IQOS ILUMA - FAQs

The IQOS ILUMA device with TEREA tobacco sticks (“TEREA”) takes heated tobacco to the next level of tobacco experience. Its new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the TEREA tobacco stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better and cleaner experience. It continues to emit, on average, 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals than cigarettes*. Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free.
* Reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette.

The range of new IQOS ILUMA devices are available in 3 models. IQOS ILUMA PRIME; our premium device with innovative design and materials. IQOS ILUMA; similar to IQOS 3 DUO by design but with different technology. And IQOS ILUMA ONE; Our all-in-one device. Similar to IQOS 3 MULTI by design but with different technology.

The SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in IQOS ILUMA devices and TEREA tobacco sticks completely reinvents the way tobacco is heated. The heart of the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is a metal heating element placed inside the TEREA tobacco stick and coated with stainless steel for seamless heating of tobacco.

This means your tobacco is heated from the core and provides real tobacco taste and experience without any cleaning required after use.

Switching on and charging your device.
Charge your IQOS ILUMA fully by using the AC Power Adapter and Charging Cable that comes with it. Then, to switch your device on, press the button on the side of the Pocket Charger for 4 seconds. To check the battery status of the Pocket charger, take out the holder and press the side button of the Pocket Charger.

  1. Insert the TEREA stick up to the line on the filter until the holder vibrates and light(s) pulse(s). Heating starts by pressing the button for 1 second
  2. You can start using your device once the holder vibrates and the lights stay fixed
  3. To signal the last 30 seconds of use or that the last 2 puffs are left, the holder will vibrate with the light(s) pulsing white
  4. Dispose of the stick immediately after you’ve used it and it’s cooled down, simply by removing the stick from the holder.
  5. Insert the holder in the charger for recharging (not required for Iluma One)

IQOS ILUMA™ is designed to be used only with TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™. Do not use IQOS ILUMA™ and TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™ with previous IQOS generations, as this may cause damage to your device.

There are couple of ways you can check how many uses you have left. Either on the holder itself or by checking the pocket charger with the holder inside. Here’s how:

Checking on the holder: Tilt the holder towards you or short press the button. The lights will come on and indicate the battery level. When 2 lights are on it means the holder is ready for 2 uses and 1 light on means it’s ready for 1 use only.

Checking on the pocket charger: Short press the side button on the pocket charger with the holder inside the charger. The pocket charger light will turn on. 2 lights mean the holder is ready for 2 uses and 1 light on means ready for 1 use. You’re all set to your tobacco experience.

To reset your device, place the holder in the pocket charger and press the button for 10 seconds, then release. All of the lights will turn OFF, blink twice, and turn on again to confirm a RESET.

It’s quick and easy to charge your device but remember, it’s safer to use the power adapter and charging cable designed for IQOS ILUMA. It takes around 135 minutes to fully charge the pocket charger and up to 10 minutes to fully charge the holder for the first time after unpacking for IQOS ILUMA and IQOS ILUMA PRIME. It takes around 90 minutes to fully charge an IQOS ILUMA ONE.

Checking the battery level of the pocket charger is easy. Simply short press the side button on the pocket charger. The pocket charger lights will turn on to indicate the battery level: 

  • 4 WHITE lights mean the battery is fully charged
  • 3 WHITE lights mean up to 75% battery life remaining
  •   
  • 2 WHITE lights mean up to 50% battery life remaining
  •   
  • 1 WHITE light means up to 25% battery life remaining
  •   

    YELLOW blinking lights displaying on the holder:
    This means the battery is depleted and the holder needs to be recharged.

    RED blinking light on the holder:
    You need to put the holder in the pocket charger and reset the device.

    WHITE lights blink twice on the holder
    This indicates your IQOS ILUMA is outside its operating temperature range of between >0°C/<40°C.

    Yes, but only with the charging cable and power adaptor designed for IQOS 3 generations.

    There are 5 stylish colours available for the new IQOS ILUMA, allowing you to personalise your own way.

  • ILUMA Prime - Obsidian Black, Jade Green
  • ILUMA - Pebble Grey, Azure Blue
  • ILUMA ONE - Pebble Beige, Pebble Grey, Azure Blue
  • In order to provide our IQOS ILUMA users with an elevated tobacco experience, a slightly bigger and more robust device needed to be designed to accommodate the new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology.

    It won’t start because the IQOS ILUMA is designed to be used only with the brand new, fully sealed TEREA tobacco sticks. Its new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the TEREA stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better and cleaner experience. And do remember that TEREA tobacco sticks won't work with previous IQOS generations and may cause damage to your device.

    IQOS ILUMATM™ is designed to be used only with SMARTCORE STICKSTM™. Do not use IQOS ILUMA™ and TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™ with previous IQOS generations, as this may cause damage to your device.

    If you accidentally insert a used TEREA tobacco stick and notice not too long into the experience, very little energy will have been consumed and you may not lose the experience. Regardless, the recharging time will be less than 2 full consecutive uses.

    If your IQOS ILUMA doesn't start on its own then please:

  • Check that you’re only using TEREA sticks
  • Make sure they’re being placed in the right direction in the holder
  • Place the holder in the pocket charger and perform a RESET. To do this, press and hold down the pocket charger button for 10 seconds until the lights fade out. The RESET is confirmed when you release the button and all of the lights blink 2 times
  • If the holder starts on its own without a TEREA stick inserted then please follow these steps:

  • Place the holder in the pocket charger and perform a RESET. To do this, press and hold down the pocket charger button for 10 seconds until the lights fade out. The RESET is confirmed when you release the button and all of the lights blink 2 times
  • Remember, you can start your tobacco experience manually by inserting your TEREA stick into the holder and pressing the button for two seconds to activate your experience.

    Your experience will last up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first.

    Your IQOS ILUMA works best between 0 - 40℃, and TEREA tobacco sticks taste best when you keep them at room temperature. Here are a few storage tips:

  • Keep your device away from water, direct sunlight and heat.
  • Don’t leave your device in a hot place like inside a car because the lithium-ion battery and electric circuit board could be damaged, or significantly deteriorated.
  • To ensure the best taste and to get the most from your device, we also recommend you avoid exposing your IQOS ILUMA and TEREA sticks to low temperatures for a long period of time.
  • Store IQOS ILUMA and SMARTCORE STICKS™ in a clean, dry, cool place.
  • Do not expose IQOS ILUMA and SMARTCORE STICKS™ to high humidity conditions or direct sunlight.
  • Do not use SMARTCORE STICKS™ that have been exposed to excessive heat or moisture.
  • The one-year warranty covers manufacturing defects for IQOS ILUMA electronic devices. And electronic accessories for Power Adapter, Charging Cable and IQOS Charging Docks. Please refer to important information for exclusions.
