1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Wtf, they are late on the vape devices so they try to reinvent the cigarette with most of the chemicals inside?

    No, they ADDED even more chemicals to keep it from burning tobacco. If you ask me, all of the tar associated with cigarette smoking is still there but now with added badness. That's why they also supply you a handy cleaning kit otherwise it will get so gunked up you won't be able to use it after a few times. And the smell and the cost of buying the device and its peripherals? I'll just stick to vaping thanks.

    Nope, not getting addicted to stinkies again. Not even going to try it if it was a free gift for being a 20+ year customer!

    And that heating element looks very cheap, what were they thinking?

    Let's face it the only gift you could get from them is a slow and painful death....

    I'd wager that these will be on sale in Thailand long before the vaping ban is lifted even though the same "logic" used to ban vaping should apply to these devices.

    From LiveScience website article "Are 'Heat-Not-Burn' Tobacco Products Safer Than Cigarettes?":

    The company wants to sell the product with the claim that using the products reduces the risk of tobacco-related disease, compared with using traditional cigarettes.

    But the FDA panel voted to reject this claim, saying that the company hadn't provided enough evidence to show that its product lowers disease risk compared with cigarettes, according to Reuters. The panel did, however, endorse the claim that the product releases lower levels of toxic chemicals compared with traditional cigarettes.

    Shadel said that this conclusion "seems about right based on the evidence available so far."

    In theory, heat-and-burn products could be safer because they don't lead to the combustion of tobacco, Shadel said. But "there’s just not enough evidence that users will incur less risk" from using the products, Shadel told Live Science.

    Shadel noted that most of the studies on IQOS have been conducted by Philip Morris, and much more research is needed by independent researchers who are not associated with the company to determine the safety of the product.

    **Updated**
    Here's Dr. Farsalinos presentation on his study of the IQOS.
    Bottom line is it's safety is comparable to vaping, but will not be satisfactory (probably disgusting) to established e-cigarette users.
