What is the technology in IQOS ILUMA?
In previous IQOS devices, the tobacco has been heated by a heating blade, and the HEETSTM are placed on this heating blade.
IQOS ILUMA is different: The innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEMTM uses a new technology for tobacco heating, because it works without a heating blade.
Since the completely new TEREA tobacco sticks, specially developed for IQOS ILUMA, are closed on both sides, no more tobacco falls out of the tobacco sticks: no tobacco residue is left behind and there is no need to clean the holder.*
Due to the completely new technology, IQOS ILUMA is only compatible with TEREA tobacco sticks. HEETSTM tobacco sticks cannot be used with IQOS ILUMA.
* IQOS ILUMA is intended for use with TEREA tobacco sticks only. Do not use IQOS ILUMA and TEREA tobacco sticks with previous IQOS models as this may cause damage to the device. IQOS ILUMA cannot be used with HEETSTM tobacco sticks. TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS contain sharp metal parts that can cause serious injury if swallowed. Therefore, do not disassemble them, do not ingest them, and keep them out of the reach of children. Do not insert the ILUMA Holder into the Charger of previous IQOS models and vice versa.
