Because you’ve only got two hands for scrolling, texting and vaping.
The Swype vape phone is an all-in-one nicotine vape, fitness tracker and phone that’s designed to keep you connected and entertained while providing a premium vaping experience,” according to its creators.

The interactive device costs around $20 and comes prefilled with a variety of flavors like Blue Raspberry, Gum Mint, Pina Colada, Pink Burst and “F-cking Fab.”
It’s filled with 5% nicotine juice, has three strength levels and claims to last up to 30,000 puffs.
But the single-use and disposable product doesn’t just appease your nicotine addiction, it will also satisfy your desire to stay connected.
The Swype vape phone can connect to several apps — like X — and get texts on its touch screen by connecting to your phone via Bluetooth and be personalized with different wallpapers.
One thing the phone can’t do is make calls.
To connect the device to their phones, users need to download an app on their primary phone called “WearinOS.”
It’s advertised as “a revolutionary vaping device” that’s “designed to keep you connected and entertained while providing a premium vaping experience.” YouTube
However, it doesn’t seem to be the next hot commodity.
The Swype vape has been described as “janky” and “very buggy” by a Business Insider reporter who tested the product and complained that the technology and design didn’t meet the requirements for a reliable cell phone.
The notifications did not come through reliably and some of the apps did not work at all for some users.
The Swype vape phone comes as many Gen Zers continue to be addicted to vaping and their cell phone devices — so why not combine their vices?

However, while the Swype vape phone will likely help users maintain their vaping habit, some users hoped the product would help them to disconnect from their social media/ phone addictions.
“We don’t take our regular phones out anymore. Everything that leads to us having a bad time stems from our phone,” explained 18-year-old influencer Sammy Palazzolo in a now-viral TikTok video, which has snagged 13 million views and counting.
However, the Swype vape phone doesn’t seem to be the best alternative.
