Tobacco heaters vs e-cigarettes
Tobacco heaters and e-cigarettes are alternatives to traditional cigarettes. While they may seem very similar at first glance, there are some notable differences.
So, what are the differences between tobacco heaters and e-cigarettes? You'll find all the information in this article.
How does an e-cigarette work?
Vape, also known as e-cigarettes, are battery-powered electronic devices that heat an e-liquid in the vaporiser and create an aerosol (vapour) which is then inhaled through the mouthpiece. This means that e-cigarettes do not produce smoke, only vapour.
The aerosol of an e-cigarette does not contain tobacco but may contain different flavours and therefore resemble the taste of tobacco. An e-liquid does not necessarily contain nicotine, as there are also nicotine-free e-cigarettes.
The most important differences between e-cigarettes and tobacco heaters
E-liquids vs tobacco sticks
The first difference is that with glo™, our tobacco heater, we use tobacco sticks. This is tobacco specially prepared to be heated, so it's different than compared to traditional cigarettes, which is burnt. With an e-cigarette, an e-liquid is used, which does not contain tobacco. This liquid is then transformed into vapour by the e-cigarette.
The e-cigarette contains no tobacco
Another difference to glo™ is that e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, although they may have a tobacco flavour. In contrast, with a tobacco heating device like glo™ you can enjoy real tobacco. Heating tobacco results in 90% less toxicants*.
The similarities between e-cigarettes and tobacco heating devices
Now that you know the differences between e-cigarettes and tobacco heating devices, here are the similarities that make these two products a suitable alternative to cigarettes:
Electronic device:
Unlike cigarettes, tobacco heaters and e-cigarettes are electrically powered and run on batteries.
Nicotine content:
Nicotine is absorbed via the aerosols produced by the e-cigarettes and tobacco heating devices.
No combustion process:
E-cigarettes and tobacco heaters do not burn, so there is no ash, fire, or the smell of cigarette smoke**. However, it should be noted that the smoke and odours released by e-cigarettes correspond to the flavour of the e-liquid chosen by the consumer.
Different flavours:
Both e-cigarettes with their e-liquids and tobacco heaters with neo™ tobacco sticks are available with different flavours.
Alternatives to traditional cigarettes:
Tobacco heating devices and e-cigarettes are alternatives to cigarettes **.
Tobacco heater or e-cigarette: what's right for me?
Are you looking for a better alternative for smoking a cigarette?** If so, you could choose an e-cigarette. You'll be able to find different flavours and gradually reduce your nicotine intake. In that case, Vuse e-cigarettes could be a good solution for you.

Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide which alternative is the right one. Despite certain differences, e-cigarettes and tobacco heating devices offer smokeless pleasure.
