Every other stick in the Kazakhstan collection decides its flavor for you. Sun Pearl hands you the controls. Inside its filter sits a crushable flavor capsule the “pearl” and until you click it, you’re smoking a smooth toasted tobacco with a whisper of herbs and a faint cool undertone.
Click it, and the session flips: sweet watermelon and honeydew melon flood through on a crisp menthol breeze. Two flavors, one stick, and you choose the moment. Crafted by Philip Morris International (PMI) for the SMARTCORE Induction System, smoke-free and heat-not-burn, at AED 139.
How the Two Stages Work
🍂
Stage 1 — Before the Click
Balanced toasted tobacco with light herbal notes and a subtle underlying freshness. A complete session on its own.

🍉
Stage 2 — After the Click
Sweet watermelon and honeydew melon burst through, wrapped in a crisp menthol chill. Like an iced fruit drink over tobacco.
The capsule sits in the filter — look for the marked circle. Press it firmly with your fingers to activate.
One practical tip that most stores never mention: crush the capsule with your fingers, not your teeth. Finger pressure is more reliable and keeps the bead from shifting inside the filter.
The Click Is a Choice, Not a Rule
Here’s what real user feedback reveals, and it changes how you should think about this stick: plenty of Sun Pearl regulars don’t click at all, or click late. The capsule flavor is intense by design, and the pre-click tobacco stage is good enough to stand alone.
That turns one stick into four different sessions:
- Click at the start — a full watermelon-menthol session, the loudest version.
- Click midway — the classic play: tobacco first half, fruit second half.
- Click near the end — tobacco session with a sweet, fresh sign-off.
- Never click — a smooth herbal-toasted stick with a hint of cool, and the capsule stays as an option for next time. Well, this time.
No other stick type in the batch offers this. It’s also why Sun Pearl is rated the most balanced, beginner-friendly entry in the whole Pearl series you can ease into the capsule concept at your own pace.
Who Sun Pearl Fits
- First-time Pearl users. This is the recommended starting point of the capsule range: friendlier and more balanced than the colder Tidal Pearl or the darker Twilight Pearl.
- Variety seekers who hate carrying two packs. The stick literally is two flavors.
- Fans of sweet-fresh profiles. The watermelon reads like lightly ripe fruit, not candy, and the mint is deliberately mild so the sweetness leads.
- Discreet users. Post-session, the aroma left behind is minty with soft melon notes it masks the typical heated tobacco smell better than most sticks in the batch.
One honest caution from the review pool: users who already love Purple Wave sometimes find Sun Pearl’s fruit less bright by comparison. If a bold constant fruit-menthol is your thing, Purple may satisfy more; Sun Pearl’s magic is the control, not the volume.

30 Days of Clicking (and Not Clicking)
🍉 30-Day Log — TEREA Sun Pearl Kazakhstan
Days 1–7: Clicked every stick at the start, like an excited beginner. The watermelon is genuinely juicy, the mint stays polite. Fun, but loud.
Days 8–15: Discovered mid-session clicking and never went back. The tobacco-to-melon flip halfway through is the whole point of this stick.
Days 16–23: Ran a no-click week. The base stick is quietly good — herbal, toasted, lightly fresh. Understood why some regulars never press at all.
Days 24–30: Verdict: the batch’s best gateway into the Pearl series, and the only stick here that’s still surprising a month in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I never click the capsule?
You get a smooth toasted tobacco session with light herbal notes and a faint freshness. Many regular users prefer it this way — the capsule is an option, not a requirement.
What does the capsule taste like?
Sweet watermelon with honeydew melon, carried on a mild menthol chill. The mint is intentionally kept soft so the fruit leads.
Sun Pearl or Purple Wave?
Purple Wave for a constant, bolder berry-menthol from first puff to last. Sun Pearl for control: tobacco when you want it, fruit when you click.
Is this the right first Pearl stick?
Yes. Across the Pearl series, Sun Pearl is the most balanced and easiest starting point before moving to the colder Tidal or darker Twilight.
How much nicotine does it have?
Approximately 0.5 mg per stick, the same as every TEREA flavour. Clicking the capsule changes the taste, not the nicotine.
Which devices does it work with?
All IQOS ILUMA models including the ILUMA i series, plus Lambda i8, i9, and i10. Blade-based IQOS devices are not compatible.
