Crystal Pro Switch 30K Prefilled Pod Kit – Watermelon Ice/Watermelon Bubblegum

Two watermelons, one switch: Watermelon Ice and Watermelon Bubblegum on the Crystal Pro Switch 30K

The clever trick with this pod kit is that you are not locked into a single mood. Flick the switch and you move between two takes on watermelon that could not be more different in character, both loaded onto a pod built to run for a long, long time, up to around thirty thousand puffs across its life. On one side you get Watermelon Ice, crisp and cold and grown-up. On the other, Watermelon Bubblegum, a sweet-shop throwback that tastes like summer holidays. Having both on hand means one device covers two completely different cravings, and understanding how each side behaves is what lets you get the most out of it.

Watermelon Ice: the fresh, cold side

The first inhale on the Ice setting is pure ripe watermelon, that clean, watery sweetness you get from a wedge straight out of the fridge on a hot afternoon. It is juicy without being syrupy, and it reads as genuinely fruit-like rather than sugary. As the puff develops, a coolant wave builds underneath the melon. This is not a harsh menthol slap. It is more of a smooth, frosty glide that makes the fruit taste even crisper, as if the whole thing has been chilled a few more degrees.

The exhale is where the Ice side really lands. The watermelon rolls out first, then the cool finish sweeps across your tongue and leaves that clean, almost breath-freshening aftertaste. It resets the palate beautifully, which is why this side is so easy to chain through on a warm day. If you like a fruit that feels refreshing and slightly sophisticated, this is your setting.

Watermelon Bubblegum: the sweet-shop side

Switch over and the personality flips entirely. The bubblegum inhale is soft, pink and unmistakably nostalgic, the taste of the gum you used to blow into a bubble as a kid. Sat over the top is that same watermelon, but here it plays sweeter and jammier, less like fresh fruit and more like watermelon-flavoured candy. The two combine into something rounded, creamy-sweet and playful.

Mid-vape, the bubblegum note is what carries. It has that faintly chewy, pillowy quality that good bubblegum flavours capture, and it keeps the whole thing feeling like a dessert rather than a fruit. The exhale is warm and sugary, with no cooling to speak of, so it lingers longer and coats the palate. Where the Ice side refreshes, the Bubblegum side comforts. It is the flavour you reach for when you want a treat rather than a reset.

Why having both changes how you vape

The point of a dual-flavour switch is contrast, and these two are perfectly chosen for it. Vaping one profile for hours on end is the fastest route to palate fatigue, where your taste buds go numb to a flavour and everything starts tasting muted. Because Watermelon Ice and Watermelon Bubblegum sit at opposite ends, cold and fresh against warm and sweet, switching between them acts as its own palate cleanser. Run the Ice for a stretch, flip to Bubblegum when you fancy something indulgent, then swap back and the cold hits you fresh all over again.

In practice, most people find a rhythm tied to the time of day. The Ice side suits mornings, hot weather and after food, when you want something clean and sharp. The Bubblegum side comes into its own in the evening, on the sofa, or whenever you want a sweeter, more comforting vape. You are effectively carrying a summer refresher and a dessert in the same device.

Who each side suits

Watermelon Ice is for the vaper who likes fruit with a cold edge, who finds pure sweet flavours a bit much, and who wants something that feels revitalising. Watermelon Bubblegum is for the sweet tooth, the person who loves candy and dessert vapes and does not want a menthol finish getting in the way. The beauty of the kit is that you do not have to choose your allegiance in advance. If you are somewhere in the middle, or you simply like variety, this pairing lets your mood decide on the day.

Getting the best from both flavours

A few habits make a real difference across the pod's long life. Give a fresh pod a short rest after your first few puffs so the wick fully soaks, which keeps both flavours tasting full rather than faint early on. When you switch settings, take a puff or two to let the new flavour establish itself, since the very first draw after a swap can carry a faint trace of the previous side. Gentle, steady draws tend to preserve the watermelon character on both settings better than short, hard pulls.

Because this is a high-capacity device designed to last, the flavour is at its liveliest through the early and middle portion of its life. As any long-life pod approaches the end of its run, sweetness can flatten and the cool edge on the Ice side softens, so treat a fading, slightly muted taste as the natural signal that the pod is nearing empty. Keep the device out of hot cars and direct sun, as heat dulls delicate fruit and coolant notes over time.

Who might want to look elsewhere

If you dislike bubblegum or candy flavours outright, you are effectively only using half of what this kit offers, and a single-flavour watermelon ice product might suit you better. Equally, if strong coolant bothers you, note that the Ice side does carry a genuine cold finish, though the Bubblegum side gives you a completely non-iced alternative on the same device. As with all nicotine products, this is strictly for over-eighteens, and the nicotine strength sits within the UK limit of 20mg per ml.

Frequently asked questions

Do the two flavours ever mix together?

They are kept separate, so you vape one profile at a time depending on the switch position. The only time you might notice a slight blend is on the very first puff right after flipping the switch, as a faint trace of the previous flavour clears. After a draw or two the new side comes through cleanly.

Which side is stronger tasting?

They are strong in different ways. Watermelon Bubblegum has a bigger, sweeter, more coating flavour that lingers on the palate. Watermelon Ice hits with a crisp fruit and a cold finish that feels more intense in the moment but clears faster. Neither overpowers the other, which is what makes swapping between them so satisfying.

Is the Ice side very menthol-heavy?

No, the cooling is smooth rather than aggressive. It reads more like chilled fresh watermelon than a sharp menthol blast, so it stays comfortable to vape for long stretches. If you actively dislike any cooling, simply keep the switch on the Bubblegum setting, which has no icy finish at all.
