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
- Insert a TEREA or DELIA tobacco stick into the ILUMA device
- Press and hold the button (or auto-start activates on ILUMA i PRIME)
- The induction coil heats the metal element inside the stick
- Inhale the aerosol — the process does not involve combustion
- Session duration and puff count are manufacturer-stated approximate figures
Device vibrates at start and end of session. No device cleaning required between uses.
