How are TEREA tobacco sticks different from e-cigarette liquids?

One of the main differences between IQOS ILUMA and electronic cigarettes or vapes is that IQOS ILUMA uses special TEREA sticks, while vapes and electronic cigarettes use liquids. Electronic cigarettes and tobacco heating systems have an important similarity: both devices are an alternative for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine-containing products. IQOS devices do not emit smoke, as they heat tobacco instead of burning it.

However, the operating processes of electronic cigarettes and tobacco heating devices are significantly different. Electronic cigarettes use liquids, while tobacco heating systems use heated tobacco sticks.

What are e-liquids?

E-cigarettes do not use tobacco. They use special liquids that contain various flavor additives, and, in some cases, nicotine.

What are tobacco sticks?

IQOS ILUMA uses processed and pressed natural tobacco. TEREA sticks are designed for use with IQOS ILUMA tobacco heating devices.

TEREA sticks are made from processed tobacco leaves and provide the taste of real tobacco. They are designed for about 14 puffs, which is almost equivalent to a cigarette. TEREA tobacco sticks are not risk-free and are addictive; they contain nicotine, which is a component of natural tobacco.

What is the difference between sticks and vaping liquids?

The main difference between TEREA sticks and liquids is the sensation of use. In vapes, liquid comes from the tank of the e-cigarette and comes into contact with a heating element powered by a battery. Heating the liquid causes it to evaporate and form a vapor that can be inhaled through the mouthpiece. Smoke and ash are not formed - only vapor. An adult user of the device feels the taste of the evaporated liquid.

TEREA tobacco sticks are inserted into the tobacco heating device and heated to a certain temperature. The stick is heated from the inside using the new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ induction technology. The heating temperature does not rise above 350 degrees Celsius, which provides the taste of tobacco without burning, smoke and ash. In this case, only steam is released.

The main similarity between TEREA sticks and vaping liquids is that they are alternatives to cigarette smoking for adult smokers. If you are an adult smoker who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine-containing products, but are considering smokeless alternatives without tobacco, you may be interested in e-cigarettes and liquids for them. If you are interested in smokeless devices that provide a taste and sensation close to smoking, then IQOS ILUMA is a better choice than continuing to smoke.
