All IQOS 3 flavors are no longer sold. The blade type IQOS has finally disappeared completely.

Which IQOS to buy? Ranking of popular IQOS Irma actual sales at convenience stores!

From March 2022Icos Ilma Onewas launched, and from the following AprilIQOS ILUMA, ,primeanddrastic cut in priceand the latest models are now easier to buy at once!.

With this price revision, the Duo is now the same price as the Icos Ilma, and the Multi is now 1,000 yen more expensive than the Icos Ilma One, an inversion of the original price..

Could it be that the end of the Icos 3 series is near? I thought so, and sure enough, that's what I heard.

I heard at the IQOS store about the "IQOS 3 end-of-life" sale.

I was relaxing with a cup of coffee after buying accessories for my Icos Illuma One at the IQOS Store Umeda, when an elderly man came in to have his Icos 3 Duo repaired, and I watched him for a while!

The person is in between repairs,Latest Model Icos Ilmawas recommended to me, but it didn't seem right, so I asked, "Do you have an Icos 3 Duo?" I asked the staff...

The staff member who was handling the situation told me a shocking story..

I just approached another staff member to ask for more details,The nearby IQOS Store Shinsaibashi is also out of stock, and IQOS is in the process of fully transitioning to the latest IQOS Irma model.

No official announcement has been made on the official website yet, but inventory was steadily being adjusted toward the end of the sale.

IQOS 3 series is out of stock at the IQOS online store.

If it's not in the store, check the online store! So I looked for it and found another surprise.

The sales page for each of these products displayed a note that read, "The iCos 3 Duo will be back in stock at the end of May, but in very limited quantities." along with a sentence urging customers to switch to the Icos Ilma.

They're doing everything in their power to get us to move to Icosilma... The countdown to the end of the sale has begun.

4 letters of Discontinued on the IQOS 3 series in the IQOS online store.

One day I was looking through the IQOS online store and saw the four words "End of Sale".

This news is significant because it is the last in the series of devices with blades and has a "tobacco-like flavor" that is different from the bladeless Irma, and many people are still using it without transitioning.

There was no firm announcement on the official website,After a restocking at the end of May, the Icos 3 series has finally been discontinued.

It is a pity, because the long-selling Icos 2.4 series, the drastically redesigned Icos 3 Duo, and the Icos 3 Multi, which enabled continuous smoking, which had been a drawback, were a huge hit and had enough impact to re-ignite the Icos boom, which was almost over.

What about Icos 3 flavors?

IQOS Marlboro Heats end-of-life rush! IQOS stores are selling out and some convenience stores only have 4 types of IQOS Marlboro Heats!

Needless to say, the disappearance of the device means that dedicated cigarettes are also in danger.

Due to the incompatibility of the exclusive flavors of the Icos Ilma and Icos 3,To promote the transition to Irma, Marlboro and Heats, which are exclusive to Icos 3, will no doubt be terminated.

Furthermore, there may not be much time left for a cigarette tax increase in 2022, considering that only Teria and Sentia, the exclusive brands for Aicos Ilma, will remain unchanged, while Marlboro and Heats, the exclusive brands for Duo and Multi, have had their prices raised.

I asked at an IQOS store about IQOS 3 flavors.

We also checked with the staff about the exclusive flavors for the Icos 3, and it appears that the exclusive cigarettes will be available for the foreseeable future!.

ExistingMarlborough, ,heatsThe company has not yet received any notice of the end of sales of the newest model, Irma, and expects to sell it until the transition to the latest model, Irma, is somewhat complete..

Since many IQOS users are still using the IQOS 3 series with blades, the dedicated cigarettes cannot be put on end-of-life yet, as expected.

But now that the device itself has been discontinued, it is obvious that it will eventually be gone... We certainly need to think about which device we will use in the future.

Marlboro phases out Heats flavors

I had thought that the exclusive flavors of the Icos 3 would run out sometime next year, but it looks like the end of sales is approaching at a faster pace than I had expected.

The mainstay flavors are still being sold, but the trend seems to be to end sales little by little, starting with the worst-selling brands like this one.

Since the exclusive flavors of Glow Pro were sold out in a similar manner,It seems that every few months there will be news of an end-of-life sale at Icos.

Marlboro and Heats flavors are largely discontinued.

In January 2023, Icos officials announced that they will be discontinuing even more flavors.

The decision to end the sale of these products will significantly reduce the number of Marlboro products to nine and only three Heats products.

Originally there would have been 23 flavors, 12 Marlboro and 11 Heats, but that's about half.

At this rate, it will be gone next year.

On June 2, 2023, Icos officials announced that even more flavors will be discontinued.

A significant number of flavors were discontinued in January 2023, and three more will be discontinued in July.

My favorite "Smooth Regular" will be discontinued in July, and I will no longer be smoking IQOS with blades, unfortunately.

Notice of Discontinuation of Sales of Blade Type IQOS Exclusive Cigarettes

All Marlboro and Heats flavors to be discontinued.

The number of Icos flavors with blades has been decreasing little by little since October 2022, but it seems that the decision has finally been made to end all Icos flavors.

According to the notice,By January 2024, sales of all blade-type IQOS cigarettes will end as soon as stock runs out.It was announced that they would do so.

This will completely eliminate the device as well as the dedicated cigarettes, so the old Icos will be completely terminated.

In January 2024, all old Icos flavors will be discontinued while supplies last.

This treatment is obvious...Philip Morris has used the cigarette tax increase to promote the transition to Irma.

Since the Icos 3 series has already been discontinued, there is no point in comparing the two,The price of the Icos unit was also priced lower at Irma, and if the dedicated cigarettes are also cheaper at Irma, there is no reason not to make the transition.

It seems like the outer moat is being filled in from the outside,We will be forced to move to Icos Ilma.

Why was the Icos 3 discontinued?

From here, the Icos 3 series,Why end of sale?became? We will explain about.

I think there was an option for British American Tobacco to roll out the conventional slim size Glow Pro and the new thicker size Glow Hyper at the same time, but Philip Morris made a quick decision.

Even though it has only been a year since the Icos Ilma was launched and only a few months since the price revision made it more affordable, what reasons do you have for choosing to end its sale?

Reason for discontinuation (1): Simply because it costs more to manufacture.

This goes without saying,You can imagine that it would be far more efficient to produce only the Icos Ilma series than to continue to manufacture two different series at the same time.

Furthermore, the two series means that we will be producing five different types of devices (Duo, Multi, Irma, Prime, and One), which means that we can focus on producing the remaining devices if we have fewer types of devices.

Not only that, because the same goes for the special cigarette sticks,It means we can cut costs considerably by just focusing on one series..

Reason for discontinuation (2) Sales space issues

I have had such business meetings because I was also a beverage manufacturer, but the tobacco shelves in convenience stores and other places have a fixed limit on which manufacturer can place which and how many types of cigarettes they can offer.

These are called "shelf allocations," and there is a competition for space by the various manufacturers at business meetings that take place once to four times a year.

What I'm trying to say is,As Philip Morris, we have a fixed number of tobacco products that can be placed in convenience stores.For example, if a new flavor is released and you want to put it on the shelves, but the number of products is over the limit, you have to reduce something that is currently on the shelves.

In this case,With the increase in the number of Irma-only Terriers and Sentias, the variety of cigarettes has to be reduced, supposedly to avoid this as much as possible..

Reason for the end of sales (3) Overwhelming confidence in Irma

If there were so many complaints about Irma, we would not be able to make such a decision. That is why the new Irma series is so perfect and we have absolute confidence in our product, which is why we were able to make the decision to end sales of the Icos 3 series so quickly.

That's right,There is no worry about blade breakage, almost no cleaning is required, and the flavor is almost the same, although the draw is lighter.

In addition, if the price is affordable and the specs are high,From the Philip Morris people's point of view, I'm sure they see no reason not to make the transition..

The latest model in the Icos Ilma series is such a highly complete device.

How to Buy the Icos 3 Series

IQOS Irma Coupons, Offers, and Price Drops for the Latest Icos in 2022!

The era has moved on to the Icos Ilma, but there are still those who want to buy the Icos 3 series with blades! We have looked into places other than the official website where you can purchase the blades.

It's also a staple of the resale product, "Rakuten Marketand "Mercury (company name)" but there is a big difference in price and condition, so if you really want one, it's a quicker way to buy one of those!.

However, as is common, please be sure to make a decision based on the risk of not receiving a product warranty (i.e., not being able to have the product replaced in case of initial defects, etc.) because it is not through an authorized channel.

Rakuten Ichiba: Icos3 Series

The Icos 3 series is still available on the Rakuten market.

However, the price is quite high, and it may be that the company sees the fact that the product has been discontinued as an opportunity to charge a premium price.

A quick check shows that the following prices were the lowest.

Icos3 Duo...13,500 yen (including shipping)
Icos3 Multi...9,970 yen (including shipping)

The others were 16,800 yen for the duo and 12,800 yen for the multi, which is double the list price but the lowest price.

The advantage of buying from Rakuten is that it is brand new; however, it is important to remember that it is not a perfect new product, as we do not know how the battery has deteriorated.

Mercari: Icos 3 Series

Mercari, a well-known site for private resale and used sales, did not have any new items, but prices were quite low.

Since it is commonly referred to as "used," it is worth considering if you are OK with changing it at a reasonable price anyway.

The lowest prices on Mercury are as follows.

Icos3 Duo...2,999 yen (including shipping, for 2 units)
Icos3 Multi...1,880 yen (including shipping)
*Both are so battered and sweaty that the paint is peeling off.

A beautiful item can be bought for around 8,000 yen, so I guess you have to weigh the price and condition....

Used ones are definitely draining the battery and cannot be used for a long time.

Nowadays, there are still compatible devices available, so it is possible to find alternatives, but it is a matter of life and death because the device is the only thing that makes the product work.

With sales as high as Nicores, it might be possible to improve the sticks to be Irma-compatible, but it would be hard for other manufacturers who sell non-nicotine sticks.

However, it is not an easy task, as Philip Morris will also be stiffed by patents.

Dedicated tobacco dependent products

The commonly used term "Icos compatible devices" belong to this category.

Although Marlboro and Heats are still on the market now,Icosylma SeriesAs soon as the transition toExclusive cigarettes are no longer available.When that happens, it is certain that theIcos Compatibleswill all be unavailable..

Moreover, with the launch of the well-specified and inexpensive Icos Ilma One, the demand for bladeless Icos compatible devices is infinitesimally low.
