The Ingenious Luci Cigarette

If you're trying to ween yourself off nicotine, or simply enjoy smoking but don't enjoy the harmful (and potentially deadly) side effects, check out the Luci Cigarette ($150).



This cigarette-shaped device uses three pieces — a circular, rechargeable lithium ion battery, an atomization chamber, and a flavor cartridge — to deliver a cigarette-like smoking experience without the smoke, sensing when you inhale, lighting the tip-mounted LED and vaporizing the flavoring solution (available with or without nicotine) to deliver a puff of flavor that's free from harmful toxins.

Everyone Could Use This Right About Now

Some people are notoriously bad at wrapping gifts. Help them evolve this year with the OpenX Precision Wrapping Paper Slitter ($6).



This handy dandy tool, with its scissor-beating gliding action, makes you look so good that you'll get accusations of taking advantage of the donation-only Girl Scout wrapping kiosk at the mall. And probably of the actual girl scouts. but I'll try not to repeat last year's mistakes. Click pic for more.

Frying Your Thanksgiving Turkey? Try The Oil-Less Fryer

Take Pretty Pictures With RedScale Film

Finally, an easy way to do red scale shooting on an analog camera.


Lomography's new RedScale Film ($15/3-pack) takes the guesswork out of this old photographic technique — where shooters would load their film backwards to shoot through the semi-transparent protective layer on the back of 35mm color negative film — by spooling the film in reverse. The result? Pictures with a smooth, funky, and gorgeous red-orange cast, which can be processed at the local drug store. Film camera, you've got some life left in you yet. Click pic for more.
