Is it necessary to replace the Icos Ilma Eye(i)? I'll "slash and dice" it based on my actual experience with it.

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

Recently, Icos announced the long-awaited new product, "Icos Ilma Eyehas been released, have you bought it yet?

Because I write these blogs, I had no choice but not to buy it, but should some of you buy it? I know some of you are wondering.

So, after using and looking at the Aicos Ilma Eye that I actually bought, what has changed and whether I should buy it or not? I would like to explain the following.

What is IQOS ILUMA i

First of all, what kind of product is the new Icos Ilma Eye? Let me introduce you to the following,It refers to a product with new features in existing Icosilmers.

It is mainly a renewal of the part related to the heating system,No major changes to the Charger..

I will discuss the functionality later,It's like when the IQOS3 became the IQOS3 Duo, but mostly the point is that the separate model IQOS Irma i and Prime holders have evolved.

Each of the added features is then briefly described.

Thoughts on the new features added to the IQOS Irma Eye series

touchscreen

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME IQOS ILUMA i
It is now operated by swiping up and down on the LCD rather than by button operation.

pause mode

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME IQOS ILUMA i
The user can now pause while smoking.

flex puff

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME IQOS ILUMA i IQOS ILUMA i ONE
If there is extra time available for smoking, an additional 4 puffs can now be made.

auto start

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME IQOS ILUMA i IQOS ILUMA i ONE
Heating is now initiated by simply inserting a cigarette stick.

Flex battery

IQOS ILUMA i PRIME IQOS ILUMA i
If the pause mode is not used, a maximum of three consecutive lines can now be used.

I personally don't care about the touch screen, but I am curious about the pause mode, flex puff and flex battery.

After experiencing these new features,Score each feature with "5 stars if you buy it" or "1 star if you don't need it".Please refer to the following information.

IQOS Irma Eye New Feature: Touch Screen Impressions

When there is an autostart, there is no way to activate it with the touch screen, and considering the risk of malfunctioning the pause mode, etc., wouldn't it have been better to use the button operation? I thought it would have been better to use button operation.

Just,I rated it 2 stars because I thought it would be good to have some idea of the remaining smoking time....

In other words, buy it because it is a touch screen! This means that you can't say "I'm buying it because it's a touchscreen!

IQOS Irma Eye New Feature: Impressions of Pause Mode

I think this is a useful feature for people like me who do something while smoking. For those who find that their smoking time is over and they have wasted one cigarette......it seems that if used well, it will allow them to smoke without wasting any more time.

However, the taste smoked after the pause was released tasted slightly degraded, and the power was turned off if not operated after 8 minutes had elapsed, resulting in a rating of 4 stars.

People who forget they were smoking are also people who forget they were pausing, so while this is a useful feature, I found it difficult to use.

IQOS Irma Eye New Feature: Flex Puff Impressions

I was actually really excited about this feature, "Flex Puff," but there is a reason why I gave it a one-star rating.

The flex puff, when it works, is supposed to add 4 puffs to the maximum of 14 puffs for one session and allow you to smoke 18 puffs, but it never worked, even after 10 puffs.

Icos OfficialAccording to the explanation of the "Mere Old Man," the function is controlled by the system and does not work every time, and the activation conditions are also unknown. I wondered if such an indeterminate function was necessary.

IQOS Irma Eye New Feature: Impressions on Auto-Start

Auto Start was only available on the existing Irma series, the IQOS Irma and Prime, but it is finally available on the IQOS Irma i One.

This is another unstable feature, but it is intuitive and useful, so the fact that this was included in the standard model One is highly commended at 4.5 stars.

IQOS Irma i and IQOS Irma i Prime are originally equipped with this feature, so there are no additions or subtractions.

IQOS Irma Eye New Feature: Impressions of the Flex Battery

The flex battery function is the basis for the maximum of three continuous uses that is decisively stated on the Icos Illuma Eye.

When not using the pause mode, it is now possible to smoke three cigarettes on a single holder charge, whereas previously only two cigarettes could be smoked on a single charge! This is called

However, the operation is unstable, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and there were times when it worked even after using pause mode, so we can't really rely on it. In that sense, we gave it a rating of 3.5.

IQOS Irma Eye Price and Design

Since the evaluation of the new features has been described above, let's move on to the next question: is it a good buy in terms of price and design? No or no? I would like to think about it.

Color and other factors may have something to do with it, so we examined it from three perspectives: color, price, and design.

Evaluation of IQOS Irma Eye color variations

model	color
IQOS Irma i Prime	Breeze Blue midnight black
IQOS Irma i	Breeze Blue Vivid Terracotta digital violet midnight black
IQOS Irma i One	Breeze Blue Vivid Terracotta digital violet midnight black

Frankly, if there is a color you want in this list, you can buy it, but it is not a limited edition color, so there is no need to buy it.

However, considering the fact that all of the colors are not available in the existing Irma and the fact that existing Irma accessories can be used, we have given it a 4 star rating.

Evaluation of IQOS Irma Eye price

model	color
IQOS Irma i Prime	9,980 yen
IQOS Irma i	6,980 yen
IQOS Irma i One	3,980 yen

It's nice to know that you can get the same price for the new features and revamped colors.

In terms of price, we gave it an unqualified rating of 5 stars.

Evaluation of the IQOS Irma Eye design

As for the IQOS Irma i One, nothing has changed in appearance, and the same goes for the IQOS Irma i / Prime charger.

The only holder that has changed is that the buttons are now screens for swiping, so this is not a new model that you would purchase with the expectation of a new design.

Is the IQOS Irma Eye a good buy? Evaluation Summary

We have summarized each evaluation based on actual purchase and use.

new feature touchscreen	(2 / 5.0)
new feature pause mode	(4 / 5.0)
new feature flex puff	(1 / 5.0)
new feature auto start	(4.5 / 5.0)
new feature Flex battery	(3.5 / 5.0)
Color variation	(4 / 5.0)
Price	(5 / 5.0)
design	(3 / 5.0)

Each indicator is rated on a 5-point scale, so using a buy as a perfect score of 40, the IQOS Irma Eye scored 27.

So how do we determine these 27 points? I mean,As for me, if my current IQOS Irma breaks, why don't I just buy a new one...The conclusion is, "Why bother to buy a device when you can still use it? I might say, "I don't need it, do I? I might say, "I don't need it.

Icos these days don't break easily and the battery life is much better, so they can be used for a year for sure.

Thanks to you, we have 8 icos ilma in our house that have not been opened yet... I'm sure...If I wasn't blogging, I wouldn't have bought IQOS Irma Eye yet.I think so.

Stiff reasons why I can't recommend IQOS Irma Eye at all costs.

I don't recommend it because it doesn't have an AC adapter! (The IQOS ILUMA i no longer comes with an AC adapter. (The IQOS ILUMA i no longer comes with an AC adapter.)

I'm not recommending it at all already, so it's too late now, but I'll also show you why I, a lover of new features, don't recommend the IQOS Irma Eye in the slightest, and why I don't recommend it.

It's not too late to buy or not buy, read on from here!We hope that you will read this article.

Reason for not recommending: unstable operation of new features

As you can see from the fact that the design of this latest model has not changed, the main feature is the improved usability and specs through new features.

But unfortunately, the new features don't work reliably, so if you buy it expecting that, you're likely to be disappointed.

Can smoke up to 18 puffs."Might be."Flex puff, up to 3 puffs"Might be."Flex battery.

I wonder how it is written as if it is natural to use an indeterminate function that may or may not be available. I wonder about it. The following is the extreme example.

Reason #2 for not recommending it: Most of the important new features are not covered by the warranty.

This has been a problem with previous Aicos Ilma, in that the key new feature is not covered by the warranty.

Even if you buy a product because you are attracted by the new features, but you can't use it, they won't replace it or otherwise deal with the problem, assuming that there is no problem with the basic performance.

The IQOS Irma Eye is only covered by warranty for the touch screen and pause mode.

IQOS Irma i One is honestly hard to recommend since both of the new features are not covered by the coverage.

What people are saying about IQOS Irma Eye

What the heck, I expected it to be the same, but it's not.# icos ilma eye pic.twitter.com/7HSduO7Ch6

The name "Aicos Irma Eye" doesn't fit the existing product. The conventional 6 minutes or 14 smokes are over, but if you stop halfway and extend the time up to 8 minutes or not extend it, you may be able to smoke 18 smokes. pic.twitter.com/LcF5NKuWsu

I was able to buy it normally at the store.
Summary of the first day of the launch of the Icos Irma Eye, except.
There will always be lines and web errors on the first day, but you can buy if you persist. The leaked green one has not yet been released. The One group is unrelated, but not much has changed from the existing machines except for the addition of a pause function. Flex Puff is a feature that increases the amount of time you can smoke.# icos ilma eye pic.twitter.com/vNSyTpoiPC

The evaluation of the new features is honestly a hoot.

I still think that the lack of change in appearance and the fuzzy (ambiguous) behavior of the new features are the reasons for the lack of excitement.

Others wanted it because of the pretty color! but this is not the opinion of the person who bought the new model, so it is not posted.

Is the IQOS Irma Eye a good buy?

Now, to summarize with a general review, I think that the following people are ready to buy immediately.

For the rest of us, I honestly don't know if we need to buy now.

I am sure that in a little while, many claims will be made and improvements will be made, so I feel that the timing is right for us to fully enjoy the new features.

Early models alone are highly satisfactory, but they are also risky because of the high probability of initial defects and problems.

So, as a mocroog, you don't have to force yourself to buy it right now, right? That is the answer to this article.

We did not publish a review this time because it would have been too long, but we will write a review soon, and we hope you will take a look at it to pass the time.

See you then.
