New IQOS 3.0 Review: Differences from IQOS 2.4
The IQOS3.0 review that many people have been longing for has finally arrived. Just recently, IQOS launched two new heating non-combustion products. One is the side-push split machine: IQOS3.0, and the other is brand new. “You can use the integrated product continuously: IQOS3.0MULTI!
What we are going to review today is the fourth-generation IQOS 3.0.
What changes have been made to IQOS3.0 after this upgrade? Is it worth starting?
Hurry and take a look with Xiaobian!
packaging
This time, iqos3.0 is available in four colors. In addition to the classic carbon black and white, it also adds very luxurious champagne and royal blue. I have to say that all four colors are deeply loved by Xiaobian, but the cute Xiaobian still chose white that conforms to the theme of hoarfrost flooring for this evaluation.
3.0 The box packaging is simpler than 2.4. The overall design is closer to the feel of the Apple series. I wonder if the internal structure is the same?
configured
Remove the hat on it and prepare to open the box. I was very excited to open the lid, and two little cute were lying in the groove, really like snow, and they didn't want to reach out to destroy the white color.
Open this layer and below it is a bottle with a box of alcohol swabs and cleaning balls.
Pick up the cleaning product, the charger is on the bottom.# p#pagination title #e#
I'm still curious why I didn't see the instructions? A closer inspection revealed that the manual was originally located on the inside of the lid. The use of space is very reasonable. It is not messy, but it is also regarded as making every effort.
Opening the instructions, I found that it was all in Japanese. Although there are pictures, some of the content is still difficult to understand.
But it doesn't matter, who let you meet a small editor, this evaluation will give you an easy-to-understand and very comprehensive operation process!# p#pagination title #e#
device
At the beginning of evaluation, the 3.0 heating rod is more rounded than the 2.4. There is no 2.4 metal ring. The accessories are also very neat. The overall feeling is very strong. The body is slightly shorter than the 2.4. It also looks relatively slender. Coupled with the improvement in workmanship, I feel more advanced.

Heating is still designed in sheet form. I don't know why there are no upgrades here. Everyone knows that IQOS has always been criticized for being that the heating plate is particularly easy to break.
The charging contact part at the bottom of the heating rod also absorbs lessons from past failures. The magnetic design is carried out inside the charging box and at the bottom of the heating rod. The heating rod is firmly sucked in during charging, which prevents problems such as poor contact.

The biggest change in the charging box is the opening method, which changes from an upper opening cover to a side opening. The overall size is slightly smaller than version 2.4.
There is only one switch button in the entire box, and there is no additional design. Press half of the box and the upper part will open. This way, the opened box is more convenient to operate with one hand, and it also looks quite cool.

Although 3.0 is slightly higher than the weight of 2.4, 3.0 feels smoother and looks high-end in texture.
Put in the heating rod and feel the magnetic attraction design mentioned above. Even if you shake it hard or even turn the charging box upside down, it will not fall out. It's very considerate, and you no longer have to worry about the heating rod falling out when the box is accidentally opened. It broke.
Put in the heating rod and feel the above magnetic design. Even if you shake it hard, even if the charging box is inverted, it will not fall out. Very exquisite, when the box is accidentally opened, you no longer have to worry about the heating rod falling out.# p#pagination title #e#
The cover on the side of the charging box is similar to a magnetic design and is detachable. For those who like DIY in different colors, they can purchase side covers in different colors for installation. The top cover of the heating rod can also be replaced!
test draw
First open the charging box, and then press and hold the key for about four seconds. The battery light will rise from one cell to four cells, and then the number of remaining cells will be displayed. When the small indicator light next to it lights up, the startup is complete.# p#pagination title #e#
The charging box shows that four compartments are fully charged, three compartments are 75%, two compartments are 50%, and one compartment is 25%.
If the small light flashes, it means that you need to recharge.
Insert the heating rod into the charging box, and the indicator light on the top of the charging box will light up and slowly flash during charging. The charging time is about 1 minute and 20 seconds, and the indicator light is off, indicating that charging is complete. The official reminder for charging time is 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I was surprised by two minutes faster!# p#pagination title #e#
2.4 The heating time of the plate heating rod is about 1 minute and 40 seconds. In terms of waiting time, the difference is not very big, much shorter than the official statement.
#p#Pagination Title #e#
After inserting the cigarette cartridge, pressing the key for a long time felt the heating rod vibrate and the indicator light flashing, which means that heating is being carried out.
After about 20 seconds, it will vibrate again and the indicator light will light up, indicating that the heating has been completed and you can start using it.
2.4 The heating time of the version is also about 21 seconds, but there is no vibration prompt, and 3.0 wins again.# p#pagination title #e#
When using it, I don't think the taste has changed much. I smoked about 12 times based on my normal smoking frequency and habits. The amount of smoke was very large at first and gradually decreased as the number of mouthfuls increased.
About a minute and a half later, the heating rod vibrated again and the indicator light began to flash.# p#pagination title #e#
After continuing to smoke two or three more puffs, the light went out, so that the entire cigarette bomb was exhausted.
During the whole use process, the time performance of version 3.0 and version 2.4 is not much different, about 1 minute and a half, but the number of uses is slightly different in the first measurement, the number of uses of 3.0 is 16 and the number of uses of 2.4 is about 11.
In order to test the true number of times, Xiaobian repeatedly tested versions 3.0 and 2.4 several times. Judging from the final average results, the use process is basically completed in 2 minutes, and the number of mouthfuls and the amount of smoke are basically the same. This place has not changed much.
To remove the cartridge, you need to first push the lid of the heating rod up and then pull the cartridge up. You can't pull out the cigarette bomb directly, as there will be tobacco residue inside.# p#pagination title #e#
cleaning
Cleaning is very simple, first remove the cleaning tools you need to use!
This time the cleaning ball has become more refined, from fat to slender, and a strap has been added, so it is easier to open, and the 2.4 is very slippery and very troublesome. At the same time, there is also a small box containing 10 packs of alcohol swabs.

Let's start the following operation. The first step must be paid attention to. Just after completing use, the temperature must be reduced first. Keep this in mind. Remove the outer cover of the heating rod and shake it first to shake out the floating residue inside.
Open the cleaning ball again and you will see rubber fan blades on one side. Insert it into the heater and start rotating. Although the rubber is soft, it should be lighter and residual impurities should be slowly cleaned. Just shake it again at this time.
Finally, remove the alcohol swab and wipe the inside again. Be sure to wipe every corner. Gently wipe the heating plate to avoid damaging it. Remember to wipe the inner cover of the heating rod with an alcohol cotton swab.
Even if the cleaning is completed, is it still quite simple?
In addition, the rubber of the cleaning ball is still relatively easy to clean and can be washed with water, which is simpler than the cleaning operation of 2.4!# p#pagination title #e#
cruising
We only talked about charging the heating rod before, but now let's take a look at the charging box.
The interface of the charger is changed to a Type-C interface. The biggest advantage of this interface is that when charging, the insertion direction is no longer restricted, and the interface will no longer damage the interface due to the wrong insertion direction.
When the charging box is exhausted, the small dot next to the indicator light will flash.
Connect the charging cord to the charging port at the lower end of the charging box. At the same time as charging begins, the battery power of the indicator light will slowly increase, growing one by one. After about an hour or so, the indicator light went out and charging was completed.
Xiaobian is in a fully charged state, smoked a box (20 cigarettes) of cigarettes, and there are still three bars of electricity left! This kind of battery life shocked Xiaobian!
summary
Overall, the latest version of IQOS 3.0 still has many advantages.
The overall packaging is simple and atmospheric, and the internal space and orderly arrangement are rationally utilized to greatly improve the overall temperament.
The appearance of the device has become more beautiful, the materials have been changed to make it more comfortable to feel, and the magnetic design makes it safer and easier to use.
The interface of the charger has changed, the cleaning process has been simplified, and the cleaning ball has been adjusted... You can feel the details of the design carefully.
In addition, the time for the charging box to charge the heating rod and the time for heating the cigarette cartridge is shortened, but the taste remains unchanged.# p#pagination title #e#
These improvements are all excellent and make smokers very happy.
A small suggestion, because the interface of the charger is changed to a Type-C interface, the charging interface on the charging box is larger than before, making it easier to get in dust. It would be better if a dust cap was added, but a dust cap was added. It is also possible to change the overall style.
The price of this device is different from the price of different colors. The purchase price of this white is 1000 yuan. At that time, the price of champagne color was the highest, exceeding 1200 yuan.# p#pagination title #e#
Although the price is a bit expensive, it is worth the improvements. IQOS3.0 is a product worth buying.
