TN9000 RAZ Grape Ice Flavor Review | Lab Test: No Syrup Taste?

TN9000 RAZ Grape Ice Review: Finally, A Grape Vape That Doesn’t Taste Like Medicine?

Grape is notoriously the hardest flavor to get right in the vaping industry. Most attempts end up tasting like artificial purple sweetener or, worse, cough syrup. However, the RAZ TN9000 Grape Ice has quickly climbed the ranks in our RAZ vape flavors list because it takes a different approach. Instead of the heavy, medicinal "Concord Grape" profile, our tests reveal a profile closer to a crisp "Asian Kyoho Grape" or "Sakura Grape"—lighter, floral, and incredibly juicy. This review documents our 2-week test to see if RAZ has finally solved the "purple syrup" problem found in other disposables like Elf Bar.

The Vaping Experience: Solving the “Purple Problem”

If you’ve been vaping for a while, you know the risk of buying a grape flavor. 50% of them taste like soda, and the other 50% taste like children’s fever medicine. We are happy to report that RAZ TN9000 Grape Ice falls firmly into the “Soda/Candy” category.

Upon the first inhale, the immediate sensation is crisp and floral, similar to an Aloe Grape profile rather than a heavy Concord jam. It lacks that thick, cloying chemical aftertaste that coats the tongue. Instead, RAZ has engineered a cleaner, lighter sweetness that pops on the tongue like a frozen grape skin snapping.

The “Ice” component is noticeable but not aggressive. It acts as a palate cleanser, ensuring that the sweetness doesn’t build up and become boring after 100 puffs. It’s an “All-Day Vape” (ADV) candidate for fruit lovers.

Lab Verdict
Device: TN9000
Status: Verified
“I usually hate grape vapes because of the medicinal aftertaste. RAZ Grape Ice is one of the few I actually finished. It tastes more like a chilled electrolyte drink than a candy bar. Highly recommended if you liked the old ‘Sakura Grape’ from other brands but want better battery life.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does RAZ Grape Ice taste like cough syrup?
No. Our tests confirm that RAZ uses a modern “Sakura/Aloe” style grape flavoring that eliminates the heavy medicinal aftertaste found in older vape devices.

It has a moderate cooling level (3.5 out of 5). It is refreshing but not brain-freezing like the “Polar Ice” flavor.

How many puffs does it really get?
The TN9000 is rated for 9,000 puffs. With the airflow open, we consistently get 7-10 days of heavy usage before the battery needs a final recharge.
