Brown is the warmest finish in the ILUMA i ONE range — a soft earth tone on a compact one-piece body that combines Holder and charger. The most understated option after Midnight Black, and the one that reads least like a gadget.
Inside is Philip Morris International’s newest generation: the SMARTCORE Induction System with AutoStart/AutoStop, FlexPuff, and a 2700 mAh battery. No blade, no residue, no cleaning.
The IQOS App: What You Can and Can’t Change
The app comes up constantly in device listings without anyone explaining what it actually controls — and on the i ONE specifically, some of the features people expect aren’t there.
- Light intensity and behaviour
- Vibration alerts
- Device status and battery level
- Firmware updates and device registration
On the two-piece ILUMA i and i PRIME, the app lets you switch the Holder battery between Performance Mode and Eco Mode, trading consecutive uses for battery lifespan. The i ONE has no separate Holder battery to manage, so there’s nothing to switch — and nothing lost, since it already does 20 consecutive sessions.
There’s no app switch for FlexPuff on any model. It’s system-controlled and activates based on your usage pattern. If you’ve been looking for the setting, it doesn’t exist.
No. The device works fully without it — AutoStart, FlexPuff, and the full 20 sessions all function whether or not you ever install it. The app is for personalising alerts and keeping firmware current, not for unlocking anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the IQOS app to use the device?
No. AutoStart, FlexPuff, and the full 20 sessions all work without it. The app is for adjusting light and vibration settings, checking battery status, and keeping firmware current.
Can I switch battery modes in the app?
Not on this model. FlexBattery, which trades consecutive uses for Holder battery lifespan, applies to the two-piece ILUMA i and i PRIME devices. The i ONE has no separate Holder battery, and it already manages 20 consecutive sessions.
Is there an app setting to force FlexPuff on?
No, on any model. FlexPuff is system-controlled and activates based on your usage pattern.
Does Brown perform differently from the other colours?
No. All five ILUMA i ONE colourways are identical devices with the same battery, features, and specifications.
How many sticks per charge?
Up to 20 consecutive uses from a full charge, with no pause between sessions. Charging takes around 90 minutes over USB-C.
Which sticks does it take?
TEREA sticks only, from any origin. HEETS and other non-SMARTCORE sticks won’t activate it.
