Cola Ice, IGET Bar 3500 Puffs

Cola flavours are hard to get right and this one lands on the lolly side rather than the soft drink side, which is probably the wiser choice. You get the caramel and spice base you expect, a suggestion of citrus oil around the edges, and then a cold finish that mimics the sensation of a drink poured over crushed ice.

It is a novelty in the best sense. Nobody vapes cola all day, but as a change of pace from fruit it is genuinely satisfying, particularly in the afternoon.

Hardware is the IGET Bar 3500 with a 3,500 puff rating, and it is priced at $32.

Manage your expectations. No cola recipe in any brand tastes exactly like the drink, and the missing carbonation is the reason. If you buy this hoping for a perfect match you will be disappointed, and the spice notes tire the palate faster than plain fruit does.

It works well as the second device in a pair for that reason. A few minutes of cola resets your palate completely before you return to whichever fruit you were on.

Treat it as punctuation rather than as the whole sentence and you will get more out of it.

You have to be 18 or above to buy this device.
