Vape Flavours Guide
Choosing a flavour is one of the most personal parts of selecting a vape product.
Different people naturally prefer different flavour profiles. Some enjoy a fresh and cooling taste, while others prefer a more traditional tobacco-style profile. Our Vape Flavours Guide is designed to help you understand common flavour descriptions and make it easier to explore products according to your own preferences.
Understanding Vape Flavours
Vape flavours are generally described using names that indicate the taste or overall flavour profile of the product.
You may come across descriptions such as:
The exact taste can vary between products and manufacturers, so the product description and packaging are the best sources for the specific product.
Mint Flavour
Mint is associated with the fresh, herbal character of mint.
Mint flavours can have a clean and refreshing profile and are commonly associated with products designed around a fresh taste.
If you prefer a flavour that is fresh without necessarily having the stronger cooling character associated with menthol, mint may be the profile you want to explore.
Menthol Flavour
Menthol is associated with a distinctive cooling and fresh character.
Menthol flavours are often chosen by people who prefer a noticeable cooling sensation alongside the flavour.
The strength and character of menthol can differ between products, so checking the individual product description is useful when comparing options.
Tobacco Flavour
Tobacco or classic tobacco flavours are designed around the traditional flavour profile associated with tobacco.
This can be an option for customers who prefer a more familiar, traditional taste rather than a mint or menthol profile.
Different manufacturers can create different interpretations of a tobacco-style flavour, so the exact product description is worth checking.
Cooling and "Ice" Descriptions
You may see words such as Ice, Cool or Cooling used in product names.
These terms are generally used to communicate a cooling-style flavour or sensation.
However, product names can differ between manufacturers. If you are looking at a specific product such as ICE ADJUST, check the individual product information to understand exactly what the manufacturer says about its flavour and features.
How to Choose a Flavour
There is no single flavour that everyone will prefer.
When exploring different products, think about the type of flavour you normally enjoy.
Prefer something fresh?
Look at mint or menthol profiles.
Prefer a cooling character?
A menthol or cooling-style product may be the type of flavour you are looking for.
Prefer a traditional profile?
Consider products described as tobacco or classic tobacco.
Not sure what to choose?
Start by looking at the product description and compare the available flavour information before making your own choice.
Flavour and Product Design
Flavour is only one part of a product.
You may also want to compare:
Product design
Device size
Battery information
Pod format
Capacity
Airflow
Display features
Nicotine information
Manufacturer information
For example, two products may offer a similar flavour profile while having completely different designs or features.
That's why it can be useful to look at the complete product information, rather than choosing based on flavour alone.

How to Read a Flavour Description
When looking at a product page, pay attention to the exact words used to describe the flavour.
For example:
Mint
A fresh, herbal mint profile.
Menthol
A distinct cooling and fresh profile.
Tobacco / Classic
A traditional tobacco-style profile.
Ice / Cooling
A description indicating a cooling character; check the individual product information for the exact formulation.
Flavour names are useful for comparing products, but they should not be treated as a complete description of the product's ingredients.
Can Different Brands Have the Same Flavour?
Yes, different manufacturers can use the same general flavour description while producing products with different formulations.
For example, two products labelled as "mint" do not necessarily contain identical ingredients or produce exactly the same flavour experience.
The TGA specifically notes that different flavoured vapes should not automatically be considered interchangeable simply because they use the same flavour name.
Find a Flavour That Suits You
The best way to choose a flavour is to consider your own preferences.
You may already know that you prefer:
Fresh and herbal → Mint
Cooling and fresh → Menthol
Traditional → Tobacco / Classic
From there, you can compare the individual products and look at their other specifications.
There is no need to choose a product simply because someone else prefers it. Explore the available options and choose according to your own preferences.

Australian Flavour Information
For customers in Australia, it is important to distinguish general flavour terminology from the flavours permitted for therapeutic vaping products under the current Australian regulatory framework.
The TGA's current product standards restrict therapeutic vaping substances to mint, menthol or tobacco flavours, with specific requirements applying to flavouring agents.
The TGA also maintains a current notified-vape list showing therapeutic vaping goods that can legally be supplied through the applicable Australian pathways.
Product availability and applicable requirements can change, so customers should refer to current product information and Australian requirements.
