Understanding the Revolutionary Technology
How Does IQOS TEREA Work?
The TEREA for the IQOS ILUMA system is a game-changer. Unlike older IQOS devices with a heating blade, the IQOS ILUMA uses the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ to heat tobacco inside the TEREA IQOS sticks without a blade.
Each stick has a small metal heating element. When inserted, the device heats it via electromagnetic induction, giving a cleaner, consistent experience. The sticks are sealed, leaving no residue and making cleaning easy—a big plus for busy users in Dubai.
Here’s how to use it:
- Charge your IQOS ILUMA holder.
- Insert a TEREA stick; heating starts automatically.
- Wait for the vibration and steady light—it’s ready.
- Enjoy your session.
- When finished, a final vibration signals the end. Remove and dispose of the stick responsibly.
Many users love how IQOS TEREA works without a blade, offering a cleaner, simpler, and more convenient experience.

The Big Questions: IQOS TEREA vs. Cigarettes and HEETS
Let’s tackle some of the most common questions about switching to IQOS TEREA:
Is IQOS as harmful as cigarettes?
No. IQOS isn’t proven to be as harmful as cigarettes, but it still carries serious health risks with many of the same harmful chemicals and some that aren’t in traditional cigarettes.
Explanation:
This is an important point. While not completely risk-free, studies and public health authorities show that IQOS produces a tobacco vapor with significantly fewer harmful chemicals than cigarette smoke. The key difference is that IQOS doesn’t burn tobacco. Cigarettes burn tobacco at over 600°C, creating smoke with thousands of chemicals, many of which are harmful
IQOS, on the other hand, heats tobacco to around 350°C, producing an aerosol rather than smoke. While this aerosol isn’t completely harmless, it exposes users to fewer toxic substances. Of course, the healthiest choice is to quit tobacco and nicotine entirely.
Is one TEREA equal to one cigarette?
No, one TEREA stick is not the same as one cigarette, but for most users it lasts about the same time and gives a similar amount of nicotine.
Explanation:
Many ask, “Is 1 IQOS the same as a cigarette?” Each TEREA stick is designed to give a similar experience to a single cigarette, with around 14 puffs and a session lasting up to 6 minutes. How many sticks you use depends on your habits, but a fully charged IQOS ILUMA ONE device can deliver up to 20 uses, helping you manage consumption as you transition from cigarettes.
What Is the Difference Between HEETS and TEREA?
| Feature | HEETS | TEREA |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Technology | Heated by a blade inside older IQOS devices | Heated from inside by a metal element, no blade needed |
| Tobacco Structure | Tobacco plug warmed by the blade | Stick has a built-in heating element |
| Device Compatibility | Works with older IQOS blade devices | Works with IQOS ILUMA and other induction-heating devices |
This is a question many long-time IQOS users ask. The main difference lies in heating technology and stick design. HEETS are made for older IQOS devices with a heating blade that pierces the tobacco stick. TEREA sticks, on the other hand, are designed exclusively for the IQOS ILUMA series. They have a sealed design with an internal heating element, so no blade is needed.
Is IQOS TEREA Better Than HEETS?
Yes, IQOS TEREA is often seen as better than HEETS.
Explanation:
It uses bladeless induction heating, so you don’t need to clean the device and the taste stays the same each time. TEREA also gives a smoother draw, less smell, and a cleaner experience with its sealed design. HEETS use older blade-based devices that can get dirty and lose performance. Both still have nicotine and are not risk-free.
How Much Nicotine Is in a TEREA?
Terea contains approximately 0.5mg of nicotine per stick.
Explanation:
Nicotine content in a TEREA IQOS stick is an important consideration. Most TEREA sticks contain approximately 0.5 mg of nicotine per stick, though levels can vary slightly between flavors. This is similar to the nicotine found in many standard cigarettes, but the amount absorbed by the body may differ. Being aware of nicotine content helps you manage your usage responsibly, since nicotine is an addictive chemical.
Can TEREA be used twice?
No, TEREA sticks are for one-time use only.
Explanation:
Using a stick more than once will stop your IQOS ILUMA device from working. You can tell a TEREA stick has been used by checking for two marks on the stick itself.
Is IQOS ILUMA healthier than cigarettes?
No, IQOS ILUMA is not healthier than cigarettes.
Explanation:
It makes far fewer harmful chemicals because it heats tobacco instead of burning it. It’s not risk-free and still has nicotine and other chemicals, but switching completely from cigarettes to IQOS may lower your exposure to some harmful toxins.
Where can I buy IQOS TEREA in Dubai?
At authorized retailers and online shops like Terea Dubai across the UAE.
