BLENDS A Purple Edition

BLENDS A Purple Edition blends menthol cooling with garden berry aroma over Indonesian clove tobacco, sold across the UAE and built only for BONDS by IQOS. It ships in the same ROUNDHEAT STICKS™ format as the rest of the BLENDS line, in 20-stick packs bundled ten to a carton. Some listings call this exact stick “Purple Menthol” instead — same product, different label. Delivery covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah.

If you like a cooling stick with fruit underneath rather than fruit alone, this is the BLENDS A pick. It’s not for anyone still on IQOS ILUMA, IQOS 3, or lil SOLID — none of them accept a BLENDS stick, cooling or otherwise. Buyers must be 18 or older to order under UAE law.

Key Features

• Menthol cooling with garden berry aroma. The manufacturer describes it as a tobacco blend with menthol cooling and garden berry flavour, layered over Indonesian clove. That’s the coolest stick in the BLENDS A range built so far, not the woody or spiced ones.
• ROUNDHEAT STICKS™ construction. Manufacturer copy states this format plainly: built only for BONDS by IQOS, distinct from the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ TEREA and ILUMA use.
• Indonesian clove base. Every BLENDS A stick starts from Indonesian clove tobacco, the trait that separates the whole line from TEREA.
• 20 sticks per pack, ten packs per carton. The manufacturer’s own bundle listing confirms the ten-pack carton structure, matching the single competitor source checked.

Benefits

A menthol-forward stick gives you a cooler draw than the clove-and-fruit editions in this line, without leaving Indonesian clove out of the blend entirely. If cooling matters more to you than the fruit note itself, this is the BLENDS A stick built around that priority.

Product Specifications

Device Compatibility

BLENDS A Purple Edition only works in a BONDS by IQOS device. It’s built as a ROUNDHEAT stick, so IQOS ILUMA’s induction chamber won’t accept it, and neither will IQOS 3 Duo or lil SOLID, both of which use older blade-heating designs. Using it in any of those risks damaging the device rather than just failing to heat. If you’re checking compatibility before you order, look for BONDS branding on the device body.

How to Use

1. Open a fresh pack and remove one BLENDS A Purple Edition stick.
2. Insert the stick into the BONDS by IQOS device.
3. Wait for the first vibration, signaling preheating.
4. Wait for the second vibration before your first draw.
5. Puff until a vibration plus a pulsing white light signal roughly 30 seconds remain.
6. Remove and dispose of the stick once the session ends.

Buying It in the UAE

BLENDS A Purple Edition ships to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah. UAE law sets 18 as the minimum purchase age, so have ID ready if your delivery includes an age check. Check the pack on arrival for an intact seal and a stick count of 20 — anything short of that is worth flagging to the seller before you open it.

Purple Edition Is Purple Menthol

Some listings sell this exact stick as “BLENDS Purple Menthol” instead of “Purple Edition.” They’re not different products. The manufacturer’s own product code for the BLENDS Purple Menthol listing carries “Purple Edition” as its internal variant tag, meaning the two names describe one SKU sold under different display names in different catalogs. If you’ve seen both names and wondered which to order, either gets you the same stick.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Menthol cooling with a berry note, the coolest stick built into the BLENDS A range so far
• Naming confusion between “Purple Edition” and “Purple Menthol” is now resolved, not guessed at
• Pack and carton counts hold steady with the manufacturer’s own bundle listing

Cons

• Locked to BONDS hardware, same as every stick in this line
• Nicotine content per stick still isn’t published for this market
• Only one independent UAE-adjacent retailer source was available to check against the manufacturer this time

FAQs

Is BLENDS Purple Edition the same as BLENDS Purple Menthol?
Yes. They’re one product sold under two display names — the manufacturer’s own listing for “BLENDS Purple Menthol” carries “Purple Edition” as its internal variant code, confirming they aren’t separate sticks.

How many sticks come in one pack of BLENDS A Purple Edition?
One pack holds 20 sticks. Ten packs make a 200-stick carton, matching the manufacturer’s own bundle listing for this product.

What’s the IQOS BONDS-compatible stick range built on?
IQOS BONDS runs exclusively on BLENDS ROUNDHEAT STICKS™, a separate format from the TEREA sticks that ILUMA devices use. The two aren’t interchangeable in either direction.

Can BLENDS Purple Edition be used in IQOS 3 DUO?
No. IQOS 3 Duo uses an older blade-heating design built for HEETS, not the ROUNDHEAT format BLENDS sticks use. Trying it risks damaging the device rather than just failing to heat.

Can I get BLENDS A Purple Edition delivered to Al Ain?
Yes, Al Ain delivery runs alongside Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. Confirm the seller’s stated delivery window for Al Ain specifically, since it typically runs longer than same-day Dubai orders.

How do I verify a BLENDS Purple pack is genuine?
Check for an unbroken seal and a stick count of exactly 20 before opening the pack. Buy only from a seller shipping original stock, and raise anything resealed or short-counted before you use it.

Where can I buy IQOS BONDS sticks in Sharjah?
BLENDS A Purple Edition is available through UAE heated tobacco retailers stocking the BONDS line, with delivery covering Sharjah alongside the rest of the Emirates. Confirm the seller carries BONDS-compatible stock before ordering.

What happens if I use this stick in an incompatible device?
It won’t heat properly, and depending on the device, it may cause damage rather than a simple failed session. Stick to BONDS by IQOS devices only.

Do I need to be 18 to buy IQOS BONDS sticks in the UAE?
Yes. UAE law sets the minimum purchase age for heated tobacco at 18. Delivery couriers may ask for ID before handing over the order.

Conclusion

BLENDS A Purple Edition earns its spot as the cooling option in the BLENDS A line, backed by a manufacturer confirmation that clears up a genuine naming mix-up between “Purple Edition” and “Purple Menthol.” What’s missing is nicotine content, and this run leaned on a single competitor source rather than several, so treat the pack-level facts as solid but not battle-tested against wide market coverage. For BONDS owners who want menthol over fruit-forward or straight tobacco, this is the stick. It offers nothing to anyone outside the BONDS ecosystem.
