Cooling Vape Juice Update

  • Since our last meeting we have validated additional predictions from our VLM pipeline for detecting cooling e-cigarette juices.

  • We have now verified 500 predictions with only 7 of those being incorrect, this results in a 98.6% accuracy.

  • Up to this point all of these products have been from a single website, vape.com.

  • In order to have a more robust test of the pipeline we are expanding to other websites to see how that impacts our results.

  • We are bringing in additional samples from Perfect Vape, Vaping.com, Vapesourcing, and CSVape.

  • This additional data will not only increase our sample size but introduce some variance from how these websites are formatted and what information they provide.

Expanding Cooling Flavor Detection

  • Upon further review of websites and data, I do believe there is an opportunity to apply this method to disposable e-cigarettes.

  • The only issue I see is that our object detection network is not going to be able to distinguish between disposable and re-usable e-cigarettes.

  • Thus, we will need to scrape sites only for disposables that we know will come pre-loaded with a e-cigarette juice flavor.

  • In our database we have already tagged products with this category and should be able to use that data.

  • This would expand the detection from e-cigarette juices to disposable e-cigarettes to see how the performance compares.
