BONDS by IQOS is the compact, lower-priced heated tobacco system that Philip Morris International introduced in 2022 alongside ILUMA, and it is the system this store leads on. Because it is newer and simpler than ILUMA, it is also the one people know least about. This is the plain guide: the device, the sticks, the first order, and the one rule that matters.
The device
BONDS is a single all-in-one body that heats BLENDS sticks. There is no separate pocket charger and no choice of model; the choice is the finish. We stock it in Cosmic Black, Ocean Blue and Ruby Red, and the three share one price, 120 AED. It comes boxed, and the sticks are separate.
The sticks: BLENDS, sold by edition
Where TEREA is sold by the market a carton was produced for, BLENDS is sold by edition. We stock the BLENDS A range: six Editions (Warm, Rich, Summer, Blossom, Purple and Tropical) and two Mixes (Watermelon Mix and Passion Fruit Mix), all at 110 AED a pack. There is no market to choose and no price ladder to read; pick an edition and a quantity. The BLENDS page lists every edition with the live price.
The one rule
BONDS takes BLENDS, and only BLENDS. TEREA sticks are for ILUMA and do not fit a BONDS device; BLENDS do not fit an ILUMA. The two systems were designed separately and do not cross over. If you already own an ILUMA, nothing on the BONDS pages is for you, and if you own a BONDS, nothing on the TEREA pages is. Our compatibility guide covers this in full.
What a first order looks like
A device and two or three packs. The device on its own sits under the free-delivery line, so pairing it with packs is both practical (a device without sticks cannot be used) and cheaper to deliver: Free delivery on orders over 299 AED; below that, delivery is a flat 30 AED. After that, BLENDS packs are re-ordered on their own; because every edition shares a price, the maths is the same whichever editions go in the basket.
BONDS or ILUMA, if you are choosing from scratch
BONDS is the lower-priced device with a single model and sticks sold per pack on one price. ILUMA is the larger family, three current models plus limited editions, with TEREA cartons of two hundred sticks from six markets. If you want simplicity and a lower entry cost, BONDS. If you want the wider range and do not mind reading a price ladder, ILUMA. Both are stocked in full here, and the decision is made once, because the sticks follow the device.
