Vapor Corp. announced its Vapor X personalized, rechargeable vaporizer unit will become available to consumers with patent pending fingerprint lock technology in time for the 2014 holiday retail season. There will be a working prototype and early iteration of the product to try during ShowStoppers at CES 2014, Booth # A5.

Vaporizers are the rechargeable, customizable, high-end cousin of the disposable electronic cigarette. The Vapor X with patent pending fingerprint lock technology will incorporate biometric technologies in order to keep the device locked and turned off unless the authorized user is present. When first purchased, the device will require an authorized user to be assigned through a fingerprint scan.

Once this user is assigned, he or she is the only person who can activate the device. This will not only protect against minors being able to turn on the device, but it will deem the device useless in the case of theft. The device will retail for between $199 and $299.
