How to Use IQOS ILUMA: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
Share
Charge the device, insert a TEREA stick fully into the holder, let the device heat it, then use it for up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs. There is no blade to clean.
Before your first session
Charge your device first. ILUMA ONE gives 20 consecutive uses on a full charge (about 90 minutes to recharge); ILUMA and ILUMA PRIME use a holder plus pocket charger. Charging is via USB-C.
Using a TEREA stick
Insert a TEREA stick fully into the holder and follow the device's on-screen or light indication to start heating. A session lasts up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first (ILUMA i can add up to 4 extra puffs with FlexPuff). Remove the used stick when the session ends.
Only TEREA works: HEETS are for older blade devices. Read the difference.
Care and cleaning
ILUMA uses the bladeless Smartcore Induction System and the sticks are sealed, so there is no blade and no tobacco residue to clean.
Choosing your first flavor
Silver is the lightest classic flavor, Amber and Yellow are balanced, Turquoise is menthol. See the flavor guide.
