Is the heating tobacco stick not fitting or does it have poor aerosol quality?

Make sure the heating tobacco stick wasn't accidentally used twice. Or check that it's not just an individual stick that isn't fitting properly.
Ensure the heating tobacco stick was inserted correctly as per the user guide instructions.
Packs should not be stored in an environment which is too humid or too dry. Doing so can have an effect on the aerosol quality.
