What is the difference between IQOS Illuma and IQOS?
Unlike the existing IQOS, the IQOS Illuma has no blades and works by heating the entire stick. IQOS uses blades to heat the center of the stick. And unlike IQOS, which requires cleaning, IQOS Illuma does not require cleaning or the need for cleaning is significantly reduced. In addition, IQOS Illuma requires the use of a dedicated stick, Teria, which has a built-in hit. IQOS Illuma has an auto-start function, so it has the advantage of automatically heating when the stick is inserted. The existing IQOS operates by pressing a button.

Comparison of IQOS Illuma and Relable
1) How it works
While the IQOS Illuma has no blades and heats the entire stick, the Reel Able uses blades to heat the center of the stick, so cleaning is essential. A strong advantage of IQOS Illuma is that it does not require cumbersome cleaning. IQOS Illuma requires the use of Teria, a dedicated stick, but Teria has improved hitting feel and amount of smoke compared to existing hits. Lil Able uses Aim, a dedicated stick, and Aim comes in three types: Real, Granular, and Vapor Sticks, providing various flavors and hitting sensations.
2) function
The IQOS Illuma and Prime have an auto-start function that automatically heats up when a stick is inserted. Reel Able also has an auto start function. However, the IQOS Illuma One is operated by pressing a button. The IQOS Illuma One has a holder and a pocket charger all in one, so it can be used 20 times in a row. IQOS Illuma and Prime can be used twice in a row as the holder and pocket charger are separated. Lil Able also has a separate holder and pocket charger, which can be used up to three times in a row.
3) Price
IQOS Illuma is priced at KRW 139,000 for the premium model, and KRW 200,000 for Lil Able for the premium model.
* Based on recommended consumer price as of March 2023
4) design
IQOS Illuma is a luxurious and sophisticated design with emotional colors and textures in aluminum form. It has a history of winning the world’s three major design awards. On the other hand, Lil Able’s design feels like an IT device. OLED touch screen and AI function are applied.
5) Comparison of hit feeling and haze amount
Generally speaking, IQOS Illuma’s feel is stronger and heavier. Reel Able is said to have more haze and richness. This is due to the difference in the heating method of each product and the type of stick. IQOS Illuma uses an induction system that heats the entire stick and uses a stick that does not generate ash called Teria. Therefore, it is evaluated that the impact is strong, but the amount of smoke is small. Reel Able uses a blade system that heats the center of the stick and uses three types of aim: real, granular, and vapor stick. Due to this, the amount of smoke is high, but the feeling of impact is weak.
For those who value hitting feel, IQOS Illuminai and those who value the amount of smoke I think, Lil Able is more suitable. However, since cigarettes can vary considerably depending on individual tastes and preferences, it is recommended that you try them out and make your choice.
