DECIDE:
According to the above steps and the consumer’s claim, make the decision;

Inhalation experience lasting less than it is designed for
A list of possible causes have been listed bellow
Check One
Unlike conventional cigarettes IQOS ILUMA PRIME heats tobacco so you have to puff with intervals in order to allow the device time to heat the tobacco and generate the required aerosol.
Check Two
Ensure the device was used in the working temperature range 0-40° C.
Notes
TEREA sticks are designed to deliver 14 puffs or six-minutes experience (whichever comes first).
TEREA sticks may or may not leave a stain once they have been used. No stain mark is not a sign the tobacco was not heated properly.

Inhalation experience lasting less than it is designed for
Check Five
Check the TEREA stick was not accidentally used twice. Or that it was just a case with an individual TEREA stick. Isolated cases with a single TEREA stick do not justify blaming the device or the sticks.
Check Six
Ensure the TEREA stick was inserted correctly as per the user guide instructions.
Check Seven
TEREA packs should not be stored in an environment which is too humid or too dry. Doing so can have an effect on the aerosol quality.
Note: Keep in mind that used TEREA sticks tend to have visible creases and marks once used, check to see if the stick may have accidentally been already used.
We are sorry your IQOS ILUMA PRIME Holder is damaged. Even with this damage, are you still able to use it? Can your Holder still heat the TEREA sticks?
Ensure it was not used out of the working temperature 0-40°C.
Step Two
Check if the led blinks white 8 times this indicates that the device cannot deliver a second experience.
Step Three
Check the Pocket Charger is charged and is able to charge the Holder. In the even the contacts are dirty this can have an effect on charging (click here to see how to clean).
Note: a used TEREA stick can be used to perform this test.
After following these steps does the Holder remain ON for six minutes during the second experience?
This may be due to segments of a previous TEREA stick remaining in the Holder. Let’s try the following:
Step One
With caution, use your two fingers to remove the TEREA stick, if this does not work.
Step Two
With caution, try using a toothpick to remove the part of the stick that remains in the device. When removed, dispose of it immediately. Do not use any sharp tools to remove the broken stick as you might damage the device.
If you are experiencing any trouble please go to your nearest IQOS store so that one of our agents can assist you.
