Designed for traditional cigarette enthusiasts, METEX - NEX is a slim HNB (heat not burning) e-cigarette with a charging case, providing a more convenient and healthier experience for cigarette enthusiasts on the basis of retaining the using feeling and habit of traditional cigarettes.

Inspired by the detachable design of the traditional cigarette case and the cigarettes, the cigarette-shaped heating rod of METEX · NEX can be charged by magnetic contacts attached to the square charging case, and can be taken out of the case at any time like a traditional cigarette. The power of the METEX - NEX charging case can support the heating of twenty cigarettes at a time, and the heating rod can assist in the heating of two cigarettes, which ensures the capacity of a pack of cigarettes, and also solves the problem that the e-cigarettes could not continue working due to the low battery capacity. With the assembling form and the thin volume, it is more compact and portable. And the modern metallic color also provides users with a new experience blending the classic with the modern.

Adopting the resistive circumferential heating technology, which is different from the past heating sheet heating technology, METEX · NEX reduces the cleaning needs of the e-cigarette. As a non-burning product, it reduces the harmful substances released by tobacco burning, while also providing a green smoking experience for users by offering convenience in situations where traditional lighters cannot be carried.
