Bang Vapes

Bang at VapeShopOnline: 27 Flavours, One Price, One Size

Most brand pages are a tangle of sizes, strengths and price tiers. This one is simple. Every product in the Bang range here is a 200ml shortfill e-liquid at £9.99, sold nicotine-free at 0mg, and there are 27 listings to choose from. With size, strength and price fixed, the only real decision left is flavour.

The arithmetic is the first thing worth knowing. £9.99 for 200ml works out at just under 5p per millilitre before you add any nicotine. A standard 10ml UK bottle costs several times more per millilitre, and the 100ml shortfills from other ranges in our catalogue generally sit somewhere between roughly £6 and £12 for half the volume. Bang is built around volume, and that is why it has stayed a long-standing name on UK shortfill shelves.

Shortfill is a specific format with specific rules, and it is not the right purchase for everyone. It is a refill liquid, not a device, so you need a refillable tank or refillable pod system to use it. It ships at 0mg, so if you want nicotine you add it yourself using nicotine shots. Buyers who want a ready-to-vape product with nicotine already in it are better served by 10ml bottles or pre-filled pods.

This page walks through what a shortfill is and why 200ml bottles are lawful in the UK, how the flavour range breaks down, who Bang suits, how to work out your nicotine strength, which devices pair with it, what 200ml really costs over a month, and how to check that what arrives is genuine. Everything here is written for adults. Sales are strictly 18+ and orders are age verified before dispatch. UK delivery is free over £20, orders placed before 4pm are dispatched next day, and the stock is genuine.

What a Shortfill Is and Why 200ml Is Legal in the UK

A shortfill is a bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid that is deliberately sold with spare room inside it. The bottle is larger than the liquid it holds, and that headroom is there so you can add one or more nicotine shots and end up with a finished liquid at a strength of your choosing. If you do not add anything, you simply have 0mg liquid, which is what a lot of long-term vapers use anyway.

The reason the format exists is the Tobacco Products Directive rules that still shape UK vaping. Under those rules, e-liquid that contains nicotine can only be sold in refill bottles of 10ml or less, at a maximum strength of 20mg/ml, and refillable tanks are limited to 2ml. The same 20mg cap applied to disposable vapes until the ban on single-use vapes came into force on 1 June 2025. Nicotine-free e-liquid is outside those nicotine rules, which is why a 200ml bottle at 0mg can be sold legally while a 200ml bottle containing nicotine could not.

That legal position explains the shape of the Bang range. Everything on this page is 0mg. The nicotine, if you want it, comes from a separate 10ml shot, typically sold at 18mg/ml, which stays under the 20mg ceiling that applies to retail nicotine products. Once you mix, the final strength depends on how many shots you use and how much liquid is in the bottle, and the maths for that is covered in its own section below.

It also helps to be clear about what Bang is not. It is not a disposable, and since the single-use ban, disposables of the old style are no longer on legal sale. What replaced them is a mix of rechargeable big-puff devices, refillable pod kits and, for people who vape a lot, bottled liquid used in a refillable tank. Bang sits in that last group. It is an economical way to keep a refillable device running, and it has no battery, no chip and nothing to throw away other than the bottle.

• Size: 200ml per bottle, shortfill format with room for nicotine shots.
• Strength as sold: 0mg, nicotine-free.
• Price across the range: £9.99 per bottle.
• Needs: a refillable tank or pod, plus nicotine shots if you want nicotine.

The Flavour Range, Family by Family

With 27 listings you could spend a while scrolling, so it helps to think in families. The range leans heavily towards fruit, with a smaller group of sweet, fizzy and cooling options. There are no tobacco or dessert profiles here. If you are after custard, bakery or tobacco flavours, this is not the brand page for it, and you are better off browsing our wider shortfill collection.

Berry and mixed fruit blends make up the largest family and are the easiest place to start. The named blends include Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Blueberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Grape, Frozen Berries, Grape Strawberry and Raspberry and Lychee. Blends like these tend to have a layered taste, with a sweeter base fruit and a sharper or tarter note on top, which keeps them interesting across a whole 200ml bottle rather than tiring after a few days. Pinkman is also here and is a named blend rather than a single fruit, so read its product page for the tasting notes.

Lemonade and citrus is the second strong group. Blueberry Lemonade, Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade combine a fruit with a tart, sweetened lemon note, while Lemon, Blood Orange and Tangy Orange are more direct. Citrus liquids are popular with vapers who find very sweet flavours cloying, because the acidity cuts through the sugar and gives a cleaner finish.

Tropical and orchard fruit covers Mango, Malaysian Mango, Peach and Mango, Guava, Tasty Tropiks, Apple and Strawberry Kiwi. Mango is a consistent favourite in UK vaping, and having a plain Mango alongside a Malaysian Mango and a Peach and Mango gives you a way to compare how different the same fruit can taste depending on how it is blended.

Single fruit and simple profiles include Strawberry and Grape. These are straightforward and sit well as an all-day flavour, particularly if you vape a lot and want something that does not change character as the bottle empties.

Sweet, fizzy and cooling options round out the range with Fizzy Cola, Atomic Fireball, Sour Watermelon and Mrs Menthol. Fizzy Cola and Sour Watermelon are sweets-aisle profiles, Atomic Fireball is a candy-style flavour with a bite, and Mrs Menthol is the cooling option for people who like a fresher inhale. Menthol and cooling agents behave differently as you add nicotine, which comes up again when we talk about strength.

• First bottle, low risk: a mixed berry or a single fruit such as Strawberry or Grape.
• Fans of tart flavours: Pink Lemonade, Blood Orange or Sour Watermelon.
• Fans of tropical flavours: Malaysian Mango, Guava or Tasty Tropiks.
• Cooling inhale: Mrs Menthol or Frozen Berries.

Who Bang Suits, and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Bang shortfills suit a fairly specific type of vaper, and being honest about that saves you money. The core audience is adults who already use a refillable device and go through a decent amount of liquid each week. If you refill a tank once or twice a day, a 200ml bottle is a sensible way to stop buying 10ml bottles every few days.

It also suits people who vape at low strengths or at zero. Some vapers have stepped down over time and now use 0mg to 3mg, or keep a 0mg liquid purely for the habit and flavour. For them, a bottle that arrives at 0mg is exactly what they want and no mixing is required at all.

People who like to tinker will also get on well with it. Mixing a shortfill with shots lets you fine-tune strength in small steps, and many experienced vapers keep a couple of different strengths on the go, such as a lighter mix for evenings and a slightly stronger one for the day.

New vapers are a more mixed case. There is nothing stopping a first-time buyer using a shortfill, but the extra step of adding shots and getting the strength right is one more thing to learn. Adults moving away from cigarettes often need a higher nicotine level than a diluted shortfill delivers, and they are usually better started on a ready-made 10ml nicotine salt liquid in a pod kit, then moving to shortfill later if they want a cheaper way to run a larger device.

Some people should skip this page altogether:

• Closed pod and pre-filled pod owners: if your device takes sealed cartridges you cannot refill, a bottle of liquid is no use to you.
• People wanting 20mg nicotine salt in a small pod: a diluted shortfill will not reach that level, and trying to force it is not what the format is designed for.
• Anyone who wants a no-fuss, grab-and-go product: bottled liquid needs a device, filling and some upkeep.

If you are unsure which camp you are in, start with the question of what hardware you own. Refillable tank or pod with a fill port means this page is relevant. Anything else, and our refill and pod pages are the better starting point.

Nicotine Shots: Working Out Your Strength

Because the bottles are 0mg, strength is something you set yourself. The calculation is simple once you see it laid out. The final strength in mg/ml is the strength of the shot multiplied by the volume of nicotine added, divided by the total volume of liquid in the bottle after mixing.

UK nicotine shots are generally 10ml bottles at 18mg/ml. Bottle sizes and shot allowances differ from product to product, so always follow the guidance printed on your bottle for the number of shots it is designed to take. For illustration only, here is what 10ml shots at 18mg/ml do when added to 200ml of 0mg liquid:

• One shot: about 0.9mg/ml
• Two shots: about 1.6mg/ml
• Three shots: about 2.3mg/ml
• Four shots: 3.0mg/ml
• Five shots: 3.6mg/ml
• Six shots: about 4.2mg/ml

These figures show two useful things. First, even several shots give a modest final strength, which is why shortfill vaping is typically done at a low nicotine level and with a larger cloud and bigger draw. Second, each extra shot adds a bit less than the one before, because the total volume keeps growing.

Choosing a starting point is a matter of habit. Vapers who take large, airy draws on a sub-ohm tank usually settle between 0mg and 6mg. Those using a mouth-to-lung style pod tend to prefer a stronger, tighter hit, and for that style the shortfill route is often less convenient than a pre-made nicotine salt liquid. If you are experimenting, start low. It is easy to add a shot to a bottle that is too light, and impossible to take nicotine out of one that is too strong.

Mixing is not complicated, but it is worth doing properly:

• Wash your hands and work over a surface you do not mind cleaning, as nicotine liquid should not touch skin.
• Open the bottle, add the shots, and close the cap firmly.
• Shake for around thirty seconds so the nicotine is distributed evenly.
• Leave it for a day or so with the cap on. Some flavours mellow slightly as they rest, though this varies from liquid to liquid.
• Label the bottle with the strength you made, and keep it somewhere children and pets cannot reach.

One practical note on menthol and cooling flavours. Nicotine adds its own throat sensation, and a cooling profile such as Mrs Menthol will feel noticeably sharper as strength rises. If you are mixing a cooling liquid for the first time, aim a notch lower than you would for a fruit flavour, then adjust.

Devices That Work With 200ml Shortfill

The main compatibility rule is simple: the device must be refillable. That means a tank or a pod with a fill port that you can open, fill and reseal. Sealed devices, pre-filled cartridges and heated tobacco products will not work with bottled liquid.

The devices that pair well fall into two groups. Sub-ohm tanks and kits use low-resistance mesh or coil heads, often in the 0.15 to 0.6 ohm range, and are designed for larger, airier draws at higher power. They handle thicker, higher-VG liquids well and are the natural home for a shortfill. Refillable pod systems are more compact, and they range from mouth-to-lung pods with higher-resistance coils to higher-power pods that take lower-resistance coils. Check the manufacturer's coil guidance for the liquid thickness your pod is built for. The VG/PG ratio is printed on the bottle label, so check it against what your device is designed to handle.

Practical points that save frustration:

• Fill ports: a 200ml bottle is large, so most people decant a small amount into a smaller squeezable bottle with a fine tip for filling. It avoids spills and keeps the main bottle sealed.
• Priming: let a new coil soak for five to ten minutes after filling before you fire it. Dry-firing a fresh coil is the quickest way to burn it.
• Power settings: start at the low end of the range printed on the coil and move up only if the flavour feels thin.
• Coil life: sweet and fruity liquids leave residue on a coil faster than lighter ones, so expect to replace coils somewhere between one and three weeks depending on how much you vape. A burnt or muted taste is the signal to swap it.
• Switching flavours: empty and rinse the tank, or fit a fresh coil, if you move between very different flavours, as the old taste lingers in a used coil.

Keeping your hardware in good order matters as much as the liquid you pick. Rinse the tank with warm water every few refills, let it dry fully, and wipe the contacts on the pod or tank base. Many a muted flavour comes down to a tired coil rather than the bottle.

Honest Value: What 200ml Actually Costs You

The headline number is £9.99 for 200ml, but the figure that matters is cost per day. How long a bottle lasts depends entirely on how much you vape. Here is how the bottle stretches at three typical usage levels, using the 200ml volume and the £9.99 price:

• Light, around 2ml a day: roughly 100 days, or about 10p a day
• Moderate, around 4ml a day: roughly 50 days, or about 20p a day
• Heavy, around 6ml a day: roughly 33 days, or about 30p a day

Add the extras to get a realistic total. Nicotine shots are usually priced at around a pound or so each, so a mixed bottle at 3mg, which uses four shots, adds a few pounds. Coils are a regular running cost as well, typically a few pounds for a pack. Even with those included, a heavy user can run a refillable setup for noticeably less than they would spend on 10ml bottles, and far less than the pattern of buying a disposable every few days that many people had before the ban.

Value is not only about price, though, and there are honest caveats. A 200ml bottle is a commitment to one flavour for weeks. If your tastes shift or you get bored, the saving disappears into a half-used bottle. Many people deal with this by buying two different Bang flavours and alternating, which keeps things fresh and still works out cheaper per millilitre than smaller bottles.

Storage matters for value too. E-liquid does not last forever. Keep the bottle capped, upright, away from direct sunlight and away from heat, and check the date printed on the label. A bottle you finish well within its date costs you what you paid. One left half-full for a year costs more than it appears.

The other thing to be honest about is that cheap per millilitre is not the same as cheap overall if the hardware does not suit you. If you do not own a refillable device, add the cost of a starter kit before you decide that bottled liquid is the economical route.

How Bang Compares With Other Ways to Buy Liquid

Choosing Bang is really a choice about format, so it helps to line it up against the alternatives you will see elsewhere in the shop.

Against 10ml nicotine salt and freebase bottles. Ten-millilitre bottles are the standard small UK format. They arrive with nicotine already in them, at strengths up to the 20mg cap, with nothing to mix. They are the more convenient and often the better starting point for adults who need a higher strength, but they cost considerably more per millilitre. Bang wins on volume and loses on convenience.

Against 100ml shortfills from other brands. Ranges such as Doozy, Hayati, Yeti, Caliypso and Bar Series typically come in 100ml bottles, with a spread of prices across the range depending on brand and flavour. A 100ml bottle is easier to finish before it goes stale and gives you more variety per pound spent over a few months. A 200ml bottle halves the number of orders you place and gives the lower price per millilitre. If you are happy with a flavour, 200ml is the thriftier choice. If you like to rotate, 100ml gives you more flexibility.

Against pre-filled pods. Closed pods are the easiest way to vape, with no filling and no mixing, and are the natural route for people who want simplicity. They cost more per millilitre of liquid, they create more waste, and they lock you into one manufacturer's hardware. Bottled liquid in a refillable device is the opposite trade: more effort, lower running cost, less waste.

Against the old disposable habit. Before the single-use ban, many vapers relied on disposables with fixed puff counts. Those left the market, and the rechargeable replacements still cost more than bottled liquid for heavy users. Moving to a refillable setup with something like Bang is the obvious way to bring running costs down.

Within the Bang range itself the choice is about flavour, not specification, because the size, strength and price are identical. A sensible approach is to pick one flavour from the family you already like and one from a family you are curious about, rather than buying two near-identical profiles.

Genuine Stock, Storage, Delivery, Returns and Recycling

Spotting genuine stock. Counterfeit and mislabelled e-liquid exists in the UK market, and bottled liquid is easier to fake than a branded device. Buy from a retailer that age verifies orders and lists real contact details. Check the bottle on arrival: the print should be sharp and consistent, the label should carry an ingredient list, the flavour name and brand, a batch number and a best-before date, and the cap should seal firmly with no loose or damaged parts. Be wary of any listing priced far below the range, as the £9.99 across all 27 flavours here is already low for 200ml. If anything looks off, do not use the liquid and contact the seller.

Storage. Keep bottles in a cool, dark place, capped and upright. Heat and light degrade flavour and can darken the liquid over time. A slight change in colour over a long period can happen, but a sour smell or a thin, watery look is a sign the liquid is past its best.

Delivery. UK delivery is free on orders over £20, and orders placed before 4pm go out the next day. Three bottles come to just under £30, so a small stock-up clears the free delivery threshold comfortably. Every order is age verified before dispatch.

Returns and faults. E-liquid is a consumable, so the practical points are condition and accuracy. If a bottle arrives leaking, damaged or not as described, contact us with your order number and a photo and we will look into it. Goods must be as described and of satisfactory quality under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which applies to all UK sales. There is no manufacturer warranty on a bottle of liquid in the way there is on a device, so the protection that matters is on the supply side: buying from a seller who stands behind what they ship.

Recycling. The empty bottle is plastic and goes into household plastic recycling in most council areas, so check your local rules and rinse it first. The device side is where the stricter rules apply. Any vape hardware and batteries, including old tanks, pods with built-in batteries and chargers, should not go in the bin. Many retailers that sell vapes offer a drop-off or take-back point, and household waste recycling centres accept small electrical items. Use a vape-recycling drop-off point near you rather than general waste, as lithium batteries cause fires in refuse lorries and bin sorting plants.

If you are new to the format and unsure, take it step by step: choose a refillable device, pick one flavour from the family you like, decide on a starting strength and keep notes on what you mixed. After the first bottle you will know whether 200ml is the right size for you.
