The Information Age has recorded perhaps the greatest era of innovation, development, and research-based discoveries. Technology has transformed the future of man in all its facets, from medicine to lunar exploration, from mobile communication to governance, and from architecture to engineering among many other areas of life. Electronic cigarettes too, have not been left behind. A vaporizer pen, most commonly referred to as the vape pen, has now embraced an unprecedented level of innovative redesign and improvement to gain a popularity you simply cannot ignore. Perhaps this explains why they even being recommended by doctors. For many centuries now, man has always redesigned his means of transport to suit his taste and needs, thus nurturing the modern automobile. Interestingly, weed lovers have not been any different.

For a moment, forget about the legal, medical, ethical, and moral concerns behind vape pens, credible as they may be, and just consider the infinite potential of 21st century design. If you knew what the vape pen was a few years ago, you would most probably not recognize what a modern vape pen has become. Modern vape pens are not only popular, but they have become a common item among online and offline retailers, some even being used by Hollywood celebrities. The new generation of vape pens has three distinctive features that exemplify how man can exploit science to transform the future towards personal preferences, interests, and intent/purpose.
Redesign Features of New-Generation Vape Pens
- Introducing Discretion and Privacy
Not many years ago, anyone could guess that vape pens were used to smoke marijuana. Even without previous knowledge, one could correctly predict that vape pens were associated with weed smoking. Their appearance and size easily gave them way as delimitated apparatus used by illiterate and criminal drug abusers. This means that the social image of using a vape pen was no different or less negative from that of having a bong or joint. Given the overall bad impression of using marijuana, the vape pen has gradually been redesigned to facilitate discretion and privacy.

The traditional maze of smoke that was associated with burning or inhaling weed has been replaced with a nearly smokeless gadget. The traditional apparatus that required sharing among a group of weed lovers has now been replaced with a pen-size vaporizer for individual use. The big sized nature of the traditional joint has been replaced with a small gadget that one refills and recharges to use as an electronic cigarette. Further, the lighter has been replaced with battery-powered heater that effectively vaporizes the cannabis and by doing so replaces the smoky maze associated with a traditional joint. In effect therefore, the new generation of vape pens, now prioritizes discretion and privacy to an extent of appearing classy, advanced, and civilized.
- Pursuit of Convenience and Preference
Modern vape pens have now been redesigned to serve, conveniently, the unique and individualized preference of man. Even more appealing than the privacy and discretion attributed to the modern vape pen has been their adaptability to man's convenience and personal preference. Today, not all the vape pen devices in the market are designed to offer similar functionalities. There are those that rely on oils and waxes to operate, while others are designed exclusively for dry herbs. Even others, have been refined for specialized liquid formulas of cannabis, for advanced weed users. The vape pen has now been redesigned to facilitate what is convenient and preferable by an individual user, where no user has to use the same type of vaporizer, regardless of what they want or prefer. Some vape pens in the market today even have a 3-in-1 design for users who need to inhale, simultaneously but independently, three distinctive formulas.
- Consolidating Functionality for Optimal Portability
Finally, the new generation of vape pens has a simple, elegant, and sleek design that consolidates numerous functionalities like the mobile phone. Within a pen-sized vape pen, you can now heat herbs up to 2050 C or 4000 F, and yet the combustion remains relatively smokeless. So small in size (adding to privacy, discretion, and convenience they promise), the well-build vape pens have become an innovative assembly of assorted components into a classy package. A sizeable tank for refills, a battery-powered atomizer for heating, a battery chamber, an elegant mouthpiece, and accompanying on/off functional button, have all been consolidated into a small-sized pen that is extremely flexible and portable. As such, the number of weed lovers has not reduced. Rather, they have rather increased, triggering growth of the vaporizer industry. Truth is, they are now only using the new generation vape pen.

There are numerous arguments for and against the use of vape pens, besides an assortment of religious, legal, moral, and even cultural undertones. Regardless however, this has not hindered the growing usage of new generation vape pens, and they potential profitability in business. You will easily note the increase of retailers, online and offline, merchandising the vape pens. Similarly, there has been a significant rise in the number of empirical studies on the benefits and or side effects of using vape pens. In reality, modern vape pens have experienced an unprecedented boom in popularity and usage. Important to note however, is the fact that it is nearly impossible to observe increased usage of vape pens. What has happened is that vape pens have been redesigned in a manner that introduces discretion and popularity among users, adapted to the convenience and preference of users, and then consolidated numerous functionalities, both new and traditional, to an extremely portable gadget/package. We now cannot see the increasing numbers of users, or even witness the vape pen being used, courtesy of the new generation redesign.
