About Ston Ko Te Kaitao Kakara

Ka hoatu e Ston he okiokinga hauora me te mahara, hei whakakapi mo te kai paipa me te inu. Ka whakaingoatia te taputapu he manawa, he tohutoro mo te wheako hinengaro ahurei e whakaratohia ana e ia. Ahakoa he rite te hanganga ki te hikareti hiko, ma te whakatikatika i te rere o te hau me etahi atu mea, ka taea e koe te wheako i tetahi mea e tata ana ki te manawa hohonu. He taputapu tenei ki te huri i te okiokinga kino mai i te kai hikareti ki te hauora, hinengaro me te tinana.

Unique Properties
Ston provides you a healthy and mindful break, as an alternative to smoking and drinking.
The device is named BREATHER, as a reference to the unique mindful experience it provides. Although the structure is similar to an electronic cigarette, by adjusting the flow of air as well as other factors, you can experience something closer to a deep breath. This is the tool to change a harmful break with smoking cigarettes into a healthy one for mentally and physically.
Production Technology
It took so much time for the appearance of the product. Ston is a stone-shaped, organically curved, stone-moulded device made of a one-piece aluminium enclosure thanks to a technique called metal squeezing. It is a unique and difficult technique that allows the aluminium to be squeezed to expand inward beyond 180 degrees, with no parting lines. This is all thanks to the high-level production control technology that Japan has developed.
Inspiration
Ston is a healthy inhalation device that allows you to inhale caffeine and GABA. The lighting pattern also helps regulate the rhythm of the breath. Similar to meditation in Zen or yoga, it helps the mind find balance and be calm, peacefully breathing in and out. Smoking is not only harmful to your body but also bad for the environment since you would have cigarette butts after you smoked it. Ston offers a special experience that can never be had with a cigarette break.
