3.7 Model G403a
Model G403a is a variant design that only has one heated zone. This means that the device has one
induction coil and some electrical components that were associated with the second zone have been
depopulated. It will also be marketed under the glo Hyper+ UNIQ branding but could have either a
fixed or removable heater panel (see section 3.3).

3.8 Consumable design
When used as directed and intended the Neo™ consumables neither ignite nor burn. During operation
the glo™ Hyper+ heating mechanism ensures that the tobacco is not heated above 270 °C. At this
temperature the processed, reconstituted tobacco prevents combustion from occurring. Neo™
consumables content of water and glycerol allows low-temperature heating which results in the
emission of an aerosol fundamentally different from the smoke emitted from a cigar or cigarette when
it is used. The Neo™ is heated to produce heated tobacco vapour but no combustion occurs so there
is no smoke or ash.
The consumable is demi-slim sized, with a circumference of 21.1mm and Length of 75mm. It contains
a filter section (to provide filtration of the aerosol and cooling, with a capsule option on some products
for extra flavour) and a reconstituted tobacco section (with glycerol and flavour added to generate
the aerosol at lower temperatures).
