What's the difference between IQOS 3 DUO and IQOS ILUMA?

The devices of the new IQOS ILUMA series have all the features you know from the IQOS 3 DUO . In particular, with IQOS ILUMA PRIME and IQOS ILUMA you can have 2 consecutive uses and 20 experiences in total, as you were already used to.


But what are the differences between them?

The features that make the IQOS ILUMA devices stand out from the IQOS 3 DUO are even more! Find out all the unique features of each below.


IQOS ILUMA’s unique features

IQOS ILUMA comes in new colors and there are with a range of new accessories. The new TEREA tobacco sticks have been designed exclusively for IQOS ILUMA with the taste you love, improved draw and generous vapor.

But the biggest difference is inside.

IQOS ILUMA’s SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats tobacco from the inside with a sealed stick with no blade. And no blade means:

• No cleaning
• No tobacco residue
• No more broken blades
• Easy insertion and removal of the TEREA tobacco sticks

But that’s not all. We’ve added advanced features.

• Autostart function enables heating as soon as you insert the tobacco stick
• Smart gestures enabled by the IQOS app
• Double tap to check the status of the experience
• Lift the holder to check battery status


IQOS 3 DUO’s unique features

IQOS 3 DUO has unique colors and unique accessories. But those aren’t the only unique things about IQOS 3 DUO.

• It uses HEATCONTROL technology with blade heating.
• Compact HEETS tobacco sticks with visible tobacco part.

IQOS ILUMA™ is used exclusively with TEREA™ tobacco sticks. The use of TEREA™ smoke rods in combination with previous generations of IQOS may cause damage to your IQOS ILUMA™ device. Improper use may damage the device. TEREA™ sticks contain metal parts. Keep out of reach of children to prevent disassembly or ingestion.

Do not ingest or disassemble TEREA sticks. This product contains a sharp metal part that can cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.
