Menthol E-Liquids

Menthol E-Liquids: Britain's Coldest Flavour, Done Properly

Every flavour trend in vaping rises and falls except one. Fruits have their seasons, desserts come and go, but menthol has been a permanent fixture on every serious juice wall since the first cartomiser was filled, and it shows no sign of moving. There is a reason for that permanence: cold is not really a flavour at all, it is a sensation, and sensations do not go out of fashion. Our menthol collection currently holds 43 e-liquids from twelve brands, priced from £2.49 up to £7.99, spanning everything from surgical single note menthol to buttery mint sweets and frosted fruit hybrids.

The brand spread tells its own story about who takes cold seriously. Hayati commits hardest with fifteen menthol liquids, more than a third of the entire shelf. Elux follows with six, IVG contributes four of its award winning recipes, and Bar Juice and Lost Mary bring three each. Crystal Prime, Elf Bar, Doozy and SKE add two apiece, with single precision entries from Angel, Oxva and Vampire Vape completing the wall. Between them they cover the full temperature dial, from a polite chill to the kind of arctic blast that makes your eyes water in the best possible way.

Menthol buyers tend to know exactly what they want, so here are the headlines up front. Strengths run at 20mg, 10mg and 5mg with 0mg options for nicotine free vapers, all inside UK TPD rules. Qualifying nic salts are 5 for £10, larger bottles are 2 for £14. Delivery is free over £20, orders before 4pm are dispatched the same working day for next-day arrival, everything is 100% genuine UK stock, and sales are strictly 18+.

What follows is the most thorough guide to this collection we could write: the real difference between menthol, mint and ice, a tour of the mint family from spearmint to butter mints, the frosted fruit hybrids, why so many former menthol smokers land on this exact page, and how to keep a cold vape tasting cold. Pour something chilled and read on; by the end you will know this wall as well as we do, and you will know exactly which bottle deserves the first slot in your basket.

Menthol, Mint and Ice: Three Words That Do Not Mean the Same Thing

The single most common mix up we untangle for customers is the difference between menthol, mint and ice. The three words get used interchangeably on forums and even on some packaging, but they describe genuinely different experiences, and knowing the distinction is the difference between ordering the bottle you wanted and the bottle you merely recognised.

Menthol is the pure cooling compound, originally derived from mint plants and now produced to pharmaceutical grades. A true menthol e-liquid tastes of almost nothing except cold: a clean, penetrating chill on the inhale, a frosty bloom on the exhale, and no leafy or sweet character to speak of. The Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Menthol at £2.69 is exactly this: cold as a concept, bottled. This is the profile former menthol cigarette smokers usually mean when they ask for menthol.

Mint is the flavour of the plant itself, and it always carries something green and aromatic alongside the coolness. Spearmint is sweet and gentle, the taste of chewing gum. Peppermint is sharper and more pungent, the taste of candy canes. Mint liquids are chilly, but the cold accompanies a recognisable herbal flavour rather than replacing it.

Ice is a modifier, not a flavour. When a label says Banana Ice or Berry Ice, a synthetic coolant delivers the cold sensation of menthol without its taste, letting the fruit stay in charge while the temperature drops. Ice blends belong to their fruit families first, which is why they live in our ice e-liquid collection as well as alongside their parent flavours. The coolant itself is flavourless, which is precisely the point: banana stays banana and berry stays berry, only colder, whereas a true menthol would stamp its own taste over the top of both.

This collection contains all three species plus every hybrid between them, so a quick self diagnosis helps. If you want cold and nothing else, shop the menthol single notes. If you want a flavour you can name with your chill, go mint. If you want fruit that happens to be freezing, follow the ice tags. The sections below walk each family in turn, and every product page states which camp its bottle sits in.

The Mint Family: Fresh, Snow, Spear and Butter

Mint is where this collection shows its range, because the plant has more personalities than any other flavour source we stock. Four expressions dominate our shelf, and each earns its place.

Fresh Mint is the standard bearer, and no fewer than four brands offer their own version so you can taste house styles side by side. The Crystal Prime Nic Salts Fresh Mint at £2.59 is the value pick, crisp and clean with a firm exhale chill. Crystal Clear's version at £2.79, Hayati's Crystal Pro Max at £2.69 and Bar Juice 5000's at £2.89 each tilt the sweetness and frost differently. Tasting two fresh mints against each other is the fastest education in brand character you can buy for under six pounds.

Snow Mint pushes the temperature to the extreme. The Angel Nic Salts by Vapes Bars Snow Mint at £2.49, the cheapest bottle in the collection, layers heavy coolant over a light mint so the cold arrives first, second and third. It is the shelf's answer for vapers who complain that nothing is cold enough anymore, a common grumble because cooling perception fades as your palate acclimatises. Keep one in the drawer even if you do not vape it daily; as an occasional palate shock it has no equal on this shelf.

Spearmint takes the opposite road: gentle, sweet, garden fresh, closer to a stick of gum than a blizzard. If sharp menthol feels aggressive, spearmint is the friendly cousin worth meeting.

Butter Mints is the wildcard and one of the most quietly brilliant liquids we stock. The Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts Butter Mints at £2.89 recreates the old fashioned creamy mint humbug: smooth, rich, softly cool rather than cold, a dessert and a mint at once. Vapers who find pure menthol clinical often fall hard for it, and it makes an inspired evening counterpart to a sharper daytime mint.

The practical takeaway: mint is a spectrum from creamy to arctic, and this collection covers the length of it. Start from where your sweet tooth sits, not from the coldest bottle on the shelf, and you will find your keeper faster.

Frosted Fruit: Where Menthol Meets the Fruit Bowl

Scan the flavour tags across these 43 liquids and you find a surprising orchard: grape, blackcurrant, pear, lemon, apple, blueberry, orange, kiwi, peach, mixed berries and even bubblegum all appear alongside the mint and menthol notes. These hybrids are where the collection gets creative, and they solve a real problem: pure cold, however satisfying, can feel austere as an all day vape. A fruit note gives the chill something to carry.

A few pairings deserve their own mention:

• Lemon and mint is the standout partnership. The Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Lemon Mint at £2.69 sets sharp citrus against clean coolness, and the effect is remarkably like a frozen lemonade. Citrus oils and coolants amplify each other, which is why this duo appears in mixology far beyond vaping.
• Menthol mojito borrows from the cocktail bar: lime brightness, a suggestion of sweetness and a rush of mint. Both Bar Juice 5000 and Hayati bottle a Fresh Menthol Mojito, and between the two versions you get a masterclass in how one idea splits into two house styles.
• Dark fruit and frost, the grape and blackcurrant end of the shelf, delivers the closest thing vaping has to a chilled cassis. These are the richest of the frozen hybrids and suit vapers who find berry blends too sweet without a cold counterweight. They also behave beautifully in the evening slot of a rotation, where their depth reads almost like a dessert without ever losing the frost.
• Orchard frost, the pear and apple entries, is the subtlest corner: soft, watery fruit that shares menthol's clean character rather than fighting it.

Hybrids are also the natural bridge for fruit vapers drifting coldward. If your usual order comes from the watermelon collection or the blue raspberry shelf, a frosted fruit from this page is a smaller step than a straight menthol, and plenty of customers who arrive for the fruit stay for the frost. The reverse journey works too: menthol lifers who add one fruited bottle to a 5 for £10 basket routinely report that it becomes the bottle they finish first.

After the Menthol Cigarette Ban: Why Switchers Land Here

In May 2020 the UK banned menthol cigarettes outright, ending decades of crushball filters and green packs. The ban applied to combustible tobacco, not to vaping, so menthol e-liquid remains fully legal, and this page has been a landing spot for former menthol smokers ever since. If that is your story, this section is for you, written plainly and without any medical claims: simply the practical knowledge we share over the counter with adults switching from smoking.

First, expectations. A menthol e-liquid will not taste identical to a menthol cigarette, because most of what a cigarette delivers is combustion. What a good menthol vape recreates extremely well is the part most menthol smokers actually miss: the cold, clean inhale sensation. Most switchers tell us the vape version tastes cleaner and colder than what they left behind. Single note menthol liquids, like Hayati's Crystal Pro Max Menthol, are the closest starting point; snow mint styles suit those who chased the strongest crushballs.

Second, strength. A twenty a day smoker generally needs 20mg nicotine salt to feel properly satisfied, and undershooting strength is the single most common reason a switch attempt fails. Salts at 20mg deliver without harshness, and menthol's cooling actually smooths the sensation further. Lighter smokers can start at 10mg. Our 20mg collection and 10mg collection carry every strength appropriate liquid we stock, and the strength dropdown on each product page shows what is available bottle by bottle.

Third, hardware. A simple pod kit with a tight, cigarette like draw serves switchers best, and pairing one with a 5 for £10 basket of menthols is a complete starter setup for well under twenty pounds. The starter vape kit collection is built precisely for this moment.

Finally, patience. The first days of any switch feel unfamiliar. Keep the strength honest, keep the device charged, and keep a spare bottle in the drawer. The number of customers who ordered one cautious menthol in their first basket and now reorder five at a time suggests the profile does its job.

Brand by Brand: Who Does Cold Best

Twelve brands stock this wall, and their menthol philosophies differ enough to matter.

Hayati (15 liquids) is the undisputed volume champion of the collection, fielding more menthol and mint liquids than the next three brands combined. The Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts line covers the whole spectrum at £2.69 a bottle: pure Menthol, Fresh Mint, Lemon Mint, Fresh Menthol Mojito and more. If you want to explore cold systematically without changing brand variables, Hayati is the one name that lets you do it end to end.

Elux (6) comes from the Legend lineage and runs colder and sweeter than average; its fans consider anything milder a compromise. IVG (4) brings the polish of one of the UK's most decorated juice houses, with cooling that is precisely judged rather than simply loud; browse the full IVG range to see how far that catalogue stretches. Bar Juice (3) owns the value corner and the creative one simultaneously, bottling Fresh Mint, Fresh Menthol Mojito and the cult favourite Butter Mints in its 5000 series; the Bar Juice collection is worth a wander for its fruit work too.

Lost Mary (3) translates the flavour tuning of Britain's favourite pod hardware into 10ml bottles, ideal for anyone who vaped its devices and wants the same taste refillable. Crystal Prime (2) does the same trick for its crystal device heritage, including the £2.59 Fresh Mint that undercuts nearly everything else on the shelf. Elf Bar (2) contributes Elfliq, the official liquid of the most recognised name in vaping. Doozy (2) and SKE (2) add craft depth and device authentic tuning respectively.

The single bottle brands each earn their slot: Angel with the coldest budget option in Snow Mint at £2.49, Oxva with a liquid tuned for its own acclaimed pod systems, and Vampire Vape, the Lancashire institution whose decades of menthol mixing heritage need no introduction to long term UK vapers. Whichever name you pick, the £2.49 to £2.89 pricing across the 10ml shelf keeps brand loyalty cheap to establish and cheap to abandon, and the deals below make comparing two or three houses in a single order the obvious move rather than an extravagance.

Nic Salt or Freebase: Choosing Your Cold Delivery System

Menthol vapers face the salt versus freebase question with an extra twist, because the cooling sensation interacts with nicotine feel in ways fruit vapers never notice. Here is the honest guide.

Nicotine salts dominate this collection for good reason. Salts smooth the throat hit, which lets you run satisfying strengths of 10mg or 20mg while the menthol chill stays crisp and clean rather than scratchy. The absorption is quicker too, so a short sharp cold hit does the job of a longer session. For pod kit users, which is most of the UK market now, 50/50 salt menthol is simply the correct tool. Our nicotine salt collection extends the principle across every flavour family we carry.

Freebase liquid still has its constituency among menthol fans, and it is a passionate one. Freebase delivers a firmer throat strike, and some former smokers positively want that edge; combined with menthol it produces the punchy, bracing inhale that veteran cold vapers grew up on. Freebase also suits the bigger bottle formats at the £7.99 end of this collection, where lower strengths and larger clouds are the aim. The shortfill collection is the natural next stop for that style of vaping.

A quick decision framework:

1. Vaping a small pod kit at 10mg or 20mg? Salts, no debate.
2. Want the firmest possible throat hit at moderate strength? Freebase earns its keep.
3. Chasing clouds on a powerful kit? Big bottles, low strength, and consider a 0mg from the nicotine free collection if flavour is the whole point.
4. Unsure? Start with salts. They are the forgiving option, and at £2 a bottle in the 5 for £10 deal the experiment is nearly free.

One menthol specific note: because cooling masks throat feel, menthol vapers sometimes carry higher strengths more comfortably than fruit vapers do. If a 10mg fruit liquid felt right but leaves you wanting, a 20mg menthol may sit more easily than you expect. As ever, adjust one variable at a time and let a full pod's worth of vaping cast the deciding vote.

Keeping the Cold Crisp: Setup, Airflow and the Ghost in Your Coil

Menthol is the most forgiving flavour family to vape and the least forgiving to be careless with. Three practical topics keep a cold setup performing.

Menthol ghosts. Every experienced vaper knows the phenomenon: vape a menthol liquid in a pod, refill it with strawberry, and taste minty strawberry for days. Menthol clings to coil cotton and pod plastics more stubbornly than any other flavour compound. The practical rules are simple. Dedicate a pod or coil to your menthol liquids and keep fruit in another; never expect one rinse to erase a strong mint; and when you switch a device from menthol duty to anything else, fit a fresh coil and accept no substitutes. Keeping spare coils and pods from the refillable pod range makes the discipline painless.

Temperature tuning. Cold profiles behave differently across power levels. Low power preserves the icy top note and gives a crisp, clipped exhale; high power produces warmer, denser vapour that muddies the chill into something oddly lukewarm. If your adjustable device has a sweet spot for menthol, it is at the cooler end of the coil's rated range. Tighter airflow concentrates the cooling on the palate; opening it up trades intensity for volume. Vapers who complain their menthol is not cold enough are usually running hot and wide when they should be running cool and tight.

Palate refresh. Cooling receptors acclimatise. Vape snow mint exclusively for a fortnight and it will read as merely cool; that is your nerves adjusting, not the bottle weakening. The fix costs nothing: rotate in an unfrosted flavour for a day and the cold snaps back to full volume. This is the strongest argument for making your 5 for £10 basket four menthols and one wildcard fruit rather than five of the same bottle.

None of this is complicated, but together these habits are the difference between a menthol setup that stays glacier fresh and one that mysteriously fades by week three.

Cold Cash: Menthol Value on the 5 for £10 and 2 for £14 Deals

Menthol vapers are the most predictable repeat purchasers in the shop, which makes deal literacy worth actual money here. Two offers cover this collection, and used well they cut the running cost of a cold vape to pocket change.

Buy 5 for £10 applies across qualifying 10ml nic salts. With individual bottles priced £2.49 to £2.89, five for a tenner brings the per bottle price to £2 flat. A menthol tasting flight that covers the collection's full range looks like this:

• Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Menthol, £2.69 solo, the pure cold benchmark
• Angel Nic Salts Snow Mint, £2.49 solo, the maximum frost option
• Crystal Prime Nic Salts Fresh Mint, £2.59 solo, the clean green middle ground
• Bar Juice 5000 Butter Mints, £2.89 solo, the creamy curveball
• Bar Juice 5000 Fresh Menthol Mojito, £2.89 solo, the citrus mint hybrid

Individually that basket costs £13.55; on the deal it costs £10, saving £3.55 while mapping the entire menthol landscape in one order. Check each product page for deal eligibility, mix strengths freely within the five, and note that the basket can straddle flavour families, so four menthols and a watermelon travel together happily.

Buy 2 for £14 serves the big bottle end of the collection, taking two £7.99 bottles to £14. Once you have a proven favourite this is the volume play, and heavy menthol vapers commonly settle into a rhythm of one 2 for £14 restock plus an experimental five pack each month. That combination lands over the £20 free delivery threshold every time, so postage becomes a line you simply stop paying.

Two wider pages are worth bookmarking: the 5 for £10 collection shows every qualifying bottle across all flavours, and our vape deals page aggregates every current offer in the store, juice and hardware alike. Menthol may be a habit, but at these prices it is one of the cheapest habits in vaping.

The Menthol Day: Building a Cold Rotation That Never Goes Flat

Here is a piece of counter wisdom that separates contented menthol vapers from frustrated ones: the people who love their menthol most are almost never vaping just one bottle. They run rotations, deliberately structured little line ups that play different cold styles against each other through the day, and the structure is what keeps every bottle tasting like the first time. With 43 liquids on this shelf and the 5 for £10 deal pricing bottles at £2, building a rotation is cheap enough that there is no excuse not to.

A well built menthol day looks something like this:

• Morning: the sharp opener. This is the slot for your coldest, cleanest liquid, a pure menthol or a snow mint. First thing, your palate is fresh and cooling receptors are at full sensitivity, so the most aggressive bottle in the line up lands at maximum impact. Vapers who save their iciest liquid for the evening are wasting its best performance on tired senses.
• Daytime: the workhorse. The long middle stretch of the day belongs to a moderate, balanced bottle, a fresh mint or a lightly frosted fruit hybrid. It needs to be interesting enough to enjoy and mild enough not to exhaust the receptors before dinner. This is the bottle you will get through fastest, so it is the one to buy in pairs.
• Evening: the soft landing. Creamy and gentle profiles shine here, with Butter Mints the shelf's definitive nightcap. The richness reads almost as dessert, the cool is a whisper rather than a shout, and it closes the day without resetting your palate to zero for tomorrow.
• The wildcard. One slot in every rotation should belong to something you have never tried, a mojito, a lemon mint, a frosted grape. Some wildcards flop, plenty graduate to permanent slots, and the habit keeps the whole exercise fun.

Strength can vary across the rotation too, and for many vapers it should. A common pattern is full strength in the morning bottle when the need is sharpest, and a step down for the evening bottle when puffing is more habitual than necessary. Because the multi buy deals allow mixed strengths, a single order can supply the whole tiered day.

Two mechanical notes make rotations work in practice. First, dedicate pods: menthol ghosting means your rotation ideally lives across two pods, one for the cold liquids and one for any unfrosted wildcard. Second, physically separate the bottles, morning liquid by the kettle, evening liquid by the sofa, because a rotation that requires willpower is a rotation that collapses by Thursday. None of this is essential, of course. Plenty of customers vape one fresh mint from January to December in perfect happiness. But if you have ever felt a favourite bottle fade on you, the rotation is the cure, and this collection was practically designed for it.

Beyond the Frost: Where Menthol Vapers Wander Next

Menthol loyalty runs deep, but even the most committed cold vaper benefits from a map of the surrounding territory, if only because rotation keeps the cooling receptors honest. The exits from this page are well marked.

The ice route is the shortest journey: keep the cold, add a fruit. The full frozen fruit spectrum lives in the ice collection linked earlier, with berry, citrus and melon profiles all frosted to varying depths. Menthol vapers usually acclimatise to fruit ice blends instantly because the exhale sensation is already familiar; only the flavour on top changes.

The fresh fruit route suits menthol vapers who discover, via the hybrids in this collection, that they enjoy fruit more than expected. Watermelon deserves first look because its clean, watery character echoes menthol's own tidiness. From there the sweet shop end of the spectrum opens up through the strawberry collection and beyond into candy territory.

The zero nicotine route matters to a specific group: vapers who have stepped their strength down over months and want to finish the journey without giving up the ritual of a cold inhale. Menthol is disproportionately popular at 0mg precisely because the sensation carries the experience even with no nicotine present. The nicotine free collection linked in the strength section holds the options.

The hardware route upgrades the delivery rather than the liquid. A tired coil or an underpowered battery flattens menthol faster than any other profile, and vapers who blame the bottle are often vaping the hardware's fatigue. If your cold vape has dulled and a fresh coil did not fix it, the pod kit collection is the honest next stop; modern pod systems extract noticeably more chill from the same liquid than devices even a few years old.

Wherever you wander, the rule of thumb for menthol vapers is to keep one pure cold bottle in every order. It anchors the rotation, resets the palate between experiments, and it is the flavour equivalent of home.

Ordering From VapeShopOnline: The Practical Bit

A menthol habit rewards a reliable supplier, and reliability is the whole design brief of this store. Here is exactly what to expect when you order from this collection.

Authenticity. All 43 liquids come through official UK distribution. Counterfeit juice is a genuine problem in the wider market, especially for high demand names like Elf Bar and Lost Mary, and fake menthol liquids are among the most commonly seized. Every bottle we ship is TPD notified, batch traceable and 100% genuine, which is not a marketing flourish but the baseline condition of being on our shelves.

Compliance. UK regulations cap nicotine at 20mg per ml and nicotine containing bottles at 10ml, and require full ingredient notification. Everything here complies. Sales are strictly 18+ with age verification on every order, no exceptions. We sell to adults, full stop.

Speed and cost. Order before 4pm on a working day and your parcel is dispatched the same day with next-day delivery available. Delivery is free over £20, a threshold that one five pack plus one 2 for £14 pairing clears comfortably. Prices in this collection run £2.49 to £7.99 before deals, and £2 a bottle after them.

Choosing in one minute. If this whole guide is more than you need: former menthol smoker, pick the Crystal Pro Max Menthol at 20mg. Want maximum cold, pick Angel Snow Mint. Want mint with charm, pick Butter Mints. Want value, build any 5 for £10 basket. Every recommendation above costs less than a coffee and arrives tomorrow.

The FAQ below answers the specific questions menthol customers ask most. For anything else, our team knows this wall bottle by bottle and responds quickly. However you like your cold, from politely cool to fully arctic, it is on this shelf, it is genuine, and it is a click away.
