How to operate: HEETS (Originals) and TEREA (ILUMA)

Basic setup — 3 steps

A

Charge the pocket charger

Before using it for the first time, connect via USB-C. Once fully charged, every indicator light stays solid.

B

Charge the holder

Slot the Holder into the Pocket Charger. The light pulses during charging and stays solid once it is ready.

C

Insert, heat & inhale

Put in a stick, hold the button until it buzzes, then await a steady light and draw gently.

Device comparison

IQOS Originals DUO

Uses HEETS sticks

Technology Blade / needle heating element inside holder Insertion Tobacco end down — push past the line to touch blade Cleaning Required — blade collects residue

IQOS ILUMA

Uses TEREA sticks

Technology SmartCore induction — heats via metal strip inside stick Insertion Filter end up — holder auto-detects and starts heating Cleaning Not needed — no blade, no residue

Tips & troubleshooting

How long a session lasts: Roughly 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever is reached first. The Holder buzzes briefly just before it finishes.

Taking out used HEETS: Slide the Holder cap up first, and only then ease the stick out. Doing this stops residue from clinging to the blade. (TEREA does not need this step.)

What the lights mean: The lights display remaining battery. A flashing red or yellow light signals either a fault (look for trapped tobacco) or that a charge is needed.

Stick compatibility — critical

TEREA sticks must never go into an IQOS Originals (blade) device, and HEETS must never go into an IQOS ILUMA (induction) device. Putting in the wrong stick can cause serious damage to the Holder.
