IQOS Lil Solid Ez in Dubai and the UAE

How the Lil Solid Ez performs

The Lil Solid Ez is a heat-not-burn device built around a 2600mAh battery and a 25-second preheat, so there is little standing around before the first draw. At 5.5g and 104 x 30 x 17mm it sits flat in a jacket pocket or a small bag without adding bulk, and the aluminium alloy body has enough weight to feel solid without turning heavy.

There is no display screen, which some buyers read as a downside and others as the point: fewer menus, one button, nothing to configure before you start. A full charge takes around 120 minutes and is rated for roughly 25 uses before it needs the cable again, so most people charge it once and do not think about it again until the evening.

Handling it feels closer to a small torch than a gadget. The aluminium shell keeps the same matte finish across all seven colours, and the single button is the only control on the device, so there is nothing to misconfigure by accident partway through the week.

• Battery: 2600mAh, rated for up to 25 uses per full charge
• Preheat time: 25 seconds
• Charge time: around 120 minutes for a full charge
• Weight and size: 5.5g, 104 x 30 x 17mm
• Body: aluminium alloy, no display screen

Who the Lil Solid Ez suits

This device tends to suit two kinds of buyer: people moving off cigarettes who want something simple rather than a unit with settings to learn, and existing IQOS Heets users who want a second, no-frills device as a backup or spare. Because there is no screen to navigate, it also works for anyone who finds newer touch-based devices fiddly.

It comes in seven colours, so it is not purely a function-first buy. Anyone choosing on looks alongside performance has a reasonable spread to pick from, from the plain finish of white to the two blue tones.

At the current reduced price it also reads as a lower-commitment way to try the Lil Solid line before deciding whether a newer device is worth the extra spend later on.

• Colour options: White, Rose Gold, Mint, Black, Blue, Stone Grey, Cosmic Blue

Lil Solid Ez next to the other IQOS options

Shoppers researching the Lil Solid Ez often have the Lil Solid 2.0 open in another tab, since the two sit in the same device family and get compared on spec sheets. If you are deciding between them, the practical question is less about which is the newer model and more about which fits your budget and how much the latest generation matters to you versus a simpler, established one.

The other comparison worth making is with IQOS ILUMA. ILUMA devices are built for TEREA sticks, while the Lil Solid Ez takes IQOS Heets. That is a stick-compatibility difference rather than a quality one, but it matters in practice: buy this device and you are committing to Heets, not TEREA. Neither comparison is really about one device being built better than the other; it comes down to which stick you already use and how much you want to spend now versus later.

Setting it up with IQOS Heets

Getting started is straightforward. Charge the device fully before first use, insert a Heets stick, and hold the button until it signals that preheating has started; the 25-second cycle means you are rarely waiting long. Draw as you normally would, and once the session ends, eject the used stick and let the heating element cool before loading the next one.

Because there is no screen, you learn to read the light and vibration cues rather than a battery percentage. It is a small adjustment for anyone coming from a device with a display, but most people stop noticing it after a day or two.

• Charge fully before the first use
• Insert one Heets stick fully into the heating blade
• Hold the button until the preheat cycle starts
• Wait for the 25-second preheat to finish before drawing
• Eject the used stick and let the device cool before reloading

One trade-off worth knowing

The honest trade-off here is charging speed and feedback. A full charge takes around two hours, which is slower than some newer fast-charging devices, and without a screen you do not get a precise battery percentage, only a light or vibration cue. If you want rapid top-ups and a readable battery gauge, this is not the device for that. If you are fine charging it overnight or during a break and reading simple cues instead, it will not bother you.
