A Vapes

What the A Vapes collection covers

The A Vapes page on VapeShopOnline gathers products sold under the A Steam name. At the time of writing that means a single listing: A Steam 10ml E-Liquid Box of 10, priced at £14.99. It is a multipack of ten 10ml bottles of ready-to-vape e-liquid, which adds up to 100ml of liquid in one order. Our catalogue files it under 0mg, so it sits alongside the other nicotine-free liquids rather than the nicotine salt ranges.

That makes this a small collection, and we would rather say so plainly than pad it out with claims we cannot back up. There are no devices, pods, coils or disposables under the A heading. If what you actually want is a vape brand beginning with the letter A, such as Aspire for kits and tanks, or Aladdin, Angel, Aqua and Al Fakher, each of those has its own dedicated page elsewhere in the store, and the browse menus will take you straight there.

What the A Steam box does give you is a practical, no-fuss format:

• Ten bottles of 10ml each: 100ml in total, enough to keep a daily vaper supplied for weeks rather than days.
• One listing, many flavours: the product page sits in a family of 205 related flavour listings, so you choose the flavour you want and buy the box in that flavour.
• Ready to use: no mixing, no nicotine shots and no steeping. You open a bottle and fill a refillable pod or tank.
• A clear price: £14.99 for the box, which works out at a little under £1.50 per bottle once you divide it out.

The sections below explain the UK rules around a product like this, who it suits, how to pick a flavour and a strength, which devices it works in, how the value stacks up, and how to make sure what arrives is genuine stock. Nicotine products are for adults aged 18 or over, and nicotine is addictive, so if you do not currently smoke or vape you should not start.

UK rules that shape a 10ml e-liquid box

Anyone browsing A Vapes will notice that the one product here is sold as ten small bottles rather than one large one. That is not a quirk of the brand. It follows from UK vaping regulations, which derive from the Tobacco Products Directive and are usually shortened to TPD. Knowing the main limits helps you read any listing in the store, and helps you notice when something looks wrong.

• 10ml bottle limit: e-liquid that contains nicotine cannot be sold in bottles larger than 10ml. A box of ten is the standard way to buy a bigger supply in one order.
• 20mg/ml nicotine cap: the maximum strength is 20mg/ml, which is 2 percent. The same 20mg ceiling applied to disposable vapes and still applies to prefilled pods and every bottle of e-liquid, so a bottle claiming more than that is not legitimate UK stock.
• 2ml tank and pod size: refillable tanks and pods sold in the UK hold no more than 2ml, which is why you refill several times per bottle rather than emptying a bottle in one go.
• Child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging: caps must resist opening by children, and a security ring or seal must show if a bottle has been opened before you received it.
• Labelling and notification: labels must carry ingredients, batch information and health warnings where nicotine is present, and nicotine products must be notified to the regulator before they can be sold.
• Age limit: sales of nicotine vaping products are strictly to adults aged 18 or over.

Nicotine-free liquid is treated differently when it comes to bottle size, which is why 0mg shortfills are sold in 50ml and 100ml bottles. The A Steam box is built from 10ml bottles, so it behaves like the small bottles you would use with any other ready-mixed liquid.

One more change matters for anyone who used to buy disposables. Single-use vapes have been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025. Refillable devices fed by bottled e-liquid, like the one this box is made for, sit alongside rechargeable prefilled-pod kits as the routes adults now use instead. Whatever you choose, nicotine is addictive and not suitable for under 18s. Anyone who is pregnant, or who has a medical condition, should speak to a health professional before using nicotine products.

Who the A Steam box suits, and who should skip it

A multipack is a good fit for some vapers and a poor one for others, and being honest about that saves money. The A Steam box makes the most sense when you already know what you are doing with a refillable device and want a steady supply without reordering every week.

It suits you if:

• You own a refillable pod kit, tank or mod and have already settled on a flavour family you enjoy.
• You vape every day and are tired of single-bottle orders turning up one after another.
• You have moved from disposables to a rechargeable refillable kit and need a reliable source of liquid to go with it.
• You like to keep a spare bottle at home, in a bag and at work, so a device is never empty at the wrong moment.
• You vape for flavour only, or have already reduced your nicotine to nothing, and want a straightforward 0mg supply.

It is probably not for you if:

• You have never tried the flavour. Ten bottles is a long run of one taste if it turns out you do not like it.
• You only own a closed pod system that takes prefilled cartridges. Bottled liquid will not fit those.
• You vape only occasionally. Liquid keeps for a limited time, and ten bottles can outlast it.
• You are looking for a nicotine product and the listing shows 0mg. In that case look at the nicotine salt or higher-strength e-liquid collections instead.
• You are under 18, or you do not smoke or vape. Nicotine products are not for you.

For new refillable vapers, the main advice is to start with a device that is simple to fill and has a small 2ml pod or tank, then buy the box once you have confirmed the flavour works for you. For experienced vapers the box is a convenience purchase: you already know your coil habits, your preferred power and your flavour rotation, and a hundred millilitres in one order simply cuts the number of times you have to think about stock.

Choosing a flavour: families, rotation and flavour fatigue

Because this listing is one product with a large flavour family attached, the flavour you pick is the decision that shapes your experience more than any other. We would rather explain how flavours behave in general than invent tasting notes for 205 variants, since taste is personal and changes with the device, the coil and the power setting.

Most e-liquid flavours fall into a handful of families:

• Fruit: single fruits and blends such as apple, blackcurrant, cherry, lemon, raspberry and mixed berries. These are bright, sweet and easy to vape through the day, and they leave tobacco taste well behind.
• Ice and menthol: a cooling finish layered over fruit, or on its own. The cooling agent is noticeable on the inhale and feels sharper at higher power or higher strength.
• Drinks and candy: colas, lemonade, blue raspberry, bubblegum and other sweets. They tend to be sweeter and can make a coil dirty faster.
• Dessert and coffee: custards, creams, pastry and coffee notes. These feel richer and slightly heavier, and suit gentler power settings.
• Tobacco: from light and dry to sweeter blends, for adults who want something closer to the character of a cigarette.

Flavour names such as apple, banana, blue raspberry, blackcurrant, lemonade, cherry and cola all turn up across this part of our catalogue, which gives you a feel for the sort of range the A Steam name sits in. For narrowing down before you commit to ten bottles, the store has dedicated flavour pages for strawberry, watermelon, blue raspberry, banana, ice and menthol, and reading through what other brands offer in a flavour you like is a quick way to test your own preferences.

A few rules of thumb help when you cannot taste before you buy. Lighter fruit and menthol styles usually hold up well in small pod systems. Rich dessert styles gum up a coil faster, so they suit people who change coils regularly. Very sweet liquids leave residue, which shortens coil life if you vape heavily.

Flavour fatigue is real. After a few weeks on one taste many vapers find it fades, an effect often called vaper's tongue. If you notice this, switching to a menthol or a different fruit for a day or two usually resets your palate. It is another reason to open one bottle at a time from the box rather than breaking into several at once, and to keep a different flavour on hand for a change of pace.

Nicotine strength and PG/VG balance

Our catalogue lists the A Steam 10ml E-Liquid Box of 10 at 0mg, meaning no nicotine. Check the strength shown on the product page for the exact variant before you add it to your basket, and check the label on each bottle when it arrives, especially when you are holding ten of them. If you want a liquid with nicotine, the nicotine salt and higher-strength e-liquid collections are the place to browse, and the product page for each item will tell you its strength.

For reference, this is how common strengths usually line up. UK law caps every bottle at 20mg/ml:

• 0mg: no nicotine. For people who have already come off nicotine, or who vape purely for flavour.
• 3mg freebase: light. Common in high-power sub-ohm vaping, where each puff delivers a large volume of vapour.
• 6mg freebase: moderate. A frequent choice for lighter smokers moving to a mid-power device.
• 12mg freebase: stronger, usually paired with mouth-to-lung tanks and used by people who smoked regularly.
• 10mg and 20mg nicotine salts: a different form of nicotine that feels smoother at higher strengths. Designed for low-power pod devices, not for sub-ohm tanks.

A common mistake is to try to turn a 0mg bottle into a nicotine liquid by adding a shot. A full 10ml bottle has no headroom for a shot, and mixing your own nicotine liquid is a job for dedicated shortfill bottles that are sold with space left in them. If you want nicotine, buy a liquid made at that strength rather than trying to modify this one.

The other number worth reading on the label is the ratio of propylene glycol (PG) to vegetable glycerine (VG). PG is thin and carries flavour and throat hit, while VG is thick and produces more vapour. A balanced 50/50 mix works in most pod kits and mouth-to-lung tanks. High-VG liquids are made for sub-ohm tanks with large wicking holes, and they can starve a small coil, causing dry hits. Thin, PG-heavy liquids wick quickly and suit small coils, but they leak more easily from loose seals. The ratio, rather than the brand name, tells you which kind of device a bottle is suited to.

If you ever change strength, change one step at a time and give it a few days. People who drop to a lower strength tend to take longer or more frequent puffs to compensate, which uses liquid faster and can overwork the coil.

Devices, coils and compatibility

E-liquid has no battery, no screen and no charging port, so everything about how it performs depends on the device you put it in. Matching liquid to hardware is straightforward once you know what each type of device wants.

• Refillable pod kits (low power, roughly 10 to 25 watts): slim devices with a fill port on the pod and a 2ml capacity. They suit balanced or PG-leaning liquids and are charged by USB-C. This is the easiest home for the A Steam box.
• Mouth-to-lung tanks and pens: coils around 1.0 ohm and above, with a tighter draw similar to a cigarette. Balanced 50/50 liquids and lower airflow work well.
• Sub-ohm tanks (below 0.5 ohm): built for big vapour and normally paired with high-VG liquids at low strength. A 50/50 bottle will work in a sub-ohm tank, but expect to use it quickly.

What it will not work in: closed pod systems that use prefilled cartridges, and former disposable vapes, which are sealed units with no fill port. If your device does not have a fill port or a refillable tank, bottled liquid is not for it.

Coils matter as much as the liquid. Standard round-wire coils heat a wire wrapped around cotton, while mesh coils use a flat sheet that spreads heat evenly and usually gives a more consistent flavour at the same power. Whichever you use, the single most useful habit is priming. When you fit a new coil, drip a little liquid straight onto the exposed cotton, fill the pod or tank, and wait five to ten minutes before the first puff. A dry or half-soaked wick burns on the first draw, and a burnt coil rarely recovers its taste.

Coil life depends on the liquid. Sweet, heavy flavours caramelise on the coil and shorten its life, so a typical coil can last anywhere from about a week to a few weeks depending on how much you vape. If flavour drops, gurgling starts or you notice a burnt taste, change the coil before blaming the liquid. Our coils and refillable pod kit collections cover the hardware side, and our vape kits pages are worth a look if you are still choosing a device.

On batteries, use the charger supplied or a reputable USB-C charger, do not leave a device charging unattended overnight, and stop using any device that gets hot, swells or smells of burning.

Value for money: what a £14.99 box works out to

The case for a box of ten comes down to cost per bottle, convenience and fewer orders. Start with the arithmetic. At £14.99 for ten bottles, each 10ml bottle costs a little under £1.50. Across the full 100ml that is roughly 15p per millilitre.

To see what that means in daily terms, here are two illustrations. They are estimates only, because real consumption varies widely between people:

• Light to moderate pod use, around 2ml a day: 100ml covers roughly 50 days, and the liquid cost works out at around 30p a day.
• Heavy sub-ohm use, around 10ml a day: 100ml covers roughly 10 days, and the liquid cost is nearer £1.50 a day.

Add coils to that, since they are a running cost that sits outside the liquid price. Pods and coils wear out, and a mouth-to-lung setup with sensible coil changes will cost less than a high-power tank that eats coils quickly.

How the box compares with the other ways to buy:

• Versus single 10ml bottles: a box is usually cheaper per bottle and means fewer deliveries, but you commit to one flavour for ten bottles. Singles let you experiment.
• Versus our 5 for £10 e-liquid deals: where that deal applies, five bottles for £10 works out at £2 per bottle, against under £1.50 per bottle here. The deal is better for variety, the box is better for volume of a single flavour.
• Versus shortfills: 50ml and 100ml shortfills are often cheaper per millilitre, but they are nicotine-free, designed for sub-ohm tanks, and need nicotine shots added for anyone wanting nicotine. This box is ready to use as it comes.
• Versus prefilled pods: closed pods are tidy and simple, but each pod holds around 2ml and costs more per millilitre than bottled liquid.
• Versus disposables: single-use vapes can no longer be sold in Great Britain, and a refillable setup was already cheaper over time since you pay for liquid and coils rather than a whole device and battery.

One practical tip: at £14.99, the box sits just below our free UK delivery threshold of £20. Adding a pack of coils or a second item takes the order over the line and avoids paying for delivery on a low-value basket.

Spotting genuine stock and avoiding counterfeits

Counterfeit and grey-market vape products turn up on marketplaces and social media, and e-liquid is no exception. A bottle that has been refilled, relabelled or made without proper controls can taste wrong, and in the worst cases may contain ingredients you cannot identify. Everything we sell is 100% genuine stock, and these are the checks that help you confirm it for yourself.

• Intact security ring: a tamper-evident ring or seal should break the first time you open the cap. If it is already broken or missing, do not use the bottle.
• Child-resistant cap: UK bottles require one. A plain screw cap with no child-safety mechanism is a warning sign.
• Bottle size: bottles of nicotine liquid larger than 10ml are not legitimate UK stock. A 0mg shortfill may be larger, but a nicotine bottle above 10ml should make you stop.
• Full, legible label: expect ingredients, strength, batch number and best-before information, plus health warnings and a contact address where nicotine is present. Blurred print, spelling mistakes and missing information are red flags.
• Consistent bottles: all ten bottles in a box should look identical in label alignment, print quality and cap style. Obvious differences within one box are worth a photo and a message to us.
• Price that is too good: if a price is far below what legitimate retailers charge, ask why.
• Source: buy from an established UK retailer rather than an unknown seller or a social media account.

Strength is the other thing to check on arrival. The label on every bottle should match what you ordered, and nothing should exceed 20mg/ml. If a bottle smells unusual, looks cloudy when similar bottles do not, or is leaking from a sealed cap, stop using it and get in touch. Keep the packaging, the batch number and a photo, because they make any investigation quicker.

Storage, care and recycling

Treat e-liquid with the same care as any product that contains a regulated substance, even when the bottle is nicotine-free, because the flavourings and carriers can still cause irritation if misused.

Storage. Keep bottles upright, capped and in their box, somewhere cool, dark and out of reach of children and pets. Heat and sunlight break down flavourings and nicotine, so avoid windowsills, cars and bathrooms. Properly stored, most e-liquid stays in good condition for a year or more, but read the best-before date on the label. With ten bottles to hold, rotate the stock and use the oldest first.

Filling. Switch the device off and remove the pod or tank before you fill it. Fill slowly, with the nozzle resting in the port and away from the central airflow tube, and stop just below the maximum line. Wipe up any spills straight away, since liquid on skin or around a charging port is a nuisance and a risk.

Switching flavours. When you move to a new flavour in the same pod or tank, empty it and wipe it out, and consider a fresh coil, because the old flavour carries over and muddies the new one.

Safety. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with water for several minutes. If a child or pet swallows any liquid, call emergency services or NHS 111 straight away and keep the bottle to show them. Never decant liquid into an unlabelled container.

Recycling. Empty bottles can usually go in household plastic recycling once rinsed, although councils differ, so check local guidance and separate caps and nozzles where asked. The device is a different matter. Vapes, pods with batteries and rechargeable cells count as electrical waste and must never go in household bins or kerbside recycling, where lithium-ion batteries are a fire risk. Use a vape-recycling drop-off point instead. Many vape shops take back used devices, and your local household waste recycling centre will have a small electricals or battery point. Searching your postcode on a recycling locator is a quick way to find the nearest option.

Delivery, returns and what to do if something is wrong

Delivery is free across the UK on orders over £20, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the next day. Because nicotine products are age-restricted, expect the delivery to be handled as an adult sale, and make sure someone aged 18 or over is able to receive the parcel. Since the A Steam box sits at £14.99 on its own, adding another item is the simple way to reach free delivery.

Warranty needs a clear explanation, because liquid is different from a device. E-liquid is a consumable, so it does not carry a warranty the way a pod kit or tank does. Manufacturer warranties on hardware generally cover faults in manufacturing, not wear on parts such as coils, pods and seals, which are expected to be replaced. What matters for liquid is quality at the point of delivery.

If something goes wrong with your order, this is how to handle it:

• Damaged or leaking box: take photographs of the box and bottles before you open anything else, and contact us promptly with your order number.
• Wrong flavour or strength: check the label against your order confirmation, then get in touch with the details and photographs.
• Broken security ring or suspect bottle: do not use it. Keep the bottle, its batch number and the packaging so the issue can be looked into.
• Change of mind: opened bottles of e-liquid generally cannot be taken back for hygiene and safety reasons, so decide on flavour and strength with care before ordering.

The exact terms are set out on our delivery and returns page, and it is worth reading before you order if you have a specific concern. Contact us as soon as you notice a problem, because it is much easier to resolve an issue when the packaging and batch details are to hand.
