Is IQOS a vaporizer?
Electronic cigarettes or vaporizers are an alternative to cigarettes. These devices allow you to inhale and exhale steam: the action of "vaporizing". Thousands of people have already switched from cigarettes to these new devices.
These devices are an alternative to cigarettes, but IQOS is not a vaporizer. In this article we will explain the main differences between a vaporizer and IQOS, a tobacco heating device that is a better alternative to cigarettes.
What is vaping?
Vaping is an alternative to smoking. The big difference between vaporizers and cigarettes is that the latter burn tobacco and when subjected to combustion, produce nicotine smoke and more than 6000 constituents, many of which are known to be harmful.
In contrast, vaporizers do not contain tobacco and do not burn any substances, as they only heat liquids that may or may not contain nicotine.
In general, its operation is simple: in the core of each vaporizer is the atomizer containing a coil, which is responsible for heating the vapor-generating liquid.
What are the alternatives to vaping?
The IQOS is a device designed for adult smokers who wish to continue using tobacco products and who would otherwise continue to smoke cigarettes. Created by PMI, this device, which allows smoking without combustion is therefore a better alternative for smokers. It was developed after years of research and a major investment in resources.
The advanced HeatControl technology™ in IQOS blade devices, developed after years of research and a large investment in resources, allows you to heat tobacco units specially designed for IQOS to a lower temperature than cigarettes, without burning tobacco. This is the technology that sets IQOS apart from any other commercially available alternative.
IQOS uses real tobacco
IQOS does not use liquids, but real tobacco, thus releasing the true tobacco flavour and nicotine but without smoke, without ash and without a cigarette smell.
Since IQOS only produces a more rapidly dissipating aerosol, the smell it emits is much less persistent than that of a cigarette. Unlike cigarettes, since there is no combustion, IQOS does not produce ash, and since it does not have to light it like a cigarette, there is no risk that IQOS will burn the user, the people around them, animals, clothing or furniture.
