Banana E-Liquids

Banana E-Liquids: Vaping's Most Underrated Fruit, Curated Properly

Banana is the quiet achiever of the e-liquid world. It never tops the trend charts, it rarely fronts a brand's marketing, and yet ask the staff of any vape shop what they actually take home and a banana liquid appears in the answer far more often than the sales rankings would predict. There is a reason: done well, banana is one of the smoothest, most comforting profiles in vaping, a flavour that sits somewhere between fruit and dessert and does the job of both. Our collection keeps it deliberately tight: 17 banana e-liquids, priced from £2.49 to £7.99, with every bottle on the shelf because it earned the spot.

What makes this collection unusual is its breadth of makers relative to its size. Eleven brands contribute to just seventeen liquids: Hayati and Doozy lead with three each, Bar Juice and Lost Mary bring two apiece, and Angel, Crystal Prime, Elf Bar, Elux, IVG, SKE and Vampire Vape each field exactly one. When a brand carries a single banana liquid, that liquid is its best banana idea, which makes this page closer to a tasting menu than a warehouse aisle. Nearly every bottle here is a house's signature take.

The practical frame first. Strengths run from the UK legal maximum of 20mg down through 10mg and 5mg to 0mg nicotine free, all TPD compliant in 10ml bottles for nicotine containing liquid, with two large format 100ml bottles crowning the range. Qualifying nic salts join the buy 5 for £10 offer; bigger bottles pair on buy 2 for £14. Delivery is free over £20, orders before 4pm dispatch the same working day with next-day options, all stock is 100% genuine, and sales are strictly 18+ with age verification on every order.

This guide covers the flavour's split personality, the iced and dessert wings of the shelf, the strawberry and mango blends, a proper explanation of the two 100ml Hayati bottles and what 50/50 versus 70/30 actually means, and the arithmetic that makes exploring the whole family cost less than a cinema ticket.

Foam Sweet or Ripe Fruit: Banana's Split Personality

No flavour divides a room like banana, and the division is almost never about banana itself. It is about which banana. The flavour has two distinct identities in e-liquid form, they taste remarkably different, and most people who say they dislike banana vapes have only met the wrong one.

The foam banana is the confectionery identity: the taste of the pick and mix classic, soft, sweet, a little vanilla tinged, with that unmistakable candy character that shares DNA with the old banana milkshake powders. It is a nostalgic, dessert leaning profile, rounder and more forgiving than any real fruit, and it is the banana that dominates sweet shop styled liquids. If you loved the foam sweets as a kid, this identity is a straight line back.

The ripe banana chases the actual fruit: brighter, slightly green at the edges, with the fresh sweetness of a banana at peak yellowness rather than the mellow depth of candy. It is harder to mix well, because real banana's flavour compounds are volatile and delicate, and the versions that succeed tend to come from the most technically capable houses. Ripe banana pairs beautifully with other fruits, which is why it anchors the blend wing of this collection.

Most bottles on this shelf sit consciously on one side or the other, and the product descriptions tell you which. As a rough navigation aid: the Banana Split liquids live on the foam side, the fruit blends lean ripe, and the banana ice family plants a flag near the middle, using chill to freshen a sweet base.

One more thing worth saying plainly: banana is among the smoothest vaping experiences available at any strength. The profile has no sharp edges, no acidity, no astringency, which makes it a superb rest flavour between louder bottles and an outstanding choice for evening vaping. Vapers who find citrus too sharp and candy too loud frequently discover that banana was the all day profile they were looking for all along. The wider nic salt collection holds plenty of smooth options, but few match a good banana for sheer ease of vaping.

Banana Ice: The Cornerstone Five

Banana ice is the form in which most of Britain met this flavour, carried to ubiquity by the device era, and it remains the spine of the collection: five houses bottle their own version, and tasting across them is the definitive banana education. The formula is consistent, a sweet foam leaning banana base under a clean coolant chill, but the tuning varies enough that regulars develop fierce loyalties.

The five, in price order:

• Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Banana Ice, £2.69. The value anchor and the sweetest of the set, tuned to match the crystal device flavours that made Hayati a household name among UK vapers. Big banana, firm frost, zero subtlety, maximum comfort.
• Crystal Clear Nic Salts Banana Ice, £2.79. A touch cleaner and lighter on the sweetness, with the chill doing slightly more of the talking.
• Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts Banana Ice, £2.89. The bar flavour faithful, engineered to mirror the profile people knew from the disposable bar era, and one of the most reordered banana bottles in the store.
• Elfliq Nic Salts Banana Ice, £2.89. Elf Bar's official liquid line, and the closest legal thing to the taste of the original device that introduced millions to the flavour.
• Elux Legend Nic Salt Banana Ice, £2.89. The boldest of the five, in keeping with Elux's Legend heritage: a heavier banana with a deeper chill for vapers who want the profile at full volume.

Choosing between them without tasting is guesswork, which is exactly what the 5 for £10 deal exists to fix: all five as a single basket costs £10 flat, a complete comparative tasting of the banana ice canon for less than the price of two of them at full whack elsewhere. That basket is, in our counter opinion, one of the single best value orders on the entire site.

If the frost is your favourite part, the pattern extends across every fruit we stock; the ice e-liquid collection gathers the whole frozen catalogue, from berries to melon, in one place.

Banana Split: The Dessert Corner

Two liquids on this shelf take banana where it always secretly wanted to go: pudding. The banana split, that gloriously excessive construction of banana, ice cream, sauce and sprinkles, turns out to translate into vapour with remarkable fidelity, and the two versions we stock approach it from opposite ends of the price list.

The Angel Nic Salts by Vapes Bars Banana Split at £2.49 is the cheapest bottle in the entire banana collection and one of the best value dessert liquids in the store. Angel's take leads with the foam banana, folds in a creamy vanilla middle and finishes with a suggestion of chocolate sauce sweetness. For a £2.49 bottle, and £2 in a multi buy basket, the layering is genuinely impressive.

The Doozy Temptations Nic Salts Banana Split at £2.79 is the craft interpretation. Doozy's Temptations range is its dessert showcase, and this bottle demonstrates why the Midlands house has the mixing reputation it does: the banana is riper, the cream is richer, and the elements arrive in sequence rather than all at once, banana on the inhale, cream through the middle, sweetness on the exhale. Side by side with the Angel, it is a masterclass in how two mixers can read the same dessert differently, and at £5.28 for the pair, or £4 of a five bottle deal basket, the comparison is nearly free.

Dessert liquids reward slightly different handling than fruits. They shine at lower power, where the cream notes stay soft instead of turning heavy; they suit evening vaping particularly well, functioning as a legitimately satisfying stand in for an actual pudding; and they pair beautifully in rotation with something sharp or iced, which stops the richness accumulating. Their one tax is coil life: creamy, sweet liquids coat coils faster than crisp fruits, so keep spares on hand and swap at the first sign of dullness.

If the dessert direction wins you over, it extends across the store, and Doozy's Temptations range in particular rewards further exploration through the wider Doozy shelf, where the same craft applies to custards, tarts and beyond.

Strawberry, Mango and Berries: Banana the Team Player

Banana's mellowness makes it an exceptional blending fruit. It has no acidity to clash with sharper partners, and its rounded sweetness fills the gaps other fruits leave, which is why the blend wing of this collection contains some of its most complete all day liquids.

Strawberry banana is the classic partnership, the smoothie blend that needs no introduction. The Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts Strawberry Banana at £2.89 is our shelf's definitive version: jammy strawberry up front, foam banana filling in behind, the two sweetnesses interlocking into something creamier than either fruit alone. It vapes like a milkshake without any cream in the recipe, and it converts strawberry loyalists into banana believers on a weekly basis. Vapers who arrive from the strawberry collection will find it the gentlest possible introduction to this page.

Banana and mango is the tropical direction, pairing banana's mellow base with mango's fragrant, sunny intensity. Mango brings the aromatic top notes banana lacks, banana gives mango a body it never has solo, and the combination is the closest this collection comes to a holiday. Banana with mixed berries rounds out the blend wing, setting the mellow base against a darker, sharper berry medley for a profile with genuine contrast between inhale and exhale.

Blends are also the answer to the most common banana objection. People who find a straight banana too much of one thing, too sweet, too soft, too constant, almost always get on with a blend, because the partner fruit provides the punctuation banana lacks. If you tried a banana ice once and shrugged, a strawberry banana is a fundamentally different proposition and worth the £2.89 to discover.

The exploration path from here is obvious and cheap. Anchor a multi buy basket with your favourite from this page, then borrow neighbours: something from the watermelon collection for the fresh end, or a darker berry for contrast. Banana's gift is playing well with everything, and the basket maths never punishes curiosity.

The 100ml Chapter: Hayati Pro Max Shortfills, 50/50 and 70/30

Two bottles sit apart from everything else on this shelf, and they deserve their own chapter. The Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml Banana Ice comes in two versions at £7.99 each: a 50/50 bottle and a 70/30 bottle. Same flavour, same size, same price, different physics, and choosing correctly matters more than any other decision on this page.

First, what a shortfill is. UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle, but the cap applies only to liquid that contains nicotine. A shortfill is a large bottle sold nicotine free with space left at the top, so you can add a nicotine shot yourself if you want one, or vape it as it comes at 0mg. It is the legal, economical route to volume: 100ml of liquid for £7.99 works out at a fraction of the per ml cost of 10ml bottles, which is why high volume vapers gravitate to the format.

Now the ratio question. The numbers describe the balance of VG and PG, the two base liquids in every e-liquid, and the balance changes how the liquid behaves:

• 50/50 is the balanced blend: thin enough to wick reliably in small pod coils, with a firmer flavour and throat presence. If your device is a pod kit or a modest starter setup, the 50/50 bottle is your match.
• 70/30 is VG heavy: thicker, smoother on the throat and considerably more vapour dense. It needs the larger coils and higher power of sub ohm kits to wick properly, and in the right hardware it turns Banana Ice into a rolling cloud of cold custard smooth vapour. In a small pod coil, by contrast, it wicks too slowly and burns; wrong tool, wrong job.

The rule is simple: match the ratio to the hardware, not to habit. Check your kit's coil rating, pick the corresponding bottle, and both deliver the same excellent flavour their 10ml siblings carry. The shortfill collection extends the format across our whole flavour library, and the nicotine free collection is the home of everything 0mg if you plan to vape the bottles unshotted. Better yet, the pair qualifies for the 2 for £14 offer, of which more in the deals section below.

Strength, Softness and the Banana Advantage

Every liquid on this shelf is available across the standard UK strength ladder, 20mg, 10mg and 5mg nicotine salts plus 0mg options, and banana interacts with that ladder in a way worth understanding before you choose.

Banana is the smoothest major flavour family we sell. No acid, no citrus bite, no cooling burn unless you choose an iced version, nothing that scratches. The practical consequence: a 20mg banana salt vapes gentler than a 20mg of almost anything else, which cuts both ways. For adults switching from smoking who need full strength but hate harshness, a 20mg banana is arguably the most comfortable maximum strength vape available, and the 20mg collection holds the full strength versions of everything here. For everyone else, that same smoothness means it pays to be honest about how much nicotine you actually need, because nothing in the flavour will remind you to slow down.

20mg suits proper smokers making the switch and heavy prefilled device users, who are typically already at this strength without realising. 10mg, found with its peers in the 10mg collection, is the banana crowd's favourite: satisfying for moderate needs and relaxed enough for the long, leisurely vaping sessions this flavour invites. 5mg serves light and social vapers, and 0mg has a special relationship with banana: as one of vaping's most purely pleasant flavours, it is a natural choice for people who have finished with nicotine but keep the ritual, and the two 100ml bottles serve that group at volume.

Strength strategy for this shelf mirrors good practice everywhere, with one banana specific footnote. The standard advice holds: start higher rather than lower if you are between options, change one variable at a time, and use the mixed strength flexibility of the multi buy deals to step down gradually if that is your goal. The footnote: because banana is so easy to vape, it is the single best flavour family in which to run your lowest strength bottle. A sharp flavour at low strength can feel like nothing; a banana at 5mg still feels like dessert. Vapers stepping down report the transition feels smallest here, which is as close to a practical tip as flavour science gets.

Eleven Brands, Seventeen Bottles: The Quick Read

A collection this curated rewards a brand map, so here is the whole shelf in one pass.

Hayati (3 liquids) spans the full architecture of the collection single handedly: the £2.69 Crystal Pro Max Banana Ice salt for pod vapers, and both £7.99 100ml Pro Max shortfills for the volume crowd. No other house covers small bottle and large bottle banana from one flavour identity. Doozy (3) is the craft corner, its Temptations Banana Split leading a trio that treats banana as a mixing project rather than a commodity; the house rewards exploration. Bar Juice (2) owns the value blends, with its Banana Ice and the definitive Strawberry Banana both at £2.89 in the 5000 series. Lost Mary (2) translates the tuning of Britain's favourite pod hardware into bottles, ideal for its device loyalists who want their familiar flavours in refillable form.

The seven single bottle houses each bring a distinct argument. Angel fields the £2.49 Banana Split, the budget champion of the entire shelf. Crystal Prime and SKE bottle the banana their device fans already know. Elf Bar sends Elfliq Banana Ice, the official taste of the most famous name in vaping. Elux contributes its Legend tuned heavyweight. IVG brings the polish of one of the UK's most awarded juice houses to a single, carefully balanced entry. And Vampire Vape, one of British vaping's founding mixers, rounds out the shelf with decades of flavour craft behind its bottle.

How to use the map: device heritage vapers should start with their own brand's bottle, since the flavour match to the hardware they knew is deliberate. Flavour first vapers should start with the house whose style matches their palate, Doozy for depth, Elux for volume, IVG for balance, Angel and Bar Juice for value. And the undecided should ignore brand entirely and build a mixed five, which the deals section below prices at £2 a bottle. Seventeen liquids is a small enough shelf to know completely within a couple of months, which is precisely the pleasure of a curated collection: unlike the sprawling walls elsewhere in the store, this one can be finished.

Banana Economics: Five Packs, Pairs and the £20 Line

Small collection, full deal coverage: both of our headline juice offers run across this shelf, and the arithmetic lands particularly neatly here.

Buy 5 for £10 covers the qualifying 10ml nic salts, dropping bottles priced £2.49 to £2.89 to £2 flat. Two ready made baskets suggest themselves immediately. The banana ice canon: all five versions, Hayati, Crystal Clear, Bar Juice, Elfliq and Elux, individually £13.15, as a basket £10, the complete comparative tasting described earlier. Or the full spectrum flight: one banana ice, both banana splits, the strawberry banana and one wildcard blend, a tour of every wing of the collection for the same £10. Either way you save over £3 and learn more about your own palate than any description can teach. Strengths mix freely within a basket, so a stepping down vaper can span 20mg and 10mg in one order. The complete qualifying range across all flavours lives in the 5 for £10 collection.

Buy 2 for £14 is practically tailor made for this shelf's summit: the two Hayati Pro Max 100ml bottles at £7.99 each pair to £14, saving £1.98 and delivering 200ml of Banana Ice, one bottle for the pod kit, one for the cloud kit, or both for whichever ratio your hardware prefers. For a two device household, it is among the tidiest deals in the store.

The £20 line is the last piece: free UK delivery unlocks at £20, and this shelf's natural orders bracket it perfectly. A five pack alone at £10 does not qualify; a five pack plus the 2 for £14 pair lands at £24 and does, which is why the combined order has become the signature banana restock among our regulars: seven bottles, two formats, every deal engaged, postage free, dispatched same day when ordered before 4pm. If you need a topper instead, any bottle from the wider e-liquid wall pushes a basket over the line, and the tenner saved on postage over two orders effectively funds the next experiment.

From Prefilled Banana to Bottled Banana: The Switch That Pays for Itself

A large share of the people reading this page met Banana Ice inside a prefilled device, and the single most useful thing we can tell that reader is this: your flavour is on this shelf, from the same brand, at a fraction of the running cost. The migration from prefilled hardware to bottles is the biggest money saving move in vaping, and banana is as good a flavour as any to make it with.

The taste match is closer than sceptics expect, because it is not an imitation. Elf Bar's Elfliq Banana Ice is the official liquid of the device maker itself; SKE and Crystal Prime bottle the recipes their crystal hardware made famous; Lost Mary does the same for its pod systems; and Elux Legend Banana Ice carries the exact flavour identity of the Legend devices. These are the same houses tuning the same profiles for a different container. Vapers doing a blind comparison against their old device routinely struggle to tell the difference, and when they can, the bottle version is usually judged cleaner.

Now the money. A heavy prefilled user replacing hardware every day or two spends serious weekly cash on what is, in the end, a few millilitres of liquid and a disposable battery. The bottle route splits those costs: a refillable pod kit is a one off purchase of a few pounds, replacement pods cost pennies per day, and the liquid itself, at £2 a bottle on the 5 for £10 deal, delivers 50ml for £10. For most switchers the whole setup pays for itself inside the first fortnight, and the savings compound every week after that. It is not a marginal difference; it is the difference between vaping as a noticeable expense and vaping as loose change.

The practical path: pick the bottled version of the flavour you already know from the list above, choose 20mg if your devices were 20mg, add a simple kit from the pod collection linked later in this guide, and give yourself two days to adjust to the slightly different draw. That is the entire journey. The flavour stays, the spend drops, and the drawer full of dead devices stops filling up.

Keeping Banana at Its Best: Storage, Steeping and Shelf Life

Banana liquids reward a little care between the letterbox and the last drop, and because this shelf mixes bright fruits, creams and a pair of 100ml bottles, it is worth knowing the housekeeping that keeps each style tasting the way its mixer intended.

Storage basics apply to everything. Heat, light and air are the three enemies of any e-liquid. Keep bottles capped tightly, out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, and they will comfortably see out their printed best before dates, typically a year or two from manufacture. A kitchen drawer or cupboard is ideal; a car dashboard in summer is the worst place in Britain for a bottle of juice. Nicotine containing liquids kept warm and open oxidise, darkening in colour and taking on a peppery edge that no flavour, banana least of all, benefits from.

Creamy profiles deepen with a little age. Dessert leaning bottles like the two Banana Splits often taste rounder a week or two after opening, as the flavour compounds continue to marry, a process home mixers call steeping. If a fresh dessert bottle seems to hold its elements slightly apart, banana here, cream there, give it a few days in the drawer with an occasional shake and taste again. Bright iced fruits, by contrast, are made to be vaped fresh; their sparkle is the point, and they have nothing to gain from waiting.

The 100ml bottles deserve particular respect, simply because they are open longer. A 10ml bottle lives a short life; a 100ml bottle may be in service for weeks, especially at 0mg where consumption is leisurely. Keep the big bottle capped and cool, decant into your tank rather than letting the bottle stand open, and if you add a nicotine shot, shake thoroughly and let it settle for a few hours so the strength distributes evenly through the full volume.

In the device itself, banana is kind: it wicks predictably and does not stain pods the way dark berry liquids can. The one habit worth keeping is not letting a filled pod stand for a week unused, as any liquid slowly thickens in an idle coil. Fill what you will vape, store the rest in the bottle, and every millilitre of the seventeen liquids on this shelf will taste as intended from first puff to last.

Where Banana Leads: Neighbours, Rotations and Next Steps

Seventeen bottles is a shelf you will eventually know completely, so it is worth mapping where the flavour leads once you have found your footing here.

Toward dessert. If the Banana Split corner is your favourite, your direction is clear: the custards, creams and bakery profiles scattered through the wider store continue the journey, with Doozy's Temptations range the flagship. Dessert vaping is its own culture, evening weighted and rotation friendly, and banana split is its perfect gateway.

Toward the tropics. If the mango blend wins, the tropical corners of the store follow naturally: mango leading, pineapple and exotic mixes behind. Tropical profiles share banana's low acidity, so the transition is seamless on the palate.

Toward the smoothie. Strawberry banana fans usually turn out to be smoothie vapers at heart, drawn to soft blended fruit over sharp single notes. The berry blend families across the e-liquid wall serve that palate generously, and the strawberry collection linked earlier is the obvious first stop.

Toward the cold. If it was the ice in banana ice all along, the frozen catalogue linked in the cornerstone section runs the same trick across every fruit we sell, and dedicated cold palates eventually find their way to pure menthol, the profile where the chill is the whole point; the menthol collection awaits when they do.

On hardware. This shelf also quietly prompts equipment thinking. The 10ml salts belong in pod systems, and anyone still vaping prefilled hardware can cut costs sharply by pairing a refillable kit from the pod kit collection with this page's bottles. The 70/30 shortfill, meanwhile, is an invitation to try sub ohm vaping if you never have; one £7.99 bottle is a cheap way to discover whether clouds are your thing.

A closing rotation thought: whatever else you vape, banana earns a permanent slot for the same reason it earned this page. It rests the palate, it suits every hour after lunch, and at £2 a bottle in the deals it is the cheapest comfort we sell. The FAQ below handles the practical questions; the shelf above handles the rest. Welcome to the quiet achiever's fan club.
