Do You Know the Difference Between Tobacco Heating Devices, Disposable Vapes, and Rechargeable Vapes?
For adult smokers who still want to continue enjoying tobacco products or use other nicotine products and want to switch to smoke-free alternative products, you now have a variety of choices such as the IQOS ILUMA™ tobacco heating device, disposable vape, and rechargeable vape. These three smoke-free alternative products do not go through a combustion process so they do not produce smoke, but vapor (aerosol).
The IQOS ILUMA™ tobacco heating device uses TEREA™ tobacco sticks, while the vape device uses e-liquid. See this link to learn about the differences between TEREA™ tobacco sticks and vape e-liquids.
What Is IQOS ILUMA™ Tobacco Heating Device?
IQOS ILUMA™ is a tobacco heating device with SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology which heats TEREA™ tobacco sticks, not burning them so that they do not produce smoke, but vapor (aerosol). By eliminating the combustion process, IQOS ILUMA™ emits 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes*and produces no ash and less odor.
Important information: This does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS ILUMA is not risk-free.
*“95% less” represents the average reduction in levels of the 9 chemicals recommended for reduction in cigarette smoke by the World Health Organization, which do not include nicotine. See Important Information on IQOS.com.
TEREA™ tobacco sticks used with IQOS ILUMA™ device provide the original taste of tobacco with various of choices. Equipped with BLADELESS technology which does not produce tobacco residue, IQOS ILUMA™ provides a consistent taste with every puff of TEREA™ tobacco sticks.
How to Use the IQOS Tobacco Heating Device and TEREA™ Tobacco Sticks?
Before first use, you need to fully charge the IQOS ILUMA™ device for approximately 135 minutes. If the battery is full, you can insert the TEREA™ tobacco stick into the Holder of your IQOS device and the Autostart feature will turn on automatically.
One vibration and a slow flashing light indicates the start of the TEREA™ tobacco stick heating process. Two vibrations and the light fully lit means the Holder is ready to use. TEREA™ tobacco sticks can be used for 6 minutes or 14 puffs, depending on use.

What Is a Disposable Vape?
Disposable vape is a one time used vape device which means it can’t be recharged and refilled with e-liquid. The batteries and e-liquid in disposable vapes are generally fully charged in the packaging. When the battery and e-liquid run out, the vape device must be thrown away because it cannot be recharged.
What is a Rechargeable Vape?
In contrast to disposable vapes which are single use, you can use rechargeable vape devices repeatedly by refilling the battery and e-liquid, as well as maintaining the vape device to keep it optimal.
The way disposable vapes and rechargeable vapes work is no different from e-cigarettes in general. This device heats e-liquid to produce vapor (aerosol), not smoke from combustion.
