- Both systems are tobacco heating systems and heat tobacco from inside. However, they use different heating technologies:
- lil™ SOLID 2.0 uses induction heating with a pin.
- IQOS 3 DUO™ and earlier IQOS generations use resistive heating with a blade - Heat Control technology.
- With both technologies you can enjoy the taste of the real tobacco without fire, smoke and ash.
- Whether you choose lil™ SOLID 2.0 or IQOS™, they are both smoke-free products and a better choice than continued smoking. They both are not risk free and provide nicotine which is addictive.
-
Can I use HEETS sticks with lil SOLID device, and Fiit sticks in IQOS device?
- Technically it is possible, because the dimensions of Fiit sticks and HEETS sticks are the same. However, they are different tobacco heating systems. IQOS is specifically designed to be used with HEETS while lil SOLID 2.0 is designed to be used with Fiit and therefore for best performance we recommend that they are used this way.
- They are different tobacco heating systems, for best performance we recommend that they are used as designed and as explained in their respective user guides and safety warnings & instructions - IQOS with HEETS and lil SOLID 2.0 with Fiit sticks.
- However, what we do know is that using HEETS with lil SOLID 2.0 or Fiit with IQOS, even if not recommended by the manufacturers, is a better choice than continuing to smoke cigarettes. If you mix the systems we cannot guarantee the product performance. Both, IQOS and lil SOLID, are not risk-free and both provide nicotine which is addictive.

Is using IQOS safe or risk-free?
While switching completely to IQOS presents less risk to your health, IQOS is not risk-free and delivers nicotine, which is addictive. The best option is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether. However, switching completely to IQOS is a better choice than continuing to smoke.
-
Is nicotine harmful?
Nicotine is addictive. However, it is not the main cause of smoking related diseases. IQOS delivers nicotine in a comparable way to cigarettes. Our clinical studies show that the amount and rate of nicotine absorbed when using one tobacco stick with IQOS is comparable to that of smoking one cigarette.
-
How do you measure IQOS emissions, which you claim are reduced on average by 95% compared to the smoke of a 3R4F cigarette?
We state that IQOS emits on average 90-95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes. The percentage (90-95%) refers to the average reduction of the levels of certain constituents prioritized for action by renowned public health organizations such as the WHO and the US FDA, and which are found in IQOS tobacco vapor, when compared to the smoke from a 3R4F reference cigarette. The exact percentage reduction depends on the specific list being referenced. To this effect, we collect the tobacco vapor and smoke under the Health Canada Intense machine-smoking regime (55 mL puff volume, 2 second puff duration, 30 second interval puff) using a comparison on a per stick basis. Reduction calculations exclude nicotine.
-
What is the totality of evidence you refer to when claiming that switching to IQOS presents less risk than continued smoking?
The totality of evidence includes PMI’s clinical data (we conducted 10 clinical studies with thousands of participants in the US, UK, Japan and Poland), aerosol chemistry, and data from 18 nonclinical studies. The totality of evidence demonstrates that switching completely to IQOS, while not risk-free, presents less risk of harm compared with continuing to smoke cigarettes.
-
How do you measure the number of IQOS users?
We use PMI Financials or estimates, IQOS user panels and PMI Market Research. The number of total users we report refers to IQOS users for whom PMI HeatSticks represent at least 5% of their daily tobacco consumption over the past 7 days, while the number of people we estimate have completely quit cigarette smoking refers to IQOS users who have completely quit cigarettes and for whom PMI HeatSticks represent at least 70% of their past 7-day heated tobacco consumption.
-
What is this 3R4F cigarette you refer to?
It is a cigarette independently designed by the University of Kentucky in the US for scientific research purposes. It is a comparator commonly used in tobacco research, which allows the data of a given study to be compared to that of another study. 3R4F research cigarettes are not commercially available to consumers.
-
Why should I upgrade the firmware of my IQOS?
The latest IQOS firmware improves the stability of IQOS electronics for a better performance over time.
We want to ensure you always get the best heated tobacco experience. Like other electronic devices, IQOS regularly provides firmware update to support your experience.
For example, the latest firmware upgrade for IQOS 3 DUO will extend the battery lifespan of the holder.
