Is the New IQOS 3 Easy to Use? Is It Harmful?

I have been using IQOS electronic cigarettes for a long time, and I have had the IQOS 3 for about a month now. A few days ago, I saw a friend who smokes asking how it feels to use it. Today, I happen to have some time, so I will share my thoughts on this electronic cigarette.

1. The material and feel are quite good.

To my surprise, the material of the IQOS 3 is quite different from the two previous models I used, which had a cooler and smoother texture. This time, the product's shell is much softer, leaning towards a frosted material, making it very comfortable to hold.

2. The side opening design is a major highlight.

Although the change in material surprised me, the biggest surprise this electronic cigarette brought me is the "side opening" design of the charging case. The side opening refers to the USB port being moved to the side of the device, allowing the heating of the tobacco stick to be done from the side, and it also incorporates a magnetic design, making the tobacco stick more secure and less likely to fall during heating.

Additionally, due to this design, the side cover of the IQOS 3 can be removed, meaning that smokers can customize their preferred color combinations, which is very user-friendly. Smokers who enjoy novelty will be pleased with this.

3. It has a subtle smoky flavor and a good taste.

The IQOS 3 has not changed much in terms of vapor feel; it still has a subtle smoky flavor, with warm vapor and sufficient strength. The reason I have always used their electronic cigarettes is that I appreciate this aspect; after all, the pleasure of smoking comes from that sensation. If the smoking experience is not strong enough, it simply cannot satisfy.

4. The taste is relatively clean.

The taste is directly related to the issue of tobacco harm. We often say that traditional cigarettes are very harmful because they contain a lot of tar and other harmful substances, which are released during use and inhaled into the lungs or become secondhand smoke for those around, causing significant harm to health. The IQOS 3 has a relatively clean taste, with little to no tar flavor, indicating that its tar content is far lower than that of traditional cigarettes, allowing smokers who are concerned about health risks to breathe a sigh of relief.

5. The battery life is great, and the heating time has been significantly reduced.

As a new product, the IQOS 3 has made significant improvements in battery life and heating time. The battery life has been directly extended by double, and the heating time has been reduced by 40 seconds compared to the previous generation. Although these two points do not directly affect the quality of the smoking experience, they are a great convenience for usage.

So I think the IQOS 3 offers a good user experience. Whether in terms of appearance or deeper usage experience and health risks, it is a highly cost-effective electronic cigarette that smokers can confidently purchase.
