Levia

About Levia

Levia is the official manufacturer’s first zero-tobacco heated stick line, built around a cellulose plant-fibre substrate that replaces the tobacco leaf core found in Terea and Heets. The substrate is infused with high-purity nicotine and non-tobacco aromatic compounds, then sealed in a stainless-steel heating element and a cooling filter. Levia sticks are engineered for SMARTCORE induction heating — the ILUMA-only system that warms the heater magnetically from inside the stick, with no external blade or pin. ILUMA firmware 4.0 and later auto-detects Levia and adjusts the heating profile accordingly. Each pack contains 20 sticks, sealed in an aluminium pouch for moisture control; a typical session lasts about 5–6 minutes or roughly 14 puffs.

Lineup

• Standalone — flavoured nicotine sticks without a click capsule, where the aroma is delivered through the cellulose substrate itself for a flavour profile that stays consistent across the session. Examples include Deep Mint (clean menthol), Island Beat (peppermint with creamy notes), Glacial Beat (intense cooling mint) and Electro Rouge (berry and floral with mint accents).
• Pearl — click-to-activate capsule sticks delivering a flavour-to-flavour experience. Squeezing the Pearl inside the filter releases a second flavour layer on top of the base stick. Variants include Strawberry with Watermelon Pearl, Citrus with Peppermint Pearl, and Blueberry with Strawberry Pearl; some markets also list Electro Purple (cooling blueberry).

Compatibility

Levia sticks are designed exclusively for the IQOS ILUMA platform — ILUMA, ILUMA Prime, ILUMA One and ILUMA i — which uses SMARTCORE induction heating. They are not compatible with the older blade-based IQOS Originals (3 DUO, 2.4 Plus), nor with glo, lil SOLID or Ploom devices. ILUMA firmware 4.0 and later automatically recognises Levia and applies the correct heating profile.

FAQ

What are Levia sticks?

Levia are zero-tobacco nicotine sticks from the official manufacturer, designed exclusively for IQOS ILUMA devices. Instead of a tobacco leaf core they use a cellulose plant-fibre substrate infused with high-purity nicotine and non-tobacco aromatic profiles.

Which devices are compatible with Levia?

Levia sticks work only with IQOS ILUMA platform devices — ILUMA, ILUMA Prime, ILUMA One and ILUMA i. They are not compatible with the older blade-based IQOS Originals (3 DUO, 2.4 Plus), nor with glo, lil SOLID or Ploom devices.

What is the difference between Levia and Terea?

Both are made by the official manufacturer for the IQOS ILUMA platform and share the same SMARTCORE induction heating mechanism. Terea uses a real tobacco core; Levia replaces it with a cellulose plant-fibre substrate and is positioned as the flavour-forward, zero-tobacco line, including click-to-activate Pearl capsule variants for a flavour-to-flavour experience.
