glo™ TOBACCO HEATERS VS E-CIGARETTES

Tobacco heaters, also known as tobacco heating products (THPs) or heated tobacco products (HTPs), and e-cigarettes are both smoke-free alternatives to traditional cigarettes. Although they can seem very similar at a first glance, there are significant differences between the two products.

HOW DOES AN E-CIGARETTE WORK?

E-cigarettes are powered electrically by a rechargeable battery, which heats the e-liquid within the device. As a result, aerosol is formed, which is inhaled through the mouthpiece. On some devices/models, there is a liquid tank that contains vape juice and an atomizer where the mouthpiece is installed directly in it.

E-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and instead have different flavors for users to choose from. An e-liquid also does not necessarily contain nicotine, and therefore presents several options to choose from depending on what product, brand, liquid flavor is present in the market or within the device itself.

THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN E-CIGARETTES AND TOBACCO HEATERS

Difference #1: E-liquids VS Tobacco sticks

The first difference is that tobacco heating devices use and heat real tobacco that is enclosed in specially designed sticks (i.e. neo™ sticks). While e-cigarettes evaporate liquid.

Difference #2: The e-cigarette is without tobacco

Another difference is that the e-cigarette does not contain tobacco and can lack the authentic tobacco flavor. glo™ devices, on the other hand, allow smokers to enjoy real tobacco.

Difference #3: Tobacco heaters are only available with nicotine

The liquids used in electronic cigarette don’t necessarily contain nicotine. They also come with different nicotine strengths, offering smokers more flexibility and options to choose from. While glo™ tobacco heaters always contain nicotine.

HOW ARE E-CIGARETTES SIMILAR TO TOBACCO HEATERS?

Here is an overview of the similarities e-cigarettes and tobacco heaters have as alternatives to traditional cigarettes:

• Operates electronically: Unlike cigarettes, tobacco heaters and e-cigarettes are battery powered.

• No combustion process: Both variants do not require fire and don’t produce smoke, as well as ash.*

• Less harmful: These two alternatives have about 90% fewer toxic substances*. However, it is important to note that they are ultimately not risk-free as they contain nicotine, an addictive substance.

CONCLUSION--WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Both e-cigarettes and tobacco heating products offer a smoke-free pleasure, but they differ in a lot of ways. In the end it comes down to personal preference in terms of selection of flavors, nicotine content, and authentic tobacco experience.
