How Long Does a Heat Not Burn Experience Last?

The length of time a heat not burn experience lasts depends on a few factors. Firstly, it depends upon whether the length of time refers to the solid stick or the heat not burn device itself. Beyond that, variables such as frequency of use and maintenance will dictate exactly how long it lasts.

Solid sticks contain no liquid, unlike liquid vaping which heats a nicotine containing liquid to create vapour.

Solid sticks are heated to 350⁰ Celsius – at this temperature, the device releases nicotine–containing vapour. Importantly, since no burning has taken place, the vapour contains 95% less harmful chemicals than a cigarette. *

Each solid stick lasts up to six minutes or 14 puffs. Regardless of the brand or consumable type, solid sticks should have a shelf life, and this means it will eventually deteriorate. Old or dated sticks should be discarded, even if they have not been used.

The answer to this question mostly depends on the type of device and the brand. A modern, high-quality device will generally last longer than a cheaper, older model. Another factor is how one looks after their device. Good maintenance and cleaning routines can go a long way in preserving a device’s longevity.
