Switching on and charging your device.

Charge your IQOS ILUMA fully by using the AC Power Adaptor 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 automatically, or 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, simply by removing the stick from the holder and disposing of them according to your local waste disposal regulations.
  5. Insert the holder in the charger for recharging.

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 innovative new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology.

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

Your IQOS ILUMA works best between 0 - 40 °C, 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 or IQOS ILUMA PRIME and SMARTCORE STICKS™ in a clean, dry, cool place.
  • Do not expose IQOS ILUMA or IQOS ILUMA PRIME and SMARTCORE STICKS™ to high humidity conditions or direct sunlight.
  • Do not use SMARTCORE STICKS™ that have been exposed to excessive heat or moisture.

Additional information:
In cold outdoor conditions, the device may be able to start if it’s kept warm (e.g.in your coat pocket). Nevertheless, while using the holder, the cold outdoor temperature may lead to:

  1. Lower performance of the aerosol.
  2. Not enough energy to match the (per tobacco stick) designed usage duration (up to 6’ or 14 puffs whichever comes first).

The IQOS ILUMA PRIME is our premium device, with its innovative design and considered use of stunning materials. For example, the IQOS ILUMA PRIME holder and pocket charger come in an aluminum body with a leather or fabric wrap on the pocket charger.
