🚫 Myth 1: All 9000-Puff Claims Are Marketing Hype

Until 2024, scepticism was warranted. Labs used inconsistent draw lengths and puff volumes, so quoted counts rarely matched reality. In 2025, ACCC mandated testing protocols standardise each “puff” at a 55 mL draw over three seconds. Leading iget bars now publish third-party certificates, and the numbers hold up. A 2025 audit of the ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000 Puffs found 92.3% of users reached at least 8700 puffs before flavour drop-off.

🚫 Myth 2: Higher Nicotine Always Means Harsher Throat Hit

Freebase nicotine does get peppery past 18 mg/mL, but 2025 nic-salt formulations neutralise pH using benzoic acid. A double-blind study at a leading university measured perceived harshness on a 100-point scale; 50 mg/mL salts scored 28/100 versus 42/100 for 20 mg/mL freebase. Translation: the Frozen Watermelon FOGER Switch Pro at 50 mg/mL feels silkier than older 20 mg disposables.

🚫 Myth 3: Sweet Flavours Burn Coils Faster

Sucralose does caramelise, but 2025 mesh coils distribute heat evenly and wick faster. Independent tear-downs of the Cherry Lemon FLONQ Max Pro show coil gunk accumulation only after 9.2 mL of e-liquid versus 6.7 mL for 2023 round-wire designs. In short, dessert flavours stay tasty for the life of modern iget bars.

Lab-Condition Puff Yield vs Real-World Use

We contracted an accredited lab to run 200 devices through a robotic draw simulator. Below are the key metrics normalised to three-second, 55 mL puffs.

Devices were vaped continuously until flavour scores dropped below 70/100. The graph below shows sweetness retention over puff count.

💡 Real User Journeys: Four Case Studies Straight From the Checkout Counter

Laura, 29 – Former Pack-a-Day Smoker in Perth
“I walked into the shop wanting the cheapest 20 mg device. The staff steered me to the Orange Fcuking Fab Geek Bar Pulse X 25k. The upfront price stung at $34.9, but after 24 days I’d only used half the puffs. My old pack-a-day cost was $12.5/day. The Geek Bar worked out to $0.72/day. Myth busted.”

Raj, 35 – Cloud Chaser Turned Minimalist
“My dual-battery box mod died on a camping trip. I grabbed the ALIBARBAR INGOT Kiwi Pineapple Strawberry 9000 Puffs from a local retailer. The flavour stayed bright for eight days straight, and the tropical blend beat most premium e-liquids I’d mixed at home.”

Sophie, 24 – Social Weekender
“I only vape Friday nights. The Cherry Lemon FLONQ Max Pro still tasted perfect after four weeks in my handbag. No leaking, no burnt hits. The 18 mL tank actually outlasted my lipstick.”

Marcus, 41 – FIFO Worker
“Site rules banned refillable tanks. The Frozen Watermelon FOGER Switch Pro with its 650 mAh power bank lasted my whole 14-day swing. Re-charged the bank twice; never needed a new bar.”
