IQOS ILUMA i: Sophisticated Technology and Elegance

The latest technological breakthrough from the team of scientists at IQOS is the revolutionary IQOS ILUMA series, which uses SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM technology. This series of innovations now expands with the introduction of new and improved features brought by the IQOS ILUMA i series.
The new series comes in three different versions: IQOS ILUMA i, IQOS ILUMA i One, and IQOS ILUMA i PRIME.

All three offer unique features and functionalities, providing different user experiences. Two of the versions come with a brand-new, intuitive, and easy-to-use touchscreen display.

The IQOS ILUMA i devices use the same heating technology as the previous generation of IQOS ILUMA devices—specifically, a specially designed induction technology that enables a smoke-free, ash-free, and cleaning-free experience. However, the new generation is further enhanced with a touchscreen and new features.

Why choose the new IQOS ILUMA i devices?

If you're thinking about making a change, take a look at the new IQOS ILUMA i and be among the first to own the new device. You can also use the opportunity and receive a voucher for the new devices by voting on the IQOS Curious X page and help redefine traditional Macedonian music in a modern way.

But let's get to the point—what exactly do the new IQOS ILUMA i devices offer compared to past versions?

Some of the main reasons why the new IQOS ILUMA i devices are better include completely new features like FLEXBattery and the Pause option. These provide greater flexibility and personalization of the experience.

For example:
FLEXBattery extends the battery life of the holder in the IQOS ILUMA i and IQOS ILUMA i PRIME—but only when used entirely in Eco Mode throughout the holder’s entire lifespan. Results may vary depending on personal usage.

The Pause option is another new feature that gives you a personalized experience and easier use of your IQOS device—something that was not available in previous IQOS versions. With the Pause option, you can extend the experience for up to 8 minutes, offering much more flexibility.

Another feature that IQOS ILUMA i has retained from previous generations is the automatic start of the experience. This has proven to be an excellent solution, which is why it remains part of the new devices.

A New IQOS App for a Complete Experience

Along with the new IQOS ILUMA i devices, a new IQOS app is also coming soon, allowing you to activate and control the features mentioned above.
