Twenty-plus refill flavours sound like a nice problem when you're committed. It's a paralysing one when you're new. Most people either overthink it for days or pick three at random and end up disappointed by one.
This is the curated answer: what we'd hand a new customer if they asked us to choose, plus recommended starting sets for different kinds of user.
The five most beginner-friendly flavours
1. Crisp Mint
The universal first refill. Cool, clean and fresh, with a slight menthol sensation. Reads like real peppermint leaves rather than confectionery mint. Almost nobody dislikes it.
2. Vanilla
Comforting, gentle, never overpowering. Reads like vanilla pod rather than cupcake. The most forgiving refill in the library, and particularly good in the evening or with a hot drink.
3. Coffee
The one that wins over sceptics. Tastes like a roastery, not a syrup. Works in the morning, after meals, and as the standout warm option for ex-smokers.
4. Strawberry
The friendliest of the fruit collection. Bright and recognisable without being synthetic-sweet. Often the easiest transition for people coming off fruit-flavoured vapes.
5. Lavender
If you want calm and never loud, this is it. Floral and soft — dried flower rather than synthetic-floral. A good evening flavour.
Starting sets
The Starter Set includes five refill packs of your choice — fifteen refills in total, roughly a month to six weeks. Don't pick five of the same thing. Spread across character, and you'll find your favourites far faster.
For ex-cigarette smokers
Crisp Mint, Coffee, Vanilla as the core three, then two repeats of whichever you suspect you'll reach for most.
Crisp Mint covers the daytime replacement moments, Coffee handles mornings and after meals, Vanilla is the evening and stress option. Three contrasting characters that rotate well across a full day.
For ex-menthol smokers
Crisp Mint, Spearmint, Iced Peach. Menthol smokers tend to want the cool, slightly sharp sensation throughout the day. Crisp Mint is the boldest cool, Spearmint its softer cousin, Iced Peach adds fruit-with-cool for variety.
For ex-vapers
Strawberry, Mango, Crisp Mint. Vape flavour memory leans sweet and fruit-bright, so the fruit picks tend to feel most familiar in the first week, with Crisp Mint as the daily anchor.
For never-smoked / wellness users
Lavender, Vanilla, Green Tea. Gentle and calming, for a few intentional moments a day rather than constant use.
For the adventurous
Coffee, Maple Pepper, Cinnamon Hearts. The bold, grown-up set. Coffee anchors, Maple Pepper is the perfumer-style standout, Cinnamon Hearts is bright and sharp. Less forgiving — but if you trust your palate, this is the one.
Flavours we'd not start with
None of these are bad. They're just not where we'd begin.
- Black Licorice — polarising. You either love licorice or you don't.
- Apple — reads candy-bright. Some love it; for others it lands too sweet.
- Passion Fruit — stronger and more tropical than the other fruits. Better once you know the library.
- Cinnamon Hearts — bold and sharp. Brilliant for the right person, not a gentle introduction.
How to use your first few
Don't burn through one refill before opening the others. Open two or three at once and rotate — one in the morning, another after lunch, a third in the evening. Your nose stays fresher across multiple flavours and you'll work out your preference faster.
Keep each one capped between uses and store at room temperature. Most people find their two favourites inside a week. Bear in mind a single refill is 2–3 days of regular use, so a Starter Set gives you plenty of room to experiment before reordering.

The honest summary
If you take one suggestion from this: Crisp Mint, Coffee, Vanilla. That trio satisfies the most people across the most situations. From there the library is yours.
