Quick Answer: A single HEETS stick typically lasts for about 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first. This is roughly equivalent to the time it takes to smoke a traditional cigarette.
Understanding Your HEETS Experience
If you're new to IQOS or considering making the switch from traditional cigarettes, one of the most common questions is about how long each HEETS stick will last. Let's break this down to help you better plan your tobacco experience.
What Affects the Duration?
The lifespan of your HEETS stick depends on a few factors:
- Your puffing frequency - Taking longer or more frequent drags will consume the stick faster
- Device model - Different IQOS devices may have slightly varying session times
- Ambient temperature - Cold weather can sometimes affect heating performance
Getting the Most Out of Each Stick
To maximize your HEETS experience, make sure your IQOS device is fully charged and properly maintained. The device will typically vibrate or indicate when your session is about to end, giving you a heads-up that you have about 30 seconds or two puffs remaining.
The Bottom Line
With approximately 6 minutes per stick, you can expect similar satisfaction timing to traditional smoking, but with the heated tobacco technology. This makes it easy to plan your breaks and manage your daily usage.
Remember, HEETS are designed specifically for IQOS devices and should never be lit like regular cigarettes.
