IT STARTED OUT QUITE SIMPLE
For us smoking went hand in hand with falling in love with life. So when the time had come to quit smoking, we did not. Not so much because of the addictiveness but because it felt like leaving valuable parts of ourselves behind. Then came electric cigarettes and at first we did not like them. Replacing the combustion process of a tobacco cigarette with an aerosolization however has been an indisputable breakthrough and with it appeared the glimpse of an opportunity. Creating a cigarette which makes the sensation not only less invasive but keeps alive the magic of its tobacco sister.
AFTER AN EIGHT YEAR LONG JOURNEY
We have come up with the first electric cigarette which not only features the size of a Marlboro 100 but uses the smallest full-fledged and replaceable electronics unit paired with a replaceable battery cell. This enables us to use the fanciest materials and production techniques for our cigarette shell like grinding wood, stone and ebonite tubes to a wall thickness of only 0.7 mm while maintaining the mechanical integrity of the parts.
With five international patent applications pending we proudly rely on a network of the most renowned suppliers across the globe to bring our product to the market in 2024.
THE CARNAULT SPIRIT
To us, humans, are astonishing, driven by aesthetics and curiosity. We have built pyramids, managed our way through the Middle Ages and landed on the moon in 1969. Our journey does not end here, as we stand on the shoulders of giants and carry passion and innovation to the next generation. For Carnault, this means, as long as our company exists we won't stop innovating and perfecting our cigarette by further pushing its technical finesse and enhancing its flavors.
