Apparently this portable ashtray isn't meant to be used as an ashtray.

I'd agree, except the instruction booklet that came with it has an illustration that clearly shows someone emptying their ash out of it into a trash can.

That's definitely a butt holder. I would imagine they don't want you using it as an ashtray since if burning embers were still active in there, and you closed it, it could cause a nasty little bang.

Illustrations in instruction booklets aren't always accurate. Plus, even with butts, there could be ash leftover.

I think it's funny they use the term "POS" on their own product.
