Puff detection
When the device is switched on, puffing draws air through the bottom of the cartridge activating the heater.
The liquid from the container is carried to the MESH heating element. The liquid is heated to form an aerosol that is inhaled through the mouthpiece.

Low-Liquid Detection
The liquid in the consumable cap is sufficient for the device to be used several times. When the liquid reaches a low level, the device displays a red signal and no further heating takes place. This prevents overheating and “dry puffs” which is responsible for the creation of higher levels of harmful chemicals1,2.

Switching Off
After switching off, the consumable cap is removed from the device and a new one is added.
Classic e-vapor products
Classic e-cigarettes use a “coil & wick” system to heat a nicotine-containing solution. The wick draws the nicotine-containing liquid onto a coil-heating element to heat the liquid and create a vaporized aerosol. In these systems, the temperature of the heater can vary significantly depending on how strongly the e-cigarette is puffed. Several studies have shown that puffing on an e-cigarette when the liquid level is low results in "dry-puffs" that can drastically change the chemistry of the aerosol. Under these conditions, the levels of a number of harmful chemicals are significantly higher1,2 compared to levels found in e-cigarettes that have sufficient liquid.
MESH
Our latest e-vapor product uses closed-system e-liquid caps to prevent tampering and liquid leakage. A new heating element and mouthpiece are built into each replaceable cap to maintain product hygiene. Three main elements were further developed to make our latest e-vapor product a more acceptable smoke-free alternative: the mesh heater, the heat-control system, and the low liquid detection system.
The MESH
heating element
The current generation wick is eliminated and the coil is replaced by a metal mesh. When the liquid is introduced to the mesh heater the increased surface area provided by the mesh material helps heat the liquid in a more consistent way than current generation coil & wick systems.
Heat-control
technology
The temperature of the heater is maintained between 200-220 °C, rather than varying depending on the puff strength.
Low-liquid
detection system
The “low-liquid detection system” will cut off the power supplied to the mesh heater once the level of the liquid has dropped below a certain level, eliminating "dry-puffs".
We have scientifically demonstrated that using our e-cigarettes indoors, when permitted, has no negative effect on overall air quality.
