IQOS - regular electronic device for heating tobacco, which will soon become a relatively inexpensive and convenient replacement for cigarettes.

IQOS version 2.4+ and 3 consist of two components:

• A holder (a special container into which a stick of tobacco (cigarette) is inserted), where there is a special ceramic blade that serves as a heating element for the cigarette.
• Charger.

The new version of the multi 3 is more advanced and is both an electronic holder and a charger that lasts up to 10 smoking uses without additional charge.

Many people are wondering how the new IQOS differs from cheap cigarettes, why it is better and what harm it does. More details

Learn more about IQOS

First you need to understand how IQOS works.

When a tobacco stick is inserted into the device, a heating blade penetrates the compressed tobacco and heats it to a maximum temperature of 350. This is quite enough for an aerosol filled with tobacco aroma to begin to evaporate from the stick.

That is why it is believed that IQOS is alternative way for smokers over 18 years of age who care about the comfort of themselves and others, and also value high health and cleanliness.

Next, you need to consider the benefits. In addition to the fact that sticks for IQOS can be purchased almost anywhere at a cheap price, our website often has promotions and other types of offers that significantly reduce the already inexpensive cost of sticks.

However, in addition to this, the advantages of the tobacco heating system from the world famous company Phillip Morris include:

• No cigarette smell on clothes, body, hair. Agree, this is quite nice, especially for girls.
• No smoke or ash.
• Convenient and easy to use
• Possibility of smoking at home, in the car, in public places. Why? Because the smoke is not harmful, unobtrusive and does not cause disgust.
• Cheapness in buying sticks.
• Originality of forms and simplicity of design.
• The device does not look cheap.
• The charge lasts for several days (versions 2.4+ and 3), and the multi version 3 lasts up to 10 times of continuous smoking.
• It smokes like a regular cigarette.

IQOS is considered as a unique electronic tobacco heating system; accordingly, there is no combustion process (like a cigarette), but heating occurs, which is less harmful to the body, since there is no tar production.

Many people who order IQOS online are interested in the question: how to use the device while smoking, where the price is cheaper, whether a promotion is possible for the holidays.

The electronic tobacco heating system begins its work with the following. You need to insert the stick (like a small cigarette) into the holder (the manufacturer strongly recommends not turning the stick). Next you need to press the button and wait a few seconds. Approximately 30 seconds before the end of smoking, IQOS itself will warn you that it will turn off soon.

After that, carefully pulling out the top of the holder, you need to pull out the stick and put the IQOS in the charging box. The IQOS holder charges in a maximum of 4 minutes 10 seconds (version 2.4+) and is ready for the next use.

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 clients who 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 in 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 passed a whole series successful trials 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. New item received widespread thanks to the ability to choose 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 your charger with you so that you can convenient location recharge your cigarette. 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, how simple cigarettes. As clinical trials have shown, the content harmful substances in pairs when smoking e-cigarettes is 90% less. Also, using iQOS allows you to solve the problem 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.

Abroad, Philip Morris International operates a little differently than in Russia, presenting other lines of flavors to the general public. If in our country, as of May 2017, only 2 flavors of Parliament sticks are available, then other brands are being promoted around the world for IQOS. HEETS sticks for iQOS are a European brand, while Marlboro sticks are sold in Japan. As residents of Armenia write on Facebook, both HEETS and Parliament are available to them. In this article we will compare sticks for IQOS from various countries peace.

Different countries - different sticks

IN different countries PMI promotes different brands of sticks for iQOS. HEETS sticks are sold in England for £8 a pack. This is about 600 rubles at the current exchange rate. Three varieties of tobacco sticks were released on the Swiss market - Rich, Light and Menthol. They are also called Yellow Label, Amber Label and Turquoise Label, based on the color of the labels.

Japanese buyer about ParlIament sticks

For the Japanese, the native stick brand is Marlboro. Parliament sticks are a novelty for this market and therefore it is interesting to hear the Japanese opinion about sticks for Russian market. Translation from .

-----------------

Let's talk about new tobacco sticks. I immediately decided to try them. The pack looks unusual, but comfortable. Simple and cool. The silver insert in the package is different from the insert in the Marlboro pack. The Parliament pack looks more elegant and feels denser.

The insert is decorated with Parliament logos and resembles gift paper.

Of course, this part of the cigarette pack is immediately thrown away, but such care appearance the product touches.

Opening the package, we immediately see characteristic feature Parliament sticks - filter mouthpiece.

Filter mouthpiece. What is it?

If you take a puff of pure tobacco while smoking, without any filtering agents, its taste will be very bitter and disastrously tasteless. When smoking iQOS sticks, a certain interval is maintained, puffs are taken slowly, and even with an increase in the combustion temperature, the taste of tobacco does not deteriorate. Parlament sticks have a filter mouthpiece - a small space is left in its upper part to help cool the smoke.

They say that if you smoke skillfully, on the filter Parliament cigarettes a sun logo may appear, although this, of course, does not apply to tobacco sticks for iQOS.

Parliament Blue sticks for iQOS

Parliament Blue sticks do not contain menthol. This is carefully refined tobacco. In short, they are a pleasure to smoke. Personally, these sticks suit me better than the regular Marlboro Smooth Regular. The taste is more reminiscent of Lark Red than Parliament. They don’t hurt your throat like other iQOS sticks. I usually smoke menthol cigarettes, but I liked these sticks. Very similar to regular cigarettes.

Parliament Fresh sticks for iQOS

I have always preferred menthol cigarettes to regular ones. I like their taste. Parliament Fresh, in comparison with menthol Marlboros for iQOS, is not very rich, although it has a strong mint flavor. At the same time, the taste is cleaner and more pleasant than Marlboro Mint. I think if Parliament Fresh goes on wide sale, I will give them preference.

Cons of iQOS

What are the disadvantages of iQOS cigarettes? Of course, there are always pros and cons. We will list them right away to avoid disappointment after the purchase.

1. They are subject to the same restrictions as regular tobacco.
2. You won't be able to smoke one cigarette after another.

Despite innovative technologies, iQOS is tobacco cigarettes. When smoking iQOS, you should follow the same rules as when smoking regular cigarettes. For example, they cannot be smoked on the street, sold to minors, or smoked in places not intended for this purpose (for example, in a restaurant or outside a smoking room).

However, in some countries, in lately The campaign to allow smoking iQOS cigarettes in cafes and restaurants is gaining momentum. So there is hope.

You won't be able to smoke one cigarette after another

This is true. Your iQOS device must be charged before each use. This takes 2-3 minutes. But sometimes it’s so hard to wait! Of course, continuous smoking is very harmful to health, but for some, the inability to smoke several cigarettes in a row can be a huge disappointment. Although no one forbids buying two devices at once...

iQOS cigarettes are larger and heavier than regular cigarettes

The weight of an iQOS cigarette is about 120 grams. In principle, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter weigh the same, so a slight increase in weight goes unnoticed.

Customer Reviews

A survey was conducted on one of the Japanese sites and here are some reviews:

I work with people and am pleased with the odor reduction tobacco smoke

Before switching to iQOS, I didn't care much about other people's feelings or the smell that lingers after a cigarette break. But at least one in ten clients paid attention to the smell of tobacco smoke. After I started using iQOS, people stopped telling me about the bad smell.

Then I was engaged in business, but now I notice that the problem with the unpleasant smell of smoke has been solved.

28-year-old man, works at a school.

You can leisurely smoke on the sofa, and your breath doesn’t smell

Previously, I could only smoke under the kitchen hood. Now I can calmly enjoy iQOS cigarette with legs stretched out on the sofa. And after iQOS there is no bad breath.

33 year old woman - housewife

If you use an iQOS device, you will no longer need hoods and fans. This is really true!

There are also negative reviews.

Takes too long to charge after use

It would be much better if it were on charge iQOS devices it took one minute. This problem will be solved by purchasing two devices at once. I think that's what I'll do.

Yes, not being able to smoke several cigarettes in a row is still frowned upon. I want to smoke more often, I want to smoke more!

4taste of HEETS Sticks for iQOS

What influences the choice of cigarettes? Of course, their taste. Each smoker prefers a certain brand and type of cigarettes, choosing them according to his own preferences.

The iQOS manufacturer thought about this too. iQOS has 3 flavors in Russia. The cost of packing sticks is 130 - 150 rubles as of October 2018 when purchased in packs and from 100 rubles when purchased in blocks. A pack of regular Parliament or Kent cigarettes costs the same.

The tobacco company Philip Morris offers the following flavors of HEETS sticks:

• Amber Label - rich taste, strong aftertaste. Not for everyone.
• Yellow Label - classic cigarette taste. To a first approximation, it is similar to Parliament Blue sticks, which are no longer produced for the Russian market.
• Purple Label - pleasant berry taste, slightly refreshing. Not cloying and soft.
• Turquoise Label - strong menthol scent.

Read more about the sticks and flavors in our HEETS review.

Where to buy iQOS and current price

Thinking where to buy? There are 4 main options:

• iQOS brand store
• Philip Morris online store
• Third party online store
• Classic retail

All of them are approximately the same in price - taking into account the coupon discount (promotional codes for purchase), the cost of the device and stick block will be approximately 3,500 rubles.

Of course, it would be preferable to buy iQOS in a company store, which are now present in major cities countries: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Rostov-on-Don, Vladivostok, etc.

However, the size of our country is very large and not everyone has the opportunity to visit the iQOS showroom, and here the company store at iQOS.ru comes to the rescue, where both the device itself and sticks for it are available.

Currently, third-party online stores have already appeared on the Internet offering iQOS for sale, but we cannot recommend them, since there are no guarantees there. It’s good if the device is simply imported from another country and is original. Another question is that you can easily run into a fake and then you will not only lose money, but also risk your health.

How to use iQOS?

So, you bought an iQOS device. All that remains is to understand the instructions. Don't worry - iQOS is very easy to use!

4 simple steps:

1. Remove the holder from the iQOS device and insert the stick.
2. Press the power button on the holder and hold it until the light starts flashing green.
3. Smoke! You have 14 puffs or 6 minutes, after which the device turns off. You have to get used to it and it's not difficult.
4. When the session is over, pull the cap up and then remove the stick from the holder. Insert the holder into the charger.

Cleaning methods

Has your iQOS changed your taste? Apparently it's time to clean it. Prompt cleaning of the device is extremely important. It improves the taste of tobacco sticks, removes the bitter taste and burnt smell.

It's amazing how cleaning the device can have such an impact on the taste of the tobacco. Cleaning it is not difficult - I do it at least once a month while sitting in front of the TV.

Cleaning iQOS with special brushes and cotton applicators

Remove the cap from the device

Use a special brush (included) to clean the iQOS holder

Then wipe it with a regular cotton swab.

Another undoubted advantage of iQOS is that if you haven’t cleaned it completely, you can see it with the naked eye.

Philip Morris takes it seriously

We've already learned a lot about iQOS: how to use it, where to buy it, how to clean it... Now let's talk about something else.

The release of the iQOS device created a lot of buzz. But Philip Morris decided not to stop there and in February 2017 announced its serious intentions.

The company's press service released an official statement saying that "Philip Morris's mission is to build a smoke-free world."

Let's think about it. “Philip Morris International is a leading international tobacco manufacturing company. And now the tobacco giant declares: “We will get rid of smoke!” A serious statement.

Are you worried about the difference between the old and new models iQOS?

On March 2, 2017, the release of a new iQOS model was announced. The performance of the new model has been increased - the heating element has been improved, charging time has been reduced by an average of 20%. Thus, functional changes touched internal structure devices. It should be emphasized that the sticks for the old and new models are compatible, and there is no need to buy a new device.

difference between iQOS, Ploom Tech and Glo

iQOS did not occupy the niche of tobacco heating systems for long in splendid isolation. Already in December 2016, they appeared on the Japanese market electronic cigarettes Ploom TECH and Glo.

The difference is that iQOS was developed by Philip Morris, Ploom Tech was developed by Japan Tobacco Inc., and Glo is a product of British American Tobacco. All these cigarettes vary in price, flavors and configurations. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. We will look at them in the following articles.
