Changing charging head

Simple and exquisite design ~IQOS 3.0

These are the two sets of Iqos that I use to review, Iqos3.0 and Iqos3.0Multi.

This article is mainly a review of Iqos 3.0.

Let's start with the outer packaging. It is simple but doesn't feel cheesy, but few people will keep the box, so I won't talk about it here.# p#pagination title #e#

Open the box and you will see the host Iqos3.0.

This time I received gold, but it was Cool and the color was calm.

I can't comment on other colors at the moment because I haven't received the physical ones yet, but I think they are the same as the colors in the pictures I saw, which are cool.

Later, let's talk about accessories. The packaging is a double bottom, and there are cleaning brushes and cleaning sticks under the mainframe.

The next layer is to store USB-C charging cables and chargers.

Although the content of the accessories has not changed so far, the cleaning brush is a new model and the charging cord has been changed to Usb-C.

A Usb-c conversion plug is also added to convert micro Ucb to Usb-c.

Excellent touch and smooth body

We immediately looked at the mainframe.

First of all, the outer layer is textured. Although part of it is plastic, it is very slippery and the whole body is coated with smooth rubber. This rubber is not like 2.4plus, which is smoother than 2.4plus, so it feels particularly good and has a very high-end feeling.

Simple switching structure #p#paging title #e#

There is a switch, which is simple and convenient, and not redundant.

Round and small Led, etc. are used to detect the charging status of the tobacco rod. They flash when charging and turn off when fully charged. The other four square Led lights check the power of the host. As long as you press the switch next to them, it can be displayed clearly and clearly. In addition to displaying the power of the host, this switch can also be used to reset the host by pressing the switch for a long time. It is simple for both purposes with one click.

Charging cable changed to USB-C

The electrical port is on the side and is flushed with Usb-c. Different from the micro Usb, there is no distinction between top and bottom, so you can connect the line more conveniently. Recently, more and more devices are using Usb-c, even Apple's iPad pro. Do you think this change is very ambitious?

Host door cover can be replaced at any time

A magnet-type design has been used for the door. Changing the cover is like changing a phone case. You can change it like, and you can change whatever color you like. It's super cool and super fashionable.

Storage with a side cigarette pole #p#pagination title #e#

In iqos 3.0, in order to avoid the failure of the tobacco rod, we adopted a side-placed design. It bounces open when you push it down, is easy to remove and easy to use. In the old version, the most common failure was that the lid would not close properly. This change not only increases the sense of fashion, but also avoids failures, killing two birds with one stone.

Upgrade of magnet-type all-round tobacco rods

Rod size, slightly shorter than 2.4plus #p #pagination title #e#

In addition to the change in length, the design has also changed. The cover is cut diagonally and the shape of the switch has also changed. This should be the designer's design of the tobacco rod more seamless.

And the tobacco rod is coated with smooth rubber like the mainframe charging compartment. Plastic is not the same texture as 2.4plug. It's easier to hold.

Because the size of the cigarette rod has changed, the 3.0 console is not common to the old version of the cigarette rod.# p#pagination title #e#

In addition to the appearance, I think the heating piece in the tobacco rod has also been upgraded. Compared with the 2.4 heating piece, I feel that the 3.0 feeling has become a little thinner. I hope it will not be easy to break.

The bottom of the pole charging is magnetic

The charging part at the bottom of the rod is a magnet. When placed into the main unit for charging, the magnet will be firmly fixed in the main unit to reduce poor contact at the bottom of the tobacco rod.# p#pagination title #e#

When pulling out the tobacco rod, even if you shake it upside down, it will not cause the tobacco rod to fall out.

The tobacco rods are almost seamless, so they can be stored in any direction. Even if you don't close the lid, as long as the tobacco stick is sucked in the main unit, it will start charging.

Unless you turn the tobacco pipe upside down like in the picture, you won't charge properly.

Heating reminder is stronger

This version will vibrate 3 times in total

After inserting the cigarette cartridge and turning on the power supply, the first reminder is the long vibration and heating begins.# p#pagination title #e#

The second vibration heats the tobacco rod enough to start smoking

The third time is that the heating is about to end and the smoking time is about to end.

The charging time of the tobacco pole is greatly shortened

You can't smoke continuously for iqos 3.0, so every time you smoke a cigarette, the tobacco stick must be placed back in the mainframe to recharge. Officials say that 3.0 has a charging time of 3 minutes and 30 seconds, which is 40 seconds faster than version 2.4.

Host appearance and size comparison 2.4plus #p #paging title #e#

Let's compare the appearance size of 3.0 and 2.4plus. As you can see in the figure, 3.0 is narrower than 2.4, but thicker than 2.4.

In fact, the total weight of 2.4plus is 118 grams, and 3.0 is 128 grams, which is 10 grams heavier than 2.4plus.

General comments, 3.0 has been completely upgraded compared to the old version, and the taste of the cigarette is the same as 2.4plus.
