Inhalation experience duration is less than what it is designed for
This might be an issue caused by wrong usage
BONDS by IQOS device is designed to be used only with BLENDS tobacco stick
The duration of the experience with BONDS by IQOS™ is 4 min
The way you puff impacts how long your BLENDS will last.
BLENDS tobacco sticks are designed for single use; used tobacco sticks have a heat trace in the middle section.
CONFIRM OR TEST TOGETHER WITH THE CONSUMER:
Check if BLENDS tobacco stick was not accidentally used twice. Used sticks have a very clear heat trace in the middle section once used.
Ensure BLENDS tobacco stick was inserted correctly. There are filters on both sides, but you need to have the mouthpiece filter placed outside the device for it to function correctly.
Check if this is an isolated issues with an individual BLENDS; try a new BLENDS tobacco stick
Check if the BLENDS tobacco stick were properly stored. Storing them in an environment which is too humid or too dry can have an impact on the quality of BLENDS tobacco stick.
Ask if the customer puffs slowly or quickly. If the customer puffs quickly: Drawing gently, and taking longer breaks between the puffs, allow the heater to properly heat the tobacco and generate aerosol.
DECIDE:
According to the above steps and the consumer’s claim, make the decision;
a. Inhalation delivery duration is within acceptable limits, therefore, DO NOT replace.
b. Inhalation delivery duration is out of acceptable limits. Proceed with the next step communication
Inhalation experience duration is less than what it is designed for
1. BONDS by IQOS™ device with BLENDS tobacco sticks are designed to provide an experience of 4 mins
2. The duration of the experience (or its perception) may be influenced by a number of factors:
• Insufficient heating
Using the device during pre-heating phase: the device has to pre-heat for around 30 sec to allow for aerosol creation
Short/no time between the puffs: leaving time between puffs allows the heater to properly heat the tobacco and generate aerosol
• Tobacco stick issue
Accidental reuse of BLENDS stick-> Check the consumable was not accidentally used twice. Used sticks have a very clear heat trace in the middle section once used.
Ensure the consumable was inserted correctly. There are filters on both sides, but you need to have the mouthpiece filter placed outside the device for it to function correctly.
There could be an issue with an individual tobacco stick. If this is an isolated issues with an individual BLENDS, try a new BLENDS consumable
Check if BLENDs tobacco sticks were properly stored. Storing them in an environment which is too humid or too dry can have an effect on the quality of the experience.
• Battery performance degradation
Over time natural battery degradation can contribute to the reduction of your experience. This also depends on the environmental conditions. This is not covered in warranty.
3. Status light indicates the remaining experience time:
4 LEDs ON - 4 min left
3 LEDs ON - 3 min left
2 LEDs ON - 2 min left
1 LED ON - 1 min left
- To Check if the situation is an isolated case let’s try the following actions - Was the issue experienced with all BLENDS sticks or only one? If it was just one, it’s likely to be an issue with the consumable and not the device.
- However, Our customer's satisfaction is our top priority.
- Let’s check if your device is still under warranty, if so, we may have the possibility to replace your device.
