So, Does Heated Tobacco Burn?

Words like burn, combustion, vapor and temperature control are bandied about all the time. It can help to go back to basics with a quick look at the three most popular styles of ‘smoking’ that dominate tobacco enjoyment today:

• Cigarettes – these have been around for decades. What temperature does tobacco burn at, is the thing to think about? On average, cigarette tobacco temperature reaches 800°C when you light one. The tobacco and its wrapping paper burn down and that process of tobacco combustion produces the strong smell, smoke, and ash you’re probably familiar with.

• Vaping devices – there’s an irony to the fact that these were the first products described as an alternative to smoking because they don’t actually use any tobacco. Vaping, in fact, is an umbrella phrase for all sorts of things, from e-cigarettes to mods and pods, all of which work with e-liquids.
  
  So, what is temperature control vaping? This is a tech solution generally used by experienced vapers so that you can set your own temperature limits anywhere between 100°C to 315°C.
