Key facts, updated October 12, 2026. Flum GIO Tobacco Cream · 3,000 puffs · 8 mL · 5% (50 mg) nicotine salt · not rechargeable · $19.99, buy 10 get the 11th free. Flum Float Mello Pro 50K Tobacco · up to 50,000 puffs · 5% (50 mg) · USB-C rechargeable · $19.99. Both in stock at Zovapo.

Flum makes two tobacco devices that cost exactly the same at Zovapo and could not be more different in how you live with them. The GIO Tobacco Cream is a small, 3,000-puff disposable you finish in a week or two and never charge. The Float Mello Pro 50K in Tobacco is a rechargeable 50,000-puff device you keep for a month or more. Both are $19.99. Here is how they differ, what our own order data says about who buys each, and which one to pick.

The short answer

Buy the GIO Tobacco Cream if the flavor is the point: a sweet, creamy tobacco that nothing else in the Flum range copies, in a pocket device with no cable. Buy the Mello Pro Tobacco if the cost per puff is the point: it is a milder, drier tobacco on a device that lasts roughly fifteen times longer for the same money. Most people who try both settle on one and stop switching; our reorder data below shows which way that usually goes.

Puff counts are the manufacturer’s lab figures at short draws; real-world counts are lower for everyone, and lower still if you take long pulls. The ratio between the two devices is what matters, and it is roughly 15 to 1.

How the two tobaccos actually taste

GIO Tobacco Cream leads with the cream. It is a dessert-leaning tobacco: a sweet, slightly vanilla body with the tobacco note sitting behind it rather than in front. The throat hit is soft for a 5% device, and the flavor stays the same from the first puff to the last because the device is finished before any coil fade sets in. If you came from a sweet cigarette or a cigarillo, this is the one that will feel familiar.

Mello Pro Tobacco is the classic profile on Flum’s Mello system, which is tuned for a soft, consistent draw. It is drier and less sweet than the GIO, with a light, almost toasty tobacco note and no cream at all. Our Mello Pro Clear review describes the system in more detail; Tobacco is the same device with a mild tobacco flavoring added. It is the Mello Pro best seller, and it is the flavor to pick if you find the GIO too sweet.

What our order data says

We looked at every order shipped from Zovapo’s own checkout in the 90 days to October 12, 2026 (wholesale and marketplace orders excluded). A few things stood out.

• GIO buyers buy GIO and nothing else. 73 orders contained the GIO Tobacco Cream; 64 of them (88%) contained no other product.
• They buy in bulk. Those 73 orders carried 442 devices, an average of six per order. Five is the most common quantity, and about one order in four is for ten or more, which is where the buy-10-get-1 deal kicks in.
• They come back. Of the 31 people who bought a GIO in that window, 16 ordered it at least twice, and the typical gap between orders was about three weeks.
• Mello Pro Tobacco is the opposite pattern. 21 orders in the same 90 days, almost all first-time buyers, most of whom found the product through a search engine. That is what you would expect from a device that lasts months: the reorder cycle is simply longer.

Read the two columns together and the picture is clear. The GIO is a habit product: people know exactly what they want, they stock up, and they reorder on a schedule. The Mello Pro Tobacco is a discovery product: people try it once because the puff count looks like good value, and we will not know how many of them come back until early 2027.

Who should buy which

Choose the GIO Tobacco Cream if

• You like a sweet, creamy tobacco and have not found it anywhere else.
• You do not want to carry a charger or remember to plug a vape in.
• You prefer a small device that is finished and replaced rather than one you keep for months.
• You are willing to pay more per puff for the flavor you want. Buying ten at a time brings the price to about $18.17 each.

Choose the Mello Pro Tobacco if

• Price per puff matters more than the exact flavor.
• You find creamy or dessert tobaccos too sweet and want something drier.
• You are fine charging a device every few days with a USB-C cable.
• You want one $19.99 purchase to last a season, not a fortnight.

If you are torn, buy one of each. It is $39.98 for two devices that answer the question for you, and both ship free as part of any order over $75.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Flum GIO Tobacco Cream the same as Flum Float Tobacco?

Yes. The GIO Tobacco Cream now ships in Flum Float Tobacco packaging. It is the same 3,000-puff device and the same creamy tobacco liquid; only the box changed. It is not the same product as the Mello Pro 50K Tobacco.

Does the Mello Pro Tobacco taste like the GIO Tobacco Cream?

No. The Mello Pro Tobacco is drier and less sweet with no cream note. If you want the GIO flavor, there is no substitute in the Flum range.

Why would anyone pay $19.99 for 3,000 puffs when 50,000 puffs cost the same?

Flavor, format and habit. The GIO is the only creamy tobacco Flum makes, it needs no charging, and our order data shows most GIO buyers reorder it every few weeks without trying anything else. For them the per-puff math is not the deciding factor.

How does the GIO buy-10-get-1 deal work?

Add eleven Flum GIO Tobacco Cream to your cart. The eleventh is removed from the total automatically at checkout, which works out to about $18.17 per device.

Are both devices 5% nicotine?

Yes. Both are 5% (50 mg) nicotine salt. Zovapo does not stock a lower-strength version of either.

Zovapo is an online vape shop; order figures above are from our own store between July 14 and October 12, 2026, and flavor notes come from selling and using both devices. Puff counts are manufacturer ratings. Flavor descriptions are subjective. This product contains nicotine, an addictive chemical. Adults 21+ only.
