Recently, domestic emerging trend e-cigarette brand RUi launched a new product on June 22: the Gum Series disposable mini vape. As soon as it hit the market, the product was embraced by trend-conscious consumers from all walks of life and became a new favorite for smokers in social settings.
So how do these 12 flavors actually taste? I bought the full lineup for a hands-on review.
Original Tobacco: Much lighter than traditional cigarettes, with a flavor that is not especially rich or intense. On the inhale, there is a slight sweetness on the tip of the tongue, while the exhale has a bit of a buttery tobacco feel. The vapor is delicate and smooth. Cigarette smokers may find it light, but with a nicotine content of just 3%, it may be worth trying for those thinking about quitting smoking.
Iced Mung Bean: This flavor has appeared in quite a few brands and is already fairly popular. What makes RUi’s version different is the addition of a milky note, making it taste like a mung bean milk slushie—very summery.
Iced Hami Melon: Sweet, fragrant, and refreshing on the inhale, with rich Hami melon flavor filling the mouth. With each puff, it feels like drinking a glass of Hami melon juice, and the aftertaste is a bit like Hami melon xylitol gum. It is hard to put down.
Lime Grapefruit: This one is surprisingly impressive. One puff is enough to sweep away the day’s fatigue and bad mood. The flavor is not overly strong, but it is especially fresh. The unique brightness of grapefruit combined with a hint of lime is a wonderful match and definitely one to try.
Strong Mint: Many brands offer mint flavors, but RUi’s version is 0 nicotine. Its special point is that it gives an intense cooling sensation without being overwhelmingly icy. The taste is similar to a mint capsule cigarette, but with no tobacco flavor at all. Very satisfying.
Coffee: It does not have the bitterness or monotony of an Americano. Instead, it is smooth and full-bodied, with a rich coffee flavor more like a latte or cappuccino, along with a light creamy note. If you enjoy coffee in daily life, this flavor is worth trying.
Youth Mango: It does not taste like the mangoes you usually eat. There is no sourness at all—just a pronounced sweetness, more like a mango drink. That said, it is not as layered or complex as an actual beverage. Slightly cool and fairly standard overall.
Rose Peach: This one feels custom-made for women. One puff brings a light peach aroma, while the mouth is filled with sweetness. It leans toward a fragrant, sweet profile and may feel a bit too rich for men.
Orange Soda: On the inhale, you get a 60%-sweet orange flavor, and you can even sense the fizzy soda effect on the tongue. It is especially refreshing and tastes like the classic Beibingyang orange soda loved in Beijing. One puff brings back childhood memories, like taking a sip of ice-cold Beibingyang straight from the fridge. Highly recommended.
Feizixiao: A refreshing yet rich flavor profile. It tastes like ripe, sweet lychee without any tartness—rounded, fragrant, and sweet at about a 50% sweetness level. There is also a soft, delicate note, plus a mild cooling sensation. One puff feels like seeing a sunny summer girl in a short skirt.
Blueberry Night: The blueberry flavor is relatively rich and heavy, with about 50% sweetness. It does not taste like fresh blueberries and has none of the usual astringency. It is somewhat like a blueberry drink, though less layered than an actual beverage.
Old Popsicle: The legendary old-fashioned popsicle flavor—pure childhood nostalgia. The flavor reproduction is 99% accurate, with an 80% cooling level. It is cool and lightly sweet on the inhale, just like eating an old-school popsicle. While vaping it, I almost wanted to bite down on it. Smooth and soothing on the throat, and a must-have for summer.
Summary of the experience:
The device is compact and easy to carry, with a smooth finish and a stylish feel in the hand. The vapor is delicate yet full, and every flavor delivers a high level of accuracy. When going out, you can easily bring a few of your favorite flavors and mix things up, making it easy to enjoy and share with friends anytime in the heat of summer. It truly lives up to its reputation as a trendy new social favorite among smokers.
