What Are Cigarette Poppers, Crush Balls and Menthol Capsules? Understanding the Different Names

If you've searched online for terms like poppers, cigarette poppers, crush balls, menthol crush balls, cigarette flavour capsules, or filter capsules, you may have wondered whether they are different products.

The short answer is: they are all different names for the same type of product.

At All Star Poppers, we sell flavour capsules that are inserted into cigarette filters to add flavour and aroma when the capsule is crushed. Depending on where you live, these products may be known by several different names.

Different Names for the Same Product

Customers commonly refer to our products as:

• Cigarette Poppers

• Crush Balls

• Menthol Crush Balls

• Cigarette Flavour Capsules

• Filter Capsules

• Cigarette Flavour Balls

• Menthol Capsules

• Cigarette Beads

• Flavour Beads for Cigarettes

• Cigarette Flavour Pods

While the terminology varies, these names generally describe the same concept: a small flavour capsule that can be placed inside a cigarette filter and crushed to release flavour.

Why Do People Call Them "Poppers"?

The term "poppers" comes from the satisfying popping sensation that occurs when the flavour capsule is crushed.

Unfortunately, the word "poppers" can also refer to a completely unrelated product known as amyl nitrite or alkyl nitrites. This has caused confusion online over the years.

To be absolutely clear:

All Star Poppers does not sell amyl nitrite, alkyl nitrites, inhalants, room odours, sniffing products, or any chemical products intended for inhalation.

Our products are flavour capsules designed for cigarette filters and are completely unrelated to the products historically referred to as "poppers" in other industries.

What Are Crush Balls?

Crush balls are tiny flavour-filled capsules that are inserted into a cigarette filter. Once positioned inside the filter, the capsule can be crushed, releasing flavour through the filter during use.

Popular flavours include:

• Menthol

• Spearmint

• Watermelon

• Grape

• Blueberry

• Strawberry

• Mixed Fruit

• Ice Mint Variations

Different brands may use different names, but the product works in the same way.

What Are Menthol Crush Balls?

Menthol crush balls are simply crush balls that contain a menthol flavour.

Many smokers use menthol capsules to add a cooling sensation to cigarettes, similar to cigarettes that were manufactured with built-in crush capsules.

Menthol crush balls are one of the most popular varieties sold worldwide.

Are Cigarette Poppers and Menthol Crush Balls the Same Thing?

Yes.

"Cigarette poppers" is a broad term that can refer to any flavour capsule.

"Menthol crush balls" refers specifically to flavour capsules that contain menthol.

Think of it this way:

• Cigarette Poppers = General product category

• Crush Balls = General product category

• Menthol Crush Balls = Specific flavour type
