How do I tell the difference between used and unused TEREA sticks? 

Used tobacco sticks have two indicators that tell you if they’ve been used. The paper around the filter is slightly creased, and there will be a slight tobacco vapor stain on the paper. We recommend you dispose of the stick immediately after use to avoid any confusion. Another way to avoid reusing a TEREA stick is by placing it back in the pack upside-down. When you select your TEREA stick, check that the wavy line is visible.

What happens if I try to insert a TEREA stick into an IQOS 3 DUO or another device with a blade?

How do TEREA and HEETS compare? 

 

Both TEREA with IQOS ILUMA and HEETS with previous IQOS blade devices heat the tobacco from inside, instead of burning it, without any smoke or ash and less smell than cigarettes. On top of this, they emit, on average, 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes*.




Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS ILUMA is not risk-free.  


* ”95% less” represents the average reduction in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette.  See Important Information on IQOS.com

What is the metal inside TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS? Should I be concerned?

 

TEREA tobacco sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA devices that have SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM, which uses a metal heating element coated with stainless steel and placed inside a TEREA tobacco stick for heating of tobacco.

TEREA tobacco sticks should be kept out of reach of children and pets at all times and should not be taken apart, as the metal heating element has sharp edges. Swallowed TEREA tobacco sticks can cause serious injury to internal organs due to the presence of this metal heating element. If TEREA tobacco sticks are swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Always dispose of TEREA tobacco sticks immediately after use according to local waste disposal regulations.

 

What do I do if the TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS breaks inside the IQOS ILUMA Holder?

 

Do not remove TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS while in use. Before extracting the TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS, please ensure your Holder is switched off. 

To switch off your Holder, place it in the Pocket Charger and press the Pocket Charger button for 4 seconds until all Pocket Charger lights turn off. 

To confirm that it is off, remove the Holder from the Pocket Charger and quickly press the Holder button. If no lights appear, the Holder is off, and it is safe to proceed with the extraction. If lights appear, repeat the previous step to turn off the Holder. 

Once the Holder is off, allow the stick to cool down before removing it. 

With caution, use your two fingers to remove the TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS. 

If this does not work, with caution, try using a toothpick to remove the part of the stick that remains in the device.  

It is important that extreme caution is used when inserting any object into the heating chamber, as excessive force may damage the internal surfaces within. 

Once the remaining part of the TEREA SMARTCORE STICK is removed, please look inside the Holder to make sure that there is no debris left at the bottom of the heating chamber. 

To turn the Holder back on, place it in the Pocket Charger and press the Pocket Charger button for 4s until all the lights turn on and the charge level is displayed.
