IQOS is a heat-not-burn tobacco device designed to offer a smoke-free alternative to traditional cigarettes. Unlike vaping, which uses e-liquids, IQOS heats real tobacco in HEETS sticks, delivering a familiar taste with fewer harmful chemicals. This guide will take you through everything you need to know about using HEETS with your IQOS device, making it easy to get started.

Getting Started: Charging Your IQOS Device

Before using your IQOS, ensure it is fully charged. The device consists of two main parts: the holder, which heats the HEETS stick, and the pocket charger, which recharges the holder after each use.

To charge, connect the pocket charger to a power source using the USB cable provided. A full charge takes about 90 minutes. Once the charger is ready, insert the holder into it and wait until the indicator light signals a full charge. This ensures uninterrupted use throughout the day.

Inserting and Using HEETS

Once the holder is fully charged, you are ready to insert a HEETS stick. Take a stick and gently slide it into the holder without twisting or forcing it. The tobacco-filled end should go in first, while the filter stays outside.

To begin the heating process, press and hold the power button on the holder. The light will flash, indicating that the device is warming up. After about 20 seconds, the light will turn solid, signaling that the IQOS is ready to use.

Take slow, steady puffs for the best experience. Each HEETS stick lasts for about six minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first. The device will vibrate and the light will blink when only two puffs remain, letting you know the session is ending.

Removing and Disposing of the Used HEETS Stick

Once your session is over, remove the used HEETS stick carefully. Open the cap of the holder slightly and pull the stick out. Avoid twisting it, as this could leave tobacco residue inside. Dispose of the used stick responsibly.

If you plan to use another HEETS stick, place the holder back in the pocket charger for a quick recharge before the next session.

Keeping Your IQOS Clean

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining good performance and flavor. Over time, tobacco residue can build up inside the holder, affecting taste and functionality.

To clean your IQOS:

• Let the holder cool down before cleaning.
• Use the provided cleaning tool to remove any loose residue.
• For a deeper clean, use IQOS cleaning sticks to gently wipe the heating blade and inner chamber.

Cleaning the device after every five to ten HEETS sticks will help keep it in top condition.

Key Benefits of Using IQOS with HEETS

• Reduced Odor – Unlike cigarettes, IQOS does not produce strong smoke or lingering smells.
• No Ash or Mess – Since HEETS are heated, not burned, there is no ash.
• Fewer Harmful Chemicals – Heating tobacco instead of burning it results in lower exposure to harmful substances.
• Smooth and Consistent Taste – IQOS provides a real tobacco flavor without the harshness of combustion.
• More Discreet – Produces light vapor that dissipates quickly, making it more convenient for indoor and public use.
• Variety of Flavors – HEETS are available in different strengths and flavors to suit individual preferences.

By following these steps—charging, inserting HEETS, using the device correctly, and maintaining regular cleaning—you will enjoy a smooth and satisfying experience every time. If you are just starting out, experiment with different HEETS flavors to find the one that best suits your taste.
