Is glo™ waterproof?
The information in this article is for glo™ Hyper Series devices.
glo™ devices have become increasingly popular. But one question consistently surfaces: Is glo™ waterproof? Let's break down the details and explore the water resistance of glo™ devices.
What does glo™ do?
glo™ is a heating device that instead of burning tobacco, heats specially designed sticks to create a nicotine-containing vapour.
Understanding water resistance vs. waterproof
Before we dive in, lets understand the difference between water-resistant and waterproof.
- Water resistant means a device can withstand splashes, light rain, and accidental spills. However, it's not designed for prolonged submersion.
- Waterproof implies a device can be submerged in water for a specific duration and depth without damage.
Is glo™ waterproof or water resistant?
glo™ devices, neo™, veo™ and Lucky Strike sticks are generally not marketed as waterproof or water-resistant. This means that exposing your device to water could potentially damage it. The devices rely on electronic components to heat nicotine sticks and water could cause damage to these components.
What to do if your glo™ device gets wet
If your device accidentally gets wet, take the following steps:
- Turn it off
- Dry it thoroughly: Use a soft, absorbent cloth to wipe down the exterior.
- Remove any visible moisture: Gently shake the device to dislodge any trapped water.
- Allow it to air dry: Leave the device in a dry, well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours. Avoid using a hairdryer or other heat source, as this could cause further damage.
- Do not attempt to use it until completely dry
Tips for protecting your glo™ device from water damage
Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to keep your device safe from water damage:
- Avoid using it in wet environments: This includes rain, bathrooms, and near swimming pools.
- Store it in a dry place: When not in use, keep your device in a case or pouch to protect it from accidental spills.
- Be careful when cleaning: Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Avoid using any liquids or cleaning solutions.
- Consider a protective case: A case can offer some protection against splashes and spills.
To ensure the longevity of your device, it's essential to keep it clean and to treat it with care.
