What's in the box
- The device — Harb, aluminium, turned and anodised. Assembled, nothing to fit.
- Your flavours — foil-sealed cores, batch code on the back.
- Habit tracker — track every session, streaks and what you're swapping out.
Premium box. Nothing to assemble, nothing to charge. Open it, drop a core in, draw.
What this actually does
A vape gives you four things: the draw, the throat hit, the flavour and the nicotine. Only the last one builds a habit. Harb keeps the first three and drops the fourth.
Nothing heats, nothing burns. You pull air through a cotton core soaked in a steam-distilled plant oil, and that is the whole mechanism.
How to use it
Twist the body open, drop a core in, twist it shut. Draw slowly — it is closer to a cigarette than to a pod, and pulling hard gives you less, not more.
The first week
Flavours are faint for the first few days while your palate resets from nicotine. Most people say it lands properly around day five or six. If it still does nothing by day ten, send it back.
Shipping & returns
US orders ship in 3-7 business days. 30 days to change your mind, opened cores included, and return shipping is on us.
The first generation to vape for years
We're the experiment. Nobody knows what year 20 does to your lungs.
Nicotine vapes are likely to cause lung and oral cancer, says a 2026 review of 116 studies.
Stewart et al., Carcinogenesis, 2026
Higher odds of new wheezing in 18–24-year-olds who vape.
Xie et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2022
Vape aerosol samples over the EPA limit for lead. It comes from the hot coil, not the nicotine.
Olmedo et al., Environ Health Perspect, 2018
Sound familiar?
You quit smoking. Then the vape got you.
No more smell, no more packs.
It was meant to be temporary.
A cigarette ended. A vape never does. You never woke up at 2am for a cigarette.
Same draw, same hit. No nicotine, no cloud.
Why you keep reaching
It was never the nicotine. It's the ritual.
Nicotine cravings fade in a few weeks. The reach doesn't: the coffee, the car, something in your hand, the slow inhale. It's why so many people vape 0 mg and still can't put it down.
No vape in your hand, so you fake the hit: two fingers up like you're holding it, a deep inhale, a long exhale. It takes the edge off. Harb is that move with a real draw, a catch in the throat and flavor.
Described again and again on quit-vaping forums.
Smokers with the strongest hand-to-mouth habit quit far more often with something to hold and draw on. Across all smokers, rates were similar.
Caponnetto et al., Eur Respir J
With smokers' airways numbed, a cigarette stopped easing craving in the moment. The catch in the throat is part of the reward.
Rose et al., Pharmacol Biochem Behav

Reviews
People who had something else to reach for.
Finally kicked the habit. This gave my hands and mouth something to do when the cravings hit. Simple but it works.
Mike, 34 · Verified buyer
I used to sneak out for vape breaks 5 times a day. Now I just keep my Harb on my desk. No smell, nobody notices, and it keeps me focused.
Sofia 26 · Verified buyer
Actually has that throat hit I was missing. Life changer.
David, 56 · Verified buyer
Was super skeptical that a non-electronic device could help me quit. Week one was tough, but relying on this got me through the worst of it. Two months clean now.
Emma, 31 · Verified buyer
It looks sleek and doesn’t scream "I'm quitting vaping". Love the minimalist design. Fits right in my pocket alongside my keys.
Jully, 36 · Verified buyer
Gave me my lung capacity back. Thank you, Harb.
Marcus, 66 · Verified buyer
Bought it to quit smoking, but I actually use it more for anxiety now. The deep breathing helps calm my nerves before big meetings.
Chloe, 29 · Verified buyer
It’s all about breaking the routine. Having something to pull on while driving was my biggest hurdle. This solved it instantly.
Jamie, 34 · Verified buyer
Do you know how much money I was spending on disposable vapes? This paid for itself in like three days.
Lisa, 26 · Verified buyer
My girlfriend got this for me because she hated the vape clouds in the car. It took a few days to adjust, but honestly, I feel so much better.
Jake, 29 · Verified buyer
Exactly what I needed. No battery, no charging, no BS.
Elena, 26 · Verified buyer
No more weird chest pains. I breathe easier, sleep better, and still get the physical sensation of taking a drag.
Brian, 50 · Verified buyer
Going out drinking without a vape used to be impossible for me. Brought my Harb to the bar last weekend and survived without bumming a hit off anyone.
Paul, 22 · Verified buyer
The resistance is perfect. It genuinely feels like taking a real drag. I don't know how they engineered the airflow, but it hits the spot.
Omar, 37 · Verified buyer
Better than patches or gum. By a mile.
Rachel, 31 · Verified buyer
I chew on pens, bite my nails, and vape. Harb fixed the vaping and the pen chewing. Just a solid little device to keep your mind occupied.
Chris, 26 · Verified buyer
Smoked for 20 years, vaped for 5. I’ve tried everything to stop. This is the first thing that actually addressed the physical hand-to-mouth habit.
Thomas, 65 · Verified buyerHow it feels
It hits like a vape. Because it's built to.
Twist the ring almost shut and it fights back like a pod. Open it up for a looser, cigarette-style pull.
Menthol from mint and compounds from cinnamon and clove switch on the receptors behind an icy or warm catch.
McKemy et al., Nature, 2002 · Bandell et al., Neuron, 2004
12 flavors, all the same strength.
Already on 0 mg?
No nicotine still means a hot coil and aerosol.
A 0 mg vape still heats liquid on a metal coil and puts the aerosol in your lungs. Harb heats nothing.
Heated vape liquid can form formaldehyde, with or without nicotine in it.
Jensen et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

Air, plant oil, cotton. Nothing heated.
Room air enters through the ring at the bottom.
Cotton soaked in steam-distilled plant oil. The plant is named on every sachet.

Still deciding
Short answers.
Is it safe
Is Harb safe?
It's built by taking out the three things that make vaping harmful: heat, aerosol and nicotine.
- Nothing burns, nothing heats
- No coil, no battery
- Just room-temperature air across a cotton core with plant oils
Every batch lab-tested, every oil named by species. A coil at 200 °C pushing aerosol into your lungs is a different category.
Does anything go into my lungs?
No smoke, no aerosol, no oil droplets. Nothing is heated or atomized, so there are no particles for your lungs to catch.
What you taste is scent carried on plain air, the way you'd breathe in the smell of fresh mint.
Is there really no nicotine — and how do I know?
None, in any core.
- Every batch is lab-tested: scan the sachet to read its report
- Every oil is listed by its plant's Latin name
Who shouldn't use Harb?
Check with your doctor first if you:
- have asthma or another airway condition
- are pregnant
- are allergic to mint, menthol, cinnamon or clove
Keep cores away from children and pets.
Switching
How does Harb help me quit vaping?
You don't fight the habit, you swap what's inside it. Same reach, same draw, same catch in the throat, same flavor on the exhale.
What changes is what you pull in: cool flavored air instead of hot, nicotine-loaded aerosol.
The nicotine craving peaks around day 3 and fades over a few weeks. The ritual stays, and so does Harb. It's not the next thing you have to quit.
Does it work if I smoke cigarettes?
Yes, it's the same loop: the break, the first pull with coffee, the one after dinner.
Harb keeps the break and the pull and drops the smoke, so nothing clings to your clothes, car or breath. Step outside with your friends if you like. You just come back smelling like mint.
Will I still crave nicotine?
For a while. It peaks around day 3 and mostly fades within a few weeks. That's the chemical part.
What lasts for months is the reach: the car, the coffee, the 2am grab for the nightstand. That's the part Harb takes over.
Why not just quit cold turkey?
Cold turkey takes away the ritual along with the nicotine, and the ritual is what pulls you back weeks later: in the car, on a break, with an empty hand.
Harb lets you drop the nicotine and keep the ritual, so the empty hand never happens.
Why not switch to a 0 mg vape?
A 0 mg vape still heats liquid on a metal coil and puts aerosol in your lungs. It just leaves out the nicotine. And it sits on the same shelf as the nicotine version.
Harb has no coil, no liquid, no aerosol, and no stronger version to slide back to.
Do I have to ditch my vape on day one?
No. Let Harb take the easy moments first:
- Week 1: carry both
- Week 2: the vape stays home
- Week 3: it's in a drawer
- Week 4: it's gone
How it feels
Does it actually feel like vaping?
Yes, where it counts:
- the pull against resistance
- the hand-to-mouth
- a real catch at the back of the throat
- flavor on the exhale
What's different: it's cool, not warm, and there's no cloud.
Isn't it just flavored air through a straw?
That's the #1 complaint about other breath devices, so we built against it.
- The bore is 2.4 mm, not an open tube
- The airflow ring tightens the pull until it fights back like a pod
- The throat hit is in every core, not a special few
Will it calm me down the way my vape does?
A lot of that calm was never the nicotine. It's the slow pull in and the long breath out, exactly what quit coaches tell you to do when a craving hits.
Harb keeps the breath. It drops the nicotine spike and the crash that makes you need the next one.
Why does the flavor seem faint at first?
Vaping dulls your taste. People call it vape tongue.
In the first days Harb can taste lighter than you expect. As your taste comes back, the flavor gets louder.
Can I use it indoors, at work, on a plane?
No smoke, no vapor, no battery: nothing to see and nothing to charge. Up close there's a faint scent; nothing clings to clothes or seats.
Workplace and airline rules are theirs, so check first.
Your order
Which pack should I pick?
Pick by how often you'd reach for your vape:
- A few times a day: 3 cores
- Most of the day: 6 cores
- Never without it: 12 cores
Every core hits the same, so choose flavors purely on taste.
How does the refill plan work?
Cores ship every month at up to 40% off, with free shipping.
Swap flavors, skip a month or cancel anytime.
How do I swap a core and keep it clean?
- Swap: twist off the mouthpiece, drop in a new core, twist it back. Ten seconds.
- When: as soon as the flavor fades.
- Clean: rinse the mouthpiece now and then.
The anodized body has no metal taste and soaks nothing up, so one flavor never tastes of the last.
