Vapers, this is for you.

In the never-ending quest to make a smartphone stand out from the pack, manufacturers have tried adding a better screen or a second camera - those are all pretty common until you notice one that has a built-in vaporiser

Startup Vaporcade is trying to attract the vape market by announcing the Jupiter - a smartphone that has a vaporiser on the back

The fine folks at Vaporcade have come together to unite two previously disparate technologies into one revolutionary device: Jupiter is a smartphone with a built in vaporizer that will allow you to make calls and smoke fluids with a single magical gadget.

There isn't much information about Jupiter - except that it will be offered in two variants and priced at USD 299 (RM1,310) and USD499 (RM2,200)

Startup Vaporcade is currently offering up 3G and 4G LTE variants of its “Jupiter” smartphone for pre-order, priced at $299 and $499 respectively. The big feature for both of these devices is the vaporizer. The phone will be using Android 4.4 KitKat.

The smartphone, however, isn't a shipping product yet as it hasn't been authorised by the government of USA

In addition to Jupiter, Vaporcade also sells e-cigs and coffee. The company also claims to be working with the inventor of e-cigs.

In addition to pre-orders for the Jupiter, Vaporcade also sells e-cigs, and apparently coffee. It’s hard not to be a little skeptical of whether this phone actually will ever get off the ground. For what it is worth, the website claims that it is working with Herbert A. Gilbert, the man who is recognised as the inventor of the e-cig.

While many feel this product is nothing but an elaborate viral stunt to bring more exposure to the company, Vaporcade released this Insta video of someone smoking the Jupiter - to prove it works

Because The Verge asked, why yes, the Jupiter is real. #vape #vapelife #vaping #phone
