Unboxing Your IQOS ILUMA i PRIME

The IQOS ILUMA i PRIME is our most refined and advanced device yet. It is styled to the last detail, enabling a bladeless, clean tobacco heating. This upgraded version of the IQOS ILUMA introduces new advanced features, including a cutting-edge Touch Screen, Pause Mode, and FlexPuff, which adapts the device to the individual pace of use. 
 

 

What’s in the Box?

 


The IQOS ILUMA i PRIME comes with a Cable, Pocket Charger, and Holder (link to IQOS ILUMA i PRIME PLP) The Pocket Charger is a compact device that allows you to charge the IQOS Holder, which is used to heat tobacco sticks. For added convenience, the Pocket Charger also functions as a case when you are not using it, so you can easily carry and store the device.  

This device's standout features include the FlexPuff, FlexBattery, Touch Screen and Pause Mode. The FlexPuff feature is designed to adapt to your puffing style and may provide 4 additional puffs*. The FlexBattery feature, adjustable with the IQOS App, allows adult users to switch between 'Performance Mode' and 'Eco Mode' to manage the number of experiences.  
 

*FlexPuff activation and number of puffs depend on individual usage patterns. FlexPuff does not activate when pause is used. 
 

The device also features a Touch Screen, displaying information about experience such as heating status and remaining usage time.  
 

By simply swiping up or down on the Touch Screen while in Performance Mode, adult users can pause and resume their experience. Pause Mode enables pausing the experience for up to 8 minutes **.  
 

This model is designed to be used with tobacco sticks specially designed for IQOS ILUMA. The bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology's metal heating element is placed at the core of the stick. This system heats the tobacco from the inside without burning it, allowing for effortless insertion and extraction of the tobacco stick. This eliminates the need to clean the heating chamber.
 

**Only available in Performance Mode, during the first 3 minutes or 8 puffs of the experience. When pause is activated, Performance Mode gives you up to two consecutive experiences and pause is available only for one of the them.
