Filling Heets yourself – is that really possible?

You may have already thought about rolling your own Heets to save money or enjoy a more individual smoking experience. The idea sounds tempting: making your own Heets and avoiding the costs of the finished sticks. But there is a catch that many people don't know about. In this article, we answer the question: Can you roll your own Heets? And if not, what alternatives are there?

What are Heets actually?

Heets are the specially designed tobacco sticks used in the IQOS heater. They are made from a mixture of compressed tobacco and other materials that provide an optimal smoking experience. Unlike regular cigarettes, the tobacco is not burned but heated to a low temperature to produce the smoke. This means that the shape, density and material of the Heets are precisely matched - and this makes them difficult to replicate yourself.

Can you stuff Heets yourself?

Unfortunately, the short answer is: No, you cannot roll Heets yourself. Heets are technically and structurally designed to work specifically for the IQOS heating system. The tobacco is ground very finely and pressed into the tube in a special way to guarantee the optimal smoking experience. A normal cigarette rolling machine is not sufficient here, and there are currently no devices that can produce Heets exactly as required for IQOS.

Why is that?

Heets are not traditional cigarettes that can simply be filled with tobacco and a tube. The special technology behind Heets ensures that they work optimally when heated in the IQOS system. The consistency of the tobacco, the packaging and the filter are precisely matched to ensure a consistent draw and correct vaporization. If you tried to fill Heets with a regular filling device, they would not work properly in the IQOS and the smoking experience would be impaired.

The better alternative: Electric cigarette rolling machine

Even if it is not possible to roll your own Heets, there is good news: you can use an electric cigarette rolling machine to make your own conventional cigarettes and save money in the process. An electric rolling machine allows you to roll your own cigarettes quickly and easily - with the tobacco of your choice and in the quantity that you like best.

Electric cigarette rolling machines are easy to use and ensure consistent results. All you have to do is fill in the tobacco, attach the tube and the machine does the rest. Within a few seconds you will have perfectly rolled cigarettes. This option is not only cheaper, but also more practical if you value flexibility and individuality.

Conclusion: Filling Heets yourself – Unfortunately not possible

Although the idea of rolling your own Heets is tempting, it doesn't work due to the special design of the sticks. The better alternative is to switch to an electric cigarette rolling machine if you are looking for a cost-effective and flexible way to customize your smoking experience. This way you can use the tobacco and tubes of your choice and make cigarettes exactly to your taste.

Investing in an electric cigarette filling machine is worth it in the long run – you save money and at the same time have the freedom to choose your tobacco individually!
