What Geek Bar Mate Sour Apple Ice tastes like
Sour Apple Ice is tart green apple with sour candy notes and a cold menthol finish. The reviews we read describe it in nearly the same words: crisp, sharp apple on the inhale, a sour edge like green apple candy, and a chilled exhale. One reviewer compares it to a sour apple candy straight out of the freezer.
It is one of the colder Mate pods, colder than Miami Mint on the same device, though not as cold as Cool Mint, which has the strongest cooling in the Mate lineup in the rankings we checked. The tartness keeps the cold from tasting flat, and the cold keeps the sourness from building up.
Regular Mode vs Pulse Mode with Sour Apple Ice
The Mate has two parts: a rechargeable device with a 900 mAh battery and the screen, and a 15 mL pod with the liquid, a 1.1 ohm dual mesh coil and its own 200 mAh battery. Pods snap on magnetically. The 60,000-puff rating covers the platform in Regular Mode across pods, not one pod.
Regular Mode is the even, all-day setting. Pulse Mode runs at higher output for denser vapor and a stronger hit, so both the sour apple and the cold come through harder, and the pod empties faster. With a flavor this sharp, Regular Mode is where we would start.
Our Geek Bar Mate 60K review covers how the kit and pods work, the screen and the full flavor list.
How Sour Apple Ice compares to the pods next to it
Sour Apple Ice vs Blue Razz Ice
Blue Razz Ice is sweet blue raspberry candy with a crisp menthol chill. It is sweeter and less tart, with cooling in a similar range. It is also one of the two flavors sold as a kit right now, so it is an easy way to get the device.
Sour Apple Ice vs Watermelon Ice
Watermelon Ice is juicy, sweet watermelon with a cold exhale. It is the softer iced fruit pod. Choose Sour Apple Ice if you want tart; choose Watermelon Ice if you want sweet.
Sour Apple Ice vs Cool Mint
Cool Mint is mint with no fruit and no sweetness, and it is the coldest pod in the lineup. If you want the cold without any fruit, go Cool Mint. If you want the cold with a sour candy edge, stay with Sour Apple Ice.
Who should buy the Mate Sour Apple Ice pod, and who should not
Buy it if you like sour candy, want a cold fruit pod, or already own a Mate and want a pod that stays interesting over a long session. Skip it if you want no ice at all (Strawberry Banana or Juicy Peach) or a sweeter iced pod (Blue Razz Ice or Watermelon Ice).
