Slide a TEREA stick into the holder as far as it goes, do not twist it, then press the button and wait for the vibration that signals it is ready. Puff as you would a cigarette for about six minutes or fourteen puffs; the device vibrates again near the end of the session. Pull the used stick out and bin it responsibly. There is nothing to clean afterwards.
No. HEETS were made for the older blade-heated IQOS models and do not contain the metal element that ILUMA induction heating relies on. ILUMA devices only work with TEREA sticks, and TEREA sticks will not work in older IQOS devices.
Switching completely from cigarettes to IQOS removes combustion, and it is burning tobacco that produces most of the harmful chemicals in smoke. Heated tobacco is not risk-free and still delivers nicotine, which is addictive, but for adult smokers who will not quit nicotine entirely it is a meaningfully less harmful way to use tobacco.
They solve different problems. IQOS gives you real tobacco taste and a fixed cigarette-like session, which many long-term smokers prefer. Vaping offers far more flavour variety, lower running costs and, according to current UK guidance, sits lower on the risk scale because it contains no tobacco. If flavour range appeals, compare our vape kits before deciding.
Each TEREA stick delivers around fourteen puffs over a six-minute session, after which the device ends the session automatically. A pack contains 20 sticks, the same count as a pack of cigarettes, at £6.95 from us.
The indoor smoking ban applies to lit tobacco, and IQOS does not burn, so it is not automatically covered. Individual venues make their own rules and most treat it like vaping, so check before using it in pubs, restaurants or workplaces. The light, fast-fading scent means it rarely bothers anyone at home.
Right here. We keep the ILUMA ONE kit and the full TEREA flavour range in stock at our UK warehouse and despatch quickly on tracked services. Buying device and sticks together saves a separate trip, and our team can help you pick a starting flavour.
