Within a market that is rapidly shifting to heated electronic cigarettes, the appeal of traditional cigarettes may have been lost.

The aim of this advanced development project was to seek the possibility of a“third cigarette”, for those who are not inclined to electronic cigarettes, and to maintain values and merits of traditional cigarettes, by igniting capsules.

A cigarette capsule is attached simply by knocking the top button, and then smoked by directly lighting the tip with a lighter. The capsule is discharged by knocking again.So, there is neither need to touch the heated capsule directly nor to worry about getting burnt or dirty.

Heating with a flame rather than through electricity deepens the taste, and the act of looking at the flame can create a relaxing effect.
Additionally, the time from lighting the cigarette to smoking is reduced, the new design takes just 5 to 10 seconds whereas electronic cigarettes need about20 to 40 seconds.

Electronic cigarettes are unique in the way they can heat tobacco leaves without burning them, they place reduced burden on the body and creates less smoke or ash to inconvenience those around.

Incorporating such advantages, a design that encourages communication by allowing the capsules to be visible, a multitude of capsules enabling flavour variations to match your mood, fosters the sharing of the capsules and a new layer of communication is anticipated.

Furthermore, it is easy to clean and maintain as the device is simpler, and since charging is unnecessary, it is more compact and lightweight without a battery, making it handier to carry around.

There is also less sense of discomfort when witnessing someone smoking an electronic cigarette compared to traditional cigarettes.

How the cigarette is stored and carried has also been considered, whether it is placed on a desk or is carried around, it was designed together with accessories, a leather case to carry multiple capsules, a lighter and a stand that doubles as a container for used capsules.

Since it was a design that is completed by using fire, it was named “en” (the kanji character for flame).

在一个迅速转向加热电子香烟的市场中，传统香烟的吸引力可能已经丧失。

这一高级发展项目的目的是寻求为那些不喜欢电子烟的人研制“第三支烟”的可能性，并通过点燃胶囊来保持传统香烟的价值和优点。

只需按一下顶部按钮，就可以将烟盒连接起来，然后用打火机直接点燃烟盒的顶端来吸烟。再敲一次，胶囊就出来了。因此，不用直接触摸加热的胶囊，也不用担心烫伤或弄脏。

用火焰而不是电加热可以加深味道，看着火焰的行为可以创造一种放松的效果。

此外，从点燃香烟到吸烟的时间也缩短了，新的设计只需5到10秒，而电子香烟则需要20到40秒。

电子烟的独特之处在于，它可以在不燃烧烟叶的情况下加热烟叶，它减轻了人体的负担，产生的烟雾或灰烬也更少，不会给周围的人带来不便。

考虑到这些优势，通过让胶囊可见来鼓励交流的设计，多种胶囊使口味变化与你的情绪相匹配，促进胶囊的共享，一个新的交流层被期待。

此外，由于设备更简单，易于清洁和维护，而且无需充电，因此不带电池就更小巧轻便，携带起来更方便。

与传统香烟相比，看到别人抽电子烟时，不舒服的感觉也更少。

香烟如何储存和携带也被考虑，无论是放在桌子上还是随身携带，它与配件一起设计，一个可以携带多个胶囊的皮箱，一个打火机和一个可兼作容器的支架。

由于这是一个用火完成的设计，它被命名为“en”(汉字“火焰”的意思)。
