Our Story - Why Puff Off Exists
Puff Off is a Sydney-based Australian company that makes nicotine-free flavoured air inhalers: a simple, non-electronic way to keep the hand-to-mouth ritual while leaving vaping behind. Founded in 2025, Puff Off has been used by more than 12,000 Australians, and every starter kit is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
28 years of the same habit
Puff Off exists because our founder, Sam, spent almost three decades reaching for the same thing.
Sam smoked cigarettes for 20 years. When vapes came along, they looked like the way out, so he switched - and spent the next 8 years vaping instead. Different device, same loop: the morning coffee, the drive to work, the stressful afternoons, the wind-down at night. After 28 years, the reach had become part of how his hands worked.
Quitting cold turkey lasted a few days at a time. Patches and gum addressed the nicotine, but not the part that actually kept pulling him back: the inhale, the pause, the thing to do with his hands.
The turning point was realising the habit had two layers. The nicotine was one. The ritual was the other - and nothing on the shelf respected the ritual without keeping the addiction attached to it.
So he built the thing he couldn't find: a flavoured inhaler with no nicotine, no smoke, no vapour, no batteries. Just air and natural flavour, in a device that feels familiar in the hand. The habit gets somewhere to land while the addiction loses its grip.
Today Sam is completely free. No cigarettes, no vapes, no nicotine - for the first time in 28 years.
What Puff Off is - and isn't
Puff Off is a non-electronic aromatherapy inhaler for adults 18+. Each device uses replaceable flavour cores infused with natural essential oils. You draw air through it exactly like you would a vape, but nothing burns, nothing heats, and nothing is addictive.
- No nicotine - nothing to keep you hooked
- No tobacco, THC, or CBD
- No batteries, coils, or heating elements - nothing to charge, nothing to leak
- No smoke or vapour - just flavoured air
It isn't a medical device, and we don't make health claims. It's a habit tool: a way to keep the familiar hand-to-mouth routine while you move away from the thing that was running it.
Why we obsess over the ritual
Most quit attempts fail at the behavioural layer, not the chemical one. The hand reaches before the brain decides - in the car, after meals, mid-stress. Puff Off is designed for exactly those moments: pocket-sized, always ready, satisfying enough that the moment passes without a negotiation.
That's also why flavour matters so much to us. If a replacement feels like punishment, nobody sticks with it. Our flavour cores, from Watermelon Chill to Coffee, exist so the switch feels like a choice, not a sentence.
Where we are today
Puff Off is a small Australian team based in Sydney, NSW, shipping Australia-wide. Since launching in 2025, more than 12,000 Australians have used Puff Off to put distance between themselves and their vape. Every order is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee - if it doesn't help, you don't pay.
We're not a pharmaceutical company and we're not a vape shop. We're people who know exactly how loud a craving can be at 9pm, because we lived it for 28 years - and we build for that moment.
