Flavour profile
It is described as a fifty-fifty blend of ripe strawberry and a mellow watermelon, unusually precise for this range, where most flavours get nothing beyond the name.
Mellow is the operative word. This is not the candied watermelon ELFBAR use elsewhere in their catalogue; it is the soft version, and neither fruit is fighting the other.
The three dials on an even blend
Two soft fruits with no acidity between them mean the sour dial changes this more than almost anything on the slate, and the sweet dial changes it least. If you want the pairing to stay balanced, the icy dial in the middle is the setting that lifts both halves without picking one.
The same name on two other devices you can buy here
Both Strawberry Watermelon ELFBAR Ice King Disposable Vape 30000 Puffs and Strawberry Watermelon ELFBAR Ice King Pro Disposable Vape 40000 Puffs repeat the pairing under the Ice King banner. Three devices, one name.
One useful difference: on the earlier Ice King, whether that liquid is cooled at all is unsettled. Here no cooling is described at all, and the device settles the question for you anyway.
What the two slates actually are
ELFBAR’s own storefront carries two listings, ten flavours each, with no published definition of either and the same three dials on both. Nothing states that Sour-slate liquids are acidified. A blend described as mellow sitting on the Sour slate is the plainest illustration of that.
Practical notes
Both fruits are grown in Kenya (watermelon at real commercial scale, strawberry more modestly), which makes this the pairing on the Sour slate a local buyer can judge hardest. The vape version will read sweeter and softer than either fruit off a stall, which is normal and not a fault.
Living with 40,000 puffs
Forty thousand is a rating taken under conditions nobody publishes, and no second figure exists to compare it against. What you actually get depends on how hard and how often you draw. That is true of every high-puff disposable, so it is worth saying once and not holding against this one.
Where it sits in the range
The evenest of the fruit blends. Strawberry Kiwi ELFBAR Trio Sour Disposable Vape 40000 Puffs takes the same berry and gives it a tart partner; Strawberry Mango ELFBAR Trio Sour Disposable Vape 40000 Puffs gives it a heavier one. See all twenty in the ELFBAR Trio 40000 range.
Buying considerations
The undemanding one on this slate, and the fairest test of whether the dials suit you. Vapesoko Nairobi dispatches same day inside Nairobi and the towns around it, with the rest of Kenya reached by courier in 1 to 2 business days.
