Aside from never ever having to clean the stick chamber – the end of each tobacco stick is also sealed – the biggest bonus is that the level of vaporised tobacco ‘smoke’ remains consistent through every puff. When you pop in a TEREA stick, the induction process kicks in and, just like water that boils in an induction-ready pot, it heats the tobacco to 350˚C without creating any mess at all. ![]() That is no longer the case with the Iluma because each TEREA stick is fitted with Smartcore Induction in the form of a sliver of ferrous metal that runs the entire length – about 1cm – of the tobacco core. In short, HEETS products need regular cleaning and this has been the system’s biggest, albeit, surmountable issue. As good as the HEETS system is, the problem with it is that, after ‘smoking’ a few sticks a lot of oily tobacco residue ends up coating the blade, affecting the quality of subsequent puffs in the process. ![]() Where HEETS hardware products are equipped with a slim pointed silver blade that pierces and then heats up the tobacco to the magic 350˚C whereupon it starts to create a vapour-like ‘smoke’ – real cigarettes burn at around 800˚C – the new Iluma system uses electromagnetic induction, just like your best induction hob. These specially formulated mini Marlboro-like tobacco sticks are sold under the brand name TEREA and they work in a completely different way to the current range of HEETS, which you can still buy in almost every shop that sells tobacco and vapes. Like the existing IQOS 3 Duo and its stablemates, the Iluma uses proprietary tobacco sticks that resemble filtered cigarettes in all but length – they are just under two inches long.
