The Heating Experience — The Same
Both devices use SmartCore Induction System™. Both are compatible with TEREA and DELIA sticks. Differences are in convenience features only.
Auto-Start — PRIME Only
Insert a TEREA or DELIA stick and the ILUMA i PRIME begins heating automatically. The ILUMA i ONE requires a button press.
Pocket Charger Case — PRIME Only
The PRIME includes a premium leather-effect pocket charging case. The ONE charges directly via USB-C with no case. If a charging case is the main consideration, the mid-range IQOS ILUMA i includes a case at a lower price than the PRIME.
Which to Consider
ILUMA i ONE may suit you if:
- New to IQOS and want to start at the entry-level price
- Pocket case and auto-start are not priorities
ILUMA i PRIME may suit you if:
- You want auto-start and a pocket charging case
- You prefer the premium finish
