Inside the cabin car, explanations are provided with a guide staff. First, choose one of the three brands: “Bright Tobacco” (Regular), “Fresh Mix” (Menthol), and “Intensely Fresh” (Strong Menthol).
How to use “glo” is very simple. Insert the stick into the main body and press and hold the round button. Then the circle will shine every 1/4. It takes about 40 seconds to complete the preparation and the vibrator trembles, from which you can enjoy the flavor of the stick.
The staff will explain its function while you smoke “glo”. In particular, a graphic display shows that 90% or more of toxic components have been eliminated compared to cigarettes. The point is that the odor does not affect the clothes and surroundings.
