Can a Type-C phone charger charge IQOS ILUMA?
The new ILUMA has many advantages, such as no fire, less sidestream smoke, and no heating element. The only drawback is that it will stop burning when the heating stick's battery is nearly depleted.
If you run out of battery on your IQOS ILUMA or IQOS 3 Duo while traveling, or if the charger that came with it is broken, you might be in trouble.
We will discuss what to do if you don't have an IQOS charger, such as whether you can use a smartphone charger instead of the IQOS charger or if you can buy one at a convenience store.
Differences between genuine IQOS chargers and smartphone chargers
1. The amperage of IQOS chargers and smartphone chargers is different.
Currently, the charging ports of IQOS and smartphones like iPhone and Android are mostly Type-C, with some being MicroUSB.
Although they can all connect for charging, the amperage is different.
If you check the output of a genuine IQOS charger, it shows 5V/2A.
This means that when charging IQOS, it uses a current of 2A and a voltage of 5V.
In other words, if you use a smartphone charger to charge IQOS, the voltage is the same, but the current may not be sufficient.
Chargers for precision devices and AC adapters are usually designed to supply power to devices at optimal voltage and power for their operation.
Therefore, using a smartphone charger to charge IQOS may result in insufficient current, preventing it from charging, and there is a risk of damaging the device due to unexpected current levels.
