Why Does My IQOS ILUMA i™ Not Work Optimally?

Why Is My IQOS ILUMA i™ Device Not Available for the 2nd Consecutive Experience?

There are several factors that can cause your IQOS ILUMA i™ device to be unavailable for 2 consecutive experiences, such as:

1. Your device may be in the Eco Mode (FlexBattery feature)

In Eco Mode, your Holder will be set for a single use only, lasting up to 6 minutes. In Eco Mode, the Holder will always show one horizontal line (when fully charged)​. You can change the FlexBattery setting in the IQOS Web App to Performance Mode, which allows multiple consecutive uses​ 

2. Discharged Holder

The Pocket Charger should be sufficiently charged (at least one solid white light) to allow full charge of the Holder.​ Place the Holder in a charged Pocket Charger and leave it charging until the two Holder’s lights on the Pocket Charger turn solid white​

3. Dirty contacts

Clean the contacts on the Holder and on the Pocket Charger (the place where the Holder gets in contact with the Pocket Charger)​ 

4. Out of optimal temperature range

The operating temperature range for the IQOS ILUMA i™ devices is 0°C - 40°C. If used outside of its operating range, an experience could be interrupted or not starting.​ Bring the device to the optimal temperature range.​ 

5.​ Battery degraded 

If the lights blink 8 times during the experience after 12 months since the purchase – normal battery degrading situation.

If the lights blink 8 times during the experience before 12 months since the purchase – eligibility replacement check​ 

6. Humid sticks:​ 

If the TEREA™ sticks are humid, the device may need to use more energy per use. This may discharge the battery more rapidly.​ 

To store your TEREA™ sticks in the optimal conditions, keep them in a closed pack and do not expose to humidity or humid weather conditions.​ 

Why is the 3rd Experience Not Available on My IQOS ILUMA i™ Device?

This issue may come from various reasons, such as: 

1. You are using Pause feature in Performance Mode

With a fully charged Holder, you can have the 3rd consecutive experience in Performance Mode (FlexBattery feature) if you do not use the Pause for the first two experiences.​ If you use the Pause, the device will only deliver 2 consecutive uses.​ 

2. Holder is not fully charged

Charge your Holder by placing it in a charged Pocket Charger.​ Note that the Touch Screen will not show 3rd available experience even if the Holder is fully charged and the experience is available.​ 

3. Device is outside the optimal temperature range

If the Holder is used outside the optimal temperature range (0°C - 40°C), the device may need to use more energy per use. This may discharge the battery more rapidly.​ Bring the device to the optimal temperature range.​ 

4. Humid sticks

If the TEREA™ sticks are humid, the device may need to use more energy per use. This may discharge the battery more rapidly.​ 

To store your TEREA™ sticks in the optimal conditions, keep them in a closed pack and do not expose to humidity or humid weather conditions. ​ 

5. Battery degradation:​ 

The battery degradation may happen over time as for any other electronic device.​ In this case, the replacement is not covered by the warranty.
