How long do IQOS HEETS last?
By Samuel Lawrence
Many people first hear about heated tobacco when searching for better alternatives to cigarettes. HEETS tobacco sticks contain real tobacco and are designed for exclusive use with IQOS. But people often wonder, how long do HEETS last? Find out below.
How long do HEETS last?
Each HEETS tobacco stick lasts up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs. The way you puff impacts how long they last. For instance, longer and gentler puffs would extend the duration of your experience.
Why are HEETS smaller than cigarettes?
People who are new to IQOS and HEETS might be surprised by how small HEETS tobacco sticks look compared to cigarettes. HEETS tobacco sticks don’t need to be as long as a cigarette because HEETS tobacco sticks are heated, not burned.
The tobacco inside cigarettes is rolled loosely to allow air to flow while it burns, oxygenation is required to keep a cigarette lit. However, the tobacco in HEETS is compressed rather than being rolled loosely, this ensures equal exposure to the IQOS heating blade when the HEETS tobacco stick is used inside the IQOS device. This is why HEETS tobacco sticks appear smaller than cigarettes.
When a cigarette is burnt, the tobacco burns away leaving ash behind. IQOS HeatControl Technology ensures HEETS are heated evenly from the inside out, meaning the tobacco stick stays fully intact as it is used.
