Float has quickly become a go-to brand for disposable vape users who want strong flavor, big puff counts, and devices that don’t fizzle out after a few days. Their Float Mello was already a popular choice, so when the Float Mello Pro dropped, the question came fast: what’s new? And more importantly, is it worth the upgrade?

If you’re debating which one to pick up next, this breakdown compares both models side by side: performance, design, features, and overall vibe.

TLDR:

Float Mello Pro is the upgraded version of the Float Mello, with a better screen, more puffs (up to 15K), and a flavor boost mode.
The Mello Pro includes a real-time e-liquid level and battery display; the original does not.
Both use mesh coils, but the Pro delivers a stronger hit with better vapor production.
Design-wise, the Pro is more ergonomic and feels more premium.
If you’re already a fan of the original, the Pro feels like what the Float Mello should’ve been from the start.

Design & Build

Float Mello

The original Float Mello is simple, functional, and pocket-friendly. It uses a matte plastic shell with a single-color finish. The shape is compact and smooth, making it comfortable to hold, though not very flashy. The absence of a screen keeps things minimal, which some users like, but others find frustrating since there’s no way to check your juice or battery levels.

Float Mello Pro

The Mello Pro brings a completely updated look. The rounded body fits better in your hand, and the build feels sturdier and more premium. Most noticeable is the large digital screen on the front, which displays both the battery life and e-liquid level. This eliminates all guesswork. No more taking a pull only to find it’s dry or dead.

The finish is glossy with color gradients that match the flavor profile, giving it a more high-end vibe without trying too hard.

Puff Count & Battery

Original Mello

The Float Mello offers up to 10,000 puffs, which is solid and more than enough for casual vapers to get through a week or two easily. The device is rechargeable via USB-C, and you can expect to recharge it a few times before the juice runs out. However, without a puff counter or screen, it’s a bit of a mystery when it’s near the end of its life.

Mello Pro

The Mello Pro steps it up to 15,000 puffs, putting it in the ultra-long-life disposable category. It still uses USB-C charging, but thanks to the screen, you’ll always know exactly how much battery and e-liquid is left. This transparency alone makes it feel more reliable and less disposable.

Performance & Vapor Quality

Both devices use mesh coils for clean flavor and solid vapor, but the Mello Pro simply hits better.

The original Mello produces a medium-thick cloud with decent warmth and taste. It gets the job done and delivers a consistent hit, but it doesn’t wow.

The Mello Pro adds a boost mode, which ramps up both vapor production and intensity. In standard mode, it’s already smoother and richer than the original. Flip on boost, and it pushes harder, with deeper flavor notes and thicker clouds. It’s not harsh, but it’s stronger. Great if you like that throatier pull, or if you’re switching from something heavier like a mod.

Screen & User Feedback

This is where the biggest difference shows.

Float Mello

You puff and hope it’s still working. There are no indicators, no warnings, just vibes. Once the light stops flashing or the hits get weak, it’s time to toss it.

Float Mello Pro

Full digital display with battery and e-liquid level indicators. You always know where things stand. It feels smarter, like a vape that wants to keep you informed. That level of feedback is becoming more common in 2025, and Float nailed it here.

Flavor Selection

Both devices are available in Float’s flavor catalog, including fan favorites like:

Blue Raspberry Ice
Lush Ice
Sour Apple
Peach Mango
Strawberry Banana

However, some flavors may release earlier on the Mello Pro before being added to the original. Early adopters tend to get the new blends first through the Pro line.

Portability & Vibe

If you want the lightest, most minimal option, the original Float Mello is still a good pick. It slides easily into a pocket and doesn’t attract attention. But if you want a vape that makes you feel like you’re getting the most out of your money, the Mello Pro is worth the slightly larger footprint.

The screen, the finish, and the stronger pull all add to the experience. It’s not just about vaping; it feels like using a better product.

Final Thoughts: Should You Upgrade?

If you’re happy with the Float Mello and just want a chill device, you’ll still get good flavor and lifespan. But if you’re someone who hates guessing when your vape will die, wants bigger hits, and values a more premium feel, the Float Mello Pro is the better buy.

It’s Float leveling up their game, and it feels like where the industry is headed: more information, more customization, longer life.
