Analyst: Sarah J. (The Sweet Tooth)
“I hunt for the ‘Sugar Rush’. If a vape doesn’t taste like candy or dessert, I’m bored. Code Red is my current obsession.”
The Profile: Deconstructing Code Red
Code Red is not a subtle flavor. It is designed to be intense. This flavor profile is a cornerstone of the RAZ RX 50K Dew Edition, a series explicitly crafted to replicate popular American sodas. But does it actually taste like the drink, or just generic fruit?
The Inhale: Maraschino Cherry Explosion
The first second of the draw is dominated by a heavy, dark cherry note. Unlike the Black Cherry Peach found in the RAZ TN9000, which leans towards a natural stone fruit taste, Code Red leans heavily into Maraschino Cherry. It’s that bright, candied red cherry flavor you find in cocktails or on top of sundaes. It coats the tongue instantly with a thick layer of sweetness.
The Exhale: Citrus & Carbonation
This is where the “Dew” magic happens. Just as the cherry sweetness peaks, a wave of zesty citrus—specifically lime and orange—cuts through. This acidity is crucial; without it, the flavor would be too cloying. The RAZ Vape engineers have added a specific cooling agent (likely a variation of WS-23) that doesn’t just cool the throat but simulates the “fizz” or “bite” of carbonation. It leaves your mouth feeling tingly, exactly like you just took a sip of soda.
Hardware Stress Test: The RX 50K Factor
Why is this flavor exclusive to the RX 50K? Because soda flavors are coil killers.
The sweeteners required to make Code Red taste authentic (Sucralose and Ethyl Maltol) tend to caramelize and gunk up smaller coils quickly. The RAZ RX 50K Dew Edition utilizes a massive, reinforced Dual Mesh Coil system designed specifically for these “heavy” liquids.
- Wicking Speed: The RX 50K wicks fast enough to keep the cherry notes from tasting burnt, even after 5,000 puffs.
- Temperature Control: The device maintains a slightly warmer vapor temperature, which enhances the “syrupy” texture of the soda profile.
- Longevity: In our lab tests, the flavor intensity of Code Red only dropped by 10% after the 30,000 puff mark. That is industry-leading performance.
The Dew Edition Family Tree
Code Red is the “Aggressive” sibling in the Dew family. Here is how it compares to the other colors in the lineup. If you find Cherry too strong, one of these might be a better fit.
| Flavor (Dew Edition) | Primary Note | Sweetness Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code Red (This Review) | Cherry Citrus | 10/10 (Highest) | Sweet Tooth Vapers |
| Code Green | Classic Lime Soda | 8/10 | Citrus Lovers |
| Code Pink | Strawberry Lemonade | 9/10 | Berry Fans |
| Code White | Mystery Pineapple | 7/10 | All-Day Vaping |
Market Battle: Code Red vs. The World
We don’t live in a bubble. We know you’re comparing RAZ to other brands. Here is an honest, head-to-head comparison with other top-tier disposables.
VS. Geek Bar Pulse (Cherry Bomb)
The Difference: Geek Bar’s Cherry Bomb is more floral. It tastes like a cherry blossom tea mixed with fruit. RAZ Code Red is strictly candy/soda.
Winner: If you want authenticity, Geek Bar wins. If you want sugar rush, RAZ wins.
VS. Lost Mary MO20000 (Cherry Lemon)
The Difference: Lost Mary focuses heavily on the lemon zest, making it quite sour. RAZ Code Red uses the citrus only as a background note to support the massive cherry sweetness.
Winner: RAZ Code Red offers a thicker, denser vapor production due to the RX 50K’s higher wattage output.
⚠️ Vaper’s Tongue Warning
Analyst Note: Because Code Red is extremely flavorful and sweet (10/10), it can cause “Vaper’s Tongue” (loss of taste) if vaped exclusively for 3-4 days straight.
My Advice: Rotate this flavor with a “palate cleanser” like Miami Mint or Clear. Keep Code Red for your after-dinner treat or weekend vape.
Final Verdict
RAZ Code Red is a love letter to American soda culture. It’s loud, sweet, and incredibly satisfying for those with a sweet tooth. The RX 50K hardware ensures that this complex flavor stays consistent from the first puff to the 50,000th.
