Nexus Vapes

What the Nexus Vapes collection covers

Nexus is a flavour range from Pod Salt, a brand most UK vapers recognise from pod-system e-liquids. This collection gathers the Nexus line in one place so you can compare formats, flavours and strengths without digging through the whole e-liquid catalogue. It is worth being clear about one thing straight away: Nexus is an e-liquid range, not a device range. You will not find disposables, starter kits or replacement coils listed under this heading. What you will find are bottles made to go into the vape you already own.

The range is split into two formats, and almost every buying decision on this page comes back to which of the two suits your device.

• 10ml nic salt bottles for refillable pod kits and pen-style vapes. Nicotine salt liquids deliver nicotine with a smoother throat hit than traditional freebase liquid, which is why they became the usual choice for small, tight-draw devices.
• 100ml shortfills for sub-ohm tanks and higher-powered kits. These are sold nicotine-free, with empty space left in the bottle so you can add nicotine shots if you want to vape with nicotine.

Many recipes appear in both formats. If you like a flavour in a 10ml nic salt, there is often a matching 100ml shortfill, and the other way round. That makes it easy to try a small bottle first and move to a larger one once you are sure the flavour holds up over a few days of vaping. Typical pricing sits at the entry-level end for the 10ml nic salts and in the mid-range for the 100ml shortfills, with the larger bottle working out cheaper per millilitre if you vape daily.

Everything listed here is sold to adults only. You need to be 18 or over to buy, and we may ask for age verification at checkout or on delivery.

Nic salt or shortfill: choosing the right Nexus format

Format should be decided by your device, not by flavour. Check what you vape on before you look at a single flavour name, because the wrong pairing is the most common reason people are disappointed with a sound liquid.

• Pod kits, pen-style vapes and refillable closed-pod systems usually run coils at roughly 0.8 ohm or higher and are built for a tight, cigarette-like draw. These pair with nic salts. A thick, high-VG shortfill can struggle to wick through the small coils in these devices, which leads to dry or burnt hits and a gurgling sound.
• Sub-ohm tanks and larger kits run coils well below 0.8 ohm, often between 0.15 and 0.6 ohm, at higher wattage. These pair with shortfills. A 10mg or 20mg nic salt pushed through a high-power sub-ohm tank delivers far more nicotine per puff than most people want, and the result is harsh and uncomfortable.

If you are unsure, look at the coil. Most coil heads have the resistance printed on the side, for example 0.6 ohm or 1.0 ohm. As a rough guide, 0.8 ohm and above points to nic salt, and anything below that points to a shortfill. The device manual or the manufacturer's product page will also state a recommended VG range, and it is worth following it.

There is also a legal reason for the two bottle sizes. In the UK, any e-liquid containing nicotine can only be sold in bottles of 10ml or less. Larger bottles must be nicotine-free. That is why the nic salt comes in 10ml bottles and the shortfill comes in 100ml: the shortfill ships at 0mg, and any nicotine is added by you afterwards using separate shots.

On value, be honest with yourself about how much you vape. A light user on a small pod kit may get through a 10ml bottle in a week or two, so a 100ml shortfill is irrelevant to them. A heavier user on a sub-ohm kit can go through a 100ml bottle in a few weeks, and the larger size is the sensible way to buy. Buying the format that matches your device usually saves more money than hunting for a lower sticker price on the wrong one.

Nexus nic salt strengths: 10mg or 20mg

The UK caps nicotine strength in e-liquid at 20mg per millilitre, and the same ceiling applies to disposable vapes and sealed pods. Nexus nic salts are typically offered at the two most common strengths, 10mg and 20mg, though availability can differ from flavour to flavour. The product page for each bottle shows exactly what is in stock.

Choosing between the two is mostly a question of your smoking history and the power of your device.

• 20mg suits people who smoked a pack a day or who reach for a cigarette first thing in the morning. It also suits low-power pod kits where each puff delivers a small amount of vapour. If you are switching from a 20mg disposable, this is the natural match.
• 10mg suits lighter smokers, people who find 20mg too sharp, and vapers who already use a more powerful pod device that produces a bigger puff. It is also a sensible stepping-stone if you want to reduce your nicotine intake gradually.

Nic salt strengths do not feel the way freebase strengths feel. A 20mg nic salt is much smoother than a 20mg freebase would be, which is exactly why it is possible to use that strength at all. Do not judge the strength by throat hit alone. If you are vaping constantly, feeling lightheaded or queasy, or getting a racing heart, you are likely on too much nicotine for your setup and should drop a strength. If you keep reaching for the device every few minutes and still crave a cigarette, you may need to move up.

A practical approach is to buy one 10ml bottle at the strength you think suits you and give it three or four days before deciding. Flavour and strength interact, and a fruity ice recipe that feels mild at 10mg can feel noticeably more intense at 20mg because of the cooling effect.

Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is not risk-free. If you do not smoke, nicotine-free options exist and are the sensible starting point. If you are trying to stop smoking, local stop-smoking services can offer support alongside a vape, and they are worth contacting.

Nexus shortfills: nicotine shots, mixing and strength

A shortfill is a nicotine-free e-liquid sold in a bottle larger than its liquid contents, so there is deliberate headroom for adding nicotine shots. You can vape it as it comes at 0mg, or turn it into a low-strength nicotine liquid. Nexus shortfills come in 100ml bottles, and the bottle size and fill level are printed on the label, so check how much room is left before you buy shots.

Nicotine shots are 10ml bottles of strong nicotine liquid, typically 18mg per millilitre, and they are sold separately. As a worked example, if your bottle holds 100ml of liquid and has room for two 10ml shots at 18mg, the finished mix is around 3mg per millilitre. One shot in the same bottle gives roughly 1.5mg. Always work from the label rather than from this example, because fill levels and shot strengths vary between products.

• Open the shortfill bottle and add the shot or shots, using the nozzle to avoid spills.
• Close the cap tightly and shake the bottle for at least a minute until the colour is even.
• Leave the bottle to rest for a few hours, or overnight, so the nicotine blends fully.
• Shake again before filling your tank, and label the bottle so nobody confuses it with a nicotine-free one.

Most sub-ohm vapers settle somewhere between 0mg and 6mg. Low nicotine is the norm because a sub-ohm tank produces a large volume of vapour in each puff, so a small concentration still delivers a meaningful dose. If you are coming from a 20mg nic salt pod kit, going straight to a 3mg shortfill can feel underwhelming, and that is a mismatch of device style rather than a faulty liquid. Many people use 6mg for the first fortnight and drop down as their habits settle.

The shortfill recipes are labelled as high VG. In plain terms, that means a thicker base liquid that carries flavour and produces dense vapour but needs a coil built to handle it. Do not put a high-VG shortfill into a small pod device that is only rated for thin liquids unless the manufacturer says it is fine. Also remember that adding two shots slightly dilutes the flavour, so a shortfill vaped plain will taste a touch more intense than the same bottle after mixing.

Nexus flavour signatures

The Nexus range leans towards layered fruit blends, many of them with an ice option, alongside a smaller group of sweet candy and drink-style recipes. Flavour names are descriptive, and you can read most of them as a list of what to expect. Because recipes are tuned for fast, clear flavour, they tend to be sweet rather than subtle. Availability varies by format and by stock, so check each product page.

• Multi-fruit blends: Strawberry Watermelon Kiwi, Mango Strawberry Peach, Pineapple Passion Lime, Orange Mango Lime, Sweet Tangerine Coconut, White Grape Cucumber Apple, Grape Berry Burst and Fuji Apple Peach. These are the core of the range. They usually pair one dominant fruit with two supporting notes, and the supporting notes decide whether the result tastes tart, tropical or soft.
• Ice recipes: Berry Lemon Ice, Berry Lime Ice, Triple Raspberry Ice, Strawberry Kiwi Ice and Mango Peach Ice. The ice element is a cooling agent that gives a fresh feel on the exhale. It does not taste of menthol the way a mint liquid does, but it does reduce the perceived sweetness and softens a heavy fruit.
• Gummy and candy styles: Red Gummy Bear, White Gummy Bear, Raspberry Gummy, Fizzy Watermelon Gummy, Sour Blue Raspberry, Blue Razz Cherry Blast and Mr Blue. These are the sweetest in the line, and the sour ones carry a sharp edge on the inhale.
• Drink-inspired flavours: Cherry Lemonade, Blueberry Lemonade, Sweet Strawberry Lemonade and Lime Raspberry Grapefruit. Expect a citrus backbone with a fruit twist, usually lighter than the candy group.
• Others worth a look: White Chocolate Mocha for a dessert-and-coffee direction, and Strawberry Banana Rhubarb for something with a little earthy tartness behind the sweetness.

If you have never tried the range, pick one from the group that matches what you already like. Someone who likes fizzy drinks might start with Cherry Lemonade, while a fan of sweets might try Red Gummy Bear. If you tend to find sweet liquids cloying after a few hours, choose an ice recipe or something citrus-led, because the cooling or sharpness keeps the flavour clean across a long session.

Sweet liquids also leave more residue on coils. If you vape a dessert or candy flavour heavily, plan to change the coil a little sooner than you would with a lighter fruit.

Device compatibility, coil care and recycling

Nexus nic salts work in refillable pod kits and pen-style vapes that have a fill port, which covers the majority of devices sold as open systems. They do not work in sealed disposables, and you should never try to refill one. Disposable devices are not designed to be opened, and attempting it risks damaging the battery or leaking liquid onto the electronics. Locked pod systems that only accept proprietary prefilled pods are also off limits for the same reason.

Nexus shortfills work in sub-ohm tanks and in some higher-wattage pod devices with mesh coils. Check the coil head for the wattage range and resistance. Start at the low end of the stated wattage range and increase in small steps until the flavour is clear without the vapour tasting hot. If the manufacturer lists a maximum VG ratio, treat it as a limit.

• Prime every new coil. Drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton, fill the tank, and wait five to ten minutes before vaping. Skipping this is the quickest way to burn a fresh coil.
• Watch the liquid level. Refill when the tank is a third full. Vaping on a nearly empty tank leaves the wick dry.
• Change coils at the first sign of a burnt or muted taste. Typical lifespan is somewhere from one to three weeks, depending on how much you vape and how sweet the liquid is.
• Store bottles upright, cool and out of sunlight. Heat and light break down flavour and nicotine over time. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, because liquid nicotine is hazardous if swallowed or spilled on skin.

In the UK, refillable devices are limited to a tank capacity of 2ml, which is why UK-sold pods and tanks look smaller than the ones in overseas videos. If your tank has an extra-large glass section, it is a UK-legal 2ml tank with a larger bulb, not a bigger fill. Do not overfill beyond the stated limit.

When you are done with a bottle, empty it completely and check your local council's guidance on small plastic recycling. Batteries, spent coils and devices should never go in household bins or kerbside recycling, because lithium cells can start fires in collection vehicles. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or a dedicated small-electricals recycling point. Many UK vape shops and supermarkets provide drop-off bins, and the Recycle Your Electricals website lets you search by postcode for the nearest one.

How Nexus compares with similar ranges and formats

Comparing e-liquid ranges is mostly a matter of comparing recipes, so these are general observations rather than hard rankings. Treat flavour impressions as personal; what one person calls sweet, another calls balanced.

Against other 10ml nic salt ranges. Nexus focuses on layered fruit, ice and gummy profiles. If you want classic tobacco, plain menthol, custard or bakery recipes, you will find more variety in the wider nic salt collection on our site. If your main priority is a fruit-forward liquid that tastes like the flavours you may have known from disposable vapes, Nexus is a reasonable place to start.

Against other 100ml shortfill ranges. Most shortfills share the same format, a high-VG base with space for shots, so the decision comes down to flavour and price. The Nexus shortfills match several of the nic salt recipes, which is handy if you move between a pod kit and a tank and want one flavour across both. Check the VG ratio on the label if wicking matters for your coil.

Against disposables. Single-use vapes have been banned from sale in England, Scotland and Wales since 1 June 2025, so a refillable device with bottled liquid is now the standard route for UK vapers. Before the ban, disposables were limited to a 2ml liquid capacity, a 20mg nicotine ceiling and a roughly 600-puff design limit under the UK Tobacco and Related Products rules. Bottled liquid in a refillable kit tends to cost noticeably less per day, produces less waste, and gives you control over strength and flavour.

On honest value. The entry-level price of a 10ml nic salt is low, but the real cost of vaping includes the device and coils. A starter kit with a few bottles typically pays for itself within a few weeks for someone who would otherwise buy disposables or cigarettes. Shortfills work out cheaper per millilitre than 10ml bottles, but only if you actually use them up while the flavour is fresh. A 100ml bottle that sits half-full for months is not a bargain.

Which Nexus bottles suit new and experienced vapers

The right place to start depends on whether you are leaving cigarettes behind, stepping across from disposables, or already comfortable with a tank and mixing.

If you are new to vaping and smoke now. A simple refillable pod kit with a 20mg Nexus nic salt is the usual starting point for an established smoker. It keeps the equipment simple and the draw tight. Choose a flavour you already like the idea of, a fruit or a lemonade, and pick a 10ml bottle rather than a bulk size. Give it a full week before changing anything, because your taste buds and habits take time to adjust. If the throat hit is too strong, move to 10mg rather than swapping to a different device.

If you are moving from disposables. Expect the same flavour style and a slightly different routine. You will need to refill, prime and eventually replace coils. The advantage is cost and control. If your disposable was 20mg, a 20mg nic salt in a low-power pod kit is the closest match. Moving to a sub-ohm tank is a bigger change, and many people find the airflow and vapour volume a shock at first.

If you are an experienced vaper. The 100ml shortfills are the more interesting choice. You can fix your own strength with shots, rotate flavours to prevent palate fatigue, and pair them with the coil you already trust. A common habit is to keep two or three flavours on the go and switch between a fruit, an ice and a drink-style recipe through the day.

If you do not currently use nicotine. Choose a 0mg shortfill. There is no need to start nicotine to enjoy flavour, and a nicotine-free liquid in a tank gives you a clean way to enjoy the range. Nic salts are not a good fit for non-smokers.

Nexus bottles are not for anyone under 18, for pregnant women, or for people with certain health conditions who have not discussed nicotine with a doctor. If you have heart problems or take regular medication, ask a GP or pharmacist before switching.

UK rules that shape this category

E-liquids in the UK are regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, which carry over the rules most vapers still call the TPD. Several of those rules explain why Nexus is sold the way it is, and why products look different from ones you may have seen abroad.

• Nicotine strength is capped at 20mg per millilitre. That limit covers freebase e-liquids, nic salts, nicotine shots and the liquid inside any sealed pod. No legitimate UK retailer can sell a higher strength.
• Nicotine-containing bottles are limited to 10ml. Larger bottles must be nicotine-free. That is why shortfills are legal at 100ml, and why nicotine shots come in 10ml bottles.
• Tanks and refillable pods are limited to 2ml. You cannot legally buy a 5ml pod from a UK seller.
• Packaging requirements. Nicotine bottles need child-resistant and tamper-evident closures, a full ingredients list, the nicotine strength, the batch details and a health warning.
• Notification before sale. Producers must notify the MHRA of nicotine vaping products before they can be sold in the UK, and the regulator can ask for products to be withdrawn.
• Age restriction. It is illegal to sell nicotine vapes to anyone under 18, or to buy one on behalf of someone under 18.
• Marketing rules. Advertising to the general public is heavily restricted, so product pages carry factual descriptions rather than health claims.

These rules are not decoration. They affect what you can buy, what the labels tell you and how safely the product is made. If a website offers a 50mg nic salt, a 30ml nicotine bottle or a 5ml pod, it is either selling grey-market stock or not operating under UK law, and you should treat it with caution.

The law also covers disposables. Single-use vapes were previously limited to a 2ml capacity and a 20mg ceiling, and the sale of them has been prohibited in England, Scotland and Wales since 1 June 2025. Northern Ireland has its own timetable. The practical effect is that anyone looking for a disposable-style flavour experience is now served by refillable pod kits and bottled liquid, which is where the Nexus range sits.

Spotting genuine Nexus stock, delivery and returns

Counterfeit and grey-market e-liquid exists, and nic salts in small bottles are an easy target because the packaging is simple to copy. Buying from a UK retailer that sources from authorised distributors is the first line of defence. Beyond that, the bottle itself tells you a lot.

• Check the label. A genuine UK bottle shows the brand and flavour name, the nicotine strength, an ingredients list, a batch number and a best-before date, a health warning and the responsible company details. Missing or blurry text is a red flag.
• Check the closures. Nicotine bottles carry a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident ring or seal. A cap that twists off without resistance, or a broken seal, is not what a UK retailer should ship.
• Check the print quality. Blurred logos, misspelled flavour names, inconsistent fonts and colours that differ from other bottles in the same range suggest a copy.
• Check the price. A price far below what UK retailers charge for the same bottle usually means the product is not what it appears to be.
• Check the liquid. Colour varies naturally, from near clear to amber. An unusual smell, sediment or oily film is not normal.

If anything about a bottle looks wrong, stop using it and contact us with clear photos of the label, the cap and the base. We will look at it and, where the fault is ours, put it right.

On warranty and returns: e-liquid is a consumable and does not carry a manufacturer warranty the way a device does, but your normal consumer rights still apply to goods that arrive damaged, leaking, faulty or not as described. Report problems promptly and keep the packaging. Opened bottles cannot normally be returned for change-of-mind reasons for hygiene and safety reasons, so it is sensible to try a 10ml bottle before committing to a 100ml shortfill. The returns policy page has the full details.

Orders go out by UK courier or postal services and, because these are age-restricted products, an adult aged 18 or over must be available to receive the parcel. Delivery options and cut-off times are shown at checkout and on the delivery information page. Keep nicotine shots and bottles away from extreme heat in transit, and bring parcels in promptly on very hot or very cold days.
