Strawberry Ice Cream sounds like it should be cold, but it is the "ice cream" doing the work here, not the "ice". This is a dessert flavour through and through.
What it tastes like
Think of a scoop of strawberry ice cream with a swirl of strawberry sauce. The inhale brings bright, jammy strawberry. On the exhale, a smooth vanilla cream rounds it off, and that creaminess sticks around for a while. There is very little cooling.
As creamy flavours go, strawberry ice cream is one of the easier ones to vape for long stretches. It is lighter than custard and less heavy than cheesecake or caramel. It is also a good pick for anyone who wants something comforting rather than fresh.
The POP Stix that sold it
The flavour was part of POP Vapor UK's POP Stix disposable range. The archived product page described the POP Stix as a no-button disposable with up to 600 puffs and 2% salt nicotine (20mg/ml). Liquid volume and battery size were not stated, so we do not list them.
POP Stix have been discontinued, and single-use vapes have been illegal to sell in the UK since 1 June 2025.
Strawberry ice cream from a pod
Strawberry ice cream is one of the few dessert flavours that made it into mainstream prefilled pods, which makes it easier to replace than you might expect. A prefilled pod kit is the quickest route. Elf Bar's ELFA range has a strawberry ice cream pod. You keep the rechargeable battery and swap in sealed pods of up to 2ml, the UK legal maximum.
A refillable pod kit is the better choice if you vape a lot or want to compare versions. You fill the pod from a 10ml nic salt bottle, and several brands sell strawberry ice cream nic salts. In the UK you can buy up to 20mg/ml, the same strength as the original POP Stix. Some people find 10mg/ml smoother with creamy flavours.
Creamy liquids are the hardest flavour type on coils, so expect to replace coils or pods sooner than you would with a mint or a simple fruit.

Questions people ask
Is strawberry ice cream a cold vape?
Not really. Despite the name, most strawberry ice cream flavours focus on the creamy, sweet side, with little cooling. If you want cold, look for strawberry ice instead.
Does a creamy flavour taste different in a pod kit?
Cream flavours often taste richer in a pod kit with a tighter draw. On a very airy setting they can taste thin.
How often should I change coils with dessert flavours?
More often than with fruit or mint. Creamy, sweet liquids build up on coils faster. When the cream turns flat or slightly burnt, it is time for a new coil or pod.
