What Is the Mechanism Behind Heat-Not-Burn Tobacco?
The SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is the heating technology used inside IQOS ILUMA devices. Unlike older IQOS models that use a metal heating blade, this system heats the tobacco stick through induction technology without direct contact using the bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™.
Bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™
The SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is the heating technology used inside IQOS ILUMA devices. Unlike older IQOS models that use a metal heating blade, this system heats the tobacco stick through induction technology without direct contact.
How It Works
- TEREA sticks contain a small metal-coated element inside the stick.
- When the TEREA stick is inserted into the IQOS ILUMA device, the device creates an electromagnetic induction field.
- This induction field heats the metal element inside the stick.
- The heat spreads evenly through the tobacco from inside the stick without using a physical blade.

Key Advantages of SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™
- No heating blade
- Cleaner usage experience
- Consistent tobacco heating
- Better flavor stability
- Less maintenance required
- Designed exclusively for TEREA sticks
Important
TEREA sticks only work with IQOS ILUMA devices because they are specially designed for the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology.
Why TEREA + ILUMA Feels Different
IQOS ILUMA uses induction heating instead of a metal blade. The heating element is built inside the TEREA stick itself, creating:
- cleaner usage
- more consistent flavor
- less cleaning required
