Which one fits you
ILUMA ONE is best for anyone who wants the smallest, simplest device with nothing extra to carry. ILUMA is best for users who want a slimmer holder in-hand and don't mind tapping it back into the charger between sessions. ILUMA PRIME is best for users who want the premium build and finish, same battery pattern as ILUMA Standard.
What they share

All work only with TEREA sticks: Exclusively compatible with TEREA sticks. Not compatible with HEETS (used by older IQOS 3 DUO / IQOS 2.4 blade-based devices).
