Difference between IQOS ILUMA & IQOS Duo Originals

IQOS ILUMA simplifies your experience, preserving the features you love whilst eliminating any unnecessary hassles. Based on customer input, IQOS has crafted the ILUMA device with an even more user-friendly design, making your enjoyment effortless.

You get:

  • 2 consecutive uses

  • A fast-charging Holder

  • Pocket chargers with 20 uses

  • Individual heating blades in each TEREA stick

  • Easy TEREA Stick insertion

No more worrying about:

  • No broken blades

  • No residue

  • No more cleaning

The most significant update involves the elimination of the heating blade within the Holder. Now, each fresh TEREA tobacco stick comes equipped with its own individual heating blade, whilst the tobacco is shielded by a protective front seal and heated internally by its dedicated blade. This translates to a hassle-free experience—no more cleaning the Holder's interior, no concerns about blade breakage during maintenance or stick insertion, and absolutely no residue to worry about.

It's incredibly straightforward—just insert your TEREA tobacco stick into your IQOS ILUMA or IQOS ILUMA ONE device, press to activate, and savour the experience. When you're done, dispose of the TEREA stick responsibly, and that's all there is to it - no maintenance necessary.

Can TEREA tobacco sticks be used with IQOS Duo devices?

No, TEREA tobacco sticks are fitted with their own heating blade and a protective cap on the front end, so you will not be able to insert them into an IQOS Duo Originals Holder.

Can HEETS tobacco sticks be used with the new IQOS ILUMA devices?

No, the new IQOS ILUMA devices contain no heating blade and will not be able to heat the HEETS tobacco sticks.
