Summary of differences between Plume X and Plume S! Evolution of taste and smoking experience that can be seen by comparing the two

Good evening,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

These days.Plume-XSince it is one color, the oldplume SI don't think many people use it, but it suddenly caught my eye."comparison of strokes in a cigarette"I'm going to try to do the.

To be honest, the Plume-S was a pretty good device, too.

But whether the design was bad, the taste was bad, or the promotion was bad... in any case, it disappeared quietly.

Since it is already sold and no longer supported, I cannot buy a new one, but I decided to compare them one with another.

Review of all Plume-X flavors(including new flavors) are here

Comparative review of Plume-X and Plume-S

What these two devices have in common is a special cigarette stick.

Plume-X is in a sense the successor to Plume-S, and although the dedicated cigarette sticks have been redesigned, they are still used in the same way.

The differences are, of course, in the design, but also in the areas related to heating, which have changed significantly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that these changes are the secret of Plume-X's popularity.

Plume X/S Difference: Difference in heating method

HEATFLOW on Plume-X is a heating system that is an evolution of Taste Accelerator.

Taste Accelerator is a heating method that optimizes temperature according to heating time, but HEATFLOW focuses on and multiplies the fine temperature control as well as the air flow.

Plume X/S Difference: Difference in heating temperature

As you can see, it is now heated at a higher temperature, but how hot is this 295 degrees Celsius, which is almost as hot as an Icos and slightly higher than a Glow Hyper.

Since the high heating temperature of a heated cigarette directly correlates to the smoking experience, this increase in heating temperature has succeeded in attracting users who felt that the smoking experience was not enough.

Plume X/S Difference: Smokable time difference

One of the highly rated features of Plume-X was the 5-minute all-you-can-smoke specification.

Older Plume-es and Icos have a limit on the number of times they can be smoked, and often take around 3 minutes to finish if you are a spastic smoker... This is one of their charms.

Plume X/S Difference: With and without mode switching

At the time of the Plume-S launch, mode switching was popular, and Pals and Glow also adopted it, but as far as Plume-S was concerned, it was unnecessary.

Because the Taste Accelerator was launched as a mode to make menthol and regular cigarettes tasty, a number of people started smoking with the Taste Accelerator all the time! This is also reflected in Plume-X.

What is Plume-X's HEATFLOW?

In addition to precise heating temperature control, Ploom X focuses on airflow.
JT's original new heating technology, HEATFLOW, which has been thoughtfully developed for both temperature and airflow^® has made the evolution of the Ploom X possible.

https://ploom.clubjt.jp/ploomx/heating/

I understand that you are concerned with temperature and airflow, but frankly, it's too abstract to understand what's going on.

So, when a member of the development team was at the event, I asked him for a one-on-one explanation.

When we talked to him, he was not a cigarette/manufacturer, but completely like a consumer electronics manufacturer, and he spoke with great passion.

As one might expect, they refused to give us the details, saying that they were "trade secrets (laugh)! (laugh)," but we hope you will find it informative.

Features of the new HEATFLOW® heating technology (1): Maximum temperature

The conventional Plume-S 2.0 has a maximum temperature of about 240 degrees Celsius, which is relatively low for a high-temperature heating system, and the emphasis was on low odor rather than on the smoking experience.

However, Plume-X'sHeating temperature is 295°CIt's so hot you can feel it in one puff! The high temperature can be seen in a single breath.

The higher the temperature, the more the components in the tobacco leaf vaporize, which leads to a gusty smoking sensation.

There are pros and cons to the increased heating temperature! While many people say that the increased heating temperature has increased the smoke, others say that the increased heating temperature gives a burnt taste to the paper roll.

For those who liked the clear taste of Plume S, it may be hard in many ways,There is no doubt that it has become more of a sucker, for better or worse..

Feature of new heating technology HEATFLOW® (2): Precise temperature control

The "Taste Accelerator" used in Plume-S is a heating technology that adjusts the heating temperature at various times from the beginning to the end of the smoke.

For example, at the beginning of smoking, it heats at XX degree Celsius, after 1 minute, it heats at XX degree Celsius, and at the end of 4 minutes, it heats at XX degree Celsius...and so on.

This precise temperature control,Renewed FlavorThe new version is said to have been further brushed up in conjunction with the.

In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that this technology supports the intense specification of "smoking for 5 minutes regardless of the number of puffs," which is always mentioned when discussing the advantages of Plume-X.

Technology that allows you to smoke with great taste all the way through, that's HEATFLOW!.

Feature of new heating technology HEATFLOW® (3): Air control (airflow)

electronic cigaretteand ... andvaporiserAs you may know, air has a significant effect on the "flavor" of a product, as you may know if you use a "Taste of Air" or a "Taste of Air"..

Plume-X was designed to draw air in through a small hole at the bottom, but the linear flow and air volume could not reproduce the flavor sought by Plume-X....

The heating efficiency is further improved by circulating the air through the tobacco leaves.

We have succeeded in creating a deep flavor, richness and aroma..

The reputation of Plume-X's flavor is the result of this kind of "attention to detail.

Ploom X/S Comparison: Differences in Taste and Smoking Experience

In this case, we compared three different types of cigarettes: Camel Smooth, a regular flavor, Menthol Cold, and Menthol Yellow, a fruity menthol.

Incidentally, as I mentioned earlier, Plume S Taste Accelerator was claimed to be a mode for tasting menthol, but was later corrected to say that it also tastes good in regular... (laugh).

The comparison items are checked on a 5-point scale, with Plume-X as the axis, and the three items of mouthfeel, coolness, and odor are checked, and comments are included in the summary.

Plume X/S Taste Difference: Smoke Comparison with Camel Smooth

Smooth smoking, medium flavor regular flavor.

This delicious regular contains lamina, a rare part of the tobacco leaf, which gives it a mellow yet rich taste.

Plume X/S Taste Difference: Camel Menthol Cold and Smoke Comparison

Easy to smoke menthol with medium coolness, minty taste is there, well balanced flavor.

I personally think it is the most tobacco-like menthol, and I would recommend this menthol to those who value a good smoking experience.

Plume X/S Taste Difference: Camel Menthol Yellow to compare smoking

It is my favorite fruit menthol, a perfect combination of citrus acidity and menthol.

The coolness is there, but the flavor is not sweet and has a refreshing aftertaste that is addictive.

My impression of Plume X/S compared to Plume X/S

Plume X I smoked it.impressions

The Plume-X is definitely more rewarding to smoke because of the increased heating temperature.

I saw some comments on twitter that sometimes there was a taste or smell of burnt paper, but I was not very sensitive to it.

It's also important to note that you can smoke as much as you want for 5 minutes with unlimited number of puffs. If there are people who have tried smoking Plume-X in the past and have been put off by its lack of substance, we would like them to try smoking Plume-X.

Plume S2.0 Smoke Impressions

The Taste Accelerator is not bad, but it lacks a little bit of smoking power for me... The smell is at a level where the difference is not dramatic, so I felt the benefit of heating at a lower temperature (240 degrees) was not enough.

However, the menthol type is in its element or delicious, and I can still enjoy smoking it if it is a flavor type that does not focus too much on the smoking experience.

It is no longer the case, but it was also a receptacle for those who don't like the hard stuff, so it would have been nice to have the option of leaving it for such people.

Summary of differences between Plume-X and Plume-S

It's been a while since I've used Plume-X, but I was reminded that Plume-X has really evolved.

Some have said it has become smelly and harsh, but I would very much like to see them do their best.

Ploom X also offers special promotions, so if you're interested in getting the best deal, get it!
