Bear E-Liquid has developed over 60 flavours across their standard and Pro Max ranges, with the Pro Max specifically featuring 25 options. The most popular choices include Blue Raspberry, Rainbow, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry - flavours that have been selected to match the intensity found in other leading disposable brands.
What's worth noting is that Bear e-liquids are manufactured in the UK, which means consistent quality control and compliance with British standards. The salt nicotine formulation provides a smoother throat hit compared to freebase nicotine, making these suitable for mouth-to-lung vaping styles.
The flavour profiles span the usual categories you'd expect: fruits, menthols, desserts, and tobacco blends. Creamy Tobacco, for instance, layers woody tobacco notes with sweet cream - it's more complex than your average tobacco vape.
Are Bear Pro Max kits actually cost-effective?
When you break down the numbers, each Bear Pro Max kit replaces roughly 16-17 traditional 600-puff disposables. At current UK pricing, that represents significant savings over time, especially if you're a regular vaper.
The 75ml refill bottles take this further - at £11.99 with four salt nic shots included, you're getting 24,000 puffs for less than the cost of buying equivalent disposables. The maths is pretty compelling if you're currently spending £5-6 weekly on disposable vapes.
There's also the environmental angle to consider. Instead of throwing away 16+ plastic devices, you're reusing one device with recyclable glass bottles. It's not perfect, but it's definitely better than the alternative.
Which nicotine strengths work best with this system?
The standard Bear Pro Max comes with 20mg nicotine salt e-liquids, which suits most people transitioning from cigarettes or heavy disposable use. The 75ml refill bottles offer more flexibility - they come as 0mg base liquid with separate salt nic shots, so you can create 10mg strength by adding all four shots, or lower strengths by using fewer.
Salt nicotine absorbs faster than regular nicotine and provides satisfaction without the harsh throat hit. If you're used to 20mg disposables, the Bear Pro Max will feel familiar. If you prefer lower strengths, the refill system gives you that control.
One thing to remember - the Aspire R1 device is optimised for higher resistance coils and mouth-to-lung vaping, so it works best with salt nicotines rather than high-VG freebase liquids.
What's the charging and battery life like?
The USB Type-C charging is genuinely fast compared to older micro-USB systems. You're looking at roughly 45-60 minutes for a full charge, and the battery should last most users a full day of regular vaping.
The device will handle the 10,000 puffs advertised, though your actual mileage will vary based on how long your draws are and how frequently you vape. Heavy users might need to charge daily, whilst lighter users could go 2-3 days between charges.
There's a small LED indicator that shows battery status, though it's quite basic - just red for low battery and green when charging is complete.
