IQOS ILUMA I Standard Violet

How the ILUMA I Standard Violet handles a session

Pick the ILUMA I Standard Violet up and the touchscreen wakes with a battery read-out rather than leaving you guessing. Slide a TEREA stick into the holder and auto-start takes over immediately - there's no button to hunt for and no countdown to sit through before the first draw. SMARTCORE induction heating warms the stick from the inside, so the session runs clean, without ash to tip out or a burnt smell clinging to your fingers afterwards.

Flex Puff lets you open the draw up or ease off it through the session rather than accepting one fixed setting, which is worth trying if you're used to varying how hard you pull. Battery life covers a working session without a mid-way top-up, and a full charge from empty takes roughly 135 minutes on the supplied USB cable, so it suits an overnight or over-lunch charge rather than a five-minute one.

Each ILUMA I Standard Violet ships with the device itself, a charging cable and a cleaning tool, which covers everything needed to start running TEREA sticks straight out of the box.

Who picks the Violet finish

TEREA 365 lists the ILUMA I Standard in more than one colour, and Violet is the one people choose when they want the device noticed rather than left face-down on a table. It suits someone upgrading from an older device who fancies a change, or a first-time ILUMA buyer who'd rather not default to black. It also works well if you already use TEREA sticks and simply need a second or replacement device, since colour has no bearing on ordering or day-to-day use. If you want something that stays low-key in a bag, on a desk or in a shared workspace, this shade isn't built for that - it's the opposite of discreet.

Violet against the other Standard colours

Violet, Breeze Blue, Midnight Black and Vivid Terracotta are the same ILUMA I Standard underneath - identical SMARTCORE induction heating, the same Flex Puff and Pause Mode, the same roughly 135-minute charge. Nothing about the internals changes with the shell colour, so choosing between them is a question of which one you'd rather carry, not which one performs better on the day.

• IQOS ILUMA I Standard Vivid Terracotta - same device, terracotta finish

Setting the Violet up with TEREA sticks

Charge the device fully before using it for the first time. From there, insert a TEREA stick and auto-start handles the rest without any button press. Use Flex Puff to adjust the draw as you go, and tap Pause if you need to step away mid-session without losing where you were. When the stick is spent, pull it out and run the cleaning tool through the holder every so often so it keeps drawing evenly session after session.

• Charge fully on the supplied USB cable before first use
• Insert a TEREA stick - auto-start begins heating on its own
• Adjust the draw through the session with Flex Puff
• Use Pause Mode to stop and resume without losing your settings
• Clean the holder with the supplied tool after use

Picking a TEREA flavour to start with

The device colour doesn't change the session, but the TEREA stick you load does. TEREA 365 stocks TEREA across a spread of origins, and each one reads differently in the ILUMA I Standard: TEREA Indonesian gives a rich, full-bodied classic tobacco taste, TEREA Japan is lighter and smoother for a gentler pull, TEREA Kazakhstan comes across bolder with a slightly sweet edge, and TEREA Italy sits balanced and aromatic. Ordering a couple of different origins alongside the device is a reasonable way to find which one suits your palate before committing to a carton.

One thing worth knowing before you order

The ILUMA I Standard only takes TEREA sticks, so if you like switching between different heated tobacco stick brands, this device won't give you that flexibility - it's built around TEREA and nothing else. Charging time is the other trade-off to plan around: roughly 135 minutes from a flat battery means it isn't something you can grab empty and use straight away, so it's worth putting it on charge before you actually need it rather than after.
