No, this is not some elaborate joke, phone maker Elephone have in fact launched a new lifestyle product. The Elephone Cigar is an E-cigarette.
We’ve seen smartphone makers diversify in to other markets. Xiaomi, for example have their range home gadgets, e-vehicles, accessories and TV’s, and even Meizu, Huawei and LeTV are now making more than just the humble Android phone.
Elephone have taken a different approach, one we haven’t seen from another phone maker so far, and one we aren’t likely to see other companies follow. Elephone have launched the Elephone Cigar, their version of an E-cig.
The device appears to be made of metal with a leather grip (with the Elephone logo), and there is a USB plug in the base for charging. We don’t have a clue how much it will sell for or when it be available either.
What do you think of Elephone’s latest device? Is the E-cig market a shrewd move for the phone maker?
Pepole look stupid when they smoke this
Yes they do
The USB port will probably break within 4 months, and it’ll also explode, just because……Elecrap
yes. if you charge the battery through it, fire is sure to happen…
This looks like a rebrand of a cigar my friend has
A cigar??
duh…
I smoke a lot of cigars, never smoked one that looks anything close to this….
i dont smoke at all , well at least i think so…
that would help people quit smoking because after pre-order this it would take months before shipping and at the end people would just give up on smoking.
Great job Elephone!
Hahahhahahaha
Don’t forget it would require a crucial update to actually work right which would never be available. And two weeks after it released they will announce it’s successor.
lol
Does this ele-potato have an address book?
when it comes to e-cig kangertech won my business. maybe they can build a phone i can smoke through?

Really? You’re not Xiaomi, for f**s sake. Make those phones you or at least make some good ones. But stop forcing into each and market sovyouvcant meet the demands in all of them. >.<
These are oem product well selected by elephone, for them, it’s a way to get more customer, their phones are not bad ! So i’ll just try this ecig and see if it’s a good thing i now have a aspire so i will probably make some review or a versus 🙂
