Θέρμανση καπνού vs. Ηλεκτρονικό τσιγάρο: Ποιο είναι για σένα;

Although at first glance they may seem like two similar devices, the tobacco heating device and the electronic cigarette are not the same : not only do they use two different technologies , they also offer completely different smoking experiences .

Let's try to explain more about heated tobacco devices and allow each user to find the right device for their needs.

The differences between the heated tobacco device and the electronic cigarette

Despite the fact that both completely lack combustion and ash , heated tobacco devices and electronic cigarettes work completely differently .

Devices that heat tobacco such as the glo™ hyper+, for example, use Induction Heating Technology to heat the rod with real tobacco to a temperature of up to 260° (standard mode), without ever burning and therefore without combustion and ash.

Electronic cigarettes, on the other hand, are vapor systems that heat the refill liquid contained in them and create more or less dense vapor , which can be inhaled through the mouthpiece.

The tobacco rods for the tobacco heating device

Precisely because they are different devices, heated tobacco devices and electronic cigarettes operate with their own different consumables .

The tobacco heating device involves the use of real tobacco rods , which are similar to traditional cigarettes in both shape and feel when in contact with the lips.

The tobacco sticks for the glo ™ hyper + , for example, come in 4 flavors , from classic to fruity tobacco. Each stick lasts 3 or 4 minutes, similar to a traditional cigarette, but can also be used in Boost mode for a more intense experience .

Refill liquids for electronic cigarettes

Electronic cigarettes , on the other hand, work with refill liquids . The main feature that differentiates them from tobacco sticks is that they do not contain tobacco and may contain nicotine in different concentrations (or none at all) . Each device requires the use of specific liquids which generally contain glycerin or vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, water, food ingredients and, depending on the type of liquid, nicotine.

Once the device is activated, simply place your lips over the mouthpiece and inhale , producing vapor of varying densities. The duration of refills varies depending on the type and amount of liquid contained in each capsule.

Where to buy tobacco sticks

Like any smoking product, tobacco sticks for non-combustion devices can also be purchased directly from tobacconists .

Heated tobacco devices , on the other hand, can be purchased from authorized retailers or here  at the glo™ online store: once you receive the product, you can register it in Device Registration to activate the warranty and enjoy unique benefits.
