Good evening, this is Gen-chan, the administrator of MOCROG.
Since there have already been many similar entries from various bloggers, as well as the previous article on how to use the system, we have decided to list such a current topic as the "Current Series" at the end of the title.
I understand the need for cleaning and I know how to clean! I am not sure if I can be of any help to such people, but I hope I can reach people like my father, who don't read the manual because the words are too small and they don't feel like reading it! I hope this article will be of help to those people who use the product somehow.
It's not too late to learn how to properly clean your Icos.
First, a description of the cleaning set up, features and alternatives, and finally, my main holder.The actual process of cleaning and making it shine.to the following.
If you want to see just how clean it will be and the results, please read from the table of contents below, "Make your Icos Holder Like New!" to see just how clean it is.
I can't say it myself, but it's as clean as new!
Genuine Icos Cleaning Kit Instructions and Usage
When you purchase an Icos starter kit, these are the two things that always come with it.
1.brush(in Japanese history)IQOS Cleaner Brush)
2.cotton swab(in Japanese history)IQOS Cleaning Stick)
Since the official names are long, we will describe them as "brushes" and "cotton swabs.
The general procedure is to roughly remove the dirt with a brush and clean the remaining debris with a cotton swab.
This series of cleaning must be done at the same time that 20 heat sticks (one box) of Icos are smoked.
Be sure to clean the cap, as failure to do so can lead to problems such as not being able to close the cap, sore throats due to the generation of toxic substances, and loss of taste.
1. Use a brush to remove dirt from the Icos holder!
At first glance, the shape does not look like a brush, but if you hold the center of the brush and pull it up and down, it quickly transforms into a brush for caps and blades.
The shorter one is for caps and the longer one is for blades.
Both are easy to use,Simply insert each brush into the connecting surface of the cap and blade and "spin" them around..
The brush has a stick called a cleaning hook stuck in it, so this should be removed.
The only precautions for cleaning brushes are to turn them at an angle and not to use too much force when brushing the blade surface.
Due to the construction of the brush, it will not damage the heating blade if it is inserted vertically and cleaned, but the heating blade is the lifeblood of the ICOS, so please do so carefully.
2. Finish with a cotton swab! Scrubbing blades is dangerous!
Cotton swabs are disposable, with only a small number originally included in the package, so if you use them every time, they will be gone in no time.
However, finishing with a cotton swab makes all the difference in the cleaning result, so it is good to do it every time if you can.
There is no set correct method for cleaning with cotton swabs, so it is OK as long as you can remove any remaining debris or dirt by brushing.
The trick is to put pressure on the black plate (outside) that covers the area around the blade and to be gentle when cleaning the sides of the blade.
But wait a minute! You can do it any way you want, but there is one thing you should not do!
It is,Heating bladeis to scrub the area with a cotton swab..
These heating blades are very easily broken, especially if the flat side of the blade is pressed from the front.
To add to this, scrubbing can also cause the coating on the heating blades to peel off, leading to malfunctions.
Do not touch the blades, as the automatic heating and cleaning described below will clean them!
Automatic heating and cleaning
Older Icos (such as the 2.4) had a "heat cleaning" button, but in the now widespread IQOS 2.4Plus, that button is gone.
The reason is that with the current Icos, the heating and cleaning process works automatically, without having to specifically press a button to perform the heating and cleaning process.
This function acts primarily on the heating blades, heating them while they are stored in the charger to evaporate moisture and so on,It is effective in removing burning debris, etc. left on the blade..
The only drawback is that you can't choose your own timing....
If you also have an older model Icos, you can do a "manual" heat cleaning by pressing a button, so you can store it in the older model and do a manual heat cleaning when you want to clean it.
How to substitute commercially available cotton swabs
There are three ways to clean an ICOS holder: brushing, swabbing, and heating cleaning to make it shiny.
The tricky part is the cotton swabs, and they are disposable,The number of bottles included in the package would not even last a month.I guess so.
It is available at IQOS stores and convenience stores, but we do not recommend it because it is unnecessarily expensive.
So how do you perform a cotton swab cleaning? That is, by using commercially available cotton swabs as a substitute.
However, this is not an officially recommended method, so please consider whether or not to try it at your own discretion.
What to prepare
Just two things: baby cotton swabs and anhydrous ethanol!
Anhydrous ethanol, in particular, has many uses besides Icos and is the strongest in terms of cosmetics, so get it at a pharmacy anyway.
Baby cotton swabs for babies
Not just any cotton swab will do. If the tip is not thin like a genuine cotton swab, there is a risk that it will hit the heating blade and break.
Cotton swabs for babies are ideal because they are all made with thin tips, and they are economical because they cost only a little more than 200 yen.
ethanol anhydride
In extreme cases, there should be one in the family, and it is always used to clean precision machines and other equipment.
The reason for this is that, as the name suggests, it contains almost no water and evaporates quickly, making it perfect for cleaning moisture-sensitive precision machinery.
*However, since the purity is close to 100%, there is a high risk of ignition, so please do not use fire nearby or leave the lid open.
How to clean with commercial cotton swabs
Basically, it is exactly the same as a genuine cotton swab.
Put a small amount of anhydrous ethanol on a baby cotton swab for babies and clean the rest in the same way.
The proper amount here is just enough to moisten the cotton swab, but not so much that the liquid drips down, which is too much.
Make the Icos holder as good as new!
See you then,Let's actually clean it using the above cleaning set!.
First, for cleaning, I prepared a brush, cotton swabs (I'm going to use baby cotton swabs since I'm going to be doing this), tissue paper, and then the old Icos charger.
Originally, the best procedure would be to perform a heating cleaning after brushing, then finishing with a swab and drying with a heating cleaning, but since some of you may not have the older chargers, the heating cleaning was performed last.
Now, let the cleaning begin!
Dirty icos holder
It is about 3 boxes of heat sticks smoked.
It is dirty and smelly (sweat) because it was not cleaned at all to get this picture.
There was also a more pitch-black strongman (my father), but please let this be it this time.
Step 1: Brushing to remove blackheads
As explained earlier, insert the brush into the holder in a vertical position and turn it around.
At this time, it is best to do this on tissue paper, etc., as blackheads may fall off.
After 5 or 6 turns, gently pat it down on a piece of tissue paper.
I didn't get as much shavings as I thought I would (sweat).
When I cleaned my father's holder for him, I got about twice this amount of debris, but it was for about 3 days, so I guess that's about it.
I'm a little short...
Brushing alone has cleaned it up quite nicely.
Most of the blackheads that were stuck to the bottom have been removed, and the blades are now thicker than they should be with the blackheads removed.
To be frank, if it's as clean as this, it's not a problem.
Step 2: Remove any remaining debris with a cotton swab!
Since the theme is "like-new," we also use cotton swabs to further clean up.
Be careful with the blades and fluff them...do the outside of the black plate at this time as well.
The holder looked clean, but it is now on its second swab, and it is dirty just by not being seen.
Note the two swabs.
Can you see that it is quite black and dirty?
Brushing is good for removing large lumps, but it also leaves some residue and does not remove finely adherent blackheads.
It's a lot cleaner now that we've done this much.
After brushing, the holder showed fine black spots, but cleaning with a cotton swab removed most of them.
This is the end of the current model (2.4Plus), but this time we will use manual heated cleaning to further clean the blades.
Step 3: Blade cleaning with manual heated cleaning!
Most of the time it is enough to do it once, but this time we will do it twice because we don't want it to look good in the pictures.
Heated cleaning itself takes 30 seconds, so wait quietly for it to finish.
How effective is it?
Even the blade wiring is now clearly visible!
However, the heated cleaning removed the black spots on the blades.
This is why heating and cleaning should be done first.
Step 4: Finish cleaning
After wiping the outside of the plate with a tissue, use a cotton swab again to clean the bottom and other surfaces.
The main thing is to remove the fallen blackheads, which are hardly dirty, as they have already been swabbed once.
The ethanol anhydride made the inside of the holder damp, so we did a final heat cleaning to dry it out.
How do you like it? Isn't it quite beautiful?
Compared to brushing alone, the difference is obvious.
By the way, the black spot on the bottom is not a blackened area but a dented area.
Icos Holder Cleaning Summary
."tobaccoIt's a pain in the ass to just suck it up!" BY Father
There's no denying it... For those who have lived their smoking life mainly with paper cigarettes, charging and cleaning the Icos holder is quite a tedious task.
But it has to be recharged or it won't suck, and it has to be cleaned or it will be unsavory and cause a malfunction.
The ultimate result is a sore throat, and since the black shavings are further heated and inhaled, it is only natural that toxic substances are generated.
So, even if it's a hassle or a hassle, just do the brushing! I said.
I gave them these Icos as a gift for their health, and I would be very disappointed if they got sick because of them.
If you have never cleaned before or did not know how to do it, it is not too late,The right way to cleanand enjoy a delicious and toxic 90% cut!.
postscript
I apologize in advance, the series is going to continue a little longer now (sweat).
Because when I went to visit my parents' house, I was bombarded with questions about all kinds of things, which reminded me of my father when he first got a smartphone.
I think I am still barely keeping up with the changes of the times. I am still barely keeping up with the changes of the times, but if I am not careful, I will be left behind in no time at all.
Icos, Plumtec, and Glow are just one of them.
I will be careful not to be left behind!
