Q&A
Personally, I suggest that people without a smoking history should not start with Vapes.
Before buying an Vapes, you need to understand that Vapes are meant to replace traditional cigarettes, with the ultimate goal of quitting smoking. If you have never smoked and start with Vapes, it is putting the cart before the horse.
Why do I say this? I haven't tried IQOS, so I won't comment on that, but I have tried some domestic brands. Firstly, the flavor of Vape liquids is very strange. I can't accept it no matter what. After a few puffs, my mouth is full of that astringent flavor, and it makes drinking water or tea nauseating.
Secondly, Vapes are meant for heavy smokers who need a substitute. Their target audience is people who smoke several packs a day and have a high demand for nicotine. Most Vape pods have 3mg of nicotine, which is much more than traditional cigarettes. If you've never smoked and start with Vapes, I'll tell you what will happen.
Firstly, you need to go to a physical store to try different pods. Trying dozens of pods in the store is equivalent to smoking several cigarettes in a row. Since you've never smoked, the nicotine from those dozens of puffs will definitely make you feel sick, and you might even pass out. When I first went to try Vapes, even though I had been smoking traditional cigarettes for a while, I felt dizzy and nauseous for a whole day after trying dozens of puffs. My mouth was full of that artificial flavor.
So I strongly advise you not to start smoking. Even if you decide to smoke, don't start with Vapes. There are many low-nicotine, low-tar options in traditional cigarettes, such as Mild Seven, which is very suitable for beginners.
If you must use Vapes, start with nicotine-free pods.
