BIMO Felxy 40000 Strawberry Kiwi Pod Australia
A refill pod for a base you already own. Nothing in here is powered and none of the adjustments are in here either, so if you do not have a Felxy 40000 base then the Kit is what you want, not this listing.
Strawberry and kiwi have been blended in this category often enough that most people already have an opinion about them, and that opinion is usually wrong in a specific way. The pairing is not delicate in the way its reputation suggests. It is one of the more robust combinations on the platform, and the reason is that both halves are built from different parts of the fruit. That robustness has a consequence for buying, and it is the reason this pod is the easiest refill on the base to commit to.
Why neither half here is holding the profile up
Most blends fall apart late in a pod because one fruit was doing all the structural work while the others just added aroma. The straw goes soft, the body goes with it, and what is left is perfume. That is not what happens here.
Strawberry carries its character in a very large ensemble of volatile esters, with no single compound doing the job alone, which means there is no one molecule whose loss can take the taste down. It is also the most commonly reproduced fruit in this entire category, which means formulators have had more practice at keeping it readable than at keeping almost anything else.
Kiwi works differently and in a way that matters here. Its green, sharp edge comes from one specific aldehyde rather than from its acid, and acid is not what you are tasting when you taste kiwi. Kiwi is also acidic in the background in a way strawberry is not, which means it contributes structure as well as aroma.
So the blend has an aromatic half and a structural half, and the structural half does not evaporate. Late in the fill, strawberry thins out, kiwi comes forward, and what you get is a cleaner, sharper, less sweet drink. That is the opposite of the usual late-pod outcome, where the loss reads as a fault.
How the two halves divide the work
| Strawberry | Supplies the sweetness and the aroma. Built from many volatile esters rather than one, so it thins rather than vanishes |
|---|---|
| Kiwi | Supplies the acid, the structure and the green edge. Its sharpness comes from aroma rather than from sourness |
The one thing on this pod that genuinely goes wrong
There is no cooling in the fill, so the ice control is a clean addition rather than a correction. It can be used freely and it is the fastest way to make this pod read as a colder drink, because the base supplies cooling at four discrete levels rather than the fixed amount a prefilled sealed device would carry.
What it will not do is add ice to the recipe, and that is worth being blunt about, because searches for a strawberry kiwi ice version of this option carry real volume in Australia and this product is not one of them. There is no cold in the fill here at all. What you get is a strawberry and kiwi pod that you can make colder through your base, which is a different thing from a product that was made with a cooling additive in it, and anyone ordering this expecting the iced version should order one of the profiles on this base that is labelled ice.
That said, on this particular blend the ice control does something worth exploiting. Because the green edge of the kiwi sits close to the cold sensation in perception, adding cooling on top of it lifts the sharpness rather than dulling it, which is the opposite of what happens on a dry or bitter profile. So the cold setting on this pod is closer to a taste control than a temperature control, and the top position is genuinely usable here.
Wattage barely matters. The profile has no dry finish and no heavy structure to develop, so 15W and 25W produce something close to the same drink at different volumes. Airflow is the useful one: opening it lifts the strawberry, because that half is carried by the air, and closing it lets the kiwi acid come through.
How this one behaves against the others you may already run
Worth spelling out, because this pod is often bought on the assumption that a two-fruit blend is a compromise and a single fruit is a specialist. On this base the relationship is closer to the reverse.
Against a single dark fruit, this pod is the reset. It is lighter, less sweet and it does not leave a coating behind, so it is the natural thing to fit after something heavy rather than before it. Against a cold profile, it is the neutral one: it has enough fruit to register clearly and no cooling of its own to argue about, which means the ice setting you leave it on will not fight with the next pod in the drawer.
Against the other two-fruit pods on this platform, this is the one that stays balanced. Blends built around two soft fruits tend to narrow as they empty, because both halves fade at a similar rate and the profile loses its spread. Here one half is aroma and the other is structure, so the spread actually widens. If your previous experience of blended pods has been that they taste flat past the halfway mark, that experience does not transfer here.
One caution on the pairing with the ice control. Because cooling on this profile raises the perceived sharpness rather than softening it, it is easy to overshoot into something that reads as harsh rather than cold, particularly with a wide open draw. If the top ice setting starts to feel abrasive rather than fresh, the fix is to close the airflow rather than to turn the cooling down, because closing the draw reduces the volume of vapour carrying the green edge.
Why this is the pod to buy in quantity
Most refills on this base reward you for saving them, because the taste you liked was in the first half. This one does not. Both halves keep working, the balance simply shifts from sweet to sharp, and neither version is a disappointment. That makes it the most reliable pod in the range for anyone who wants to buy a stack and not think about it.
There is a second reason, and it is about combinations rather than quantity. This is the pod to have fitted when you want something between two heavy tastes, because it reads as clean and resets the palate without leaving you with nothing at all. It sits naturally between a rich dark fruit and a cold one, and it is the pod most likely to be the reason someone keeps a rotation going instead of cycling through the same three.
One practical note on fitting it. Run a dry cloth over both mating surfaces before you push it home. fill on that magnetic contact is the reason a new pod sometimes seems not to seat, and there is nothing to open, fill or service at any stage.
Strawberry Kiwi pod details
| This listing contains | One prefilled pod. Base not included, and none of the controls are on the pod |
|---|---|
| Fill and connection | 26 ml sealed pod, magnetic fit, removed by pulling off |
| Cooling inside the pod | None. All of it comes from the ice control on your base, which on this profile raises the sharpness as well as the cold |
| Wattage | Either. There is no dry finish here that a higher setting would develop |
| Airflow | Open for more strawberry, closed for more of the kiwi edge |
| Second half of the pod | Less sweet and cleaner, with the kiwi in front. Not weaker, just a different balance |
| Recommended quantity | Several. This is the refill on this base that rewards buying in a stack |
| Puff count | The 40,000 figure applies to the base and the pod range together and is no guide to one fill |
Does this pod come with the device?
No. There is no battery or electronics inside a pod. If you have no base yet, order the Kit instead of this refill.
Is this an iced version?
The fill carries no cooling. Your base has four ice settings that will make it taste colder, but the pod itself was not made with an iced recipe, and the distinction matters if you are ordering specifically for a cold version.
Why has it become more sour near the end?
The sweetness was carried by the strawberry half, which thins out, while the kiwi half that supplies the acid stays. Nothing has gone wrong; the balance has simply shifted towards the sharper fruit.
Can I top it up when it runs low?
No. It is a sealed prefilled pod. Replace it with another one rather than attempting to open or refill it.
Buy disposable vapes in Australia
Refills are where most listings go thin, because the Profile name is enough to sell the product and nothing on a typical page tells you what the last third tastes like or which setting it wants. Those are the two things that decide whether a pod gets repurchased, so they are the two things we write about. Each refill page here covers how the profile shifts across a fill, what the ice control does to that profile specifically, which direction the airflow wants, and how many to buy at once without wasting them. Brands including BIMO, IGET, ALIBARBAR, PICCO and ARVO are all listed together so you can build a rotation on purpose rather than by trial. Everything is held and shipped from within Australia, one pod is an ordinary order rather than a bulk commitment, and the technical detail sits on the page next to the price.
Why SmokeOZ?
We look at a refill pod as one part of a working device rather than as a standalone item, because that is how it actually behaves in your hand. The base holds the battery, the readout, the cooling, the power and the airflow, and the pod only supplies fill, so a page that describes the pod in isolation is describing half the product and none of the decisions. Ours covers the pairing, the settings and the timing, which means you can buy the second pod with a real idea of what it will be like rather than a guess based on the label. Stock is held on Australian soil and never leaves the country, there is no order minimum for a single refill, and the specification and the price are published on the same page so nothing has to be requested by email.
