This Glow Up Grape review is about the richest flavour we make. It is plush, jammy Concord grape – deep, slow and a little indulgent – in a 1g all-in-one shaped like a lip gloss.

What Glow Up Grape tastes like
The first pull
Concord grape – the dark, juicy kind, not the pale green table grape. It tastes like good grape jam: full, round and sweet.
The finish
Slow and plush. It lingers longer than the lighter fruit flavours and leaves a soft, rich sweetness behind.
5 reasons it is our richest flavour yet
- It is deep. Concord grape has more body than any other fruit in the line.
- It is jammy. Rich and round rather than sharp or tart.
- It is an evening pen. Slow and indulgent, made for winding down.
- It looks incredible. The purple pen is the boldest colour we make.
- It balances a mixed pack. Pair it with something light for contrast.
The device
Like every Glow Up Grape review should mention, the hardware is identical across the line: ceramic heating for an even draw, dual airflow, auto-draw with no buttons, and a 300 mAh battery that charges over USB-C. The purple colourway is the only thing that sets it apart – and it really does stand out.
Who Glow Up Grape is for
- Anyone who loves grape flavours
- People who find light fruit flavours too quiet
- Evening people who want something slow and rich
For something brighter, try It’s Giving Guava. For a different kind of rich, try Strawberry Matcha.
What we would change
An honest Glow Up Grape review has to say that jammy is not for everyone. If you like your fruit crisp and light, this will feel heavy – start with Watermelon Wifey or Peach Perfection instead.
How to get the most from Glow Up Grape
A few small habits make every pen taste better and last longer, and they matter as much as anything else in this Glow Up Grape review. Here is how we use ours:
- Take short, steady draws. Two or three seconds keeps the flavour bright; long pulls can taste flatter.
- Keep it capped. The cap keeps lint and dust out of the mouthpiece.
- Store it upright and cool. Heat and direct sun are the enemies of flavour, so never leave it in a hot car.
- Charge before it dies. If the draw starts to feel weak, a quick USB-C top-up usually brings it back.
- Rotate flavours. Switching between two pens keeps each one tasting fresh.
Why the lip gloss shape matters
It is easy to treat the shape as a gimmick, but it changes how the pen fits into your day. It is slim enough for the smallest clutch, light enough that you forget it is in your pocket, and it reads as makeup rather than hardware. There is nothing to click, twist or refill, and it charges on the same USB-C cable as your phone. For us, that ease is a big part of why Glow Up Grape ends up being the pen you actually carry, and it is worth weighing in any Glow Up Grape review alongside the flavour itself.
Glow Up Grape compared with other flavours
| Flavour | Taste | Intensity | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glow Up Grape | Plush, jammy Concord grape | Rich | Slow evenings |
| Strawberry Matcha | Strawberry and creamy matcha | Medium | Something different |
| Berry Baddie | Sweet-tart mixed berries | Bold | When you want more attitude |
| It’s Giving Guava | Crisp, light guava | Light | Tropical moods |
The table sums up where this Glow Up Grape review lands: every pen shares the same hardware, so the only real difference is taste.
