One of the most common complaints about disposable e-cigarettes is their sweet taste. The Flum Pebble 
, which is one of the most popular pebble-shaped disposable ecigs on the market, is, naturally, no different. Some enthusiasts love the way it tastes so smooth and candy-like; however, there are also users who think that certain Flum Pebble flavours are just too sugary.
Alert: Before we embark, we request minors and non-puffers to keep off! Nicotine is addictive and harmful.
So are Flum Pebble flavours too sweet, or is this just an internet myth? After spending some time with several different Flum Pebble flavours, here is my honest, unbiased review.
Quick Summary of the Flum Pebble Vape
The Flum Pebble Vape is an easy-to-use draw-activated ecig that has a compact design, has good airflow, and offers excellent flavour. It appeals to many vapers who enjoy a more flavourful vaping experience without the hassle of dealing with coils, filling tanks, or pushing buttons.
The main advantage of the Flum Pebble Vape is that the flavours are all extremely similar in all of their flavors, which is a big positive or negative depending on how you prefer your flavors.
Overview of the Key Specifications
- Puff Count: Approximately 6000 puffs (expected to last most vapers for days to a week with excellent taste).
- Size of E-Liquid: 14ml of e-juice is included inside the device. Thus providing both the duration between uses and the ability to maintain a consistent taste throughout.
- Battery Capacity: 600mAh battery that will support the e-juice duration for most users without having to regularly charge it.
- Charge Port: USB Type-C recharging of this device will allow for faster and more reliable charging than older methods offered by other disposable e-cigarettes that have a micro-USB charging port.
- Nicotine Level: 50mg of nicotine in salt form (5% or higher) will create a strong throat hit but will provide a smoother inhale on the exhale that is designed for experienced users.
Are Flum Pebble Flavors TOO Sweet?
The short answer: yes, some are, and others are not.
Flum Pebble provides an experience that is predominately clean, smooth, and candy-like. It is very different from the overly sweet, syrupy flavors associated with low-quality disposable e-cigarette products. The sweetness of Flum Pebble, however, is maintained through careful design of the airflow and is consistent throughout.
For anyone who enjoys more natural tobacco profiles or milder herbal flavor profiles, several Flum Pebble flavours may be perceived as overly sweet or candy-like in comparison to those e-liquids.
To provide a breakdown of the flavours that we identified as being overly sweet and distinguish the others that are not overly sweet, let’s discuss each flavour below.
Flum Pebble Green Apple Watermelon has Sweetness With a Good Balance
This is a good representation of how Flum does sweetness well.
The green apple has a crisp, slightly tart beginning. The watermelon brings a mellow, juicy sweetness to balance out the tartness.
It's certainly sweet, but not overbearingly so; the tart apple makes it refreshing rather than tasting like candy. Among the fruit flavors, this one is the best balanced, and therefore the least likely to cause fatigue when used over an extended period of time.
Flum Pebble White Gummy - Yes, This One Is Sweet
If Flum Pebble had the "poster flavor" in the sweetness debate, White Gummy would be it.
This flavor really embraces the soft-candy profile, and is comparable to white gummy bears. It's smooth, creamy, and stunningly sweet all the way through—inhale and exhale.
That does not mean it is "bad," but it does mean it is very specific.
- No harsh after-taste
- No chemical sharpness
But so sweet
If you love candy disposables, this is a win. If you're sensitive to sweetness, this one may be overwhelming after a prolonged amount of time.
Flum Pebble Tobacco – Surprisingly Not Sweet
Flum Pebble seems to show variety in their vape flavors.
Flum Pebble Tobacco has a mild quality with an overall smooth flavour, and Earthy Taste, but its sweetness is a lot lower than all of Flum Pebble's other Vape Flavors. This is because Flum Pebble Tobacco does not contain a strong Caramel or Vanilla flavour. Instead, Flum has given its users the following Smoke Flavour:
- Cleanness of tobacco = Clean Dry Tobacco
- Smoothness on inhale = Slight Smoothness on Inhale (to allow for Comfortable Inhalation)
- No lingering sugary aftertaste = A lack of sugar on exhale
A perfect vape for anyone who is an ex-smoker, or for anyone who wants to avoid sweet-tasting vapes.
Flum Pebble Matcha is Subtle and Unexpected
Matcha is a difficult flavour to produce for any Disposable Vape Product, but Flum Pebble has exceeded expectations with their Matcha Vape Flavour.
Flum is focusing more on the earthy tasting notes of Green Tea than on Sweetness. The Smoothness of the Matcha flavour exhibits a nice, creaminess, however there is no Sugar (Sweetness) on exhale.
What stands out about Flum Pebble Matcha Vape Flavor is:
- Herbal and Calming Inhale
- Smooth and a Nearly Meditative Exhale
- A LOW level of Sweetness compared to the Fruit Flavors
Not a flavor for everyone, but if you are feeling a little overwhelmed by all the Sweet Fruit Flavors, Flum's Matcha is a nice alternative and quite a refreshing change of pace.
Flum Pebble Clear - No Sweetness At All
Flum Pebble Clear has been developed with the sole purpose of being a pure neutral vape.
Flum Pebble Clear has no flavoring, no sweetener and simply allows you to taste the clean vapour of the Flum Pebble and receive your nicotine.
Flum Pebble Clear is the best product for the purist who would like to enjoy vapour without the taste of flavour. It is also ideal if you are sensitive to flavours and just want to have a product with minimal flavours added.
Flum Pebble Price and Availability
Usually, the Flum Pebble is priced in the moderate range for premium disposable vapes due to the large amount of puffs, battery size and consistency of flavors.
Online searches for Flum Pebble will yield many options available because of strong support for the sales of popular flavors like "White Gummy" and "Green Apple Watermelon" in both online and brick and mortar vape shops.
