IQOS ILUMA device uses the innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology to heat tobacco from inside the TEREA™ tobacco sticks. IQOS emits 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.*

* Important information: 95% less” represents the average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette. See important information on information page.

Find out the first steps to using your IQOS ILUMA device below:

  • Before first use, fully charge your device using the Power Adapter and Charger Cable for approximately 135 minutes. Press the button to turn on your IQOS ILUMA Pocket Charger to check the battery level for 4 seconds. Then check the status lights on your IQOS ILUMA Holder to see how much usage you have:
    • Two lights on means the Holder is fully charged (ready for two uses).
    • One light on means you have one use left.
    • No lights on means the Holder needs to be charged by the Pocket Charger.
  • Gently insert the TEREA™ tobacco stick. Autostart will activate once the TEREA™ tobacco stick is inserted. If Autostart is disabled, you can press the button on the Holder to start use. One vibration and a slow blinking light indicates the start of the heating process of the TEREA™ tobacco stick. Two vibrations and the light fully lit means the Holder is ready to use.
  • When you feel two more vibrations, your IQOS device time is almost up (30 seconds or 2 puffs left). Remove the TEREA™ tobacco stick and replace it with a new stick for the next use. If one light is on, there is one more use left, so you will need to charge the Holder in the Pocket Charger after the next use.
  • When the Holder is in the Pocket Charger, there are two round lights that indicate the status of the Holder. If the round lights are blinking white, the Holder is charging. One or two fully lit round lights on the Pocket Charger indicate how much usage is available.

To keep the IQOS ILUMA battery lasting longer, you can simply charge the IQOS ILUMA Pocket Charger every day. Keep in mind always charge the Pocket Charger with the official power adapter from IQOS.

IQOS Device VS E-cigarette

The SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology on IQOS ILUMA, offers adult users to enjoy the taste of real tobacco by using a tobacco stick called TEREA™. Keep in mind this product is not risk-free as it contains nicotine which can cause addiction. Find IQOS ILUMA and TEREA™ in online stores.

Disposable e-cigarettes are devices that already contain e-liquid from the start and are generally discarded after the e-liquid or if the battery runs out (e-liquid cannot be refilled). The way disposable e-cigarettes work is by heating e-liquid to produce vapor.

Whereas rechargeable vape is an e-cigarette device that can be recharged and can be used longer than disposable e-cigarettes. However, both devices work the same way.
