Experience the perfect combination of real tobacco and revolutionary technology.
TEREA tobacco sticks were specially developed for IQOS ILUMA. This is why TEREA tobacco sticks cannot be used with previous IQOS heated tobacco devices (ORIGINALS or older), as this may cause damage to the device. HEETS tobacco sticks, in turn, are not suitable for IQOS ILUMA.
TEREA offers a range of rich tobacco experiences, pronounced aromas, and delicate and cooling taste sensations.
Because DELIA tobacco sticks feature a fully sealed tobacco part they are not compatible with IQOS 3 DUO or any earlier blade generation devices. Using a DELIA stick in a adevice with blade heating technology may damage the blade.
Technology – the world revolves around it. Over the years, it has radically changed our lives for the better. The way we work, the way we communicate, the way we travel. By combining science and technology is how we developed a better alternative to continued smoking. IQOS is changing for the better the way adult smokers, who would otherwise continue to smoke, can enjoy tobacco.
IQOS heats tobacco instead of burning it for a simple reason: the burning of tobacco emits high amounts of harmful chemicals like carbon monoxide.
IQOS ILUMA SMARTCORE INDUCTION™ technology and IQOS HeatControl™ technology prevent tobacco from burning, which means they significantly reduce the number and level of harmful chemicals emitted compared to cigarette smoke.

BONDS by IQOS: The BONDS by IQOS device uses the ROUNDHEAT TOBACCO SYSTEM™ , a blade-free heating technology that heats the tobacco externally without burning it. This system employs an external resistive heater made of flexible polyimide stainless-steel tracks wrapped around a stainless-steel tube. When the device is activated, the specially designed tobacco stick, known as BLENDS, is inserted into the heating chamber. The resistive heater heats the tobacco from the outside, ensuring even heating and reducing the risk of residue build-up. The heating chamber includes a temperature sensor, known as a resistance temperature detector (RTD), which continuously monitors the temperature to prevent overheating. The target heating temperature is set to an average of 250°C, ensuring that the tobacco is heated evenly and consistently.
Lil Solid EZ employs resistive heating with a stainless-steel pin. This method heats the tobacco from the inside, ensuring a consistent experience with each use. The device also features a new cleaning tool, the Lil Solid Cleaner Pro, which is sold separately and helps maintain the device's performance.
