Where Can You Buy Genuine IQOS 3.0 in China? The Ultimate IQOS 3.0 Review

Where can you buy genuine IQOS 3.0 in China? Due to IQOS being classified as a new type of tobacco, many platforms are hesitant to sell it. Therefore, there are currently very few channels available to purchase IQOS 3.0. In recent years, the rise of the e-cigarette industry and the popularity of heated tobacco have made us realize how things have changed.

IQOS 3.0 was launched simultaneously in Japan and South Korea on November 15, 2018, and is officially described as a "revolutionary" product, which it truly is. Just as the meaning of IQOS suggests, I quit original smoking, indicating a desire to move away from traditional smoking methods.

Heated tobacco has changed our smoking habits from traditional combustible tobacco to now heated tobacco. This reminds me of Apple's innovation under Steve Jobs, which transformed the way we use mobile phones. One button replaced all buttons, changing our experience of browsing the internet on mobile devices. Yes, heated tobacco could potentially become mainstream. Who knows? It's always good to have dreams.

Let's first take a look at the unboxing images of the 3.0.

The white device is entirely white. Some readers have asked how to distinguish colors; it's simple, just look at the color of the cap on top to identify the color, which is easy to differentiate.

Upon opening the package, I was pleasantly surprised; the white device looks very elegant. Additionally, compared to the previous generation, this generation's appearance has a strong sense of technology, such as the gradient indicator light and the side-push lid. A friend jokingly said it looks like a stapler, haha.

Looking further inside, I found thoughtful details; like the 2.4, it still comes with cleaning tools, including a cleaning brush and cleaning cotton swabs. It's recommended to clean after every pack.

Let's take a closer look at the heating stick; like the 2.4, it still uses a sheet heating element. Additionally, I remind everyone to use the special cotton swabs for cleaning, as using regular ones can easily damage the device. Also, clean at an angle to prevent alcohol from flowing back onto the device's mainboard.

Further down, you'll find the charging cable and charging head. Here’s a little trivia: the device comes in two versions, one for Japan and one for Korea. The only difference is the charging head. So, if you receive a different charging head, don't mistakenly think you've bought a counterfeit.

Now, let's talk about the features of the new generation IQOS.

1. IQOS 3.0 uses a type-C interface, while 2.4 uses a micro USB interface; the type-C interface has better compatibility. The downside is that the port is larger, which may attract more dust, so you might want to buy a dust plug.

2. The appearance is more technologically advanced and rounded, with an overall narrower width.

3. The red light issue with the heating stick has been a common problem with 2.4, but 3.0 has improved this issue.

4. The charging time for the heating stick has been reduced by 40 seconds, and the taste is better.

That's all for today. Thank you for reading.
