Key Components Inside a TEREA Stick
Each TEREA stick includes:
1️⃣ Tobacco Matrix — real processed tobacco
2️⃣ Smartcore Metal Element (induction heater)
3️⃣ Aerosol‑forming agents like glycerin
4️⃣ Filtration and cooling sections
5️⃣ Protective outer paper & airflow design
📌 Each section plays a specific role in delivering smooth aerosol at controlled temperature.
The Smartcore Metal Induction Element
The heart of the stick:
✔️ reacts to the magnetic field inside ILUMA
✔️ heats the tobacco from the inside outward
✔️ eliminates the heating blade
✔️ ensures uniform extraction
📌 This innovation improves durability, taste consistency, and hygiene.
Tobacco Matrix Design & Composition
The tobacco inside TEREA is:
• finely processed
• compacted into a cylinder
• optimized for heat transfer
• humidified with aerosol carriers
📌 Structure allows rapid nicotine release without burning.
Filter System — Cooling and Comfort
The mouth‑end of TEREA includes:
✔️ cooling materials
✔️ non‑woven filtration
✔️ taste‑smoothing airflow pattern
📌 Prevents harshness and reduces particulate irritation.
Aerosol‑Forming Compounds
To mimic the aerosol texture of smoke, TEREA contains:
• glycerin
• propylene glycol (may vary by market)
These release warm vapor when heated — not smoke or ash.
📌 Without combustion → reduced exposure vs cigarettes.
Outer Shell Engineering — Lightweight but Durable
The outer layer holds everything together:
✔️ strong paper structure
✔️ thermal protection
✔️ airflow guidance
✔️ prevents tobacco deformation
Designed for ILUMA compatibility
📌 The cigarette‑like feel supports behavioral switching.
Single‑Use Design — Why Reuse Is Unsafe
TEREA is one‑time use only:
• tobacco is fully extracted during a session
• structural integrity changes after heating
• reuse can lead to burning or overheating
Safety principles for heated tobacco
📌 New stick = consistent quality and controlled temperature.
Final Summary — Smart Engineering for Adult Smoker Transition
TEREA sticks combine:
✔️ real tobacco experience
✔️ regulated heating environment
✔️ reduced chemical exposure vs cigarettes
✔️ cleaner indoor impact
✔️ reliability without a fragile blade
✔️ structure designed solely for adult smokers who want to move away from smoking
