If you’re already an IQOS ILUMA user in Dubai and you’ve heard about the 2024 ILUMA I generation, you’re probably asking the same question everyone else is: what actually changed, and is it worth upgrading? This guide gives you a straightforward, honest answer \u2014 no marketing fluff, just the practical differences that matter for daily use in the UAE.<\/p>\n
Let’s start here because a lot is the same. The fundamental technology \u2014 SmartCore Induction \u2014 is identical. The ILUMA I heats TEREA sticks<\/a> the same way the original ILUMA<\/a> does: blade-free, from within, with no cleaning required. TEREA stick compatibility is exactly the same: every flavor, every country edition<\/a> works equally well in both generations. The form factor options are the same: Standard<\/a>, Prime<\/a> (flagship), and One<\/a> (single-piece beginner-friendly). The core heat-not-burn experience you know from your original ILUMA is preserved entirely.<\/p>\n Two changes apply right across the ILUMA i range. Auto Start lights the stick as you draw, so there is no button to press to begin a session. FlexPuff adds extra puffs based on how you draw, instead of ending the session at a fixed point. Both are new in the i generation and both are present on the i One, the i Standard and the i Prime.<\/p>\n Two more changes belong to the holder-based models only. The ILUMA i and the ILUMA i Prime add Pause Mode, so you can stop a stick partway through and come back to it later, and both read out on a touch display. The ILUMA i One has neither \u2014 it uses status lights instead, which is the trade-off for being a single pocket unit.<\/p>\n How far a device gets between top-ups depends on the format rather than on the generation. The ILUMA i One runs up to 20 sticks per charge. The ILUMA i and the ILUMA i Prime take three sticks back to back before the pocket charger tops the holder up. Those are the figures we can state; we do not publish a battery or charging comparison against the original ILUMA because we cannot verify one.<\/p>\n If you want the newer session controls:<\/strong> Yes. Auto Start and FlexPuff apply across the whole i range, and on the ILUMA i and i Prime you also get Pause Mode and a touch display. Those are the concrete differences between the generations.<\/p>\n If your current ILUMA already does what you need:<\/strong> The upgrade is not urgent. Your original ILUMA works exactly as it did \u2014 same TEREA compatibility, same SMARTCORE heating, same zero cleaning. Upgrade when the device wears out naturally.<\/p>\n If you’re buying for the first time:<\/strong> Buy the ILUMA i. It is the current generation, and it is what we stock across all three formats.<\/p>\n TereaStore.ae stocks the IQOS ILUMA i range in all three formats \u2014 i One, i Standard and i Prime.
