IQOS 3 DUO vs. ORIGINAL: Which is Better?

Introduction

IQOS devices have taken over the UAE, especially in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, and Abu Dhabi, for offering a new way of smoking. Among the many IQOS options, IQOS 3 DUO and IQOS Originals DUO are the most popular ones. Both are compatible with IQOS Heets (not Terea sticks) if you want to experience the real tobacco taste with a modern touch.

In this post, we will compare these two to help you decide which one is better for you. We will break down the differences in design, performance, battery life, and price and give you an idea of which one is best for you.

Difference between IQOS 3 DUO and IQOS Originals DUO

Both IQOS 3 DUO and IQOS Originals DUO offer a better vaping experience with real tobacco flavor through IQOS Heets sticks. But there are a few things to consider when choosing between these two:

Design and Build:

• IQOS 3 DUO: A slim and compact device with a modern design, the 3 DUO has an upgraded holder and pocket charger that supports two consecutive uses. Perfect for users who want a quick and reliable session without waiting for a recharge.

• IQOS Originals DUO: It’s a facelift of IQOS 3 DUO. Originals DUO has the same form and function but with some new features. It still supports two consecutive uses and works with IQOS Heets, but it has some upgrades that make it more convenient for daily use.

Performance:

• Both devices offer the same performance in terms of two consecutive uses. IQOS 3 DUO supports 2 consecutive uses, up to 14 puffs per HEET; IQOS Originals DUO supports 3 consecutive uses, so it’s a bit more convenient for heavy users.

Device Specifications

Here are the specs of both devices to help you understand the difference.

• What’s Included in the Kit:

  • Device, Manual, USB Cable, USB Adaptor, Cleaning Brush, Cleaning Sticks, Safety Instructions, Warranty Card

Battery Life and Charging Times

The IQOS Originals DUO has a slight edge here. Both can do multiple uses in one go, but the IQOS Originals DUO can do 3 HEETS in one go. If you often need that 3rd use in one go, the Originals DUO might be better for you.

Charging time is 1 hour 22 minutes for the IQOS 3 DUO and 1 hour 30 minutes for the Originals DUO and pocket charger. So if speed is your priority, the IQOS 3 DUO might be better for you.

This information is collected from our real IQOS users, but some websites say the 3 Duo and Original Duo take the same time to fully charge (120 minutes).

Which One Is Best For You?

• Price:
  The IQOS Original DUO is cheaper. If you’re on a budget and don’t need that 3rd, the original DUO might be for you. The IQOS 3 DUO is slightly more expensive because of the 3rd use.

• Convenience:
  The IQOS Originals DUO is for those who want a longer session and don’t want to recharge after 2 uses. 3 uses means you can have more puffs without interruption.

• Style and Design:
  Both are sleek and compact, but the IQOS Originals DUO has a more refined design. Both are stylish, but the Originals DUO is for those who like finer details.
