IQOS Device Guide
IQOS devices heat tobacco rather than burn it. Nothing is set alight, so there is no ash and no smoke — only the taste of the tobacco itself. Getting the routine right is what keeps that taste consistent and keeps the device in good working order.
Before You Start
- Start with a charged device. Check the battery before you begin rather than halfway through.
- Insert the stick the right way up. Slide the tobacco stick straight in with the filter facing upwards, and do not twist it between your fingers on the way in.
- Wait for the ready signal. Switch the device on and wait until it vibrates or the light settles and holds steady. That signal means the heating cycle has finished and the device is ready.
During the Session
- Draw slowly and evenly. Calm, balanced draws hold the flavour steady from the first to the last. Short, forceful draws pull against the heating cycle and the taste suffers for it.
- Leave the stick alone. Never move, pull or rotate the stick while it is seated in the device. That is the fastest way to damage the internal heating element.
- Clear it out at the end. As soon as the device shuts itself off, take the used stick out and dispose of it instead of leaving it in place.
Match the Stick to the Device
Each generation of device takes its own range of sticks, and the two ranges are not interchangeable.
- ILUMA devices are built around TEREA sticks. A TEREA stick will not fit an IQOS 3 DUO.
- Earlier models take the older stick range, and those sticks will not work in an ILUMA at all. ILUMA heats by induction and has no blade inside, so there is nothing for an older stick to sit against.
Sticking to the range intended for your model is the simplest way to protect the heating system inside it.
