In the world of e-cigarettes, we often hear keywords like "e-liquid," "pod systems," and "heat-not-burn IQOS." Recently, pod systems have gained immense popularity, and even the heat-not-burn giant Philip Morris has launched its IQOS pod system. Recently, Philip Morris introduced their first e-cigarette device, the IQOS Mesh, which uses e-liquid pods instead of tobacco sticks. Is the IQOS MESH enjoyable to use, and how many flavors does IQOS offer?
Philip Morris International (PMI), the parent company of Marlboro, has shifted its focus entirely to new tobacco products since developing the highly sought-after IQOS heat-not-burn e-cigarette. Reports indicate that PMI has announced a five-year plan to phase out traditional cigarettes, with plans to abandon its traditional cigarette business in the UK by 2018 and fully develop new tobacco products.
In addition to the IQOS heat-not-burn device, PMI has recently launched the latest IQOS MESH vapor e-cigarette, attracting global consumers' attention. In fact, PMI's involvement in the vape market is not new; they recognized the potential of the e-cigarette market early on and launched the first-generation MESH e-cigarette in the UK in November 2016, which used liquid pods and offered four flavors.
Although IQOS is popular and sold in over 30 countries, its inherent tobacco nature has made it challenging for PMI to enter certain markets, such as the two largest economies in the world—China and the U.S. In the U.S., despite PMI spending heavily to submit relevant applications to the FDA, they have yet to receive approval for market entry. In China, the sale of IQOS is considered illegal, which goes without saying. In contrast, vapor e-cigarettes using e-liquid as a medium can enter the market without hindrance.
PMI also encourages smokers to quit traditional cigarettes and switch to new products as alternatives, offering options like vapor pods or heat-not-burn devices. Developing new tobacco and vape markets while capturing market share from consumers with different preferences is a smart strategy for the giant!
In fact, news about this product was revealed back in 2017 in the second issue of the "Scientific Dynamics" magazine published by Philip Morris International, discussing the research and evaluation of a series of potential low-risk cigarette alternatives. MESH is one of the four smoke-free product types developed by Philip Morris International, currently being promoted in Birmingham, UK. This issue of the magazine focuses on the product design philosophy and manufacturing behind it. Like IQOS, MESH is one of the four smoke-free product types developed by Philip Morris International.
Mesh Heating Element
Official parameters of IQOS MESH: 170mm x 18.5mm, metal body, weight 62g, 900mAh battery, USB charging, 2ml e-liquid capacity, disposable pods.
The second component of the e-liquid chamber is the vapor outer frame, made from food and medical-grade plastic. Currently, the plastics used in e-cigarettes that meet standards include PPSU, PEI, POM, PES, etc.
Although mesh resistors are common, primarily in high-power evaporators, the IQOS mesh e-cigarette features a single 16-micron fine screen, allowing for smaller resistance variations in the vapor composition compared to traditional coils, with a resistance surface area of 11.7mm, and the mesh material is stainless steel.
The pod brand is VEEV, currently offering seven flavors: Indian Tea, Citrus Tobacco, Fresh Mint, Passion Fruit, Brazilian Cherry, Red Raspberry, and Aromatic Tobacco. Each pod is individually packaged, with two in a box and ten boxes in a pack. The official device is priced at £19.99 (around 180 RMB), and the pods are £2.99 for two (around 27 RMB). The pricing is reasonable, and the acceptance among the public is high. Whether PMI can spark a new e-cigarette craze with IQOS MESH remains to be seen.
