What’s the Difference Between the Latest IQOS 3.0 and IQOS 2.4?

In November last year, four generations of IQOS were released, but iQOS3.0 implemented a policy restricting one person to purchase, so it would cost 1- 200 yuan more in China than in Japan. So after comparing a series of plans between me and my childhood school, I decided to buy it together in the last month of 2018 for the Chinese New Year or I can bring it back to make it up.

Before sharing it, I still need to say that this article is only dedicated to iQOS players who are using iQOS or preparing to replace it. As for those who are not addicted to tobacco, they still say that smoking is harmful to your health, and even e-cigarettes may be addictive!

The 4th generation iQOS has two models

The two e-cigarettes released in the fourth generation are iQOS3.0 and iQOS3.0MULTI. At that time, people in China had a simple understanding of the following differences between iQOS3.0 and MULTI. The former is similar to the third generation and equipped with a charging case for the cigarette rod to go out for battery life. The latter is similar to the lil type and can be used by directly inserting the cigarette egg into the heat. After consulting Junxin, the customer service staff only briefly talked about the difference between the two.

The 4th generation iQOS 3.0 has been expanded, upgraded and slightly changed through the appearance and use of previous generations, and durability and performance have also been improved.

The fourth-generation iQOS3.0MULTI is the first portable all-in-one machine that iQOS attempts to design. In fact, integrated e-cigarettes are not the first in China, but because they are produced by iQOS, they smell so fragrant? So this time I will test both versions.

iQOS3.0

After a brief conversation about the differences between the two, let's talk about the specific changes in the new generation of iQOS one by one. Let's first talk about iQOS 3.0, the flagship product of iQOS. This time, in addition to the standard appearance (black, white, and blue), iQOS3.0 also adds gold, which also gives players who like to buy iPhone gold with corresponding capital.

The iQOS3.0 I purchased is in royal blue. Although gold is the main color of this era, I really don't have any interest in local gold, so I still buy the royal blue that the previous three generations have never forgotten.

Compared to previous generations, the design size of this generation is more reasonable. Half of the players who use iQOS are girls, so I think that's why iQOS is considering reducing the width. The overall height of the 4th generation machine has not changed much, but the width has been reduced by about 4/1. When I hold the 4th generation machine, I can clearly feel more comfortable than the 3rd generation.

It turns out that the warning lights and buttons on the side of the old model have completely disappeared on the new version of 3.0, leaving only a charging port. Of course, they are not missing, but they are just simplified. Only the power button is left, while the power button and indicator lights of 3.0 have been moved to the top by the designers. It is undeniable that this change has made me feel new. The new iQOS has a more futuristic sense.

The most worthy thing to talk about is the way the iQOS charging case opens. I also insisted on replacing the third-generation machine because I saw the 4th generation side-open design. The side-open function not only makes it more elegant to use, but also has relatively long durability. The button switches and hardware of iQOS2.4 have always been very fragile, so I am personally very satisfied with this change.

This time, the heating rod has also undergone great changes. Its size has become slimmer and its overall length is shorter than the old tobacco rod. The styling design has indeed been improved a lot. The heating button has a tilted shape, and the cigarette holder iQOS slogan has also changed from printed to engraved. Wiping the iQOS logo with your fingers gives a particularly high-end feeling!

In addition to these changes, the heating rod has also become more convenient from a fixed charging mode. Since the fourth-generation heating rods have undergone major changes, they do not need to align the buttons when storing them like the old models.

In addition, when the heating rod is placed into the charging box, you can also find that the bottom of the heating rod and the bottom of the charging box have magnetic functions. When the heating rod is gently placed into the charging box, a click can be heard. This is a magnetic attraction effect. This kind of human design prevents the possibility of the heating rod falling out or charging misplaced.# p#pagination title #e#

iQOS3.0MULTI

After chatting about iQOS3.0, we will then talk about MULTI. To be honest, this mini convenient version of the fourth generation doesn't have much to talk about. I don't want to express that it is bad, but it's just that it is relatively simple in appearance and function, so I said this sentence. Of course, iQOS3.0 has talked so much, and this MULTI3.0 also provides a simple chat for everyone.

If you like convenience and smoke less frequently, this one is highly recommended. It is only the width of two tobacco rods and can be easily placed in your pocket or held in your hand.# p#pagination title #e#

The heating port of the equipment has a protective cover. This considerate design allows users to put MULTI in their pockets to prevent dust or foreign matter from being brought into the heating port, preventing the device from failing due to foreign matter during use. When using, push the protective cover aside to the right and insert the cigarette cartridge. After using, push up the heating port and take out the cigarette cartridge.

Just take it out and release it with your hand, and the heating cover with magnetic function will automatically close and the protective cover will be restored. At this time, you only need to gently press the buckle to fix the tobacco rod. As described above, these cumbersome steps are as complicated as it is, but in fact, it takes only 0.1 seconds to restore it.

The appearance and shape of MULTI will be similar to that of a cigarette rod in iQOS3.0, and the use of buttons will also be consistent with that of iQOS3.0. Perhaps designers think this design will give users a familiar experience when they get MULTI. In the end, I think the appearance of MULTI is only average and not amazing to me.

Endurance and effectiveness

We have roughly talked about the specific functions. Let's share here whether this generation of 3.0 and MULTI has improved and improved in terms of battery life and usage compared to the previous generation.

In terms of overall battery life, 3.0 has improved compared to the previous generation 2.4P, but it is not very satisfactory. The charging time of the IQOS 3.0 heating stick has been shortened from 4 minutes to about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The heating time of the heating sheet has been increased from the original 180 seconds to 200 seconds. Overall, the heating effect will be more uniform and the taste will be similar, except that you can take two more bites.

The iQOS3.0 takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge it once, and about 30 batteries can be pumped out when the power runs out. MULTI is fully charged for about 1 hour, and can pump about 10-13 tubes when it is not charged. Of course, you can also choose to use the fast charging data cable. I have always used the fast charging data cable and plug myself, because the original charger does charge a bit slowly, and the charging speed of the configured fast charger can be increased by about 40% and will not cause damage to the machine. This is my personal experiment, and I refuse to be corrupt.

A few last words

Again, if you don't smoke, don't try it easily. Use iQOS not because you are handsome, but because people like us choose iQOS e-cigarettes that are less harmful to the body in order to quit our annoying addiction. Instead of real cigarettes and help quit smoking. Okay, that's all for now. See you in the comment section.
