Comfort in your Hands




The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It protects the body from the sun's rays, protects body tissues against injuries and helps regulate body temperature by making the pores larger or smaller (normal body temperature 37 °C or 98.6 °F).

The nerves in the skin receive the stimulus that is then interpreted by the brain as touch, heat and cold.

Skin temperature depends on air temperature and time spent in the environment.

One square inch (6.5 square centimeters) of skin contains up to 4.5 m of blood vessels, which have as one of their functions the regulation of body temperature. The skin varies in thickness from 0.5 mm on the eyelids to 4 mm or more on the palms and soles.

The normal temperature of skin is about 33 °C or 91 °F. The flow of energy to and from the skin determines our sense of hot and cold. Heat flows from higher to lower temperature, so the human skin will not drop below that of surrounding air, regardless of wind. If a person was to be in a warm room and her skin temperature was cooler than the air, her skin temperature would rise. The opposite would happen in a cold room and warm skin temperature. The person's temperature would decrease. Humans fight air temperature by becoming warm or cold. When warm, they sweat. When cold, they get chills.




The concept of temperature comfort is vast but surely if you have ice in your hands it might give you some chills.

Stainless Steel, copper, brass, plastic are used to manufacture Mechanical Mods. In cold countries these kind of objects are not very attractive. The best way to have comfort in a cold day is a material such as Cork.

The good news is that Cork is used in the Suber model from Sobreiro Mods.

Who defends the Vaping Community?


Who defends the Vaping Community? What are we waiting for?

Probably, we don’t have shared Values. We have not yet begun to defend our rights. 

In the Vaping Community we see groups dedicated to help. We see helping each other in the reviews about hardware, juices and even accessories. We see debating in forums about different subjects like safety, health, coils, batteries, mechanical mods, regulated mods, performance, e-liquids and more.
But who defends the vaping community? Where do we see the results of the Vape Advocacy?

Of course there are associations and groups that want to make a difference like AVA - American Vaping Association – that the President speaks at vaping events in the U.S. like the Association of Health Care Journalists, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and even embarked on the Truth About Vaping Tour (a six-city speaking tour of Mississippi) or The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA) that educate the public and increase awareness about the benefits of reduced harm alternatives to smoking encouraging responsible legislative policy designed to improve public health by recognizing that smoke-free nicotine-containing products are inherently far less dangerous than smoking.



Even important opinion makers like Erik Bogren (VapersVoice.net) says: “What about Advocacy? It’s a Shared Value Right? No. Unfortunately not everyone who vapes is a vaping advocate. To be honest, I wouldn’t expect everyone who vapes to be a vaping advocate. It’s human nature and a personal choice whether to advocate or not. Again, is there a segment of the vaping community who advocate? Yes. But is it a shared value? I am going to have to say no. If it were, I believe that there would be a much stronger, more organized, and much more impactful advocacy movement in the vaping community. I am certainly not trying to play down any efforts from our vaping advocacy groups. They do great work in advocating for vaping. However, I do believe that if advocacy was a shared value among all vapers, advocacy would look very different than it does today. .. Certainly a goal for our community. But as it stands today, I don’t think advocacy is a true shared value in our vaping community.”



In the future, the vaping community will be united and the congress, organizations and governments will be more respectful about our rights. Meanwhile we all have to make an effort of educating the newbies and all who are around us. Everyone should be more respectful about their actions, Vaping is not a sport or a circus. Being serious about this subject, we can begin to overcome some gaps. 
The value of education and responsibility, this is the answer to all the new tendencies (Vape) that diminish the importance of others (tobacco) that have existed for many years and that harm us all.

One more important thing...do you want to see this excellent new objects banned from the market? Of course not!

Vaping booming bussiness - Pros and cons




Everything associated to vaping has undergone a drastic transformation in the last few years, cash registers are ringing louder than ever with more and more local manufacturers exporting their vape merchandise, growing from a small industry into a global business. As an example, Malaysia’s half-a-billion ringgit vape industry is the second largest in the world after the United States, and the biggest in Asia, according to Ibrahim Mohamed, co-organiser of the Vaporizer Convention Kuala Lumpur.

The positive aspect is that e-cig products are enthusiastically available for those who wish to transform their lifestyle and leave the toxic cigarettes behind.



The disadvantage is that many of the companies involved with e-cigs appear to have lost sight of the passion and emotional aspects that used to instill such a high level of pride amongst members of the vape community.

The Sobreiro Mod was originally conceptualized as a high-quality and innovative mech mod with a touch of style. Also it was the idea of creating a model with certain characteristics that did not exist in the market.

With Sobreiro Mod the passion and emotion as to overcome the negative effects of this growing business. The Sobreiro Mods quickly transformed into something far greater than just another mod in the market.
