Fumot Mate Pod Refill Pack – Strawberry Ice

Strawberry Ice on the Fumot Mate refill pack: sweet fruit, cold spine

Strawberry on its own is warm and jammy. Add ice and it becomes something else entirely, a flavour with a cold spine running straight through the middle of the sweetness. Strawberry Ice on the Fumot Mate Pod refill pack is built on that contrast: the familiar comfort of ripe strawberry, then a clean menthol chill that arrives to sharpen it and pull the temperature right down. It is one of the most reliably refreshing fruit blends there is, which is exactly why it is worth keeping stocked as a refill for a device you already vape.

Warm on the inhale, cold on the exhale

The opening draw is pure strawberry. Sweet, ripe and rounded, it leads with the fruit so your first impression is of softness rather than cold. This matters, because a well-made iced flavour lets you taste the fruit before the menthol takes over, rather than drowning it in mint from the first second.

By mid-draw the ice begins to assert itself. A clean, crisp coolness spreads across the tongue, cutting the sweetness and giving the strawberry a crunchier, fresher character, a little like biting into a chilled strawberry straight from the fridge. The menthol here is a cooling agent rather than a spearmint or peppermint flavour, so it chills without adding a herbal or toothpaste note; it simply drops the temperature and lifts the fruit.

The exhale is where Strawberry Ice makes its name. As you breathe out, the cold peaks, sending a brisk, refreshing chill down through the finish while the strawberry lingers underneath. The aftertaste is clean and frosty, leaving your mouth feeling genuinely refreshed rather than coated. That cooling finish is why so many people find iced fruit flavours easier to vape for long stretches; the chill resets the palate on every draw, so the sweetness never has a chance to build up and turn heavy.

When the cold really lands

Strawberry Ice is at its best whenever you want refreshment as much as flavour, and the menthol makes it feel far more suited to certain moments than a warm fruit would.

• Hot days: the chill is genuinely cooling and makes summer heat more bearable, the vaping equivalent of an iced drink.
• After food: the cold, clean finish clears the palate effectively, so it works well after a meal.
• Post-workout or when you feel sluggish: the brisk menthol has a waking, freshening quality that a warm flavour lacks.
• Anytime you want a crisp reset: if sweet, syrupy flavours have started to feel heavy, the ice cuts straight through them.

How it compares, and building a rotation

Against a plain, non-iced strawberry, this is the sharper, more awake sibling; the fruit is the same family but the temperature transforms it. Compared with Strawberry Kiwi, where a tart green fruit supplies the freshness, Strawberry Ice gets its lift from actual cold, so it feels crisper and cleaner rather than tangy. And next to a heavier iced berry mix, the single-fruit focus keeps it simple and recognisable, which many people prefer for all-day use.

Menthol flavours have a habit of numbing the palate over time, so rotation keeps Strawberry Ice tasting as cold and vivid as it should.

• Alternate with a warm, menthol-free fruit such as a mango or peach blend so your palate is not permanently chilled and can register the cold again fully.
• Pair with a sharper iced flavour like Blue Frozen when you want to stay in the cold lane but change the fruit.
• Give your palate an occasional break from menthol entirely; coming back to Strawberry Ice after a warm flavour makes the chill feel twice as strong.

A note on availability

Strawberry Ice is currently showing as out of stock, which is worth flagging honestly. It is a popular iced flavour and tends to sell through, so if it is unavailable when you look, it is generally worth checking back rather than assuming it is gone for good. In the meantime, a cool, sharp alternative such as a strawberry-and-ice-adjacent berry blend or another iced fruit can bridge the gap without straying far from the profile you enjoy.

Getting the cleanest chill from each pod

Iced flavours reward good habits just as fruit ones do, and a few small steps keep both the strawberry and the cold at full strength.

• Prime a fresh pod: let a new refill pod stand for a minute or two after fitting so the wick soaks fully. A dry first pull weakens the fruit and can leave the menthol feeling thin and scratchy.
• Keep the battery charged: cooling comes through cleanest with strong, consistent vapour, so a topped-up device delivers a sharper chill than a flagging one.
• Take measured draws: steady pulls with short pauses keep the coil temperature even and the menthol crisp. Rapid chain-vaping warms everything up and softens the very cold you want.
• Store cool and out of the light: heat and sunlight degrade menthol and thin the liquid, dulling the chill before you open the pod. A cool, dark cupboard preserves it.

Value, staying power and who should avoid it

Each pod is rated up to around 10000 puffs, so a refill pack of Strawberry Ice lasts a long time, and the refreshing chill makes it easy to keep vaping without the flavour fatigue that heavy sweet blends can bring. Refills for a device you already own are also the cost-sensible way to stay stocked. The clear caveat is menthol tolerance: if you dislike cold, mentholated flavours or find they irritate your throat, Strawberry Ice is not the one for you, and a warm strawberry blend would suit you far better. It is unapologetically icy, and that is exactly what its fans want from it.

Nicotine products in the UK are for over-18s only, and nicotine salt is capped at 20mg/ml. Choose a strength that reflects your normal use rather than the strongest available.

Strawberry Ice FAQ

How strong is the ice, and does it hide the strawberry?

The chill is prominent, especially on the exhale, but it is built to complement the fruit rather than bury it. You taste ripe strawberry on the inhale first, and the cold arrives to sharpen it, so both elements come through.

Is the menthol minty or just cold?

It reads as clean cold rather than a herbal mint. There is no toothpaste or spearmint character; the menthol simply drops the temperature and freshens the strawberry, which keeps the flavour firmly fruit-led.

It says out of stock. What can I vape instead in the meantime?

Strawberry Ice does sell through periodically, so it is worth checking back. Until it returns, another iced fruit or a cool berry blend will keep you in a similar crisp, refreshing lane without drifting far from what you like about it.
