What is IQOS ILUMA - FAQs

The all-new IQOS ILUMA device takes you experience to a new level. Its innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better, cleaner experience.

Do not use SMARTCORE-sticks with previous IQOS™ generations, as this may cause damage to your device. SMARTCORE-sticks contain a metal part. Keep out of reach of children to prevent disassembly or ingestion.

The family of revolutionary new IQOS ILUMA devices are available in 3 models. IQOS ILUMA PRIME; our premium device with our most innovative design and materials. IQOS ILUMA; similar to IQOS 3 DUO by design but with different technology. And IQOS ILUMA ONE; similar to IQOS 3 MULTI by design but with different technology

It’s this. The pioneering SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in IQOS ILUMA devices reinvents the way tobacco is heated. The heart of the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is an innovative metal heating element placed inside the stick and coated with stainless steel for seamless heating of tobacco. This means your tobacco is heated from the core without any cleaning required.

You’re in control. With a range of exciting new advanced features, you can design your experience from manual or autostart* heating, alerts, lighting and more. And all seamlessly customized from your IQOS app.

Autostart.
Once your tobacco stick is correctly inserted, your holder will vibrate to let you know that the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ has started preheating automatically. You don’t need to set up the IQOS app for autostart to work but you can use the IQOS app to deactivate the autostart. When it’s ready to use, the device will vibrate a second time. You can also start heating manually by pressing the side button.

Checking your holder.
This smart gesture allows you to check how much battery is remaining in your holder. Simply tilt the holder towards you when you’re not using it, and the lights on the holder will indicate the battery level.

Checking how much experience is left.
Double-tap your holder and the vibrations will indicate how much of your experience is left. For instance:

• 3 vibrations = 75-50%
• 2 = 50-25%
• 1 = <25%.

You can enable and adjust the vibration modes to suit you, using the IQOS app.
