FAQs
Q. How does the Envy electronic cigarette work?
A. Envy electronic cigarettes have two or three parts: a battery, a cartomizer or an atomizer, and a cartridge. When you puff on Envy, a sensor recognizes the air flow and then the battery powers the atomizer. The atomizer then converts the liquid in the cartridgeor cartomizer into a water-based vapor that you inhale and exhale. Another great feature is that you only use what you want. Unlike traditional cigarettes, Envy electronic cigarettes are turned on when you start puffing on it and then turn off when you stop puffing. So now, instead of smoking a whole traditional cigarette—or worse: stubbing one out and then trying to choke down the bad taste later—you now can take a couple of puffs and then throw it in your pocket until you need it again. It’s that easy.
