Arrived well-packaged with next-day delivery. Taste is clean and authentic. Nothing to complain about.
Al FakherThe Fresh Mint Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Refill Packs by Al Fakher delivers up to 12,000 puffs in Fresh mint at 10mg and 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Refill Packs Fresh mint is the Fresh mint option in the Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Refill Packs range, priced at £8.99 and rated at 12,000 puffs. We list what the product actually is rather than padding it with specifications we cannot verify.
On flavour, expect fresh mint with a cooling lift. It sits on the sweeter side of the range, which is worth knowing if you prefer something drier.
The full Al Fakher range is at Al Fakher, and this line alone runs to 38 flavours. We only list stock sourced through UK distributors.
The 2ml cap is a legal limit, so read puff ratings as a total across the pods you will get through.
Small habits like priming and sensible storage do more for flavour than anything else.
This prefilled pod is listed in 10mg and 20mg. UK law caps nicotine at 20mg per ml, so that is the strongest you will find anywhere.
If you are unsure, most adults switching from a pack a day start at the higher end and drop down later. 10mg options and 20mg options are browsable separately if you want to compare.
The quickest way to choose is to ask which flavour family you reach for most. Fresh mint sits in the sweeter camp: fresh mint with a cooling lift.
Nobody gets every flavour right first time, which is why the multibuys exist.
Sales are strictly 18+ and every order is age-checked before it ships. Nicotine is addictive, and these products are for adults who already smoke or vape.
Browse all pods and refills, or head to the sale if price is the deciding factor. If you are unsure whether this fits your device, check the listing details before ordering.
If this one is not quite what you are after, the rest of the line is worth scanning. 38 flavours sit under this name, including:
Buying two at once and alternating is the simplest way to stop any single flavour going flat on you.
This one is £8.99. It carries no multibuy currently. Our current deals are worth a look if you are building a basket.
Spend over £20 and UK postage is included. Order before 4pm on a working day and it leaves us that afternoon.
A single product tells you little; the shape of the range tells you a lot. We stock 169 Al Fakher products, running from £3.99 to £11.99. That breadth means you can usually stay inside the brand when you want a change, rather than starting over somewhere else.
The full lineup is on the Al Fakher page. Other Al Fakher products worth a look:
Brand loyalty in vaping is mostly about knowing what to expect, which counts for a lot.
The useful question is not what it costs, but what else that money buys. We list 1,412 products in this category, and 21 in the same puff class. At £8.99, this one sits in the middle of the market.
Which way you go usually comes down to whether convenience or cost matters more on the day.
Headline prices hide the number that actually matters, which is what a week costs you.
At £8.99 for a rated 12,000 puffs, that is roughly 0.75p per 1,000 puffs. That number is only as good as the rating behind it, and every brand measures generously.
The quickest way to judge a flavour is against its own siblings, not against the whole shop. There are 38 options under this name:
Palate fatigue is real: rotating two profiles keeps both tasting sharper for longer.
A lot of the format decisions here were made by law, not by marketing. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. That is why no retailer here sells a 50ml bottle of 20mg salt.
The single-use disposable ban reshaped the rest. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods took their place, which is why a device now comes with a charging port and a pod you swap rather than a sealed unit you bin. The upshot is less waste and a lower running cost, if you stick with one system.
We only list compliant stock sourced through UK distributors. Sales are 18+ and every order is age-checked.
The rest of the line, if you want to compare before choosing.
Two on the go beats one, because alternating keeps both tasting fresher.
Ordering is deliberately simple. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. You pick the service at checkout.
We cannot resell an opened consumable, so opened items are outside the returns policy. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. Age verification applies to every order, and unverified orders are refunded rather than sent.
Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.
Where to go next if you want to compare before buying.
Or stay with the brand: all Al Fakher products, 106 in total. Sticking to a brand you already know is the least risky way to try something different.
Most complaints about flavour come down to handling rather than the product.
Do those four things and most of the usual problems never appear.
First time buying this sort of product? The decisions that matter are simpler than the shelf suggests.
Get those three right and the rest is detail. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.
Four problems cover most of what goes wrong, and all four are preventable.
A burnt taste on a new pod. Almost always a pod drawn on too soon. Click it in and leave it a minute before the first pull. A scorched wick cannot be rescued, so the minute is worth it.
Leaking. Usually heat or pressure. Warmth thins liquid and pushes it through seals, so a hot car or a sunny windowsill is the usual culprit. Cabin pressure on a flight does the same thing, which is why storing spares upright in a bag beats loose in a pocket.
Flavour fading. Frequently the palate rather than the product. If a flavour dulls after a week, switching to a contrasting profile for a day or two usually brings it back sharply.
Buying the wrong fitment. Pods are not universal, and even within one brand the families differ. Check the listing names your device before ordering rather than after. Spares and accessories are grouped separately if you need a replacement part.
More vapers give up on switching because of a bad strength choice than because of a bad flavour. This listing offers 10mg and 20mg. UK law caps nicotine at 20mg per ml, so nothing sold legally here goes higher, and the honest question is how far below that ceiling you should sit.
Most people reach for the lowest strength and end up vaping twice as much. If a strength does not satisfy, you compensate by vaping more often, which costs more and rarely feels better. A heavier former smoker typically starts at the top of the range and steps down over weeks or months once the habit has settled. Someone who smoked lightly, or who has already been vaping a while, is usually comfortable in the middle.
There is a physical side to this as well. Higher strengths give a firmer hit at the back of the throat, which many people switching from cigarettes actively want, and which others find harsh. Nicotine salts are smoother than freebase at the same number, which is why bar-style liquids sit at 20mg without feeling like it. If you are unsure, buy one of each rather than committing to five of the wrong one. 10mg options and 20mg options are browsable separately.

Al Fakher is a shisha heritage brand that moved into vaping with the Crown Bar line of kits and pods. Flavour-wise it leans into the melons, mints and fruit blends that made the shisha brand famous, now rendered through modern 10K+ pod hardware.
Flavour is personal and we cannot resell an opened consumable, so the multibuys are the low risk way to try more than one. Buying a pair from different families is the usual approach.
Because UK rules cap a prefilled pod at 2ml, a five-figure rating describes what the system delivers across the pods you use, not what sits in one pod.
Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. UK delivery is free once your basket passes £20, and paid options are shown at checkout.
Not on this line at the moment. Our current bundles are collected on the vape deals page.
Upright, out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Warmth thins liquid and dulls flavour, and a hot car is the most common cause of a leak.
It is rated at 12,000 puffs by the manufacturer, measured under lab conditions. Real world use depends on how hard and how often you draw, so treat it as a comparison figure between products rather than a promise.
Check the listing details against your own kit before ordering. Pods are not interchangeable between brands, and even within a brand the families differ.
Royal Mail Tracked 24 (Next-Day): £1.99, FREE on orders over £20.

Arrived well-packaged with next-day delivery. Taste is clean and authentic. Nothing to complain about.
Flavour holds up all the way through. Some brands get weaker after a few days but this stays consistent.
The flavour matches the description perfectly. No weird aftertaste. Proper authentic taste.
My partner tried this and now we've both switched. Smooth hit, proper flavour, fair price.
Cracking flavour, honestly. Been through a few of these already. Can't fault it at the price.
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
