IQOS ILUMA Guide 2026: Models, Sticks & How It Works

Updated September 7, 2026

18+ only. This product contains nicotine, which is addictive. For adult smokers and tobacco users only.

This guide covers the IQOS ILUMA range — the current generation of IQOS heated tobacco devices in 2026.

What Is IQOS ILUMA?

IQOS ILUMA uses SmartCore Induction System™ technology. No heating blade inside the device — tobacco sticks are heated from within using induction. No device cleaning required. Compatible with TEREA and DELIA sticks only — not HEETS.

How IQOS ILUMA Works

  1. Insert a TEREA or DELIA tobacco stick into the ILUMA device
  2. Press and hold the button (or auto-start activates on ILUMA i PRIME)
  3. The induction coil heats the metal element inside the stick
  4. Inhale the aerosol — the process does not involve combustion
  5. Session duration and puff count are manufacturer-stated approximate figures

Device vibrates at start and end of session. No device cleaning required between uses.
