What are the benefits of TEREA tobacco sticks?

Consistent tobacco experience: Thanks to the innovative induction technology, you can expect a consistent taste experience of real tobacco, with an even draw and rich tobacco vapor.

No more cleaning: Because the tobacco is gently heated inside the IQOS ILUMA using induction technology, TEREA tobacco sticks are sealed on both ends. This means that no tobacco residue remains in the device and your IQOS ILUMA Holder stays clean. For you, this means: No more cleaning.

Easy to operate: The innovative auto start/stop function on IQOS ILUMA PRIME and IQOS ILUMA, makes handling even easier. By inserting the TEREA tobacco stick, the heated tobacco device automatically starts heating. When the stick is removed, the device switches off again automatically.

What is the difference between TEREA tobacco sticks and HEETS tobacco sticks?

With both HEETS and TEREA, real tobacco is heated instead of burned. Their difference lies in the technology: While HEETS tobacco sticks are heated with HEATCONTROL TECHNOLOGY^TM and a heating blade in the IQOS ORIGINALS devices (or older IQOS generations), TEREA tobacco sticks are heated through the revolutionary SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM^TM of IQOS ILUMA which activates the innovative steel-coated metal heating element inside the tobacco sticks.

That is why the two tobacco sticks differ in construction, which is also visible from the outside. TEREA tobacco sticks are sealed on both ends so that no tobacco residue remains in the Holder.

The benefit: a consistent tobacco experience with no cleaning required.

Can TEREA tobacco sticks be used with older IQOS heated tobacco devices?

No, that's not possible. An IQOS device must have the pioneering bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM^TM to be able to use TEREA tobacco sticks. This is only the case with the new IQOS ILUMA heated tobacco devices.

TEREA tobacco sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA. Do not use IQOS ILUMA and TEREA tobacco sticks with previous IQOS generations (IQOS ORIGINALS or older), as this may cause damage to your device. IQOS ILUMA cannot be used with HEETS tobacco sticks. TEREA tobacco sticks contain sharp metal parts which can cause serious injury if swallowed. Do not disassemble TEREA tobacco sticks, never swallow them and always keep them out of the reach of children. Do not insert the IQOS ILUMA holder into chargers of previous IQOS tobacco heaters and vice versa. You can find more information here.
