IQOS

An IQOS Starter Kit, such as the Iluma IQOS, is sometimes referred to as an IQOS vape or IQOS pen, and is a device that heats tobacco rather than igniting it, in order to produce a vapour that contains nicotine without producing smoke, ash or tar like regular cigarettes. As IQOS devices like the IQOS Iluma One do not produce smoke and are heated instead of burned they do not produce the same levels of harmful chemicals as other tobacco products. 

Most noticeable, although many may call using an IQOS smoking, the IQOS tobacco sticks release significantly less carbon monoxide than cigarettes, with reports stating that they produce as much as 95% less carbon monoxide per tobacco stick.

How Does IQOS Work?

IQOS Kits use specially blended tobacco sticks, such as Heets and Terea. Heets are used with the previous versions of IQOS such as the IQOS 3 Multi, which came with an IQOS Charger and an IQOS Holder. The IQOS Holder contained a heating blade that was designed for use alongside Heets, whilst the IQOS new deviceht, the Iluma IQOS, has been designed specifically for use with the IQOS Terea sticks which themselves feature a heating blade.

To use IQOS you have to insert the tobacco stick either directly into the IQOS device or into the IQOS holder; this is where the IQOS tobacco stick will be heated to produce the vapour that you inhale. When the tobacco stick has been heated and is ready for use the LED light on your IQOS kit or holder will become solid rather than blinking - some of the IQOS new heated tobacco devices include haptic feedback where the device will also vibrate to let you know that it’s ready to go.

To use the IQOS once the tobacco stick is heated, inhale on the filter as you would if you were smoking a cigarette. The final step, once your Heet stick or Terea stick is finished, carefully remove it from the device and dispose of it safely.  

IQOS Flavours

There are a variety of different tobacco blends available in the Heets and Terea sticks, ranging from cool menthol tobacco flavours to rich, roasted tobacco blends. Below is a complete list of the flavours available in each of the tobacco stick ranges.
