The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
Swirl is built around the philosophy of “a seamless experience from first to last puff,” offering a stable, smooth, and immersive vaping experience through innovations in power system, interaction design, and aesthetics.

Unlike most high-puff-count chargeable e-cigarettes that require frequent charging—often leading to interrupted use and inconsistent flavor as battery power drops—Swirl features a 3,500 mAh high-capacity battery. This ensures stable output, consistent atomization, and exceptional flavor from the first puff to the last. The device also offers one-press Pulse Mode and adjustable draw resistance, allowing users to tailor the vaping experience to their taste preferences.

The exterior design is inspired by the swirling motion of cosmic nebulae, with the smoke visually evoking the swirling nebulae and flowing galaxies. The design team translated this inspiration into the product’s visual narrative: when holding Swirl, users feel as if they are holding a miniature universe, with smoke drifting like starlight. To achieve this effect, the transparent e-liquid window features a surrounding screen displaying a dynamic nebula animation, which visually responds to each inhale, creating an immersive experience that pleases both the eyes and the senses. The side panel is decorated with star trail patterns, weaving a unified visual narrative. The rounded body fits comfortably in the hand, and the metallic finish and a warm gold tone provide a refined tactile and visual experience, showing Swirl’s premium quality.
