Specifications, available features and box contents can vary by region or production batch. The information printed on the supplied package and user guide should be treated as the final reference.

Interactive Touch Screen

The touchscreen is one of the principal upgrades over the earlier IQOS ILUMA PRIME. It displays information directly on the holder, including:

  • Preheating progress
  • Preheating completion
  • Approximate remaining session time
  • Available holder experiences
  • Pause availability
  • Pause status

After inserting a compatible TEREA stick, preheating can begin automatically through AutoStart. It can also be initiated by swiping upward on the touchscreen. Official UAE guidance states that preheating takes approximately 20 seconds. IQOS United Arab Emirates

The touchscreen must be clean, dry and free from damage. Gloves or wet fingers may prevent gestures from registering correctly.

How Pause Mode works

Pause Mode lets you temporarily interrupt a session and resume it within the permitted period.

Pause Mode is available only when:

  • FlexBattery is set to Performance Mode
  • It is activated during one of the first two holder experiences
  • It is activated within the first three minutes or eight puffs
  • Pause has not already been used during that experience
  • The holder has sufficient battery power

To pause, swipe downward across the full touchscreen. To resume, swipe upward. The pause can last for up to approximately eight minutes; if the allowed time expires, that experience ends and cannot be resumed.

Using Pause Mode changes the available holder capacity. A fully charged holder normally provides:

  • Up to three consecutive uses in Performance Mode when Pause is not used, or
  • Up to two consecutive uses when Pause Mode is used

Official support information confirms that Pause Mode is not available in Eco Mode and that it must be activated within the first three minutes or eight puffs. IQOS Hungary

FlexPuff explained

FlexPuff adapts to the user’s pattern and may provide up to four additional puffs when its operating conditions are met.

A normal experience lasts until either:

  • 14 puffs are completed, or
  • Six minutes have passed,

whichever comes first.

FlexPuff does not extend the experience beyond the maximum six-minute duration. Additional puffs are not guaranteed because activation depends on individual use.

FlexPuff is not available during an experience in which Pause Mode is used. Customers therefore choose between the possible FlexPuff extension and pausing that particular session.

FlexBattery: Performance or Eco Mode

FlexBattery allows the holder’s battery behaviour to be adjusted through the supported IQOS app.

Battery setting Performance Mode Eco Mode
Holder uses Up to 3 consecutive uses when Pause is not used 1 use per holder charge
Pause Mode Available under supported conditions Not available
FlexPuff Available when conditions are met Available when conditions are met
Battery priority Maximum flexibility Longer holder-battery lifespan
Best for Customers wanting consecutive sessions Customers prioritising battery longevity

Performance Mode

Performance Mode is the default choice for customers who want access to Pause Mode and multiple consecutive sessions. A fully charged holder can provide up to three consecutive experiences when Pause is not used.

Eco Mode

Eco Mode limits the charged holder to one experience. Its purpose is to help extend the holder battery’s useful lifespan over time. Pause Mode is unavailable while Eco Mode is enabled.

Up to three consecutive uses

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME can deliver up to three consecutive holder experiences, but this is conditional rather than guaranteed in every situation.

For the third use to remain available:

  • The holder must be fully charged.
  • Performance Mode must be enabled.
  • Pause Mode must not have been used during the first two experiences.
  • The device must be within its supported operating-temperature range.
  • The battery must be in suitable condition.

Official IQOS UAE material describes the model as supporting up to three consecutive uses in Performance Mode when Pause is not activated. IQOS United Arab Emirates

Up to 20 total uses per charge

The pocket charger stores enough power for up to approximately 20 holder experiences before the complete system needs to be recharged.

Actual performance can vary according to:

  • Holder mode
  • Use of Pause Mode
  • Frequency of sessions
  • Ambient temperature
  • Battery condition
  • Charging habits
  • Age of the device

Recharge the holder by returning it to the pocket charger and closing the wrap.

SMARTCORE Induction System

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME uses a bladeless induction system. A metal heating component sealed inside each compatible SMARTCORE stick is activated by the holder, heating the tobacco from within.

Practical benefits include:

  • No exposed heating blade
  • No blade breakage
  • No loose tobacco residue under normal operation
  • No regular heating-chamber cleaning
  • Easy insertion and removal
  • Controlled operation with compatible sticks

Official IQOS UAE guidance states that the system is intended only for TEREA SMARTCORE sticks and that using other sticks may damage the device. IQOS United Arab Emirates

Although the system heats rather than burns tobacco, the resulting nicotine aerosol is not harmless.

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME compatibility

Compatible products

  • TEREA tobacco sticks
  • Approved SMARTCORE sticks made for IQOS ILUMA
  • Genuine regional TEREA editions intended for ILUMA devices

Incompatible products

  • HEETS
  • Cigarettes
  • Loose tobacco
  • Fiit sticks
  • Marlboro HeatSticks for blade devices
  • Vape pods
  • E-liquid
  • Used TEREA sticks

HEETS are designed for older IQOS devices that contain a heating blade. They must not be inserted into IQOS ILUMA i PRIME.

Likewise, TEREA should never be inserted into an earlier blade-based IQOS device.

Compatible TEREA collections

Depending on UAE VAPE stock, compatible TEREA options may include market editions such as:

  • TEREA Italy
  • TEREA Japan
  • TEREA Indonesia
  • TEREA Kazakhstan
  • TEREA Uzbekistan
  • TEREA Switzerland

The available selection may cover classic tobacco, roasted, woody, nutty, menthol, fruit-accented and capsule profiles.

A country name normally identifies the intended market edition or packaging. It does not automatically confirm where the sticks were manufactured; check the carton when manufacturing-origin information matters.

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME colours

The original UAE collection was introduced in four core colours:

  • Breeze Blue
  • Aspen Green
  • Garnet Red
  • Midnight Black

Official IQOS UAE sources confirm these four launch colours. IQOS United Arab Emirates

Additional or later-market variants may include:

  • Electric Purple
  • Limited editions
  • Seasonal wraps
  • Special accessory combinations

IQOS UAE currently also maintains a listing for Electric Purple, indicating that the available regional range may extend beyond the four original finishes. IQOS United Arab Emirates

Colour and wrap availability depends on current UAE VAPE inventory.

Premium design and customisation

The pocket charger combines anodised aluminium with a textured wrap. This construction separates i PRIME visually from the standard ILUMA i, which uses a more conventional charger body.

Depending on accessory availability, customers may personalise the device using:

  • Replacement wraps
  • Holder rings
  • Protective sleeves
  • Charging accessories
  • Carrying cases

Accessories should be selected specifically for IQOS ILUMA i PRIME. Items made for the original ILUMA PRIME or standard ILUMA i may not have identical dimensions or attachment points.

Charging IQOS ILUMA i PRIME

The pocket charger takes approximately 135 minutes to charge fully using a compatible USB-C cable and suitable certified power adaptor. The adaptor may be sold separately depending on package configuration. IQOS United Arab Emirates

For reliable charging:

  • Use a compatible 5V/2A certified adaptor.
  • Keep the charging port clean and dry.
  • Charge indoors in a ventilated area.
  • Keep the device away from direct UAE sunlight.
  • Do not leave it in a parked vehicle.
  • Avoid charging a wet or damaged device.
  • Disconnect it if it becomes unusually hot.
  • Do not charge unattended overnight.

When the holder is not in use, store it inside the charged pocket charger.

Cleaning and daily care

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME does not require traditional blade cleaning because it has no blade and TEREA sticks are sealed.

Recommended care:

  • Wipe the holder and pocket charger with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Keep the touchscreen clean and dry.
  • Remove dust from the USB-C port carefully.
  • Keep the charger wrap away from liquids.
  • Do not insert a cleaning brush or metal object into the chamber.
  • Never rinse or immerse either component.
  • Store TEREA packs closed and away from heat or humidity.

Avoid leaving the device or sticks inside a hot car. Extreme UAE temperatures may affect battery performance and the condition of the sticks.

Troubleshooting

The touchscreen does not respond

Remove gloves and ensure your fingers and the screen are clean and dry. Charge the holder and try again. If the screen is cracked or physically damaged, stop using the device.

Pause Mode is unavailable

Confirm that Performance Mode is active. Pause cannot be used in Eco Mode, after the first three minutes or eight puffs, or more than once during the same experience.

A third use is unavailable

The holder may not have been fully charged, Pause may have been used, or the device may be outside its supported temperature range. Return the holder to the charger and allow it to recharge.

AutoStart does not work

Confirm that a new TEREA stick is inserted correctly. Check through the IQOS app that AutoStart has not been disabled. Preheating can also be started by swiping upward on the holder screen.

The holder flashes red

Place the holder inside the pocket charger and perform a reset by holding the charger button for approximately ten seconds until the lights fade and flash. Seek support if the red-light warning returns.

White lights flash twice

The device may be outside its recommended operating-temperature range of approximately 0°C to 40°C. Allow it to return gradually to a suitable temperature.

The session ends early

A session finishes when its time or puff allowance is reached. FlexPuff is conditional and will not activate during every experience.

SMARTCORE stick safety

TEREA contains a sharp metal heating element. Never:

  • Cut or open a stick
  • Crush or chew it
  • Swallow any part
  • Allow children or pets to handle it
  • Reinsert a used stick
  • Use it in a blade-based IQOS device

Seek urgent medical assistance if any part of a SMARTCORE stick is swallowed.
