Kuanzhai Kung Fu Heated Tobacco Device Review
The Kuanzhai Kung Fu heated tobacco device comes in simple yet elegant packaging. The tile-like graphic printed at the top appears to reference Chengdu’s famous Kuanzhai Alley, while the red Kung Fu logo carries a festive and distinctly Chinese character
The packaging of the Kuanzhai Kung Fu electronic cigarette is simple and elegant, with a瓦状印刷 on top that likely represents the famous Kuanzhai boxes in Chengdu. The red Kung Fu logo is very characteristic of Chinese festive culture, making it quite memorable.
On the back of the packaging, it prominently states "Heat Not Burn Cigarettes," which reflects innovation and technology in just seven simple words. The middle section describes the usage method with illustrations, packaging configuration, and the manufacturer. The back of the Kuanzhai bullet head also highlights the embodiment of innovation and technology with the phrase "Non-Burning Cigarettes," along with illustrations of the usage method.
Product Appreciation
The main feature of the Kuanzhai Kung Fu heater is divided into three parts: the heating dry component, the heating core assembly, and the outer shell that also secures the pods. The heater appears to have a very minimalist yet high-end design, which I personally appreciate for its understated elegance. The craftsmanship is also exquisite and meticulous, a true work of conscience. Upon opening the second layer of the packaging box, I found neatly arranged accessories and a manual, indicating Kuanzhai's meticulous attitude towards the product. The Kuanzhai bullet head comes in a pack of ten boxes. I took one box out and opened it with anticipation, and it did not disappoint. The futuristic white color paired with the tech black of the Kuanzhai name, separated by a red ring, is intriguing.
Pod Analysis
The pod consists of four segments: the short filter tip as the first layer, which is the conventional cigarette filter made of acetate fiber; the second layer is a thermal paper core that resembles aluminum foil; the third layer is a hollow paper core that is particularly hard and likely stabilizes the shape of the pod; the fourth layer contains the heated tobacco leaf slices, which is the part that is heated for consumption. I am not entirely sure about the composition, but I know there is a certain amount of tobacco powder inside. The length and size are similar to Kuanzhai's contemporaneous product, "Kuanzhai-Xiushuang," but it resembles a bullet in size, hence the name "bullet head." The aroma is not the typical tobacco scent but rather a pleasant herbal fragrance that is very comforting.
Taste Experience
Insert the bullet head pod into the Kuanzhai Kung Fu heater, ensuring that it is inserted correctly at the position where the heater's mouth meets the bullet head's red ring. Then, gently press the switch five times, and the heater will vibrate, and the breathing light will start to flash. Once the breathing light is steady, you can begin to inhale. The breathing light flashes for about eight seconds. When the breathing light is steady, you will sense a pleasant aroma wafting in.
For new tobacco products, the inhalation method does not need to emphasize the first puff as with conventional cigarettes, since there is no harsh smoke produced from burning. On the first puff, take a deep inhale; the vapor is very rich, and as you feel the vapor, the aroma also enters your senses, providing a very delicate flavor with hints of caramel or malt washing over your mouth.
The vapor is very full, and the flavor becomes smoother with the national roast. I have tried Marlboro pods, and to be honest, I am not fond of the mixed flavor. The vapor lingers in the mouth for a few seconds before slowly exhaling; the vapor is relatively cohesive, forming a cluster that, while not comparable to conventional cigarettes, performs quite well. The second puff is similarly rich in flavor, followed by a smooth throat hit. You may suddenly feel a slight irritation, as the vapor has a certain scratchy sensation in the throat, which those accustomed to Sichuan tobacco should find familiar.
Then it enters the lungs, where the advantages of new tobacco become evident, as there is no irritation whatsoever to the lungs, and it can even be described as very comfortable. The vapor is then slowly exhaled from the nasal cavity, where the aroma fills your entire sensory system, with a very rich and unique fragrance occupying your nasal cavity. If you pay close attention, you can catch a hint of the original tobacco aroma. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, leaving your mouth watering. After six or seven puffs, the vapor becomes lighter, and after about three minutes, the heater starts to vibrate, indicating the end of heating. From the used bullet head filter tip, it is evident that new tobacco does not contain tar, as the filter tip does not show any yellowing, and even if it does contain tar, it is negligible. It seems that new tobacco has elevated health considerations to a significant level. #p#分页标题#e#
Finally, some may ask me to compare the Kuanzhai electronic cigarette with IQOS. I would say that IQOS is already in its third generation, while Kuanzhai Kung Fu has just been released. It is normal for there to be a gap in chip technology, as Marlboro has invested billions in research and development. However, Kuanzhai Kung Fu will continue to improve its technology, and as a Sichuan native, I look forward to Kuanzhai's progress and will continue to support domestic heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes!
