Is it possible to use DELIA with IQOS ILUMA?
In a little more detail, here's what you should know about using IQOS ILUMA with DELIA sticks.
DELIA sticks are identical in size and design to TEREA. Both are sealed on each end with protective plug filters—not to block tar or combustion byproducts (since IQOS doesn’t burn tobacco), but to keep your IQOS ILUMA clean by preventing any direct contact with the tobacco.
Inside each stick is a thin metal plate—the heating element—cleverly hidden within the tobacco. When you activate IQOS ILUMA, it generates electromagnetic waves that heat this plate from the inside. This innovative IQOS technology ensures the tobacco is heated evenly and efficiently, delivering a rich, consistent flavor without any mess.
These sticks differ from TEREA in the tobacco blend and price.
Therefore, DELIA sticks, like TEREA, are ideally suited to IQOS ILUMA of all models - IQOS ILUMA, PRIME, ONE and even IQOS ILUMA i.
DELIA sticks are not compatible with earlier IQOS devices that use a heating blade—such as IQOS DUO, ONE, 3, MULTI, or 2.4 Plus.
Trying to use DELIA with these devices can lead to two outcomes: at best, the stick won’t heat up; at worst, you could damage the device. DELIA is designed exclusively for IQOS ILUMA, which uses a completely different heating technology based on induction.
Using DELIA sticks with IQOS ILUMA devices is just like using TEREA—simple and effortless. Gently insert the stick into the device until it reaches the line on the filter. Not sure which end is correct? Just check for the logo: if you can see it, the stick is inserted the right way.
For IQOS ILUMA and IQOS ILUMA PRIME, the experience is fully automatic—no buttons needed. Once the stick is inserted, the device will start heating automatically and notify you with a gentle vibration when it’s ready to use.
For IQOS ILUMA ONE, you’ll need to press the button to start the heating process. After that, just sit back and enjoy the experience.
As soon as your IQOS ILUMA device signals with a vibration that heating is complete, you can begin your experience. DELIA sticks, like TEREA, are designed for simplicity.
Each DELIA stick provides an average of 14 puffs or up to 6 minutes of use, whichever comes first. For the best experience, take smooth puffs with pauses of at least 4–5 seconds between them. This allows the heating element to maintain optimal temperature, ensuring the aerosol remains rich and the flavor stays consistent throughout your session.
If needed, you can remove the stick at any point during the session—there’s no need to wait until it ends. Once the stick is taken out, the device will automatically power off.
