Brainchild of David Edwards, a Harvard professor and inventor, and Tom Hadfield as the CEO and co-founder of Breathable Foods, Aeroshot is a new caffeine inhaler that is going to be sold in the New York and Boston are next year.
This is just a quick topic to inform you all of the current free Aeroshots (http://aeroshots.com/) promotion, which is sadly only for those in the US. If you make a habit of staying up late or sleeping little, and are disgusted by your usual choice of coffee or energy drinks, you might be interested in the inhaler.
And hey, it's free stuff - free is good, no?
Since I'm ineligible for this US-only promotion and I've already signed up and received my ten-person coupon, I thought I'd share it here for you guys to use and puff on. Feel free to use it, or sign up for your own to use or share.

I'd call spambot, but you're well-known and your grammar isn't terrible.

Ever since I heard about this stuff (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89208.msg2453941#msg2453941), I don't trust anything that's supposed to keep you awake, including large amounts of caffeine. I'll just power on with ginger ale and MSGs thank you.

Funny how a spambot like me would wait two years to spam about a product released in the last week, joining several games and contributing with a few thousand forum posts in the meantime.

Frankly, out of all the prescription/non-prescription stimulants, caffeine is most likely one of the least damaging and safest substances out there.
That being said, it is still moderately addictive and may affect mental development and attention span when taken during childhood and adolescence.

A) I would certainly take NuVigil. Aside from becoming a zombie, what's the risk?
B) I appreciate the knowledge of this aeroshot product, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I wish more spambots were like you.

Somehow I think instant delivery systems for caffeine probably have some draw backs. In B4 someone experiments with doing 4 or 5 back-to-back.

Hey, guys, I just had a brilliant idea that I'm sure has never occurred to any-
In B4 someone experiments with doing 4 or 5 back-to-back.
DAMMIT. Somebody already anticipated my SCIENCE!

Has your body grown accustomed to your regular FOUR CUPS a day of coffee? Do you work the long shift starting at NEGATIVE EIGHT A.M. in the morning? Well with this new CAFFEINE INHALER that's right I said CAFFEINE INHALER you can snort and gasp your way through any night for the low low price of reducing your lifespan some restrictions apply offer void in coffee shops.
-
This feels like a satire. This can't be real.
Next they'll have XCM energy drink, fortified with eXtreme Crystal Meth! Get some, broskis!
-
We've made a caffeine knife. You stab yourself in the shoulder and never sleep again.
-
Caffeine football helmet! You can just keep playing and playing!
-
Caffeine skin suits! Absorb your neurotic, insomniac goodness straight through your pores! From the makers of meth socks.
-
ROID energy shot! The kind that makes you strong, not the kind that makes you need a special seat!
Fuck yeah, broseph! This energy's tight!
Modern Warfare 3, dude!

I'll wait for someone else to die of Aeroshots. If that doesn't happen for a few years, hell yes I'm buying them.
Also, if you think this stuff is crazy, wait until Orexin-A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orexin-A) hits the market. No one will ever sleep again. Ever. You want 24 354-hour wakefulness; here is your fucking holy grail.
-
It'll only be a matter of time before we see meth that can be absorbed through the skin.

You realize that once that becomes mainstream, the mandatory workday will become 23 hours. (To allow one hour for conjugal visits and travel time.)
I'm also kinda suspect that there are no side effects. NONE at all. Goddamn PEZ candy has side effects, don't tell me this stuff doesn't.
-

The only side effect I know of is the irrational desire to collect the various cute dispensers.
-
And a thickening and enlargement of one's midsection with repeated use (although there's only 35 calories per roll...)
-
Pretty sure that overworking your body (the increase in heart rate alone due to caffeine intake alone) will lead to incresed risk of heart attacks and strokes.... do they count as side effcts?

Yeah, I imagine if this catches on it'll be quickly banned forever by the federal government because it's a "Drug delivery system" and isn't approved by the FDA.
-
This reminds me of people doing nitrous oxide / laughing gas at one of the last music festivals I went to. Most doing them had the body language of someone doing drugs but then they'd inhale the contents of a balloon. Made me laugh to see it.
I only drink a couple of cups of tea over the weekend and not every weekend. No idea what these Aeroshots would do to me.

I won't be worried until I see people snorting lines of it.

See: Aerosol.
Did you know that if you place bloodborne diseases in an aerosol can, you can spread it that way? You can give people AIDS and rabies if you had the money to make them :P
-
Yeah true, but you can't exactly go and buy a aerosol spray can full of smallpox at the local gas station, either.
Some other thoughts, I wonder if these Aeroshots will taste like straight caffeine, which is incredibly bitter, or if they'll come in fun fruit flavors or something to try and mask it?
What happens if you aim the can wrong and you get it into your eyes? Some insects and animals like frogs are incredibly sensitive to caffeine, could I use Aeroshots double as a pest control?
If the can is pressurized, could it be made to explode in order to heighten the alertness and productivity of people caught in the blast radius?
-

Only someone all too accustomed to caffeine like me would know how caffeine tastes, and you're spot on :P
Regardless, doing a demo of these things is a good idea. Maybe they'll really catch on but I see it being just the next big fad.
-
I don't exactly understand how tolerance works, but ya think using that would make coffee less effective...
-
Question: Does anyone actually drink those five-hour lifespan reducers? Because this seems like much the same thing, a stupid way to deliver stupidly high doses of "WAKEMEUPSOIDON'TLOSEAFINGERATWORKOHWAITIHAVEANOFFICEJOB".
-
I have a massivley unhealthy caffine intake. I havet had any for 2 days and can hardly operate. Im off to the shop to go get some in a bit, bare minimum of coke/pepsi later, like a junike looking for a fix.

You don't want to cut your finger off in the scanner, now do you? :P
-
You could cut your finger off with one of those big paper trimmer cutting board thingies with the big blade on the edge, at the office. Whatever those are actually called.
Though I think you'd be more likely to do that if you had too much caffeine and were really trying to work too quickly, since you'd have to cut it off yourself, not just passively allow it to happen because you were not quick and alert enough to avoid it like if you worked at a stamp sheet metal press or something.

I believe it's called a "Paper Cutter"

A paper cutter? :P
Here, have some caffeine. *spritz spritz spritz*
EDIT: A ninja is you.

I get coffee-withdrawal-headaches on holidays if I forget to keep up my caffeine levels. Fucking awful.
-
I get that if I don't take 300mg of caffiene pills or drink a 2-liter of Dew a day. Every day. If I don't get my fix, I want to die from a migraine and upset stomach.
-
I get pretty jittery if I don't have about 1 cup of coffee every two days.
Then again, I don't mind, because it's cheap here.

^This is why I've never tried coffee, nor ever will :P

It won't be that extreme at all. Orexin-A only causes mental fatigue to cease, physical fatigue is not affected. While you can restore the latter without sleeping, it takes way more time.

You've obviously mistaken employers for someone who gives a damn. As long as my brain works, they're not going to care if my body is tired. Especially in our "information economy" where most of us don't get out of our chair all day anyhow when we *are* working.
-
It also might be expensive, there is that to consider. I'm not really sure of its cost, myself.
Anyway, I seriously doubt it can be used indefinitely.
-

I'd spray that stuff in the airconditioning units. See that productivity rise!

Well, I mean we all gotta die sometimes, preferably in a undignified alert state with eyes dilated.

Or in my case, having sex while skydiving at the age of 103.

In Korea (and Afghanistan) you can get energy drinks with a whole packs worth of nicotine. Is that close enough?

I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea. Is one of the side effects turning green and bazooka-barfing for five minutes? Because that's the general effect of getting a massive wallop of nicotine into your system all at once. Had a buddy who picked tobacco as a summer job one year. He forgot to bring gloves the first day. By noon, he was lying in the back of a truck praying for death.
-
I have no idea. But I'll ask some of my friends who have been deployed overseas what the stuff was called, may be able to find out how much nicotine it had.
-
Something-Tiger, I believe.

Wild Tiger.

From what I understand they don't actually have nicotine in them, the ingrediants list nicotinamide and nicotinic acid which are different names for niacin. I've personally never had one, just because the taste and smell of energy drinks just makes me nausated. Too many Jagerbomb hangovers back in the day, I guess.
