Understanding the Difference in Batteries Between IQOS Devices and Electronic Cigarettes
The battery in IQOS devices is a crucial element that needs to be well-maintained. Learn how to take care of the IQOS device battery and the differences compared to other electronic cigarette batteries for optimal performance.
First Step Charging the IQOS ILUMA Device:
1. Before using your IQOS device for the first time, fully charge it using the Power Adapter and Charging Cable for around 135 minutes. Afterwards, check the battery level by pressing the button on your IQOS ILUMA charger. If the battery level is low, use the official IQOS power adapter to charge the Pocket Charger.
2. Press the button on the top of the Pocket Charger for 4 seconds to turn the device on or off. Then, check the status lights on your IQOS ILUMA Holder to see how many uses you have. Two lights indicate a fully charged Holder (ready for two uses), one light means there is one use left, and no lights indicate the Holder needs charging with the Pocket Charger.
3. Insert the TEREA™ tobacco stick slowly. Autostart will activate after the TEREA™ stick is inserted. If Autostart is disabled, you can press the button on the Holder to initiate usage. One vibration and a slowly blinking light indicate the start of the TEREA™ tobacco stick heating process. Two vibrations and a fully lit light mean the Holder is ready for use.
4. When you feel two vibrations again, your IQOS time is almost up (30 seconds or 2 puffs remaining). Remove the TEREA™ tobacco stick and replace it with a new one for the next use. Remember, one lit light means one use remains, so you need to charge the Holder with the Pocket Charger after the next use.
5. While the Holder is in the Pocket Charger, there are two round lights indicating the Holder's status. When the round light blinks white, it indicates that the Holder is being charged. One or two fully lit round lights on the Pocket Charger indicate how many uses are available.
To charge the IQOS ILUMA for the next use, follow the instructions below:
1. Press the button on your IQOS ILUMA Pocket Charger to check the battery level. If the bottom of the light strip blinks yellow three times, it means the battery level is low. Charge the Pocket Charger with the official power adapter. Keep in mind that it may take up to 20 minutes for the light to turn on when the battery is empty. When the status bar is fully lit, it means your device is fully charged and can be used for up to 20 sessions.
2. Check the status lights on your IQOS ILUMA Holder. Two round lights mean your Holder is fully charged and ready for two uses. One light means there is one use left. If the bottom light blinks yellow three times, you need to recharge the Holder.
3. Remove the TEREA™ tobacco stick and insert the Holder into the Pocket Charger. Two round lights on the Pocket Charger indicate the number of available uses.
4. Maintain the battery life of the IQOS ILUMA by charging the Pocket Charger using the official IQOS power adapter. For those looking to switch to IQOS devices, you can find IQOS ILUMA and TEREA™ tobacco sticks in the online store.
Understanding Electronic Cigarette Batteries
Batteries in electronic cigarettes use lithium-based batteries that last for several hours. Electronic cigarette batteries are usually designed specifically to support a particular device. Therefore, these batteries can only be used in devices they are designed for. Some electronic cigarettes are equipped with an integral LED that activates when the battery is low. In some devices, the LED will flash if the battery power starts to weaken.
Types of Batteries in Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are designed with two types of batteries: automatic or manual. Automatic batteries in electronic cigarettes generally come with a pressure sensor that lights up when it detects usage. For manual batteries, there is usually a button on the electronic cigarette device that can be pressed to activate it. Battery types are grouped by size, where automatic batteries are smaller than manual batteries.
Batteries in electronic cigarettes have different capacities, power outputs, and currents. However, there are two types of batteries commonly used in electronic cigarettes.
1. Internal Batteries: Generally, these batteries are integrated into an electronic cigarette device. This type of battery does not require installation as it is already integrated. Typically, this type of battery requires a shorter charging time.
2. External Batteries: This type of battery is usually found in devices that require more power. Generally, these batteries have a longer lifespan than internal batteries.
When choosing smoke-free devices, it is important to research thoroughly. You can search for high-quality and safe products according to your needs. Remember, PMI smoke-free products are not risk-free and contain nicotine, which can be addictive. However, switching to smoke-free products is a better option than continuing to smoke.
