IQOS ILUMA devices

The IQOS ILUMA PRIME is our most advanced device with its sophisticated design, features and 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.

Do not ingest or disassemble TEREA. This product contains a sharp metal part which can cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. See Important information.

Your IQOS ILUMA works optimally between 0℃ - 40℃, and TEREA sticks taste best when stored at room temperature. Follow these tips regarding the storage:

Store your device and TEREA sticks in a clean, dry, cool place.

Keep your device away from water, direct sunlight and heat.

Don’t leave your device in a hot place (such as inside a car) because the lithium-ion battery and electric circuit board could be damaged.

Don’t expose your device or TEREA sticks to low temperatures for a long period of time. Avoid high humidity and direct sunlight.

Don’t use TEREA sticks if they have been exposed to excessive heat or moisture.

Additional information In cold outdoor conditions, the device may start if it’s kept warm (for example, in a coat pocket). However, while using your holder, cold outdoor temperatures may lead to lower performance of the aerosol and not enough energy for a full tobacco experience (up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first).

    Used TEREA tobacco sticks have two indicators that tell you if they’ve been used. The paper around the filter is slightly creased, and there will be a slight tobacco vapor stain on the paper. We recommend you dispose of the stick immediately after use to avoid any confusion. Another way to avoid reusing a TEREA stick is by placing it back in the pack upside-down. When you select your TEREA stick check that the wavy line is visible.
