For beginners, choosing a first vape flavour can feel like an endless maze. Options like mango, mint, cola, custard, and strawberry ice abound, each claiming to be “the best.” The key? Your perfect flavour depends on your own preferences rather than trends. Here’s a practical guide to navigating it.
What really decides how a vape flavour tastes?
Flavour isn’t just about the label. Three core factors make the biggest difference: PG/VG ratio, nicotine strength, and the device itself.
PG and VG — the base that carries flavour
PG (propylene glycol) delivers sharp taste and a noticeable throat hit, whereas VG (vegetable glycerin) produces thicker clouds with a smoother draw. Beginners often do best with a 50:50 mix. Many RandM Vapes disposables use this balance to provide flavour clarity without harshness.
Nicotine level and taste intensity
Stronger nicotine can mute delicate notes, like fruits or vanilla. Mid-strength levels (3–6 mg) allow flavours to shine. Fruity options such as Mango Ice or Blueberry Ice from GhostPro Vapes are best experienced at these moderate strengths.
Device power and coil type
The type of vape device significantly impacts taste. Lower-wattage pods are milder, while higher-power kits highlight complex flavour layers. JNR Vapes designs compact disposables that still deliver robust taste, perfect for those switching from smoking.
Which flavour categories should you start with?
Focus on beginner-friendly profiles first. Certain categories are easier to enjoy without overwhelming your palate.
Fruits and tropical blends
Sweet, juicy flavours like mango, strawberry, and watermelon are a safe starting point. RandM’s Fruit Series or JNR’s Strawberry Ice Cream offer a smooth, enjoyable balance of sweetness.
Desserts and creamy profiles
Dessert flavours like vanilla custard, caramel, or donut can be tempting. Lighter mixes, like JNR’s Mango Cream or Vanilla Latte, give the dessert feel without being too heavy or cloying.
Menthol and icy blends
Menthol provides a refreshing counterpoint to sweetness. Options like GhostPro’s Mint Blast or RandM’s Cool Grape Ice give a crisp, cooling effect that refreshes your taste buds.
Tobacco or nutty flavours
Ex-smokers may prefer mild tobacco, caramel, or nutty blends. RandM’s Classic Tobacco delivers warmth with smoother taste than traditional cigarettes.
Beverage-inspired blends
Coffee, cola, or cocktail flavours can be surprisingly approachable. JNR’s Coffee Crush and GhostPro’s Cola Fizz cater to those who enjoy richer, layered notes.
How to test flavours without wasting money
Avoid buying large bottles or multi-packs immediately.
Sample before committing
Try small devices from multiple brands—a fruity RandM, a menthol GhostPro, and a dessert JNR. You’ll quickly understand what works for you without overspending.
Judge all three stages
First, smell the flavour. Then, take a few puffs and pay attention to the inhale, exhale, and aftertaste. Some flavours impress at first but leave unpleasant notes later. Keep those that remain enjoyable.
Track what you liked
Recording your preferred profiles creates a personal flavour guide that’s more reliable than online reviews.
When it’s not the flavour’s fault
If everything seems dull, your device may be underpowered or the coil burnt. Series like RandM Tornado or JNR Turbo 10000 Puff provide consistent flavour output. Small adjustments—like opening airflow or recharging—can revive taste remarkably.
What’s flavour fatigue and how to beat it?
Even top favourites get tiring if used nonstop—this is called flavour fatigue.
How to tackle it: Rotate flavours. Use fruit in the morning, menthol in the evening, or tobacco midweek. Keep a clean flavour, like GhostPro’s Mint Chill, on hand to refresh your palate. Regular rotation keeps vaping enjoyable and your taste buds sharp.
How to choose based on your real-world tastes
Look at what you already enjoy:
- Coffee fan? JNR’s Coffee Latte or Mocha Ice works well.
- Mango lover? Try RandM’s Mango Ice.
- Enjoy icy drinks or gum? GhostPro’s Spearmint Ice fits naturally.
Vaping just mirrors your existing taste preferences.

Picking the right vape flavour isn’t guesswork. It’s about testing smartly, starting with familiar flavours, and rotating before boredom sets in. Explore fruit, dessert, and menthol blends to find what clicks.
