New IQOS tobacco heating system. What is iQOS and how to use it

The modern world does not stand still. New trends and tendencies are being created at breakneck speed to keep up with the times. It is difficult for corporations today, given the incredible turnover in the industry healthy image life. Now if "Cola" - then the "light" version, if flour products- gluten-free, if the protein is soy, if it is cigarettes, then without toxic tars that poison our lungs and lead to cancer.

Today, many sophisticated users of electronic cigarettes and vapers have liked new product Swiss company, which we will talk about in this article. Its tactile and taste benefits have captivated many vapers and nicotine addicts. Once you try the effects of this product on yourself, you can forever forget about the smoky cigarettes you are used to. New technologies are breaking through the barricades of age-old traditions. But who said that this is bad?

Gadget for heating tobacco - IQOS cigarettes

So, the product of Philip Morris International, “an innovation from Swiss scientists,” is a simple, but truly ingenious device that has been able to positively impact the lives of many people. We will consider in detail the characteristics and components of IQOS, reviews and recommendations for use.

The gadget's delivery package is called IQOS Kit, it contains everything necessary elements to get started: holder, pocket charger, cleaning kit, power supply, USB/microUSB cable and, of course, instructions for IQOS.

IQOS is a device for heating tobacco using electricity; it is used in conjunction with special tobacco sticks, which must be purchased separately, as is the case with regular cigarettes. Sticks for IQOS have the shape of small cigarettes with a filter, but the tobacco inside the wrapper is not cut into strips and stuffed into paper wrappers, but is longitudinally oriented and laid in strips along the axis of the stick. In fact, there is a similarity to a paper-wrapped cigar. The holder is made of high quality plastic with a matte surface.

The design of the holder consists of the following set: the main body with contacts at the bottom, in which the battery is installed, a steel tube with a ceramic heating element inside and a removable cap. The pocket charger, like the product itself, is made of white plastic. Outwardly, it resembles a PowerBank with an opening lid; inside there is a slot for a holder. The lid is locked in the closed position with a latch and opens by pressing a special button.

The end of the charger has indicators for the charging holder and the charger itself, as well as indicators for the self-cleaning mode of the heating element. Below there are two buttons - a button to start the manual cleaning mode and the main power button. On the other side of the charging block for IQOS cigarettes there are factory markings, information about the manufacturer and model of the device. In order to charge the gadget's battery, you need to use the microUSB connector, which is located on the bottom of the case.

Heating system tobacco IQOS:

1. First, you need to charge the holder by placing it in the charger.

2. Before you start using it, you need to charge the device using an adapter and cable. Very important: insert the holder with the button facing forward towards the charger indicator panel. In fact, it is simply impossible to insert the holder incorrectly into the docking station. Therefore, it is not worth making an effort if, upon entering, he does not go inside immediately. Charging status is shown on the top indicator. It blinks while the holder is charging and goes off when it is charged. At this moment, the charger goes into standby mode.

3. Open the charger cover and remove the holder from the dock.

5. Check the readiness status using the green indicator light.

6. The tobacco stick must be inserted down into the hole in the tobacco part receiver, simply pressing on it in the filter area.

7. Press and hold the button until the LED starts flashing and release. The heating process of the ceramic blade has started, which lasts about 20 seconds. When the device is ready for use, this will be indicated by the indicator, which will light up with a constantly flashing green light.

Actually, according to reviews, IQOS are very similar to regular cigarettes: you need to pull it into yourself. The process is the same, but the result is much nicer.

The most important difference between IQOS and traditional cigarettes is that the tobacco and the paper wrapper around it do not burn. If in a regular cigarette tobacco smoldering occurs at a temperature of 800 degrees, then in the IQOS tobacco heating system it is heated by a ceramic blade to a temperature of 300 degrees. The liquid evaporates and the user inhales vapor with a tobacco flavor and, of course, nicotine. It is worth noting that the concentration of tars and harmful substances is reduced by almost 95-98 percent, that is, the harmful effect is almost eliminated, and only a pleasant feeling from using IQOS remains. Because of this, doctors’ reviews of the tobacco smoking system are only positive.

What do they say about her? ordinary people? System IQOS reviews has the following.

Users note that relatively side effects the situation is much more pleasant than when smoking cigarettes: there is no unpleasant tobacco smoke, there is still some smell when using IQOS, but it rather resembles the subtle aroma of fresh tobacco. There is no ash at all, this is due to the fact that the tobacco does not burn. In addition, using IQOS sticks does not produce such a strong unpleasant odor as cigarette butts.

Bonuses from using an IQOS device

• Your hands don't stink.
• There is no characteristic odor from the mouth (and if you use a menthol stick, your breath takes on a pleasant menthol smell).
• You can safely use IQOS while indoors or in a car. There is no need to worry about residual odors and ash.

Quit smoking with IQOS

The manufacturer categorically states that IQOS is not a way to quit smoking cigarettes. But, according to many users, having started smoking at school age, they became addicted to the ritual itself, which indicates emotional rather than physiological dependence.

As the experience of smokers shows, after a month of using IQOS, you no longer want to smoke regular cigarettes; the smell makes you gag. Cigarette smoke becomes really disgusting for them, and they stop going back to regular cigarettes. Thus, tobacco addiction becomes more pleasant and less harmful, because the lungs are freed from constant exposure to harmful tars. Reviews from doctors confirm this.

How you feel after using IQOS: harm and benefit

A week after using IQOS, users notice that their throat wheezing, characteristic of smoking cigarettes, disappears. Tars and harmful small particles enter smokers' lungs and settle there. Thus, there is hope that with the help of IQOS you can cleanse your lungs.

Taste qualities of tobacco when using IQOS

After 3-4 sticks, smokers notice that this type of smoking is much better if flavored with a cup of good coffee. In total, the manufacturer offers two flavors - traditional and menthol. Menthol, as statistics show, is in great demand.

IQOS price: sticks or cigarettes

As a rule, the percentage of tobacco in a tobacco stick is slightly less than in regular cigarettes Oh. Like a cigarette pack, there are 20 of them in a package. It is not recommended to smoke more sticks than the number of regular cigarettes smoked. That is, complete replacement occurs. Thus, the price of IQOS sticks will not differ from the cost of ordinary cigarettes, for example, “Parliament”. In total, the cost of the smoking kit will be about 3,500 rubles.

It is recommended to clean the holder using the supplied kit. If you do not adhere to this recommendation, you may notice the appearance of a bitter taste while smoking. The gadget auto-cleanses from time to time. The “sun” indicator will tell you about this. Like all electronic devices, IQOS can freeze - it can crash approximately once every three weeks. In this case, the ability to reboot the device can help. Resetting the settings occurs by holding two main buttons - power and self-cleaning. It is necessary to insert the tobacco stick all the way into the receiver of the holder, because this is what will provide a richer taste.

Flaws

The disadvantages of this electronic device Users may attribute weak indicator LEDs - it is sometimes very difficult to see what is happening with the device in inconvenient lighting. In addition, the charger latch often fails, so it is recommended to close the lid by holding down the lock button while closing it.

Progress

The world does not stand still, nor do human passions. Those who until recently thought that their habits could no longer be changed leave positive reviews about the IQOS system. Many people say that IQOS really helps reduce exposure to harmful chemicals on the body, and are surprised to notice that they are irrevocably involved in the process of smoking tobacco sticks.

No matter how sad it may be, today in our country there are a lot of people who suffer from bad habits. Smoking is no exception. Thanks to the fact that modern technologies do not stand still, the electronic cigarette was invented. According to many experts and smokers, it does not cause severe harm body. But or not, no one knows the exact answer.

Philip Morris previously specialized exclusively in selling tobacco products. However, in the last couple of years it has begun to explore new market segments. Having assessed all the prospects for the development of the vape industry, the company threw all its efforts into creating a new product. It was the Philip Morris Iqos electronic cigarette. This is how a new direction in the tobacco industry began to develop.

Features of IQOS cigarettes

At all times, tobacco companies actively competed with each other. When one organization decides to launch a new product, it gives it the opportunity to reach a fundamentally new level. It also allows you to attract potential customers who have previously used products from another brand. At some point, such competition develops into a real struggle. The tobacco giants themselves have to actively work with government agencies different countries. Many companies would benefit if electronic products were given the same status as conventional products.

IQOS cigarettes are unique products that were created on the basis of a special patented technology. All company developments have been tested and approved by the Ministry of Health Protection. This is what made e-vapors a sought-after product.

Marketing strategy

Thanks to a well-chosen product promotion strategy, Philip Morris cigarettes have received worldwide recognition. All products are available in several modifications. The range of flavors is also limited and can hardly be called luxurious. It features a refreshing menthol aroma and the rich scent of high-quality tobacco.

Popular models

You can most often find IQOS cigarettes on sale in several of the most popular models. Before the product appeared on the market, it was actively tested in Japan and Italy. In addition, electronic ones have undergone a number of successful tests in other European countries. They recently entered the Russian market and are gradually gaining popularity.

Solaris

The Solaris model is very popular among all Philip Morris electronic cigarettes. The novelty has become widespread due to the ability to select the nicotine concentration. Distinctive feature Solaris is the use of a special quad-ventilation system. It consists of four holes with a PONS cartomizer.

Using this design makes the puff more enjoyable. Otherwise, this model is very similar to the first generation devices. Another advantage of Solaris is its battery usage. It can be easily recharged in just 10 minutes. In addition to the cigarette, USB charging is offered.

iQOS

Another model that has made a lot of noise in the tobacco industry is the iQOS electronic cigarette. The product consists of two main components: the body and the cartridge. All electronic components are housed in the device body. The operating principle of the gadget is based on the use of a special cartridge.

When its resource runs out, the device will report this using a signal. It is worth noting that the manufacturer does not focus on sales of the device itself, but on the sale of replacement cartridges for it. In appearance, the cartridge looks more like a simple cigarette.

What is contained inside the replacement component of an IQOS cigarette? The composition of the cartridge is crushed tobacco of the highest quality, impregnated with a special glycerin composition. When you press a special button, a needle-shaped heating element begins to act on the composition inside the cartridge. As a result, it begins to slowly smolder. According to the manufacturer, the heating needle consists of platinum and gold coated with ceramic. The use of this technology allows you to make the smoking process more aesthetically pleasing.

There is no unpleasant smell left after IQOS. To charge the device, you must use a special pencil case. Outwardly, it looks more like a cigarette pack. The device itself is quite compact. You can easily take a charger with you to recharge your cigarette anywhere. How much does IQOS cost? The price ranges from 70 to 80 euros. You will have to pay extra for a replacement cartridge.

A pack costs approximately 350 rubles. One cartridge can be compared to a traditional cigarette. Among e-cigarette enthusiasts, Philip Morris iQOS quickly gained popularity. However, in our country such a device cannot yet be called affordable. Using e-cigarettes comes with certain costs. But it is worth considering that the harm of IQOS is much less than that of traditional cigarettes.

iQOS: detailed description

Electronic cigarettes are gradually becoming a recognized hit. But how harmful are IQOS? Reviews from doctors confirm that smoking such cigarettes causes less harm to the smoker’s health than smoking traditional ones.

At the beginning of 2017, Japan decided to exclude iQOS from the register of regular tobacco cigarettes. The public widely supported this project. IQOS does not cause discomfort to others. Their popularity is growing every year. The presentation of the latest iQOS 2.4 model took place in the spring of 2017.

Advantages of IQOS electronic cigarettes

Traditional cigarettes are tobacco leaves rolled in a certain way. They are set on fire and the nicotine contained in the smoke is inhaled. IQOS cigarettes simply heat the tobacco. As a result, they emit not smoke, but water vapor containing nicotine. That is why it is considered not harmful to health. Therefore, it is better to use the IQOS model. Reviews from doctors confirm this. Many smokers are giving up traditional cigarettes in favor of iQOS.

Technology

What is the vapor in IQOS cigarettes? How does it work? Thanks to the use of special technology, the tobacco in iQOS cigarettes does not burn, but simply heats up. No ash is formed. Plus, the use of such cigarettes significantly reduces the risk of fires. Vapor from iQOS cigarettes dissipates quickly. It does not eat into clothes. You can even safely smoke in the workplace, if, of course, your colleagues do not object. Many are also pleased that iQOS can be smoked at home in front of the TV. Smoke and bad smell will no longer disturb your household.

Environmental friendliness

Experts have proven that iQOS causes less harm to health and environment than regular cigarettes. Clinical trials have shown that the content of harmful substances in vapor when smoking electronic cigarettes is 90% less. Also, using iQOS allows you to solve the problem of passive smoking. Smoking IQOS cigarettes indoors does not affect the health of others in any way. Reviews from doctors testify to this. Today there are only two flavors in the iQOS cigarette line. However, over time their number will increase. The only drawback of IQOS is the price. She continues to be quite high.

iQOS also has some disadvantages. Despite the use of innovative technologies, they still remain simple tobacco cigarettes. When smoking them, the same standards should be observed. The iQOS device must be charged before each use. Sometimes this is not very convenient to do. iQOS is larger than traditional cigarettes.

The marketing confrontation between Philip Morris and British American Tobacco in Russia has reached comical limits. Judge for yourself. IQOS is an “innovative” tobacco heating system, glo is a “revolutionary” one. The name “IQOS” is written in all capitals, “glo” - only in lowercase. Sticks for IQOS are short and thick, for glo they are long and thin. And everything else is different for them.

Design

Iqos looks expensive and rich. This is a huge sausage covered with matte paint. On the sides there is a glossy panel. The premium quality of the product is evident in everything. Let's say that the official website sells multi-colored caps for the holder - “luxurious blue”, “passionate red”, “marvelous turquoise” and further down the list. Moreover, the second version of the device is sold with gold inserts by default.

glo is much less pretentious. British American Tobacco has not (yet?) built around the device a picture of 30-year-old businessmen in smart suits consuming an exclusive product in between a glass of champagne and a million-dollar deal. glo is a device for people. Even the website says - glo - “a way of consuming tobacco that we think you will like.” They think so, you know.

Iqos, for all its coolness, looks much worse than the simple aluminum Glo. It's like some kind of Huawei and Apple: everything seems to be the same, but the latter are still better.

Convenience

Iqos consists of two parts - the battery pack and the holder. The first has a heating element and a small battery, and the second, de facto, simply acts as a charger. The user must remove the holder from the battery pack, insert the stick into the holder, press a button, smoke, and then put everything back.

There are at least five buttons on Iqos. One opens the battery cover to reveal the holder. The second includes the holder. The third turns off the battery pack - it’s unclear why. I still don’t understand what the fourth one is doing - and I don’t rule out the possibility that there are a couple more switches hidden somewhere. It is unclear why there is such an abundance of interface, given that nothing can be configured in the device.

There are also 5 LEDs. The first 4 indicate the charge level. The last one is about charging the holder (on - charging, no smoking, off - please).

glo is a much simpler thing. This is one device - inserted, pressed, smoked. The entire interface is hidden in one button - there you can turn it on and off, the charge level, overheating, and God knows what else.

Used Iqos sticks should be thrown into the trash: after use, the tobacco in them falls apart into small pieces. glo tires retain their integrity, remaining more or less the same as they were. This is an extra point for glo: their sticks can be put, so to speak, in your pocket - and Iqos must be carried to the trash can. And until you throw it away, you can’t smoke again.

Elegance

Iqos, no matter how much Philip Morris claims otherwise, is extremely inelegant. For example, cleaning: the kit includes a special dismountable thing. To use it, you need to pull out the holder, remove the cap from there, insert the heating element into one half of the cleaning thing, and the cap into the other. And if there is tobacco stuck in the holder, use a paperclip or something similar to remove it.

glo in this sense is the pinnacle of technical thought. Due to the fact that the stick is “gripped” by the heating element, a natural cleaning rod is included in the kit. Yes, when cleaning it is difficult to get rid of sexual associations (considering that there are two holes here - one in the front, larger, the second in the back, smaller). But this process is simple and stress-free, and the glo feels like it needs to be cleaned 5 times less often.

Similar to cigarettes

Iqos is disgusting. It stinks wildly, smells like plastic, and makes you want to cough and spit. And that’s great: that’s exactly how I perceive the tobacco experience. You stand, spit, suffer - and smoke.

glo is much less similar to cigarettes. It feels like a “one-off” - there is something like tobacco, but it’s far from your favorite brand.

The sticks for both systems are equally terrible. Both Philip Morris and BAT chose "locomotive" brands - Parliament and Kent respectively. Both have “regular” and “mint” flavors - glo also has “orange”. Everyone is damaged. Of course, I don’t know how “real” tobacco is smoked - which is what both products are aimed at, according to advertising materials - but if so, humanity is deeply mistaken. It is impossible to use it without compelling reasons. You don’t even need to think about any subtle blend of Burley and Virginia - these are simple “frontal” tastes, without hints or half-notes.

Iqos tastes like cigarettes as much as possible. glo is rather some kind of intermediate stage between tobacco and, I don’t know, vaping. This is not to say that one is better than the other. But if you draw a path from cigarettes to, say, vaping, Iqos will appear earlier, glo - later.

Having started with vaping, most smokers come to the conclusion that the iqos tobacco heater is closest in its characteristics to a natural cigarette. Most experienced smokers, having initially tried vaping, eventually switch to the iqos electronic cigarette.

The Russian translation of this word means tobacco heating system. That is, in terms of its characteristics it is closer to natural cigarettes, which is important for psychological addiction to smoking.

In addition, electronic smoking vaping devices require maintenance, which is sometimes quite difficult for an inexperienced user, which cannot be said about IQOS. In any case, this new product is closest to natural cigarettes and is easier to use. In addition, it is much safer for health.

What is iqos electronic cigarette?

Many people looking for an alternative to natural tobacco are wondering: “iqos, what is it?” Can the device replace a cigarette? Yes, it's quite possible.

Iqos are electronic cigarettes, that is, they are smoked without the help of fire. The device does not burn, but heats tobacco, releasing the nicotine vapor needed by the smoker. The iqos smoking device was developed in the laboratories of Philip Morris to replace natural cigarettes. For Russian-speaking device users, it is pronounced the same way as it is read. The abbreviation iqos is rapidly gaining momentum and popularity, as it is considered safe, especially for those who have health problems.

How does the tobacco heating system work?

Iqos is a system powered by a heating element built into the device. Operating principle of this device pretty simple.

The iqos tobacco heating system makes it possible to release nicotine vapor into the stick (tobacco leaf 1 cm in size), which is why the mass does not enter the smoker’s body harmful products combustion. Thus, using the device is much safer than smoking smoke and the question “why do you need iqos” is automatically closed.

Key Benefits

As already noted, the main advantage smoking devices– this is relative safety, since heating occurs here to a safe condition. The technology of iqos electronic cigarettes does not use an aromatic mixture, as in vaping, but natural tobacco leaf, but only in a minimal volume. The technology makes it possible not to burn tobacco, but only to evaporate microscopic doses of nicotine from it for inhalation.

What are sticks and how to use them?

The composition of the “stick” is very similar to a regular cigarette. Inside it is a cut of a tobacco leaf 1cm long, soaked in glycerin. The remaining space is reserved for the placement of a complex filter.

It contains no impurities of xylene, toluene and benzene. The formation of smoke occurs due to the heating of the impregnations, since IQOS does not burn the stick, but only heats it, due to which smoldering occurs and not burning.

There is nothing complicated about using sticks. A few steps are all it takes to start smoking. You need to insert the stick into the holder, turn on the button on it and hold it until the blinking green light comes on. This signal indicates that the tobacco stick heating system is working and is ready for use. One refill is enough for 6 minutes of device operation. After finishing the operation of the device, you need to pull the cap up and remove the used stick from the holder.

The difference between iqos and regular cigarettes

The difference between IQOS and regular cigarettes lies in their health safety. Although the data from the tests proved that there is harm from “Heat Sticks”, since nicotine, although in much smaller volumes, is present here. Of course, there is a fundamental difference in the principle of heating tobacco in the iqos system. The device uses a microbattery heater rather than an open flame. In approaching the issue of preserving the health of oneself and passive smokers, it must be admitted that the new method of smoking using an IQOS device is still better in terms of safety. The principle “choose the lesser of two evils” applies here.

iqos device overview

In this section we will pay some attention to the iqos smoking device, brief overview its technical characteristics, as well as its pros and cons.

The uniqueness of the device allows you to only heat tobacco, but not burn it. In fact, it is just steam that quickly dissipates and is not absorbed into the fabrics of clothing and interiors.

It has already been scientifically proven that this type of cigarette. While maintaining the familiar taste and smell of tobacco, they are 90% safer and do not have a negative impact on others. Today the line of flavors in Russia has two types, in Japan there are 6.

Despite all the undeniable advantages of sticks, there are some disadvantages, which are as follows:

1. They have the same restrictions as tobacco cigarettes, that is, when using them, you must adhere to the same rules and restrictions that are accepted for regular cigarettes. You cannot smoke on the street or in public places. Selling them to minors is prohibited.
2. It is not possible to smoke several cigarettes in a row, because before each smoking you need to charge the device again, and this takes at least 2 minutes. It is worth recognizing that continuous smoking does not have the greatest impact on health. in the best possible way, but for some heavy smokers this ritual is mandatory. Although the solution in this case may be to use two or more devices.
3. The size and weight of the device is larger and more massive than usual. It is about 120 g. This is the weight of one regular pack of cigarettes with a lighter. That's why this indicator not critical.

The device is quite simple and consists of a heating element and a holder. A “hit stick” looks like half a regular cigarette, which is inserted into a holder and threaded onto a blade located inside and heated for 20 seconds.

Works iqos cigarette, thanks to the temperature of 300 degrees created by a microscopic battery. By the way, thanks to its simplicity and gaining increasing popularity in the world market, counterfeits began to appear, and therefore lovers of this type of smoking now have a problem with how to distinguish a counterfeit when purchasing and recognize counterfeit products that are practically no different from branded iqos. A counterfeit is recognized by these characteristics; the operation of the device must fully comply with them, as well as with the specified configuration.

The batteries must be present both in the charging container and in the holder. The holder battery is charged within 6 minutes. This charge is enough for 12 deep or 14 light puffs. For additional convenience of the smoker, a draft sensor is installed on the holder. When two puffs remain, the red indicator lights up. When you need to stop using the device, the stick is simply removed and the device turns off automatically within 6 minutes.

The device is quite ergonomic and convenient. The case is plastic. The lid opens with a button.

Equipment

Let us briefly dwell on the configuration of this electrical gadget with a description of the tobacco heating system. The kit includes:

1. Holder. This is a plastic case with a built-in battery, contacts removed from it, and a steel tube with a ceramic heated blade inside it and a removable cap.
2. Portable charger. When not in use, it is latched. There are two buttons here - power on manual cleaning and main. On the reverse side of the case there is information about the manufacturer and the model of the device itself. At the bottom of the case there is a microUSB connector for charging from the network.
3. Power adapter.
4. USB cable.
5. Cleaning kit.
6. User instructions.

The sticks themselves are purchased separately. Today, two types are used: tobacco-flavored and menthol. Externally similar to cut-off cigarettes. The composition contains tobacco leaves with glycerin impregnation.

What models are there?

Creating alternative offers for smokers is so financially attractive that the largest tobacco companies have taken up the task of solving this problem. Let's briefly consider what the most popular devices exist today, and what differences there are among them.

Today the most popular are:

1. Iqos from the largest manufacturer Philip Morris. Latest models and .
2. from British American Tobacco. The principle of operation is the same as in Iqos. The only difference is that here the barrel is used as a heater, into which the stick is inserted, and heating occurs not from the inside, like with IQOS, but from the outside. There are differences in design. The GLO body is made of high quality aluminum, a slide is used to insert the stick, and the charger port and cleaning hole are located at the bottom. The device is also easy to use and convenient. The usage time is slightly less, 3.5 minutes.
3. LOGIC PRO from the Japanese manufacturer Japan Tobacco International. This device is a classic vape cigarette with all the components. The device body consists of a metal tube with a battery, a mouthpiece and a holder with status indicators.

All of these devices boast a stylish design, excellent quality and assembly. All three devices can be charged from any USB port, from a car port to a fixed home network. They feature excellent functionality, including remote control from a tablet or smartphone.

Is it possible to quit smoking using iqos?

For many experienced smokers, this issue is quite acute, especially when the doctor makes another disappointing verdict regarding health. There is no clear answer to the question of whether IQOS will help you quit smoking. The fact is that only the person himself can solve this problem; everything depends on his desire, determination and will.

Relying only on some miracle pills, patches and even the iqos smoking device is, to say the least, naive. Smoking devices such as IQOS can reduce harmful action habit, reduce the amount of harmful substances inhaled when smoking, but it is unlikely to get rid of the habit itself. Although, if a person intends to quit smoking, it can act as an auxiliary means in achieving this goal.

Features of the taste of tobacco when using iqos

This is perhaps the most difficult section to compare, since there is no clear opinion on taste and color. Taste sensations When using a tobacco heater, iqos can be very different. It all depends on the taste buds of each individual smoker.

According to user reviews, at first the taste is reminiscent of smoking light cigarettes, but over time the feeling of fullness of taste comes. Just recently, three new flavors of IQOS sticks became available to customers: light, with the usual tobacco flavor, and menthol.

Ultimately, the decision to use one flavor or another rests with the users of the devices. The same as the question - to smoke using an iqos electronic device or not to smoke at all.
