BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix for IQOS BONDS

Crush the capsule in a BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix stick and Indonesian clove tobacco turns into a passion fruit session, sold across the UAE for the BONDS by IQOS device. Made by Philip Morris International, it ships as a 20-stick pack, with a full carton running to 200. Leave the capsule alone and it smokes as a plain clove stick — crushing it is optional, not required. Delivery covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah.

Current BONDS owners get the most out of this one, since it doubles as two sticks in one depending on whether you crush the capsule. It won’t help anyone running ILUMA — BONDS and ILUMA don’t share a heating system, so BLENDS sticks stay out of TEREA territory entirely. Confirm which device you actually own before ordering. Buyers must be 18 or older under UAE law.

Key Features

• Capsule-activated passion fruit. A crushable capsule sits in the filter. Leave it whole for a clove-only draw, or crush it mid-session to release the passion fruit note — the manufacturer lists it as a fruit capsule blend, and one UAE retailer confirms the crush-to-activate mechanism.
• ROUNDHEAT™ construction. BLENDS sticks run on ROUNDHEAT™ technology, a different heating structure from the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ that TEREA and ILUMA use.
• Indonesian clove base. Every stick in the BLENDS A line starts from Indonesian clove tobacco, which is what separates it from TEREA in flavor and format.
• 20-stick packs, 200-stick cartons. Ten packs make a full carton, a figure both UAE retailers checked agree on.

Benefits

A capsule stick gives you a choice mid-pack that a fixed-flavor stick can’t. If you’re not sure whether you want the fruit note today, you don’t have to decide until you’re already smoking it. That flexibility is the main reason to reach for this one over a straight tobacco BLENDS edition.

Product Specifications

Device Compatibility

This stick only works in a BONDS by IQOS device. Put it in an IQOS ILUMA, IQOS 3, or lil SOLID and it simply won’t heat — those devices use a blade or an induction coil, not the ROUNDHEAT™ chamber BLENDS is built for. TEREA and HEETS sticks run into the same wall in reverse: neither fits a BONDS device either. Check the device body for BONDS branding if you’re not certain which one you have.

How to Use

1. Open a fresh pack and remove one BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix stick.
2. Insert the stick into the BONDS by IQOS device.
3. Decide whether to crush the filter capsule now, before the first draw, for the passion fruit note.
4. Wait for the first vibration, signaling preheating has started.
5. Wait for the second vibration before puffing.
6. Puff until one vibration plus a pulsing white light warn that roughly 30 seconds remain, then remove and dispose of the stick.

Buying It in the UAE

BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix ships to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah. UAE law sets the minimum age at 18, so keep ID on hand in case delivery includes an age check. Open the pack in front of the courier if you can, and confirm the seal is intact and the capsule hasn’t already been crushed in transit — a pre-crushed pack is a sign it wasn’t stored properly.

The Capsule Is the Point of This Stick

Neither competitor page walks through what the capsule actually does. BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix ships with the filter capsule uncrushed, so the first puff is plain Indonesian clove until you decide otherwise. Crushing it partway through a stick is normal — you don’t have to choose passion fruit or plain before you start.

BONDS Isn’t a Smaller ILUMA

Some buyers assume BONDS is a scaled-down version of ILUMA. It isn’t. The two run entirely separate stick systems — ROUNDHEAT™ for BLENDS, induction for TEREA — built by the same manufacturer but not cross-compatible in either direction. Owning one device tells you nothing about whether the other’s sticks will work.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Capsule format gives a genuine choice mid-session, not just a fixed flavor
• Pack and carton sizes match consistently across both UAE listings checked
• Runs on the same compact BONDS device as the rest of the line

Cons

• Locked to BONDS hardware, so ILUMA and older IQOS owners can’t use it
• Nicotine content per stick still isn’t published anywhere for this market
• Capsule mechanism is easy to miss if a listing doesn’t explain it, which is common

FAQs

How many sticks are in one pack of BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix?
One pack holds 20 sticks, and a full carton contains ten packs for 200 sticks total. Both UAE retailers checked for this product agree on that count.

Does BLENDS Passion Fruit Mix work with IQOS ILUMA i?
No. It’s built exclusively for BONDS by IQOS and won’t heat in any ILUMA model, including ILUMA i. The two devices use different heating technology, so the sticks aren’t interchangeable.

What is IQOS BONDS, explained simply?
IQOS BONDS is a compact, all-in-one heated tobacco device built only for ROUNDHEAT™ BLENDS sticks, separate from the ILUMA line that runs TEREA. It supports up to three sessions back-to-back before it needs a short cooldown.

How do BLENDS sticks differ from TEREA sticks?
BLENDS uses ROUNDHEAT™ construction for BONDS devices, while TEREA uses induction heating for ILUMA devices. They come from the same manufacturer but run on separate hardware and aren’t interchangeable in either direction.

Can I get BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix delivered to Ajman?
Yes, Ajman delivery runs alongside Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah. Same-emirate orders in Dubai and Sharjah tend to move fastest, so confirm the seller’s stated window for Ajman specifically.

How can I tell if an IQOS BONDS stick pack is genuine?
Check that the pack seal is unbroken and the capsule inside the filter hasn’t already been crushed before you open it. Buy from a seller shipping original stock, and raise anything that looks resealed or tampered with before use.

What’s the minimum age to buy IQOS BONDS sticks in Dubai?
You must be 18 or older, since that’s the legal purchase age for heated tobacco products under UAE law. Delivery couriers may request ID before handing over the order.

What happens if the capsule gets crushed before I use it?
The stick still works, but you’ll get the passion fruit note from the first puff instead of choosing when to activate it. A pack that arrives with several capsules already crushed suggests rough handling in transit.

Where can I buy BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix in Dubai?
It’s available through UAE heated tobacco retailers that stock the BONDS/BLENDS line and deliver across Dubai and the wider Emirates. Confirm the seller carries BONDS-compatible stock specifically before ordering, since not every TEREA seller does.

Conclusion

BLENDS A Passion Fruit Mix works best as a flexible pick for BONDS owners who don’t want to commit to one flavor per stick, backed by a pack and carton count both UAE sellers agree on. What’s missing is nicotine content and any real explanation of the capsule mechanism on the competitor pages checked — this page fills that second gap directly. For BONDS owners who like having the option, not the obligation, of fruit flavor, it’s a solid stick. It does nothing for anyone still running ILUMA.
