Pluscig P3

WOULD WE RECOMMEND

Pluscig P3 offers 44 consecutive uses and a whole host of features! It’s definitely good enough to be a primary device, but we recommend only advanced Heat-not-Burn users purchase this one as it requires you to memorize alot of commands.

We do have a few complaints. The first is that this device is HEAVY. Its weight is manageable, but if you are used to lighter devices like IQOS or HiTaste you will definitely notice the difference.

Our second complaint is the price. $59USD is a big high for this device. It does work well and seems like it will have a good life expectancy, but there are better devices available for less money.

FEATURES: Display screen, locking feature, temperature adjustment, length of cycle adjustment, usage record, self-cleaning, and an automatic cleaning prompt.

QUALITY: Seems quite durable, but in exchange for durability you pay with weight. At 137g, Pluscig P3 is the heaviest Heat-not-Burn device we’ve ever tested!

DESIGN: It’s simple. Nothing flashy, but that may suit some individuals’ taste. The best part of the design is that you can remove the side of the heating chamber to make cleaning the blade easier.

UNBOXING

In your Pluscig P3 kit you will find; the device, the manual, a Quality Control Card, a USB cable, a cleaning brush, cleaning sticks, and gaskets (small paper circles).

Before using your device, check it’s charge level. To do this, click the control button 3 times to unlock, then check the battery icon on screen. If the battery is not fully charged, we recommend charging it before using. Just connect the device to a power source via the USB cable. Charging takes approximately 3 hours.

Now that you’ve charged your device, it’s time to use it. Here’s how;

   • choose length of cycle symbol (looks like a star with 3 points)
   • click + or – buttons to choose desired length

   • click control button once to set

10. Remove the HeatStick

Since Pluscig P3 is a multi-use device you can begin another cycle right away if you want. We got 44 consecutive uses before needing to charge! The sheer number of consecutive uses you get with P3 is by far the most impressive aspect of this device!

Aside from general usage instructions, there are a few other features that you need to know how to operate.

1. To clear usage record:
   • click + and – buttons at the same time
   • choose length of cycle symbol (two arrows that make a square)
   • click control button once to select
2. Self-cleaning:
   • click + and – buttons at the same time
   • choose self-clean symbol (looks like a little brush)
   • click control button once to select

Don’t forget that the P3 device will automatically prompt you to clean every 5 HeatSticks. All you have to do is select ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the screen. This is super convenient! But don’t forget to manually clean as needed.

To manually clean, remove the heating chamber insert, then use the brush and/or the cleaning sticks to wipe away any grime. One design feature we really like about this device is that when you remove the heating chamber insert the whole side of the heating chamber comes out. This makes it so easy to clean inside the heating chamber! I wish more devices were designed like this!

HEATSTICKS OVERVIEW

The Pluscig brand does not product their own HeatSticks. Instead, their devices are designed to work with other branded HeatSticks, such as HEETS and Marlboro for IQOS HeatSticks.
