Angel Nic Salts by Vapes Bars Banana Split at a Glance

Angel Nic Salts by Vapes Bars Banana Split is a 10ml nicotine salt bottle costing £2.49, sold in 10mg and 20mg, and covered by our buy 5 for £10 offer. At that price it sits at the very bottom of what we charge for any bottled liquid on this site, and it is one of ten flavours in the Angel nicotine salt line up produced by Vapes Bars.

Banana Split is the range's dessert entry, and it stands out in a line up otherwise dominated by fruit and ice. Where the other nine bottles deal in mango, watermelon, lemonade and mint, this one goes after the ice cream parlour: banana, strawberry sauce and a cream note underneath. It is the flavour people in the range buy when they want something to vape in the evening rather than something to get through a working day on.

Vapes Bars built the Angel name around accessibility rather than connoisseurship. The bottles are cheap, the flavours are recognisable, and nothing in the range requires you to develop a palate before you can enjoy it. That approach has grown Angel into 52 listings with us, spanning both these bottles and their prefilled hardware, with prices running from £2.49 up to £10.99. The whole thing lives on our Angel collection page.

If banana specifically is what brought you here, our banana e-liquid category gathers seventeen bottles from Angel, Hayati, Doozy, Bar Juice and Lost Mary between £2.49 and £7.99.

Banana Split Deconstructed

A banana split is a fixed dessert with a fixed structure, and any liquid carrying the name is judged against how well it reproduces that structure. Three elements have to be present and in the right proportion.

The banana. This is the hardest part to get right and the reason many attempts fail. Banana in flavouring splits into two very different characters. There is the ripe, soft, slightly heavy fresh banana, and there is the drier, sharper confectionery banana familiar from foam sweets and milkshake powder. Dessert blends generally want the ripe version, because the sweet shop version fights with cream. This bottle takes the ripe route, giving a soft rounded banana that reads as fruit rather than as sweet.

The strawberry. In the actual dessert, strawberry arrives as sauce rather than fresh fruit, which means cooked, sugared and a little jammy. That is how it presents here too, coming in behind the banana and adding brightness without competing for the lead.

The cream. This is the layer that turns two fruits into a dessert. It is a vanilla leaning cream note that sits underneath everything else, softening the edges and giving the exhale a fuller, rounder finish than a fruit blend would produce.

The order of events on a puff runs banana first, strawberry through the middle, and cream closing it out. Nothing goes cold at any point, since there is no menthol here at all.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Being straight about a flavour's limits is more helpful than praising it uniformly, so here is an honest assessment of fit.

You will probably like this if you enjoyed banana milkshakes or banana flavoured sweets growing up, if you are looking for an evening flavour to sit alongside a sharper daytime one, if you find pure fruit blends thin and want something with more body, or if you have been vaping the same ice flavour for months and need a complete change of direction.

You should probably skip it if you dislike banana in any form, since there is nowhere for a banana sceptic to hide in a bottle named after it. Also skip it if you want cooling, because there is none. And think carefully if you rely on one flavour all day every day, because dessert profiles fatigue the palate faster than citrus or menthol ones do. Rich, creamy flavours are wonderful in sessions and wearing across fourteen straight hours.

The practical recommendation for most people is to treat this as one bottle within a rotation rather than as a sole supply. Pair it with something sharp or cold from elsewhere in the range, alternate between them across the day, and both will taste better than either would alone. Angel's own Snow Mint, Grape Ice and Fizzy Cherry Ice all perform that contrast role well, as does Lemon Breeze if you prefer citrus to menthol.

The £2.49 Price Floor and the Multibuy

Two forty nine is a meaningful number. It is the lowest price on any bottled liquid we stock, matching the very bottom of our e-liquid range as a whole, which otherwise stretches all the way to £19.99 for larger nicotine free bottles. Nothing on the site undercuts it.

Add the multibuy and the figure drops again. Five bottles under the buy 5 for £10 offer cost a flat tenner, against £12.45 if you bought them one at a time, which brings each bottle down to £2 and takes £2.45 off the total. The proportional saving here is smaller than it is on the £2.89 ranges simply because the starting price was already low, but the absolute cost per bottle ends up identical at £2. In other words, the offer levels the playing field: within the deal, a bottle is a bottle.

That has a strategic implication worth acting on. If you are assembling a five under the offer, there is no financial reason to pick the cheapest bottles, because everything in the promotion costs the same £2 once inside it. You may as well build the five out of whatever you actually want to vape. Our 5 for £10 e-liquid selection runs to 582 bottles between £2.49 and £3.95, so the range to choose from is wide.

Buying two sets in one order carries a second advantage, since ten bottles clears the £20 free postage line and removes the delivery charge entirely.

Running a Cream Flavour in a Pod Device

Dessert and cream liquids behave differently in hardware from plain fruit ones, and knowing that in advance saves a certain amount of irritation.

The relevant difference is sweetener and cream content. Both leave residue on a coil as they are heated, building up a darkened layer over time. That layer progressively mutes flavour before it eventually starts tasting scorched. It is not a defect in the liquid or in your device, it is simply chemistry, and it affects every rich blend on the market regardless of brand or price. The practical effect is that pods run through a dessert flavour reach the end of their useful life sooner than pods run through a menthol.

A few habits limit the damage.

• Refill before the level drops low rather than after. A partially dry wick scorches almost instantly and cannot be recovered.
• Give a freshly filled pod a few minutes standing time before the first draw so the wick soaks through completely.
• Take slightly longer, gentler draws rather than short hard ones. Rich liquids reward a slower pull.
• Keep a second pod on rotation and swap between them, which spreads the wear.
• When flavour dulls noticeably, change the pod rather than persisting. Chasing a fading taste by vaping harder only accelerates the problem.

None of this is unique to Banana Split. It applies to every custard, cream and bakery liquid you will ever buy, and it is the accepted trade off for a flavour with genuine body to it.

Angel as an Ecosystem: Bottles and Hardware

Angel is unusual among the brands we carry in covering both ends of the market. The bottles on this page serve refillable pod users. The same brand also produces prefilled hardware for people who want no maintenance at all, and the two sit side by side in the same 52 product collection.

The hardware side centres on the Angel 20k prefilled pod kits at £10.99, which come in a wide spread of finishes. The Black Edition is the plainest and the most popular with people who want a device that draws no attention. The Blue Edition and the Golden Edition are the two most visible, and the Coastal Fizz Edition sits between them. There are also Brown and Coral finishes in the same family.

Which side of the brand you want depends entirely on your priorities. Prefilled kits ask nothing of you beyond opening the box, and they cost more per unit of liquid because that convenience is built into the price. Bottles like this one require you to fill a pod yourself, take thirty seconds to do, and cost a fraction as much over any meaningful period. Plenty of people own both, keeping a prefilled kit as a backup for nights out and running bottles the rest of the time.

What you cannot do is put this bottle into a sealed prefilled device, since those are not designed to be opened or topped up.

Strength Selection and the Rules That Shape It

This bottle is available at 10mg and 20mg, both at £2.49, and both included in the multibuy.

British regulation dictates the shape of every nicotine liquid sold here. Concentration cannot exceed 20mg per millilitre. Bottles containing nicotine are restricted to 10ml. Refillable pods and tanks cannot exceed 2ml capacity, which is why a 10ml bottle equates to five pod fills. Packaging must carry child resistant closures, tamper evidence and the required health warnings. These rules apply universally, so no retailer can offer you anything stronger or larger.

Within those limits, 20mg is the higher of the two and is what sealed devices are typically filled at, making it the natural landing point for anyone arriving from that format or moving across from a heavier cigarette habit. Nicotine in salt form is considerably gentler on the throat than the older freebase style at the same concentration, which is what makes full strength workable in a small pod at all.

10mg halves the concentration and suits lighter former smokers, established vapers reducing over time, and anyone who finds the throat sensation of full strength too pronounced with a rich flavour like this one. Cream blends can feel slightly heavier in the throat than light fruits, so some people who use 20mg elsewhere prefer 10mg specifically for their dessert bottles. Mixing the two in a pod produces an intermediate strength if neither figure suits you exactly.

Keeping It Fresh, Getting It Delivered, and the Legal Position

Cream and dessert liquids are marginally more sensitive to poor storage than plain fruits, because the vanilla and cream compounds involved degrade with heat and light more readily than simple fruit flavourings. Keep bottles capped, upright, cool and out of the sun. A drawer or cupboard is ideal. Glove boxes and windowsills are the two worst places people habitually leave them.

Some darkening over time is normal and cosmetic, caused by nicotine reacting with air rather than by the liquid going off. Sealed bottles generally carry a best before date around two years ahead, which is far longer than most 10ml bottles survive in practice.

Anything ordered up to 4pm on a working day joins that day's outbound collection rather than waiting for the following morning. Delivery within the UK is free once your basket goes beyond £20, and since ten bottles under the multibuy comes to exactly that kind of figure, most regular customers time their orders accordingly. Every item we sell is authentic stock bought through proper distribution channels and held in our own UK warehouse, with manufacturer seals intact on arrival.

Sales are limited to adults. Our checkout screens each order against age records before payment is taken, we will request identification where anything is unclear, and orders that fail verification are refunded rather than released. Nicotine is an addictive substance. These products are intended for adult smokers and existing nicotine users and are not appropriate for non smokers, anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or anyone under 18.

Where this sits in the Angel range

It is worth knowing what else the brand makes before you commit to one listing. We stock 52 Angel products, running from £2.49 to £10.99. That is a focused range rather than a sprawling one, which usually means fewer duds.

The full lineup is on the Angel page. Other Angel products worth a look:

• Angel 20K Refill Pack Crown Edition at £6.99
• Angel 20K Refill Pack Union Edition at £6.99
• Angel 20K Refill Pack Pool Edition at £6.99
• Angel 20K Refill Pack Coastal Fizz Edition at £6.99

Brand loyalty in vaping is mostly about knowing what to expect, which counts for a lot.

How it compares to the rest of the category

Judging a product in isolation is how people end up disappointed. We list 736 products in this category. At £2.49, this one sits at the affordable end.

• Multibuy deals are where the price per unit drops hardest, and they can be mixed across flavours.
• Reduced lines carry 1,558 products if the budget is the deciding factor.
• Prefilled pods cost more per millilitre but remove the refilling entirely.
• Prefer this flavour family? Browse the whole family rather than guessing at names.

None of those is objectively right. They suit different routines and different budgets.

The running cost, worked out

Headline prices hide the number that actually matters, which is what a week costs you.

No puff rating is published for this listing, so we will not invent a per-puff figure.

• The buy 5 for £10 offer is the single biggest lever on that number.
• Baskets over £20.00 ship free in the UK, so building to that threshold beats paying postage twice.
• Nicotine strength changes consumption: many adults find a higher strength means reaching for the device less often.

Banana Split against the rest of the line

The quickest way to judge a flavour is against its own siblings, not against the whole shop. There are 10 options under this name:

• Mango Magic
• Berry Burst
• Watermelon Ice
• Prime Lemon
• Grape Ice
• Snow Mint

Most regulars keep two on the go rather than committing to one. The buy 5 for £10 offer makes that cheap to do.

Why the UK market looks like this

It helps to know which limits are legal and which are commercial. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. Those three numbers explain most of the format quirks in this category.

Since single-use devices were banned, the market moved to rechargeables. 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. For most people it works out cheaper over a month, provided you stay on one platform.

Everything we sell is UK-compliant stock bought through UK distribution. Age verification applies to every order without exception.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.

• Prime before the first draw. Fill, then wait a few minutes so the wick soaks fully. A dry first pull is what burns a coil.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

None of that is demanding, and it is the difference between a product that performs to the end and one that disappoints halfway.

Buying this as a first purchase

If this is your first order with us, a few things are worth knowing before you commit.

1. Format. A bottle is the cheapest way to vape per millilitre, but you refill it yourself. Prefilled pods remove that job at a higher cost.
2. Strength. This comes in 10mg and 20mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Banana Split. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Beyond that, it is down to taste rather than technique. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

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. Delivery choices, including tracked services, appear at checkout.

Opened consumables are not returnable, which is standard for the category. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. Sales are strictly 18+ and every order is age-verified before dispatch.

Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.

Building a rotation instead of buying one thing

The single most common mistake is buying five of the same flavour. Palate fatigue sets in faster than people expect. A profile you loved on day one can taste flat by day ten, not because the product changed but because your palate stopped noticing it.

The fix costs nothing. Keep two profiles from genuinely different families on the go, and alternate between them. Something sweet paired with something sharp, or a fruit paired with a menthol, resets the palate each time you switch. Two flavours in rotation will each last noticeably longer than either would alone.

Sensible pairings from the same line:

• Pink Lemonade
• Prime Lemon
• Grape Ice
• Mango Magic
• Berry Burst
• Watermelon Ice

The buy 5 for £10 offer exists precisely for this, and it can be mixed across flavours rather than spent on one.

Where Angel fits in the wider market

It helps to know whether a brand is a hardware house or a flavour house. We list 52 Angel products, a substantial range rather than a token presence. The complete list is on the Angel page.

More products does not mean more quality. What it does give you is somewhere to go when you want a change without gambling on an unfamiliar name. Brands that make both hardware and liquid tend to design them to work together, which is why pods from one family rarely fit another. Brands that only make liquid put their effort into flavour development instead, and often outperform the hardware houses on taste alone.

The takeaway is straightforward. Once you find a brand whose profiles suit your palate, its other lines are a far safer bet than a random product at the same price. That is worth more than it sounds in a category where you cannot try before you buy. The full category runs to 736 products if you would rather compare across brands than within one.
