No fit or air flow?

Your tobacco or nicotine SMARTCORE sticks may need a check.

1

Wait for your device to cool down. Slide your IQOS ILUMA ONE cap upwards to remove it.

2

Check the tobacco or nicotine SMARTCORE stick was not used twice and ensure it was inserted correctly as per the instructions.

3

Make sure you store your tobacco or nicotine SMARTCORE sticks in a dry, non-humid environment, just to keep the aerosol quality unaffected.

Do not use SMARTCORE sticks with previous IQOS™ generations, as this may cause damage to your device. SMARTCORE sticks contain a metal part. Keep out of reach of children to prevent disassembly or ingestion.
