What happens if I heat a HEETS tobacco stick without using it?
A HEETS tobacco stick lasts up to 14 puffs or 6 minutes, whichever comes first. After this, the device will turn off automatically, whether you take a puff or not. Adult users cannot use a HEETS tobacco stick once the stick has run out.
Why is there so little vapour coming out of the HEETS?
Usually, the problem won’t reside with the HEETS. Instead, you may find a fault in the IQOS device. An accumulation of tobacco residue or dirt could result in low vapour. Using IQOS ORIGINALS Cleaning Tool and Sticks, follow these steps to clean your device:
-
Gently tap the holder on a hard surface, dislodging any tobacco.
-
Open the cleaning tool and insert it into the tobacco holder. Make sure not to twist it.
-
Rotate the cleaning tool three times before removing it without twisting.
-
Tap the holder again, removing any leftover residue.
-
If you need to, use one of the cleaning sticks to remove any remaining tobacco residue. Ensure you do not touch the heating blade.
Do not clean your device whilst it is on or cooling down.

-
Clean the heating blade (you should do this regularly). Don’t know how? Watch a tutorial on our support page.

What to do if I put a HEETS tobacco stick the wrong way round in the holder?
No need to worry. Simply switch on the device and let the blade heat the HEETS. This will soften the filter and make it easier for adult users to remove HEETS without damaging IQOS. Always pull up the cap before removing the stick.
