Features of the IQOS ILUMA i

IQOS ILUMA i introduces 3 new advanced features and a Touch Screen, in addition to functions existing in previous models. Let's take a closer look at the new features:  

Touch Screen

A completely new user interface available in the IQOS ILUMA i and IQOS ILUMA i PRIME, the Touch Screen. The Touch Screen allows you to quickly and easily find all the information related to usage in one place:  

• The time left of the use ​  

• The number of available uses (two dashes for up to 3 uses and 1 dash for one use) ​  

• The pre-heating status (duration and completion)  

FlexPuff

FlexPuff is a feature available in all devices from the IOQS ILUMA i range. This action occurs automatically, meaning no action is required from you. When the FlexPuff feature is active, the device will analyse whether the stick has been fully consumed as the usage comes to an end. If the stick is not fully consumed, it may provide 4 extra puffs*. ​With this feature, FlexPuff provides a more customised and flexible use than before.   

*FlexPuff is designed to work with tobacco sticks. Activation and the number of puffs depends on individual usage patterns, thus extra puffs might not apply to all adult consumers and/or uses. FlexPuff does not activate when pause is used.​​  

FlexBattery

FlexBattery is an adaptive feature that that allows you to customize the holder’s battery. This feature enables you to use your holder in one of two modes: 

Performance Mode - This is the default mode. It enables 2 consecutive uses of up to 6 minutes, each with 1 Pause available. Alternatively, you can experience 3 consecutive uses of up to 6 minutes each, without a pause. 

Eco Mode - You can set your IQOS ILUMA i to this mode using the IQOS App. In this mode, the Holder will be set for a single use only, lasting up to 6 minutes. Pause Mode is not available in Eco Mode. Doing so prolongs the lifespan of the Holder battery by up to one year.** 

**Only when fully used on Eco Mode throughout the lifespan of the holder and may vary depending on personal consumption.  

Pause Mode

Need to pick up the phone in the middle of your IQOS use? Pause Mode allows you to pause your use for up to 8 minutes, and then resume it.** The use must be reactivated within 8 minutes, or the Holder will automatically switch off to end the use. This allows flexibility over your device use.  

**Only available in Performance Mode, during the first 3 minutes or 8 puffs of the use. When Pause is activated, Performance Mode gives adult users up to two consecutive uses and Pause is available only for one of them.​  

Autostart/Autostop

Autostart and Autostop are features available in older generations of the IQOS ILUMA range as well as the IQOS ILUMA i. Autostart means that when a SMARTCORE STICKS™ is inserted into the IQOS ILUMA i, preheating will start automatically. Autostop means that if the SMARTCORE STICKS™ is removed from the IQOS ILUMA i Holder, the use will stop.  

Device Lock

You can unlock or lock your device through the IQOS App. This prevents others from accessing your device.

A Breakdown of the Touch Screen Symbols

The Touch Screen is a helpful feature that communicates important information about your use. Here are the key signals to pay attention to:  

Preheating

Preheating will begin automatically and takes 20 seconds on average. This process will be indicated by 1 vibration, followed by the LEDs lighting up from the bottom of the circle and all the way to the top, in both directions.

Number of uses

The number of available uses will be indicated via the Touch Screen in the following ways:  

• 2 horizontal dashes indicate 2 available uses (enough for two or three uses).  

• 1 horizontal dash indicates 1 available use.   

• 1 horizontal dash after the use indicates that you can have a use   

• Number “0” indicates that your battery is depleted and no use is available. Please recharge your Holder if this is displayed.

What’s in the Box?

Here's what you can look forward to when unboxing your device:
