TEREA Tobacco sticks
Let’s get to know the innovative TEREA stick design and find out what makes it perform so well: The heating element: An innovative metal heating element, coated with stainless steel and placed inside the tobacco part of the stick for seamless heating of tobacco. The tobacco part: A carefully selected, finely ground and specially prepared tobacco blend. The front seal: Keeps your IQOS ILUMA holder clean after use with no tobacco residue left and ensures easy insertion and extraction of the tobacco stick. The air-flow chamber: Ensures that just the right amount of aerosol passes throughout the stick for a consistent and improved draw. The cooling plug: Cools down the aerosol temperature. It’s made of cellulose acetate, which delivers the best cooling efficiency yet. The protective wrap: Our new protective paper wrap contributes to a cleaner experience after use. The filter: This part of the TEREA tobacco stick is your mouthpiece.
To deliver a cleaner experience. The filter tips at both ends of TEREA sticks eliminate any residual tobacco falling out and circulating in your IQOS ILUMA. So you don’t have to clean your device every time you use it.
TEREA tobacco sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA devices that have SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™, which uses a metal heating element coated with stainless steel and placed inside a TEREA tobacco stick for heating of the tobacco. TEREA tobacco sticks should be kept out of reach of children and pets at all times and should not be taken apart, as the metal heating element has sharp edges. Swallowed TEREA tobacco sticks can cause serious injury to internal organs due to the presence of this metal heating element. If TEREA tobacco sticks are swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Always dispose of TEREA tobacco sticks immediately after use in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Both TEREA with IQOS ILUMA and HEETS with previous IQOS blade devices heat the tobacco from inside, instead of burning it, without any smoke or ash and less smell than cigarettes.
Compared to HEETS sticks, TEREA sticks are sealed. So, when TEREA sticks are used with IQOS ILUMA there is no tobacco residue and no need to clean the device after use. Thanks to the all-new IQOS ILUMA and TEREA tobacco sticks, you may have a better tobacco experience in a clean and effortless way. TEREA sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA, but don’t worry, you can find HEETS flavors in the range of TEREA flavors. Do not ingest or disassemble TEREA™ sticks. This product contains a sharp metal part which can cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children. Find more information on www.iqos.com
Yes, you can. TEREA sticks are compatible with any type of IQOS ILUMA. But are not compatible with previous IQOS generations, because you may damage your device.
When you’ve finished your tobacco experience, dispose of the sticks immediately according in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
It won’t start because the IQOS ILUMA is designed to be used only with the brand new, fully sealed TEREA tobacco sticks. Its innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the TEREA stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better, cleaner experience. And do remember that TEREA tobacco sticks won't work with previous IQOS generations and may cause damage to your device.
Used tobacco sticks have two indicators that tell you if they’ve been used. The paper around the filter is slightly creased, and there will be a slight tobacco vapor stain on the paper. We recommend you dispose of the stick immediately after use to avoid any confusion. Another way to avoid reusing a TEREA stick is by placing it back in the pack upside-down. When you select your TEREA stick check that the wavy line is visible.
It’s simple and easy. Insert your TEREA stick into the IQOS ILUMA holder, making sure the TEREA logo is face up. If correctly inserted, the logo will remain visible when you push down gently. And you’re ready to begin your experience.
Actually, nothing. The device simply won’t start. It’s designed to start only when it detects that a TEREA stick has been inserted into it.
TEREA sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA, so don’t try and use TEREA sticks with blade IQOS devices because it might get damaged. That’s because the new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ has no blade in the holder. Instead, a metal heating element sits inside the TEREA stick. TEREA is not compatibile with IQOS 3 DUO blade technology.
IQOS Friends
It is a program where adult users of IQOS can offer and get rewards by referring their adult friends who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products, to IQOS.
When you refer an adult friend (18+) who is a current smoker or user of other nicotine products, your friend will receive a 30 voucher applicable to the first purchase of an IQOS device and you will receive a 30 voucher reward on your registered email (or by going to your account on iqos.com) that you can use on your future orders applicable on IQOS Devices and/or accessories only.
The IQOS Friends Program is open to all adult smokers and users of other nicotine products residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, if they have never redeemed a referral code before and do not already have an IQOS device linked to their profile.
To refer an adult friend who smokes or uses other nicotine products, you can simply login to your account on iqos.com (or register your device if you haven't done so already) and send your adult friend who smokes or uses other nicotine products the referral code from your iqos.com account via the Whatsapp or SMS link. They can use that code to avail their 30 voucher on their first purchase of an IQOS device.
Your adult friend’s 30 voucher is redeemable online on iqos.com or at one of our selected authorized locations.
If your adult friend, who smokes or uses other nicotine products, decides to buy, you will also receive a 30 reward voucher that you can use in your future orders on iqos.com. Remember, multiple discount voucher codes can be used against a single order (on IQOS devices and/or accessories only), unless the other promotion has terms and conditions that state otherwise.
You can refer up to 10 adult friends (18+) who are smokers or users of other nicotine products in the IQOS Friends Program..
You can only redeem one referral code. This referral code offers you a 30 voucher on your first IQOS device purchase.
Referral vouchers are not redeemable on TEREA.
You should see the referral code in the Whatsapp / SMS message you received from your adult friend using IQOS, or your adult friend using IQOS may share it with you in person.
You can invite your friends1 after registering your device. The first 10 friends1 who purchase an IQOS device are eligible for a 30 voucher on this purchase. Once 10 of your friends1 use your referral code and benefit from the vouchers, your code will become inactive. Please check the terms and conditions to learn more or contact the IQOS Team if you need further help.
Your voucher is valid for a period of 60 days from the day you receive it.
