Is ICEMAX Discontinued? What Happened, and the Closest Replacement
The ICEMAX 12,000 is gone, but ICEMAX is not: a second-generation device is expected in October 2026. Here is what that means for the flavor you were buying, and what we hand people who walk in asking for it today.

Yes. The ICEMAX Vape 12,000 Puffs disposable is discontinued and is no longer in production. But ICEMAX as a brand is not finished — a second-generation ICEMAX is expected in October 2026. Until it lands, the closest replacement we stock is the IceBomb 18000 — 18,000 puffs instead of 12,000, USB-C fast charging, and it carries the same Coconut Water flavor, which is in stock today.
- ICEMAX 12,000 is discontinued — no restock is coming.
- The IceBomb 18000 is the closest match: 50% more puffs for $1 more.
- Coconut Water — the ICEMAX flavor most people were buying — exists on the IceBomb 18000.
- The old ICEMAX product page stays online so you can check specs, but it cannot be ordered.
- If you want a lower per-puff cost, the refillable ICE BOMB Pod Kit is the cheaper long-run option.
Is ICEMAX discontinued?
Yes. ICEMAX is discontinued. The ICEMAX Vape 12,000 Puffs disposable is no longer being produced, and we can no longer source it. When our last units sold out in August 2026, that was the end of the line — there is no restock date because there is nothing left to restock.
We have left the original ICEMAX product page online rather than deleting it, so that anyone who still owns one can check the specs. The page is marked as discontinued and cannot be ordered.
This is a common pattern in disposables. Devices rotate off the market faster than almost any other consumer category — the same thing happens across brands, which is why we keep a running note on whether Geek Bars are discontinued as well.
Is ICEMAX coming back?
We have no indication that it is. To be straight with you: we do not have inside knowledge of the manufacturer’s plans, and we will not promise a return we cannot deliver. What we can tell you is what we control — we are not carrying ICEMAX going forward, and we are not taking backorders for it.
In fact the successor is already here, and it is not a coincidence of naming: the IceBomb 18000 is the ICEMAX line’s current device. Its retail artwork reads ICEBOMB · ICEMAX 18000 PUFFS, its parent SKU is ICEMAX-ICEBOMB18000, and 15 of its 16 flavours are the ones the ICEMAX 12,000 shipped with. Some review sites describe IceMax and IceBomb as unrelated brands — the packaging says otherwise.
The closest ICEMAX replacement: IceBomb 18000
When people ask us what replaced ICEMAX, the honest answer is the IceBomb 18000 Rechargeable Vape. It is not the same manufacturer and we are not pretending it is a clone — but on the three things ICEMAX buyers actually cared about, it lands in the same place or better.
- The cold. ICEMAX was bought for icy menthol-forward flavors. IceBomb is built around exactly that — the entire line is glacier-cold.
- The flavor. Coconut Water was the ICEMAX SKU we sold most of. The IceBomb 18000 has a Coconut Water, and it is in stock.
- The value. 18,000 puffs at $17.99 versus 12,000 at $16.99. You are paying about a dollar more for half again as many puffs.
The one real difference to know about is nicotine strength. ICEMAX 12,000 was 3% (30 mg). The IceBomb 18000 is 3% (30 mg) — the same strength, which is unusual in a class where nearly everything is 5% (50 mg). Here is every 3% option we carry. If you would rather refill than replace, the ICEBOOM Mini Puff pods that run on the ICE BOMB Pod Kit are also 3% (30 mg), and they carry the tea side of the ICEMAX menu. RELX Creator Pod is a third 3% option on a different device.

The whole ICE BOMB range is built on menthol. Miami Mint, Watermelon Ice and Strawberry Ice are the three we move fastest, and all three are in stock.
If this was it: IceBomb 18000 — any Ice flavor
You do not have to. The IceBomb 18000 is 3% (30 mg), the same as ICEMAX — rare in a class where nearly everything is 5%. And if you would rather set the strength yourself, a refillable pod system lets you choose instead of taking whatever the disposable ships with.
If this was it: ICE BOMB Pod Vape Kit
A disposable at $16.99 for 12,000 puffs is roughly $1.42 per 1,000. The refillable ICE BOMB Pod Kit starts at $14.99 and gets cheaper every time you replace a pod rather than the whole device.

Ten of the sixteen ICEMAX flavours are tea or Asian-beverage profiles, which is why the pods answer more rows than the disposable does. If you are browsing rather than replacing one specific flavour, the tea vape flavours collection lists every tea device we carry.
Still have an ICEMAX? Two things worth knowing
It will keep working. A discontinued device is not a recalled device. Nothing about ICEMAX stops functioning because the line ended — use it normally until the e-liquid runs out.
Do not stockpile from unfamiliar sellers. When a device is discontinued, remaining stock gets scarce and counterfeits fill the gap. That is the moment to be careful about where you buy. The FDA guidance on electronic nicotine delivery systems is a reasonable starting point if you want the regulatory picture, and our guide to spotting counterfeit devices covers the packaging tells that apply across brands.
Never attempt to open, puncture, modify or repair the battery inside a disposable device.
