Kiwi

What kiwi actually tastes like on its own

Kiwi is an unusual fruit to build a vape around, because the thing that makes it recognisable is not sweetness at all. Bite into a ripe green kiwi and the first sensation is a bright, almost citric sourness, followed by a soft melon-like flesh and that faint grassy edge that comes from the seeds and the skin sitting so close to the pulp. It is juicy without being syrupy, and the aftertaste is clean rather than clinging. Translated into e-liquid, that profile reads as a thin, sharp, green note that lifts everything around it and then gets out of the way.

That is precisely why you will not find a single-fruit kiwi product anywhere in this category. All eight items here pair kiwi with at least one other fruit, and five of them pair it with two. A kiwi-only liquid would taste oddly hollow on a pod device, because the profile has plenty of acid and aroma but very little body underneath it. Blenders treat kiwi the way a cook treats lime juice or a splash of vinegar: a small, precise amount that makes the rest of the dish taste sharper and more defined, not a main ingredient you serve on its own.

The green tartness, and where it sits on the palate

If you pay attention while you vape a kiwi blend, the kiwi element tends to announce itself early and then fade. On the inhale it arrives as a quick, slightly tannic sourness across the middle of the tongue. By the time the vapour has warmed and you are into the exhale, the sweeter partner fruits have taken over and the kiwi has become a background texture rather than a flavour you can name. That front-loaded behaviour is useful, because it stops a sweet tropical blend from tasting flat on the first draw of the day.

The grassy quality matters too. Kiwi carries a vegetal, faintly leafy undertone that reads as freshness without any menthol being involved. It is the reason kiwi blends often feel cooler and cleaner than their sugar content would suggest, and the reason they rarely need an ice component to stay drinkable. If you want the cooling done properly with menthol instead, that is a different shelf entirely, and our Ice and Menthol range covers it in far more depth than any fruit-only recipe could.

Why kiwi is almost never a solo act

Fruit blending in vape liquid works on three layers: a top note you smell and taste first, a body that carries the sweetness and fills the mouth, and a base that decides how long the flavour lingers after you exhale. Kiwi is a natural top-note fruit with a thin body and almost no base at all. Put it alone in a 2ml pod and the first few puffs are pleasant and bright, but by the tenth puff your palate has stopped registering it, because nothing underneath is holding the flavour in place.

Pair it with a heavier fruit and the arithmetic changes immediately. Strawberry, watermelon and guava all bring body and residual sweetness that kiwi lacks; kiwi brings the acid and lift that all three of those fruits lack on their own. This is why every product in this category is a blend, and why the eight items here really only represent three distinct recipes. Understanding those three recipes properly is far more useful than memorising eight product names.

Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava: how three fruits divide the work

Five of the eight kiwi products in this category are the same blend: Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, usually shortened to KPG by people who vape it regularly. It is the single most widely formatted flavour in the whole Lost Mary line-up we stock, available as a BM6000 pod, a BM600 pod, a Nera 15k pod, a Tappo pod and a 10ml bottled nic salt. When a manufacturer puts one recipe into five different delivery systems, it is generally because that recipe sells across every kind of customer, from the pocket-device buyer to the refill-tank user.

What makes it work is a genuinely clever division of labour between three fruits that each do one job and stay out of each other's way. Most three-fruit blends turn muddy because the components overlap; this one does not, because kiwi, passion fruit and guava occupy three completely different parts of the flavour spectrum. Below is what each one actually contributes, in the order you tend to notice them.

Kiwi supplies the green tartness

Kiwi is the opening move. It hits first, it is sour rather than sweet, and it carries that faint leafy note described above. Its job in KPG is to stop the other two fruits from arriving as an undifferentiated wall of sugar. Without the kiwi, passion fruit and guava together would taste like a generic tropical punch; with it, there is a defined edge at the start of every draw that resets your palate between puffs. Vape a KPG pod alongside a plain guava or mango liquid and the difference in clarity is obvious within a few draws.

Passion fruit supplies the sharp aromatic top

Passion fruit is the loudest of the three and the one that survives being turned into vapour best. It is intensely aromatic in the way that a ripe mango or a pineapple is not: floral, slightly sulphurous in a pleasant way, tangy and unmistakable. In KPG it sits just behind the kiwi on the inhale and then carries through the whole exhale, which is why the blend smells so strongly of passion fruit to anyone standing near you even though kiwi is the first word on the label. It also overlaps slightly with kiwi's acidity, which is what makes the front half of the draw feel so bright.

Guava supplies the thick sweet body

Guava is the anchor. It is a dense, almost creamy tropical fruit with a musky pink sweetness and a texture in the mouth that neither kiwi nor passion fruit can provide. In the blend it does almost nothing on the inhale and then arrives in force on the exhale, coating the palate and giving the flavour its length. Remove the guava and you would have a sharp, thin, acidic liquid that nobody could vape all day. Its presence is the reason KPG works as an all-day flavour rather than a novelty.

The result is a blend with a proper arc to it: sour and green at the front, floral and tangy through the middle, thick and sweet at the back. That arc is what people are describing when they say KPG tastes "three dimensional" compared with a simple two-fruit mix. It is also why the flavour holds up so well as a pod gets low, which is not true of every tropical recipe on the shelf.

The same flavour in five formats: how to choose

This is the only category on the site where you can buy one identical flavour concept in five genuinely different ways, which makes it the right place to explain format choice properly. The liquid is formulated separately for each device, so it is not literally the same juice decanted five ways, but the flavour target is the same and most people find the versions close enough that switching between them does not feel like changing flavour. What changes is everything around the liquid: how much you get, how you load it, how the device draws, how much it costs per millilitre and how much of it you have to carry.

The table below maps the five KPG products against the practical differences that actually decide which one suits you. Prices and exact strengths vary by product and are shown on each individual product page, so treat the capacity and format columns as the fixed facts and check the listing itself for the rest.

Product	Format	Capacity	Refillable	Best suited to
Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill by Lost Mary	Prefilled pod plus refill for the BM6000 pod kit	2ml per pod, supplied with a refill	No, pods are replaced	Main all-day device users who want the widest flavour library
Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava BM600 Prefilled Pods by Lost Mary	Prefilled pods for the BM600 pod kit	2ml per pod	No, pods are replaced	Light or occasional vapers and second-device buyers
Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nera 15k Prefilled Pod + Refill by Lost Mary	Prefilled pod plus refill for the Nera 15k Fullview kit	2ml per pod, supplied with a refill	No, pods are replaced	People who want the Fullview window and a larger device in hand
Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava Tappo Prefilled Pods by Lost Mary	Prefilled pods for the compact Tappo system	2ml per pod	No, pods are replaced	Pocket and handbag carry, discreet use, commuting
Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nic Salt E-Liquid by Lost Mary	10ml bottled nic salt	10ml per bottle	Yes, you fill your own device	Refillable pod kit owners and anyone buying by the millilitre

What stays the same across all five

The flavour balance is the constant. Whichever one you pick, you get the same green-sour opening, the same floral passion fruit through the middle and the same thick guava finish. Nicotine is another near-constant: bottled nic salts in this line are commonly offered at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, and prefilled pods are commonly 20mg/ml with 10mg/ml options on some lines, all of it under the UK ceiling of 20mg/ml. Every one of them is an 18+ product and age verification applies at checkout without exception.

What genuinely changes

• Device size. A Tappo disappears into a coat pocket. A BM6000 is noticeably larger in the hand, and the Nera 15k is larger again, with the Fullview window taking up most of one face.
• Capacity per unit. Every prefilled pod is capped at 2ml by UK rules. The 10ml bottle gives you five times that volume in a single purchase.
• Loading. Pods click in and are thrown away when spent. Bottles mean unscrewing a fill port, squeezing, waiting for the wick to soak and repeating every couple of millilitres.
• Cost per millilitre. Bottled liquid in this range starts at £2.95 for 10ml. Pods start higher per millilitre because you are buying the coil and the housing along with the juice.
• Carrying spares. Four spare pods take up more room than one 10ml bottle but need nothing else with them; a bottle needs the device and a tissue.

Running one flavour on two devices

Because KPG exists in so many formats, it is the easiest flavour on the site to standardise on. A reasonable setup is a BM6000 or Nera as the device that lives on your desk and a Tappo in your jacket for when you are out, both running the same blend so your palate never has to switch. Another common approach is a pod device for convenience during the week and the 10ml bottle in a refillable kit at home, where the fiddle of filling does not matter. Buying the same flavour twice in two formats sounds wasteful, but it removes the single most annoying thing about running two devices, which is the flavour clash when you swap between them mid-afternoon.

A note on the two spellings

You will see this flavour written both as "Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava" and as "Kiwi Passionfruit Guava" depending on the product. The BM6000, BM600 and Tappo pods use the three-word spelling; the Nera 15k pod and the 10ml nic salt use the compressed one. It is a labelling inconsistency, not two different recipes, and it is worth knowing about because searching for one spelling will not always surface the other. If you are hunting for a specific format, search on the device name as well as the fruit.

Strawberry Kiwi: kiwi as a tartness donor

The second recipe in this category is Strawberry Kiwi, which appears twice: once as the Strawberry Kiwi BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill by Lost Mary and once as Strawberry Kiwi BM600 Prefilled Pods by Lost Mary. Where KPG uses kiwi as one of three equal partners, Strawberry Kiwi uses it as a corrective. Strawberry is the star of the blend and kiwi is there to stop the strawberry going soft and jammy, which is what strawberry liquids do when nothing sharp is holding them up.

What kiwi actually fixes in a strawberry blend

Strawberry on its own in e-liquid form tends toward a cooked, confected character rather than the fresh fruit. It is sweet, slightly perfumed, sometimes a little creamy, and it sits low and heavy on the palate. Add a measured amount of kiwi and three things happen at once: the opening gets a sour lift, the perfume is cut back so the fruit reads fresher, and the finish shortens slightly so the blend stops coating your tongue. The overall sweetness level barely drops; what changes is how sweet it feels, which is a different thing.

If you already know you like fruit liquids on the sweeter side, this is the kiwi product to start with. It is far closer to a conventional berry vape than KPG is, and it makes an easy step across from anything in our Strawberry category, which carries nineteen products built around the same fruit in different combinations. Strawberry Kiwi is effectively a strawberry liquid with the volume turned down on the sugar and up on the freshness.

The BM6000 and BM600 versions compared

Both versions target the same balance, but the devices behave differently enough that you will notice. The BM6000 pod comes with a refill and runs on a larger, rechargeable device, so the draw is a little warmer and the strawberry side reads slightly richer as a result. The BM600 pod is the lighter of the two in every sense: smaller device, cooler vapour, and a blend that comes across as crisper and more kiwi-forward simply because less heat is being applied to it. Neither is more accurate than the other; they suit different preferences.

The practical difference is commitment. If you are unsure whether you want a fruit-and-berry blend as your main flavour, the BM600 pods are the lower-stakes way to find out. If you already know you want it as an all-day option, the BM6000 version puts it on a device with a far bigger flavour library behind it for when you want to rotate. There is more on device choice further down this page.

Watermelon Kiwi and the light tropical end

The third and final recipe here is Watermelon Kiwi, available as the Watermelon Kiwi BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill by Lost Mary. It is the lightest of the three kiwi blends by a clear margin, and the one most likely to suit someone who finds tropical liquids cloying. Watermelon in vape form is watery, faintly sugary and very clean, with none of the density of guava or the jamminess of strawberry. Put kiwi against it and you get a blend that is almost refreshing in the literal sense.

A thinner, cleaner tropical

The two fruits here are closer in weight than in either of the other recipes, which changes the structure of the draw. Instead of a sour opening and a sweet finish, Watermelon Kiwi delivers something more even from start to end: mild tartness all the way through, a light sugary middle and a short, clean finish that does not linger on the palate. That short finish is the defining feature. It makes the blend easy to vape continuously without palate fatigue, and it makes it a good partner flavour for anything you are eating or drinking at the same time.

It also makes it the least assertive of the three. If you want a flavour that announces itself, this is not it. If you have been running something heavy and want a palate reset without going to menthol, it does that job well. The same logic applies across the wider Watermelon category, where the fruit consistently plays the light, hydrating role in whatever it is blended with.

The three kiwi recipes side by side

Here is the whole category reduced to its three actual recipes, which is the comparison most people need before they buy. Read across the row that matches how sweet you like your fruit liquids and the format decision becomes much easier.

Recipe	Partner fruit or fruits	Sweetness level	Character	Formats you can get it in
Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava	Passion fruit and guava	High, with a sharp front	Layered tropical with a long, thick finish	BM6000 pod, BM600 pod, Nera 15k pod, Tappo pod, 10ml nic salt
Strawberry Kiwi	Strawberry	High, softer and rounder	Berry-led, fresher than a plain strawberry	BM6000 pod, BM600 pod
Watermelon Kiwi	Watermelon	Moderate, the lightest of the three	Clean, even, short finish, low fatigue	BM6000 pod

Two things stand out from that table. The first is how heavily the category leans on one recipe: five of eight products are KPG, and the other three are split between two simpler blends. The second is that format choice narrows sharply as you move down the table. If you want Strawberry Kiwi you are choosing between two devices, and if you want Watermelon Kiwi you are choosing the BM6000 or nothing. Only KPG gives you a genuinely free choice of hardware, which is another reason it is worth understanding that blend properly before you commit to a device.

If none of the three quite lands, the neighbouring fruit categories are the obvious next stop rather than a different brand. The Tappo range carries seventeen pod flavours including Tropical Fruit and Apple Watermelon, and the bottled Nic Salts and E-Liquids shelf runs to thirty products from £2.95, which is the cheapest way to try a profile before committing to pods for it.

Prefilled pod versus 10ml bottle: what actually changes

Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava is one of the few flavours where you can make this comparison without changing anything else, because the pod and the bottle target the same profile. That makes it a useful test case. People tend to assume the difference between a prefilled pod and a bottle of nic salt is only about convenience, but there are four separate variables in play: volume, cost, flavour consistency over time and what you have to carry. Only one of those is really about convenience.

Volume and the maths of the 2ml cap

UK rules cap any prefilled pod or tank at 2ml of liquid, and cap a bottle of nicotine-containing e-liquid at 10ml. That single pair of numbers drives most of the practical differences. One 10ml bottle of Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nic Salt E-Liquid holds the same volume as five prefilled pods. If you get through roughly a pod a day, a bottle is most of a working week in one item small enough to sit in a jacket pocket. If you get through a pod every three days, a bottle is a fortnight.

That volume advantage is real, but it only converts into value if you already own a device that takes bottled liquid. Prefilled pods include the coil, the wick, the mouthpiece and the housing in the price; the bottle includes none of that. Comparing them purely on price per millilitre is the most common mistake people make when they first look at the numbers, because the pod price is buying hardware as well as juice.

Flavour consistency from first puff to last

A prefilled pod is sealed at the factory and opened at the moment you click it in, which means the liquid inside has had no contact with air, light or your fingers. You get a fresh coil with every pod, so the flavour profile you taste on pod number ten is essentially the flavour you tasted on pod number one. That consistency is the strongest argument for pods with a layered blend like KPG, where the guava base is the first thing to suffer when a coil starts to tire.

A refillable setup works the other way round. The first fill on a new coil is excellent, the next few are very good, and then the flavour flattens progressively as residue builds on the coil. With a sweeter tropical blend that flattening arrives sooner, because the sugars in the flavouring are what caramelise onto the wire. Nothing is wrong with this, it is simply a maintenance job that pods do not ask of you. If you are refilling, plan to change the coil rather than waiting for the flavour to tell you.

What you end up carrying

• Pod user, out for the day. Device in one pocket, a spare pod in the other. Nothing leaks, nothing needs a flat surface, nothing takes more than five seconds to swap.
• Bottle user, out for the day. Device plus a 10ml bottle. Filling in public means finding somewhere to stand still, and any overfill needs wiping.
• Pod user, week away. Five or six pods take real space and cost more than the equivalent bottle.
• Bottle user, week away. One bottle covers the trip, plus a spare coil if you are being thorough.

Most people who vape regularly end up doing both, which is exactly why having one flavour available in both formats is worth something. Our Prefilled Pods and Refills section runs to 142 products from £4.95, and the bottled shelf sits alongside it, so switching format without switching flavour is a genuine option rather than a theoretical one.

Choosing a device: BM600, BM6000, Tappo or Nera

If you are buying KPG you have four devices to choose between, and the choice matters more than the flavour decision because you will live with the hardware for months. The four differ in size, in how long a charge lasts, in how warm the vapour runs and in how big the flavour library behind them is. That last point is easy to overlook and is often the one people regret ignoring, because a device with few flavour options becomes frustrating once the novelty of your first choice wears off.

The BM600: smallest commitment, coolest draw

The BM600 pod kit is the entry point. Pods are prefilled and clip straight in, the device is light, and the draw is on the cool side, which suits tart fruit blends particularly well. Both Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava BM600 Prefilled Pods and Strawberry Kiwi BM600 Prefilled Pods are stocked, so two of the three kiwi recipes are available on it. Cool vapour flatters the kiwi element specifically: less heat means less of the sweet base coming through and more of the green, acidic top.

The trade-off is battery and library. A smaller device means more frequent charging, and the BM600 pod range is narrower than what sits behind the larger kits. As a first device or as a second device for evenings out, it makes complete sense. As the only device you own, you may find yourself wanting more choice within a couple of months.

The BM6000: the widest flavour library

The BM6000 is the workhorse of the range and the reason most people end up on it. It is a prefilled pod and refill system with a rechargeable body and replaceable pods, and it carries by far the biggest flavour library on the site at 57 products. All three kiwi recipes exist on it, which no other device can claim: Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, Strawberry Kiwi and Watermelon Kiwi are all available as BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill items.

That library is the real argument. Buying into the BM6000 means that when you tire of tropical you can move to Latte, Blackcurrant Lemonade, Triple Melon, Cherry Peach Lemonade or anything else on that shelf without changing hardware. It is also the device that gives you access to the wider fruit families, so if kiwi eventually leads you toward heavier tropicals you can step across to something from our Mango category or into the darker berry end without buying a second kit.

The Tappo and the Nera: two opposite extremes

The Tappo is the compact option, a small prefilled pod system with seventeen flavours including Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava Tappo Prefilled Pods. Its appeal is entirely about size and discretion. It fits a handbag or an inside pocket without announcing itself, which makes it the obvious commuter device. There is also a Lost Mary Tappo Prefilled Pods [Box of 10] if you want to buy a run of pods in one go rather than singly.

The Nera 15k sits at the other end: a larger Fullview pod kit with a window that shows the liquid level, supplied as a prefilled pod plus refill. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nera 15k Prefilled Pod + Refill is the kiwi entry on it. There is a Nera 30k Fullview Pod Kit in the range as well. The Nera is a hold-in-your-hand device rather than a pocket one, and people choose it for the window and the presence rather than portability. If you would rather buy device and pods together to start with, the Vape Kits section carries seven complete kits including the BM6000, BM600, Nera 15k and Nera 30k.

Why pods are not cross-compatible

This trips people up constantly, so it is worth stating plainly. A BM6000 pod does not fit a BM600 device, a Tappo pod does not fit a Nera, and none of them are interchangeable in any direction. Each system uses its own pod shape, its own connection and its own coil resistance matched to that device's output. Buying the right flavour in the wrong pod format is the single most common ordering error in the whole range, and it is easy to make here precisely because KPG exists in four different pod shapes. Read the device name in the product title, not just the fruit.

Nicotine strengths across the kiwi products

Nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml in the UK, and everything in this category sits at or below that ceiling. Beyond the cap, the pattern across the range is reasonably consistent: bottled nic salts are commonly offered at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml with some lines at 5mg/ml, and prefilled pods are commonly listed at 20mg/ml with 10mg/ml options on some lines. The BM6000 kit itself is listed in 10mg and 0mg variants, which is the only place in this part of the range you will find a zero-nicotine option.

How strength interacts with a tart blend

Nicotine salt has a flavour of its own, and at 20mg/ml it contributes a faint peppery sharpness at the back of the throat. On a sweet, heavy blend that extra edge is often welcome because it cuts through the sugar. On a blend that already has a sour opening, like any of the kiwi recipes, the two sharp sensations can stack up and make the first draw feel more aggressive than expected. People moving from a sweet dessert profile to KPG at the same strength frequently report exactly this and assume the flavour is wrong when it is really the combination.

If that describes you, the 10mg/ml version of the same product is usually the better fit rather than a different flavour. You keep the tropical profile and lose the collision at the back of the throat. Strengths do vary from product to product across the range, so always check the figure shown on the individual product page rather than assuming every kiwi item is listed the same way.

Choosing a strength you will not have to change

• Heavy, frequent use through the day. Lower strengths tend to suit this pattern, because you are taking more draws in total.
• Occasional use, long gaps between sessions. Higher strengths suit this better, since each session is short.
• Two devices running at once. Matching strengths across both stops one device feeling wrong when you swap.
• Zero nicotine. The BM6000 Prefilled Pod Kit is listed in a 0mg variant, which is where to start if that is what you want.

It is worth saying again that every product discussed on this page is for adults aged 18 or over only. Age verification applies at checkout and deliveries are 18+ only, with no exceptions made for any product, strength or format.

Cost, capacity and the 2ml pod cap

Once you understand the 2ml and 10ml limits, working out what a flavour will actually cost you becomes straightforward arithmetic. The complication is that pods and bottles are not comparable on a per-millilitre basis alone, because a pod includes hardware that a bottle does not. The honest way to compare them is to look at what you get for the money in each case and what else you need to own for that purchase to work.

What each format includes in the price

Format	Liquid you get	Included with it	Also need to own	Category price from
10ml bottled nic salt	10ml	Bottle and nozzle only	A refillable device and spare coils	£2.95
Prefilled pod	2ml per pod	Coil, wick, mouthpiece, housing	The matching device	£4.95
Prefilled pod plus refill	2ml per pod, supplied with a refill	Coil, wick, mouthpiece, housing, refill	The matching device	£6.95 on BM6000
Complete vape kit	Varies by kit	Device, charging port, starting pods	Nothing to begin with	£4.95

Read that table as a sequence rather than a menu. Most people start with a complete kit, move on to buying pods for it, and then some of them add a bottle-fed device later once they know which flavours they want in quantity. Jumping straight to bottles without the hardware to use them is how people end up with a 10ml bottle of Kiwi Passionfruit Guava and nothing to put it in.

Making a pod last as long as it should

A 2ml pod does not hold much, so the difference between getting full value and wasting a third of it comes down to habit. Letting a pod run completely dry before you notice is the most common way to shorten its life, because the coil scorches and the last of the liquid tastes burnt. Storing pods somewhere very warm, such as a car windscreen shelf in summer, thins the liquid and can cause seepage into the airway. Neither problem is dramatic, but both are avoidable.

There is also a flavour-specific point here. Sweeter tropical blends like KPG leave more residue behind than a light citrus or a plain menthol would, so a pod running this blend will generally taste tired slightly sooner than the same pod running something from our Blueberry category or a simple ice profile. That is normal and is a function of the sugar content in the flavouring, not a fault with the pod. Rotating between a heavy blend and a lighter one is the usual way people manage it, which is covered in more detail further down.

Where kiwi sits in the wider tropical family

"Tropical" is doing a lot of work as a label, and it covers at least three distinct styles in this range. There is the sharp aromatic style built on passion fruit, the dense sweet style built on mango and guava, and the light juicy style built on pineapple and melon. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava is unusual because it straddles the first two: passion fruit gives it the aromatic sharpness of the first style and guava gives it the density of the second. Knowing which style you actually like is more useful than knowing which fruits are on the label.

KPG next to Tropical Fruit, Hawaii Sunrise and Pineapple Passionfruit

Three neighbouring blends in the range are worth understanding, and none of them live in this category. Tropical Fruit, available as a Tappo pod, is the generalist: a rounded mixed-fruit profile with no single dominant note, which makes it easy to vape and harder to get excited about. Hawaii Sunrise, a BM6000 pod, sits in the brighter, juicier end with more of a citrus and sunrise-punch character. Pineapple Passionfruit, also a BM6000 pod, shares half its ingredient list with KPG but swaps kiwi and guava for pineapple, which pushes the whole thing sharper and more acidic with a much shorter finish.

That last comparison is the instructive one. Pineapple Passionfruit and Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava both lead with passion fruit, but where guava adds body and length, pineapple adds a second layer of acid. If you find KPG slightly too rich on the exhale, Pineapple Passionfruit is the logical next step, and the wider Pineapple category carries twelve products working the same territory. If you find KPG about right but want less green sharpness at the front, a mango-led blend is the better direction.

Which families kiwi blends sit comfortably next to

• Passion fruit and guava blends share the KPG backbone directly and are the closest neighbours of all.
• Mango blends take the sweet-and-dense side of KPG further and drop the tartness almost entirely.
• Melon blends take the light, clean side further, which is the Watermelon Kiwi direction.
• Berry blends are where Strawberry Kiwi points, and they usually come with more perfume and less acid.
• Citrus blends share kiwi's acidity but not its body, so they read as sharper and thinner overall.

Rotating flavours without losing the plot

Palate fatigue is real, and it hits layered blends like KPG harder than simple ones because there is more to get used to. The standard fix is to keep two flavours in rotation that share no ingredients, swapping between them every day or two so neither becomes invisible. A tropical blend and a crisp orchard fruit from our Apple category work well as a pair, as does a tropical blend and something cool from the mint end. Pairing KPG with another tropical defeats the purpose, since the palate treats them as the same thing after a day.

Getting a clean tropical flavour out of your pod

Layered fruit blends reward a bit of care, and KPG in particular will tell you immediately if something is wrong, because the guava base is the first element to disappear when a pod is unhappy. None of the following is complicated, but all of it makes a noticeable difference to how the flavour reads over the life of a pod.

Priming a new pod properly

When you click in a fresh pod, the wick inside is dry. Draw on it immediately at full force and you will pull liquid past a wick that has not absorbed anything yet, which produces a thin, slightly burnt first few puffs and can leave the coil permanently dulled. Leave a new pod sitting in the device for a few minutes before the first draw, then take two or three short, gentle pulls before settling into your normal rhythm. On a thick, sweet blend that soak time matters more than it does on a thin menthol, because the liquid moves through the wick more slowly.

Avoiding flavour ghosting between pods

Swap straight from a rich tropical to a crisp mint and the first several draws of the mint will taste faintly of guava. That is ghosting, and it comes from residue left in the device's airway and mouthpiece rather than from the new pod. A quick wipe of the connection and the inside of the mouthpiece with a dry tissue removes most of it. Leaving the device open to the air for ten minutes before fitting the new pod removes most of the rest. It is a thirty-second job that stops you blaming a perfectly good pod for a flavour that is not its fault.

The same principle applies in reverse. If you are moving from something cool and sharp into KPG, expect the first few draws to read oddly flat, because the residue of the previous flavour is masking the guava. Give it five minutes of normal use before judging it. This is the single most common reason people conclude a new flavour is disappointing.

Storage, heat and the sweetness problem

Store pods and bottles somewhere cool, dark and upright. Heat thins e-liquid, which encourages seepage through the pod's seals and into the airway, and light slowly degrades the flavour compounds, with the delicate floral notes in passion fruit going first. A drawer is fine. A windowsill, a car dashboard or the top of a radiator is not. Bottles of nic salt keep perfectly well for months in a cupboard and do not need anything more elaborate than that.

Sweetness is the other variable to plan around. Heavy sweetener content in any blend builds residue on a coil faster, so a pod running KPG will generally give you a shorter window of peak flavour than the same pod running something lean. Rotating a sweet blend with a lighter one, rather than running the sweet one continuously, spreads that wear out. Anything from our Mint category makes a good counterweight, as do the cleaner cherry profiles.

Who each kiwi product suits

Eight products, three recipes, four devices and two nicotine formats is more choice than it sounds, so here is the short version. Match yourself to the description that fits and the product almost picks itself.

By how you vape

• All-day main device, wants a big flavour library behind it. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill, on a BM6000 kit. The 57-flavour library means you never have to change hardware to change direction.
• Commuter who wants something pocketable. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava Tappo Prefilled Pods. Small, discreet, and there is a box of ten if you want a longer run in one order.
• Light or occasional user, or buying a second device. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava BM600 Prefilled Pods or Strawberry Kiwi BM600 Prefilled Pods. Lower commitment, cooler draw, crisper reading of the kiwi.
• Wants the larger device and the Fullview window. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nera 15k Prefilled Pod + Refill, on a Nera 15k or Nera 30k kit.
• Already owns a refillable pod kit and buys by volume. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava Nic Salt E-Liquid, 10ml, from £2.95 on the bottled shelf.

By what you want from the flavour

• Layered, sweet, long finish. Any of the five Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava products.
• Berry-led with a fresh edge. Strawberry Kiwi, on BM6000 or BM600.
• Light, clean, low fatigue. Watermelon Kiwi BM6000 Prefilled Pod + Refill.
• Zero nicotine. Start with the BM6000 Prefilled Pod Kit - 0mg from the kits shelf and check the strengths listed on individual pods.

If none of those descriptions fits, the useful move is sideways rather than deeper. A sharper, more acidic profile points toward citrus or a red fruit; the Cherry category alone runs to twenty-seven products across every format in the range, which is more choice than kiwi will ever give you.

Ordering from us

We are an independent UK retailer stocking the Lost Mary range, so everything described on this page is available to order directly rather than through a brand store. Prices in this category start from £2.95 and the eight kiwi products span every format the range offers, which is unusual for a category this size.

Delivery, dispatch and what it costs

UK delivery is free on orders over £20, and every order is dispatched tracked so you can follow it from our end to yours. Because prefilled pods are capped at 2ml each, orders in this category tend to be several items rather than one, which means the £20 threshold is easy to reach if you are buying a run of pods or combining pods with a bottle. Ordering one flavour in two formats, as described earlier on this page, is a sensible way to get there without buying anything you were not going to use.

Age verification and who can buy

Every product on this page is for adults aged 18 or over only. Age verification is carried out at checkout, deliveries are 18+ only, and we do not make exceptions for any product, strength or format, including zero-nicotine items. If you cannot complete verification, the order will not be dispatched. Nicotine-containing e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml and bottles are capped at 10ml under UK rules, and every item we list complies with those limits.

If you are not sure what to order

Buy the cheapest version of the flavour first. For Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava that means the 10ml bottle if you already own a refillable device, or a single pod for whichever device you already have. Committing to a box of ten or a complete kit before you know whether the guava finish suits you is how people end up with pods they do not reach for. Once you know the blend works for you, buying in quantity and crossing the free delivery threshold makes obvious sense.

Frequently asked questions

How many kiwi flavours are there, and how do they differ?

There are eight kiwi products but only three recipes. Five of them are Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, sold as a BM6000 pod, a BM600 pod, a Nera 15k pod, a Tappo pod and a 10ml bottled nic salt. The remaining three are Strawberry Kiwi, available on BM6000 and BM600, and Watermelon Kiwi, available on BM6000 only. Choosing the recipe first and the format second is the simpler way round.

What does Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava actually taste like?

Each fruit does a different job. Kiwi arrives first as a green, slightly tart opening with a faint leafy edge. Passion fruit takes over through the middle with a loud floral, tangy aroma that carries across the exhale. Guava sits underneath both of them, adding a thick musky sweetness that gives the blend its length. The result runs sharp at the front and rich at the back.

Why is the flavour spelled two different ways on the labels?

The BM6000, BM600 and Tappo pods are listed as Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, while the Nera 15k pod and the 10ml bottle are listed as Kiwi Passionfruit Guava. It is a labelling inconsistency rather than two separate recipes, and both target the same blend. It matters only when you search, because one spelling will not always return products listed under the other.

Will a BM6000 pod fit a BM600, Tappo or Nera device?

No. Every pod system in the range uses its own pod shape, connection and coil resistance matched to that specific device. A BM6000 pod will not fit a BM600, a Tappo pod will not fit a Nera, and none of them work in any direction. This catches people out most often with Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, precisely because it exists in four different pod shapes. Check the device name in the product title.

Is the 10ml bottle better value than buying pods?

On volume alone, yes: a 10ml bottle holds the same liquid as five prefilled pods, since pods are capped at 2ml each. But the comparison is not like for like. A pod price includes the coil, wick, mouthpiece and housing, while a bottle includes none of that. The bottle only makes sense if you already own a refillable device and keep spare coils for it.

Which kiwi product is the sweetest, and which is the lightest?

Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava is the richest of the three, with a thick guava base that lingers on the exhale. Strawberry Kiwi is similarly sweet but rounder and softer, since strawberry brings less density than guava does. Watermelon Kiwi is clearly the lightest: even from start to finish, moderately sweet, with a short clean finish that makes it easy to vape continuously without palate fatigue.

What nicotine strengths do the kiwi products come in?

UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg/ml. Bottled nic salts across this range are commonly offered at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, with some lines at 5mg/ml. Prefilled pods are commonly listed at 20mg/ml with 10mg/ml options on some lines. The BM6000 Prefilled Pod Kit is also listed in 10mg and 0mg variants. Strengths vary by product, so check the figure on the individual product page.

Why does my new kiwi pod taste burnt on the first few puffs?

Almost always because the wick was still dry. A fresh pod needs a few minutes sitting in the device before the first draw so the liquid soaks in, followed by two or three short gentle pulls before you settle into a normal rhythm. Thick, sweet blends move through a wick more slowly than thin menthols, so this blend needs a little more patience than most.

Can I run the same kiwi flavour on two different devices?

Yes, and this category is the easiest place to do it. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava exists on four devices plus a bottle, so a larger BM6000 or Nera at home and a Tappo in your pocket can both run the same blend. Keeping one flavour across both devices removes the palate clash you normally get when swapping between two different liquids mid-day.

How do I stop one flavour ghosting into the next pod?

Residue left in the airway and mouthpiece is the culprit, not the new pod. Wipe the connection and the inside of the mouthpiece with a dry tissue, then leave the device open to the air for around ten minutes before fitting the replacement. Expect a few odd draws either way when moving between a rich tropical blend and something cool and sharp.

What are the delivery and age rules when I order?

UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and every order is dispatched tracked. All of these products are for adults aged 18 or over only, age verification is carried out at checkout, and deliveries are 18+ only with no exceptions for any product, strength or format. Orders that fail verification are not dispatched. Prefilled pods are capped at 2ml and nicotine bottles at 10ml.

Which flavours should I try next if kiwi is not quite right?

If Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava is slightly too rich on the exhale, Pineapple Passionfruit pushes the same passion fruit lead in a sharper, more acidic direction with a shorter finish. If you want less green tartness at the front, a mango-led blend is the better move. Tropical Fruit on the Tappo is the rounded generalist, and Hawaii Sunrise on the BM6000 sits at the brighter, juicier end.
