Features Unique to the IQOS ILUMA i

Compared to previous IQOS generations, the IQOS ILUMA i provides the most personalised experience, with innovative features designed with the adult user in mind. Here are the IQOS ILUMA i features that set this device apart from the IQOS ILUMA family.

• – Touch Screen: The new device comes with a touch screen that displays key metrics such as pre-heating status, time left for your experience, and the number of available experiences (1 or 2).
• – Pause Mode: With the Pause Mode feature, adult users can pause their experience for up to 8 minutes and resume it.* The Pause Mode feature provides flexibility to enjoy the experience at your own pace. This is particularly useful for those who want the convenience of pausing and resuming their experience.
• – FlexPuff Feature: The FlexPuff feature is an innovation in the IQOS ILUMA i design. Depending on the way you puff, FlexPuff adapts to you and may provide 4 extra puffs (on top of 14 puffs)**. With FlexPuff, since the system analyses your experience automatically, no action is required from you.

With advanced features like Touch Screen, Pause Mode, and FlexPuff, you can now personalise and enhance your experience, as well as choose from a range of new sleek IQOS ILUMA i accessories . Upgrade to IQOS ILUMA i for a personalised experience.

*Only available in Performance Mode, during the first 3 minutes or 8 puffs of the experience. When pause is activated, Performance Mode gives you up to two consecutive experiences, and pause is available only for one of them.

**FlexPuff is designed to work with tobacco sticks. Activation and number of puffs depend on individual usage patterns, thus extra puffs might not apply to all adult consumers and/or experiences. FlexPuff does not activate when pause is used.
