2026-10-1 price revision: list by brand and annual cost difference

Good evening, Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

We recently wrote a review of the IQOS ILUMA PRIME, the first in the IQOS ILUMA series, which is a higher-end version of the IQOS ILUMA,good day (daytime greeting)standard versionof the "IQOS ILUMA(in Japanese history)IQOS ILUMA)"reviewWe will bring you the.

However, the only difference from the higher-end Prime is the design and material of the charger, so this review will be light on the taste, smoking experience, and features.

I mentioned the comparison with the Icos 3 Duo, which some people may be interested in because they have the same design.

If you would like to learn more about the taste, smoking experience, and characteristics of the Irma series, please refer to the article linked below.

Differences between IQOS Irma and Prime

IQOSのLatest ModelsIn one of theIrma Serieswhich is positioned as a regular version of theHeated Tobacco Devicesis.

The only difference from the higher version Prime is the design and material of the charger, and the holder, which is directly related to the taste and smoking experience, is the same.

The difference of 4,000 yen just for a different charger is quite significant... In that sense, the regular version of Irma is a device that allows you to easily experience the latest Icos technology.

Please note that, as you may know, the exclusive cigarettes are not compatible, so Irma can only smoke terriers, and terriers cannot be smoked with the existing Icos series.

A thorough comparison of the differences between IQOS Irma and Prime, including a summary of all the minor differences we've heard about at IQOS stores.

The IQOS3 Duo was a good product, but the Irma series has evolved into a device that goes even further.

IQOS Irma Review

It looks the same as the duo, so it's not as innovative, but again, this design inherited from the IQOS3 is very cool!.

When I went from the 2.4 series to the 3, I loved the design of the charger more than the multi because I loved the design of the charger, although the 3 at that time could not even smoke continuously.

Sure, the prime charger is even cooler, but there is no doubt that the regular version of Irma is good looking enough.

IQOS Irma package and set contents

Although I skimmed over it in the Prime review, the paper that wraps this box is a simplified instruction manual, so please do not tear it open out of the blue.

It is conveniently illustrated with easy-to-understand instructions on how to use it, and it also guides you through product registration..

If you want to know how to use it in more detail, you will have to look at the manuals that come outside! If you just want to use it, the back side of the wrapping paper will suffice.

IQOS Irma Charger

There's nothing to write about the design aspect now, it's like a larger duo.

The distinctive feature is the texture of the body. Conventional models are rather smooth, but Irma's body is rough with a muddy taste..

The Prime charger is said to have an aluminum-coated surface, while the regular version of Irma is made of a plastic-like material.

IQOS Irma holder

Irma's holders are designed to be approximately 9 mm longer than the holders of existing models.

Also, you may have noticed,The cap itself has been eliminated and replaced with a customizable ring..

It could be taken as a forced customization... but I would recommend changing to a different ring, as it was surprisingly good!

Comparison with IQOS Irma's and IQOS3 Duo

The chargers are two devices that look alike, but they vary not only in size but also in taste.

Here is a comparison of the Icos Ilma and a duo of existing devices.

Here are three aspects of the specs, size, and smoking experience.

I'll show you a picture of it side by side with the Icos 3 Duo later,200% compatibility is not available, so I will tell you that much ahead of time!.

If they were the same, we could have used customized parts and so on, but that would not have increased sales! I can just picture the person in charge being pissed off at upper management!

Well, the truth is not certain, but if I had to give a disadvantage of Irma, it would be this one.

Size difference between IQOS Irma and IQOS 3 Duo

As I've written many times before, it's kind of a little bit big...Irma.

If these were the same size, I could have used just the door cover.I am not sorry about the point.

By the way, I wondered if it was possible to just charge the battery. I tried to put the holder of Irma in the charger of Duo, but it was not possible because Irma is just a little bit thicker than Duo....
*Ilma's holder will fit in Duo's holder.andelectrificationschool (e.g. of ikebana)Couldn't do it..

Difference in taste between IQOS Irma and IQOS 3 Duo

# icos ilma # test smoke
Definitely tasty😍it's a little clearer but no longer burnt, and the flavor is almost the same 😉 Irma awesome ‼️ pic.twitter.com/E8bFbPBiaJ

- Genki @heated cigarette blogger (@MOQLOG_JP) August 18, 2021

The taste is almost the same, but it's clearer and doesn't have the burnt feeling characteristic of IQOS..

The kick remains the same, and the draw is a little lighter, but it is still a good smoke.

The smell is greatly reduced, which is also a big difference.

How to dispose of IQOS Irma cigarette butts

In conclusion, the way to dispose of cigarette butts is the same for both IQOS Irma and Duo.

Irma's exclusive "terrier" cigarette sticks have a thin metal plate built into the tobacco leaf, which raises the question of whether they can be disposed of as combustible waste. The question arose, "Can it be disposed of as combustible waste?

We have already checked with the staff at the IQOS store as well as the local government to make sure this is not a problem!.

I don't want to do the work of taking apart the cigarette butts and separating the plates...it's a relief for now.

IQOS Irma Review Summary

There is no difference in specs, only in design, so it's a bit subtle, but the Charger is still really cool..

The customization part is innovative, and I don't think you will lose money by buying it! I don't think you can go wrong with it.

The price has become more reasonable and affordable, so we'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to buy a Prime, but it's worth at least trying the Icos that no longer have the blades, so please consider it.
