IQOS 2.4 Plus

An IQOS Holder has one LED light which flashes either white or red:
Solid white means that you can begin your IQOS experience. A blinking IQOS white light or IQOS blinking white light indicates that your HEET stick is heating up, which takes about 20 seconds.

A solid IQOS red light means that your experience is almost over. Blinking red means that the holder is not charged, so get ready to charge up your IQOS.

IQOS red light meaning: Solid red means that your Holder has completely discharged. To charge it, place the Holder in the Pocket Charger and wait until it's full (this should take around five minutes). A blinking IQOS red light indicates that your Holder is malfunctioning.

IQOS 2.4 Plus Pocket Charger
An IQOS Pocket Charger has three LEDs:

IQOS Holder Battery Status LED: Solid white indicates that your device is fully charged, while blinking white indicates that your device is charging. A blinking IQOS red light means that your device has poor contact with the charger. If the IQOS red light is blinking, or IQOS Red light flashing battery then your charger may be malfunctioning.

IQOS Pocket Charger Battery Status LED: Solid white means that the Pocket Charger is fully charged, while a blinking IQOS white light or IQOS white light blinking indicates that it’s still charging. If just one of the LED lights remains white, your device will be out of charge soon.

There are currently sold three versions of IQOS, the older IQOS 2.4, and the newest IQOS 3 and IQOS Multi. New versions have improved battery usage and battery life. You can find all the information needed in the Reviews section. Also, there are many articled about it in the IQOS 3 section.

IQOS 3.0 and MULTI

The two most recent versions of IQOS, branded as 3.0 and MULTI with re-use. Both versions were introduced in attractive metallic colors. The first one resembles the current version, but the charging time has been shortened by 15%, the novelty will be the IQOS Multi with re-use, which aims to take down the competing GLO.

IQOS 3.0

The successor to the current version of 2.4 Plus comes with brand 3.0 and in several attractive colors, mostly gold. The concept of a separate holder has been preserved, but the charger is inserted from the side, it will not be necessary to seek the right angle as it is held by a magnet. Thanks to this, the new IQOS will not be compatible with the previous accessories. The other is a charger with a modern USB-C connector. The charging time was shortened by 15% and the duration has been doubled by 24.700 cycles. The holder will still need to be charged after each use, but its charging has also been cut down to 3 and a half minutes.

The new IQOS 3 now only has one button, because Bluetooth has probably been removed due to insufficient usage, which we probably will not regret because the application has never been officially released for download (if you are interested.

IQOS 3 comes in four basic colors - gold, blue, black and white, and not only the top cover but also the charger cover is replaceable so you can come up with your own color variation which suits you best.

IQOS 3 Multi

Absolute innovation comes with IQOS 3 Multi with re-use. This is a single piece of equipment into which the HEETS cartridge is directly inserted and can be used repeatedly for up to 10 uses. Clearly developed as a reaction to competitive GLO to eliminate its only benefit without having to wait for recharging. Its size has been reduced so it would fit in the hand perfectly. Due to the smaller size, it has a smaller battery so a faster USB-C charging had to be added.

What are HEETS and HeatSticks?

HEETS, also known as HeatSticks in some markets, is a specially designed product for exclusive use with the IQOS holder.

What is IQOS MESH?
IQOS MESH is our next generation e-vapor product that uses a new approach to vapor generation.

Is IQOS warm or IQOS not pulling?

Especially in winter, but also during the cold summer nights, the holder can easily cool down, it is very sensitive to temperature changes. Take it in your hand and, if it's cold, warm it up and then try charging it again.

If the holder is properly plugged in, the cover is closed and the IQOS 3 Red light is on, connect the charging base. Sometimes it signals one or two dots, but it is already exhausted.
Try resetting both IQOS parts, reset the charging base by pressing the Bluetooth button and the switch, reset the holder after discharging by holding down the button for a long time until it goes out.
Clean the holder at the bottom, the touchpads get dirty sometimes and do not fit properly on the connectors, with plain rubber for example. You can blow up the base where there may be dirt, or dust.
The last advice sounds strange. Wait until you will have withdrawal symptoms. I know a lot of examples where the device start works normally after a few minutes (sometimes hours), and then it works simply as if nothing has happened.

Freeze IQOS? We do not recommend it

There are various mad guides on the Internet that you should put IQOS into the freezer, for example. We do not recommend these solutions, IQOS does not like the cold, it damages the battery, and we think it is only wetting the contacts for short time, which will not solve the problem.

IQOS complaint

Nobody wants this last step. But if you are sure, that you checked and tried everything and nothing worked, you should complain the device. The IQOS complaint can be done in branded shops, pop-up stalls, and the Geco or Valmont shops while you wait. IQOS is exchanged for one piece per piece without more fault detection.

Complaints at IQOS brand stores and in pop-up stalls in shopping centers.
Complaints by calling the IQOS Customer Center.
While claiming you just need to have an IQOS device registered to your account, you do not need a bill or a box. Only have one defective device, the worker will fill in the protocol with you, the Complaint Department will later disconnect the original device from your account and attach new ones. The operation takes only a few minutes.

IQOS heating problem | Why isn't my IQOS heating properly?

If the device is dirty your IQOS may not be heating up properly. If too much debris accumulates inside the holder it can prevent the heating blade from making full contact with the HEETS stick, which will result in an unsatisfying HEETS experience. You need clean the device at least once a day. Moreover if the holder is not making contact and engaging properly the device will not heat properly.

The IQOS flashes red and stopped charging, how to fix or claim Does the IQOS charger or holder flash with a red light?

This may be a defect that you remove at home or will need a complaint at the IQOS Store, a sales representative or an IQOS PopUp stand.

IQOS troubleshooting:
The most common error on IQOS is the charging error indicated by the red light on the holder or the charger (On IQOS 3 white flash too). IQOS blinking red maybe due to a malfunction or sometimes you need just reset it, try the above simple steps to find the fault.

How long does one HEET last?

Your HEETS will last approximately 6 minutes.

How many HEETS are in a pack?

There are 20 called HEETS sticks in a pack.

I cannot insert the HEET into the holder.

Make sure that the heating chamber is clear from any debris.

How does IQOS taste?

The taste of menthol is very standard. The taste is simply different. Heated fillings have oddly smell - like going past a bakery, where the baker just tell to the students that they lightly burned the morning rolls in the oven. But from the first moment, the bitterness of burned tar smells and ash are missing. Once you have done this, you will pull out the hot block and drop it into a crystal-clean ashtray. After a minute no smudge, perhaps only the HEETS still resemble baked bread.

How it works without burning

IQOS, abbreviated as I Quit Ordinary items, is a product developed by Philips Morris. The manufacturer himself says he has set himself the goal of reducing the health trouble for his customers.

How to determine the battery status in the holder

The holder of the passionate daily goes through about twenty charges, the battery is frequent charging adjusted. During use, its life will, of course, be shortened. Whether it's okay to find out easily:
Recharge the holder in the IQOS charger
Remove it from the charger and prepare the stopwatch (for example in your mobile phone)
Turn on the empty holder normally without HEETS
Simultaneously activate the stopwatch
Time is measured till full discharge when the holder itself goes out
If the battery is OK, you will reach approximately 5:40 to 6:00 minutes
When the end of battery life approaches, the holder can be used normally, but it starts to blink in red instead of normal white when charging.

The battery in the charger and holder is guaranteed by law for 12 months. IQOS has not been on the market for even a year. Philip Morris has yet solved all of the problems with the instant exchange without any problems. It is not yet clear how the post-warranty service will be solved after a two-year warranty. Experience from abroad suggests that IQOS is exchanged even after the warranty.

The contents of the IQOS sales package
