Enjoy Ultra 9000 – Blackberry Ice

Blackberry Ice on the Enjoy Ultra 9000: a dark berry chill worth savouring

Some flavours announce themselves loudly. Blackberry Ice on the Enjoy Ultra 9000 does the opposite. It arrives like dusk, deep and unhurried, the kind of taste that rewards a slower draw and a bit of attention. If you have grown tired of sweets-shop fruit vapes that taste like liquid confectionery, this is the darker, more grown-up cousin, and the up to roughly 9000 puffs on tap give you plenty of runway to fall for it.

The taste, from first inhale to lingering finish

The opening pull is unmistakably blackberry, but it is the ripe, jammy end of the fruit rather than the tart, underripe version. Think of the berries at the very bottom of a hedgerow punnet, the ones that have gone soft and syrupy and stain your fingers purple. There is a rounded sweetness up front, plush and slightly wine-dark, with none of the sharp acidity you get from raspberry or the thin sweetness of blueberry.

Mid-vape is where the ice earns its billing. As the berry settles across your palate, a clean menthol coolness rises up underneath it, threading through the fruit rather than sitting on top. This is not a harsh, nose-stinging blast of mint. It reads more like chilled air, a frosted quality that keeps the jammy sweetness from ever becoming cloying. The contrast is the whole point: warm, dark, sugary berry meeting a cold current, so each draw feels balanced and refreshing instead of heavy.

The exhale is where the flavour shows its length. As the vapour leaves, the sweetness fades first and the cool blackberry skin note lingers, leaving a faintly tart, almost bramble-like aftertaste at the back of the tongue. It is a tidy finish that does not coat your mouth or leave a sugary film, which is a big part of why Blackberry Ice is so easy to reach for again and again without feeling sickly. On the Enjoy Ultra 9000, that consistency holds up impressively across the life of the device, the berry staying defined and the menthol staying crisp rather than washing out.

Who it suits, and when it hits hardest

This is a flavour for people who like their fruit with a spine. If your usual rotation is heavy on mango, strawberry milkshake, or tropical punch, Blackberry Ice will feel like stepping into shade after a bright day. It suits vapers who want something fruity but not juvenile, sweet but not sickly, and cool without living entirely in menthol territory.

Timing-wise, it comes alive after food. The chill cuts through a rich meal beautifully, which makes it a natural after-dinner vape, and the darker berry character works surprisingly well in the evening when you want something a bit more mellow and moody. On a warm afternoon the icy element makes it genuinely refreshing, the sort of flavour you enjoy sitting outside with a cold drink. It is less of a first-thing-in-the-morning taste, since the depth of the berry can feel intense on a completely fresh palate, and more of a mid-to-late-day companion.

Mood matters too. Blackberry Ice rewards the moments when you actually want to notice what you are vaping. It is not the ideal choice if you want something you can vape absent-mindedly all day, because the richness deserves a bit of presence. Slow it down and it delivers.

How it compares, and what to rotate it with

Against a plain blueberry ice, Blackberry Ice is darker, deeper and jammier, with far less of that slightly sherbet-like brightness blueberry tends to carry. Set beside a grape ice, it is less perfumed and floral and more earthy and hedgerow-like. Compared with a straight menthol or a mint, it obviously offers a whole fruit body that those cannot, so if you find pure menthol too clinical, this softens the cold with something to hold onto.

Palate fatigue is the enemy of any single flavour, and dark berries are rich enough that vaping nothing else can dull them over a few days. To keep Blackberry Ice tasting vivid, rotate it against something that lives in a different part of the flavour map. A citrus or a lemon-lime works brilliantly as a palate reset, since the acidity scrubs away the jammy sweetness. A clean apple or a lighter melon gives your tongue a rest without clashing. If you want to stay in cool territory, pair it with a spearmint or a menthol so the ice feels like a running theme rather than a repeat. What you want to avoid is rotating it against another heavy dark fruit like blackcurrant or grape back to back, because the two blur together and you lose the definition that makes Blackberry Ice special.

Getting the truest taste from it

A couple of small habits make a real difference. First, take slightly longer, gentler draws rather than short sharp puffs. Dark berry flavours unfold over the length of an inhale, and rushing it means you catch the sweetness but miss the cool bramble finish. Second, give the flavour a moment between draws. Chain-vaping any ice flavour tends to numb your palate to the menthol, so the fruit starts tasting flatter than it is. Space your puffs out and Blackberry Ice keeps its full range.

Storage helps too. Keep the device out of direct heat and sunlight, and avoid leaving it in a hot car, since warmth can slightly dull the crispness of the menthol over time. Stored somewhere cool and out of the way, the flavour stays true right through the up to roughly 9000 puffs. If anything, many people find the berry tastes its absolute best in the first two-thirds of the device, when everything is at full strength, so there is no need to hurry through it.

A note on value and who should skip it

With up to around 9000 puffs, a single Enjoy Ultra 9000 in Blackberry Ice is designed to last, which makes committing to a richer, more characterful flavour lower risk. You are not locked into a small pod you will burn through in an afternoon. That said, this flavour will not be for everyone. If you dislike menthol in any form, the ice element here is woven in too thoroughly to ignore, so a non-iced berry would suit you better. Vapers who prefer bright, tart, sherbet-style fruits may also find the darkness a touch too mellow. And if you want a flavour to disappear into the background all day, the sheer depth of the berry may feel like too much presence.

Is Blackberry Ice very sweet or more tart?

It sits firmly on the sweet, jammy side, with the ripeness of the berry leading. There is a gentle tartness in the finish from the blackberry skin, but the overall impression is rounded and syrupy rather than sharp. The menthol keeps that sweetness in check, so it reads as balanced rather than sugary.

How strong is the ice hit?

Moderate. It is a cooling, frosted-air kind of menthol rather than an aggressive, throat-catching freeze. You will clearly notice the chill, especially on the exhale, but it is designed to complement the berry rather than dominate it, which makes it approachable even if you do not usually love very icy vapes.

What food or drink goes well with it?

It pairs naturally with coffee, since the bitterness plays off the sweet berry, and it is lovely after a rich or savoury meal where the cool element acts as a palate cleanser. With cold drinks like sparkling water or a soft drink, the icy character feels amplified in the best way. Steer clear of vaping it alongside anything strongly minty to eat, as the two cool notes tend to cancel each other out.
