- New Gen2 NFT collection targets mainstream users with sub-$100 pricing including shipping.
- Smart Vape uses tea-extract based, nicotine-free e-liquid with Bluetooth tracking capabilities.

Puffpaw, a decentralized physical infrastructure network project, announced the release of its Gen2 NFT collection featuring smart vapes that reward users for reducing nicotine consumption. The initiative combines blockchain technology with traditional vaping hardware to address global nicotine addiction.
Smart Vape Technology Integration
The Puffpaw system incorporates Bluetooth modules in both vape devices and pods, connecting to a mobile application that authenticates users through their NFT ownership. Each device tracks puff duration, timing, nicotine levels, and flavor preferences, recording data on the blockchain to determine reward distribution.
Co-founder Reffo Tse explains: "We can use the mobile app to track and monitor and record all of your smoking data. In order for you to maximize your financial rewards, you have to go with the non-nicotine pot, to smoke only within a certain range of each day."
Market Strategy and Distribution
The Gen2 collection includes 30,000 NFTs on Berachain, with each NFT bundled with a vape device and three pods. Working with Korean partner TREATs, Puffpaw established a sustainable supply chain that includes pod recycling and refilling operations.
"We’re even doing much bigger business than infra projects in the Korean market, because this is a real, tangible consumer product," Tse noted, highlighting the project’s practical applications beyond cryptocurrency speculation.
Health-Focused Incentives
The platform’s reward structure prioritizes nicotine reduction, offering higher returns for users who choose nicotine-free options. This approach targets both current smokers and social vapers, providing financial motivation for healthier choices.
"A lot of young folks, they don’t vape because of nicotine addiction; they vape because everybody else is vaping," Tse explained, addressing the social aspects of vaping habits. With 1.3 billion smokers globally, the project aims to influence behavioral change through blockchain-based incentives.
The initiative represents an intersection of DePIN technology and public health objectives, offering a data-driven approach to nicotine cessation through distributed ledger technology.
