Deliciu Nic Salt Menthol 20mg: What You Are Buying

Deliciu Nic Salt by Vaporesso in Menthol is a 20mg/ml nicotine salt e-liquid made for low-power pod kits and other mouth-to-lung devices. There is no fruit, no sweetener-heavy dessert layer and no candy note here. The flavour is built around a clean, cool menthol, which makes it one of the simplest profiles in the Deliciu range and one of the easiest to understand. If you are leaving cigarettes behind, particularly menthol cigarettes, or you want a cooling liquid that does not taste like a boiled sweet, this is the kind of bottle that fits the job.

It uses nicotine salt rather than freebase nicotine. In practical terms that means the vapour is smoother on the throat at 20mg than a freebase liquid of the same strength would be, and the nicotine is absorbed quickly, which is why many smokers find salts more satisfying at low wattage. It is a refill bottle, not a disposable and not a pre-filled pod, so you pair it with a device you already own or plan to buy.

This page covers the flavour, the performance you can expect, the bottle and packaging, which coils and devices it suits, how to look after the battery in your kit, how to choose a nicotine strength, who should and should not buy it, how to use it, how to fix common problems, whether it is good value, and how it compares with the alternatives. Where we have a firm number we give it. Where the answer depends on your device, we say so rather than guess.

Flavour Profile: How the Menthol Actually Tastes

Menthol is one of those flavours people assume they understand until they compare three bottles side by side. Some menthol liquids are sharp and medicinal, almost like a throat lozenge. Others are soft and minty, closer to chewing gum. Deliciu Menthol sits towards the cleaner, cooler end. The first impression on the inhale is a crisp chill at the front of the mouth, followed by a smooth, slightly dry cooling that spreads across the tongue and fades gently on the exhale. It is a flavour that is about temperature and freshness more than it is about taste in the sugary sense.

There is very little sweetness in the profile. That matters for two reasons. First, if you have been vaping fruit or dessert flavours and you find them cloying after a few hours, a plain menthol is a reset, and many vapers keep one in the drawer for exactly that purpose. Second, low-sweetener liquids are kinder to your coils. Sugary flavourings caramelise on the heating element and leave a residue that dulls the taste over days. Menthol liquids tend to keep their flavour for longer on a single coil, though no e-liquid is immune to coil wear.

• Inhale: cool, clean and slightly sharp, without a perfumed edge
• Exhale: a lingering fresh chill with a faint minty finish
• Throat feel: the nicotine salt adds a gentle warmth that balances the cooling effect
• Aftertaste: light and dry, not sticky or syrupy

A note on the cooling level. Menthol can range from mild to icy depending on how it is blended, and perception varies from person to person. Most vapers describe Deliciu Menthol as noticeable and refreshing rather than overwhelming, but if you are very sensitive to cooling agents, or you are coming from a tobacco or fruit liquid, it will feel brisk at first. Give it a few days. Your palate adjusts, and the cooling starts to feel like the point rather than a surprise.

Menthol cigarettes were withdrawn from sale in Great Britain in May 2020. A lot of former menthol smokers have since looked for an e-liquid that gives the same cool throat sensation, and a straightforward menthol nic salt is the closest match in the vape world. It will not taste identical to a menthol cigarette because there is no tobacco note underneath, but the cooling character is recognisable.

One more practical point on flavour. Menthol vapour is more noticeable to people around you than a subtle fruit vapour, because the cool minty smell carries. If you vape indoors or in a shared space, be considerate and check the rules of the place you are in.

Performance and Vapour Delivery

Because this is a refill liquid, performance depends heavily on the device you put it in. That said, nicotine salt liquids behave in a fairly predictable way, and Deliciu Menthol is formulated for the sort of low-power hardware where salts work best. At typical settings you should expect a modest cloud, a tight draw and a quick nicotine hit. This is not a liquid for chasing big clouds. It is a liquid for getting a satisfying throat hit and a steady nicotine delivery from a small, discreet device.

Nicotine salts are made by combining nicotine with an acid, which lowers the pH of the liquid and makes the vapour less harsh. That is the reason 20mg/ml of salt feels smoother than 20mg/ml of freebase nicotine, and the reason salts are the standard choice for pod kits. The trade-off is that the nicotine arrives faster and more strongly than many ex-smokers expect, so the first few sessions are best taken slowly.

• Draw style: mouth-to-lung, meaning you draw into your mouth first, then inhale. A tight, cigarette-like pull suits the liquid best.
• Power range: most pod kits run this kind of liquid comfortably at around 8W to 20W. Higher wattage makes the vapour hotter and the nicotine hit harsher.
• Vapour production: light to moderate. Do not expect the dense clouds of a high-VG sub-ohm liquid.
• Throat hit: noticeable but smooth, helped by the salt formulation and softened by the menthol cooling.
• Flavour consistency: steady from the first puff to the last of the pod, provided the coil is not worn.

Expect to take fewer, shorter puffs than you would on a freebase liquid. A common mistake with nic salts is to vape them the way you would a 3mg sub-ohm juice, with long, frequent draws. At 20mg that quickly becomes uncomfortable, with lightheadedness, nausea or a scratchy throat. Short, gentle draws spaced out over the day give better results and use less liquid.

If you are used to disposable vapes, the hit will feel familiar. The 20mg limit applies to every nicotine vape product sold in the UK, including the disposables that were common until the sale of single-use vapes was banned across the UK on 1 June 2025, so a 20mg salt in a refillable pod kit delivers a similar nicotine level to what many people were already using. The difference is that you control the hardware, the coil and the refill, and you are not throwing a whole device away every few days.

Bottle Design, Packaging and Build Quality

There is not much to a 10ml bottle, but the details decide whether refilling is a clean two-minute job or a sticky mess. Deliciu Nic Salt comes in a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow dropper-style tip, which is the standard format for nic salt liquids in the UK. The thin nozzle is designed to fit into the fill ports on most pod systems, including the small side-fill ports on many Vaporesso pods, and to let you control the flow with one slow squeeze at a time.

• Child-resistant cap: UK rules require nicotine e-liquid to be sold in child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging. You press and turn, or squeeze and turn, to open the cap, and a break-away ring shows whether the bottle has been opened before.
• Squeezable body: the plastic is soft enough to squeeze gently, so you can dose a small amount at a time. Squeeze slowly. A fast squeeze pushes liquid out in a rush and floods a small fill port.
• Labelling: UK-sold nicotine e-liquid carries a health warning, the nicotine strength, an ingredients list and batch information, and the product must be notified to the MHRA before sale. Check your bottle for the label details and keep it for reference.
• Outer packaging: usually a printed carton or sleeve showing the flavour name and strength, which is useful for telling your bottles apart if you keep several flavours.

Build quality in a bottle is mostly about the cap seal and the nozzle. Before you use a new bottle, check that the tamper ring is intact, that the cap closes firmly and that there is no liquid around the neck. Nic salt liquids are thin and will find their way out of a poorly seated nozzle. If you find a bottle that arrives leaking or with a broken seal, contact us rather than using it.

Storage is straightforward. Keep the bottle upright, with the cap closed tightly, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and well out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is poisonous if swallowed, and it can be absorbed through the skin, so wipe up spills promptly and wash any skin contact with water. Never decant it into an unmarked container or a drinks bottle.

Dispose of empty bottles responsibly. Rinse-free is fine for the plastic, but check your local council guidance, as rules on whether nicotine containers go into household recycling vary by area. Do not pour leftover liquid down the drain or into the garden.

Coil and Mesh Technology: Matching the Liquid to Your Device

E-liquid does not heat itself. The coil inside your pod or tank is what turns it into vapour, and the match between liquid and coil decides whether your experience is smooth and flavourful or flat and burnt. Deliciu Menthol is designed for the coil types found in pod systems and entry-level mouth-to-lung tanks, typically in the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range. Within that range, the exact resistance changes how the liquid behaves.

• 0.6 to 0.8 ohm coils: run at slightly higher wattage and produce a warmer, denser vapour. Menthol cooling is slightly dulled by the extra heat, but you get more vapour and a stronger throat hit. Good for people who want a bit more cloud.
• 0.8 to 1.0 ohm coils: the middle ground and the most common pairing for nic salts. Balanced flavour, controlled nicotine delivery and reasonable coil life.
• 1.0 to 1.2 ohm coils: run at low wattage, produce cooler vapour and keep the menthol cooling sharp. These suit lighter vapers and anyone who finds 20mg strong.

Mesh coils, which use a flat sheet of metal mesh instead of a wound wire, heat a larger surface area more evenly. In practice that means quicker ramp-up, more consistent flavour and less chance of a burnt hit, which is why many current pod kits use them. Ceramic-style wicking designs aim for a clean taste and good longevity. Vaporesso uses a range of coil designs across its pod systems, so the correct approach is to check the packaging or manual of your own coil for its recommended wattage range and resistance rather than assuming.

Liquid thickness matters too. Nic salt liquids are generally thinner than high-VG juices, and thin liquids wick quickly. That is a benefit in low-power pods, because the coil stays fed and does not dry out, but it also means a poorly seated pod can leak. Make sure the pod is pushed fully into the device, the fill port is closed after filling, and the coil is primed before use.

Do not use this liquid in high-power sub-ohm tanks running at 40W or more. The nicotine hit at 20mg in that setup is far too strong for almost anyone, the liquid is used up very quickly, and the coil is designed for a different type of liquid altogether. If you have a sub-ohm setup, you are better off with a lower-strength freebase liquid.

Battery and Charging: Looking After the Device You Pair It With

The liquid has no battery of its own, but the battery in your device affects how the liquid performs, so it is worth understanding the basics. Most pod kits that suit Deliciu Menthol carry a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery somewhere between about 400mAh and 1000mAh, and charge over USB-C. Check your own device specification for the exact capacity, because it varies by model.

As a rough guide, a pod kit in the 800mAh to 1000mAh range, vaped at around 12W to 15W with a 20mg salt, will typically last a moderate vaper for most of a day. Smaller 400mAh to 600mAh devices are more pocketable and need charging more often, usually every day. Your own figure depends on puff length, wattage and how often you vape.

• Charge with the right cable: use the cable supplied with your device or a reputable USB-C cable and a standard 5V charger. Avoid fast chargers that push far more power than the device expects.
• Do not leave it charging unattended: charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, and unplug when the indicator shows full. Do not charge overnight under a pillow or on a sofa.
• Keep it out of heat: do not leave a vape in a hot car, on a radiator or in direct sun. Heat degrades lithium cells and can raise the risk of leaks and, in rare cases, battery failure.
• Stop using damaged devices: if the casing is swollen, cracked or the battery gets unusually hot while charging or vaping, stop using it and contact the manufacturer.
• Charge before it dies: routinely draining to zero shortens the life of a lithium cell. Topping up when it is around 20 percent is kinder to the battery.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in your household bin or your general recycling. Lithium batteries can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Take the old device to a retailer that offers take-back, or to the electrical and battery drop-off point at your local household waste recycling centre. Vape retailers in the UK are required to offer take-back of waste vapes, so it is worth asking at the counter next time you shop. Remove or empty any remaining liquid pod first where you can.

Nicotine Strength Guidance: Is 20mg Right for You?

Deliciu Nic Salt Menthol is listed at 20mg/ml, which is 2 percent nicotine by volume and the highest strength that can legally be sold in the UK. That is the same cap that applies to disposable vapes and every other nicotine vape product. Higher is not automatically better, and picking the wrong strength is the most common reason new vapers give up on a liquid they would otherwise like.

A rough way to match strength to smoking habit is shown below. This is general guidance, not medical advice, and individual response varies.

• Around 20 or more cigarettes a day: 20mg/ml is usually the right starting point, because it delivers nicotine at a level that can replace the cigarettes.
• Around 10 to 20 cigarettes a day: 20mg/ml or 10mg/ml, depending on how strong a throat hit you like. Many people in this band start at 20mg and drop after a few weeks.
• Fewer than 10 cigarettes a day: 10mg/ml or lower is likely to be plenty. 20mg may feel harsh and cause lightheadedness.
• Social or occasional smokers: a low strength such as 5mg/ml or below is more sensible. Check which strengths are currently listed for this flavour on the product page.
• Non-smokers: nicotine vapes are not recommended. Do not start vaping nicotine if you do not already smoke.

Menthol has an additional effect worth knowing about. Cooling agents make the vapour feel smoother and easier to inhale, which can mask how much nicotine you are taking in. That is a reason to be careful with 20mg menthol: you can end up drawing more deeply or more often than you realise, and the nicotine builds up. If you start feeling dizzy, nauseous, sweaty, or get a racing heart, stop for a while and drink water. Next time use shorter draws, or choose a lower strength.

A sensible plan for someone who is quitting smoking is to start at a strength that stops the cravings, hold it for a few weeks, and then step down gradually. The NHS and local stop-smoking services can offer support, and combining a vape with behavioural support improves quit rates. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or are on medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products.

Who Deliciu Menthol Is For (and Who Should Skip It)

Menthol e-liquid has a loyal following, but it is not for everyone. Being honest about who gets value from a bottle like this is more useful than a sales pitch.

Good fit for:

• Adult smokers switching to vaping, especially those who smoked menthol cigarettes and want the cool throat sensation back.
• Pod kit users who run a Vaporesso or similar device at low wattage and want a straightforward everyday liquid.
• Former disposable users moving to refillable hardware after the single-use ban, and who want to keep a familiar 20mg salt experience at lower running cost.
• Vapers who find sweet flavours tiring and want something clean and refreshing to alternate with fruit liquids.
• People who want less coil residue, since low-sugar menthol liquids tend to leave less gunk on the heating element.

Probably not for:

• Anyone under 18, and anyone who has never smoked. Nicotine is addictive and there is no benefit in starting.
• Light or occasional smokers, who will likely find 20mg far too strong. Look for a lower strength.
• Sub-ohm and high-wattage vapers, whose hardware needs a different type of liquid.
• People who dislike cooling sensations. If menthol or mint puts you off in toothpaste or sweets, you will not enjoy this. A fruit or tobacco flavour will suit you better.
• Anyone sensitive to mint or menthol, or with a respiratory condition that is aggravated by strong cooling agents. Speak to your doctor if in doubt.
• People who want an all-in-one device. This is a refill bottle. If you want something you can open and use straight away, you need a pre-filled kit, and you should check that it is a legally sold product.

If you are unsure, buy a single bottle and give it a week before buying more. Menthol takes a few days to settle for people used to other flavours.

How to Use: Filling, Priming and Everyday Vaping

Filling a pod is simple once you have done it a couple of times. Follow these steps for the cleanest result.

• Wash your hands and prepare the surface. Work over a tissue or kitchen roll so spills are easy to wipe up.
• Remove the pod from the device. Do not try to fill it while it is connected, since liquid can get into the contacts.
• Open the fill port. On most Vaporesso pods this is a silicone plug on the side or top. Pull it back gently.
• Open the bottle and insert the nozzle. Press the tip into the port at a slight angle so air can escape as liquid goes in.
• Squeeze slowly. Fill to just below the maximum line, or about 80 to 90 percent of the pod. Overfilling causes leaks and gurgling.
• Close the port firmly, wipe the pod clean and let it rest for five to ten minutes before vaping.

Priming a new coil is the step people skip and regret. A new coil is dry, and if you vape it before the wick is saturated you get a burnt taste that can ruin the coil for good. After filling, wait at least five minutes, ideally ten for a new coil. Then take two or three gentle puffs without pressing the fire button, or press for one second at a time, to draw liquid into the wick before using it normally.

• Take short, gentle draws. Two to three seconds is plenty for a 20mg salt. Pause for 20 to 30 seconds between puffs.
• Match the wattage to the coil. If your device is adjustable, start at the lower end of the coil's recommended range and move up only if the vapour is too thin.
• Top up before the pod runs empty. Vaping on a nearly dry wick burns the coil. Refill when the pod is about a quarter full.
• Keep the device upright when you can. Storing it on its side encourages leaks.

How long will a bottle last? A 10ml bottle fills a typical 2ml pod about five times. For a moderate vaper that is usually somewhere between ten and fifteen days, though heavy users can finish it within a week and light users can stretch it to three weeks or more. Your own numbers depend on device, wattage and habits.

Troubleshooting: Fixing Common Problems

Most problems with nic salt liquids come from the hardware or the way it is being used, not from the liquid itself. Here are the issues we hear about most often and what usually fixes them.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Usually caused by a coil that has not been primed, a pod that is running low on liquid, wattage that is too high, or a coil that is simply worn out. Refill, wait ten minutes, lower the power and take gentle puffs. If the taste persists after a fresh fill, replace the coil.
• Weak or fading flavour. The coil is probably worn. Menthol liquids are kinder to coils than sweet ones, but they still wear out, usually after one to two weeks of regular use. Changing the pod is the quickest fix. Also check that the pod is seated correctly and the battery is not near empty, which can reduce output.
• Leaking from the pod or device. Common causes are overfilling, a fill port that has not been closed properly, a cracked pod, temperature changes or air pressure shifts when travelling. Fill to about 80 to 90 percent, close the port firmly and wipe the pod dry. If it keeps leaking, swap the pod.
• Gurgling or spitting. Condensation or too much liquid in the airflow path. Tip the device and blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, and avoid overfilling.
• Dry hit with no vapour. The wick is not saturated. Stop firing the device, let the pod rest for a few minutes, prime with gentle draws and check there is enough liquid.
• Throat irritation or coughing. The strength may be too high, the wattage too high, or you are drawing too long. Shorten your puffs, lower the power, or move to a lower nicotine strength. Menthol can also irritate some people regardless of strength.
• Dizziness, nausea or a headache. Signs of taking in too much nicotine too quickly. Stop vaping, sit down, drink water and wait for it to pass. Next time reduce puff length and frequency, or use a lower strength.
• Device not firing. Check the battery, check the pod is clicked in, clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud and, if the device has a lock function, make sure it is switched off.
• Menthol seems to have disappeared. This is sometimes called vape tongue, where your taste buds become desensitised to the same flavour. Take a day or two off, drink some water, or try a different flavour for a bit.

Value for Money: What a 10ml Bottle Really Costs You

The honest way to judge value in vaping is to look at cost per day, not cost per item. A 10ml bottle looks small, but it fills a typical 2ml pod about five times, and for most vapers it lasts around ten to fifteen days. Compare that with what you were spending on the alternatives.

• Versus cigarettes: a pack of 20 cigarettes in the UK costs well over ten pounds, which for a 20-a-day smoker adds up to several hundred pounds a month. A refill bottle and a pod or coil every week or two costs a fraction of that. Check the current bottle price on the product page for the exact figure.
• Versus disposable vapes: single-use vapes were never cheap per puff, and with the sale of them banned across the UK since June 2025, a refillable kit has become the standard route. The device is a one-off outlay, then liquid and occasional coils are the main running costs.
• Versus pre-filled pods: closed pods are convenient but you pay for that convenience on every pod. An open pod system that takes 10ml bottles is usually cheaper per ml of liquid.

To estimate your own running cost, work out how many 10ml bottles you use in a month, multiply by the price, and add the cost of a coil or pod every one to two weeks. A moderate vaper using two to three bottles a month and changing pods every ten days will usually spend well below what they used to spend on tobacco. Buying several bottles together can reduce the per-bottle price, and you can see multi-pack options on the Deliciu range page.

Value is not only price. A liquid that suits your device and your palate means fewer wasted bottles, fewer burnt coils and fewer relapses to cigarettes. A flavour you actually enjoy over a month is worth more than the cheapest bottle you leave half-used in a drawer. That is another reason a plain menthol makes sense for a lot of people: it is a flavour that stays palatable day after day.

One caution on bargain hunting. Be wary of unusually cheap nicotine e-liquid from unfamiliar sellers. Products must be notified to the MHRA before sale, carry the correct health warnings and come in child-resistant packaging. Cheap listings that skip these checks are a risk to you.

Honest Comparisons: How It Stacks Up Against the Alternatives

No single liquid is right for everyone, so here is how Deliciu Menthol compares with the other things you might consider. We try to be fair, including where a competing option might be a better fit.

Versus other menthol nic salts. The UK market has plenty of menthol and mint nic salts from brands such as Elf Liq, IVG, Nasty Juice, Dinner Lady and Hayati. The family resemblance is strong: cooling, clean, 10ml, 20mg. Differences come down to how icy the blend is and how much sweetness sits underneath. Some rivals are noticeably colder, and some add a spearmint or sweet minty note. Deliciu sits in the middle for coolness with little sweetness. If you want an arctic blast, look at the ice-heavy blends. If you want mint with a sweet edge, look at a spearmint or candy mint. If you want a plain menthol from a device-maker's own brand, this is a reasonable choice.

Versus a fruit flavour in the same range. Fruit and dessert flavours are more varied and more fun, but they are sweeter and tend to dull coils faster. Menthol is less exciting but more consistent. Plenty of vapers keep both.

Versus tobacco flavours. A tobacco nic salt is the closest to a cigarette taste. Menthol gives the cool throat feel but not the tobacco note. If you smoked non-menthol cigarettes, you may be happier with a tobacco profile.

Versus freebase liquids. Freebase nicotine is harsher at high strength, which is why it is usually used at 3mg to 12mg in bigger, higher-power devices. Salts at 20mg work better in small low-power pods. Neither is better overall, they just suit different hardware and different habits.

Versus shortfills. Shortfills come in larger bottles (50ml or 100ml) without nicotine, and you add nicotine shots to reach a strength. They are generally cheaper per ml but need more effort and are designed for sub-ohm devices, not low-power pods. If you have a pod kit, a ready-mixed nic salt is more convenient.

Versus pre-filled pod kits. Closed pods are the most convenient option, with nothing to fill and little to go wrong. They are also pricier per ml and give you fewer flavour choices. If you can handle a refill, an open pod and a bottle of Deliciu gives you more control and lower costs.

Overall, Deliciu Menthol is a sensible, no-nonsense everyday liquid. It does not try to do anything fancy, and for a menthol that is often exactly what you want.
