How Is the IQOS Vaping Device in Japan?
Angelababy’s photos sparked buzz online, and sharp-eyed users noticed she was using IQOS, the stylish vaping device popular in Japan and across Asia.
few days agoAngelababyThese two photos caused a stir on the Internet. To be honest,babyThe intoxicated expression of smoking is indeed a bit...
However, some sharp-eyed netizens immediately pointed out that peoplebabyThat's not an ordinary cigarette.
Exactly,BabyThis e-cigarette is the protagonist today, a high-profile weapon that is popular in Japan and even Asia---IQOSElectronically heated cigarettes!
Absolutely popular product, the terminator of paper cigarettes!
Ginza, a famous high-end shopping destination in Tokyo, Japan, is also availableIQOSfranchise store.
IQOS is an e-cigarette developed by Philip Morris of the United States, the world's largest tobacco company, with an investment of US$2 billion. It is different from ordinary water-mist e-cigarettes (the disadvantage of this type of cigarettes is that they have no real smoke feeling at all) and more different from traditional burning paper cigarettes.
Traditional paper cigarettes produce nicotine by burning tobacco at temperatures above 800 degrees, and contain harmful carcinogens such as tar and carbon monoxide. People smoke mainly by absorbing the nicotine in tobacco and some of the aroma of tobacco itself to achieve satisfaction. The main components harmful to health come from tar and other substances produced by combustion.
IQOS uses baking to heat, heating the temperature to 350 degrees through a heating rod chip and evaporating smoke.
There is no smell at all, so you don't have to worry about the surroundingsProblems such as the smell of smoke in the crowd and the mouth, hands, and clothes after smoking.
Therefore, the tar content produced by IQOS cigarettes is very, very low, which is almost negligible compared with normal cigarette burning.Harmful carcinogens are reduced by 90%, but they have the same taste and throat-cracking feeling as real smoke, completely replacing real smoke!
The overall design of IQOS comes from Switzerland, among which the heating rod is developed in Germany, the charging box comes from Italy, the charger comes from Shenzhen, China, and was finally assembled in Malaysia. Because Japan is the first country in Asia to sell IQOS and is highly well-known, many people mistakenly think it is IQOS produced in Japan!

There are currently two types of IQOS e-cigarettes on the market, including the 2.4plus upgrade that was launched only in March this year. The two at the front are new models and the rear are old models.
The method of use is slightly different. The following mainly takes the old model as an example and compares the two models.
Press and hold the power button of the host to turn on the machine first. You will see 1-4 small green lights (one light on represents 25% of the power). As long as more than 1 light is on, you can use it. The new model has abolished the green identification light and replaced it with a white LED light for higher recognition.
The top is the new model and the bottom is the old model.
The main cover connection has been newly revised and adjusted. Opening and closing are more flexible.
The top is the new model and the bottom is the old model.
Insert the heating rod into the mainframe for automatic charging. When the green circle above the mainframe flashes, it means charging is underway. After a few minutes, the green circle (white LED light for the 2.4plus model) stops flashing, which means charging is complete and you can take it out and use it.
Take out the charged heating rod, insert the cigarette cartridge into the heating rod, and insert it straight into it. Do not rotate or insert it backwards. Special attention: When inserting and pulling out the cigarette cartridge, please do not rotate to avoid twisting the IQOS heating plate (this is caused by human damage).
After the cigarette bomb is inserted, press and hold the button on the heating rod for 1-2 seconds, and the green light flashes to let go. Then you can smoke when the green light is always on. Here, the 2.4plus model has also abolished the green identification light and replaced it with a white LED light.
The top is the new model and the bottom is the old model.
There is no need to operate when smoking. After about 15 consecutive inhalations, the green light turns to an orange light, which means that the inhalations will be completed immediately. The new 2.4plus has a big change here, changing from a lighting reminder to a vibration reminder. After the reminder, about 1 puff of cigarette ends.
Then pull the cap of the heating rod straight up, then take out the cigarette cartridge, and put the heating rod back into the main machine again, and so on! (Note: Be sure to pull off your hat first before taking out the cigarette bomb.)
I wonder if IQOS cannot be used continuously due to health considerations. A few minutes are needed between each cigarette to recharge the heating rod. The new 2.4plus heating rod charging time has been shortened by nearly 20%.
The picture below shows the new model on the left and the old model on the right.
The length of the IQOS special cigarette is 4.5CM, which is only nearly half the length of an ordinary cigarette. There are currently 6 flavors of cigarettes used in Japan, all of which are Marlboro cigarettes. The contents of the cigarette bomb should also be tobacco, but the processing technology is different from ordinary cigarettes. It is dedicated to IQOS. The box states that it cannot be burned and can only be heated.
The six flavors are: original, light original; mint, light mint; nut, blueberry mint. The last two flavors are new flavors introduced this year.
What I have to say is thatIQOSThe company is such a scheming bitch. It launches a limited edition for nothing, and it is obtained through lottery. It is really difficult for all my overseas purchasing partners!
Especially pink, it is said that the auction price has reached more than 120,000 yen on some private websites.
