I just tried the heat mode on my Hewelth ReliefChain for the first time and I’m wondering if it’s supposed to feel more like a gentle warmth or if mine might be running a bit weak. It’s definitely not cold but I was expecting something a bit more noticeable I guess. Anyone else find the far-infrared setting pretty subtle or is that just how it works?

I think it’s supposed to be more of a gentle warmth than anything intense. I kind of prefer it that way since I don’t like it too hot.

I haven’t really thought about it much, but mine feels like a gentle warmth too. I think that’s just how the far-infrared thing works, it’s not supposed to be super hot like a heating pad. I actually like it because it’s subtle enough that I can wear it for a while without feeling uncomfortable.

Mine feels pretty gentle too, but I actually like it that way. I don’t really want it hot enough to feel like a heating pad on my neck. I think it’s more for that subtle warmth while the pulse does the main work.

I think it’s just the nature of far-infrared heat, it’s not really supposed to blast you like a space heater or anything. I actually kind of prefer it subtle, lets me wear it longer without feeling like I’m cooking my neck.

Mine gets noticeably warm, not hot but definitely more than “kinda warm.” I actually had to turn it down after a while because it was getting a bit much. Maybe yours is defective or you’re expecting it to feel like a heating pad. It’s not that kind of heat.

I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and I’d say it’s more of a consistent mild warmth than anything super toasty. I actually didn’t even notice it at first until I sat still for a bit, then it felt nice and steady. Might just be that your expectations were higher, but mine works fine.

[Dave Runner]

I think it’s just the far-infrared thing, it feels different than regular heat. More of a deep gentle warmth than surface heat.

[Mike89]

I think it might just be how yours runs. Mine gets noticeably warm after a few minutes, not crazy hot or anything but definitely more than just gentle. Maybe try it on a higher setting or use the pulse mode at the same time, that seems to help it feel stronger.

[Claire Woods]

Honestly, I think it’s fine. Mine feels warm enough to notice but it’s not like I’m sitting there thinking wow this is toasty. I just turn it on and forget about it, seems to do the job for loosening things up.

[Mark Carrell]

I actually turn mine on and off during use. I like the warmth but sometimes I want it more subtle so I just run it for a bit then shut it off. Works fine for me that way.

[Maya Singh]

I think it’s just the nature of the far-infrared heat, it’s more of a deep warmth that creeps up on you rather than a blast of hot air. I barely notice it at first but after about ten minutes I can definitely feel it working into my shoulders.

[LiamW]

Mine feels warm enough that I notice it, but it’s not like a heating pad or anything. I kind of wonder if the far-infrared stuff just works differently than what we’re used to. Could be yours is fine and it’s just the way the heat hits.

[Olivia_park]

Huh, that’s interesting. Mine actually gets pretty noticeably warm, not hot or anything but definitely more than just subtle. I can feel it after a minute or so. Maybe yours is just running a bit on the lower side?

[Alex M.]

I’ve only used mine a handful of times but it feels like a mild deep warmth to me, not really a surface heat if that makes sense. I just leave it on and forget about it until I notice my shoulders feel less tight. Works fine for what it is.

[Sarah J]

I mean, it’s not going to feel like a hot towel or anything, but mine definitely gets warm enough to notice after a few minutes. I wouldn’t call it weak, it’s just a different kind of heat. Works fine for what it is.

[Sophi86]

Honestly I barely notice mine at first but after like 10 minutes it feels nice and warm, not hot but definitely there. I think it’s just a slow build up kind of heat rather than instant. Works fine for me.

[Emma Jarris]

I wouldn’t overthink it, it’s not meant to be a blast furnace or anything. Mine does the same thing, it’s just a steady gentle warmth that sits there and does its job quietly. I barely notice it at first but after a while it’s definitely there and feels nice. Works fine for what it is.

[Alex Miller]

Alright, thanks for the replies everyone. Sounds like mine is probably working as intended then, just a slow build up. I’ll give it a few more sessions before I decide, but seems fine.

[Zara W]

I think it’s supposed to be subtle honestly, mine does the same thing and I actually like it that way. It’s more of a gentle warmth that builds up slowly rather than a strong heat, kind of cozy after a few minutes. I wouldn’t worry about yours being weak, sounds like it’s working fine.
