Alright, so I’ve been on this quest to find TEREA sticks for my IQOS ILUMA device here in the good ol’ US of A. Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a wild goose chase.
First things first, I started with the most obvious thing. I searched “where to buy TEREA in USA” on the internet. I was hit with a bunch of websites that talked about buying them online. It sounded promising, but I was a little skeptical. There were mentions of “cheap IQOS HEETS USA buy” and “TEREA sticks online at unbeatable prices.” I mean, who wouldn’t be tempted by those, right?
Then I dug a bit deeper and found out some not-so-great news. Apparently, TEREA sticks aren’t sold anywhere in North America. Not even in Canada, where you can only buy HEETS without any flavors. Bummer! One forum even mentioned that IQOS ILUMA probably won’t hit the US market until 2026 because of some FDA pre-marketing authorization stuff. Talk about a long wait!
I found some websites, like one called “theheatonline” and another named “Shipmecarton,” claiming to sell TEREA sticks imported directly from the manufacturer. They even boasted about fast shipping and secure PayPal payments. It seemed legit, but with all the restrictions I had read about, I was still hesitant.
- Explored online forums and discussions.
- Discovered the unavailability of TEREA in North America.
- Came across online stores claiming to sell imported TEREA.
I learned that IQOS is sold in over 60 countries worldwide and entered the US in 2019. It’s available in a few states like Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. But here’s the kicker – there was a ruling in 2021 that said IQOS infringed on some patents, so they don’t expect to have IQOS devices or Marlboro HeatSticks here in 2022.
So, what did I do? Well, I decided to hold off on buying anything for now. It seems like getting TEREA sticks in the US is a bit more complicated than I thought.
My Takeaway
It looks like I’ll have to wait it out or maybe try to find someone who’s traveling abroad to bring some back. It’s a bit of a hassle, but hey, what can you do? If anyone out there has found a legit way to get TEREA sticks in the US, hit me up! I’m all ears. Otherwise, I guess I’ll just keep dreaming of those Warm Regular Terea and their comforting, rich tobacco experience.
