Which is better, IQOS or vapor e-cigarettes?
Which is better, IQOS or vapor e-cigarettes? Honestly, comparing IQOS with other e-cigarettes is an uneven comparison. Comparing tobacco with e-cigarettes is of course not apples to apples. What impression do most people have of smoking? Naturally, that s
Comparing IQOS and vapor e-cigarettes is not a fair comparison; comparing tobacco with e-cigarettes is inherently unequal.
Most people's impression of smoking is that "smoking is harmful to health," as stated on cigarette packages. The main harmful component is tar, which is formed during the combustion of tobacco and cigarette paper through a series of chemical reactions involving substances that do not burn completely.
The mainstream vapor e-cigarettes on the market primarily rely on atomizers to vaporize e-liquid to create the sensation of smoking. It must be said that IQOS has made a new attempt, reducing the tar produced by combustion while also minimizing the harm of secondhand smoke.
However, the value of this attempt is limited; without completely eliminating tar, it cannot be deemed absolutely healthy. Even vapor e-cigarettes that do not contain tar cannot be definitively labeled as completely healthy.
The essence of IQOS is still tobacco, which is indisputable. Although it uses a "heat-not-burn" method, the main component that enters the human body is still the specially made tobacco sticks. Therefore, the tobacco authority classifies it as tobacco rather than an e-cigarette. The import of tobacco involves tariffs and other issues, making IQOS illegal.
During the time when IQOS was gaining popularity, the government had not yet responded promptly to its regulation, and this new type of "e-cigarette" attracted a large number of followers, especially in first-tier cities. The specific reason is that the tobacco sticks ensure the original flavor and taste of cigarettes, while the very low tar content makes it appealing to many. The strict "no smoking in public places" regulations in first-tier cities are interpreted as a means to avoid the harm of secondhand smoke, and the very light smoke of IQOS reduces the harm of secondhand smoke to a minimum, making it a "smoke that can be smoked in public places," thus gaining a wave of fans.
It cannot be denied that it is indeed a good product compared to tobacco. However, the tobacco authority later classified it as illegal, putting it in a very awkward position domestically, leaving those who bought the device in need of cartridges.
For heavy smokers, IQOS cartridges are typically consumed at a rate of about 2 to 3 per session. An individual can bring back about two packs of cigarettes from abroad through customs, but for cartridges, which are consumables in high demand, two packs are hardly sufficient. One cannot keep going abroad just to bring back cartridges.
From online sources, the genuine products you can find are mostly smuggled. However, many "purchasers" do not engage in smuggling, leading to a prevalence of counterfeit cartridges in the market.
The IQOS device itself is also problematic; being a new technology, it is not yet perfected and is prone to damage. Without proper after-sales service domestically, if it breaks, one must go abroad to find a place for repairs, making it difficult to obtain legitimate after-sales support.
I previously purchased an IQOS device when it was very popular, but now it mostly sits unused, gathering dust. I have encountered counterfeit cartridges that taste like paper, lacking any flavor. At most, I occasionally remember to ask a friend returning from abroad to bring back a pack of cartridges.
After being unable to use IQOS, I have been using a device called the Firearm ECS e-cigarette as a replacement. It is compact and also vapor-based, using specially made cartridges with e-liquid. It is a fully enclosed independent type, which basically avoids the issue of e-liquid leakage. Occasionally, when I reach the last few puffs, some e-liquid may surge up, but a gentle blow resolves this issue, which is common in all vapor e-cigarettes.
The original flavor cartridge closely resembles the taste of real cigarettes. I once mistakenly thought that e-liquid could never replicate the taste of real cigarettes, which is why I bought IQOS. After using the Firearm ECS, I realized I was truly young.
As the brothers on Hupu say, "Using it helped me quit IQOS."#p#分页标题#e#
