IQOS ILUMA i Series

Explore the complete IQOS ILUMA i Series in Dubai and across the UAE at UAE VAPE. The collection brings together the premium IQOS ILUMA i PRIME, advanced IQOS ILUMA i and compact IQOS ILUMA i ONE, allowing adult users to select the design and feature set that best suits their preferences.

Every device in the ILUMA i family uses the bladeless SMARTCORE Induction System and is designed for compatible TEREA or other approved SMARTCORE sticks. The main differences are construction, portability, touchscreen availability, Pause Mode and battery configuration.

Buy IQOS ILUMA i Series in Dubai, UAE

The IQOS ILUMA i Series is the intelligent evolution of the original ILUMA platform. It retains bladeless induction heating while adding features that can provide more information, control and flexibility during each experience.

The collection includes three distinct choices:

• IQOS ILUMA i PRIME: the most premium and customisable model
• IQOS ILUMA i: the balanced advanced model
• IQOS ILUMA i ONE: the compact all-in-one model

All three are designed around the same core heating platform, but their controls and charging systems differ. This main collection helps customers compare the complete family before opening an individual model page for detailed specifications and available colours.

Official specifications list approximately 300mAh holder and 2700mAh pocket-charger batteries for the two-piece ILUMA i models, while ILUMA i ONE uses an approximately 1728mAh integrated battery. Regional specifications and package contents can vary. IQOS Philippines

Which IQOS ILUMA i should you choose?

Choose IQOS ILUMA i PRIME for premium design

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME is the flagship model. It combines the complete intelligent feature set with anodised aluminium, a textured wrap and broader exterior customisation.

Choose it if you want:

• Premium body materials
• Touchscreen holder
• Pause Mode
• FlexPuff
• Performance and Eco battery modes
• Up to three consecutive holder uses
• Interchangeable wrap options
• A flagship finish

Its main advantage over the standard ILUMA i is the exterior design and customisation rather than a different tobacco-heating system.

Choose IQOS ILUMA i for everyday balance

The standard IQOS ILUMA i provides the principal smart features of the PRIME model in a more straightforward pocket-charger body.

It may be the most suitable choice if you want:

• Touchscreen controls
• Pause and resume functionality
• FlexPuff
• FlexBattery
• AutoStart
• Up to three consecutive holder experiences
• Two-piece construction without the PRIME wrap

IQOS ILUMA i provides much of the flagship model’s functionality while focusing on a simpler exterior.

Choose IQOS ILUMA i ONE for compact portability

IQOS ILUMA i ONE combines the battery, heating chamber and controls in a single portable unit. There is no separate holder to return to a pocket charger after each experience.

Choose it if you prefer:

• One-piece construction
• Up to 20 consecutive uses from a full charge
• Approximately 90-minute charging
• FlexPuff
• AutoStart
• Easy everyday carrying
• Fewer components to manage

The trade-off is that ILUMA i ONE does not offer Touch Screen, Pause Mode or FlexBattery.

SMARTCORE Induction System

Every device in the IQOS ILUMA i Series uses SMARTCORE induction heating. Instead of an exposed blade inside the holder, the system activates a metal heating component sealed within each compatible stick.

This design provides:

• No exposed heating blade
• No blade breakage
• No loose tobacco residue under normal use
• No traditional holder-cleaning routine
• Simple stick insertion and extraction
• Consistent compatibility across the ILUMA i family

Official IQOS guidance states that TEREA SMARTCORE sticks are intended for the IQOS ILUMA platform and that using other tobacco sticks may damage the device. www.iqos.com

Heating tobacco instead of burning it does not make the product harmless. The aerosol still contains nicotine and other chemicals.

TEREA compatibility

The complete IQOS ILUMA i Series is compatible with genuine TEREA and other approved SMARTCORE sticks made for the ILUMA platform.

Compatible

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

Not compatible

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

TEREA must not be used in older blade-based IQOS devices, and HEETS must not be inserted into an ILUMA i device.

Available TEREA collections

UAE VAPE may offer compatible TEREA editions packaged for markets including:

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

Depending on current stock, customers can explore traditional tobacco, woody, roasted, nutty, cooling menthol, aromatic and capsule profiles.

The country shown in a collection or product name generally identifies its intended market edition. It should not automatically be interpreted as the manufacturing country unless confirmed on the carton.

Touch Screen

The holder supplied with IQOS ILUMA i PRIME and IQOS ILUMA i has an interactive touchscreen. It displays:

• Preheating progress
• Preheating completion
• Remaining session time
• Available holder experiences
• Pause status

The ILUMA i ONE does not have a touchscreen. It communicates through status lights, vibrations and its physical button.

Pause Mode

Pause Mode is available on:

• IQOS ILUMA i PRIME
• IQOS ILUMA i

Pause Mode is not available on:

• IQOS ILUMA i ONE

When supported conditions are met, the feature allows an experience to be paused and resumed within approximately eight minutes.

Pause must generally be activated:

• In Performance Mode
• During one of the first two experiences
• Within the first three minutes or eight puffs
• Before Pause has already been used in that experience

Using Pause Mode limits a fully charged holder to up to two consecutive experiences rather than three. Official guidance confirms that the third use is available only in Performance Mode when Pause has not been used. hu.iqos.com

FlexPuff

FlexPuff is available across all three IQOS ILUMA i Series models.

A standard session lasts until either:

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

whichever occurs first.

FlexPuff may provide up to four additional puffs based on the user’s pattern, while keeping the complete experience within the six-minute limit. It does not activate for every customer or during every session.

On the two-piece models, FlexPuff does not activate during an experience in which Pause Mode is used.

FlexBattery

FlexBattery is available on IQOS ILUMA i PRIME and IQOS ILUMA i. It allows the holder to operate in two modes.

IQOS ILUMA i ONE uses an integrated battery and therefore does not include FlexBattery settings.

AutoStart

All three models support AutoStart. When a new compatible SMARTCORE stick is correctly inserted, the device can begin preheating automatically.

On IQOS ILUMA i and i PRIME, preheating can also be initiated by swiping upward on the holder’s touchscreen. On i ONE, it can be started manually using the device button.

The device vibrates when preheating begins and again when it is ready.

Up to 20 uses per full charge

Each model is designed to provide up to approximately 20 experiences from a fully charged system.

The way those experiences are delivered differs:

• ILUMA i PRIME: the holder is recharged inside its pocket charger.
• ILUMA i: the holder is recharged inside its pocket charger.
• ILUMA i ONE: the integrated device provides up to 20 consecutive uses directly.

Actual battery life varies with temperature, battery condition, session pattern and charging habits.

Charging times

The two-piece systems take approximately 135 minutes to charge their pocket chargers fully. IQOS ILUMA i ONE takes approximately 90 minutes. www.iqos.com

Use a compatible certified USB-C charging system. The AC power adaptor may be sold separately, depending on the selected package.

The primary upgrades are intelligent session information, greater battery flexibility and the potential for adjusted puff delivery.

How to use an IQOS ILUMA i device

Although the controls vary by model, the general process is:

1. Charge the device before first use.
2. Switch it on if required.
3. Insert a new compatible TEREA stick up to its filter line.
4. Allow AutoStart to begin preheating.
5. Wait for the readiness vibration.
6. Use the touchscreen or status lights to monitor the session.
7. Remove the stick after the device signals completion.
8. Dispose of the used stick responsibly.
9. Return a two-piece holder to its pocket charger.

Do not twist or force the stick during insertion or removal.

Cleaning and maintenance

IQOS ILUMA i devices do not require traditional heating-blade cleaning. For routine care:

• Keep the holder chamber free from foreign objects.
• Wipe external surfaces using a dry, soft cloth.
• Keep the touchscreen clean and dry.
• Protect the USB-C port from dust and moisture.
• Do not insert brushes or metal tools into the chamber.
• Do not wash or immerse any component.
• Keep the device away from direct sunlight.
• Store TEREA packs closed and dry.

UAE temperatures can become extreme. Never leave an IQOS device or TEREA pack inside a parked vehicle.

Basic troubleshooting

Device does not start

Check the battery level and charge the device. Confirm that it is switched on and that a new compatible SMARTCORE stick is inserted correctly.

AutoStart is not working

Remove and reinsert the stick. On supported models, check the IQOS app to ensure AutoStart is enabled. Begin manually using the holder gesture or button if necessary.

Red light appears

Place the holder inside its pocket charger and reset the system by holding the charger button for approximately ten seconds. For i ONE, hold its device button according to the supplied manual.

White lights flash twice

The device may be outside its supported operating-temperature range. Let it return gradually to a moderate temperature before trying again.

Pause Mode is unavailable

Confirm that the device is an ILUMA i or i PRIME, Performance Mode is enabled and you are still within the first three minutes or eight puffs.

A third holder experience is unavailable

The holder may not have been fully charged, Pause may have been used, or temperature and battery conditions may have limited its available power.

SMARTCORE stick safety

TEREA sticks contain a sharp metal component. Do not:

• Cut or disassemble them
• Crush or chew them
• Swallow any portion
• Allow children or pets to handle them
• Reuse a finished stick
• Insert them into blade-based devices

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