Flavour profile
Described as pure mint freshness with a clean and cooling finish, offering a crisp throat hit and suited to daily use. It also reads as a crisp, minty experience, with an icy burst behind a clean, refreshing hit.
The distinction between mint and menthol is worth drawing, because it is the difference between this flavour and Black Ice Tugboat T12000. Mint carries a herbal, slightly sweet character of its own; menthol is the cooling compound without the herb. Cool Mint reads as the more rounded of the two for that reason.
Device and performance
Mint carries very little sweetener, so like the unsweetened menthol, it holds up across the full 24ml far better than the candy or dessert flavours do. The 1.0Ω mesh coil and the two power modes behave the same as on every other flavour; what differs is how long the taste survives them.
Who it suits
Anyone switching from menthol cigarettes who finds pure menthol too stark. Mint gives you the cooling with something to actually taste.
It is also a reasonable first disposable if you have never vaped, because there is nothing unusual in it: no artificial fruit, no candy, nothing that needs getting used to.
Nicotine and strength
One strength: 50mg/ml, 5%, as nicotine salt. Mint adds a throat sensation of its own, so this sits firmer than the sweet fruits at the same figure, though softer than the unsweetened menthol.
Charging
USB Type-C, using any standard phone charger. Expect several charges across the life of a 24ml device. The 600mAh battery is not designed to outlast the liquid.
Practical notes
A note on flying and transport. A device with a lithium cell should travel in hand luggage rather than checked baggage, and pressure changes can cause a sealed device to weep slightly from the airway. Standing it upright and giving it a moment before the first draw at altitude usually settles it.
How it compares in the range
One naming point, in case you have seen it elsewhere: a Cool Mint Ice appears in the Tugboat catalogue under a different product line rather than under the T12000. The flavour concept is the same; the device is not. What you are buying here is the T12000.
Within the range, Black Ice Tugboat T12000 is the harder version of the same idea. Every other cooled flavour puts fruit in front of the cooling.
If you have come to vaping from shisha rather than cigarettes, Double Apple Shisha Tugboat T12000 is the one flavour here built on that tradition, and worth trying alongside this.
Buying and delivery
The safest menthol choice in the range if you are not sure how much cooling you want. Vapesoko Nairobi delivers across Nairobi and its surrounding towns the same day on an early dispatch, and countrywide in 1 to 2 business days.
The rest of the Tugboat range
Mint suits most people who try it; the range around it covers everything from plain menthol to dessert. Everything Tugboat in one place: the Tugboat T12000 range and Tugboat Evo Pro 15000, plus the refillable pod kits and nicotine salt e-liquids most people move to eventually, same-day Nairobi delivery, nationwide across Kenya.
