IQOS ORIGINALS DUO FAQs

• We decided to change the name, as it better suits IQOS. 
• Original, because it provides  the same real tobacco taste and satisfaction.
• Original, because it comes with the same tried-and-trusted HEATCONTROL TECHNOLOGY with a unique ceramic blade that has helped make IQOS the No.1 heated tobacco product* and choice for 15.2 million adult smokers around the world**.

• Market note:

• IQOS ORIGINALS DUO is the new name for IQOS 3 DUO. 
• Easy to use and customizable via IQOS app, IQOS ORIGINALS DUO comes in the same form as its predecessor, providing the same real tobacco taste, but with new colour options and new accessories. 

• Both IQOS ORIGINALS devices contain our patented HEATCONTROL TECHNOLOGY, using our unique ceramic blade to heat the tobacco from the INSIDE. 
• This blade with platinum and gold tracks, inserts into the HEETS tobacco stick so all its wide surface touches the tobacco, optimally heating it to a temperature below that of combustion. This releases a real tobacco taste, providing cigarette-like satisfaction without producing, smoke, ash. 

• IQOS ORIGINALS devices are designed to work exclusively with HEETS tobacco sticks. The devices’ flat, wide ceramic blade optimally heats the tobacco releasing tobacco vapour to give you  satisfaction.
• You can explore the HEETS range of tobacco sticks and choose those that best suit your personal taste.
