Pause Mode is unavailable

As a first step, ensure that Performance Mode and Pause Mode are activated in the IQOS APP.

• 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 in Performance Mode and can be activated within the first 3 minutes, or 8 puffs of the experience.

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 experience, swipe UP across the entire Touch Screen and wait for the preheating.

• Pause Mode can last up to 8 minutes. If experience 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 experience might not apply to all adult consumers and/or experiences. 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 experience duration. Visit our Self-diagnostics to get the support you need.
