Raspberry Grape, IGET Bar 3500 Puffs

Grape lolly meets sharp raspberry in a pairing that should not work as well as it does. The grape is the purple, artificial, unmistakably confectionery kind rather than anything you would pick off a vine, and raspberry keeps the sugar honest with a tart, slightly dry finish.

It is a good option for people who have burned out on strawberry and want something in the same red and purple family with a different accent. Evening use suits it, and it stands up to sweet drinks without disappearing.

The IGET Bar 3500 carries it, with a 3,500 puff rating, and the price is $32.

The compromise sits in the grape. Confectionery grape flavours are polarising in every category they appear in, and if artificial grape has ever tasted medicinal to you, that impression will carry over here. There is no cooling to distract from it either.

Worth adding that this is among the sweeter uncooled options, which makes it better suited to short sessions than to being the single device you carry through an entire weekend.

Splitting it with a tart or iced flavour is the usual solution.

Age gate applies. This product is intended for people aged 18 and over.
