Strawberry Ice, IGET HOT 5500 Puffs

Strawberry on its own is harder to get right than any blend, because there is nothing else to hide behind. This version leans ripe rather than green: sweet and jammy on the inhale, closer to conserve than to a fresh punnet, with the candied edge most vape strawberries carry. Ice on the exhale stops it settling too thickly and adds a clean finish that resets things between draws.

It is a default flavour for good reason. Almost everybody has an opinion about strawberry and most of those opinions are favourable, which makes it a low risk order.

The Hot runs to 5,500 puffs at $46.90. Against the 1,800 puff XXL that is a substantially longer haul, and against the 7,000 puff Star it is a slightly cheaper way to get a device that still lasts a good while.

What to be aware of: single fruit flavours turn monotonous faster than blends do, because there is no second note to notice on a different day. Anyone who bores easily should look at strawberry kiwi or strawberry watermelon instead. Restricted to buyers aged 18 or older.
