Heat Not Burn Technology
-
What kind of product is IQOS?
IQOS is an alternative for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke and want to enjoy real tobacco taste without many of the inconveniences of cigarettes, such as ash or smoke. It is not for people who have quit smoking or have never smoked.
IQOS is our most advanced smoke-free product that uses sophisticated electronics to heat tobacco instead of burning it to release a flavourful nicotine containing vapour.
IQOS and HEETS tobacco sticks are not for minors. Please refer to Important Information section for details.-
Will IQOS help me quit smoking?
No. IQOS is not a smoking cessation device or intended as a device to quit smoking. If you are concerned about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco use altogether.
-
Does IQOS produce smoke?
No, IQOS does not produce smoke because it does not burn tobacco. It generates a tobacco vapour that is what you see when using IQOS.
-
What is the difference between cigarettes and IQOS?
IQOS is a better alternative to smoking because it heats tobacco instead of burning it. It provides real tobacco taste without fire, ash or cigarette smoke, and less smell. IQOS generates a nicotine containing tobacco vapour with on average 90% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarette smoke. Switching completely to IQOS is likely to present less risk to your health than continuing to smoke. However, IQOS is not risk-free and is addictive. If you are concerned about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.
-
Can I use cigarettes with IQOS devices?
No you should not. IQOS device has been designed to work exclusively with HEETS tobacco sticks, and vice versa.
It is only by using both together that you can take full advantage of the benefits that the system provides and that have been proven by PMI Science. All our studies are based on the use of IQOS with HEETS tobacco sticks.-
Is using IQOS safe/risk free?
No. IQOS is not risk free. Although the level of harmful chemicals generated by IQOS is reduced by 90% on average, there are still some harmful chemicals. Moreover, HEETS tobacco sticks contain nicotine, which is addictive.
This being said, IQOS is a better choice than smoking because, based on the scientific evidence we have to date, switching completely to IQOS is likely to present less risk to your health compared to continuing to smoke.
If you are concerned about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.

IQOS MESH
-
What is IQOS MESH?
IQOS MESH™ is a capsule based vaping product.
Unique IQOS MESH™ Heating Technology delivers a consistent vape every time because it is designed to prevent overheating or burnt liquid.
Because we know that convenience is as important as experience, we ensured that you can use your IQOS MESH™ device without having to press a button.-
What is the difference between IQOS MESH and traditional e-cigarette devices?
Unlike most e-cigarette devices that use a wick and coil heating element, IQOS MESH™ contains a German-made MESH™ heater that is in constant contact with the e-liquid for a consistent vaping experience.
Every IQOS MESH™ battery includes 3 protection levels designed to prevent overheating, short circuiting and pressure build-up.-
How does the device know when I run low on e-liquid?
The IQOS MESH device is equipped with a Low Liquid Detection system that automatically shuts off the heating element when the e-liquid in the capsule is too low for it to operate correctly. This eliminates potential e-liquid overheating, contributing to optimal vapour delivery.
A Red status LED light indicates that the capsule is nearly empty and must be replaced.-
Does IQOS MESH comply with EU Safety requirements?
The IQOS MESH device complies with EU consumer electronic safety requirements indicated by the “CE" (European Conformity) symbols on the packaging.

Why can’t I start the tobacco session?
If you have issues starting your session, there might be several reasons, such as:
- Lid was closed when button was pressed
- Lid was opened while charging
- The device is out of battery
- Device malfunction
Please, check the following:
- Ensure the cap is fully closed -> Remove the cap completely and gently place it back on, without forcing it down
- Ensure the lid is fully opened prior to pressing the button to start the heating
- Ensure the blade is cleaned and there is no tobacco residue that prevents the cap from being fully closed -> Clean both the design and the cap
- Ensure the device is turned ON and that the Battery Status LEDs has at least one LED staying solid white (not pulsing)
- Connect to an electrical outlet with the lid closed (no laptop USB points) for at least 30 seconds (no tobacco stick inserted)
- Then verify if the device functions by opening the lid and pressing for 2 seconds
- If still no lights show, turn on, keep the device charging for 30 minutes
If none of the above have resolved the issue, please contact Customer Support.
