JNR takes a less-is-more approach to flavors. While brands like RAZ and Geek Bar compete with catalogs of 50–100+ options, JNR's US lineup is just 10 flavors — and that's deliberate. Every flavor in the collection uses a US-developed, sugar-free formula that JNR claims is designed specifically for their 1.2Ω dual mesh coil system. After spending two weeks rotating through all ten in both the P4 Stellarc and P5 GlassRock, I can say the quality-per-flavor is consistently high — even the options I didn't love were well-crafted. The question isn't whether JNR's flavors are good. It's whether 10 options are enough.
My Top 5 JNR Flavors — Ranked
Before the full breakdown, here are the five I'd recommend first. These rankings are based on flavor accuracy, how well they hold up over extended sessions (JNR pods last thousands of puffs — flavor fatigue is a real factor), and overall enjoyment.
| # | Flavor | Why It Stands Out |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blue Razz Ice | The best all-around JNR flavor. Bold blue raspberry candy sweetness with a sharp ice finish that keeps it from becoming one-note. Holds up exceptionally well over long sessions. |
| 2 | Mexican Mango | The standout non-menthol option. Rich, ripe mango with a tropical nectar sweetness that avoids the artificial candy taste most mango vapes fall into. Genuinely tastes like fruit. |
| 3 | Miami Mint | Clean spearmint without the sharp menthol burn. If you want a palate cleanser between fruity flavors or a reliable all-day mint, this is the one. |
| 4 | Lemon Heads | The most unique flavor in the lineup. Nails the sour lemon candy profile perfectly — tart on the inhale, sweet on the exhale, with that nostalgic Lemonhead wrapper taste. |
| 5 | Watermelon Ice | A safe, universally likeable pick. Clean watermelon sweetness with medium ice. Not the most exciting option, but it's impossible to dislike. |
All 10 JNR Flavors — Detailed Tasting Notes
Every flavor below is available for both the P4 Stellarc and P5 GlassRock — JNR uses the same flavor lineup across all US-edition devices. All pods ship at 5% (50mg) nicotine salt. I've organized them into two groups: icy/menthol and non-menthol.
Icy & Menthol Flavors (5 Options)
Blue Razz Ice ⭐ #1 Pick
The inhale delivers that classic blue raspberry candy sweetness — tangy, bold, and unmistakably artificial in the best way (think Jolly Rancher, not fresh berries). The ice hits on the exhale with a sharp cooling sensation that cuts through the sweetness without overpowering it. What makes this JNR's best flavor is the balance: the sweetness doesn't build up and become cloying even after hundreds of puffs, which is a real problem with many blue razz formulas. The sugar-free formulation helps here — there's no syrupy residue that coats your tongue.
Best for: Everyone. This is the universal starter flavor and JNR's clear best-seller for good reason.
How it compares: RAZ's Blue Razz Ice is slightly sweeter and more candy-forward. Lost Angel's version has a sharper ice kick. JNR sits right in the middle — the most balanced of the three.
Watermelon Ice ⭐ #5 Pick
Clean, straightforward watermelon sweetness — juicy and refreshing without any of the soapy or artificial aftertaste that plagues bad watermelon vapes. The ice component is moderate: enough to feel cooling, not enough to numb your tongue. It's the kind of flavor that works in any situation — morning, afternoon, after a meal — because it never demands attention. The downside is that it's almost too safe. After a week of exclusive use, it started fading into the background.
Best for: People who want something light, refreshing, and zero-risk. A reliable second pod to alternate with something bolder.
How it compares: Very similar to Foger's Watermelon Ice in sweetness level, but JNR's ice is slightly more restrained. Lost Angel's Watermelon Ice is sweeter and juicier overall.
Miami Mint ⭐ #3 Pick
This is spearmint, not menthol — an important distinction. Where menthol vapes hit you with an aggressive cooling burn in the throat, Miami Mint delivers a smooth, herbal mint flavor that's cool without being cold. It's the vaping equivalent of chewing fresh mint leaves versus popping an Altoid. The flavor stays remarkably consistent from the first puff to the last on a pod, probably because there's no sweetener component to degrade as the coil ages.
Best for: Menthol lovers who find most mint vapes too harsh. Also excellent as a palate cleanser between fruity flavors if you run two pods.
How it compares: Softer and more herbal than RAZ's Cool Mint. Less intense than Lost Angel's Alaskan Mint. If you prefer gentle over aggressive, JNR wins this category.
Sour Apple Ice
Green apple tartness dominates the inhale — genuinely sour, not just "apple-flavored." The ice component is stronger here than in Watermelon Ice, creating a combination that feels almost effervescent, like biting into a frozen Granny Smith. It's the most polarizing of the five icy flavors: people who like sour candy profiles will love it, but if you prefer sweet and smooth, this might be too aggressive.
Best for: Sour candy fans who want something with bite. Pairs well as an afternoon pick-me-up flavor.
How it compares: Noticeably more tart than Foger's Sour Apple Ice. Closer in sourness to Lost Angel's version, but with better ice integration.
Strawberry Kiwi Ice
Two-layer flavor construction: ripe strawberry sweetness on the inhale, tangy kiwi on the transition, and a subtle icy finish on the exhale. The kiwi is the star here — it adds a tartness that prevents the strawberry from becoming generically sweet. The ice is the lightest in the icy lineup, barely perceptible compared to Blue Razz Ice or Sour Apple Ice. If you want fruit with just a whisper of cooling, this hits the spot.
Best for: People who want a fruity profile with minimal ice. Good transitional flavor for anyone moving away from heavy menthol.
How it compares: More kiwi-forward than most strawberry kiwi vapes on the market. RAZ's Strawberry Kiwi is sweeter and heavier on the strawberry side.
Non-Menthol Flavors (5 Options)
Mexican Mango ⭐ #2 Pick
This is the flavor that surprised me most. Where most mango vapes taste like mango candy (artificially sweet, one-dimensional), Mexican Mango tastes like actual ripe mango — the kind you'd get from a street vendor in Playa del Carmen. There's a nectar-like depth to the sweetness, with subtle tropical undertones that might be papaya or guava. Zero menthol, zero ice. Just warm, rich, unapologetically tropical fruit. It's the most "premium" tasting flavor in JNR's lineup and the one I'd use to convince skeptics that disposable flavors can be genuinely good.
Best for: Anyone who doesn't want menthol. Mango lovers who've been disappointed by artificial-tasting alternatives. All-day vape material.
How it compares: More natural and less candy-sweet than RAZ's Mango Peach. Similar vibe to Lost Angel's Tropical Mango but richer and more layered.
Strawberry Watermelon
A straightforward fruit medley — sweet strawberry paired with juicy watermelon. Neither fruit dominates; they blend into a smooth, easy-going sweetness that's pleasant but not particularly complex. No ice, no sour notes, no surprises. It's the kind of flavor you'd never complain about but might not actively seek out either. Works best as a "default" pod when you don't feel like thinking about what flavor you want.
Best for: People who want sweet fruit without menthol or sour notes. Low-risk choice for gifting since almost everyone finds it acceptable.
How it compares: Very similar profiles exist across every major brand. Neither better nor worse than the competition — this is a commodity flavor done competently.
White Peach Raspberry
The most sophisticated flavor in JNR's non-menthol lineup. White peach provides an aromatic, floral sweetness on the inhale — more perfumed and delicate than standard peach flavors. The raspberry adds tartness on the exhale that balances the sweetness and prevents it from becoming cloying. It's not a bold flavor; it's a subtle one that rewards attention. The kind of profile that grows on you over a few days rather than impressing immediately.
Best for: Vapers with more refined palate preferences. Works particularly well after meals as a dessert-adjacent flavor without the heaviness of actual dessert vapes.
How it compares: Unique in this price range. Most competing brands don't offer a white peach option. The closest comparison is Geek Bar's Peach Ice, but that's a completely different (icy, mainstream) profile.
Lemon Heads ⭐ #4 Pick
Named after the classic American sour candy, and it delivers. The inhale is aggressively tart — a sharp, puckering lemon sourness that wakes up your entire mouth. The exhale softens into a powdery, candy-sweet finish that perfectly mimics the feeling of biting through a Lemonhead's sour shell into the sweet core. It's the most complex flavor JNR makes: sour, sweet, tart, and candy-like in rapid succession. The sugar-free formula actually enhances this one — there's no lingering sweetness gumming up the sour notes.
Best for: Sour candy lovers. Anyone bored of the standard fruit-ice formula. Genuinely fun flavor that makes you want to share it.
How it compares: Nothing comparable from RAZ, Foger, or Lost Angel. This is JNR's most original flavor and one of the more unique options in the entire disposable market.
Sour Fcuking Fab
The mystery flavor. JNR doesn't officially disclose the exact profile, and after extensive testing, I'd describe it as: sour berry candy with hints of tropical fruit, layered with a light icy kick. It's somewhere between a sour gummy bear and a frozen berry slushie. The "mystery" aspect is real — it shifts slightly depending on temperature and how hard you draw. Bold and attention-grabbing on first use, though some people find the sweetness level a bit high for extended sessions.
Best for: Adventurous vapers who like surprises. Good "party" flavor to pass around and have people guess what it is.
How it compares: Reminiscent of Lost Angel's Fcuking Fab (likely the same base formula adapted for different hardware). JNR's version has slightly more ice and less sweetness.
JNR vs Competitors — Flavor Lineup Comparison
Here's how JNR's flavor strategy compares to the other pod-system brands we carry:
| JNR | Foger | Lost Angel | RAZ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total US Flavors | 10 | 28+ | 23 | 100+ |
| Icy / Menthol | 5 | 12+ | 9 | 40+ |
| Non-Menthol Fruit | 4 | 10+ | 10 | 30+ |
| Candy / Dessert | 1 | 4+ | 4 | 20+ |
| Tobacco | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Sugar-Free Formula | All 10 | No | No | No |
| Nicotine (US) | 5% | 5% | 5% | 5% |
| Flavor Consistency | Very High | High | High | Variable |
JNR's advantage is consistency: with only 10 flavors and a sugar-free formula, every single option is well-tuned and performs reliably across both devices. The disadvantage is obvious — if you like rotating through flavors weekly, 10 options will feel constraining fast. Brands like RAZ give you a hundred flavors to explore, but quality varies more across that wide range. It comes down to whether you prefer depth or breadth.

How JNR's Sugar-Free Formula Affects Flavor
JNR markets all US-edition flavors as sugar-free, which is unusual for the disposable market. Most competing brands use sucralose or other sweeteners to boost perceived flavor intensity — the downside being that sweeteners caramelize on coils and degrade flavor quality over time. JNR's sugar-free approach means two things in practice:
Flavors are less sweet on first puff. If you're coming from a brand like RAZ or Geek Bar, JNR's flavors will taste noticeably less candy-sweet initially. Mexican Mango and White Peach Raspberry in particular rely on natural-tasting profiles rather than artificial sweetness. Give them 50–100 puffs to break in before judging.
Flavors last longer per pod. Without sweetener gunking up the coil, JNR's flavor quality stays more consistent across the lifespan of a pod. Where a heavily sweetened competitor might taste great for 2,000 puffs and then start tasting burnt, JNR's flavors maintain their profile for 5,000+ puffs. This matters a lot given JNR's pod system — you're using each pod for thousands of puffs, not hundreds.
EU vs US Flavor Editions — What's the Difference?
JNR sells two distinct flavor collections. The US Edition (10 flavors, 5% nicotine) and the EU Edition (19 flavors, 2% nicotine) share only a few overlapping options like Watermelon Ice. The EU lineup includes flavors like Black Dragon Ice, Blueberry Pomegranate Ice, and Summer Peach Ice that aren't available in the US. If you've seen JNR flavor lists with 19+ options elsewhere, those are likely referencing the EU collection.
All pods sold on VapesOnlineShop are US Edition (5% nicotine, 10 flavors). The EU flavors are not interchangeable with US devices — they use different pod configurations and nicotine formulations. For the complete JNR brand overview including device specs and pricing, see our pillar guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best JNR vape flavor?
Blue Razz Ice is the most popular and our top-ranked pick — it offers the best balance of sweetness, tartness, and ice across extended sessions. For non-menthol fans, Mexican Mango is the standout.
Are JNR flavors the same on the P4 Stellarc and P5 GlassRock?
Same flavors, same formulas, same nicotine strength. The only difference is hardware — the GlassRock's adjustable airflow can slightly affect flavor perception (tighter draw = more concentrated flavor, looser draw = lighter and airier).
Do JNR vapes taste like real fruit?
More than most competitors, yes. Mexican Mango and White Peach Raspberry in particular taste closer to actual fruit than candy. The sugar-free formula helps — without heavy sweeteners masking the underlying flavor, you get a more natural profile.
Why does JNR only have 10 flavors?
JNR's US-developed formulas go through more extensive testing and certification than mass-produced flavors from other brands. Fewer options, but each one is refined. They also maintain separate US and EU flavor lines (19 EU flavors exist), so global output is broader.
Can I mix JNR flavors by swapping pods mid-session?
Yes — the magnetic pod swap on both devices makes this easy. Running Blue Razz Ice in one pod and Mexican Mango in the other gives you effectively two flavors on rotation. This is one of the key advantages of JNR's replaceable pod system.
How long does JNR flavor last per pod?
Flavor quality stays consistent for approximately 5,000–7,000 puffs, then gradually fades as the coil degrades. The sugar-free formula extends this significantly compared to sweetened competitors, where flavor drop-off typically starts around 2,000–3,000 puffs.
