2. Make sure your pocket charger is charged enough to fully charge the holder.

3. Leave the Holder to charge, until at least one Holder’s status light turns solid white on the Pocket Charger.

Lights on holder not turning ON

After swiping up, are your holder lights not turning ON? Here’s what to do to resolve the no lights issue on the holder:

1. Check whether the Pocket Charger is charged for at least one heating cycle. To identify this, at least one solid white light will turn on.

2. Clean the contacts between the holder and the Pocket Charger.

3. Place the holder inside the pocket charger – ensure it is placed correctly – and leave the holder until at least one of the holder lights on Pocket Charger turns solid white.

4. Remove the holder from the Pocket Charger and press the holder's button (short press).

Pause mode is unavailable

  • The Touch Screen shows whether Pause mode is available or not, as Pause mode is illustrated by 2 short vertical lines at the top of the Touch Screen.

  • Pause Mode can be used once in the first or second consecutive use and can be activated within the first 3 minutes, or 8 puffs of the heating cycle.

  • 1. Swipe down across the entire Touch Screen to activate the Pause mode.

  • If the swiping motion does not cover the entire length of the Touch Screen, pause mode will not be activated.

  • 2. Resume the heating cycle, swipe UP across the entire Touch Screen and wait for the preheating.

  • Pause Mode can last up to 8 minutes. If heating cycle is not resumed, the Holder will automatically switch off.

    FlexPuff not working

    FlexPuff activation and number of puffs depend on individual usage patterns.

    Your device will automatically analyze the consumed volume of aerosol and might activate FlexPuff.

    Thus, the extended heating cycle might not apply to all adult consumers and/or heating cycles.

    When Pause is used FlexPuff cannot be activated.

    If Flexpuff will be activated, then you will be granted with 4 extra puffs, that can be used still within up to 6min heating cycle duration.
