Although IQOS still holds a market share far ahead of its competitors, China Tobacco is by no means lacking in resources. Its investment in the R&D of new heated tobacco products is gradually reshaping the market landscape, and IQOS’s leading position is not untouchable. Kuanzhai e-cigarettes currently have a strong fan base in China, so some people want to know: how many flavors do Kuanzhai cartridges come in, and which ones are good?
IQOS tobacco sticks
When Philip Morris first launched its landmark IQOS product, it put a great deal of effort into its tobacco sticks. Under its HEETS, Marlboro, and Parliament lines, there are a total of 11 flavors. Marlboro tobacco sticks include Mint, Crisp Mint, Regular, Rich Regular, Blueberry, and Nutty; Parliament tobacco sticks include Mint and Regular; and HEETS tobacco sticks include Amber Rich, Mint, and Regular. This gives smokers multiple choices, allowing users with different taste preferences to enjoy a better experience.
China Tobacco tobacco sticks
The new flavors announced by China Tobacco include Rich Original, Lemon Mint, Blueberry Mint, Mango, Milky, Whisky, Pineapple, and Passion Fruit. Together with the Russian-market original flavor version, the total number of flavors is now comparable to the three major IQOS tobacco stick brands. When China Tobacco first launched its heated tobacco brand “Kuanzhai Gongfu,” there was only one tobacco stick flavor available — Original. (Among IQOS’s full lineup of 11 flavors, mint is the most popular.) At that time, Kuanzhai Gongfu earned a good reputation mainly because of its “full compatibility with all tobacco sticks.” Users appreciated the durable build of Kuanzhai Gongfu and liked pairing it with other brands’ tobacco sticks, such as Marlboro and FIIT. But now that situation is changing, because the previous weakness of Kuanzhai Gongfu — its limited tobacco stick options — has now been addressed. This could become another major breakthrough for China Tobacco, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.
Advantages of the Kuanzhai Gongfu device
“Kuanzhai Gongfu” is a heated tobacco brand launched by China Tobacco in October 2017, first introduced in the South Korean market and later launched in Russia. It appears to be no less competitive than IQOS, and in some ways may even be slightly better in terms of convenience and operating cost:
① One charge can support 10 or more tobacco sticks; ② The holder is easy to clean thoroughly (when clean, the heating blade can be removed), and the self-cleaning function is powerful; ③ Tobacco sticks are heated more fully, with stronger output and more vapor (some users even say that using Kuanzhai Gongfu with imported tobacco sticks can make light mint taste like strong mint); ④ IQOS heating blades are easy to break and have a relatively high failure rate, while Kuanzhai Gongfu improved the heating blade design and replacement system from the very beginning; ⑤ It is easy to carry, and the holder can both heat tobacco sticks and charge; ⑥ It is compatible with all tobacco sticks (Marlboro, HEETS, Parliament, FIIT), giving users more choices — though in fact IQOS can also do this.
