How Often Should You Clean LIL PLUS and IQOS
Tar can also build up inside heated tobacco devices, so regular cleaning is necessary. Cleaning helps restore flavor and extend device life; otherwise residue can affect taste and even cause short circuits.
In heated tobacco devices, heating can also produce tar inside the machine. Therefore, necessary cleaning is essential; cleaning the device can correct the flavor and extend the lifespan of your device. If there is tar inside the machine and you do not clean it, there will be an odor, and the flavor of the tobacco you smoke may change slightly. When tar enters the machine, it can cause a short circuit on the motherboard, which can severely damage it.
After explaining why it is necessary to clean the device, let's get to the point. Generally, the LIL PLUS needs to be cleaned after half a pack of tobacco, while IQOS officially claims that it requires cleaning after a full pack, which is 20 sticks. To briefly explain why LIL PLUS needs to be cleaned after half a pack, it is mainly because LIL PLUS operates at a higher temperature than IQOS, so it feels like there is more smoke. Additionally, it uses a needle-style heating method for a longer time, resulting in more e-liquid being vaporized, hence the need for cleaning after half a pack. In any case, for your flavor and device lifespan, it is better to clean more often.
