Good evening,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.
My throat has been sore since yesterday and I don't want it to get any worse, but I can't quit smoking (sweat).
I thought that I might be called a "Janice," but I dared to come up with a project (article topic) that would be bad for my throat.
Zuhari,Reputed to be on the level of Icos.PALSandIQOSTaste comparison ofIt is.
The content of this article is to compare the various types of ID sticks and heat sticks and write about them.
I am a subjective 1001 TP3T, so please bear with me on that.
About Pals
In case you are not familiar with it, here is a brief explanation.
PALS(in Japanese history)PULZEWhat isImperial Tobacco JapanIt is available fromhigh temperature heated cigaretteIn a kind of,IQOSand ... andglo, ,plume SIt is in the same genre as.
The dedicated cigarettes are called "ID cigarette sticks" and are now available in three types: regular, menthol, and capsule menthol.
Currently, it is available only in Fukuoka, and if you are in the Kanto area like me, you cannot buy it except through Mercari or resale items.
Since an online store has been set up on the official website, we expect that the area will be expanded soon. We expect that they will expand the area soon, but we don't know the timing at this moment.
In any case, this is a new challenger to the three-way high-temperature heated genre, and it is a device that is attracting a lot of attention among heated cigarette bloggers.
Comparison of PALS and Icos dedicated sticks
In this article, we will be comparing the Icos with the king of all comparisons, the Icos.
heat stickis available in three regular and two menthol varieties, and Pulses, of course, is available in "ID Cigarette StickThree types of.
The cost of cigarettes alone was nearly 4,000 yen (sweat).
The taste depends not only on the dedicated tobacco itself, but also on the performance of the device. In the end, dedicated cigarettes can only be smoked with a dedicated device, so I would like to evaluate them as they are.
By the way, I will be using Icos multi, which is similar in shape and performance to Pals, so please desu.
*I thought I lost it, but it fell under a metal rack.
Pals and Icos Comparison: Regular Flavor
Icos are available in Regular, Smooth Regular, and Balanced Regular, while Pals has only one type of regular, so these four will be used for comparison.
Before I go any further, I would like to tell you that my main smoking is smooth regular, so I hope you will take that into consideration when reading this.
Marlborough regular
This is the most tobacco-like of the heat sticks, and it's hard from the first hit.
The kick and nicotine is danting, and the flavor is quite intense.
I always smoke smooth regular and it still felt harsh to me, but the smell was even worse.
I think the smell is tops along with the tobacco feel.
Marlborough smooth regular (petrol, gasoline)
This is the flavor I smoke every day!
The kick, nicotine, and smell are all there and easy to smoke.
Personally, I found it to be not much different in harshness from the balanced regular, but the aftertaste is crisp and less smelly.
It's delicious without any peculiarities.
Marlborough balanced regular (petrol, gasoline)
Balanced regular was more chic than I expected.
Is it pleasantly light? I think it is light enough to be satisfactory.
It doesn't have much of a kick, but it is easy to smoke and I thought, "This is good! I thought.
However, the aftertaste is characteristic and the aroma is a bit off-putting.
ID cigarette stick, regular (standard mode)
The poor start-up is as previously reviewed, still not good at all at first.
The flavor is similar to Smooth Regular and is easy to smoke without any peculiarities.
There is not much of a kick, but the nicotine is sufficient, and most importantly, there is little odor.
If you are a smooth regular smoker, I think it is totally OK.
ID cigarette stick, regular (eco mode)
The start-up...needless to say, no. It doesn't smoke properly until about 30 seconds after preheating is complete.
The eco mode is said to have a temperature of 315 degrees Celsius, 30 degrees lower, but it feels much lighter because the kick is almost eliminated.
The biggest advantage of the eco mode in my opinion is the low odor.
This is a feature that takes Plume-S's share of the market.
I smoked 7 at once, partly because I had to re-smoke them to reconfirm the difference between Smooth Regular and Balanced Regular, so my head is spinning (sweat).
I mean, I'm getting sick...
Pals and Icos Comparison: General Comments on Regular Flavor
| cigarette brand | flavor | full-bodied | smacks of ... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marlborough Regular | (5 / 5.0) | (5 / 5.0) | (5 / 5.0) |
| Marlboro Smooth Regular | (3.5 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) |
| Marlboro Balanced Regular | (2.5 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) |
| ID Cigarette Stick Regular (Standard mode) | (4 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) |
| ID Cigarette Stick Regular (Eco mode) | (3 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) | (2.5 / 5.0) |
Pals has a poor rise, but the flavor is better than Smooth Regular, and the smoke (kick, nicotine, etc.) and lack of odor are on par with Smooth Regular.
in other wordsCould it be better than Smooth Regular?I even thought it was a good idea.
The eco mode is a significant reduction in both taste and feel of the smoke, but it is also less smelly, so it is likely to be more powerful when you are with people.
I think it would be lacking for those who smoked regular heat sticks,If you're a smooth & balanced regular person, you'll be satisfied!.
Pals and Icos Comparison: Menthol Flavor
We compared the Icos with two menthol and two mint, and the Pulses with two mint and two capsule menthols.
By the way, I am a regular person by nature, so I have only smoked a little bit of all of them...so I will review them without preconceived notions!
Marlboro Menthol
I can already smell the menthol from the moment I open the box (sweat).
I think it is a pretty tight menthol.
The menthol lingers in your mouth even when you are not smoking it, and the refreshment is amazing.
It has a kick to it and is perfect for menthol lovers.
Marlborough mint
This is delicious! It has a gentle taste that even I, a regular smoker, can enjoy.
The menthol is not harsh at all, so it is quite easy to smoke, and the aftertaste is pleasant with a soft mint flavor.
Maybe it's because I have a sore throat, or maybe because I smoked too much regular.
It is quite good because it is a good smoke and the smell is not too strong!
ID Cigarette Stick mint(Standard)
It's laughably bad at rising up...what the heck is this? It's like, "What's this?
The menthol is not harsh at all, but the mint in the mouth is insanely assertive.
Both the kick and the feel of the smoke are not bad, but the mint may be persistent.
It doesn't smell too bad, but I prefer the mint of the Icos to the mint of the Icos.
ID cigarette stick, mint (eco-friendly)
The persistent aftertaste is gone, but the smoking sensation is gone along with it.
It is like smoking a very light menthol, and the various characteristics are neither good nor bad anymore.
I like this one better as a mint flavor, but the tobacco-ness is not so good.
I know some people like it, but for me, it is the next best thing.
ID Cigarette Stick Capsule Menthol(Standard)
If you don't break the capsule, it is not tasty at all, like a very weak menthol.
But when you break the capsule, you get a good menthol feeling and a good smoking experience!
I thought it would turn into a harsh menthol, but it has a nice tobacco taste with just the right amount of tobacco.
Speaking of capsules, Glow, why is it so hard to find a good one?
ID cigarette stick capsule menthol (eco mode)
In eco mode, the taste of the capsule comes forward a bit.
As usual, the smoking sensation is reduced and may be a little lacking.
It's not that it's bad, but I'd like a little more punch.
In any case, the menthol sensation is not strong, so it may not be suitable for those who like guttural menthol.
The first few were fresh and good, but the last one still makes me sick.
But now that I have finished all the reviews, I am relieved that I finally don't have to smoke (sweat).
Pals and Icos Comparison: General Comments on Menthol Flavors
| cigarette brand | flavor | full-bodied | smacks of ... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marlboro Menthol | (5 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) |
| Marlborough Mint | (3 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) |
| ID cigarette stick mint (Standard mode) | (3 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) |
| ID cigarette stick mint (Eco mode) | (2 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) | (2.5 / 5.0) |
| ID Cigarette Stick Capsule Menthol (Standard mode) | (3 / 5.0) | (4 / 5.0) | (3 / 5.0) |
| ID Cigarette Stick Capsule Menthol (Eco mode) | (2 / 5.0) | (2 / 5.0) | (2 / 5.0) |
Conclusion,IQOSのmintwas the best!.
I found the mint in the Pals to have a persistent aftertaste, but other than that, I would rate them about the same.
The capsule menthol is also delicious, but it turns out that if you break the capsule first, the flavor stalls at the end... This was expected, as I have experienced this with the glow, but it is a regrettable point.
I would give the Icos Mint the edge on these four points: a moderate menthol sensation, a refreshing mint flavor, a satisfying smoke, and a softly fragrant smell..
Pals and Icos dedicated sticks comparison summary
In regular, the ID cigarette stick regular and the heat stick smooth regular seemed comparable, but in menthol, the Icos mint was dangling.
However,PALSis a very short smoking time, but even the rise time is bad, so the actual smoking time seemed to be much less!.
Considering that the exclusive cigarettes are also only sold in Fukuoka,I don't know if I need to force myself to buy the next best thing right now.I am honestly impressed with the quality of the product.
Pals itself is a fairly high performance device, so it would be nice if it could be improved upon.
Will they continue to expand nationwide or will they prioritize upgrading?
It will be interesting to see what Pals does in the future.
postscript
It was indeed hard to smoke more than 10 cigarettes in a few hours.
I have an early day tomorrow, so it's time for me to get some rest.
Thank you for your patience until the end. m(_ _)m
