What Is the New IQOS ILUMA i PRIME?

\nThe IQOS ILUMA i PRIME is the premium device in the latest IQOS ILUMA i range, succeeding the previous IQOS ILUMA PRIME. \n \nBoth generations use SMARTCORE induction heating, but the newer i PRIME adds a more interactive holder and several software-based functions that were not available on the previous model. \n \nThe main new features are: \n

\n
• Touch Screen
\n
• Pause Mode
\n
• FlexPuff
\n
• FlexBattery
\n
• Up to three consecutive uses in Performance Mode
\n

\nThe PRIME version also keeps the distinctive Pocket Charger with interchangeable wrap-style exterior panels. \n

SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™

\nIQOS ILUMA i PRIME does not use the exposed ceramic heating blade found in older IQOS generations. \n \nInstead, it uses the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ to heat the specially designed element inside a compatible TEREA SMARTCORE STICK™. \n \nThis means: \n

\n
• No heating blade to insert into tobacco
\n
• No blade breakage during normal stick insertion
\n
• No loose tobacco residue around a blade
\n
• No routine blade cleaning
\n
• Only compatible SMARTCORE sticks activate the device
\n

\nThe device heats tobacco rather than using vape e-liquid. \n

Designed Only for TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™

\nIQOS ILUMA i PRIME is designed specifically for TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™. \n \nIQOS UAE states that HEETS cannot be used because the ILUMA i PRIME does not contain the heating element required for older HEETS sticks. The device is designed to activate only when a compatible SMARTCORE stick is inserted. \n

Compatible

\n

\n
• TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS™
\n
• Compatible SMARTCORE tobacco sticks approved for the ILUMA platform
\n

\n

Not Compatible

\n

\n
• HEETS
\n
• Older blade-based IQOS tobacco sticks
\n
• Vape pods
\n
• E-liquid
\n
• Cigarettes
\n

\nDo not insert unsupported products into the holder. \n

New Touch Screen

\nOne of the biggest changes from the original ILUMA PRIME is the Touch Screen built into the holder. \n \nThe screen provides information including: \n

\n
• Preheating progress
\n
• Remaining experience time
\n
• Number of available uses
\n
• Pause Mode status
\n

\nInstead of relying only on vibration and basic lights, the holder provides more visible information while it is being used. \n

Pause Mode – Pause for Up to 8 Minutes

\nThe new Pause Mode allows an active experience to be paused for up to 8 minutes and resumed afterwards. \n \nTo pause: \n

\n
1. Swipe down across the entire Touch Screen.
\n
2. The holder vibrates to confirm Pause Mode.
\n
3. The display indicates the countdown.
\n

\nTo resume: \n

\n
1. Swipe upward across the full Touch Screen.
\n
2. The holder begins reheating.
\n
3. A vibration and light indication show when it is ready.
\n

\nPause Mode is available only under specific conditions. \n \nIt must be activated: \n

\n
• In Performance Mode
\n
• During the first 3 minutes or first 8 puffs
\n
• For one eligible experience
\n

\nIf the holder is not resumed within 8 minutes, it automatically switches off. \n

FlexPuff – May Provide Up to 4 Extra Puffs

\nA normal IQOS ILUMA i experience lasts for up to 14 puffs or 6 minutes, whichever comes first. \n \nFlexPuff analyses the user's puffing pattern and may provide up to four additional puffs, still within the maximum six-minute experience duration. \n \nFlexPuff works automatically when enabled. \n \nHowever, extra puffs are not guaranteed. \n \nActivation depends on individual usage patterns, and FlexPuff does not activate during an experience in which Pause Mode has been used. \n

FlexBattery With Two Modes

\nIQOS ILUMA i PRIME includes FlexBattery, allowing the holder to operate in two modes: \n

Performance Mode

\nThis is the default setting. \n \nPerformance Mode provides either: \n

\n
• Up to 2 consecutive uses with one Pause Mode opportunity
\n

\nor \n

\n
• Up to 3 consecutive uses when Pause Mode is not used
\n

\nEach standard experience can last up to 6 minutes. \n

Eco Mode

\nEco Mode limits the holder to one use per charge cycle. \n \nPause Mode is not available in Eco Mode. \n \nIQOS states that consistently using Eco Mode throughout the holder's life may extend holder battery lifespan by up to one year, although actual battery longevity varies with usage. \n \nThe mode can be changed through the IQOS app. \n

Up to 3 Consecutive Uses

\nA major advantage over previous generations is the ability to get up to three consecutive experiences from the holder when it is operating in Performance Mode and Pause Mode has not been used. \n \nIf Pause Mode is used, Performance Mode instead provides up to two consecutive experiences. \n \nThis distinction is important: \n \n3 uses: Performance Mode, without Pause Mode \n2 uses: Performance Mode when Pause Mode is used \n1 use: Eco Mode \n

Up to 20 Uses From the Pocket Charger

\nAccording to the current IQOS UAE product page, a fully charged ILUMA i PRIME Pocket Charger supports up to 20 uses before the Pocket Charger itself needs recharging. \n \nActual charging frequency can depend on: \n

\n
• Number of sessions
\n
• Holder battery mode
\n
• Charging habits
\n
• Battery age
\n
• Environmental temperature
\n

\n

Approximately 135-Minute Full Charge

\nIQOS recommends fully charging the Pocket Charger before first use. \n \nThe official UAE support guide specifies approximately 135 minutes for a full Pocket Charger charge using the appropriate cable and compatible power adaptor. \n \nThe AC power adaptor is not necessarily included with the kit. \n

Automatic Preheating

\nUsing the device is straightforward. \n \nWhen a compatible TEREA SMARTCORE STICK™ is inserted to the correct depth, the holder can automatically begin preheating. The Touch Screen shows the preheating status. \n \nOnce the holder vibrates again, it is ready for use. \n \nThe screen's light guide then indicates the remaining experience time. \n

No Regular Cleaning Required

\nBecause the SMARTCORE heating element is located inside the compatible stick rather than exposed inside the holder, the ILUMA platform does not require the same routine cleaning associated with older blade-based IQOS devices. \n \nIQOS describes the system as having: \n

\n
• No heating blade
\n
• No tobacco residue from blade insertion
\n
• No regular cleaning requirement
\n

\nThe exterior, charging contacts, and Pocket Charger should still be kept clean and dry. \n

Premium PRIME Wrap Design

\nThe ILUMA i PRIME is distinguished from the standard ILUMA i by its premium Pocket Charger design. \n \nIts exterior wrap can be changed for compatible alternatives, allowing the appearance of the device to be customised. \n \nIQOS UAE lists compatible accessory types including: \n

\n
• Premium Wraps
\n
• Leather Wraps
\n
• Sensory Texture Wraps
\n
• Ring Sets
\n

\nIQOS also states that corresponding ILUMA accessories such as wraps, rings, and charging docks remain compatible with the equivalent ILUMA i generation. \n

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME Colours in UAE

\nThe original UAE launch offered four colours: \n

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

\nThe current UAE store has since added a newer fifth option: \n

Electric Purple

\nElectric Purple is now listed by IQOS UAE as a new ILUMA i PRIME colour alongside the earlier finishes. \n \nTherefore, the current UAE selection includes: \n

\n
• Electric Purple
\n
• Breeze Blue
\n
• Aspen Green
\n
• Garnet Red
\n
• Midnight Black
\n

\nColour availability can change according to current inventory. \n

\nThe main upgrade is therefore not the heating principle. Both generations already use SMARTCORE induction. \n \nThe ILUMA i PRIME adds a smarter holder interface and new control features. \n

\n
• SMARTCORE induction
\n
