Flavour profile
Watermelon leads and the bubblegum follows, consistently so, which makes this a watermelon with a gum note rather than a bubblegum with fruit in it. The closest comparison is chewing gum while drinking a watermelon smoothie.
The watermelon is candied, not fresh. Descriptions are explicit about it, and it is the single most useful thing to know before ordering.
Is it sour? The sources do not agree
Whether it is sour at all is unsettled. The fuller descriptions, including of the same flavour on an earlier ELFBAR device, say flatly that it is not sour and call it one for the sweet-toothed. Descriptions elsewhere say the opposite, that it blends sweet and sour.
The weight of description sits with not sour, and on this device the question is partly moot anyway: there is a sour dial, and if you want tartness you can add it.
The three dials on the sweetest flavour here
The sweet dial is the one to leave alone. Candied watermelon plus gum is already at the top of this range for sugar, and the useful adjustments are the other two: the sour dial to cut it, or the icy dial to lift it.
The same name on the Ice King 30000
The name repeats exactly on Watermelon Bubblegum ELFBAR Ice King Disposable Vape 30000 Puffs, and that same range extends to a straight Bubblegum ELFBAR Ice King Disposable Vape 30000 Puffs if the confectionery matters more than the melon. Nothing published relates any of them.
Practical notes
Watermelon is grown widely in Kenya, and it is the fruit a local buyer is most likely to have eaten fresh that week, which is exactly why the candied treatment here is worth flagging. The gap between watermelon the fruit and watermelon the sweet-shop flavour is wider than the name suggests.
Living with 40,000 puffs
Heat is what ages the liquid inside a device you carry for months, and a sweet profile is where any change tends to be noticed first. In Kenyan conditions, that simply means no glovebox stints and no windowsills in full glare, a small habit that adds weeks.
Where it sits in the range
One of two confectionery flavours on the Sour slate, with Blue Razz Ice ELFBAR Trio Sour Disposable Vape 40000 Puffs as the other and colder one. For watermelon treated as fruit instead, Watermelon Ice ELFBAR Trio Sweet Disposable Vape 40000 Puffs is on the Sweet slate. See all twenty in the ELFBAR Trio 40000 range.
Buying considerations
The sweet-shop option, for anyone shopping for a flavour. Same-day dispatch from Vapesoko Nairobi across Nairobi and the surrounding towns on an early order, and 1 to 2 business days by courier elsewhere in Kenya.
