Caliypso Original Lemonade 100ml at a Glance

Caliypso 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Original Lemonade is a nicotine-free vape juice in a large 100ml bottle, listed at £7.99. It belongs to the Caliypso range, a line of 37 bottles on this site that all share one format, one strength and one price. That uniformity is useful. You are not weighing up bottle sizes or strength dropdowns, only deciding whether lemonade is the flavour you want in your tank.

Original Lemonade is the plainly named member of a family that also takes in the Ocean Lemonade colours, Pineapple Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade and several others. Its listing carries the flavour tags lemonade and lemon, and nothing more elaborate than that. We would rather say so honestly than invent tasting notes the product data does not support, so the flavour section below explains what a lemonade profile usually delivers and how to judge it for yourself.

A shortfill is e-liquid supplied without nicotine in a bottle that has spare room inside. Adults who want a strength can add nicotine shots to that empty space, and everyone else can vape the liquid exactly as it arrives. Because the bottle is so big, it suits refillable devices such as tanks and refillable pods. It is not intended for sealed disposables or prefilled pods, which cannot be topped up from a bottle.

The essentials in one place:

• Name: Caliypso 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Original Lemonade
• Volume: 100ml of liquid
• Strength as supplied: 0mg, so no nicotine unless you add it
• Price: £7.99 per bottle
• Type: shortfill e-liquid
• Who can buy it: adults aged 18 and over only

The sections that follow run from the flavour and the way a shortfill works through to mixing, storage, troubleshooting and delivery. Read them in order if you are new to bottles this size, or jump to the part you need if you have filled a tank before.

What a Lemonade Flavour Usually Tastes Like

Lemonade is one of the easiest vape flavours to describe and one of the trickiest to get exactly right. At its best it sits between two poles: the sharp, mouth-watering tang of lemon juice and peel, and the soft sugary sweetness of a bottled soft drink. Where any particular juice lands between them comes down to the recipe. The listing for Original Lemonade tells us the flavour is tagged lemonade and lemon, and that is all. There is no ice tag, no menthol tag and no second fruit, so nothing in the data points to a cooling effect or a blended profile.

That absence is informative in its own right. The name suggests a baseline lemonade, the reference point the brand builds its other lemonades around. Expect citrus up front, a sweet middle and a fairly clean finish, rather than a layered dessert or a candy flavour. If you want a cold bite, the Iceberg Ocean Lemonade in the same range carries an ice tag. If you want a second fruit alongside the lemon, the pineapple, strawberry and mango lemonades are all listed separately.

Your own set-up shapes the taste more than most people expect. Citrus flavours tend to read brighter and sharper at lower power, then rounder and sweeter as the coil runs warmer. If the lemon seems too tart, nudge the power up a little. If it tastes syrupy, bring it down. Airy tanks usually show more of the sparkle in a lemonade, whereas a tight, restricted draw can compress it into something flatter.

Flavour fatigue deserves a mention, because a 100ml bottle gives you plenty of time to run into it. After several days on a single flavour your palate may stop registering it, and a lemonade can start to taste faint even though nothing has changed in the bottle. Rinsing your mouth with water, switching to a different flavour for an afternoon or giving the tank a clean usually brings the taste back.

Lemonade also works as a palate refresher after heavier dessert or custard-style liquids, which is one reason it turns up so often as the second bottle in a basket. Treat the first few tanks as a trial, adjust the power to suit your taste, and judge the flavour after that rather than on the first puff.

How a 100ml Shortfill Works

The reason shortfills exist comes down to bottle sizes. Under UK rules, e-liquid that contains nicotine can only be sold in bottles of up to 10ml. Nicotine-free liquid is not held to the same cap, which is why a 100ml bottle at 0mg is perfectly ordinary to sell. A shortfill takes advantage of that gap. The brand fills the bottle with nicotine-free liquid, leaves headspace above it and lets the customer decide whether to add nicotine afterwards.

For this bottle, the 0mg strength means you can use it straight away with no mixing at all. Plenty of adults vape nicotine-free because they like the flavour and the hand-to-mouth routine, and our nicotine-free e-liquids collection exists for exactly that audience. Others want a low strength of nicotine and use shots, which are small separate bottles of concentrated nicotine liquid, to build one.

The practical process is short:

• Check the label for how many 10ml shots the bottle is designed to take.
• Open the nozzle, pour in the shot or shots, then replace the cap firmly.
• Shake for a good minute so the nicotine disperses evenly.
• Label the bottle with the new strength and the date, then let it rest before use.

Compare that with a standard 10ml bottle of nicotine salt liquid, which arrives at a fixed strength and needs no mixing. Shortfills trade that convenience for volume. You get ten times the liquid in a single purchase, a lower price per millilitre, and the freedom to choose a strength, at the cost of a little preparation and a device that can accept loose liquid.

It is worth stressing what a shortfill is not. It is not a prefilled pod, a cartridge or a disposable, and it will not slot into those. It is a bulk bottle, so you pour from it into something refillable. Once that clicks, the format is very simple, and Caliypso keeps it simple across the range by using the same 100ml size and the same 0mg strength on every flavour.

Which Devices Suit a 100ml Bottle

Not every vape can take a bottle this size, so check your hardware before you order. The short version is that anything you fill by hand from a bottle can use a shortfill, and anything sealed cannot. Sub-ohm tanks, mouth-to-lung tanks and refillable pod systems all sit on the right side of that line.

If you are shopping for hardware at the same time, our vape kits range includes starter kits that come with a refillable tank, and the refillable vape pods collection covers pods you fill yourself. Refillable pod devices usually have a small fill port, so a nozzle that is not too wide helps. Check that the tip of your bottle suits the port on your pod or tank before you start pouring.

Disposables and prefilled pods are a different story. They are sealed, engineered around their own liquid and have no way to take a bottle. If that is the type of device you use, browse the disposable vapes instead, because pouring a shortfill into one will not work and can damage the device.

Some points to run through before you buy:

• Does the device have a fill port or a removable tank you can top up?
• What does the maker recommend for liquid thickness? Shortfills are often designed for lower-resistance coils, and the bottle label or product page for your device will say what suits it.
• How big is the tank? UK tanks are capped at 2ml, so you will be refilling often, and a nozzle that pours cleanly saves mess.
• Do you have spare coils? A strongly flavoured sweet liquid ages a coil faster than a plain one.

One more thing. Because UK tanks hold only a small amount of liquid, a 100ml bottle will sit on your shelf for a long time and you will decant from it daily. Many people keep the big bottle at home and carry a small empty bottle or a spare pre-filled tank when they go out. That keeps the main bottle clean and the flavour fresh.

Adding Nicotine Shots: The Numbers

One 10ml shot at 18mg per ml holds 180mg of nicotine. That single sum is the key to every mix you will ever do with a shortfill. Divide the total milligrams by the total millilitres in the bottle after you have added the shot, and you have your final strength. Shot strengths vary between brands, so read your own label, but 18mg per ml is a very common figure and makes a good worked example.

Here is how the maths plays out for a 100ml bottle of this 0mg liquid:

• No shot: 0mg per ml, 100ml total.
• One 18mg shot: 180mg across 110ml, which is about 1.6mg per ml.
• Two 18mg shots: 360mg across 120ml, which comes to exactly 3mg per ml, but only if the bottle has room for 20ml of extra liquid.

That last line is the one to check first. A bottle can only take as many shots as its headspace allows, and the label tells you the maximum. Do not squeeze extra in, and never add a shot to a bottle that is already full. If you pour a small amount of the liquid out first to make room, the arithmetic changes, so work from the real volume rather than the headline figure.

Mixing is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. Wash your hands afterwards and wipe the nozzle clean. Shake the bottle thoroughly, because a shot is denser and can sit at the bottom if you rush. Leave it to settle for a few hours, ideally overnight, then shake once more before the first fill.

Handle shots with care. Concentrated nicotine is strong and addictive, and it should be kept away from children and pets. Nicotine shots are sold separately from this bottle, and only to adults aged 18 and over. If you use none at all, nothing in this section applies to you, and the liquid works as a plain 0mg juice straight from the box. Nobody who does not already use nicotine needs to start.

Picking a Strength That Fits Your Set-Up

Choosing a strength is partly about habit and partly about hardware. Start from where you are now rather than where you think you should be. A bottle that is too strong makes you cough and feel unwell, while one that is too weak leaves you chasing more puffs. With a shortfill you can only add nicotine, never remove it, so the sensible approach is to begin low and move up in small steps.

Device style matters more than people think. Large, airy tanks pass a lot of vapour through each draw, and users of these generally land on the lower end of the scale. Tighter, restricted draws from small pod-style devices deliver less vapour per puff, which is why those users tend to prefer higher strengths. Those higher strengths are usually supplied as nicotine salts rather than as a shortfill mix, and our nicotine salt e-liquids are sold in standard 10ml bottles for that reason.

A simple way to think about the options:

• 0mg: flavour only, no nicotine. This is how the bottle ships and where non-nicotine users should stay.
• Around 1.6mg: one 18mg shot in the full bottle, a gentle step for adults who want a trace of nicotine.
• 3mg: two 18mg shots, a common level for adults using larger tanks, provided the bottle has the space.

Be wary of copying a friend's mix. Everyone's tolerance, device and puff length differ. Take shorter draws at first, notice how you feel an hour later, and adjust the next bottle rather than the one in front of you. Nicotine is an addictive substance, and it is not suitable for anyone under 18, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

If you have never vaped nicotine and are buying this bottle simply because you like lemonade, you do not need to add anything. Plenty of adults keep a 0mg shortfill on the shelf purely for flavour, and the bottle is designed to work well that way.

Filling, Priming and Your First Tank

Setting up a fresh tank takes ten minutes rather than ten seconds, and the wait pays off. Most early dry hits and burnt tastes come from a coil that was not given time to soak, not from the liquid. Treat the first fill with Original Lemonade as a short ritual and your coil will last noticeably longer.

Work through these steps in order:

• Rinse a new tank with warm water and let it dry fully before assembly.
• Fit a coil that suits your device, then drip a few drops of liquid straight onto the cotton wicking holes.
• Fill the tank below its maximum line, taking care not to flood the central airflow tube.
• Screw the tank together, stand it upright and wait five to ten minutes so the cotton can saturate.
• Start at the low end of the power range recommended on the coil, then take a few short, gentle draws without inhaling deeply.

The liquid in this bottle is a sweet citrus profile, and sweeter liquids leave more residue on a coil than thin, unsweetened ones. You can usually spot it as a darkened, slightly sticky coil head after a few days. When the lemon begins to taste dull or scorched even with a fresh fill, a new coil is usually the cure, and we stock a wide range of vape coils for popular tanks and kits.

Keep an eye on the way you top up as well. Never let the tank run to the bottom, because a coil firing without liquid is the fastest way to ruin it. Refill when it is about a third full. Wipe the bottle nozzle and the tank threads each time so that liquid does not creep into the airflow and cause gurgling.

If you add nicotine shots, let the mixed bottle rest overnight before you fill. A freshly shaken bottle is full of tiny bubbles, and those can cause erratic wicking and spluttering in the first tank. Patience at this stage is the cheapest troubleshooting you will ever do.

Storing a Large Bottle Properly

Heat and light are the enemies of a half-used bottle. A 100ml bottle can take weeks or months to finish, and the way you store it in that time decides whether the last tank tastes as bright as the first. The rules are simple and cost nothing.

Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or drawer. A windowsill, a car glovebox, a bathroom shelf next to a radiator and a coat pocket against your body are all poor choices. Warmth speeds up the ageing of flavour compounds, and light can darken the liquid. Citrus notes are among the more delicate parts of a recipe, so a lemonade is more likely to show the effects of poor storage than a heavy dessert flavour.

Always fasten the cap fully after pouring. Air gets into an open bottle and slowly dulls flavour, and a loose cap also invites leaks if the bottle gets knocked. Store it upright so that liquid does not sit in the nozzle and seep out around the cap thread.

Some further habits worth building:

• Write the strength and the date on the bottle as soon as you add nicotine shots.
• Keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets, in its original packaging if possible.
• Never decant into unlabelled containers, especially drink bottles or anything that could be mistaken for food.
• Check the best before date on the label and use older bottles first.
• If the liquid ever smells off or looks cloudy, stop using it and do not refill with it.

Travelling is where many people run into trouble. If you decant into a small bottle for the day, use one with a proper leak-proof cap and a tight nozzle, and pack it upright inside a bag. Cabin pressure changes can push liquid out of loosely closed containers, and a pocket full of sticky lemonade is a lesson most people only need once.

One last point: shake the bottle gently before you fill, particularly after a long time resting. The ingredients can settle, and a quick mix evens things out.

Honest Pros and Cons Before You Order

Every product has trade-offs, and a 100ml shortfill has a clear set of them. Here is a plain look at both sides so you can decide without marketing gloss.

What works in its favour:

• It is excellent value per millilitre compared with small bottles, which we put into numbers later in this page.
• The 0mg strength gives you full control over nicotine, including none at all.
• The flavour is a familiar one. Lemonade is easy to enjoy, easy to describe to a friend and unlikely to surprise you.
• Every Caliypso bottle uses the same format and price, so swapping flavours is simple.
• One bottle can last a long time, which means fewer orders and fewer delivery charges.

What counts against it:

• It only works in refillable devices. Anyone using a disposable or a sealed prefilled pod needs a different product.
• If you want nicotine, you must mix it yourself and buy the shots separately.
• The listing carries only basic flavour tags, so you will not find detailed published tasting notes for this specific bottle.
• A big bottle means committing to one flavour for a while, and flavour fatigue is real.
• The bottle itself is bulky for carrying, so you will want a small travel bottle too.

Who is it best suited to? Adults who already have a tank or refillable pod, who like citrus flavours and who enjoy getting through plenty of liquid. It also suits anyone who wants a nicotine-free vape and does not want to keep reordering 10ml bottles. If you value the convenience of a single, sealed device that you throw away, it is not for you, and the disposable range will serve you better.

Think about your own routine rather than the product page. If you vape heavily from a large tank, the cost saving is substantial and the bottle will feel like a sensible purchase. If you vape lightly and only occasionally, a smaller bottle may be gone sooner than you expect to want a different flavour, so there is a case for starting with one bottle and seeing how it goes.

Troubleshooting Leaks, Dry Hits and Muted Flavour

Most problems with a refillable set-up have simple fixes, and nearly all of them come down to the coil, the fill or the airflow rather than the liquid. Work through the symptoms below before assuming something is wrong with the bottle.

The tank leaks. Check that the tank is assembled correctly, that every seal sits flat and that you have not overfilled it. Filling past the maximum line pushes liquid into the airflow and out of the base. Overtightening can also distort a seal, so snug is enough. Wipe away old residue, because it can hide a small leak.

Dry or burnt hits. This almost always means the cotton is not saturated or the coil is worn. Prime a fresh coil as described earlier, keep the tank at least a third full and avoid chain vaping, which gives the cotton no time to recover. If the burnt taste persists with a new coil, lower your power setting.

Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid in the airflow path is the usual culprit. Remove the drip tip, shake out any pooled liquid and wipe the area. Bubbles in a freshly shaken bottle can add to this, so let a mixed bottle settle before you fill.

Weak or fading flavour. Try a fresh coil first, then a rinsed tank. If the problem is your palate, rest for an afternoon or switch flavours briefly. A lemonade that tastes washed out after a long run on one bottle is more often a palate or coil issue than a fault with the liquid.

Sticky bottle or nozzle. Wipe it down with a dry tissue each time and store the bottle upright.

If you receive a bottle that is leaking in the box, damaged, or not what you ordered, stop and take a photo before using it. Our contact page shows how to reach the team, and sending your order number and a clear picture speeds things up. Do not use liquid you suspect is faulty.

Where Original Lemonade Sits in the Caliypso Range

Caliypso is a brand built around a handful of families, and Original Lemonade works as the entry point to one of them. The wider range runs to 37 products, all in the same 100ml, 0mg, £7.99 format, so your choice is about taste alone. Knowing the families helps you decide where to go next.

The lemonade line is the largest. Alongside Original Lemonade you will find a colour-coded run of Ocean Lemonades, namely Black, Blue, Deep Blue, Green, Iceberg, Orange, Pink, Purple, Rainbow and Red. There are also standalone fruit lemonades: Dark Cherry, Lemon and Lime, Pineapple, Strawberry, Sweet Mango, Triple Melon and Tropical Punch. Judging purely by those names, Lemon and Lime should be the sharper choice, while Strawberry and Sweet Mango should lean sweeter and rounder.

Beyond lemonade there are the Surf and Wave families, each available in a handful of colours such as Blue, Red, Purple and Rainbow. These carry no flavour tags in the listings, so we will not guess at what they taste like. If you want a flavour you can predict from the product data, the lemonades are the safer bet.

A sensible way to explore:

• Start with Original Lemonade as your baseline, since it carries the fewest additions.
• If you enjoy it, try one fruit lemonade next to see whether you prefer extra sweetness or extra sharpness.
• Keep the second bottle in a different flavour family if you are prone to flavour fatigue.

As your vaping changes, so can your hardware. People who start with a tank and shortfills sometimes move to a small pod device and nicotine salts for convenience, or the reverse. Neither path is better. Both can sit side by side, with a nicotine-free shortfill at home and a pocket-sized setup for the day.

Whichever route you take, the 100ml format means you are never paying a premium for experimenting. At a single flat price across the range, trying a different Caliypso flavour costs exactly what the last one did.

Price Per Millilitre, Delivery and Returns

At £7.99 for 100ml, this bottle works out at just under 8p per millilitre. For comparison, a 10ml nicotine salt bottle bought through our 5 for £10 e-liquid offer costs £2 each, or 20p per millilitre. On liquid alone, the shortfill costs about 40 per cent as much per millilitre. That is not a like-for-like comparison, because nic salts and shortfills suit different devices and strengths, and any nicotine shots you add will cost extra. It does show why heavy tank users favour big bottles.

Basket maths is worth a moment. Two bottles come to £15.98, which falls short of our free delivery threshold. Three bottles come to £23.97 and clear it comfortably. If you plan to stock up anyway, a third flavour from the same range can offset the delivery charge.

Delivery works as follows. Standard UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and takes two to three working days. Under £20 it costs £2.99. Next-day delivery costs £4.99 when you order before 4pm, Monday to Friday. Full details sit on our delivery and returns page, and that page is the one to trust if anything changes.

Returns are limited for hygiene and safety reasons. We cannot accept returns on opened e-liquids, but faulty items can be returned within 30 days for a replacement or refund. Check your bottle when it arrives and tell us promptly if there is a problem.

Age checks are part of the process. You must be 18 or over to buy, and checkout includes age verification. Our age verification page explains what is asked and why. Parcels are sent in plain packaging, and every product we stock is genuine. Make sure someone over 18 can receive the parcel, because couriers may ask for proof of age at the door.
