IQOS lil SOLID Ez vs lil SOLID 2.0: Which One Fits Your Routine

This guide lines up the IQOS lil SOLID Ez vs lil SOLID 2.0 on weight, heating, battery life and HEETS compatibility, based on the stock TEREA 365 handles across the UAE. You will come away knowing which device suits your pocket, your grip and your daily habits, plus the honest trade-offs between them.

Which Device Wins on Size, Weight and Colour?

If portability is the deciding factor, the lil SOLID Ez comes out ahead. It weighs 78.9g against the lil SOLID 2.0's 98.8g, and the body itself is more compact, so it sits in a pocket or small bag with noticeably less bulk than the older model.

Most of the comparison questions we get from customers start with exactly this point: how different do the two actually feel in the hand? The Ez ships in a glossy finish across five colours, while the 2.0 keeps a matte finish in two. That said, matte is not automatically a downgrade — several regulars tell us they prefer the 2.0's plainer shell because it does not pick up fingerprints the way the glossy Ez case can.

The extra weight on the 2.0 is not necessarily a drawback either. Some users find a heavier device feels more planted and less likely to slip during a session, particularly if it mostly stays in a bag or on a desk rather than a pocket. The Ez trades that heft for pocketability, which matters more if you are carrying it around all day.

• lil SOLID Ez colours: Black, Blue, Mint, Rose Gold, White
• lil SOLID 2.0 colours: Cosmic Blue, Stone Grey

Does the lil SOLID Ez's Heating Feel Different From the 2.0?

Both devices use pin-heating: a metal pin enters the tobacco stick and heats it from the inside rather than burning it, and that basic principle is the same across the whole lil SOLID line. Where they diverge is the Ez's newer resistive heating mechanism, which a number of our customers describe as a steadier draw session to session compared with the 2.0's standard pin.

The difference is not dramatic. You are getting a slightly more refined version of the same experience, not a new one, and how noticeable it is will depend on which HEETS flavour you are smoking and how sensitive you are to small changes in heat consistency. Customers who run several sessions back to back through the day are usually the ones who mention the gap first; if you only use one or two sessions occasionally, it is harder to pick up on.

How Many Sessions Do You Get Per Charge?

On paper, battery life is identical. Both the lil SOLID Ez and 2.0 are rated for up to 25 sessions per full charge, and both charge over USB-C.

If you are choosing between the two based on how often you will need to charge, or how many back-to-back sessions you can get through in one sitting, this is one area where the decision genuinely does not matter — plan your routine the same way regardless of which model you pick. Twenty-five sessions is the manufacturer's figure for both devices, so treat it as a like-for-like number rather than an edge for either one.

• Up to 25 sessions per full charge on both devices
• USB-C charging, roughly 90 to 120 minutes from empty
• Up to 3 consecutive sessions before either device needs to cool down

Is Either Device Complicated to Use Day to Day?

Neither device asks much of you. There are no settings and no menus to learn: insert a tobacco stick, press the single button, and a vibration plus an LED light tell you when the device is ready and when the session is ending.

That single-button layout is particularly handy if you are moving from cigarettes, or from a more complicated device, and do not want to learn a new set of menus. Both the Ez and the 2.0 are built for that kind of straightforward, no-fuss daily use. If you have used any lil SOLID device before, both models will feel instantly familiar — the button, the vibration cue and the LED indicator work the same way on each.

What Tobacco Sticks and Flavours Work With Each Device?

Both the lil SOLID Ez and 2.0 are designed to be used with HEETS and Fiit tobacco sticks, not TEREA. The stick itself is identical between the two devices, so any flavour difference you notice comes down to the heating pin, not the tobacco.

TEREA 365 keeps a rotating range of HEETS flavours in stock for the lil SOLID lineup. Four that come up most often with customers running either device:

Whether the Ez's updated pin makes a given flavour taste noticeably better is genuinely a matter of personal taste rather than a spec difference — some customers moving from the 2.0 mention a cleaner draw on lighter sticks like Sun Pearl, but that is a subjective call every time.

Which of the four is on hand at any given moment depends on how quickly stock moves. HEETS deliveries into the UAE are frequent, but a specific flavour can sell out and take a day or two to restock, so it helps to have a second choice in mind when you place an order rather than setting your heart on one.

• HEETS Silver Selection
• HEETS Summer Breeze
• HEETS Sun Pearl

What's in the Box and How Do You Keep It Clean?

Both devices ship with the same basics: the device itself, a USB-C charging cable, a cleaning tool and a printed user manual, worth holding onto if you ever need a quick refresher instead of searching for a digital copy.

Cleaning takes about 90 seconds. Press the button five times quickly, within two seconds, and the status light flashes orange while the automatic cleaning cycle runs. When it finishes, the light turns off and you will feel two short vibrations. Neither device has a replaceable heating pin, so running this cycle regularly with the included tool is what keeps the draw consistent over time. Do not try to open the casing to clean beyond what the tool covers — that is more likely to damage the fixed pin than improve anything, and a damaged pin cannot be swapped out on either model.

Which Device Holds Up Better Over Time?

The lil SOLID 2.0 has the track record. It has been in daily use for longer and has a reputation for holding up without much fuss. The Ez is newer, so there is not the same length of long-term feedback yet, though early impressions from customers have been positive, and the lighter build has not translated into a device that feels flimsy in hand. If proven longevity matters more to you than being on the newer model, that is a fair reason to stay with the 2.0.

In practice, this shows up as fewer complaints reaching us about a 2.0 giving out after months of regular use, mainly because more of them have simply been in circulation for longer. That is not a guarantee the Ez will end up with the same reputation, and it is not a reason to assume it will not — it is genuinely too early to say, so anyone buying today is making that particular call on limited history rather than years of feedback.

So Which One Should You Order From TEREA 365?

If you want the lighter, more compact device with more colour choice and a marginally smoother draw, the lil SOLID Ez is the better pick. If you already run a lil SOLID 2.0 and it is doing its job, there is no functional reason tied to battery life, ease of use or stick compatibility to switch — the case for upgrading comes down to weight and looks, not performance.

There is no single right answer here — it depends on what you weigh more heavily: a lighter device with more colour options and a marginally smoother draw, or a longer track record in daily use. Buyers replacing a lost or worn-out 2.0 often stick with what they already know, while first-time buyers with no history to protect tend to lean toward the Ez.

TEREA 365 delivers both devices and HEETS sticks across the UAE: 1 to 2 hours in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, and within 24 hours elsewhere in the country.
