Is the SMARTCORE STICK not fitting or does it have poor aerosol quality?

  1. Make sure the SMARTCORE STICK wasn't accidentally used twice or check that it's not just an individual SMARTCORE STICK that isn't fitting properly. Isolated cases of SMARTCORE STICKS not fitting occur very infrequently and it's almost never caused by a fault in the device.
  2. Ensure the SMARTCORE STICK was inserted correctly as per the user guide instructions. 
  3. SMARTCORE 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.
