Available for all IQOS ILUMA i PRIME devices, FlexPuff is an advanced feature of IQOS ILUMA i PRIME devices that enables a more flexible experience than before.
Depending on the way you puff, FlexPuff adapts to you and may provide 4 extra puffs (on top of 14 puffs). However, please note that FlexPuff activation and number of puffs depend on individual usage patterns. Therefore, the extra puffs might not apply to all adult consumers and/or experiences.
Note that if you use the Pause, FlexPuff will not work for this experience. You can also activate/deactivate this feature through IQOS app.
How it works:
Towards the end of the experience, your device will analyse if the stick is fully consumed or not. If the stick is not fully consumed, 4 extra puffs will be automatically added to your experience, and the Touch Screen will indicate it. Light ring will extend in counterclockwise direction to 9 o’clock position. Additional puffs nearly completed.
No action is required from you since the system analyses your experience automatically.
