Trio has three named adjustment controls, with three listed levels each, plus Turbo. Sour uses sour, icy and sweet controls; Sweet uses NIC, icy and sweet, with no sour dial. Check the edition before ordering.
Trio versions have different control sets. Sour has sour, icy and sweet controls; Sweet has NIC, icy and sweet controls. Choose the named edition for the adjustments you want.
The two editions, and why “Sour” means two things
The Sour edition label is a catalogue grouping, while its sour control is a device feature. The label alone does not establish that every liquid in that group has an acidified formulation.
The Sour edition includes blue-razz, mixed-berry, strawberry-kiwi and other fruit-style profiles. Choose the named flavour and adjust the supported controls to your preference.
The Sweet edition has NIC, icy and sweet controls; Sour has sour, icy and sweet controls. Both editions are filled with liquid labelled 50mg/ml. Changing a device control does not change that labelled concentration.
Three letters hiding a tobacco
VCT stands for Vanilla Custard Tobacco, a tobacco-and-dessert-style profile in the Sweet edition.
VCT stands for Vanilla Custard Tobacco. Choose this listing if you want a tobacco-led profile with vanilla and custard notes, rather than one of the range’s fruit flavours.
Choosing the Trio edition
The Trio has a 1000mAh rechargeable battery, USB Type-C charging and a Turbo control. Its dimensions are 106.3 × 28.2 × 51.2mm. The liquid is labelled 50mg/ml, and the advertised puff rating is up to 40,000. Follow the carton’s instructions to use the device within 15 days of opening.
Choose the exact Trio edition for the controls you want: Sour adjusts sour, icy and sweet; Sweet adjusts NIC, icy and sweet. Follow the selected edition’s operating and charging instructions.
Trio has a smart screen with a puff counter. Use the supplied controls and instructions for the exact selected edition.
Familiar names, and four that are almost right
Thirteen of the twenty titles here already exist on some other ELFBAR product in this catalogue. The exact duplicates are the safe ones. It is the four near-misses that cause trouble, because each looks enough like a spelling error to be dismissed as one.
Peach Mango Watermelon on the Sour edition against Mango Peach Watermelon elsewhere: same three fruits, first two swapped. Strawberry Kiwi against Strawberry Kiwi Ice: one word apart, and on the other product the cold is genuine. Mix Berry here, Mix Berry on ELFBAR Ice King Pro 40000, Mixed Berry on ELFBAR Ice King 30000, three listings, two spellings. And Pineapple Passion Fruit Guava against Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, where swapping the leading fruit changes the character of the whole blend.
Seven titles have no counterpart anywhere else in the ELFBAR line-up here, and those turn out to be the most straightforward pages on the shelf to read.
Setting the dials
Use only the supported settings for the exact edition and follow its instructions. Dial suggestions are optional flavour preferences, not measured stability, damage or nicotine-delivery results.
The icy control is present on both editions. A flavour name or adjustable cooling does not establish a measured room-temperature effect, ingredient absence or stability result.
Product and variant overview
Twenty flavours split into two editions of ten, Sour and Sweet, reproducing ELFBAR’s own listing exactly. Every unit carries three dials at three levels each, plus a Turbo control, but the dial sets differ: the Sour edition runs sour, icy and sweet, while the Sweet edition runs a NIC control, icy and sweet. Both are filled at 50mg/ml; the NIC control changes intensity rather than the liquid. The carton gives 1000mAh and 106.3 × 28.2 × 51.2 mm.
Compatibility and related products
- A sealed, pre-filled unit, no refilling, and no consumables to buy alongside it.
- Ice King Pro lists five cooling levels and a transparent tank. Ice King 30000 has its own documented display and controls. Compare the exact models rather than treating a feature list as proof that no additional controls exist.
- For Ice King 30000, consult its documented display and cooling controls.
- The refillable alternative at the same 50mg is a pod kit with a high-strength salt from Nasty Salts or Ultimate Salts 30ml, with cartridges on Replacement Pods.
Buying guidance
- The edition name identifies a catalogue grouping and a control set. Sour has sour, icy and sweet controls; Sweet has NIC, icy and sweet, with no sour control. Choose the exact flavour description separately from the edition name.
- VCT is Vanilla Custard Tobacco. It is the only tobacco on the shelf and the initialism is the only warning the listing gives.
- The Trio is rechargeable over USB-C and has a listed 1000mAh battery. Select the Sour or Sweet edition for its respective controls.
- If the flavour name looks familiar, check it letter by letter. Four of the twenty differ from an ELFBAR name elsewhere by a word or a word order.
- Start the dials in the middle and move one at a time. Moving two at once tells you nothing about either.
Kenya and Nairobi relevance
Three dials is an unusual proposition, and this is the only device on the catalogue offering sour and sweet adjustment to buyers in Kenya. Nairobi dispatch is same-day, with 1 to 2 business days to the rest of the country.
