    Instead of the previous dry cleaning sticks, we have introduced a new, moistened version, which makes the cleaning of IQOS device even easier. Regular cleaning of the CAP and heating chamber with cleaning sticks makes the tobacco vapor emission adequate and ensures that the tobacco stick always provides consistent tobacco taste from the first puff to the last one. Thanks to regular cleaning, you can continue use your device without any problems.
