The VOKE inhaler review, and whilst this is NOT an e-cigarette, we’ve had a lot of interest in reviewing this alternative to a vaping ‘device’ or starter kit.
Launched in the UK back in November 2019, the company goes to great lengths to say this is not a vape device.
There’s no batteries and no heat – instead users fill the cig-a-like from the main box and inhale.
The VOKE inhaler has been licensed as a ‘medicine’ by the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care and can be given out on prescription.
The company behind the brand has caused a bit of a stir – especially with the New Nicotine Alliance – after it emerged it was using deaths from EVALI in a campaign to raise funding.
I’ve covered that issue here:
Is VOKE ‘Exploiting’ EVALI Deaths For Money?
VOKE Removes Anti-Vape Data After Advocacy Group Complaint
So…a bit of controversy to spice up the VOKE inhaler review
What Can We Expect From the VOKE Inhaler?
In a nutshell – the VOKE inhaler is designed to help smokers quit!
It’s priced around the same as a packet of 20 cheaper branded lit cigarettes and there’s 20 0.45mg ‘charges’ in the box.
VOKE says:
Voke’s unique design delivers nicotine to rapidly relieve cravings whilst mimicking many of the rituals of smoking.
A single Voke stick may reduce your cravings for several hours.
Let’s see if that is indeed the case.
OK, after talking with the company behind VOKE [Kind Consumer] for the two stories above – I hinted we would like to do a review and were given the website where we could purchase one lol.
So this was bought [as very many of our review products are] rather than sent in for free.
And obviously and given it was Jonny’s cash not mine lol – my thoughts and opinions cannot be bought or swayed – biased I ain’t
Let’s see what this is all about then…
Inside the Box
Sparse contents to say the least – however the ‘box’ in this case contains the reservoir of nicotine and cig-a-like inhaler.
BTW even the wrapper comes off like that of a packet of fags!

Key Features
VOKE makes it very clear this is NOT an e-cigarette – it’s a nicotine inhaler.
There’s no heat or batteries and NO vapour on the exhale.
What you have is an inhaler made to look exactly like a lit cigarette.
You push the cig-a-like into the bottom of the box – designed to look like a packet of 20 lit cigarettes – and fill the inhaler.
There’s 20 re-fills in each box dispensing the equivalent of 5 puffs – at least that’s what I found, and the nicotine strength is just 0.45mg.
More on the strength in a moment…
All very simple and all designed to offer the user that ‘familiar feeling’ of smoking.
Incidentally, listed among the ingredients is PG – Propylene Glycol – so if you’re allergic to that this might not be a good choice to use to stop smoking.

Design and Build Quality
It’s slightly smaller than a packet of cigarettes, and the box is made from lightweight plastic.
You press the side of the box which reveals the inhaler and that opens and closes with a loud but satisfying click.
The inhaler is nothing special it’s a hollow plastic tube! But yes it looks like a cigarette I guess.
Design wise and given pretty much all countries now have plain wrapping on packs – the VOKE box looks quite smart and reminiscent of a packet of 20 cigarettes – there’s even a large figure 20 adding to the look.
As well as the included instruction sheet, there’s also a wealth of information on the back of the box which you can peel off.
That’s about it really – as I said all very simple, and straightforward.
How Does the VOKE Perform?
First up a very quick ‘n easy start guide:
Press side of box to remove the inhaler
Hold box upright and insert inhaler firmly into the port on the base
Hold for 5 seconds and release
Inhaler should now be filled
Inhale as you would a lit cigarette
Refill when empty!
