Swix Vape 9000 Review: The Short Answer
The Swix Vape 9000 is a sealed 9,000-puff disposable listed at A$45.90 on Swix Vape 9000 puffs, sold in 20 flavours, with a plain brushed-silver body that skips the screen entirely. It is one of the cheapest devices in the site's AU VAPES range — only the A$39.90 SP2 12000 comes in lower — and that is the main reason shoppers shortlist it. But A$45.90 for 9,000 puffs works out to A$5.10 per 1,000 puffs — the highest figure of any device we have priced this year. So the verdict is genuinely split: the Swix is a sensible buy if you want a smaller, simpler device and a flavour list that covers coffee, candy and dessert notes, and a poor buy if your only metric is puffs per dollar.
This review covers the specs the listing actually publishes, the full 20-flavour list, the per-puff maths, and how the Swix sits against the SP2 12000, IGET Bar Pro 10000 and IGET One 12000. Where a number is not published — battery capacity being the obvious one — we say so rather than invent it.
Swix 9000 at a Glance
Everything below is pulled from the official product listing, not from a spec sheet we have assumed:

First, the price position: at A$45.90 the Swix is cheaper than every other named device in the store's high-puff range apart from the A$39.90 SP2 12000, and it undercuts the A$49.90 IGET Bar Pro 10000 by A$4. Second, the hardware is deliberately bare. There is no percentage display, no battery icon and no airflow slider shown in any of the official photos, which tells you where the money went: into the device body and the e-liquid, not into electronics.
Design, Build and All 20 Swix Flavours
The Swix is a flat, rectangular stick roughly the shape of a lighter, finished in brushed silver with a black mouthpiece that flares into a wide duckbill. The flavour name is printed vertically down the front face, and the SWIX wordmark sits alongside it. It is a clean, almost utilitarian look — no colourways, no rubberised panels, no branding noise. If you have used box-style high-puff devices before, the hand feel will be familiar, just slimmer: a 9,000-puff rating usually means a smaller cell inside, so there is less to carry.
What the listing does not publish is battery capacity in mAh, coil resistance, or whether the cell can be recharged. We are not going to fill those gaps with guesses. If you want to understand why mAh matters when a manufacturer does publish it, our explainer on what mAh means in a vape battery covers the basics. Practically, treat the Swix as a sealed device until the packaging in front of you says otherwise, and check for a USB-C port on the base before you assume you can top it up.

The flavour list is where the Swix earns its place. Twenty options is a lot for a 9,000-puff device, and the mix leans harder into candy, coffee and dessert than the IGET and INGOT lines do. Grouped by style:
- Berry and dark fruit: Acai Bomb, Blueberry Blast, Black Cherry Pomegranate, Cherry Pomegranate, Kiwi Mulberry, Raspberry Watermelon
- Candy and soda: Blueberry Bubble Gum, Chupa Chups Grape, Skittles, Strawberry Candy, Lemon Cola
- Dessert and coffee: Banana Smoothie, Caramel Latte
- Strawberry and melon: Strawberry Lemonade, Strawberry Watermelon, Watermelon Coconut
- Tropical: Sour Mango Pineapple, Mango Peach Watermelon
- Mint and cool: Miami Mint, Blueberry Mint
Caramel Latte and Banana Smoothie are the two that stand out, because they are the kind of flavour most 12,000-class devices simply do not carry. Lemon Cola and Chupa Chups Grape sit in the same novelty bracket. If you already know you like fruit-forward profiles, the berry group is the safer starting point — and if you want a benchmark for how flavour ranges are usually organised across a brand, our ALIBARBAR models, specs and flavours guide maps the wider family.

Is the Swix 9000 Good Value? The Per-Puff Test
Sticker price is the wrong way to judge a disposable, because it ignores how many puffs you are actually buying. Divide the listed price by the advertised puff count and the picture changes quickly:
That table is the whole argument in one place. The Swix is A$6 cheaper than the SP2 up front, but it advertises 3,000 fewer puffs — so you are paying about 53 per cent more per puff. Compared with the IGET Bar Pro 10000 at A$49.90, the gap narrows: the Swix is A$4 cheaper for 1,000 fewer puffs, which is close enough that flavour preference should decide it rather than arithmetic.
None of this makes the Swix a bad device. It makes it a device you buy for reasons other than raw capacity: a lower upfront outlay, a slimmer body, or a specific flavour in the list. Our SP2 12000 review covers the value end of the same range if that is your priority instead.
Who the Swix 9000 Suits — and Who Should Skip It
It suits you if: you want to try a flavour like Caramel Latte or Lemon Cola that the bigger lines do not stock; you prefer a slimmer, lighter device in a pocket; you are buying one device to test a brand line before committing to multiples; or you simply do not get through 12,000 puffs before a device goes stale in a drawer.
Skip it if: cost per puff is your deciding metric — the SP2 12000 beats it comfortably. Skip it too if you rely on a percentage display to know when to reorder, because there is no screen here, and if you want published battery specs to compare against other devices, because the listing does not provide them. Buyers who want the largest advertised capacity on the shelf should be looking at the 15,000-puff class instead, where A$69.90 buys 15,000 puffs.
One practical note on stock: the listing was showing 11 units available at the time of writing, across all flavours combined. Popular variants in a 20-flavour range tend to thin out first, so if a specific flavour is the reason you are buying, order it rather than waiting.
Swix Vape 9000 FAQ
How many puffs does the Swix 9000 actually deliver?
The manufacturer claims 9,000. Treat that as a ceiling rather than a promise: advertised figures are measured under controlled draw conditions, and real-world use with longer draws or heavy chain-vaping will finish a device sooner. Our breakdown of how long a 12,000-puff vape really lasts gives you the maths to scale down to 9,000 puffs for your own habits.
Is the Swix 9000 rechargeable?
The listing does not state whether the battery is rechargeable, and the official images do not show a charging port. We will not claim either way. Check the base of the device and the packaging for a USB-C port before assuming you can recharge it, and if there is no port, dispose of it responsibly once the vapour drops off.
What nicotine strength is the Swix 9000 sold in?
The listing does not publish a nicotine strength, so confirm it on the device label or at checkout before you buy. Nicotine vaping products are tightly restricted in Australia, the rules differ between states and territories, and they change — you are responsible for checking what applies where you live.
Where can I buy the Swix 9000 in Australia?
It is stocked at Swix Vape 9000 for A$45.90, with Australia-wide shipping, free delivery on orders over A$199, 30-day returns on eligible items, and same-day dispatch for orders placed before 2:30pm. All 20 flavours are listed on the one product page.
Bottom line: the Swix Vape 9000 is a clean, simple 9,000-puff device with an unusually broad flavour list and one of the lowest sticker prices in the AU VAPES range. Judge it on capacity per dollar and it loses; judge it on variety, size and upfront cost and it makes sense. Check the full flavour list on the Swix Vape 9000 product page, confirm you are 18 or over, and pick your flavour before stock thins out.
