Lost Mary BM6000 Refill Pack – Blackberry Ice

A Cold Snap of Dark Fruit

There's a moment, right at the start of a draw on Blackberry Ice, where the menthol arrives before the fruit does, a clean, faintly medicinal chill that sweeps across the tongue first, almost like stepping out into frosty air. Then, a half-second behind it, the blackberry comes through: deep, slightly tart, more wine than jam, with none of the sugary sheen you'd get from a berry-candy flavour. It reads darker and less sweet than most fruit vapes on shelves right now, closer to the taste of an actual overripe blackberry picked cold off a hedgerow than to anything artificial. The two elements don't blend so much as trade places from breath to breath, ice first, fruit close behind, and that back-and-forth is really the whole personality of this flavour.

Settling Into the Session

By the third or fourth pull, the menthol has cooled the inside of your mouth enough that the blackberry starts to taste rounder and more forward, less muted by that initial chill. This is the part of the vape where Blackberry Ice earns its keep, it stops being "ice with a bit of fruit" and becomes a genuinely dark, brooding berry flavour with a cooling undertone rather than a full menthol blast. It never turns properly sweet the way a lot of ice-fruit combinations do; the tartness of the blackberry stays present throughout, which is exactly what separates this from the sweeter, more one-note ice flavours on the market.

The Exhale: Where Ice Wins Again

On the way out, the cooling sensation reasserts itself, leaving a crisp, almost minty clarity at the back of the throat that the fruit doesn't quite follow all the way through. It's a clean finish rather than a lingering one, nothing sticks around the way a syrupy sweet flavour would, which makes it a genuinely refreshing option rather than a heavy one. That crispness on the exhale is arguably the flavour's strongest asset: it never feels muggy or thick, even several draws into a session.

The Right Mood for Blackberry Ice

This is a flavour built for people who find fruit-only vapes a bit flat and menthol-only vapes a bit boring, it sits deliberately between the two. It suits a colder-weather mindset more than a summer one, which fits neatly with British vaping habits for much of the year: think early mornings on the way to work, a break outside on a grey afternoon, or late evening when you want something that feels sharp and clarifying rather than indulgent. It's less at home as an after-dinner treat-yourself flavour, and more suited to moments when you want to feel alert and reset rather than soothed. If you tend to reach for menthol cigarettes or minty gum when you need to wake your senses up, Blackberry Ice will feel like familiar territory with more depth behind it.

Comparing It to the Rest of the Ice Aisle

Set next to a straightforward blueberry ice, Blackberry Ice comes across noticeably less sweet and more tannic, with that wine-like edge blackberries have that blueberries generally lack. Against a watermelon ice, it's a completely different weight class, watermelon ice tends to be light and watery, where this is dense and almost jammy underneath the cold. And compared with a plain menthol or mint, Blackberry Ice obviously has far more going on; the fruit gives it a body that straight menthol never has, even if the cooling effect itself is comparable in intensity.

To stop the ice element becoming background noise over a full day, it's worth rotating with flavours that don't lean on menthol at all:

• A warmer, sweeter berry flavour without ice, to feel the contrast in temperature and sugar
• A citrus flavour for a completely different kind of brightness
• A custard or dessert-style flavour on the rare occasion you want something with no cooling at all

Because the menthol here is consistent and fairly assertive, using it as your only flavour all day can dull your sensitivity to cooling flavours generally, which is the main reason to keep something menthol-free in the mix.

Getting the Best Out of It

Blackberry Ice tends to taste sharpest and truest earlier in a pod's life, when the fruit note is at its strongest relative to the menthol, as with most ice-fruit blends, the cooling sensation tends to stay consistent for longer than the more delicate fruit character does. Steady, even draws bring out the fruit better than fast, short ones, which tend to emphasise the ice and mute the blackberry underneath it. It's also genuinely a better cold-weather flavour than a hot one; on a warm day the cooling effect can feel less distinct against already-warm air, whereas on a cold morning or evening the contrast between the ice and the fruit is much more obvious.

Blackberry Ice: Frequently Asked

Is Blackberry Ice a sweet flavour or a sharp one?

It sits on the sharper, more tart side of the fruit-ice category, the blackberry note is closer to real fruit than to berry candy, and the menthol keeps the whole flavour feeling crisp rather than sugary.

Does the menthol overpower the blackberry fruit taste?

Not once you're a few draws in. The ice arrives first on each pull, but the fruit builds through the middle of the vape and comes through clearly, especially earlier in a pod's life when the flavour is at its most concentrated.

Is this a good flavour for someone who doesn't usually like menthol vapes?

It can be, because the menthol here is more of a cooling backdrop than a dominant mint flavour, if you like dark berries and just want something that feels a bit more refreshing than a standard fruit vape, it's a reasonable way into ice flavours without going full menthol.
