What’s the Length of HEETS?
HEETS are made to last for the duration of a single session, which is equivalent to six minutes or fourteen puffs, depending on which comes first. This is meant to be about the same amount of time as smoking a cigarette. There is leeway because these numbers are approximations based on the typical user! Try taking fewer, gentler puffs to extend your experience; larger, forceful puffs may quickly deplete your HEETS supply.
It may take some getting used to for some users to ‘toke’ on their IQOS in a way that is similar to using a vape or other heated tobacco system. Our customers discover that they can adjust how they inhale to get the most out of each HEET Stick over time, or even after just a few uses.
Are HEETS Odorous?
It’s challenging to respond to this query! HEETS smell, just like vapes, though not as much as a cigarette does. Smoke from cigarettes has a strong, lingering odor that is characteristic of burning materials. HEETS have a strong tobacco scent that quickly fades because they are a vapour.
Can HEETS Be Smoked Like Regular Cigarettes?
HEETS cannot be smoked like cigarettes, despite the fact that they may look like cigarettes and even contain actual tobacco. This is so that the tobacco in HEETS, which combines natural fibers, guar, and vegetable glycerin for an aerosol-focused experience, can specifically work with heat-not-burn technology.
Is it possible to repurpose sheets?
No, HEETS are meant to be used just once. We strongly advise against reusing HEETS because the IQOS device heats your stick to extremely high temperatures, which will significantly degrade the tobacco after just one session. Nevertheless, the sticks themselves won’t burn.
Technical Specifics
We address some of the more complex queries about HEETS in this section.
What is HEETS’s nicotine content?
Each HEETS Stick has 0.5 mg of nicotine, according to IQOS. This is comparable to a cigarette in terms of price. This figure is based on the amount of aerosol that is produced, not the substance of the sticks themselves, and is calculated using an ISO testing regime, which is an industry standard in the EU and UK. Bewildered? Let’s explore this a little more.
According to IQOS, each raw stick contains 4.6 mg of nicotine total; however, not all of this is absorbed during the IQOS experience. The 0.5 mg amount is derived from emissions, or the vapour that each stick emits, and it is typically much less than the nicotine content of the raw tobacco before it is heated. Compared to the vapour produced by heating tobacco using an IQOS, the smoke produced by burning tobacco contains a significantly higher amount of nicotine.
Is using HEETS preferable to smoking?
Similar to vaping, IQOS heated tobacco is only intended for adult smokers. If a user does not currently smoke, we advise them not to use these devices. Nevertheless, IQOS emits 98% less carbon monoxide (CO) and 95% fewer dangerous chemicals than cigarettes. These numbers do not indicate lower risk; there is still risk associated with quitting smoking.
Financially speaking, HEETS packs are significantly less expensive than regular cigarettes; they are typically less than half the price of a pack of 20. By switching, most users could save up to £500 annually. Should you smoke heavily, that amount might be more like £2,000!
Are HEETS tar-filled?
Burning tobacco results in tar, which is an inevitable byproduct of the combustion process. When using IQOS, no tar is produced because HEETS do not burn.
How do HEETS get made?
The tobacco and filter sections are the two primary components of HEETS.
High-grade, carefully chosen tobaccos make up HEETS’s tobacco, which is then ground into an extremely fine powder and combined with a few other ingredients like natural fibers and VG (a substance found in vape juice). After that, the mixture is reconstituted into sheets, which are divided into smaller pieces and rolled to fit inside the HEETS that you buy.
Each HEETS Stick is composed of multiple filters, which are arranged as follows: a PLA filter, a hollow tube, and a filter at the end of the stick that resembles a regular cigarette. Each of these components aids in cooling the tobacco aerosol and eliminating any potentially dangerous substances from the vapor you breathe in.
