The very latest product reviews of current harm reduction technology.
Although we are primarily concentrating on heated tobacco products we also do reviews of other harm reduction products such as e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches. Heat Not Burn UK has a some very good professional reviewers (Paul, Shannon and Fergus) that constantly produce thorough and unbiased opinions on the many devices we have been sent over the last 7 years.
We get many companies contacting us asking us to review their heated tobacco devices. If you are a company that manufactures heat not burn products please feel free to contact us and we may review your device for free. The only stipulation is that you include the device for free and cover the postage costs when sending it to one of our expert reviewers.
We do our best to be impartial, if the device is great we will say it’s great, if it’s not very good we will say it’s not very good. We will also point out its flaws and in some instances even offer advice on what we think could make the device much better. :-)
In a break from the normal heat-not-burn devices, we were invited to review the Wolkenkraft Buddy. Unlike the PAX3, the Buddy heats by convection rather than conduction.
What is the difference I hear you ask? Well, I’ll tell you.
If there’s one thing I can appreciate is the broad array of products available for smokers, either current or former. Broadly defined as “tobacco harm reduction”, each product available – be it an e-cigarette, heat-not-burn or snus (nicotine pouches) – offers something far better to the consumer than those in public health and tobacco control ever could. Each of the alternative products is fun. That’s the whole point.
It doesn’t seem so long ago that there were just two or three Heat not Burn devices on the market. That made it a bit tricky to keep you informed and entertained with product reviews, to say the least. Things started to change around last February, though – I think that was when the first Chinese device that uses Philip Morris’s HEETs reached me. Since then we’ve had quite a few – nothing like the variety of e-cigs that’s available, but still pretty respectable. Here is the latest to arrive at HnB Towers, the UWOO Y1 from Uwootech.
