LEVIA is a range of zero-tobacco nicotine sticks designed exclusively for IQOS ILUMA devices.
Unlike TEREA and other heated tobacco sticks that contain tobacco, LEVIA uses a plant-derived material as the main substrate while containing nicotine extracted from tobacco. The sticks are designed to deliver flavoured nicotine aerosol when used with compatible IQOS ILUMA devices.
For distributors, wholesalers and duty-free operators, LEVIA represents a distinct category within the growing market for heated nicotine products. The product range includes mint, fruit and other aromatic profiles, with the available selection varying by market.
This guide explains what LEVIA is, how it differs from TEREA, which devices are compatible with it, how the product range is structured and what B2B buyers should check when sourcing LEVIA wholesale.
What Are LEVIA Sticks?
LEVIA sticks are zero-tobacco nicotine sticks developed for the IQOS ILUMA platform.
The main difference between LEVIA and conventional heated tobacco sticks is the material used inside the stick.
TEREA contains tobacco, while LEVIA uses a plant-derived substrate and contains nicotine extracted from tobacco. The substrate acts as a carrier for the nicotine and flavour components.
LEVIA therefore belongs to a different product category from traditional heated tobacco sticks, while using the same broader IQOS ILUMA ecosystem.
LEVIA sticks contain nicotine, which is addictive, and are intended for adult nicotine consumers. They are not risk-free.
How Does LEVIA Work with IQOS ILUMA?
LEVIA sticks are designed specifically for IQOS ILUMA devices.
IQOS ILUMA uses induction heating rather than the blade-based heating system found in earlier IQOS generations. LEVIA is designed to work with the ILUMA platform and should not be used with older blade-based devices such as IQOS 3 DUO.
Current IQOS information identifies LEVIA as compatible with the IQOS ILUMA range, including:
IQOS ILUMA
IQOS ILUMA PRIME
IQOS ILUMA ONE
compatible newer ILUMA devices, depending on the market
Compatibility should always be checked against the specific device and market version before use.
LEVIA vs TEREA
One of the most common questions for B2B buyers is the difference between LEVIA and TEREA.
Both are designed for the IQOS ILUMA ecosystem, but their internal composition is different.
Feature | TEREA | LEVIA |
Tobacco | Contains tobacco | Zero tobacco |
Nicotine | Contains nicotine | Contains nicotine |
Main substrate | Tobacco | Plant-derived material |
Designed for | IQOS ILUMA | IQOS ILUMA |
Product profile | Heated tobacco | Flavoured nicotine, zero tobacco |
Flavour range | Tobacco, menthol and aromatic profiles | Mint, fruit and aromatic profiles |
The key distinction is therefore tobacco vs zero tobacco, rather than the device platform.
IQOS also identifies DELIA alongside TEREA and LEVIA as a consumable designed for the IQOS ILUMA system, with LEVIA distinguished by its zero-tobacco composition.
LEVIA Flavours
The LEVIA portfolio varies by market and can change as new variants are introduced.
Current official IQOS information shows that the range can include both classic flavoured sticks and Pearl variants containing a crushable capsule.
Examples of LEVIA products currently listed in the UK market include:
LEVIA Deep Mint
A mint-focused variant designed around a fresh and cooling flavour profile.
LEVIA Strawberry with Watermelon Pearl
A fruit-oriented variant combining strawberry notes with a capsule that adds watermelon flavour.
LEVIA Blueberry with Strawberry Pearl
A berry profile with blueberry notes and a capsule designed to introduce additional strawberry flavour.
LEVIA Citrus with Peppermint Pearl
A citrus-based profile with a capsule that adds peppermint and menthol notes.
The exact LEVIA range differs by country, so these examples should not be treated as a universal international assortment.
🔵 LEVIA Glacial (Glacial Beat)
Profile: Extreme minty freshness.
Description: The coldest flavor in the lineup. It features a powerful combination of intense, icy menthol and peppermint, softened in the background by very faint creamy undertones. Perfect for those seeking maximum freshness and a clean taste without any fruity additions.
🟣 LEVIA Electro Purple
Profile: Berry-floral with a cooling sensation.
Description: A rich and multifaceted flavor. At its core is sweet, ripe blueberry elegantly intertwined with subtle floral notes. This is complemented by a pleasant, yet not overpowering, cooling effect. A great everyday choice for berry flavor enthusiasts.
🟢 LEVIA Citrus Pearl (with capsule)
Profile: Citrus + Peppermint.
Description: An invigorating flavor with a twist. The base aroma of the stick is a light and fresh citrus mix (lemon/lime). But once you crush the capsule, the taste dramatically transforms, becoming enriched by the bright, cool aroma of peppermint and menthol.
🔴 LEVIA Berry Pearl (with capsule)
Profile: Blueberry + Strawberry with a cooling sensation.
Description: A true berry explosion. Initially, the stick delivers a smooth aroma of dark berries with a dominant blueberry note. Clicking the capsule adds a sweet, juicy strawberry burst and a noticeable menthol chill to the flavor.
🟠 LEVIA Summer Pearl (with capsule)
Profile: Strawberry + Watermelon with a cooling sensation.
Description: The juicy taste of real summer. Before popping the capsule, you experience a delicate strawberry aroma with subtle herbal nuances. By crushing the capsule, you instantly infuse the mix with the sweet, refreshing taste of ripe watermelon and a pleasant icy finish.
LEVIA Pearl Sticks
Some LEVIA products feature a capsule incorporated into the stick.
The capsule can be activated by pressing the appropriate part of the stick, changing or enhancing the flavour profile during use.
This format is one of the distinguishing features of several LEVIA variants and allows the same product to provide two different flavour stages.
For wholesale buyers, the exact capsule variant should be specified when requesting a quotation.
LEVIA Duty Free and Export Versions
