How to Fix Low Vapor or No Vapor from Kuanzhai Tobacco Sticks
If Kuanzhai or MC tobacco sticks produce weak or inconsistent vapor, the issue may not be your IQOS. This guide shares a simple fix to improve performance and avoid wasting your tobacco sticks.
Most people have probably seen domestic tobacco sticks before. The two most well-known are Sichuan Tobacco’s Kuanzhai and Yunnan Tobacco’s MC. Many users online have reported that the vapor production from domestic tobacco sticks is sometimes low and sometimes strong. To help everyone avoid wasting the tobacco sticks they already have, here is one method that can solve the problem. Of course, many people will say it is a device issue—for example, that the heating blade temperature of an IQOS device is not as high as that of some domestic devices, so the vapor output is lower. There is some truth to that, but it is not realistic to buy a separate device just for one pack of tobacco sticks. So next, just follow my method, and it should work.
Open up the tobacco stick that is producing little or no vapor, and place it in the refrigerator compartment for 15 minutes. If you are using an IQOS device, the vapor production should increase by at least one-third.
I can’t really explain the exact principle, since I’m not a technician from China Tobacco. My personal guess is that the tar content in domestic tobacco sticks is lower than in the Marlboro series for IQOS. Because the tobacco leaves have lower tar content, they produce less vapor when heated. After being placed in the refrigerator, the tobacco stick may absorb a bit more moisture, and when heated, the vapor output increases. This may not be completely accurate, but for now it seems like the most reasonable explanation.
