Flavour Beast Alpha: Every Flavour, Explained

Four power levels, two coils

Most disposables give you one fixed output. The Alpha gives you four levels. L1 and L2 run a single mesh coil (1.0 ohm, 10W and 14W) for a gentler, cooler draw that also stretches the tank. L3 and L4 switch to a dual mesh coil (0.5 ohm, 18W and 23W) for a warmer, denser hit - at the cost of using liquid faster, so the up-to-80,000-puff figure assumes you are not living on L4. The dot-matrix screen keeps track of battery, remaining e-liquid and the level you are on, which takes the guesswork out of a device this size. The 850mAh battery recharges over USB-C with fast charging, and airflow is adjustable on top of the power choice.

Start low with a new device. L1 shows you what the flavour tastes like at its mildest; step up only if the hit feels thin. Most people settle on one level and stay there, which also makes the tank last the way the rating suggests.

The strength options: 0mg, 10mg and 20mg

Almost every disposable in Canada is 20mg/mL only. Six Alpha flavours break that pattern and come in three strengths - 0mg, 10mg and 20mg: Bomb Blue Razz, Extreme Mint Iced, Jumpin' Juicy Peach, Trippin' Triple Berry, Weekend Watermelon Iced and Wild White Grape Iced. The other 30 flavours are 20mg only. If you are stepping your nicotine down, or you want the flavour with no nicotine at all, those six are where to look - it is a short list, but it is more choice than most disposable lines offer at all.

The mint wall: 10 flavours

Mint is a whole section of the Alpha menu, not a single flavour. The mint family runs to ten: Extreme Mint Iced, Miami Mint Iced, Polar Mint Iced, Alpine Mint Iced, Arctic Mint Iced, Crystal Mint Iced, Peppermint Iced, Super Spearmint Iced and Winter Blast Mint Iced, plus Intense Ice Blast, the line's pure-cooling option with no fruit in front of it. Peppermint and spearmint are the two recognisable mint types; the rest are blended mints that differ mainly in how hard the cold hits. If you vape mint exclusively, this is one of the deepest mint benches of any disposable we carry - work through it from the everyday mints toward the blast end.

The iced fruits: 19 flavours

The centre of the menu is fruit with an ice finish. The melon and tropical side: Honeydew Pineapple Iced, Pushin' Mango Pineapple Iced, Primo Pina Colada Iced, Wavin' Watermelon Lime Iced, Meta Melon Citrus Iced and Cool Cucumber Lime Iced - the cucumber-lime is the lightest, most unusual pour in the range. The berry and orchard side: Atomic Apple Iced, Bet Blueberry Watermelon Iced, Cherry Blast Iced, Famous Fruit KO Iced, Groovy Grape Passionfruit Iced, Orange Swirl Iced, Pink Bomb Iced, Slayin' Strawberry Citrus Iced, STR8 UP Strawberry Banana Iced, Supreme Strawberry Kiwi Iced and Bussin Banana Iced. Weekend Watermelon Iced and Wild White Grape Iced sit here too - and both also come in 0mg and 10mg, if you want an iced fruit without full strength.

The non-iced fruits: 7 flavours

Seven flavours skip the cooling entirely: Bomb Blue Razz (blue raspberry, the line's signature berry), Jumpin' Juicy Peach, Trippin' Triple Berry, Flippin' Fruit Flash, Mad Mango Peach, Packin' Peach Berry and Wicked White Peach. Peach shows up four times in different company - straight, white peach, with mango, and with berry - which tells you where this line's heart is. If ice has ever put you off a disposable, start here: three of these seven (Bomb Blue Razz, Jumpin' Juicy Peach, Trippin' Triple Berry) are also the ones with the 0mg and 10mg options.

One line in a bigger family

Alpha is a family, not a single page. Alongside this main line there are separate Alpha series - Fruity G, Gushin', the Light Series, Blended Series and Unleashed Epic - each with its own product page and its own flavour list, all running on the same Alpha hardware. This guide covers the 36 flavours of the main line; if a flavour you have heard of is not listed above, it most likely lives in one of the sibling series.
