The Basics About This Device

Pluscig is a new brand here at Heat180. Even though the brand itself has been around for a while, we haven’t yet reviewed any Pluscig devices, so we figured it was about time.
Today we’ll be reviewing Pluscig B2S. One of the older model devices from this company. B2S is an integrated multi-use device that offers temperature control and self-cleaning. B2S also offers users a high number of consecutive uses. Our test users got 40 before needing to charge again! Amazing! B2S is one of the smaller, more compact HnB devices on the market.

Our Thoughts on This Device
Some aspects of B2S were really great; 40 consecutive uses, color choices, temperature adjustment, self-cleaning function, etc., but we’d have a hard time recommending this to HnB users. For the price, the device simply isn’t worth it. B2S sells for approximately $44USD, but the material quality is something we would expect from a device selling for $20. The plastic is cheap and fragile feeling, as if it would break easily. Moreover, the device begins to smell like burning plastic after only one use. This really taints the experience of using this device.
We recognize that the technology in this thing is fantastic (how did they manage to fit so much power into such a small device?) but there are some big issues with quality. We’re wanting to test another Pluscig device in the future, to see if the brand has improved on this issue with the release of their newer HnB devices.
Unboxing & How to Use

Included in your Pluscig B2S kit will be the device, the manual, a Quality Contol certification card, a USB cable, cleaning sticks, a cleaning brush, and some small paper circles. We do not know what these are or why they are in the kit. There is nothing in the manual explaining them and, in fact, the manual doesn’t even list them as an item that should be in the kit. It’s a mystery to us. Let us know if you have an idea of what these are for in the ‘Review’ section above.

Once you’ve unboxed everything, you can connect the device to the USB cable and a power source to make sure that the battery is full. The battery charge level will be shown by the three charge indicator lights on the top of the device. Our device was close to fully charged when we got it, but if your device is not, then it takes about 2 hours and 34 minutes in total to charge.
When the device is charged you can put the device into the active state mode by pressing the control button 3 times in rapid succession. Once you’ve done this, you can choose your temperature setting by clicking the control button another 4 times in rapid succession. The temperature level is shown on the ‘H,’ ‘M,’ and ‘L’ temperature adjustment indicator lights on the side of the device. There are four temperature settings, despite there being only three buttons. When the ‘L’ is lit, the device is at the lowest temperature setting, ‘M’ indicates the medium setting, a blue colored ‘H’ indicates high, and a red ‘H’ is ultra high. Just keep clicking the control button 4 times in a row until the light you want is selected, then wait while the device sets to that temp.
Once that’s done, you can press and hold the control button until the device vibrates and the LED indicator lights flash. This means that the heating process has started. The heating process takes only 4 seconds. Once it’s over the device will vibrate again and the indicator lights will turn solid to indicate that the device is fully heated. A cycle with B2S lasts for 4 minutes exactly. There will be a third vibration and the indicator lights will turn off when the cycle ends.
This is a multi-use device so if you want you can always begin another cycle after the first by repeating the steps above. Make sure though, that you remove the old HeatStick by pushing it up with the HeatSticks eject button on the opposite side of the device, and replace it with a new one. This prevents build-up inside the HeatSticks heating chamber.
If you do start seeing residue inside the device, you can use the self-cleaning feature to burn some of it away. To do this, being the heating process by pressing and holding the control button, but once the heating process has begun, don’t let go of the button. Keep pressing on it until the device vibrates for a second time and the LED indicator lights flash two colors at once. Self-cleaning lasts around 30 seconds.
You will also need to regularly manually clean the device. To do this, remove the HeatSticks heating chamber insert by pushing it up with the HeatSticks eject button. Then, brush away all the grime with the cleaning brush or cleaning sticks. The insert should catch most of the residue/fallout, but maybe quickly sweep the inside of the HeatSticks heating chamber too, as our test users found that some would remain in there.
