Differences between IQOS Device Refills and E-Cigarettes

differences-between-iqos-device-refills-and-e-cigarettes

IQOS is a smoke-free device that can be refilled with TEREA™ tobacco sticks, unlike e-cigarette devices that use e-liquid for refills. IQOS produces no smoke as it is equipped with BLADELESS technology that produces no tobacco residue and delivers consistent flavor with each tobacco stick. So you don't need to clean the IQOS ILUMA device.

How to refill TEREA™ tobacco sticks in the IQOS ILUMA device:

  • Before first use, fully charge your device using the Power Adaptor and Charger Cable for approximately 135 minutes. Press the button to turn on your IQOS ILUMA Pocket Charger to check the battery level for 4 seconds. Then check the status lights on your IQOS ILUMA Holder to see how much usage you have.
    • Two lights on means the Holder is fully charged (ready for two uses).
    • One light on means you have one use left.
    • No lights on means the Holder needs to be charged by the Pocket Charger.
  • Insert the TEREA™ tobacco stick slowly. Autostart will activate once the TEREA™ tobacco stick is inserted. If Autostart is disabled, you can press the button on the Holder to start use. One vibration and a slow blinking light indicates the start of the heating process of the TEREA™ tobacco stick. Two vibrations and a fully lit lamp means the Holder is ready for use.
  • When you feel two more vibrations, your IQOS device time is almost up (30 seconds or 2 puffs left). Remove the TEREA™ tobacco stick and replace with a new tobacco stick for the next use. If one light is on, there is one more use left, so you will need to charge the Holder in the Pocket Charger after the next use.
  • When the Holder is in the Pocket Charger, there are two round lights that indicate the status of the Holder. If the round lights are blinking white, the Holder is charging. One or two fully lit round lights on the Pocket Charger indicate how many uses are available.

E-Cigarettes and E-Liquid

E-cigarettes use a variety of nicotine  liquid flavors that can be refilled after the e-liquid inside runs out. The working principle of e-cigarettes is the same as vape, which is by heating the e-liquid to produce vapor.

Switching to IQOS Smoke-Free Devices

IQOS ILUMA's new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology does not use a heating blade, making it easier to install tobacco sticks. The metal component heats the tobacco from inside the TEREA™ tobacco stick through induction, heating the tobacco instead of burning it.
