The heated tobacco market and devices keep on evolving and coming up with innovations. Right now, the most talked-about feature is FlexPuff. Users in the UAE are asking, "What is a FlexPuff?" "How does it work?" and more.
FlexPuff is basically a feature made to make vaping sessions a little longer and more enjoyable for users. This detailed guide will break down what FlexPuff is, how to activate it, and FlexPuff features.
What is a FlexPuff? How Does it Work?
A TEREA stick is expected to give you around 14 puffs or 6 minutes of vaping sessions, whichever comes first. But FlexPuff is like an additional gift to IQOS ILUMA i, as it unlocks up to 4 more puffs with an intelligent boost.
The FlexPuff feature measures your puff duration, frequency, and overall energy consumption. If it calculates under-utilisation based on your pace, it reallocates the heating power, leading to around four extra draws.
Here's how the FlexPuff feature works and helps you make the most of your IQOS ILUMA i device:
- The behaviour tracking begins automatically to analyse your draw pattern.
- In case of short puffs or remaining tobacco, the device identifies it as "unused heating time".
- Instead of cutting the session, the device allows up to four more puffs without any effort from the user.
As a result, users get more draws from a single TEREA stick without any wastage.
Which Models Have FlexPuff?
The FlexPuff feature is present in the latest generation devices mentioned below:
- IQOS ILUMA i Prime: The premium model with Touch Screen feature.
- IQOS ILUMA i Standard: Two-piece design with a Touch Screen.
- IQOS ILUMA i One: The complete portable unit.

How to Use FlexPuff on Your Device?
FlexPuff is easy to use because of its automatic feature; just use the device the way you normally would. But the model you have changes the way you see the feature activated.
On the IQOS ILUMA i Prime and Standard Device
- Activation: Plug your TEREA stick in and start your session as usual. FlexPuff is automatic and doesn't need any setup.
- Monitoring: The new touchscreen on these models clearly displays your session status. Check for the visual cue, the long ring of light, to confirm the bonus puffs are activated.
- Vibration: The IQOS ILUMA i Prime and Standard give subtle vibrations to indicate the beginning and end of a session, so you can tell the timing without having to glance at the screen.
On the IQOS ILUMA i ONE Device
- Activation: The IQOS ILUMA i ONE all-in-one device internally monitors your usage pattern and activates FlexPuff automatically.
- Alerts: The stick is done when the usual indicator lights and final vibrations tell you so. If your pattern of drawing calls for more puffs, the system will automatically provide them.
How to Avail More Puffs in Each Session?
Despite the FlexPuff feature, users' technique and vaping habits directly affect the number of puffs in each session. Here's how you can optimise the overall experience.
- Use New TEREA Sticks: Use only fresh, sealed TEREA sticks. Old or improperly stored sticks (e.g., in a hot car) can dry out, decreasing the amount of vapor and influencing the overall FlexPuff potential.
- Take it Slow: The device is designed for slow and steady draws. It's better to avoid hard and rushed puffs. FlexPuff gets more effective with slow draws, as it helps to evenly heat the tobacco.
- Pause Between Pulls: Allow 2–3 seconds between puffs. This break gives the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM the opportunity to reheat the tobacco properly, helping to maintain flavor consistency and giving the system the alert that the stick is not fully smoked.
- Charge Battery Regularly: Make sure your IQOS ILUMA Kit is adequately charged. While FlexPuff is optimized for energy, devices with low battery levels may prioritize core heating, which may slightly impact the performance of smart features.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Users might be limiting the device's ability to give the most puffs without even realizing it. Avoid these things:
- If you activate Pause Mode (available on Prime and Standard) during a session, FlexPuff will not work for that experience. They are not mutually exclusive.
- Another very common habit is to take puffs in a row without the device resting, called chain puffing. This fools the stick into thinking the stick is over.
- Using fake or unauthentic sticks lacks the necessary magnetic induction element and proper tobacco density. They will not turn on or function properly for FlexPuff.
Conclusion
The small yet efficient feature of FlexPuff is a unique way to enjoy up to four additional puffs during a vaping session, and most importantly, it protects the product from getting wasted.
Whether it is a handy ILUMA i Standard FlexPuff or a high-end ILUMA i Prime extra puffs, this feature promises longer, smoother, and more satisfying sessions. You can buy our complete range of IQOS ILUMA devices from Matsu.
These devices come with sleek and intelligent packaging, providing control, value, and enjoyment with up to four additional puffs per TEREA stick with FlexPuff. The feature offers UAE users more enjoyment from each stick, a more intelligent way of consuming heatsticks, and better value for money.
FAQs
1. Is there always four FlexPuff puffs?
No. More puffs are added only if there is unused tobacco capacity detected. If you take long, deep puffs, the stick may finish in the usual 14 puffs.
2. Does using FlexPuff change flavour or nicotine strength?
No. Extra puffs with FlexPuff are due to unused tobacco capacity. Therefore, the additional puffs may feel slightly milder, while still providing a smooth and satisfying experience.
3. Does the session last more than 6 minutes?
No. The maximum session time remains 6 minutes. FlexPuff simply provides more puffs if unused tobacco capacity is detected.
