Vaping has taken the world by storm with more and more people getting interested in it and buying their own vaping kits. While this can be a safer alternative than smoking, it comes with its own hazards. Discover these tips and tricks on how to vape safely so you can continue to enjoy your vaping experience. Charge Your Device with the Manufacturer’s Charger Although it might be tempting to charge your vape with any charger you have laying around, it’s best to stick with your manufacturer’s charger that came with the device. This will ensure that your charger is compatible with your vape’s battery. Also, don’t leave your vape plugged in overnight, and follow any instructions that came with your kit. Check Your Battery Quality Many vape devices and kits come with powerful lithium-ion batteries. They can also have specific batteries that you’re supposed to use with your device. You never want to use a cheap battery or one that isn’t recommended with your device because t...
The Rams have rolled out several legendary wide receivers over the course of the franchise's history. In this article, I count down the Rams' top five wide receivers of all time. Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (17) celebrates with fellow receivers Cooper Kupp (18) and Brandin Cooks (12) after catching a touchdown pass in the third quarter against the Minnesota Vikings in 2018. Who Are the Greatest Wide Receivers in Rams History? The Rams have had numerous superstar wide receivers over the years, but there are five who stand out above the rest. With 36 individual 1,000-yard seasons in franchise history, the Rams’ top receivers cover some of the finest years the team has seen. Selecting the greatest receiver in franchise history was an especially daunting task, as a pair of players from the same era were both strong contenders for the No. 1 selection. Three wide receivers who played primarily for the Rams have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and two more ...

Casper announces the Glow — a portable, sleep-friendly light

Over the past few years, mattress company Casper has expanded its product lineup to include everything from dog beds to nap pillows. (It’s also opened its own nap store.) The latest addition: the Glow, an $89 light.
While the company has never made this kind of internet-connected hardware before, Chief Strategy Officer Neil Parikh pitched the Glow as part of Casper’s mission to improve sleep. And although there’s already whole categories of sleep-friendly light bulbs and smart lamps, the Glow has a couple of smart touches that could make it particularly appealing.
The basic use of the Glow is pretty straightforward. You turn it on by flipping it over, and it fills your room with warm LED light. The light then dims to darkness over a 45-minute period — as Chief Product Officer Jeff Chapin put it, it’s “mimicking the setting of the sun and it helps you get sleepier as it dims into lower and lower amplitudes.”
You can control and customize the Glow with a smartphone app, but Chapin said, “There are some people who are never going to download the app and that’s fine.” That’s because the Glow can also be controlled by gesture — flipping it to turn it on and off again, twisting it (when it’s set on a flat surface) to adjust the brightness and wiggling it to get a low light.
The Glow is also portable, so if you wake up in the middle of the night and need to get a glass of water or use the restroom, you can just pick it up and carry it with you, rather than turning on a bright kitchen light. You can also set a wake-up time so that the Glow gradually lights up again.
“We’ve leveraged the good and the bad of light so that it would help you fall asleep, stay asleep and go back to sleep into the night,” Chapin said.
In fact, if you’re a frequent traveler who struggles with jet lag, you can even “freeze” the settings, pack the Glow in your suitcase and take it with you to your destination, though Chapin admitted, “We don’t know how many people are going to do that.”
In addition to buying a single Glow for $89, you can also get a two-pack for $169. The light comes with a small base for wireless charging.
The Casper team sent me a couple of Glows to try out for myself. I wasn’t able to download the app, but the Glow was indeed largely controllable by gesture. (My only real complaint is that the wiggle-for-dim-light only worked sporadically for me.)
Keep in mind that I didn’t have a particularly sophisticated or sleep-friendly lighting setup before this, and that it’s hard to know how I would have slept on any given night without the Glow. Still, I can say that I found myself getting sleepier as the light dimmed, and I seemed to pass out more quickly and reliably than normal. And since the Glow is pretty small (five inches tall and three inches wide), it was easy to find room for it in my cluttered bedroom, and to carry it around when necessary.
It sounds like Casper has plans for more products that go beyond bedding, addressing broader environmental factors that affect sleep.
“You can expect a lot more from us in the same vein, trying to help people [sleep] across the board, in a multivariate way,” Parikh said. “It’s a very complicated problem.”
