IQOS Devices

IQOS devices span several generations, and the differences go beyond size, color or design. The most important distinction is the heating system and the type of tobacco stick each device is designed to use. The newer IQOS ILUMA family uses blade-free SMARTCORE induction technology and is designed for TEREA sticks. Earlier models including IQOS 3 DUO, IQOS 3 Multi and IQOS 2.4 Plus use an internal heating blade and are compatible with HEETS. Understanding this difference is the best place to start when comparing the IQOS devices available on this page.

IQOS ILUMA – The Newer Blade-Free Generation

IQOS ILUMA introduced a fundamentally different heating system. Instead of placing a heating blade inside the tobacco stick, the device uses induction technology with the heating element contained within the compatible TEREA stick.

Three main formats are available in the ILUMA family:

IQOS ILUMA

The standard IQOS ILUMA uses a separate Holder and Pocket Charger. It keeps the familiar two-piece IQOS format while moving to the newer blade-free system.

Explore models such as IQOS ILUMA Azure Blue⁠ and IQOS ILUMA Moss Green⁠.

IQOS ILUMA ONE

ILUMA ONE combines the system into a single all-in-one device instead of using a separate Holder and Pocket Charger.

See IQOS ILUMA ONE Azure Blue⁠ or compare the formats in our IQOS ILUMA ONE vs IQOS ILUMA⁠ guide.

IQOS ILUMA PRIME

ILUMA PRIME uses the same TEREA-based generation but presents it in a more design-focused Holder-and-Pocket-Charger format.

Examples include IQOS ILUMA PRIME Obsidian Black⁠ and ILUMA PRIME Bronze Taupe⁠.

For all three models together, see IQOS ILUMA vs ILUMA ONE vs ILUMA PRIME⁠.

Which IQOS Devices Use TEREA?

TEREA sticks are designed specifically for the IQOS ILUMA generation.

That means IQOS ILUMA, ILUMA ONE and ILUMA PRIME use TEREA, while earlier blade-based models do not.

Our ILUMA TEREA collection⁠ includes compatible varieties such as TEREA Amber⁠ and TEREA Turquoise⁠.

For a more detailed explanation, read Which IQOS Uses TEREA?⁠ or the complete IQOS ILUMA Guide⁠.

IQOS 3 DUO – The Two-Piece HEETS Generation

IQOS 3 DUO belongs to the earlier blade-based generation.

It uses a separate Holder and Pocket Charger, with the Holder supporting two consecutive uses before it needs to return to the charger.

The range includes different finishes such as IQOS 3 DUO Warm White⁠, Velvet Grey⁠ and Brilliant Gold⁠.

IQOS 3 Multi – All-in-One HEETS-Compatible Design

IQOS 3 Multi takes a different approach.

Instead of a separate Holder and Pocket Charger, the battery and heating system are integrated into one device. A full charge supports up to 10 consecutive uses.

IQOS 2.4 Plus – An Earlier IQOS Generation

IQOS 2.4 Plus also uses the traditional Holder-and-Pocket-Charger format.

Unlike 3 DUO, its Holder provides one use before it needs to be recharged in the Pocket Charger.

The category includes IQOS 2.4 Plus White⁠ and IQOS 2.4 Plus Soft Black⁠.
