Spearmint, IGET Halo Pod 3000 Puffs

Cool without the sting, spearmint sits at the gentle end of the mint spectrum. This pod delivers a rounded, faintly sweet herb note and a light chill that clears the palate rather than numbing it.

It is a replacement pod, so no device is included. Once fitted to a Halo it runs to roughly 3,000 puffs, after which the pod is discarded and the battery unit carries on with the next one.

When people reach for it

• After meals, when fruit flavours taste wrong
• As a palate reset between two sweeter pods
• Any time a heavy ice flavour would be too much

The pod costs $19.90. Its weakness is the flip side of its strength: anyone wanting a genuine cold hit will find spearmint too polite, and there is no way to dial the cooling up. It sits as the mild option in the range rather than a stand in for hard menthol.

Purchase limited to those aged 18 or above.
