TEREA and HEETS are heated tobacco sticks for IQOS devices, but compatibility, technology, and flavors set them apart significantly. This guide compares them head-to-head to help you pick the best for your device and tastes in Tando Adam or wider Sindh markets.
​

Device Compatibility
TEREA sticks work exclusively with IQOS ILUMA series devices like ILUMA Prime, ILUMA One, and ILUMA i, using bladeless Smartcore Induction Technology for even heating without piercing. HEETS fit older models such as IQOS 3 DUO, IQOS 3 Multi, and IQOS 2.4 Plus, which rely on a ceramic blade that inserts into the stick. Mixing them risks device damage and voids warranties—ILUMA owners must use TEREA, while IQOS 3 users stick to HEETS.

Technology Differences
TEREA's built-in metal core enables induction heating, eliminating cleaning cycles and residue buildup for up to 20 consecutive uses per charge. HEETS require manual blade cleaning after 20 sticks, as the piercing method leaves tobacco residue. This makes TEREA more convenient and hygienic, with consistent heat distribution that reduces hotspots compared to HEETS' blade-based system.
