After a year of daily use, IQOS ILUMA demonstrates solid build quality and dependable performance. The device’s sturdy construction helps it withstand everyday drops, pocket wear, and frequent charging cycles. Unlike blade-based models, there is no internal component degradation caused by residue, which significantly improves long-term reliability.


Battery life remains acceptable after 12 months, though heavy users may notice shorter intervals between charges. Charging speed stays consistent, and the device rarely overheats or malfunctions. The holder and pocket charger maintain a snug fit, indicating thoughtful engineering.


From a usability perspective, ILUMA continues to feel simple and intuitive. There is no learning curve, no cleaning routine, and minimal upkeep required. However, replacement costs for consumables remain a long-term consideration. While not immune to aging, IQOS ILUMA proves to be a durable and low-maintenance option for adult smokers looking for consistency over time.
