How do the Iqos heatsticks taste?

Let’s get to the crucial part for smokers, the taste. And despite the tobacco it is very different from a cigarette. In an interview, many users report that Iqos heatsticks taste like hay. Anyone who has puffed on a cigarette every day for years and then tries IQOS for the first time will find the taste repulsive at first. The feeling when inhaling the tobacco vapor is not really satisfactory either.

But if you persevere with the switch to Iqos heatsticks, you will quickly notice: the tide is turning. Anyone who puffs on a conventional cigarette after a few weeks of Iqos heatsticks feels disgust. The cigarette suddenly tastes completely different, far too intense, the smell alone is repulsive. We were not only able to convince ourselves of this in the one-week practical test, many other Iqos heatsticks users (as in the video above) confirm that they are turning away from cigarettes.

Do you smoke less with Iqos heatsticks? Most Iqos heatsticks smokers say they use tobacco heaters just as often as they used to cigarette. So nicotine consumption remains the same. But if you are considering quitting smoking completely, it could be easier with Iqos heatsticks. Because: Anyone who has switched to Iqos heatsticks no longer likes conventional cigarettes. Confronting smokers in public is no longer so difficult.

IQOS is an absolute lifestyle product, the design even reminiscent of Apple: Nevertheless, at the end you have a technical device in your hand. The feeling of having a cigarette in hand, which smokers perceive as pleasant, disappears. In the end, of course, willpower counts when quitting, but Iqos heatsticks is a good way to get used to it, a first step out of the habit.

IQOS in a practical test

We tested the IQOS 3 for a week * – and we are neither enthusiastic nor disappointed. The taste irritated us at first. As a heavy smoker, only the red Iqos heatsticks came into question for me, they taste the most intense of all four types. I also always had the feeling that we “smoke” IQOS even faster than a cigarette. The first impression has changed recently.
