How to use the IQOS 3 device

By Sarah Sharkey

 

How? What? Why? Where? …. if there’s anything to do with IQOS heat not burn products that you’re unsure about, this ‘How To’ guide should put a stop to those furrowed brows.

 

How to use IQOS 3

Hold down the button on the charger for four seconds to switch your device on. Open the door and slot in the charger. The small light flashing shows it’s charging up. When done, remove the holder and carefully insert the HEETS tobacco stick without twisting it.

Press and hold the button. You’ll feel one vibration and see the light slowly pulse. Feel two vibrations and see the light stay white; your IQOS is ready.

30 seconds before the end of the session, you’ll feel two vibrations and the light will dim. Pull the cap, take out the used HEETS, wait a few moments and recharge the holder all over again.

 

How to remove HEETS from the device

Never take the HEETS tobacco stick out directly otherwise tobacco stays inside the heating blade. Always slide the cap on the holder upwards, then gently pull the HEETS tobacco stick out.

 

How to charge IQOS

Recently upgraded to IQOS 3? The IQOS 3 USB cable has a USB-C port and is different to the one for our older IQOS 2.4/2.4 Plus models. Always use the AC Power Adaptor and USB cable that came with your IQOS 3.

It takes about 120 minutes to fully charge the IQOS 3 pocket charger from an electrical socket (quicker than with your laptop), 75 minutes for IQOS 3 MULTI and 90 minutes for the IQOS 2.4 Plus.

You can then use the holder up to 20 times (10 times if it’s the IQOS 3 MULTI).

 

How to know if IQOS is fully charged

Press the pocket charger button for a second to check. One LED means it’s time to charge; four LEDS show it’s charged by over 75%.

If the lights stay white then flash three times before switching off, you’re charged up and good to go.

How to reset your IQOS device

With IQOS 3 and IQOS 3 MULTI, device press down the pocket charger button for 10 seconds then let go. When the battery status light fades in and out, it’s done.

With the IQOS 2.4 Plus, press and release the Bluetooth and power buttons together until all the lights blink briefly.

How to clean the IQOS blade

Start by letting the IQOS holder cool down. Now take the cap off (it’s a good idea to get rid of any remaining tobacco in this by tapping it a few times). Put the long brush from the IQOS cleaning device in the holder and turn it a couple of times (one way only).

To be 110% sure, wipe an IQOS cleaning stick around the heating blade as well.

If the heating area looks grey or white afterwards, job done.

 

How often to clean IQOS

Ideally, you should do so every time you finish a pack of HEETS. If tobacco settles at the bottom of the blade, the tobacco taste and device charging time can change and your HEETS can seem too hot.
