The question that pushed me into this comparison was embarrassingly practical. My glo Pro was dying, the battery had dropped to four or five sticks before it started complaining, and the…
I went through a workweek with the HEATX-3 in my coat pocket and the Pulze 3.0 in the other pocket, and the two devices made their case in completely different ways. The HEATX-3 is heavy,…
The first thing I noticed switching between the two was the weight in my pocket. The Ploom TECH+ is 37 g. I genuinely forget it is in there. The HEATX-3 is 100 g, and it announces itself…
Two boxes arrived on the same week. One is a HEATX-3, the other is a lil device from KT&G, the Korean brand that has spent the last decade making heated tobacco look less like a medical…
You open the box, the manual is a folded card with six pictures on it, and now you have a device that costs real money. Let me save you the first evening. This is what to do, in order, plus…
There is a question that keeps showing up in our support inbox, and it usually arrives the same way. Someone writes in to ask whether the HEATX GEN2.0 is…
I owned a glo Pro for about a year before I started paying attention to what was actually happening inside it. The battery went from a full day to most of…
The Pulze is the one I keep recommending to people who want a device that does one job and gets out of the way. It is small, it is light, it heats up fast…
There is a question I get more often than any other from people who are new to heated tobacco, and it has nothing technical in it. They ask whether the…
The lil SOLID 2.0 has one of the shortest session lengths in the category and I think it is the most interesting device in this comparison because of…

Každá značka HNB soutěží v tom, kdo udělá nejmenší zařízení. Ploom zmenšil Ploom X. Lil je s každou generací o něco štíhlejší. IQOS šel opačným směrem s…
Existuje jedna otázka, která se objeví na každém HNB fóru a v každé skupině, většinou formulovaná takhle: 'můžu znovu ohřát tyčinku, kterou jsem už…
Každé zařízení pro zahřívaný tabák má svůj rituál čištění. Majitelé IQOS znají malý kartáček a poklepávání. Uživatelé Glo čekají, až komora vychladne, a…
