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. :-)
We have been sent quite a few heat not burn/heated tobacco devices from our great friends at www.uwootech.com over in China in the past couple of years, and we have always found them to be very dependable devices. They have just sent us another one to take a good look at; the Uwoo Y2.
Previous Uwootech devices we have reviewed in the past couple of years here on our website are the Uwoo Y1, the Uwoo YM and the Uwoo Yowo.
The Ploom S 20 is a high quality heated tobacco device made by JTI (Japan Tobacco International.) The company was formed in 1999 and is one of the largest in its field.
This handheld device uses an external heating method that Ploom have called HeatFlow technology. The device is fed with small tobacco sticks that are called EVO. EVO tobacco sticks use something called ActivBlend which is a special process whereby they use two different cuts of tobacco; microground and fine cut. This creates an effective release of flavour.
The Ploom S 20 device is available in three finishes (Matt Black, Soft Champagne and Steel Silver) and the EVO tobacco sticks are available in four flavours; Bronze, Emerald, Purple and Sepia.
In January 2020, we reviewed the SLS CP from Shenzhen Changneng Huike Technology Limited Co. Ltd and we found that it came very close to taking the heat-not-burn crown from IQOS. For a long time between then and now, the SLS CP became my go-to device. It really is that good. With such success under their belt, I was more than a little excited to get my hands on the latest device from SLS.
