VIRTO Sticks for GLO Hilo: Complete Flavor Guide

What Are VIRTO Sticks?

VIRTO sticks are tobacco heating consumables manufactured by British American Tobacco (BAT) and designed exclusively for GLO Hilo and GLO Hilo Plus devices. They are not compatible with GLO Hyper series devices. Each stick delivers approximately 20 puffs or around 3.5 minutes of use.

VIRTO is a focused product line — five distinct tobacco variants, each with a clear character. VIRTO does not include capsule or Click variants. All flavors are fixed profiles. Explore the full range at Stickhaven VIRTO collection.

Device Compatibility

VIRTO sticks are compatible with:

• GLO Hilo
• GLO Hilo Plus

VIRTO sticks are not compatible with GLO Hyper Pro, GLO Hyper Air, or any IQOS device. If you own a GLO Hyper device, see NEO sticks instead.

All Five VIRTO Variants

VIRTO Classic Tobacco

The core of the VIRTO range. Clean, consistent tobacco character at medium intensity — the reference point for GLO Hilo users. Straightforward and dependable, with a smooth draw from start to finish. The best starting point for new GLO Hilo users or those transitioning from traditional cigarettes.

VIRTO Azure Tobacco

VIRTO Azure Tobacco adds a cool, refreshing menthol dimension to a smooth tobacco base. The menthol is moderate in intensity — present throughout the session without overpowering the tobacco character. Azure is VIRTO’s answer for menthol lovers within the GLO Hilo ecosystem.

VIRTO Balanced Tobacco

VIRTO Balanced Tobacco offers a lighter, more nuanced tobacco character. Less intense than Classic, Balanced emphasizes smoothness and a clean, easy draw. The choice for users who find Classic slightly too assertive but want a genuine tobacco experience rather than a specialty variant.

VIRTO Copper Tobacco

VIRTO Copper Tobacco introduces a richer, warmer dimension. The profile leans toward toasted, slightly nutty notes — more complex than Classic, with satisfying depth. Copper suits users who prefer a fuller tobacco experience and previously smoked full-flavored cigarette brands.

VIRTO Signature Tobacco

VIRTO Signature Tobacco is the flagship variant — a distinctive, carefully crafted blend with a refined, elegant character. Smooth and layered, with subtle secondary dimensions. Signature is the most complex VIRTO variant, designed for discerning tobacco users who appreciate quality and subtlety over intensity.

Choosing the Right VIRTO Variant

All GLO Stick Ranges Compared

GLO splits into two device families, and they do not share sticks. Hyper devices take one set of ranges, Hilo devices another — a stick bought for the wrong family will not fit the chamber. The table below covers every GLO range we stock, so you can check compatibility before ordering.

Hyper or Hilo: which family is yours?

Hyper is the older and more widespread line — Hyper Pro and Hyper Air belong to it, and they take NEO or VEO. Hilo is the newer platform, sold as Hilo and Hilo Plus, and it takes RIVO or VIRTO. Kent is the exception: it is produced for both families, which is why it appears twice in the table.

Tobacco or tobacco-free?

NEO and VIRTO are made with real tobacco leaf. VEO and RIVO contain no tobacco at all — the base is rooibos, a South African plant, processed into a substrate and infused with nicotine. Both types are heated rather than burned, so neither produces ash, but the taste differs noticeably: tobacco ranges keep a recognisable tobacco body, while the rooibos ones lean towards clean mint and fruit.

Capsules explained

A capsule sits in the filter and stays intact until you press it. Before the click you get the base flavour; after it, the capsule releases a second profile — usually mint or fruit. RIVO and VEO are built around this, most of their range carries a capsule. VIRTO has none: all five variants hold a single fixed taste from first draw to last.

Every VIRTO flavour compared

The table below covers the whole range we track, not only what is in stock today. Strength is the tobacco body, cooling is how much menthol or mint you get, and “capsule” means the filter holds a capsule you crush mid-session to switch profile.

Strength and cooling are our own five-point reading of the manufacturer’s descriptions — a guide for choosing, not a laboratory measurement. The table covers the range we track; availability is shown on each product page.
