Caliypso Vapes: 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid for Tank Vapers

This collection gathers every Caliypso product we stock: 37 lines of 100ml shortfill e-liquid, all supplied at 0mg nicotine strength in the bottle. Caliypso is an e-liquid brand rather than a hardware brand, so you will not find Caliypso devices, pods or coils on this page. What you are choosing between is flavour, and the range offers plenty of it, from straightforward lemonade blends to fruit and ice combinations and a long run of colour-coded Surf and Wave recipes.

The format matters before the flavours do. A shortfill is a large bottle that is deliberately filled with less liquid than the bottle can hold. The spare space exists so that an adult who wants nicotine can add one or more nicotine shots and shake the bottle to mix. An adult who prefers nicotine-free vaping can use the liquid exactly as it arrives. Either way, the bottle is sold at 0mg, which is why a 100ml size is possible under UK rules, a point we explain properly in the legal section further down.

Because the format is built for refillable tanks, this page suits people who already own, or are about to buy, a device with a fill port. If you use a closed pod kit or a prefilled pod, Caliypso is not the right fit and our pod and disposable-style categories will serve you better.

Here is what the rest of this guide covers:

• Where the brand sits and what it is known for
• How the Ocean Lemonade, Surf and Wave families are organised
• Flavour, strength and mixing guidance, including worked nicotine shot maths
• Which devices pair sensibly with 100ml shortfills
• How Caliypso compares with other formats and styles of e-liquid

• UK legal context, honest value guidance, storage and recycling

Every order is for adults only. We sell strictly to customers aged 18 or over, ship all stock as 100% genuine, and offer free UK delivery on orders over a modest threshold, with next-day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm.

Brand Background: Summer-Style Lemonade Shortfills

Caliypso built its identity around lemonade and wave-style flavour combinations. The descriptions that circulate among retailers consistently use the same words: refreshing, fruit-led and often summer-themed. That is a fair summary of what is on the shelf here. We are not going to invent a founding story or a factory location for the brand, because that kind of detail should come from the manufacturer rather than a retailer guessing. What we can tell you reliably is what the products are, how they are named and how they behave in a tank.

The first thing you notice about the range is how disciplined the naming system is. A single base idea, whether that is an ocean-themed lemonade, a surf-style blend or a wave blend, is repeated across a spread of colours and fruit variations. Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red and Rainbow turn up again and again. That repetition is helpful when you are shopping, because once you know how you feel about one Caliypso bottle you can predict roughly what a colour sibling might offer, even though each recipe is its own blend.

The second thing worth knowing is that the range is deliberately light in character. Many shortfill houses lean on desserts, custards, bakery notes and heavy tobacco-adjacent profiles. Caliypso goes the other way, with drinks, citrus and fruit mixes. If you finish a vape session and want your mouth to feel clean rather than coated in cream, that style tends to suit.

• Format: 100ml shortfill bottles
• Strength as supplied: 0mg
• Range size: 37 products in the collection
• Pricing: one consistent price tier across the whole range, positioned at the value end of the shortfill market for a 100ml bottle
• Typical flavour territory: lemonade, lemon, lime, orange, cherry, strawberry, apple, pineapple, mango, mixed berries, tropical fruit and ice

A single price tier is a quiet advantage. You are never paying a surcharge for a more fashionable flavour, so choosing becomes a matter of taste only, and trying three or four different bottles over a few weeks costs about the same as the equivalent number of smaller bottles from a pricier house.

Flagship Lines: Ocean Lemonade, Surf, Wave and Standalone Lemonades

The range falls into four groups. Understanding them makes the product list much easier to scan.

Ocean Lemonade. This is the largest family and probably the closest thing Caliypso has to a signature. The names run through Black Ocean Lemonade, Blue Ocean Lemonade, Deep Blue Ocean Lemonade, Green Ocean Lemonade, Iceberg Ocean Lemonade, Orange Ocean Lemonade, Pink Ocean Lemonade, Purple Ocean Lemonade, Rainbow Ocean Lemonade and Red Ocean Lemonade. Each takes a lemonade base and tilts it towards a different colour of fruit. Iceberg, as the name suggests, points towards a cooling element.

Surf. The Surf group is a little more compact and drops the lemonade word from the title. You will find Black Surf, Blue Surf, Cold Surf, Green Surf, Orange Surf, Purple Surf, Rainbow Surf and Red Surf. Product titles in this group do not spell out the recipe, so the product page and the flavour tags are your most reliable guide.

Wave. The Wave group mirrors Surf but runs a little wider: Black Wave, Blue Wave, Cold Wave, Green Wave, Orange Wave, Pink Wave, Purple Wave, Rainbow Wave, Red Wave and Yellow Wave. Again the title tells you a colour and a mood more than a precise recipe.

Standalone lemonades. These carry a plain fruit description and are the easiest place to start if you like to know what you are buying:

• Original Lemonade, the reference point for the whole brand
• Lemon and Lime Lemonade, for a sharper citrus profile
• Strawberry Lemonade and Dark Cherry Lemonade, for red fruit with citrus acidity
• Pineapple Lemonade, Sweet Mango Lemonade and Tropical Punch Lemonade, for sweeter tropical builds
• Triple Melon Lemonade, for a softer, juicier melon lean

If you are unsure where to begin, pick one standalone lemonade and one colour from the Ocean, Surf or Wave families. That pairing shows you how the brand handles a simple recipe against a more abstract one, and it costs the same either way.

Flavour Guidance: Sweet, Sharp, Fruity or Icy

Lemonade is deceptively varied as a vaping flavour. A bottle can lean sour like freshly squeezed lemons, sweet like a fizzy high-street soft drink, or light like a cordial diluted with a lot of water. Caliypso uses the lemonade idea as a base and then moves it in several directions, so it helps to sort the range by what you want your vape to do.

If you want sharp and clean: start with Original Lemonade or Lemon and Lime Lemonade. Citrus-forward liquids tend to feel crisp and are often favoured by vapers who find fruit-candy profiles too sticky after an hour or two.

If you want sweet red fruit: Strawberry Lemonade and Dark Cherry Lemonade bring familiar berry and stone-fruit notes under a citrus layer. These are the sort of flavours that suit all-day vaping because they are recognisable and rarely tiring.

If you want tropical: Pineapple Lemonade, Sweet Mango Lemonade and Tropical Punch Lemonade lean towards the heavier, juicier side. Mango and pineapple carry more natural sweetness, so they can taste fuller at the same wattage as a lemon blend.

If you want a cooling finish: look for Cold Surf, Cold Wave and Iceberg Ocean Lemonade. As a rule of thumb, names containing cold or ice point towards a cooling component. Cooling agents can feel stronger when you add nicotine shots, since a higher nicotine strength sharpens the throat sensation, so many people mix a cool flavour at a slightly lower strength than they would a non-cooled liquid.

If you like mystery: Rainbow Ocean Lemonade, Rainbow Surf and Rainbow Wave suggest mixed fruit rather than a single note. Mixed berry and tropical fruit tags appear across the range, so a rainbow bottle is a sensible pick when you cannot decide.

Two practical notes help you judge any bottle fairly. First, flavour tends to develop after mixing, so if you add shots, let the bottle rest for a few hours or overnight before judging it. Second, your device settings change flavour. A cooler, lower-wattage vape gives a gentler, more rounded lemonade. A hotter vape sharpens the citrus and can make sweet blends taste thinner. Change one thing at a time and give each setting a few minutes before deciding.

Strength and Mixing: 0mg Bottles, Nicotine Shots and the Maths

Every Caliypso product in this collection ships at 0mg. That does not mean you are limited to nicotine-free vaping. It means the nicotine decision is yours, and it is made at home with a nicotine shot rather than at the shelf.

The bottle is a 100ml size, but the liquid inside is normally filled to a lower volume, commonly around 70ml, leaving headroom. The exact fill volume is printed on the label, so check it before you do any mixing. The headroom is there so that you can add one or more 10ml nicotine shots, usually sold at a strength around 18mg per ml, and bring the finished mix up to a stated strength.

Worked examples, assuming a 70ml fill and 10ml shots at 18mg:

• One shot: 80ml total, which works out at roughly 2.25mg
• Two shots: 90ml total, which works out at roughly 4mg
• Three shots: 100ml total, which works out at roughly 5.4mg

The sum is simple. Multiply the number of shots by the shot strength and by ten to get the total milligrams of nicotine, then divide by the final volume in millilitres. Always do this with the figures printed on your own bottle and shot, because fill volumes and shot strengths vary between products.

A few mixing tips save frustration:

• Add the shots with the bottle upright and the cap on a clean surface, then close it and shake firmly for at least a minute.
• Leave the bottle to rest and shake again later. Nicotine can settle unevenly, so a second shake before the first fill is good practice.
• Label the bottle with the date and strength. Once you have mixed several, they all look alike.
• Do not top the bottle up beyond its stated capacity. If you want a higher final strength than the headroom allows, use a stronger shot rather than overfilling.

Strength is a personal choice and varies from vaper to vaper. Many adults who move from cigarettes to a sub-ohm tank settle on a lower nicotine strength than they expect, because sub-ohm devices deliver a lot of vapour per puff. If you use a restricted-draw device and want a firmer throat hit, higher strengths are more common. If you are unsure, mix the lowest option first, because you can always add a shot later but you cannot take nicotine out.

Remember also that nicotine is addictive. Adults who do not already use nicotine have no reason to start, and the 0mg bottle exists precisely so they can enjoy the flavours without it.

Device Pairing: Tanks, Sub-Ohm Coils and Refillable Pods

Caliypso is a liquid, so the device question is about what you put it in. A 100ml bottle is built for a refillable tank or a refillable pod device that you top up from a bottle with a nozzle.

Sub-ohm tanks and kits. This is the natural home for a 100ml shortfill. Sub-ohm tanks use low-resistance coils and are designed for larger, cooler clouds, which suits fruit and lemonade profiles well. UK law limits tanks to 2ml capacity, so you will refill often, and a large bottle of liquid avoids the cost of buying small bottles repeatedly. Mesh coils tend to bring out more flavour detail, while traditional round-wire coils give a warmer, softer vape.

Refillable pod kits. Many refillable pod devices use higher-resistance coils intended for a tighter draw. Shortfills can work in them, but you should check the VG and PG ratio on the label first. As a general principle, thicker, higher-VG liquids wick more slowly, and a high-resistance pod coil may struggle with a very thick mix. If your pod device is marked as suitable for sub-ohm or high-VG liquid, you are fine. If it is marked for nicotine salts only, a shortfill is likely to be too thick and you could get dry hits.

Not suitable: prefilled pods, closed pod kits that cannot be refilled, and any device that explicitly warns against freebase liquid. Always follow the maker instructions for the device.

Some practical device tips:

• Prime new coils by dripping a few drops straight onto the cotton, then let the tank sit for five to ten minutes before the first puff.
• Stay inside the wattage range printed on the coil. Running too high burns cotton and ruins the lemonade flavour fast.
• Sweet, fruit and lemonade liquids can build up residue on coils. Many vapers find a coil lasts between one and three weeks depending on use, though your results will vary.
• Keep the tank at least a third full. Letting the cotton run dry is the most common reason a coil tastes burnt.

If you are shopping for hardware at the same time as liquid, browse our vape kits, pod kits and coils categories. Matching a sub-ohm tank to a shortfill is a more reliable way to enjoy any of these 37 bottles than trying to force them into a device designed for something else.

How Caliypso Compares With Other Shortfills and Vape Formats

It helps to place Caliypso against the other things you could be buying, because the right comparison is usually between formats rather than between brand names.

Against dessert and custard shortfills. Many shortfill houses build their reputation on bakery notes, cream and layered sweet profiles. Those recipes are rich and can feel heavy over a long session. Caliypso sits at the other end of the spectrum, with drinks, citrus and fruit. If you want something that behaves like a cold soft drink rather than a pudding, this range is a closer match.

Against high-end layered shortfills. Some American-style houses are known for complex multi-note recipes and charge accordingly. Caliypso does not compete on that footing. It is a value-tier range that focuses on approachable, drinkable flavours, and the single price tier makes it easy to experiment.

Against nicotine salt bottles. Nicotine salts come in 10ml bottles, are designed for small pod devices and are sold with nicotine already included. They deliver a smooth throat feel at higher strengths in a compact device. A Caliypso shortfill needs a tank and some mixing, but the cost per millilitre is generally much lower, which suits people who vape heavily or share a bottle.

Against rechargeable big-puff vapes. Since the single-use disposable ban, rechargeable big-puff devices have taken over from throwaway bars. They are convenient and need no mixing, but you are tied to whatever flavours that device offers and you buy a new unit when it runs out. A tank and a bottle of shortfill give more control, more flavour choice and less hardware waste.

• Convenience: big-puff rechargeables and pod kits win
• Flavour variety per pound: shortfills win
• Learning curve: shortfills are steeper, since you handle mixing and refilling
• Nicotine-free options: shortfills win, since 0mg is the default state

Whichever format you choose, compare on cost per millilitre and on how often you will realistically refill, not just on the shelf price of the bottle in your hand.

New Vapers and Experienced Vapers: Which Bottles Suit Whom

Shortfills are not the easiest format to start with, but they are not out of reach either. How you approach Caliypso depends on where you are on the learning curve.

If you are new to vaping. Be honest about whether you want to deal with mixing and refilling. Many adults moving away from smoking find a simple pod kit or a rechargeable device easier on day one, using nicotine salt liquid or a prefilled pod. If you do want to start with a tank and shortfill, pick a beginner kit with a clear fill port, choose one standalone lemonade such as Original Lemonade or Strawberry Lemonade, and mix at a modest strength. Read the device guide and the shot instructions twice before you start.

A good new-vaper setup looks like this:

• A starter tank kit with replaceable coils and a clear refill instruction
• One 100ml bottle in a flavour you already like the idea of, so you are not guessing
• One or two nicotine shots if you want nicotine, or none if you do not
• A spare coil, because the first one rarely lasts as long as you hope

If you are experienced. The range suits the vaper who rotates flavours, runs a sub-ohm tank and wants volume. Lemonade profiles are well suited to mesh coil tanks and cooler settings, and the 37-bottle range lets you build a rotation without overspending. Colour families give you a natural way to try variations: pick Blue Ocean Lemonade, Blue Surf and Blue Wave side by side and see what the same colour theme does in three different recipes.

If you are nicotine-free. This is the group for whom shortfills make the most sense. You use the bottle straight from the box, mix nothing, and get a large volume of liquid at a low cost.

If you are a heavy daily vaper. A 100ml bottle goes much further than 10ml bottles, but it also means you have to commit to a flavour. Many heavy users buy two or three different bottles at once and rotate so palate fatigue does not set in.

Spotting Genuine Caliypso Stock, Buying Tips, Warranty and Returns

Counterfeit e-liquid is a real problem in the UK market, and it is more common for sought-after names than for niche ones. Caliypso is a value brand and carries less counterfeiting risk than some big names, but the safest approach is always to buy from a retailer that sources through proper channels. All of our stock is 100% genuine.

When checking any bottle, look for these signs:

• A complete label. UK retail e-liquid should show the product name, volume, ingredients, batch information and a date marking, together with a responsible UK-facing contact address.
• Consistent print quality. Blurred text, misspellings, off-colour logos or mismatched fonts are red flags.
• A working child-resistant closure. The cap should feel firm and designed for the job, not flimsy or slightly different from other bottles in the same range.
• Tamper evidence. A broken seal or a bottle that rattles with the wrong fill level is worth querying.
• A realistic price. If a 100ml bottle is on offer for far less than every other retailer, ask why.

Tips for buying well:

• Check the fill volume on the product page, since 100ml is the bottle size and not always the liquid volume.
• Order a few different flavours rather than one large quantity until you know what you like.
• Order your nicotine shots with your liquid if you need them, so the mix is ready on delivery day.
• Keep your order confirmation until the bottle is finished, in case you need to refer to a batch code.

Warranty and returns. E-liquid is a consumable, so there is no device-style warranty. You are still covered by your statutory rights under consumer law: goods should be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. If a bottle arrives damaged, leaking or not as described, contact customer support with your order number and clear photos. As a general rule, e-liquids that have been opened are not eligible for change-of-mind returns, for hygiene reasons, but sealed items and faulty items are handled according to our returns policy. Check that page for the exact terms.

UK Legal Context, Value, Storage and Recycling

UK vaping law explains why Caliypso looks the way it does, so it is worth understanding the rules even if you never plan to read the regulations.

Why 100ml is allowed. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, refill bottles for nicotine-containing e-liquid are capped at 10ml. Nicotine-free liquid is outside that cap. That is why a Caliypso bottle can hold up to 100ml: it is sold at 0mg. The headroom in the bottle is designed for nicotine shots, which are 10ml bottles in their own right, within the limits for nicotine-containing products.

Nicotine strength cap. The maximum legal strength for nicotine-containing e-liquid, nicotine salt liquid and nicotine shots sold in the UK is 20mg per ml. If you mix shots into a shortfill, the final strength should stay well below that figure, typically in the low single digits, depending on how many shots you add. The same 20mg limit applies to prefilled pods and to the rechargeable devices that replaced disposables.

Tank size. Tanks sold in the UK are limited to 2ml capacity. This is why you will be refilling regularly, and why a larger bottle of shortfill is practical.

The single-use disposable ban. Since June 2025, single-use disposable vapes can no longer be sold in the UK. This affected the throwaway bars many adults had been buying, and it moved the market towards rechargeable, refillable or pod-based devices. Shortfill-and-tank vaping was never affected by that ban, because it relies on reusable hardware.

Age. It is illegal to sell vaping products to anyone under 18, and it is illegal for an adult to buy them on behalf of someone under 18. We sell strictly to adults and may ask for age verification at checkout or on delivery.

None of this is legal advice, and rules can change, so check official UK government guidance if you need certainty about a specific point.

Honest value guidance. Value in vaping is about cost per millilitre and cost per vape session, not the headline price of a bottle. A 100ml shortfill in a single value-tier price band typically costs a fraction per millilitre of the same liquid in 10ml bottles, and far less than the equivalent flavour variety bought as prefilled pods. Add the cost of nicotine shots if you use them, since those are extra, and account for coils, which are a running cost with any tank. For a regular vaper, the saving is real. For an occasional vaper, a 100ml bottle could take months to finish, which raises a freshness question, so consider smaller bottles or share one with a friend.

You also pay with time. Mixing, shaking, refilling and replacing coils all take more effort than clicking in a pod. If convenience matters more to you than saving money, a pod kit may be better value in practice.

Storing your liquid. Keep bottles upright, capped, out of direct sunlight and away from heat. A cupboard or drawer works. Nicotine-containing liquid darkens over time, which is normal and not usually a sign of a fault, though very dark or oddly smelling liquid is worth discarding. Keep every bottle well away from children and pets, and never decant liquid into a container that could be mistaken for a drink.

Looking after your tank. Rinse the tank with warm water when you change flavours, let it dry fully, and replace coils when flavour fades or you notice a burnt taste. Fruit and sweet liquids can leave residue, so clean the tank before storing it for a long period.

Recycling and drop-off points. Empty plastic bottles can usually go into household plastic recycling once rinsed, but local council rules vary, so check yours. Vape devices, chargers and batteries are different: they count as electrical waste and must never go in household rubbish or normal recycling. Many vape shops and larger electrical retailers offer take-back, and household waste recycling centres accept small electricals and batteries. Search for your nearest vape recycling drop-off point if you are unsure, and bring spent coils, old tanks and dead devices with you when you go.
