Strawberry Watermelon Hard Candy, IGET Bar 3500 Puffs

Think of the boiled lollies at the bottom of a corner shop jar and you have the idea. This is not fresh fruit, and it does not pretend to be. Strawberry hits first with a hard, glassy sweetness, watermelon follows on the exhale with that particular pink lolly flavour that tastes nothing like real melon and is all the better for it.

It is a nostalgia flavour more than a sophisticated one, which makes it a good pick for social settings and long drives where you want something instantly recognisable.

Device and price: IGET Bar 3500, rated 3,500 puffs, $32.

Real talk about sweetness. Candy profiles are the most fatiguing category there is, and plenty of people love this for an hour and then want something plainer. If you vape heavily throughout the day, keep a fruit or ice option alongside it rather than relying on this as your only flavour.

Something else worth saying about candy recipes: they tend to be what people buy for someone else, because the flavour is easy to describe and hard to get badly wrong for a first time buyer.

The sweetness is front loaded too, so the first few draws of a fresh device are noticeably more intense than the middle of its life.

This item is off limits to anyone under the age of 18.
