Bubble gun refills: compatible liquid, aromas, tanks and coils

⏱️Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

A bubble gun hardly wears out. What runs out are its refills: bubble liquid, aromas and, depending on the model, the tank or the coils. Here’s how never to run dry in the middle of service.

“The question I’m asked most after someone buys a gun? ‘What do I need to buy again, and when?’ This guide answers it once and for all, model by model.”

PRACTICAL GUIDE

Never run out of bubbles

The right refills for each gun, and when to replace them

What gets used up

Bubble liquid and aromas: to buy again according to your service pace.

What wears out

The disposable tank or the coils: change them when the aroma weakens or smells burnt.

Which gun do you have?

The Délice Bar Flavoured Bubble Gun: it’s a Molec-Chef gun, with a screw-on tank and coils.
The Flavour Blaster Pro 2.5: magnetic disposable tank, no coil to change.
The Flavour Blaster Mini 2: compatible with disposable tanks only.
The Flavour Blaster Pro 2.4: reusable tank and replacement coils (it also accepts the disposable tank).

Bottle of Bubble X Flavour Blaster bubble liquid 180 ml

Disposable tank with magnetic base and sliding lid for the Flavour Blaster gun

How long do refills last?

Refill	Stated yield
Bubble X liquid 180 ml	Up to 1,000 bubbles, lasting up to 3 minutes
Molec-Chef bubble liquid 300 ml	Up to about 3,000 bubbles
10 ml aroma	About 250 clouds or bubbles
Disposable tank	About 1,000 uses, i.e. 4 to 6 weeks of intensive use

Do the maths: for an evening of 100 bubble cocktails, one bottle of Bubble X is more than enough, and one aroma bottle covers the service with room to spare. Plan one aroma bottle per flavour on your menu.

When should you change the coil or the tank?

The aroma becomes weak, or tastes burnt.
A burning smell appears during use.
The cotton in the reusable tank changes colour.
The tank leaks.

On disposable-tank models, you replace the whole tank: there’s no coil to handle.

5 rules to make your gun last

One tank (or one coil) per aroma: no more mint taste in your strawberry cocktail, and aroma changes in seconds.
Fill the tank at least halfway, then wait a few minutes before first use: the cotton must be well soaked.
Never run the gun empty: that’s what burns out the coils.
On the Molec-Chef gun, pour the aroma into the side hole, never into the centre hole.
Recharge the battery after each service and store everything dry, with bubble liquid out of children’s reach.

Bubbles that don’t hold?

Spray the rim of the glass with the atomiser or place the bubble on a support spoon. Our article on bubble liquid details all the tricks.
