EVO and LYO sticks for Ploom

Last updated 7 October 2026

EVO sticks work with all Ploom devices, while LYO sticks are tobacco-free nicotine sticks made for Ploom AURA only. Both ranges cost EUR 65 per carton in this catalogue, but they are aimed at different preferences: EVO contains real tobacco and has no capsules, while every LYO stick contains a capsule and uses processed plant or cellulose fibre carrying nicotine instead of tobacco.

Ploom heats sticks from the outside at a lower temperature than IQOS or glo. That produces a softer draw, less smell in the room and gentler nicotine delivery. It can suit people who do not want a strong, forceful session. Heavy smokers may find Ploom too mild, so the device and stick choice depends on how much intensity you expect.

What is the difference between EVO and LYO?

The main difference is the material inside the stick. EVO contains real tobacco. LYO is tobacco-free and uses processed plant or cellulose fibre carrying nicotine. Tobacco-free does not mean nicotine-free: LYO contains nicotine, which is addictive.

EVO has no capsule and is available for all Ploom devices: Ploom AURA, Ploom X Advanced and Ploom X. LYO has a capsule in every stick and is compatible with Ploom AURA only. LYO should not be treated as a universal Ploom option just because it is made for the Ploom platform.

The current catalogue contains 13 EVO products and four LYO products. Both ranges are listed at EUR 65 per carton. You can browse the complete EVO range or the separate LYO range before choosing.

Neither range is a cessation aid, and neither should be described as safe, healthy or harmless. These products are for adults 18+ only. This product is not risk free and contains nicotine, which is addictive.

How does Ploom's lower-temperature heating feel?

Ploom heats the stick from the outside at a lower temperature than IQOS or glo. The practical result described in the brief is a softer draw, noticeably less smell in the room and gentler nicotine delivery. That makes Ploom a particular type of heated-tobacco system rather than simply another device that uses the same kind of session.

The trade-off is intensity. If you expect a strong, forceful draw or a heavy nicotine hit, Ploom may feel too mild. The brief specifically notes that heavy smokers sometimes find it too mild. This is the central decision point: Ploom suits a gentler style of use, but it may not meet the expectations of someone looking for a more concentrated session.

The outside-heating design also means Ploom sticks are shaped for its own chamber. Stick formats are not interchangeable between Ploom, IQOS and glo. A Ploom stick is not an alternative refill for an ILUMA, glo Hilo or glo HYPER device.

Which EVO stick should you choose?

EVO is the straightforward choice if you want real tobacco, no capsule and compatibility across the Ploom range. The stocked colours cover lighter, classic, bold, cooling and fruit-led profiles. Not every product has a full flavour note in the supplied catalogue, so the descriptions below use only the verified information available.

EVO colour	Verified profile	Capsule	Works with
Amber	Heated tobacco	No	All Ploom devices
Aquamarine	Heated tobacco with cooling score 2	No	All Ploom devices
Azure	Smooth tobacco with clear mint and menthol notes	No	All Ploom devices
Bronze	The boldest of the classic EVO tobaccos	No	All Ploom devices
Burgundy	Smooth tobacco with a ripe berry-fruit note	No	All Ploom devices
Gold	Heated tobacco	No	All Ploom devices
Green	Classic tobacco with cooling menthol	No	All Ploom devices
Marine	Intense menthol coolness	No	All Ploom devices
Silver	Light, mellow tobacco	No	All Ploom devices
Tan	Heated tobacco	No	All Ploom devices
Teal	Cool tobacco with a gentle menthol edge	No	All Ploom devices
Velvet	Delicate tobacco with creamy notes and a light hint of vanilla	No	All Ploom devices
Yellow	Light tobacco with a bright, subtle character	No	All Ploom devices

The strongest verified tobacco description is EVO Bronze. EVO Silver is described as light and mellow, while Azure, Green, Marine and Teal are the clearest options if cooling matters. Burgundy and Velvet add the listed fruit or creamy notes without a capsule.

What flavours are in the LYO range?

LYO is the tobacco-free option for Ploom AURA. Each stick contains a capsule, and the four stocked profiles are built around mint, berry, apple and pear notes. The capsule is part of every LYO stick, so this is not a range for someone specifically looking for a capsule-free format.

LYO product	Verified profile	Cooling score	Compatibility
LYO Arctic Mint	Crisp, intense ice-cold mint	5	Ploom AURA only
LYO Wild Berry	Cool menthol with ripe wild-berry flavour	3	Ploom AURA only
LYO Winter Apple	Crisp apple with a gentle cool finish	2	Ploom AURA only
LYO Zesty Pear	Juicy, sweet pear with a bright, zesty lift	1	Ploom AURA only

Arctic Mint is the most cooling LYO option in the supplied range, while Zesty Pear has the lowest cooling score. Wild Berry and Winter Apple sit between them. These are flavour descriptions, not health claims. LYO still contains nicotine despite being tobacco-free.

For device-specific information about the AURA and its heating approach, read the Ploom AURA Guide: Low-Temperature Heated Tobacco.

Will EVO or LYO fit my Ploom device?

EVO works with every Ploom device listed in the brief: Ploom AURA, Ploom X Advanced and Ploom X. LYO works with Ploom AURA only. That makes EVO the only option if you have a Ploom X or Ploom X Advanced, while LYO is limited to the newer AURA platform.

Stick line	Tobacco content	Compatible devices	Capsule
EVO	Real tobacco	Ploom AURA, Ploom X Advanced and Ploom X	No
LYO	Tobacco-free, contains nicotine	Ploom AURA only	Yes, every stick

Do not use these sticks in IQOS or glo devices. IQOS stick formats do not fit glo, Ploom or lil, and the reverse is also true. The full Which Sticks Fit Which Device: Full Compatibility Chart explains the wider format differences.

There is also no reason to buy EVO for a device outside the Ploom family. EVO is not listed as compatible with IQOS, glo or lil. The same applies to LYO, with the additional restriction that it is for Ploom AURA only.

How many sticks are in a pack and what does a carton cost?

EVO is listed as 20 sticks per pack and EUR 65 per carton. A carton contains 10 packs, or 200 sticks. The supplied product notes explicitly confirm this for EVO Green, EVO Marine and EVO Velvet, and the EVO line facts specify 20 sticks per pack for all Ploom devices.

LYO is also listed at EUR 65 per carton. The verified brief does not specify a pack count for LYO, so this guide does not infer one. Check the product listing for the exact pack information before ordering.

Range	Carton price	Pack information verified here	Device coverage
EVO	EUR 65	20 sticks per pack; 10 packs and 200 sticks per carton	All Ploom devices
LYO	EUR 65	Pack count not specified in the supplied brief	Ploom AURA only

The 20-stick EVO pack is not universal across every heated-stick product in the wider catalogue. Pack formats differ between product lines, so compare the stated contents rather than assuming that every carton has the same number of sticks.

Are any EVO colours no longer available?

The supplied stock information does not identify any EVO colour as no longer available. It lists 13 EVO products: Amber, Aquamarine, Azure, Bronze, Burgundy, Gold, Green, Marine, Silver, Tan, Teal, Velvet and Yellow. Because no discontinued-colour list is provided, this guide does not label any of those products as unavailable.

Availability can change independently of the range information. Green, Marine and Velvet have product notes confirming 200 sticks per carton for Ploom devices, but those notes do not state that the colours are discontinued or permanently available.

For a current purchasing decision, use the live EVO category and the individual product listing. If a colour is absent there, do not substitute a different stick format or assume it will fit another brand’s device.

Who is Ploom best suited to?

Ploom is best suited to an adult who wants a softer draw, less smell in the room and gentler nicotine delivery than the alternatives described in the brief. EVO is the logical starting point for someone who wants real tobacco and one stick range that works with AURA, X Advanced and X. LYO is more specific: it suits an AURA owner who wants tobacco-free nicotine sticks with a capsule in every stick and fruit, mint or cooling profiles.

Ploom may not be worth choosing for a heavy smoker who expects a stronger session. The lower-temperature, outside-heating approach can feel too mild for that use case. It is also the wrong choice if you need one stick type to move between Ploom, IQOS and glo devices, because formats are not interchangeable.

Remember that both ranges contain nicotine, and LYO’s tobacco-free description does not change that. Heated-tobacco and nicotine products are not risk-free or cessation products. They are intended for adults 18+ only.

This product is not risk free and contains nicotine, which is addictive. For adults 18+ only.
