Does 12,000 mean TEQ always lasts longer?

TEQ has the higher advertised maximum, but puff capacity and calendar days are not the same measurement. Someone taking frequent, long draws from TEQ may finish it sooner than someone using Ingot less often.

Use the numbers to compare nominal capacity. Do not treat them as guaranteed personal results.

How to make the decision in three steps

Pick the role

Choose balance for Ingot or higher capacity for TEQ.

Check the flavour

Confirm the exact model currently offers a profile you will enjoy.

Compare the final value

Review current price, quantity and delivered total rather than puff count alone.

Our honest verdict

If we had to recommend one model to an undecided buyer, we would choose Ingot 9000. It creates the clearest balance and asks for fewer assumptions about what the buyer values.

If the buyer specifically says capacity matters most, we would choose TEQ 12000. That is the advantage it communicates most clearly.

This is more useful than calling one model universally better. Ingot and TEQ solve two different buying priorities.
