How does a waterproof IQOS sound to you? Amazing, right?
But the truth is, most IQOS models aren’t designed to handle water. They’re electronic devices, and like all electronics, water is their worst enemy.
That’s why handling them with care is so important. If you want your IQOS to last, keeping it safe from water is essential.
Now, this brings up some common questions: What about cleaning your IQOS? What should you do if the device falls into water? And are there any practical tips to avoid water damage?
Let’s go into the details now!

Possible To Clean IQOS With Water?
Water might seem like the easiest solution, but the quick answer is no. Since it’s an electronic device, water can easily damage its delicate components.
The best way to clean your IQOS device is by using the cleaning tools that come with it.
That said, some parts of your IQOS device can still be cleaned with water, for example:
- Silicone covers can be rinsed under running water.
- Other covers for IQOS and IQOS ILUMA can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Just make sure everything is completely dry before putting them back on your device. If you’re unsure, please refer to the Safety Warnings and Instruction manual that comes with your IQOS. It’ll make your life easier!
What to Do If Your IQOS Falls in Water
Okay, so let’s say accident happens – your IQOS drops into water.
Don’t panic, stay calm, and follow these steps to save your device:
Step (1): Act fast! Quickly take it out of the water. The sooner you do this, the better the chances of saving your IQOS.
Step (2): Turn it off if it’s still on. This is crucial to avoid short circuits.
Step (3): Resist the urge to turn it on or charge it while it’s wet. You don’t want to cause more damage.
Step (4): Let it dry naturally. Find a dry spot and leave it there. Avoid placing it under direct sunlight or using heat sources like hairdryers – those can make things worse.
Step (5): Don’t poke around with tissues or cloths. Inserting anything into the device might push water further in, and that’s the last thing you want.
Step (6): Once you’re confident it’s completely dry, try turning it on to check if it’s still working. Fingers crossed!
If things still seem off or the device isn’t functioning, don’t worry. Reach out to IQOS Support – they’ve got your back.
And remember, the Safety Warnings and Instruction manual is always there to guide you. Sometimes, it’s just about taking the right steps at the right time.
Smart Tips to Avoid Water Damage
Want to keep your IQOS safe from water? Here are some tips to ensure it stays dry:
