Flavour profile
Described as a sharp, tart cranberry that adds depth and freshness, combined with dark, juicy grape providing smooth sweetness, with a light cooling ice that enhances clarity, balanced fruit intensity suited to all-day vaping, with a refreshing exhale.
Cranberry is unusual in vaping and worth understanding. It is genuinely tart rather than sweet-tart, with a dry, almost astringent finish that most fruit flavourings do not have. Pairing it with grape is deliberate: grape is sweet and low in acid, so it fills in underneath the cranberry without blunting it.
A naming point before you order: the same liquid is sold in some markets as Cranberry Grape Ice. This one carries the shorter name, and the light cooling described above is there either way.
Device and performance
Tart fruits sharpen unpleasantly when a coil runs hot rather than simply fading, which makes Normal mode the better setting here. The description claims the flavour stays crisp and accurate after extended use, and that is a claim worth holding the device to across 24ml.
Who it suits
Anyone whose complaint about disposables is that everything tastes like sugar. This is the tartest flavour in the range and the closest thing here to a genuinely dry fruit profile.
It also suits long sessions, precisely because tartness resets the palate where sweetness accumulates on it.
Nicotine and strength
One strength: 50mg/ml, 5%, nicotine salt. Tartness adds a throat hit on top of the nicotine, so this is firmer than the sweet fruits at the same figure.
Charging
USB Type-C. The 600mAh battery will need charging several times across 24ml of liquid.
Practical notes
On first use: draw gently for the first few pulls rather than hard. A new wick needs a moment to saturate fully, and a hard first draw on a dry wick is the most common cause of a device tasting scorched from the outset.
How it compares in the range
The only cranberry here and the only genuinely tart flavour. Grape appears twice more: Grape Tugboat T12000 on its own, and inside Purple Rain Tugboat T12000 as part of a candy-style berry blend.
If the tartness appeals but you want it without the cooling, nothing in this range offers it. This is as dry as Tugboat gets here.
Buying and delivery
Not the one to buy blind for someone else; tartness divides people. For yourself, it is the most distinctive fruit here. From Vapesoko Nairobi, Nairobi and its neighbouring towns are same-day on an early dispatch, and the rest of Kenya follows in 1 to 2 business days.
The rest of the Tugboat range
If tartness is what you were missing, it is worth knowing which other flavours here come closest. Stocking up? The complete Tugboat T12000 range is here, along with Tugboat Evo Pro 15000 and our refillable pod kits and nicotine salt e-liquids, with same-day delivery across Nairobi and nationwide shipping throughout Kenya.
