KT&G launches new HTP pod "MIIX UPTOO" for lil Hybrid heating tobacco device, available in convenience stores nationwide from March 6.

According to a report by Business Korea, South Korean company KT&G has launched its new heated tobacco product (HTP) "lil Hybrid" with a dedicated pod "MIIX UPTOO," which will be available for purchase at convenience stores nationwide in South Korea starting from March 6th.

 

Since its first appearance in 2018, the lil Hybrid series has received high praise from consumers. In particular, in July 2023, KT&G introduced an upgraded version called “lil Hybrid 3.0” featuring three new smoking modes and advanced technology such as a "pause" function.

 

The "Scroll Hybrid 3.0" offers the same performance as the previous version, "Scroll Hybrid 2.0," with various modes such as "Standard Mode," "Classic Mode" with significant impact, and "Casual Mode" that shortens the preheating time to 10 seconds.
