ALIBARBAR TEQ 12000 Chupa Chups Strawberry at a glance
Chupa Chups Strawberry is the sweet-shop strawberry option on ALIBARBAR TEQ 12000; the flavour name does not by itself establish a brand licence or endorsement. Vapes ALIBARBAR Australia lists this yellow-device flavour from Australian local stock for adults aged 18+. Order here and use the TEQ 12000 range page to compare Strawberry Bubblegum and Strawberry Kiwi.
One thing first, because it is the most common misunderstanding with this name: this is not a Chupa Chups product. There is no licence, no partnership and no endorsement. The name is a flavour reference in the same way that a cola flavour is not made by a cola company.
What you are buying is a sweet-shop strawberry, and it is worth being precise about which sweet-shop strawberry, because there are two and they taste nothing alike.
Sweet-shop strawberry versus bubblegum strawberry
The TEQ 12000 has two candy strawberries and they are often confused.
Strawberry Bubblegum is built on a gum base — soft, powdery, faintly floral, with strawberry layered over it as a smell. It is round and it has a waxy quality from the gum.
Chupa Chups Strawberry is built on a boiled sweet. It is harder-edged and much sweeter, with the specific sharp-sugar quality you get from a lolly rather than a gum, and the strawberry is more present as a flavour rather than only as an aroma.
If you are choosing between them: the bubblegum is softer and rounder, this one is brighter and sweeter. Most people who like one will find the other too much or too little.
How it tastes
Bright sugar first, strawberry behind it, and a long sweet finish.
The opening is the sweet-shop note — a clean, sharp sugar with none of the creaminess of gum and none of the jamminess of cooked fruit. It is higher-pitched than any of the fruit strawberries on this device and it arrives a fraction before the strawberry does.
The strawberry follows and it is unmistakably strawberry, though it is the candied version: bright, sugary, with none of the green freshness or the water of the real fruit. It sits on top of the sugar rather than underneath chupa chups strawberry.
The finish is long, clean and very sweet. There is no acid, no cooling and no bitterness, so it just fades slowly rather than resolving.
| Aspect | Reading |
|---|---|
| Sweetness | Very high — among the highest here |
| Strawberry | Candied, bright, clearly present |
| Candy type | Boiled sweet, not gum |
| Acidity | None |
| Finish | Long, clean, sugary |
What the TEQ body does to it
The yellow-shell TEQ runs warmer and looser than the 9000, and for a sharp sugar note that is not ideal.
Heat rounds sharp edges, and the sharpness is what makes a boiled sweet read as a boiled sweet rather than as syrup. On this device the opening is slightly softer than it would be elsewhere, which moves it a small way towards generic sweetness.
The looser airflow compensates partly, because more volume means more of the bright top note reaches you before it rounds off.
Net result: still recognisably a sweet-shop strawberry, but a slightly softer version than a cooler device would give you.

Against the five strawberries
The TEQ 12000 has five strawberry options and they cover the whole range:
- Chupa Chups Strawberry — candy, boiled sweet, brightest and sweetest.
- Strawberry Bubblegum — candy, gum base, softer and rounder.
- Strawberry Kiwi — fruit, tart, the most durable.
- Strawberry Watermelon — fruit, mild and wet.
- Strawberry Lychee — fruit, floral and delicate.
The two candy ones are at one end and the three fruit ones at the other. There is not much crossover.
How it holds up — Chupa Chups Strawberry
Poorly, and this is the honest answer. — chupa chups strawberry
Bright sugar with nothing to cut chupa chups strawberry is the fastest-tiring profile in the category. No acid, no tannin, no cooling, no bitterness — just sweetness and a strawberry smell. In practice it is excellent for fifteen minutes, half-strength by forty, and flat within a couple of hours.
Two things fix it. Blueberry Raspberry Lemon Ice is the best partner on this device — three draws of it and the candy comes back almost completely. Kiwi Pineapple does the same job with a softer contrast.
Used in short bursts it never reaches the flat part.

The lolly reference is used on more than one series here and the liquids are not shared. Check the photo shows the yellow-shell TEQ chassis — the TEQ 12000, not the gold-and-black standard ALIBARBAR 12000 and not the 9000.
Twelve thousand puffs is the maker's comparison number between models, not a guarantee. The printed figure is a poor guide; your draw habits are the real one.
A dead device still contains a sealed cell, so it goes to battery recycling rather than into household rubbish.
