    Xiaomi’s Pule Smart Ashtray with Magnetic Charging Hits Crowdfunding

    A crowdfunding initiative for the Pule smart ashtray has commenced on Xiaomi Youpin. This innovative ashtray is said to eliminate odors and purify secondhand smoke. It features magnetic charging.

    The Pule smart ashtray aims to mitigate air pollution when a smoker is present. It decreases the inhalation of secondhand smoke for non-smokers nearby. This smoke contains harmful substances such as tar, nicotine, formaldehyde, and ammonium compounds. Traditional air diffusion methods have proven ineffective. Secondhand smoke remains detrimental, potentially causing various illnesses. Even with open windows, a substantial amount of harmful gases and strong odors linger in the air.

    Advanced Purification System

    The Pule smart ashtray boasts a four-layer purification mechanism that includes a plasma generator, composite water filter, H12 high-efficiency HEPA filter, and high-iodine activated carbon layer. This configuration effectively addresses air pollution in confined spaces. The smart ashtray employs hydrolysis technology, which has a high solubility for nicotine and other harmful substances. It utilizes water as a filter layer and incorporates a special fiber mesh that absorbs tar to remove harmful elements from smoke.

    The plasma released during operation helps to break down and precipitate small molecular compounds responsible for odors, while also eliminating germs. The components of the Pule smart ashtray can be cleaned and reused, allowing for prolonged use of the product. Extending the replacement cycle of these parts results in cost savings and increased longevity. The ashtray is equipped with a built-in high-capacity battery, ensuring long battery life, and supports magnetic charging. The smart ashtray also features a sliding cover with a hidden light strip that provides low-power alerts and optimized lighting.

    Pricing & Availability

    The Pule smart ashtray is available for 199 yuan ($27) and can be pledged through Xiaomi Youpin. Additional information about the smart ashtray is available on Xiaomi Youpin.
