Blackberry Ice, IGET Star L7000

Blackberry is the darkest berry flavour on our shelves and this one leans right into that. The inhale is jammy and faintly winey, carrying the tannic edge real blackberries have when you eat them straight off the bush. Ice arrives on the exhale and cuts through the sweetness, leaving your mouth cold with the berry note hanging behind it. The cooling here is firm rather than gentle.

It suits anyone who has worn out the lighter fruits. Strawberry and watermelon read as bright and summery. Blackberry reads as evening. Plenty of customers keep this as an after dinner device and run something breezier during the day.

At 7,000 puffs the Star is the longest running device in this group, well ahead of the 5,500 puff Hot and more than triple the compact XXL. That gap matters most if you use a device steadily and resent the interruption of running out at the wrong moment.

The price is $49.98. One caution: heavy menthol does not suit everybody, and if cold flavours feel harsh in your throat then a berry without ice will treat you better. Restricted to adults 18 and over.
