iQos Heets - Can someone demystify plz!!!

[Soma-Q]

Hi Everyone

just got a new iqos as a gift. But I am very hesitant to buy HEETS. When I looked online, i found different sources & blends. In Dubai there is the taxed version (made in Italy), then there is Russian OR Khazakhstan (only sold online locally, not sold in Stores because its not regulated), and a bunch of limited edition blends. Are they all the same? In terms of flavor and nicotine level. What the variety in naming (OMG)

can an expert explain HEETS to us Newbies

Welcome to ECF, Soma-Q. I can not explain iQos or HEETS as I am not too familiar with either. To speak a bit positively about iQos devices though, at least they vaporize or heat tobacco rather than burn it. That's the only good thing I can say about that thing. The fact that once it's 'turned on' it 'runs' for I think about 6 minutes and then the stick needs to be replaced is useless and only makes money for the seller. This is whether one vapes 1 or 10 times during that 6 minute period. I see that as lighting up a cigarette, taking a drag off it, and letting the whole cig burn anyway. It's a waste of money in my opinion.

I agree and also I can't believe the fact that the replacement cigs are like half the size of a normal cig and costs like a classic packet of 20cigs...
And combined with the fact that the cig gets burned and u have like 3minutes to smoke and if u miss it u need to wait to charge again it's not good for me...
then it makes me think that if I smoke one pack of classic cigs per day then with this I will need 1.5 or 2 packs for sure considering the losts soo it could be like 6-8euros per day...
The experience is much more closer to a classic cigarette but the execution of heating it is not good and make it costly and stressfull for an all day smoker like me...plus the flavour is kinda wierd for me...


If the device was somehow working different in heating the tobacco then
I would maybe switch to that when I tried to quit cigs

I tried Iqos and........ you're better of buying a vaperkit (a good one) then spending your money on these things. I tried all the "flavors" available here in my country and they tasted the same: cardboard boxes..... Sold the thing and never regretted it. I was a vaper and went back to vaping.... Lots of info here on ECF that will help you or just ask.
