Hey guys - I was fortunate enough to receive this unit a little bit ahead of schedule. I will not be able to actually test the unit until this weekend. In the meantime, here are some pictures I took of the packaging and unit that may help you see the differences between the Imag 3 and Imag+.
First Impressions:
- According to the instructions, the unit should not be charged and used at the same time. I know there was some uncertainty about this with the previous Imag+, here it is explicitly stated in the back of the box.
- You can fill the heating oven with herb directly or with a preloaded iBullet.
- To power the unit, you must hold it for three seconds, differs from the Imag+ three time push. I welcome this change as it's much easier to accidentally tap the power button three times than holding it (It's happened to me.)
- The unit is about 2-3mm longer than the Imag+ and the same diameter.
- The unit is lighter than the Imag+.
- While charging, the bottom indicator still lights up and the LCD screen shows a charging indicator.
- You can set adjustable temperatures anywhere between 385F to 430F (185C-230C).

That's all for now, i'll post pictures of the LCD later, and whatever else you guys request. As mentioned before, I won't be able to test the unit until the weekend. Season's greetings to you all.
