Imp Jar Vapes

Imp Jar Vapes at VapeShopOnline: What This Collection Covers

The Imp Jar collection at VapeShopOnline is a brand page, and it helps to be clear about what that means before you start browsing. Imp Jar is best known among UK vapers for e-liquid, and the product we currently list under the name is Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods, a low-cost swap-in pod for the Imp Jar Select pod system. There is no puff-count disposable here, no ready-built kit and no prefilled pod with a flavour name on the front. If you came looking for a single-use vape, the sections below explain why that format has gone from the UK market and what took its place.

What this page does is give you a proper orientation to the brand, so you can decide whether Imp Jar suits the way you vape, which format makes sense for you, and what to check before you order. It is written for UK adults only (18+). Nicotine products are not intended for anyone who does not already smoke or vape.

Here is what the guide covers:

• Where the brand comes from and the kind of flavours it is known for
• The formats under the Imp Jar name: pods, 50ml and 100ml shortfills and a named sub-line
• How the brand compares with similar names in the UK market
• Which products suit new vapers and which suit experienced ones
• UK law on nicotine strength, bottle sizes, pod capacity and disposables
• Value, authenticity checks, warranty, returns and recycling

Every order from VapeShopOnline is fulfilled from UK stock and we only sell genuine products. Standard delivery is free on orders over £20, and orders placed before 4pm on a working day are dispatched that day, with a next-day delivery option available at checkout. Those basics apply to everything in this collection, however small the basket.

Brand Background: A British Shortfill Name With a Sweet Tooth

Imp Jar is a British e-liquid brand with a playful, slightly mischievous identity. The name and the packaging lean on the idea of a jar of something sweet that you probably should not be sneaking into, and the flavour profiles match: jam, dessert and candy styles sit alongside fruit and ice blends. It is the sort of brand you notice on a shelf because the artwork is different from the clean, minimal look many competitors use.

The brand is built mainly around shortfill e-liquid. A shortfill is a large bottle that is deliberately not filled to the top, which leaves room for you to add nicotine shots and mix your own strength. In the catalogue data we work from, Imp Jar liquids appear in 50ml and 100ml bottles with an even 50/50 balance of vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol. That balance matters for anyone using a pod device, because a thinner liquid wicks quickly into small pod coils instead of starving them.

Flavour names that have appeared under the brand include banana ice, blue razz lemonade and blue sour raspberry, which tells you something about the house style: familiar fruit-and-chill combinations rather than obscure experiments. A named sub-line called Lucky Thirteen has also been listed in 50ml 50/50 format, with flavours such as American waffle, blackcurrant aniseed menthol, blue raspberry lime and blue raspberry strawberry ice. Availability moves around with distributors, and not every line is on our shelves at any one time, so treat this paragraph as background and the product grid above as the definitive list of what we can ship today.

We keep claims about the brand modest on purpose. We are not going to tell you where it was founded or invent a history for it. What we can say honestly is that it is a British shortfill name with a clear sweet-flavour identity, and that the pod product listed here extends that name into the pod-system format.

Flagship Lines and Formats Under the Imp Jar Name

Think of the brand as three formats, each aimed at a different kind of vaper. Knowing which one you are shopping for saves a lot of confusion, because they are not interchangeable.

• Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods: the product currently in this collection. It is a replacement pod for the Imp Jar Select pod system, sold empty for you to fill with your own e-liquid. The product family includes a 0.8ohm option, and no nicotine strength is supplied with the pod (0mg), so the strength you vape comes entirely from the liquid you choose.
• 50ml and 100ml 50/50 shortfills: the core of the brand's identity. These are nicotine-free bottles with headroom for nicotine shots, aimed at people who refill a tank or a large pod and prefer to control strength themselves.
• Lucky Thirteen: a named line that has been listed in 50ml 50/50 format, with its own flavour roster separate from the main range.

The pods are a consumable. They hold the liquid, contain the coil that heats it and carry the mouthpiece, while the battery and charging port stay in the device you keep. When the flavour fades or the coil wears out, you swap in a fresh pod instead of replacing the whole kit. That is useful, and it is also the reason the pods are device-specific: the shape, the contacts and the way the pod seats all belong to the Select system, and they should never be forced into a different device.

One format you will not find under the Imp Jar name here is the single-use disposable with a big puff count. Those products were banned across the UK from 1 June 2025, and the market moved to rechargeable and refillable alternatives. If you want a prefilled option in a similar spirit, our prefilled pod and kit ranges are the place to look, and the Imp Jar pods are the route for someone who would rather pick the liquid themselves.

Flavour and Device Signatures: What Imp Jar Tastes and Feels Like

The flavour signature is sweet and approachable. Where some brands chase sharp, tangy profiles, the Imp Jar approach leans towards rounded fruit, dessert and candy notes, often finished with a cooling layer. If you like blue raspberry, banana, lemonade or a bakery-style sweetness, the brand's flavour direction is likely to feel familiar. If you prefer straight tobacco or very dry, herbal menthol, you will find more choice with other houses.

Sweet liquids behave differently on a coil from drier ones, and this is worth knowing before you buy. Sugar-like flavouring compounds can build up as residue on the heating element over time, which dulls flavour and eventually gives a burnt edge. In practice that means a pod used with a dessert or candy liquid will often reach the end of its useful life sooner than the same pod used with a menthol or tobacco liquid. It is not a fault, just the nature of the flavour family, and it is the main reason keeping a spare pod on hand is sensible.

On the hardware side, the signature of the Select pod range is simplicity. The pod has no battery, no screen and no settings of its own. The listing family includes a 0.8ohm option, which sits in the middle of the resistance range found in modern pod systems. As a general guide, a resistance in that band gives a draw that is a little more open than a very tight coil, with warm rather than hot vapour at modest power and flavour that stays defined. These are general behaviours of coils in that band, not test results for this specific pod, so use them as a guide to what to expect rather than a promise.

A few practical flavour tips apply across the whole brand:

• Let a freshly filled pod rest upright for five to ten minutes before the first puff, so the cotton wick saturates properly
• Choose a 50/50 liquid for small pods, since thicker, high-VG blends can wick too slowly
• Avoid over-filling, because flooded coils gurgle and taste muted
• If a fruit-and-ice liquid starts to taste flat after a couple of weeks, the coil is the likely cause rather than the liquid

How Imp Jar Compares With Similar Brands

Comparing e-liquid brands honestly is mostly a matter of comparing formats and habits rather than declaring a winner. Taste is personal, and any brand that claims to be better for everyone is selling rather than informing. Here is a practical way to place Imp Jar against the other names UK vapers commonly weigh up.

Against other shortfill houses. Brands such as Seriously Fruity, Frozen Fruit Monster, Bar Vape and Ohm Brew's Bar Series also sell large nicotine-free bottles in 50ml and 100ml sizes. At that level the differences are flavour direction, VG/PG ratio and the bottle's headroom for shots. Imp Jar's 50/50 balance puts it on the thinner side, which suits pod devices and low-power tanks, whereas some competitors lean towards high-VG blends meant for sub-ohm cloud chasing. Check the ratio printed on the label before buying, because it tells you more about device suitability than any marketing line.

Against nicotine salt ranges. Ranges such as Pod Salt, IVG Intense Salts and Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts are sold ready-nicotined in small 10ml bottles, typically in 10mg and 20mg strengths. They are a more convenient route for someone using a pod system at low power who wants a smooth hit without mixing anything. A shortfill needs a nicotine shot added and shaken, which is simple but is an extra step. Nic salts cost more per millilitre of liquid, while shortfills cost more effort per bottle. Which matters more depends on how much you vape.

Against other replacement-pod brands. Pods for devices such as the SMOK Novo 2 or the Voopoo Ito are likewise device-specific and sit in a similar rough price band to the Imp Jar Select pods. None of them is interchangeable with another, so the comparison is about the device you own rather than the pod itself.

A fair summary: choose Imp Jar if the sweet, fruit-and-ice flavour direction appeals and you are comfortable filling your own pod or tank. Choose a nic salt range if you want zero mixing, and choose another shortfill house if you prefer sharper or more tobacco-led flavours.

Which Imp Jar Products Suit New Vapers and Which Suit Experienced Ones

A word of caution first. Vaping products containing nicotine are for adults aged 18 and over who already smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive, and nothing on this page is medical advice. With that said, here is how the different Imp Jar formats tend to fit different levels of experience.

If you are new to refillable pods. The Select replacement pods only make sense once you own the Select device, so a complete beginner should start with a full starter kit from our kit range and come back for spare pods once they know the system suits them. When you do start filling a pod, a ready-mixed nic salt in a 10ml bottle is usually the gentlest route, because there is no mixing and the strength is already set. Keep the first few fills small, practise the fill-and-rest routine and learn how your coil responds before experimenting.

If you already use refillable pods or tanks. The brand's shortfills give you the most control. A 50ml bottle in a 60ml container takes one 10ml nicotine shot, and an 18mg shot gives roughly 3mg/ml across the mix. A 100ml bottle in a 120ml container takes two shots for the same 3mg/ml. If you prefer a different strength, the maths is straightforward and covered in the nicotine section below. People who like to switch flavours often will appreciate that a shortfill is typically the cheaper way to hold a large volume of liquid.

If you are a heavier user. Be careful with low-strength shortfills in a small pod. A pod holds a maximum of 2ml by UK law, so heavy users end up refilling often, and a 3mg liquid in a small pod may not feel satisfying at that rate. Many adults in that position choose a nic salt in a higher strength within the 20mg cap, rather than pushing a shortfill beyond its design.

If you only want flavour. A 0mg liquid in the Select pod is a legitimate choice, and our nicotine-free e-liquid range covers it.

Nicotine Strength, Shortfills and UK Law

UK vaping law shapes almost every choice in this collection, so it is worth understanding the main rules. They apply to every brand, not just Imp Jar, and they come from the Tobacco Products Directive rules carried into UK regulations.

• 20mg/ml nicotine cap: no nicotine e-liquid or prefilled pod can exceed 20mg/ml. This same cap applied to disposables when they were legal, and it still applies to every nicotine liquid and prefilled pod on sale today.
• 10ml bottle limit: nicotine-containing e-liquid in refill bottles cannot be sold in containers larger than 10ml.
• 2ml tank and pod limit: refillable pods and tanks cannot hold more than 2ml, which is why the Select pods are small.
• Shortfills: larger 50ml and 100ml bottles are legal because they contain no nicotine. You add nicotine shots yourself, which are sold in 10ml bottles.
• Single-use disposables: banned across the UK from 1 June 2025. Rechargeable and refillable products replaced them.
• Age limit: nicotine vaping products may only be sold to people aged 18 and over, and we check age on every order.

Now the practical side of strength. The pod is supplied at 0mg, so the nicotine you vape comes from the liquid. A rough guide for adults, not medical advice, runs like this:

• 0mg: flavour only
• 3mg: the usual result of one 10ml 18mg shot in a 60ml shortfill, and a gentle strength for larger tanks
• 5mg to 10mg: common nic salt strengths for pod use, with 10mg widely used by regular vapers who want a smooth hit
• 20mg: the legal maximum, generally chosen by heavier smokers who are switching and use nic salts at low power

Start lower than you think you need. It is easy to step a strength up, and unpleasant to find a hit is harsher than expected. Always keep nicotine bottles out of reach of children and pets, and store them with the child-resistant cap fully closed.

Buying Tips and Honest Value Guidance

Value with refillable products is about the whole cost of keeping the device running, not the sticker price of one item. The Select replacement pods are priced at the low end of the replacement-pod range, comfortably under a fiver each, so the pod itself is rarely the big expense. The e-liquid you put in it, and how often you replace the coil, shape your weekly spend far more.

A few buying tips that save money and frustration:

• Check compatibility before ordering. Confirm your device is an Imp Jar Select and look at the pod currently in it. If you are unsure, send us a photo through the contact page and we will confirm it before you buy.
• Mind the delivery threshold. Standard UK delivery is free over £20 and carries a small charge below that. A single pod on its own is not the efficient way to order, so pair pods with a bottle of liquid or spare pods to cross the line.
• Compare price per millilitre, not per bottle. A 100ml shortfill generally works out cheaper per millilitre than a 50ml, but only if you will use it before the flavour loses its edge. If you are trying a new flavour, the smaller bottle is the lower-risk choice.
• Budget for coil wear. A pod is consumable. Sweet liquids wear it faster, so factor in a spare for every few weeks of regular use.
• Do not over-buy a flavour you have not tried. Sweet profiles are divisive. Buy one bottle, give it a week, then decide.
• Look at the VG/PG ratio. A 50/50 blend suits pods. A high-VG blend will often struggle in a small, low-power pod.

On honest value: Imp Jar is not trying to be the cheapest liquid on the market, and it is not trying to be a premium craft brand either. It sits in the mainstream, with a distinctive flavour identity and a flexible format. If you want the lowest possible spend, large unflavoured or lightly flavoured bulk bottles will undercut it. If you want a flavour you enjoy in a convenient size, the pricing is reasonable for what you get.

Authenticity, Warranty and Returns

Counterfeit vape products exist in the UK market, and they are more common with high-demand disposables than with small accessory items. Even so, it pays to know what a genuine product looks like, and to buy from a supplier that can trace its stock. We sell genuine products only, sourced through UK distribution.

When your order arrives, run through this quick authenticity check:

• Sealed, undamaged packaging: a tamper-evident seal or intact outer wrap should be present. Torn or resealed packs are a warning sign
• Clean, consistent printing: blurry logos, spelling mistakes and colours that look off compared with the product photos are red flags
• Legal labelling: a genuine UK-market bottle carries ingredient information, a batch code and responsible-person details, and nicotine products carry the mandatory health warning
• Child-resistant closure: a UK bottle should have one. Missing safety features suggest a non-UK or fake product
• Price that is far too low: if an offer is dramatically below the normal market range, ask why before paying

For the pods, inspect the reservoir for hairline cracks, make sure the fill-port bung sits flush, check the contacts are clean and look through the mouthpiece to confirm the airflow path is clear. Those checks catch most problems in under a minute.

Warranty and returns. Replacement pods are consumable parts, so there is no long manufacturer warranty to claim against. What you do have is our returns policy. For hygiene and safety reasons we cannot take back opened e-liquids or opened pods, but a faulty or damaged item can be returned within 30 days for a replacement or refund. Contact us first, keep the packaging and quote your order number and any batch code. That makes the process quick, and it is the sensible route if a pod leaks from a sealed pack or arrives cracked.

Care, Maintenance and Recycling

A small amount of care makes pods and liquid last noticeably longer and avoids most leaks and bad-tasting puffs.

Storing liquid and spare pods. Keep bottles upright, closed and out of direct sunlight, in a cool, dry place. Heat and light degrade e-liquid and can darken it over time. Store spare pods in their packaging, upright, at room temperature. A half-filled pod left in a warm bag or car can seep as the liquid expands, so avoid leaving filled pods in hot places.

Looking after a pod in use. Fill slowly, running the liquid down the side of the reservoir, and stop at or below the fill line. Never fill the central airflow tube. Press the bung fully home. Take short, gentle draws instead of long, hard ones, which can outrun the wick and cause a dry hit. When flavour fades, or a burnt taste returns after a fresh fill, the coil is spent and the pod should be replaced rather than coaxed along.

Keeping the device clean. Wipe the contacts with a dry cloth or cotton bud if liquid gets onto them. Do not use water or alcohol on the electrical parts. Charge the device with a standard USB adapter, never leave it charging unattended for long periods and do not vape while it charges.

Recycling. Used vape products should not go into household bins or kerbside recycling, because lithium batteries can cause fires in collection vehicles and waste sites. In the UK, shops that sell vapes are expected to take back waste vape products, and many local household waste recycling centres have small-electricals bins that accept them. Empty pods that have been in contact with a coil are best treated as vape waste, so drop them at one of those points. Empty e-liquid bottles can usually go in plastic recycling once rinsed and with the cap removed, though your local council guidance has the final say. Recycling is quick, free and keeps hazardous items out of the general waste stream.
