ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000 Flavour Guide: Which One Should You Choose?

The ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000 is known for its gold-coloured body, curved rectangular design and side-mounted LED display. However, one of the main reasons the range has attracted attention internationally is its wide variety of fruit, berry, cooling, mint and confectionery-inspired flavour names.

Choosing between these profiles can be difficult, especially when different sellers publish different flavour lists or use slightly different names for similar combinations.

This guide groups the publicly advertised ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000 flavours by taste profile and explains which options may appeal to adults who prefer sweet, sour, icy, tropical or more restrained flavours.

The recommendations below are based on published product names and retailer descriptions rather than an independent laboratory analysis or hands-on taste test.

Important Australian notice: Australia regulates all vaping products as therapeutic goods. Lawful retail supply is generally restricted to participating pharmacies for smoking cessation or the management of nicotine dependence. Permitted therapeutic vape flavours are limited to mint, menthol and tobacco. Fruit, candy and beverage-style flavours mentioned in this article should not be interpreted as legally available Australian therapeutic products.

What Is the ALIBARBAR INGOT 9000?

The INGOT 9000 is a prefilled, non-rechargeable device with a distinctive gold exterior.

Published manufacturer specifications list:

The manufacturer describes the range as having approximately 25 standard flavours plus additional mystery variants. However, the actual selection can change between production batches, regions and sellers.

The official brand site also highlights the side LED display, which is intended to provide real-time information about remaining battery power and liquid level.

Use this quick guide to identify the style that most closely matches your usual preference.

Berry Flavours

Berry profiles make up a large part of the publicly advertised INGOT 9000 range.

Blackberry Pomegranate Cherry

This is one of the more layered dark-fruit combinations.

The published profile combines:

• Blackberry
• Tart pomegranate
• Rich cherry

It is likely to appeal to adults who prefer deeper fruit flavours rather than a simple single-fruit sweetness. An Australian-facing flavour list describes it as a layered dark-fruit combination with tart and rich elements.

Estimated sweetness: Medium to high
Estimated cooling: Low to medium
Best suited to: Dark-fruit flavour preferences

Blackberry Ice

Blackberry Ice combines a dark berry profile with a strong cooling finish.

The manufacturer describes it as blackberry sweetness accompanied by an icy or mint-like sensation.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: High
Best suited to: People comparing fruit-and-ice profiles

Black Forest

Black Forest is presented as a combination of:

• Blackberry
• Blackcurrant
• Raspberry

The official product description characterises it as a layered berry blend, combining the deeper sweetness of blackberry with blackcurrant tartness and raspberry aroma.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Complex mixed-berry preferences

Ribena

Ribena is generally presented as a blackcurrant cordial-style profile.

Compared with a light blueberry or strawberry option, this name suggests a richer, darker and more concentrated berry character. It appears on both official and Australian-facing INGOT 9000 product lists.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Strong blackcurrant-style flavours

Blueberry Mint

Blueberry Mint combines a sweet berry base with a fresher finish.

An Australian-facing listing describes the profile as sweet blueberry paired with cool mint.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: Medium
Best suited to: Users who find pure menthol too simple

Quadruple Berry

The name suggests a multi-berry blend rather than one dominant fruit.

It may suit people who prefer a broad mixed-berry character, although the precise four-fruit composition is not consistently described across public listings.

Estimated sweetness: Medium to high
Estimated cooling: Varies
Best suited to: Mixed-fruit flavour preferences

Tropical Flavours

Tropical profiles usually combine mango, pineapple, passionfruit, coconut, banana or lime.

Passionfruit Mango Lime

This combination brings together:

• Sweet mango
• Tart passionfruit
• Sharp lime

It is one of the more balanced tropical names because the lime can offset the heavier sweetness normally associated with mango.

The flavour appears on Australian-facing INGOT listings as well as broader brand product selections.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated tartness: High
Estimated cooling: Low to medium
Best suited to: Tropical flavours with a citrus edge

Mango Magic

Mango Magic is generally positioned as a ripe mango-focused option.

One Australian listing describes it as a smooth mango profile with subtle peach and citrus elements.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Adults who prefer rich tropical fruit

Strawberry Coconut Watermelon

This is one of the most complex fruit combinations in the range.

It brings together:

• Strawberry sweetness
• Coconut creaminess
• Watermelon freshness

The official store maintains a dedicated INGOT 9000 product page for this variant, while Australian-facing listings also include it in their flavour selections.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Creamy tropical fruit combinations

Strawnana

Strawnana combines strawberry and banana.

The profile is usually described as fuller and creamier than a simple berry flavour. One Australian listing compares it with a strawberry-and-banana smoothie-style blend.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Smooth and creamy fruit preferences

Kiwi Pineapple

Kiwi Pineapple combines sharp kiwi with sweeter pineapple.

This should theoretically be brighter and more acidic than Mango Magic or Strawnana.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated tartness: Medium to high
Best suited to: Bright tropical fruit combinations

Banana Buzz

Banana Buzz is likely to be one of the heavier and sweeter fruit profiles.

It appears on several Australian-facing INGOT 9000 lists, although detailed official flavour notes are limited.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Strong banana-style flavours

Icy and Refreshing Flavours

The INGOT range includes several names using “Ice”, normally indicating an added cooling finish.

Watermelon Ice

Watermelon Ice combines a light melon profile with a pronounced cooling sensation.

It may be easier to understand than more complicated mixed-fruit options because the central flavour is clearly identified. The manufacturer maintains a dedicated Watermelon Ice product listing.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: High
Best suited to: Simple, refreshing fruit profiles

Grape Ice

Grape Ice combines sweet grape with a colder finish.

The flavour appears in both official INGOT listings and Australian-facing selections.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: High
Best suited to: Sweet fruit with strong cooling

Peach Ice

Peach Ice is likely to offer a softer fruit base than Grape Ice or Blackberry Ice.

The manufacturer maintains a dedicated INGOT 9000 Peach Ice listing.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: Medium to high
Best suited to: Lighter stone-fruit profiles

Cool Mint

Cool Mint is the most direct mint-style name in the range.

An Australian-facing listing describes it as a clean menthol-focused profile without additional fruit.

Estimated sweetness: Low
Estimated cooling: High
Best suited to: Straightforward cooling profiles

Miami Mint

Miami Mint is described by one Australian-facing listing as a cool spearmint-style profile.

Compared with Cool Mint, it may be interpreted as slightly softer and more aromatic rather than purely cold.

Estimated sweetness: Low to medium
Estimated cooling: Medium to high
Best suited to: Spearmint-style freshness

Citrus and Sour Flavours

Pink Lemon

Pink Lemon is generally presented as a pink-lemonade-style profile combining tart citrus with sweeter berry notes.

An Australian-facing product description characterises it as tart lemonade with a sweet berry component.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated tartness: High
Best suited to: Sweet-and-sour flavour preferences

California Sunset

California Sunset has been described by Australian-facing retailers as a bright, fizzy orange-citrus profile. Some listings compare it with an orange soft-drink-style flavour.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated tartness: Medium
Best suited to: Citrus and beverage-style flavours

WTF-Grapefruit

WTF-Grapefruit appears in the official INGOT 9000 product range and is positioned as a grapefruit-focused variant.

Grapefruit profiles are normally sharper and slightly more bitter than lemonade-style flavours.

Estimated sweetness: Low to medium
Estimated tartness: High
Best suited to: Adults who prefer less conventional citrus profiles

Grape Grapefruit

This profile combines sweet grape with sharper grapefruit.

An Australian-facing listing describes it as sweet grape paired with tangy pink grapefruit.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated tartness: Medium
Best suited to: Contrasting sweet-and-sharp fruit combinations

Candy-Inspired Flavours

Skittles

Skittles is presented as a mixed-fruit candy profile.

It is likely to be sweeter and less natural-tasting than a single-fruit profile such as Watermelon Ice or Peach Ice. The name appears in multiple Australian-facing INGOT listings.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Mixed candy-style preferences

Yellow Starburst

Yellow Starburst is described by one Australian-facing listing as a lemony, tropical candy profile.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated tartness: Medium
Best suited to: Citrus confectionery-style flavours

Chupa Chups Strawberry

This name suggests a strawberry boiled-sweet or lollipop-style profile.

It is more likely to appeal to people who prefer strong confectionery sweetness than those looking for a natural strawberry taste.

Estimated sweetness: High
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Strawberry candy-style profiles

Traditional and Unusual Profiles

Double Apple

Double Apple appears on the official INGOT 9000 product site and Australian-facing listings.

The name is commonly associated with a stronger, layered apple profile rather than a simple fresh green apple.

Estimated sweetness: Medium to high
Estimated cooling: Low
Best suited to: Strong apple flavour preferences

FTP Blackberry Dragon Fruit

The official product catalogue identifies FTP as a Blackberry Dragon Fruit variant.

Blackberry provides a darker berry base, while dragon fruit is generally associated with a lighter tropical character.

Estimated sweetness: Medium
Estimated cooling: Varies
Best suited to: People comparing unusual mixed-fruit combinations

Tobacco

Tobacco is the most traditional profile name in the public range.

Unlike the fruit and candy variants, tobacco is one of the three flavour categories permitted for therapeutic vaping products under Australian standards. However, the flavour name alone does not mean that a particular INGOT 9000 product meets TGA standards or is eligible for Australian pharmacy supply.

Original

The official store has also displayed an INGOT 9000 variant labelled Original. Public descriptions do not consistently explain its exact flavour profile, so consumers should not assume it is identical to tobacco or unflavoured.

Important Information for Australian Readers

Australia does not operate a normal general-retail vape market.

Since the 2024 reforms, all vapes—whether or not they contain nicotine—can generally only be sold through participating pharmacies for smoking cessation or the management of nicotine dependence. Vape shops, tobacconists and convenience stores cannot lawfully sell vaping products.

Therapeutic vape flavours are restricted to:

• Mint
• Menthol
• Tobacco

The TGA’s strengthened standards, effective from 1 July 2025, also introduced stricter requirements for permitted ingredients, labelling, packaging, device design and battery safety.

The TGA issued an enforcement direction in October 2025 concerning unlawful vape supply at a Melbourne business. The list of seized goods specifically included the Alibarbar Ingot 9000, demonstrating that local physical or online availability should not be treated as proof of lawful Australian supply.

Therefore, the fruit, berry, tropical and candy profiles covered in this guide should be understood as documentation of the international and publicly advertised product range—not as a recommendation to purchase them outside Australia’s legal therapeutic framework.

Final Verdict: Which Flavour Profile Stands Out?

For readers comparing the international flavour range purely by published profile:

• Strawberry Watermelon is the safest all-round fruit concept.
• Watermelon Ice is the clearest cooling-fruit option.
• Blackberry Pomegranate Cherry offers the most layered dark-fruit combination.
• Passionfruit Mango Lime provides the strongest tropical sweet-and-sour contrast.
• Pink Lemon is suited to tart lemonade-style preferences.
• Ribena stands out for a rich blackcurrant-style profile.
• Miami Mint may appeal to people seeking a softer mint profile.
• Cool Mint is the most straightforward high-cooling option.
• Skittles is the obvious candy-style choice.
• Strawberry Coconut Watermelon is one of the most unusual creamy fruit blends.

For Australian adults, however, the main decision should not be based only on flavour. The exact product must be lawfully supplied through the therapeutic pharmacy framework and comply with current TGA requirements.

The manufacturer advertises approximately 25 standard flavours plus mystery variants. Public online lists may show more names because ranges change, variants are renamed and some products may be discontinued.

What is the best

 fruit flavour?

There is no objective best flavour. Strawberry Watermelon is a straightforward mixed-fruit option, while Blackberry Pomegranate Cherry provides a darker and more layered profile.

Which INGOT 9000 flavour is the coldest?

Based on public flavour descriptions, Cool Mint, Blackberry Ice, Grape Ice and Watermelon Ice are among the strongest cooling-style options.

Which flavour is least sweet?

Cool Mint, Miami Mint, WTF-Grapefruit and Tobacco are likely to be less confectionery-like than Skittles, Yellow Starburst or Chupa Chups Strawberry.

Is California Sunset the same as Fanta?

Some Australian-facing listings describe California Sunset as an orange soft-drink-inspired profile. Product names and formulations may vary, so they should not automatically be treated as identical.

Are fruit-flavoured INGOT 9000 devices legal to sell in Australia?

Australian therapeutic vape flavours are restricted to mint, menthol and tobacco. Fruit, candy and beverage-style products are not permitted therapeutic flavour categories under the current standards.

Can I buy INGOT 9000 from an Australian vape shop?

The official ALIBARBAR brand site warns that its products may contain nicotine. Exact composition and concentration should be confirmed from the product label and lawful pharmacy documentation rather than assumed from the model name.
