Introduction
The world of IQOS has changed the way we enjoy tobacco. These innovative products heat tobacco, not burn it, a cleaner and more modern way of smoking. Among the many IQOS products, the IQOS 3 Duo and the IQOS Iluma series are two of the most popular lines that cater to different needs. But the question is: Can Terea sticks be used with IQOS 3 Duo?
The short answer is no. Terea sticks are designed for IQOS Iluma devices, not IQOS 3 Duo. In this blog, we will explain why and compare both devices to help you decide.
Understanding IQOS Devices
What is IQOS 3 Duo?
IQOS 3 Duo is one of the most popular IQOS devices, known for its design and performance. It has a blade-based heating system that warms tobacco sticks for users who prefer IQOS Heets sticks.
Features of IQOS 3 Duo:
- Blade heating technology.
- IQOS Heets sticks are compatible.
- Compact and ergonomic.
- Two consecutive uses without recharging.

What is the IQOS Iluma Series?
IQOS Iluma series takes tobacco heating to the next level with the Smartcore Induction System. This technology uses induction heating, with no blade needed, for a cleaner and more consistent experience. The Iluma series has three models:
- Iluma Standard: The classic model with advanced features.
- Iluma Prime: The premium model with more design and performance.
- Iluma One: The compact and budget-friendly model.
Here is the new version of the Iluma Series.
IQOS Iluma devices are Terea sticks only, designed for the induction heating system.
IQOS 3 Duo vs. IQOS Iluma Differences
Heating Technology
- IQOS 3 Duo: Blade heating requires direct contact with the tobacco stick.
- IQOS Iluma: Induction heating, magnetic field heats the tobacco inside Terea sticks.
Stick compatibility
- IQOS 3 Duo: Only Heets sticks.
- IQOS Iluma: Terea sticks only.
User experience
- IQOS 3 Duo: Needs cleaning regularly due to blade residue.
- IQOS Iluma: A cleaner experience as the heating element doesn’t touch the tobacco.
Device Design
The design difference between IQOS 3 Duo and Iluma devices is another reason for the incompatibility. The Iluma series is designed for induction heating, so Terea sticks can’t be used in IQOS 3 Duo.
Why Terea Sticks Can’t Be Used in IQOS 3 Duo
Technical Reasons
Terea sticks have an internal metal core that works with the Smartcore Induction System in IQOS Iluma devices. IQOS 3 Duo uses a blade to heat Heets sticks. Without the induction system, IQOS 3 Duo can’t heat Terea sticks.
Potential Risks
- The device will not work.
- Will void the warranty.
- Tobacco won’t be heated properly.
