When you buy an IQOS, you want it to last and perform at its best for as long as possible. Regular maintenance is key to that. Whether you’re new to IQOS or have been using it for a while, this guide will walk you through the essentials.
Why IQOS Maintenance Matters
IQOS is a premium smoking alternative that heats tobacco not burns it. Like any device, proper care is important to keep it in top shape. Without cleaning, your device can experience problems like poor flavor, reduced battery life or even heating issues. Want to make sure your IQOS stays in great condition? A little maintenance goes a long way.
Understand Your IQOS: A Quick Breakdown
Before we dive into the cleaning process, let’s take a look at the parts of your IQOS system:
- IQOS Holder: Where you insert the Terea Heets and it’s heated. Keep this part clean for even heating and great flavor.
- IQOS Charger: Powers your holder. Without it, your device won’t work so maintaining this is just as important as cleaning the holder.
- Terea Heets: The tobacco sticks specifically made for IQOS that you insert into the holder. Keeping your device clean ensures the Terea Heets burn properly for the best taste.
Step by Step Cleaning Guide for Beginners & Experts
Cleaning your IQOS doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re new to the system or have been using it for a while, follow these simple steps and you’ll be good to go.
How to Clean the Heating Chamber
The heating chamber is where the magic happens – the tobacco in your Terea Heets is heated here. Over time this area can build up with tobacco residue which can affect the taste and efficiency.
- Why it’s important: A clean heating chamber gives you that clean, rich flavor from your Terea Heets. It also prevents overheating issues.
- Cleaning steps:
- Turn off your device and let it cool down.
- Use the provided brush or cleaning tool to gently remove any tobacco residue.
- For a deeper clean use a soft cloth to wipe the chamber, no chemicals.
Cleaning IQOS Holder
The holder is where you’ll see most of the residue buildup so cleaning regularly is important.
- Quick clean steps:
- Remove the Terea Heets and let the holder cool.
- Use a soft brush or the cleaning wipes that come with your IQOS kit to clean the inside of the holder.
- For a deeper clean the IQOS Cleaning Kit (available on their website) has everything you need for the job.
Charger Care
Charger care is just as important to keep your device always ready.
- How to clean:
- Unplug the charger and wipe with dry cloth to remove dust.
- Use soft brush to clean the charging port. Be gentle to avoid damaging the connectors.
- Store your charger in dry, cool place to avoid wear.
Advanced Maintenance: Keep Your Device in Prime
Once you have the basics covered, here are a few more advanced maintenance tips to keep your device running like new.
Battery Health Tips
Proper battery care is key to keep your IQOS device working efficiently.
- Maximize battery life:
- Charge when between 20-30% to avoid deep discharges.
- Don’t leave your device plugged overnight if you can. This helps in long run.
- Store your IQOS in cool place when not in use as high temperatures can harm the battery.
Replacing Cleaning Sticks
Cleaning sticks are part of your routine maintenance and over time they may wear out. When that happens, replacing them will ensure your cleaning process continues to be effective.
- When to replace: If cleaning sticks seem ineffective or frayed, it’s time to replace.
- How to replace: You can buy new cleaning sticks from IQOS or authorized retailers to ensure you’re using the right product for your device.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with regular maintenance, problems can arise. Here’s how to troubleshoot some common issues with your IQOS device:
- Weak heat or no heat: Clean the heating chamber thoroughly and check the battery. If the problem persists, it may be an internal malfunction.
- Device not charging: Inspect the charging port and make sure it’s dust and grime free. If necessary try using different charger or power source to rule out the charger as the issue.
How Often Should You Clean Your IQOS?
Frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use your IQOS. For light users, once a week is enough. For heavy users, clean more often.
- Light users: Clean once a week, focus on the heating chamber and holder.
- Heavy users: Clean after every 20-30 uses, especially the holder and charging port.
Pro Tips for Your IQOS Device
To keep your IQOS device in top condition here are a few pro tips:
- Be gentle: Don’t drop or rough handle your device. Treat it like it’s precious.
- Store properly: When not in use, store your IQOS device in cool, dry place. The IQOS Carrying Case is a great option to store your device.
- Don’t overfill the holder: Use one Terea Heets at a time. This ensures proper heating and reduces stress to the device.
When to Get Help
Sometimes, no amount of cleaning will fix your device and it’s time to call in the experts.
- When to get help: If your device is malfunctioning, like overheating or charging issues, then it needs servicing.
- Where to get help: Visit an authorized IQOS service center or contact customer support through IQOS Dubai website.
