Flavour profile
Described as a refreshing mix of sweet strawberry and tangy kiwi, offering a light, smooth, and well-balanced fruity vape: sweet ripe strawberry with slight tartness and tropical freshness, finishing clean. It is also summed up as a bright, fruity vape with just the right amount of zing.
Kiwi is the interesting half. It is one of the few fruits that is simultaneously sweet and genuinely acidic, with a slightly green, seedy edge that most flavourings smooth away. Against strawberry, it acts as the sharpener. The reason this blend reads as bright rather than jammy.
On cooling, descriptions differ: a light cooling effect is sometimes mentioned and often absent altogether. We would not state either way with confidence, so treat any chill as light if present.
Device and performance
Kiwi acidity is one of the notes most affected by a hot coil; it sharpens unpleasantly rather than fading quietly. Normal mode is the better setting on this flavour, and it is the difference between bright and sour by the end of the tank.
Who it suits
Anyone who finds strawberry flavours too sweet on their own. The kiwi is what makes this sessionable where a pure strawberry would cloy.
Also a good option in hot weather without committing to menthol.
Nicotine and strength
One strength: 50mg/ml, 5%, nicotine salt. Kiwi acidity adds a little throat hit; the strawberry sweetness takes some of it back.
Charging
USB Type-C. The 600mAh cell is sized for convenience, not to outlast 24ml, so plan on charging it repeatedly.
Practical notes
On storage, which matters more here than in cooler climates. Heat and direct sunlight degrade e-liquid and dull the flavour, and a device left on a car dashboard or a sunny windowsill will taste noticeably worse than one kept in a bag or a drawer. Room temperature and out of the sun is enough.
How it compares in the range
The sharpest of the four flavours here contains strawberry. Strawberry Watermelon Tugboat T12000 is the lightest, Strawberry Mango Tugboat T12000 the sweetest, and Triple Berry Ice Tugboat T12000 folds it into a three-berry blend.
The only kiwi in the range. If the tartness is what appeals, Cranberry Grape Tugboat T12000 goes considerably further in the same direction.
Buying and delivery
Buy it over the plain strawberry options if you find sweet flavours tiring by the afternoon. 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
If the kiwi tartness worked for you, a couple of other flavours here go further in the same direction. 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.
