I picked up the Lilka Solid 3.0 about three weeks ago.

Scallops (factory defect)I've been smoking cigarettes for 10 years, and I decided to switch to e-cigs because I'd been waking up with a cough for the past two months (I smoke a pack a day at work, and it's been getting worse).

It's super sticky and the coating scratches easilyAfter a particularly rough night, I woke up with a nasty cough and decided to head to the tobacco shop to grab an e-cig (I've been smoking since I was 21, and I never had any issues).

A new way to completely clean the needle and wallsI was surprised to find that they didn't have any e-cigs.

Cleaning after 10 sticks.They had three different models of the Lilka.

I chose the Solid 3.0 because it's easy to disassemble and clean.

As for the pros, I can only say one thing: after three weeks of using the Lilka, I've started to feel nauseous from the tobacco smell and taste (I've become more sensitive to tobacco smells). Within three days, I slept through the night for the first time in two months, and my cough disappeared! Is that a miracle, or did the amount of tobacco I'm inhaling decrease significantly? Either way, I've been sleeping well ever since, and I no longer have a cough.

I'm hoping I won't go back to smoking cigarettes; I've cut down from 1.5 packs a day to 12 sticks a day, and that's a huge plus!

I didn't find any other pros.

The cons, which I love

1.

The first 3-4 puffs of each stick give you some decent smoke, but after that, it's like the smoke just disappears (I've tried all the sticks and flavors). The Hitwise ones are okay, but the Flitwise ones are a total joke – they're like the Belarusian 'dushman' cigarettes from the corner store.

2.

The device's coating is terrible – it scratches easily and leaves marks (I don't care about the marks, it's just a glossy finish).

I carry it carefully in a separate pocket of my jacket, away from my keys, phone, and other stuff.

It was a bummer when I opened the packaging and found two minor scratches on the bottom of the device (I didn't bother going back to the store because it's a 30-minute bus ride, and I didn't feel like wasting my time). It's not a big deal, though – the device still works.

3.

The sticks don't stick well to the device; you have to hold your finger on it to keep it in place, and sometimes it gets stuck to your lips and falls off. I've lost 2-3 sticks to the trash already.

4.

All the sticks are super fragile, and they break easily from any impact. I've had the Buddha attachment snap off my jacket zipper, the brim of my hat, or just when I've put it neatly in my pocket. It's a real pain 😅

5.

The battery life is pretty meager, holding a charge for around 16-18 sticks on turbo mode.

On standard mode, it's a total joke – you can barely taste the flavor or get any decent vapor, but it'll last you about 20 sticks from a full charge.

6. I encountered a glitch with the needle after three weeks, but I managed to find the problem and fix it!

I was working on the roof of my house, fixing some flexible tiles, and decided to take a break and have a smoke.

Out of nowhere, the device just stopped working, and the indicator light was on. I was like, 'What's going on?' 🤷‍♂️

I then thought, 'Hey, maybe I should clean the needle with the filter from the stick!' Since I was 12 meters up, I didn't want to climb down again just to get a cleaning tool, so I just used the filter.

And guess what? The needle and the walls around it were spotless! That's the best way to clean the needle, hands down. The filter was all black, and the needle was in a pretty bad state. The standard cleaning tool only scrapes off some of the remaining tobacco residue, but that's it! I'll send some more photos from work.

I replaced the stick, and the device was working like new again, with all the flavors and vapor coming back. (I was worried that the cleaning process might leave some lingering taste, but the needle was spotless, and there was no weird taste left.)

Developers of the AIO, why not just stick a metal sponge in the mouthpiece to clean the needle? Because your cleaning tool is basically useless 🎩.

7.

The cherry on top.

THIS IS THE ENDLESS SPAM FROM AIO ON MY MOBILE PHONE!

When I bought the device, they asked me for my phone number, telling me it was for warranty purposes, so I could get it repaired within a year. They just tried to sell me some extra stuff, but I felt bad saying no to the salesperson, so I gave them my number. Big mistake.

Despite asking them to stop calling me, they just keep calling and calling! I'll be dealing with them about this.

Would I recommend this device to anyone? No way! A standard AIO with a mouthpiece is way better, and it doesn't have any of these issues! This thing is a total lemon 👒, and I'm wasting my money, but I do love the experimentation process.)

In conclusion, I'm writing this review from work, so there might be some typos, but don't be too harsh.)

I've tried to keep the review as short and straightforward as possible.

This is my honest opinion, based on my three-week experience with this device, and I'm sharing my thoughts with you.

I'm just a regular guy from the factory, a regular smoker, and this review is genuine. I had a good laugh while writing it.

I hope my review is helpful! Good luck, everyone.)

Editor's Summary

I gotta say, I was really looking forward to trying out the Lilka Solid 3.0, but it's been a total disappointment. The sticky coating and easily scratched surface are a major turnoff. I've been smoking e-cigs for a while now, and I expect a lot more from a product. Unfortunately, this one doesn't deliver.
