About glo Hilo Emerald
glo Hilo Emerald is the deep-green jewel-tone option in the official manufacturer’s seven-color glo Hilo lineup. It is the compact, all-in-one model in the new HILO platform that the official manufacturer introduced in June 2025 to replace the older HYPER family of induction-heated devices. Hardware is identical across all seven colorways — Onyx, Coral, Emerald, Amethyst, Amber, Ruby and Sapphire — so the choice is purely aesthetic, with Emerald sitting in the cool-jewel half of the lineup alongside glo Hilo Sapphire and glo Hilo Amethyst.
The device runs on TurboStart dual heating — a quartz / resistive element working with infrared waves — which brings a Virto or Rivo stick to its 370 °C target temperature in roughly five seconds, among the fastest heat-up times in the heat-not-burn category. The body weighs 76 g (about half the weight of an IQOS ILUMA Prime), carries an EasyView AMOLED screen on the front panel and charges over USB-C in approximately 90 minutes for up to 20 sessions per full charge. The deep emerald-green finish is one of the cool-spectrum jewel colors in the range; the surface treatment is sleek and uniform without claiming a specific texture.

Frequently asked questions
Which sticks are compatible with glo Hilo Emerald?
glo Hilo Emerald accepts the new HILO-platform stick geometry: Virto (tobacco) and Rivo (rooibos, non-tobacco). Both feature StickSeal technology, which keeps the heating chamber free of loose substrate. The device is not compatible with HYPER-family Demi-slim sticks (Kent Neostiks, Neo Demi or Veo), legacy glo Nano sticks, or with IQOS (Terea, Levia, Delia, HEETS), lil SOLID (FIIT), Pulze or Ploom sticks.
How is Emerald different from other glo Hilo colorways?
Within the seven-color lineup, Emerald is the deep jewel-toned green option. It sits in the cool-jewel half of the range together with glo Hilo Sapphire (deep blue) and glo Hilo Amethyst (deep purple), opposite the warmer glo Hilo Ruby (deep red). Hardware, specifications, in-box contents, Virto/Rivo compatibility and pricing are identical across all colorways — pick Emerald if you want a green jewel-tone glo Hilo; the rest of the device is the same.
