Float Disposables Are NOT Fake Flums

Flum vapes are one of the most trusted and popular brands with adult disposable vapes consumers. Mi-Pod carries a wide range of disposable vapes to provide our adult customers with a wide range of alternative nicotine products and Flum vapes are a perpetual best seller. 

Flum vapes is rebranding as Float vapes, not to be mistaken with their previous disposable vape model the Flum Float. The name change will apply to the Flum Mello and Flum Pebble models. 

Flum Vapes Rebranded as Float

Flum Vapes known for sleek device designs, smooth taste, reliable performance, a satisfying vaping experience. They feature an array of bold flavors like peach ice and lemon pineapple, which have created a loyal following. Their newest disposable vape, the Float x 10K by Flum was the first to debut the new Float Vapes name. 

The legacy Flum collection includes the Flum Float and Flum Pebble. But moving forward, they will be rebranding as Float vapes. The advanced Float x 10K powered by Flum is the first of these products. Now their traditional best-selling Flum Pebble will also adopt the Float brand name. 

 
Float Vapes Not Flum Clones

The newest inventory of vapes from Flum USA are being sold under the Float name. Float Pebbles represent newer stock, although there are still unexpired Flum Pebbles still being offered through reputable channels.

There is no drop-off in either direction. A Flum Pebble manufactured a few months back is no worse than a Float Pebble. A Float Pebble is a not Flum Pebble clone. 

Unfortunately, there are still fake vapes on the market and it is natural for customers to ask what a Float vape is, why it looks just like a Flum and if it is a clone. Check out our deep-dive for more information on the tools at your disposal: How to Spot a Fake Flum.

Float vapes are Flum vapes. They are built with the same high-quality ingredients, grade A lithium-ion batteries, advanced coil designs and consistent nicotine levels. The flavor profiles also remain identical. 

How to Avoid Fake Flums

The easiest way to avoid purchasing counterfeit or fake vapes is to purchase your disposable vapes from a trusted wholesaler or master distributor such as Mi-Pod.

• The logo has changed, but the taste, quality, and device features are identical.
• Serial numbers and authenticity codes can be verified on the official website.
• Retailers who are authorized will clearly state they sell legitimate products.

Float is not a clone; it’s the next step for Flum. The manufacturers behind Flum USA simply decided to rebrand, ensuring they stay compliant while offering customers the same reliable experience they’ve always had.

 

Why Should I Buy Authentic Float Vapes?

 There is a flip side to this argument, which is why not purchase a less expensive counterfeit Flum or Float vape. 

• Fake Float Pebbles use low-quality, reused batteries. This means they do not have the same power to support typical vape usage as a regular battery.
• Low quality batteries are also more likely to fail, making the entire exercise a waste of money and possibly a fire hazard.
• Fake Float Pebbles have no safety chip. The safety chip is installed to avoid overcharging, prevent short circuits.
  
• The lack of a chip impacts performance, as these control the output of the battery. And unregulated battery will not provide consistent output from start to finish, meaning the performance will spike and rapidly fall off as the charge runs down. 
  

E-Liquid is not made to the same quality standard. If you were to break open a counterfeit Float Pebble and compare the contents a real one, you would find a darker e-liquid with lower quality ingredients. The e-liquids are simply not the proprietary Flum formulas. They do not taste the same and without quality assurance standards there is no accounting for the nicotine strength or origin either.  
 

How to Avoid Counterfeit Vapes

Here’s a set of good ways to protect yourself from being scammed:
1.    Check the Serial Number – Every legitimate device has one.
2.    Verify on the Website – Use the manufacturer’s website to confirm authenticity.
3.    Check Retailers – Buy only from trusted distributors.
4.    Look at the Logo & Colors – Fakes often don’t match the real design.
5.    Price Too Low? – If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Customers who follow these steps can stay safe, protect their money, and avoid counterfeits.
