About BONDS by IQOS
BONDS by IQOS is the official manufacturer’s entry-tier heated tobacco device and the simplest in the IQOS range: a one-piece anodised aluminium body running ROUNDHEAT, which warms the stick from the outside through the wall of the heating chamber instead of piercing it. Nothing enters the stick and nothing reaches the chamber, so there is no blade and nothing to clean, ever. Its pebble-shaped body comes from a 2024 redesign that took an iF Design Award in 2025. There is no screen, no Bluetooth and no app of any kind — one button, four white status lights, sessions of up to five minutes with no puff limit, and three sticks back to back before a short cool-down.

Frequently asked questions
Which sticks does BONDS by IQOS use?
ROUNDHEAT sticks, and only those — two lines: Blends, the real-tobacco range, and Beyond, which contains nicotine but no tobacco leaf. Both are sealed at each end with a filter plug and carry no metal element, which is what suits them to heating from the outside. Which of the two a market stocks varies, so check the local listing.
How long does BONDS by IQOS last per charge?
Up to 25 sessions on a full charge, and three sticks can be heated back to back before a short cool-down. Charging runs over USB-C with the cable in the box and takes around three hours from empty. No power adapter is included; the recommended one is a 10 W unit rated 5 V / 2 A.
