Smokers in the UAE now enjoy vaping uniquely, thanks to the IQOS ILUMA i. With its clever technology, hassle-free cleaning, and cutting-edge features like Pause Mode, ILUMA i provides flexibility and control that previous IQOS models were unable to.
Pause Mode guarantees that you never have to throw away a partially used TEREA stick, whether you’re a busy professional traveling through Dubai, a shopper in Abu Dhabi, or a local taking a coffee break in Sharjah.
In this IQOS ILUMA i Pause Mode guide, we’ll explain what Pause Mode is, how it works, the optimum times to use it, typical mistakes, and recommendations for UAE users so you can get the most out of your ILUMA i experience.
What is Pause Mode?
IQOS ILUMA i Pause Mode is a feature that allows you to pause the vaping session and return to it later. This means you are not throwing away your partially used stick and can enjoy it in smaller portions if you need to. Pause Mode means taking a break from your session anytime you need. You can take a call, answer a visitor, or do a quick task without worrying about wasting your tobacco stick.
- You can pause a session for a maximum of eight minutes.
- When the device is paused and ready to go, LED lights and vibrations will let you know.
- Pick up your session without loss of taste or puffs.
Pause Mode is only available on the ILUMA i line-up, including:
- IQOS ILUMA and Prime
- IQOS ILUMA i Standard
- IQOS ILUMA i One
How to Use Pause Mode?
First things first, check that your IQOS ILUMA i is in performance mode. Pause mode does not work in eco mode.
- Activate Pause Mode: Slide down from the top of the touchscreen. You will then feel a vibration to confirm that Pause Mode is in effect. The four LED lights will flash before fading away one by one during the eight-minute countdown.
- Resume Your Session: Swipe up on the touchscreen to continue your session. The device heats up for about twenty seconds, and you’re off. The lights go around in circles, and a vibration tells you that you can continue vaping.
- Puff Limits: In Pause Mode, the total number of puffs for the session before and after the pause is limited to fourteen.
Benefits of Using Pause Mode
Pause Mode is particularly useful in the busy urban environment of the UAE. Here are some practical situations where it is of use:
- Receiving Calls: Imagine you’re taking a quick break from your office in Dubai and your phone rings. Don’t rush; just take a pause, attend the call, and carry on later.
- Getting into a Building: In Abu Dhabi’s office towers, security checks often mean a quick pause. Respect the rule, and the Pause Mode stops unnecessary waste.
- Small Conversations: Short chats happen unexpectedly, be it a colleague or a friend in a café in the UAE. Take a quick social break without worrying about wasting your product.
Like this, there are many instances in day-to-day life that make Pause Mode a very useful feature. Remember, the feature is made for breaks that are for minutes, and not for extended breaks.
Common Issues in Pause Mode & Quick Fixes
Below are some common Pause Mode issues and their solutions.
Issue 1: Pause Mode Not Working
The most common reasons can be that the session is inactive, it was too early or too late, or the battery is extremely low.

Issue 2: Session Ends After Pause
Probably the maximum pause time was reached. To maintain the quality of performance, the device automatically ends the session.
