Item description
If you choose to go with an IQOS device, particularly the Iluma range, it's important to ensure you pair it with the right tobacco sticks. IQOS has two types of tobacco sticks: the HEETS and the TEREA sticks. The latter works with the Iluma range, while the HEETS range can work with the other IQOS devices.
Understanding TEREA sticks and their purpose is just as important as understanding the different devices used with heated tobacco.
What are IQOS TEREA Tobacco Sticks?
IQOS TEREA tobacco sticks are heated tobacco sticks designed specifically for the IQOS Aluma series, the latest series of kits from the IQOS brand. The sticks provide the real tobacco experience without the typical combustion that is common with cigarettes. This makes heated tobacco kits like the Iluma a great option for anyone looking to quit cigarettes.
Key Features of IQOS TEREA Tobacco Sticks
TEREA sticks are a more advanced alternative to the famous HEETS sticks that have been around for some time and still work with various IQOS devices. This new addition to the brand offers various unique benefits, such as the following:
Cleanliness
One of the standout features of the IQOS TEREA sticks is their cleanliness. The tobacco sticks are sealed on both ends, eliminating the chances of any residue or loose tobacco. This also means that the Iluma doesn't need to be cleaned, saving you time and ensuring you spend more time enjoying your tobacco.
Consistent Flavour
TEREA sticks have a unique design that delivers more consistent flavour when heated for an even better experience. The sticks deliver better taste and satisfaction.
Ease of Use
IQOS TEREA sticks are easier to use, particularly with the IQOS Iluma device. They simply slide into the device. Even better, the Iluma has an auto-start feature that automatically activates the device once the TEREA stick has been inserted. You also get haptic feedback from the device, informing you when it is ready to start using and how long your TEREA stick has left.
What is the Difference Between TEREA Sticks and HEETS Sticks?
TEREA and HEETS sticks serve the same function, but they do it differently due to the difference in the heating technology used.
HEETS sticks are heated using IQOS' patented Heat Control technology. This technology is found in older IQOS devices, and it uses a ceramic sensor blade to heat the tobacco.
TEREA sticks are heated using the newer Smartcore Induction System found in Iluma devices. This means instead of using a bland to heat the stick. The device has a metal element located inside that heats the tobacco from within.
Both types of sticks are pretty effective in delivering tobacco and nicotine. Still, TEREA has apparent advantages, such as better flavour delivery and when using the TEREA sticks, you don't need to worry about cleaning your device.
Do TEREA Sticks Work the Same Way as E-cigarettes?
Both are alternatives to smoking and are methods commonly used by smokers looking to quit cigarettes. But, there is a distinct difference in how they operate and what they have to offer, which is crucial.
IQOS TEREA sticks are heated tobacco products. They still use tobacco and nicotine as their main ingredients. The sticks are heated up instead of being burned and deliver an experience that is akin to smoking tobacco.
E-cigarettes may also contain tobacco. But they heat what is called an e-liquid that produces the vapour that is inhaled. Usually, some e-liquids may contain nicotine, allowing such an option to deliver an experience that is similar to cigarettes for smokers looking to quit.
One similarity between the two methods is that they both contain nicotine, but the sensation for each is distinct. If you're looking for a genuine smoking alternative that doesn't contain nicotine, e-cigarettes have plenty of options you can consider.
Common TEREA Sticks Flavours
Like HEETS sticks, TEREA sticks also come in various flavours. In fact, most of the flavours you can find in TEREA sticks are also available in HEETS sticks.
The purpose of maintaining similar flavours across the board is to allow for an easy transition for people who want to use the IQOS Iluma series and already have a HEETS flavour they like. By maintaining the flavours, you can find TEREA sticks with the same flavour.
Some of the common TEREA flavours include the following:
- Blue: This is a flavour best known for its strong menthol flavour with a hint of spearmint. It has a cooling sensation that has a refreshing aftertaste. It is an excellent flavour if you want something with a kick and clears your throat. The flavour is designed to taste like mint chewing gum. It is very smooth and satisfying.
- Amber: If the menthol flavour is too overwhelming, you can consider the amber flavour. It is a medium-strength flavour with a smooth and balanced taste. It has notes of toasted tobacco, black tea leaves, and woody aromas. It has a pleasant tobacco taste, and it is not too strong. It hits just right with a smooth and rich taste that you will enjoy.
- Muave Wave: This is another light-flavoured option. It has a fruity flavour with a touch of menthol to give it a minty and chilled kick. It has notes of blueberries, mixed berries, and forest mint. It is an amazing sweet flavour with a berry hint that is both delicious and refreshing.
- Siena: Siena is a premium, full-bodied flavour that is complex and refined. It is perfect for people who appreciate the finer things in life and pick up on the slightest notes. It has notes of roasted tobacco, malt, smoked oak, and nuts. It is satisfying and authentic, much like enjoying a fine cigar, but with more taste.
- Russet: This is another bold and robust flavour with a distinctive and intense taste. It has notes of toasted tobacco, malt, and smoked oak. Its consistent tobacco taste is powerful and satisfying. This intense flavour is best left to experienced heated tobacco lovers.
- Turquoise: This is a mild and smooth flavour that is subtle and delicate. It has notes of Toasted tobacco, cool menthol, and peppermint. The turquoise flavour is good and has a mild and smooth taste that is soothing and gentle.
- Teak: This is a medium-intensity flavour with a unique and exotic taste. It has notes of toasted tobacco, mixed nuts and coconut. It has oaky aromas and is an excellent option for anyone looking for an exotic and nutty flavour.
- Green: This is a cool and balanced flavour. It’s an ideal option for anyone looking for balance and wants to avoid anything overwhelming. It has notes of toasted tobacco, peppermint and green fruits. It is cool and balanced and very refreshing and satisfying.
- Yellow: The yellow flavour has a light and fresh taste with notes of citrus, pear, and apple. It is low-intensity, which makes it ideal for new consumers and has a light and fresh appeal.
TEREA sticks are definitely a game changer for heated tobacco lovers. They are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to save time and avoid the cleaning bit on their heating devices. However, these can only be used with the IQOS Iluma series of devices.
