What Makes the Together X Edition Different?
The main distinction of the Together X edition is its special design and edition identity.
Premium PRIME Construction
The ILUMA i PRIME uses anodised aluminium together with a textured wrap, giving the device a more premium appearance and tactile finish.
Distinctive Edition Styling
Together X adds a special visual identity to the premium PRIME platform. This makes it different from standard color versions while maintaining the core ILUMA i PRIME technology.
SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM
One of the most important technologies in the device is the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM.
Blade-Free Heating
Unlike earlier IQOS generations that used a physical heating blade, ILUMA devices use induction heating. The compatible SMARTCORE stick contains the heating element, which interacts with the device’s induction system.
This blade-free architecture means there is no conventional heating blade to insert into or clean.
Designed for SMARTCORE STICKS
The ILUMA i PRIME is designed exclusively for compatible SMARTCORE STICKS, including TEREA and, in markets where supported, LEVIA.
Do not insert conventional HEETS or other incompatible sticks into the device.
Touch Screen
The touchscreen is one of the major upgrades introduced with the ILUMA i generation.
Device Information
The screen can provide information such as:
- Pre-heating status
- Remaining session time
- Available uses
- Device status
This gives users a more direct way to interact with the device rather than relying only on indicator lights.
Pause Mode
Pause Mode allows the user to temporarily pause a session under supported conditions.
Up to 8 Minutes
Official IQOS information states that Pause Mode can pause an experience for up to 8 minutes and allow the session to resume afterward.
Pause Mode has specific activation conditions. IQOS states that it is available only during the first three minutes or eight puffs of the experience and only once during two consecutive experiences.
FlexPuff Technology
Another feature of ILUMA i PRIME is FlexPuff.
Adaptive Session
FlexPuff adapts to the user’s usage pattern and may provide up to four additional puffs under supported conditions. IQOS notes that activation and the number of additional puffs depend on individual usage patterns, so additional puffs are not guaranteed for every session.
FlexBattery
The FlexBattery feature gives the holder different battery-use options.
Consecutive Sessions
Official specifications state that the holder can provide up to three consecutive uses when Pause Mode is not activated. When Pause Mode is used, the supported consecutive-use configuration can differ.
This makes the device more flexible for users who want to use multiple sticks without waiting for the holder to recharge between every session.
AutoStart
The ILUMA i PRIME also supports AutoStart.
When a compatible SMARTCORE stick is correctly inserted, the device can automatically begin the heating process, making operation more convenient. The exact behavior can depend on device settings and software.
How to Use IQOS ILUMA i PRIME Together X
Step 1: Charge the Device
Before the first session, make sure the IQOS ILUMA i PRIME is adequately charged.
The device uses USB Type-C charging.
Step 2: Select a Compatible Stick
Use an appropriate SMARTCORE STICK, such as a compatible TEREA stick.
Do not use HEETS or other sticks designed for older blade-based IQOS devices.
Step 3: Insert the Stick
Insert the TEREA stick into the holder according to the device instructions.
Avoid forcing the stick into the holder.
Step 4: Allow Heating to Begin
If AutoStart is enabled, heating may begin automatically after insertion. Otherwise, operate the device according to its instructions.
Step 5: Wait for the Ready Indication
The device will indicate when the heating process is ready.
Step 6: Use the Stick
Use the heated tobacco stick during the available session.
Step 7: Use Pause Mode if Required
If you need to temporarily stop the session and the feature is available, activate Pause Mode through the device controls.
Step 8: Remove the Stick
When the session ends, remove the used TEREA stick carefully.
Dispose of the used stick appropriately.
Which Sticks Can Be Used?
The IQOS ILUMA i PRIME is designed specifically for SMARTCORE STICKS. Official IQOS information identifies TEREA and LEVIA among the compatible stick formats, depending on market availability.
TEREA
TEREA is the main heated tobacco stick associated with the ILUMA platform.
It is available in different tobacco and flavor profiles depending on the market.
LEVIA
LEVIA is a tobacco-free nicotine stick available in selected markets and is also designed for ILUMA devices. Availability varies by country.
Do Not Use HEETS
HEETS are associated with older blade-based IQOS devices.
The ILUMA system should not be used with incompatible sticks because the heating technology is different. IQOS explicitly warns that ILUMA devices are designed only for SMARTCORE STICKS.

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME vs ILUMA i ONE
The ILUMA i ONE has an all-in-one design and is intended as a more compact option.
The PRIME, by comparison, uses a separate holder and pocket charger and offers the premium PRIME construction. The official comparison describes the ILUMA i ONE as a compact all-in-one device, while the PRIME is the more refined model.
Why Choose Together X?
Premium Appearance
The Together X edition is designed for users who want something more distinctive than a standard ILUMA i PRIME color.
Advanced Technology
It includes the major ILUMA i features, including touchscreen controls, Pause Mode, FlexPuff and FlexBattery.
Blade-Free Design
The induction system eliminates the conventional heating blade used by older IQOS devices.
Multiple Consecutive Sessions
The holder supports up to three consecutive uses under the manufacturer’s stated conditions.
Maintenance
One of the advantages of the ILUMA platform is its blade-free heating architecture.
No Conventional Blade Cleaning
Because the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM heats the stick without a traditional blade, the maintenance requirements differ from older IQOS models.
Nevertheless, keep the device clean and dry, and remove any visible debris around the holder.
Keep the Charging Port Dry
Avoid exposing the USB-C port to water or excessive moisture.
Protect the Exterior
Because the PRIME uses premium exterior materials, avoid dropping the device or exposing it to abrasive surfaces that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
The Device Does Not Start
Check:
- Battery level
- Stick compatibility
- Correct stick insertion
- Device status
- Charging connection
If the device remains unresponsive, consult the manufacturer’s support instructions.
The Stick Does Not Heat
Make sure you are using a compatible SMARTCORE STICK.
Using an incompatible stick can prevent the induction system from operating correctly.
The Touchscreen Does Not Respond
Make sure the device has sufficient battery and that the screen is clean and dry.
If the issue continues, follow the official troubleshooting procedure for your specific device.
