Okay, so I’ve been on this hunt for TEREA sticks around here. I have this IQOS ILUMA, you know, the one that heats tobacco instead of burning it. Supposedly it’s better than regular cigarettes cause it has fewer bad chemicals and stuff. But here’s the thing, you need these special TEREA sticks for it to work.
First, I hit up the usual spots. I went to 7-Eleven, thinking they’d have everything. I even used that Instacart app, ’cause sometimes they deliver stuff like that. The app said they could get cigarettes to me in like an hour, but no luck with TEREA. Then I tried Gopuff—nothing.
So, I got a bit more serious. I remembered seeing a bunch of smoke shops when I was driving through Ashburn, Virginia. I looked them up on Yelp. Places like “Tobacco Hut,” “AIO Smoke & Vape,” and a couple of others. I called each of them, one by one. I asked them if they have TEREA sticks. Most of them even didn’t know what TEREA is, not to mention IQOS ILUMA. These stores mostly have regular cigarettes.
- Tobacco Hut
- AIO Smoke & Vape
- Ashburn Cigars & Vapes
- Imperial Tobacco
- Old Virginia Tobacco
I even checked out some local supermarkets and those little convenience stores. They had HEETS, which are for the older IQOS devices, but still no TEREA.
Feeling a bit stuck, I figured I’d try the official IQOS website. They do sell TEREA sticks online. Finally I ordered some online. The website showed many options of the flavors. But they have age limit. You need to be at least 21 to buy from them.
So that’s where I’m at. I’ve basically turned into a TEREA detective, and it’s been quite the adventure. Hopefully next time it won’t be such a wild goose chase.
