I tried using the Ripple Relax during finals week, as I’m sure it goes without saying that I could use as much stress relief help as I could get. After really loving the VitaBar CHILL I was curious to see how this would compare, since it also has chamomile, and I was intrigued by the jasmine as that’s something I hadn’t seen before. The old device had a similar shape to the old VitaBar device, but these seem to have about half the variety of ingredients.

I really didn’t like the new device, its too wide across, I don’t like the dark blue stripe and it reminds me of an eraser. But I enjoyed the flavor, I didn’t get the jasmine super strongly but the slight lemon zest was nice. It didn’t relax me any more than the VitaBar has in the past, but it was enjoyable to use. I think the lavender flavored one could potentially have more of an effect for me since I have enjoyed those in the past and like using lavender essential oil to relax.

Overall I think The Ripple Co definitely tries to appeal to the youth with their look and overall vibe. Each device is advertised to have 1000 uses, but if you like to inhale for longer than a second like I do, I experienced it ends up coming out to far less. I couldn’t imagine that many uses fitting in such a lightweight device, and as expected it lasted around as long as the brands that advertise about half as much.
