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

But what are the differences? Well, IQOS ILUMA and IQOS 3 DUO have unique features.

IQOS ILUMA unique features

IQOS ILUMA Pocket Chargers have new colours and there are new accessories for them. New TEREA tobacco sticks have been designed for IQOS ILUMA with the taste you love and improved draw and generous vapour.

• Easy insertion and extraction of TEREA tobacco sticks

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

• Autostart preheating as soon as you insert the tobacco stick
• Smart gestures enabled by the IQOS app
• Double tap to feel how much of the experience is left
• Lift the holder to check battery status
