PULZE instructions for use! If you don't read the manual, you must!

Good evening,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

It was my birthday just the other day, and my oldest daughter had planted a homemade gift for me.

A strange handmade toy in a strange box? was in the box, but there were illustrations and messages written on five sides of the inside of the box.

I am somewhat spoiled in the morning because I am happy that he took the time to cook for me, let alone give me a gift.

It's just that...toys? I don't know how to use the

I finally found out by asking my daughter,You have to be careful not to break it if you use it in an unintended way..

So,Fourth heated cigaretteThe topic as aPALSのtreatmentI will share about.

How to use PALS

I would ask you to read the linked article about Pals,In this issue.Dedicated CigaretteThe following is a series of basic instructions on how to insert, smoke, and remove theintroductionI do.

I am one of those people who, if you already have an Icos, Glow, Plume-es, etc., you already know how to use them somehow, so you may start pushing buttons without reading the manual, but be careful.

This is because, unlike previous Icos and Glows, PULZ is equipped with a temperature switching mode and an extended mode.

It also has a safety lock function and may be damaged if you touch it knowingly.

We will be releasing the product in one week,If you don't want to bother reading the manual, or if you are planning to buy one, you may just want to take a look at it beforehand!.

Basic Usage of Pals

Insert the special cigarette "ID cigarette stick" and follow the sequence of heating, smoking, and disposal.

It is natural to say that the functions on board are different, but the operation methods are a little different from those of Icos, Glow, and Plume-es.

The image takes a bit of work.However, please remember "how to select the mode" as an operation to be performed every time.

How to use PULLS (1) Remove the cap cover.

The tip of the pals has a cap cover called a cap cover.

I can't insert the "ID cigarette stick" without removing this cap...It is not connected to the main unit, so there is a possibility of losing it if it is randomly dropped on the floor..

This cap cover is equivalent to the slide of the Multi, Plume-S, and Glow, and protects the inside of the heater from dust, so be careful not to lose it.

How to use PULLS (2) Insert ID cigarette sticks

Basically the same as Icos,If you plug it in straight, there is no problem at all..

The heating system is a pin type, not a blade type, so there is no problem even if it is twisted slightly, but note that the pin may break if it is inserted at an angle.

There is a line on the filter, so just push it down to that point.

Supplementary information.."ID Cigarette StickBe careful because the border between the filter and the hollowed-out part is easy to break!.

How to use PALS (3) Turn on the power

At this point, the power is not on, so the first step is to turn it on.

Turning on the power is easy, just press the button once!.

This is a unique part of PALS, as other devices are basically thought of as being operated from a powered-on state.

Note that when the power is turned on, the LEDs blink in sequence, but when this is over, the power is turned off..

How to use PULZ (4) Select heating mode (start heating)

Once the power is turned on, the heating mode is selected and heating begins.

This is also a little different: if you press and hold the button for 1.5 seconds, it will vibrate, at which point you release the button and it will start heating in standard mode (345 degrees).

If you keep pressing down after the vibration, there will be a second vibration after another 1.5 seconds (3 seconds in total), at which point you can release your finger to heat in eco mode (315 degrees Celsius).

To start heating, you press and hold the button for the same amount of time, but the specification is to select the mode depending on whether you press and hold the button for 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds!.

I'm having a hard time getting used to this...To select the heating mode, press and hold the button while the power is on and the LED is flashing.

How to use PULLS (5) Enjoy smoking

It can be smoked for about 4 minutes, and the 4 LEDs above the button go off every minute.

When 30 seconds remain, the LED begins to flash with a vibration, indicating that the end of the smoking time is near.

This part is the same as other devices, so it should not be a problem, but there is another feature here that is unique to Pals.

."extend modeWhen the LED starts blinking and vibrating with 30 seconds remaining, press the button once to activate the "Extended Mode" to extend the smoking time by another 30 seconds..

How to use PALS (6) Pull out the ID stick

When the time comes, the power turns off automatically.

ID stickSlide the cap to the top and "twist" it off..

This operation is almost the same as with Icos, so Icos users should have no problem, but those who have only used Glow or Plume-es should be careful because they may pull it out without lifting the cap.

How to use PALS (7) Safety lock function

PALSThere are otherHeated tobaccowhich is not found in the "Safety lock functionIt also includes a feature called.

A thing to prevent malfunction or to prevent children from pressing the wrong button to operate.

It is easy to use,Just hit the button 5 times in a row while in standby mode..

Although this is a five-turn press, familiar to vape users, it may feel a little strange if you are not used to it.

The release is five presses as well, so when you finish smoking and get on the train, you can press it five times before putting it in your bag.

Summary of Pals Usage

I have written notes on each of these items, but the action of turning on the power each time and the time it takes to select the heating mode by holding it down for a long time is a method of operation not found in conventional heated cigarettes.

If anything, the feel of the operation is similar to that of an Icos or Glow compatible device.

I'm sure it's nothing once you get used to it, but I wonder how acceptable the differences in how these areas are operated will be.

postscript

I think it's tough living in Japan, but since so many companies are still entering the market, Japan must still be a "tobacco paradise" in the eyes of other countries.

With the Tokyo Olympics coming up next year, many foreign visitors will come to Japan.

If we don't have a good smoking environment by then, we are likely to have many problems such as littering and smoking in non-smoking areas, so I hope they will not only tighten the restrictions, but also make it easy to find a place where people can smoke.
