Hey friend, summer is all about those bold, cold flavors that remind you of backyard barbecues, pool days, and chasing the ice cream truck. Two heavy hitters keep showing up in my rotation when the heat cranks up: the Bomb Pop Vape from the Kado Bar NI40000 line and the Tropical Rainbow Blast from the KB10000 series. Both promise that icy candy rush, but they deliver it in totally different ways. I’ve been switching between them for weeks now, and I figured it was time to break down the real differences so you can pick the one that fits your vibe.
The problem a lot of us run into during summer is flavor fatigue. You grab something that sounds amazing on paper, take a few hits, and then it either gets too sweet, too plain, or just loses its chill too fast in the heat. I’ve wasted money on disposables that start strong and fade quick, leaving me reaching for something else by midday. That frustration is real when you just want a consistent, refreshing vape that lasts through long days outside.
Candy-inspired vapes can turn cloying if the balance is off. Some rocket pop or rainbow candy profiles hit you with pure sugar on the inhale and nothing else on the exhale. After a few hours, your throat feels coated and you’re craving something cleaner.
Menthol or koolada sounds perfect for summer, but cheap implementations either numb your tongue or vanish after the first tank. You end up with a room-temperature candy vape when it’s 95 degrees out. Not fun.
Big puff counts look great on the box, but real-world heat drains batteries faster and can make coils taste burnt sooner. I’ve had devices that claim 10k puffs die at 7k when I’m chain vaping by the pool.
A lot of “blast” flavors give you one dominant note and call it a day. You miss the layers that make actual candy exciting, so the experience gets boring quick.
This one nails the red, white, and blue popsicle experience. You get cherry on the front, a quick lime middle, and a blue raspberry finish, all wrapped in steady ice. The layers show up clearly without fighting each other. The NI40000 chassis gives you adjustable ice and nicotine strength, plus a massive 40,000 puff rating and a big screen that shows exactly what’s left. Battery life has been rock solid for me even on hot days.
This flavor leans hard into mixed fruit candy with a tropical twist. Think pineapple, orange, banana, and assorted berries all coated in that classic rainbow belt sugar, finished with a strong koolada blast. It’s sweeter overall than Bomb Pop, but the fruit mix keeps it from feeling one-dimensional. The KB10000 model is smaller, lighter, and rated for 10,000 puffs with a simple draw-activated system. Perfect if you want something easy to toss in a beach bag.
Both devices come from Kado Bar, so build quality is solid across the board. Here’s how they stack up in daily use:
If you love that nostalgic rocket pop taste with distinct layers and want a device that lasts weeks, grab the Bomb Pop Vape. It’s my go-to when I’m out all day and need something reliable with controllable ice. When I’m in the mood for pure candy chaos and don’t want to fuss with settings, Tropical Rainbow Blast takes the win. It’s sweeter, fruitier, and the ice hits harder right out of the box.
Neither one has let me down in the heat, and both avoid that burnt taste even after heavy sessions. For something completely different when summer turns to fall, I sometimes switch to a crisp Wintergreen vape, but that’s another story.
Whichever way you lean, you really can’t go wrong here. Both deliver exactly what they promise: cold, bold, summer-ready flavor that keeps you coming back. Try one, try both, and let me know in the comments which side you land on. Stay cool out there!
