Deliciu Nic Salt Raspberry Key Lime 20mg: What You Are Buying

This is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid from the Deliciu range, sold under the Vaporesso name, in the Raspberry Key Lime flavour at 20mg/ml nicotine strength. It is a refill liquid, not a finished device. You pour it into a compatible refillable pod or tank, and it is formulated for low-power, mouth-to-lung vaping on small pod kits rather than for high-wattage sub-ohm setups.

The flavour pairs ripe raspberry with key lime. Raspberry brings the sweet-tart, slightly jammy red fruit note, while key lime adds a sharper, more aromatic citrus edge than a standard lime would. Together they sit in the fruit-and-citrus part of the market: bright, a little sour, and sweet enough to keep the tartness in check. If you have been looking for a refillable alternative since single-use vapes were banned in the UK on 1 June 2025, a liquid like this is the usual route, because it lets you reuse one device and simply top it up.

Here are the headline facts before we go into detail:

• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, refill only
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml, which is 2% and the highest strength legally sold in the UK
• Bottle size: 10ml, the largest container size allowed for nicotine e-liquid under UK rules
• Flavour: Raspberry Key Lime, a tart fruit and citrus blend
• Suited to: refillable pod kits and low-wattage mouth-to-lung devices
• Age restriction: 18 and over, with age checks on delivery

This guide is written from the formulation type, the flavour category and how nic salts behave in real devices, rather than from marketing slogans. Where a figure depends on your hardware, such as puffs per millilitre or battery life, we explain the range and why it varies instead of inventing a single precise number.

Specifications and Formulation

Because this is a liquid, the specifications that matter are about the formulation and the container rather than a battery or coil. Here is what you can rely on from the product type, and what you should confirm against the label on your own bottle.

• Capacity: 10ml. At 20mg/ml that means the bottle holds 200mg of nicotine in total (10ml multiplied by 20mg).
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt. Salts use an acid, commonly benzoic acid, to bring the pH down so the nicotine is gentler on the throat at high strengths.
• Strength: 20mg/ml, equal to 2% nicotine by volume.
• Base ratio: nic salt liquids are normally balanced or lean towards propylene glycol (PG) because thinner liquid wicks well in small pod coils. The exact PG/VG split is printed on the bottle, so check it if you are particular about it.
• Closure: a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap, as required for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK.
• Labelling: the standard UK health warning stating that the product contains nicotine, which is highly addictive, along with ingredients, batch code and volume.

A quick word on why salts exist at all. Traditional freebase nicotine becomes harsh and hard to inhale once it climbs above roughly 6 to 12mg/ml. Nicotine salts are chemically adjusted so you can inhale 20mg/ml without the same scratchy throat hit. They also tend to be absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream than freebase at the same stated strength, which is why many people who are stepping away from cigarettes find them more satisfying in small, low-power devices.

That faster, smoother delivery has a practical consequence. A nic salt is not a drop-in replacement for a freebase liquid in a high-powered device. Put 20mg salt into a sub-ohm tank running at 60W and you will take in far more nicotine per puff than the number suggests, and it will feel unpleasant very quickly. Salts belong in small pod systems and low-power mouth-to-lung kits.

Finally, remember the units. Strength is quoted in mg per millilitre, not in the amount per bottle. The percentage figure (2%) and the mg/ml figure (20) describe the same thing.

Flavour Profile: Raspberry and Key Lime

Raspberry Key Lime is built around contrast. The raspberry component is a rounded, slightly seedy red fruit with a jam-like sweetness on the inhale. The key lime arrives behind it, brighter and more aromatic, with a zesty finish on the exhale. The two do different jobs: raspberry supplies body and sweetness, key lime supplies lift and sourness so the whole thing does not turn syrupy.

Key lime itself is worth a sentence. It is a smaller, more fragrant and more acidic fruit than the Persian lime found in most supermarkets, and it has a slightly floral quality alongside the sourness. In e-liquid it usually reads as a clean, sharp citrus note rather than a sweet lemonade. The name also nods to key lime pie, and some vapers expect a creamy, biscuit-style dessert. We would describe this one more as a fruit-and-citrus liquid with a gently rounded sweetness. If the label does not mention cream or pastry notes, do not expect a full dessert.

What you can reasonably expect when you try it:

• On the inhale: tart raspberry with a juicy, slightly sweet character
• On the exhale: a lime-led citrus finish that clears the palate quickly
• Sweetness level: medium, enough to be pleasant without coating the mouth
• Cooling effect: none assumed. Unless the product name or label says ice or menthol, treat this as a room-temperature fruit flavour
• Aftertaste: light and tangy, with little lingering sugar

Tart flavours tend to be easier to vape through a whole day than very sweet ones. Heavy dessert and candy profiles can become cloying after a few hundred puffs, which is the classic route to flavour fatigue. A raspberry and lime combination keeps resetting your palate, so it holds up better as an all-day liquid.

Device settings change the result more than people expect. Citrus oils are delicate. Run a pod at a modest, steady wattage and the lime stays crisp; push the power too high and the lime can flatten into something bitter while the raspberry turns jammy and dull. If your device has adjustable power, start at the low end of the range for the coil and move up only if the flavour feels thin. Give a freshly filled pod a couple of minutes to saturate before judging the taste, because a half-soaked coil makes any fruit flavour seem weak.

Performance and Puff Delivery

Performance with an e-liquid comes down to three things: throat hit, vapour production and how long a fill lasts. All three depend on the strength, the base ratio and the device, so it helps to set sensible expectations.

Throat hit. At 20mg/ml in salt form the throat hit is noticeable but smooth. Newcomers from freebase sometimes describe it as firm rather than harsh. If you are used to 10mg salts you will feel the difference immediately, and some people find the first few puffs of the day stronger than they need.

Vapour. With a PG-leaning salt base and a small pod coil, vapour volume is modest compared with a sub-ohm setup. That is by design. Mouth-to-lung devices aim for flavour and nicotine delivery in a compact, discreet puff rather than big clouds. If clouds are your priority, a salt liquid in a pod kit is the wrong tool and a lower-strength freebase in a larger tank would suit you better.

How far a bottle goes. Puff counts vary a lot with puff length, coil type and wattage, so any single number is an estimate. As a working guide, a 10ml bottle in a typical pod kit tends to deliver somewhere in the region of 1,500 to 3,000 puffs. Marketing claims for single-use devices are often far higher than what real users get, and the same caution applies here. In practical terms:

• Light use: a few sessions a day, roughly a week or more from one bottle
• Moderate use: steady vaping through the day, around three to five days
• Heavy use: near-continuous use, as little as two to three days, in which case a lower strength or a different device type is worth considering

A standard refillable pod holds about 2ml, so one 10ml bottle fills a typical pod around five times. That makes it easy to track your consumption: count how many pods you get through in a day and you have your real personal usage figure.

Consistency is where a good salt earns its keep. Because the liquid is thin, it wicks quickly and delivers the same flavour from the first puff to the last in a fill, provided the coil is healthy. If flavour fades before the pod is empty, the usual culprit is the coil rather than the liquid, which we cover in the troubleshooting section below.

Bottle Design and Build Quality

Build quality for a liquid means the container, the closure and the labelling. These are unglamorous details, but they affect how safely and cleanly you can fill a pod.

• Bottle material: a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow dispensing tip. The narrow tip lets you place liquid into a small fill port without spilling, which matters because pod fill holes are often only a few millimetres wide.
• Child-resistant cap: required by UK rules for nicotine liquid. It takes a push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn motion to open. This can feel fiddly at first, but it is there to protect children and pets from a bottle holding 200mg of nicotine.
• Tamper-evident seal: a ring or band that breaks when the bottle is first opened. If it is already broken when your parcel arrives, tell us rather than using the liquid.
• Label: includes the nicotine health warning, the strength, the ingredients and a batch number. The batch number is useful if you ever need to report a problem.

Squeezable plastic is a deliberate choice. It gives you control over how much liquid leaves the tip, but it also means you should squeeze gently. A hard squeeze pushes out a burst of liquid that overflows a pod, then ends up on your hands, your keys and your phone. Hold the bottle upright over the fill port, squeeze slowly and stop a little below the fill line to leave room for the air gap.

Store the bottle upright, with the cap fully closed, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light degrade flavour and can darken the liquid over time. Keep it in a place children and pets cannot reach, and never decant it into a drinks bottle or an unlabelled container.

When the bottle is empty, close the cap and check your local council guidance. Rinsed plastic bottles are accepted in some kerbside collections, others direct you to a household waste recycling centre, and the label will carry any relevant recycling symbols. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink; seal the empty bottle and put it in the appropriate waste stream.

Pairing It With a Device: Battery and Charging

The liquid has no battery of its own, so battery and charging questions are really about the pod kit you pair it with. This section covers what to look for.

The best-matched hardware is a refillable pod system. Many popular pod kits, including several in the Vaporesso range, use a battery in roughly the 600 to 1,000mAh class with USB-C charging, a 2ml refillable pod and a coil resistance suited to nic salts. Always check the specification of your exact model, because capacity and coil options differ between generations.

A critical point: make sure the pod is refillable. Some pod systems use sealed, prefilled cartridges that are not designed to be opened. This liquid will not work with those. Look for a fill port, usually a rubber bung or a sliding cover on the side or bottom of the pod, and for the words refillable or top-fill in the product description.

• Battery size and day-to-day use: a battery near 1,000mAh will usually last a moderate user most of a day, while a smaller 400 to 600mAh unit may need topping up at lunchtime. Higher resistance coils draw less power per puff, so they stretch battery life further.
• Charging: use the USB-C cable supplied with the device or a reputable replacement, plugged into a standard USB charger. Avoid fast-charge bricks designed for laptops unless the manufacturer says they are fine.
• Charging habits: do not leave a device charging unattended overnight, do not charge it on a bed or sofa, and stop using any device with a swollen, hot or visibly damaged battery.
• Flavour near low battery: as a battery runs down, output voltage drops. Raspberry Key Lime can taste thinner and less vivid in the last 10 to 15 per cent of charge, so it is worth charging before it gets that low.

Think of it as a system: a correct coil, a healthy battery and a fresh fill all contribute to flavour. If the liquid seems underwhelming, check the device before you blame the bottle.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the household bin. Lithium batteries are a fire risk in bin lorries and recycling plants. Retailers that sell vapes are required to take back waste vapes, and many household waste recycling centres accept small electrical items. Use those drop-off points.

Coil and Mesh Technology for Nic Salts

The coil is the part that turns this liquid into vapour, and getting the match right is what separates a satisfying session from a harsh or flat one.

Nic salts are designed for coils with a resistance of roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohms, run at low to moderate power, typically somewhere between 8 and 25 watts depending on the device. Within that window there are two main constructions:

• Mesh coils: a flat sheet of metal mesh wrapped to form the heating surface. Mesh has a large contact area with the cotton, so it heats evenly, produces consistent flavour and tends to handle sweeter liquids with less spitting. It is the standard choice in modern pod kits.
• Wire coils: a conventional wound wire around a cotton wick. Wire coils are simple and cheap, and they can give a slightly more focused flavour, but they are more prone to hot spots and uneven wicking in thin pods.

For a tart, delicate profile like raspberry and lime, even heating is useful. Citrus notes burn off easily at a hot spot, which is why a poorly wicked coil makes lime taste bitter or scorched. A mesh coil at moderate power usually keeps both fruits intact.

Resistance guides how the liquid feels:

• Around 0.6 to 0.8 ohm: warmer vapour, more flavour intensity, higher power draw and faster liquid use
• Around 0.8 to 1.0 ohm: a balanced middle ground for most people
• Around 1.0 to 1.2 ohm: cooler, tighter draw, longer battery and liquid life, slightly less flavour punch

Avoid sub-ohm coils below 0.5 ohm with this liquid. They are built for higher-wattage direct-to-lung vaping and will deliver too much nicotine per puff at 20mg/ml.

Coil lifespan. A mesh coil on a sweet fruit liquid commonly lasts one to two weeks of regular use, sometimes longer on a lower-power setting. Sugar-containing sweeteners gradually build up on the coil, dulling flavour and eventually leaving a burnt note. Replace the coil when flavour fades or tastes scorched, not before.

Priming. Every new coil needs priming. Fill the pod, let it rest for five to ten minutes, and take two or three gentle puffs without firing the device to pull liquid into the cotton. Skipping this is the single most common cause of a burnt first impression.

Nicotine Strength Guidance: Is 20mg Right for You?

Twenty milligrams per millilitre is the UK ceiling for e-liquid, and it is a strong choice. Matching the strength to your needs matters more than any other decision on this page.

Nicotine salts deliver nicotine faster and with less irritation than freebase, so 20mg salt is not equivalent to 20mg freebase. It sits closer in effect to a cigarette than most freebase strengths can manage, which is exactly why it exists. As general, non-medical guidance:

• 20mg salt is generally chosen by people who currently smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who are switching from cigarettes and want to avoid slipping back.
• 10mg salt or lower suits lighter smokers, people who have been vaping for a while and are cutting down, and anyone who finds 20mg too intense.
• Non-smokers and never-smokers should not start vaping. Nicotine is addictive, and 20mg is far too strong for anyone with no existing tolerance.

How to tell if the strength is wrong:

• Too high: nausea, dizziness, headaches, a racing heart, a throat hit that feels harsh or sweaty palms. Stop, drink water, and move to a lower strength.
• Too low: frequent cravings, chain vaping, taking longer or deeper puffs than you want, or topping up the pod every hour or two.

If you take 20mg and find you are using the pod very quickly, consider whether the device is a good fit. A higher-resistance coil, shorter puffs and a slightly lower power setting all reduce how much nicotine you take in per puff.

If your goal is to reduce nicotine over time, a common approach is to step down gradually: move from 20mg to 10mg over a few weeks, then to a lower strength, keeping the same flavour so the routine feels familiar. Check this product page or the wider Deliciu range for other strengths in this flavour. Please do not try to dilute or mix 20mg salt with other liquids yourself, because it makes the final strength unpredictable and can dilute the flavour.

Nicotine is a poison in large quantities. Keep the bottle away from children and pets, and if anyone swallows liquid or gets it on their skin or in their eyes, seek medical help straight away. For support with stopping smoking altogether, your local NHS stop smoking service offers free advice and tools.

Who This Liquid Is For, and Who Should Pass

Not every liquid suits every vaper. Here is an honest breakdown.

This is a good fit for:

• Adult smokers moving to a refillable pod kit who need a 20mg salt to stay off cigarettes
• People who used single-use vapes and are switching to a rechargeable, refillable device
• Fans of fruit and citrus flavours who find pure dessert or candy liquids too sweet
• Vapers who want a flavour that holds up through a full day without becoming cloying
• Anyone with an existing Vaporesso or comparable pod kit looking for a new fill-your-own flavour

You may want to look elsewhere if:

• You have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive and you do not need it.
• You prefer big clouds and a warm, airy draw. A freebase liquid in a sub-ohm tank is a better fit, and you would need a much lower nicotine strength.
• You are sensitive to nicotine or find 20mg too strong. Look for a lower-strength option instead.
• You want a creamy, bakery-style key lime pie. This liquid is a fruit and citrus profile, so a dedicated dessert range would be a closer match.
• You own a closed system that only takes prefilled cartridges, in which case you cannot use a bottled liquid.
• You are pregnant or have a heart condition. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist first.

It also suits a particular kind of routine. Salt liquids work best when used in short, frequent sessions rather than long, deep drags. If you take a few puffs when you have a craving, put the device down and carry on with your day, that is exactly the pattern 20mg salts were made for. If you vape continuously through a working day, 20mg may be more than you need and a lower strength will cost less and be easier on your throat.

Finally, the legal point. You must be 18 or over to buy nicotine products in the UK. We carry out age verification, and the courier may also ask for ID at the door, so make sure an adult is available to receive the parcel.

How to Use Raspberry Key Lime Nic Salt

Using a bottled liquid is simple once you have done it a couple of times. Work through these steps in order.

• Step 1, check the device. Confirm your pod is refillable, the coil is in good condition and the battery has a reasonable charge. Switch the device off or lock it if it has a lock function.
• Step 2, wash your hands. Residue from earlier liquids and from your hands can affect flavour, and you do not want nicotine on your skin.
• Step 3, open the pod. Remove the mouthpiece or slide back the fill cover, depending on the model. Locate the fill port and avoid the central chimney tube.
• Step 4, open the bottle. Push and turn the child-resistant cap. Hold the bottle upright over the port.
• Step 5, fill slowly. Squeeze gently and let the liquid run down the inside wall of the pod to limit air bubbles. Stop just below the max fill line to leave a small air gap.
• Step 6, close up. Wipe any drops from the pod, seal the fill port and close the bottle cap fully.
• Step 7, wait. Leave the pod to rest for five to ten minutes so the cotton saturates, especially on a new coil.
• Step 8, first puffs. Take two or three gentle, unpowered draws to prime, then start using normally. Take slow three-to-four-second puffs rather than rapid, hard pulls.

A few habits make the experience better. Top up before the pod is completely empty, because running a coil dry is the fastest way to burn it. Keep the device upright when you are not using it so liquid does not pool in the airflow channel. Avoid chain vaping, which overheats the coil and uses liquid faster than the cotton can resupply it.

If you switch flavours in the same pod, rinse it first. Empty the pod, rinse it with warm water, dry it thoroughly and refill. Tart fruit flavours are particularly prone to mixing with leftover sweet or menthol liquids, which muddies both. Better still, dedicate a pod and coil to each flavour if you rotate between several.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most issues people blame on the liquid actually come from the coil, the fill or the device settings. Here is how to diagnose the usual suspects.

• Burnt taste: usually a dry or worn coil. Make sure the pod is filled above the coil window, prime a new coil properly and reduce the power. If the burnt note persists on a fresh coil, the previous coil was probably already damaged. Replace it.
• Weak or fading flavour: often coil fatigue after a week or two on sweetened fruit liquids. It can also be caused by a flat battery, a partly blocked airflow or a pod that is nearly empty. Try a new coil first.
• Leaking: over-filling the pod, a loose seal, or temperature and pressure changes (flying, hot cars) are the main causes. Leave a small air gap when filling, push the fill bung in firmly and carry the device upright.
• Gurgling or spitting: flooded coil or too much liquid in the airflow path. Blow gently through the mouthpiece without firing to clear it, wipe the pod and fill a little less next time.
• Harsh throat hit: 20mg may simply be too strong for you, or the power may be too high. Reduce the wattage, shorten your puffs or move to a lower strength.
• Dry hit (hot, airy, unpleasant puff): the cotton is not saturated. Stop using the coil, refill, allow it to soak and prime again.
• Muted lime or muddy taste: leftover liquid from a previous flavour. Rinse the pod and replace the coil if you cannot clear it.
• Sore mouth or cough: can come from a high nicotine strength, dehydration, or an overheated coil. Drink water, lower the power and step down your strength.

If you have tried all of these and something still seems wrong with the liquid itself, such as an odd smell, a broken tamper seal or a different colour from what you expected, stop using it. Keep the bottle, note the batch number from the label and contact customer support with photos so we can look into it.

Finally, if the device itself misbehaves, with a blinking light, no response or a charging fault, check the manufacturer's manual for the light code before assuming the pod is faulty. A cold battery can also temporarily refuse to fire, and bringing the device to room temperature usually resolves it.

Value for Money and How It Compares

Value for an e-liquid is easy to calculate. Take the shop price of the bottle and divide it by 10 to get a cost per millilitre. As an illustration only, a bottle at £4.00 works out at 40p per ml, and at a typical usage of 2ml a day that is around 80p a day. Check the live price on this page for your own number, because shop prices and multi-buy offers change.

The more useful comparison is with what you were using before:

• Against cigarettes: daily running costs for a refillable pod kit and 10ml bottle are normally a fraction of a pack a day, even after you allow for coils.
• Against single-use vapes: disposables have been banned in the UK since 1 June 2025, but even before that a refillable device paid for itself quickly. You buy one rechargeable kit, then spend only on liquid and an occasional coil, and you create far less electronic waste.
• Against freebase shortfills: shortfills are cheaper per millilitre because they use larger bottles with no nicotine, but they suit bigger tanks and need nicotine shots. For a small pod kit and a 20mg salt, a 10ml bottle is the more practical format.

Remember to include coils in your calculation. A pack of replacement coils lasting a couple of weeks each adds a small recurring cost, and it is the part many beginners forget.

Fair comparisons with similar liquids. The 10ml 20mg salt category is well populated. Ranges such as Nasty Salt, Dinner Lady Salt, Pod Salt and Elfliq all sell nicotine salts in fruit and citrus flavours at the same legal 10ml size and strengths up to 20mg. The nicotine format is the same everywhere, so the real differences are flavour accuracy, sweetness, brand preference and price. Some of those competing ranges have a longer track record and a wider choice of flavours and strengths, and if you want a huge menu to rotate between, that is a genuine advantage. Deliciu's selling point is the convenience of buying liquid under a name already associated with pod hardware, which makes it an easy choice if you already own Vaporesso gear.

Where Raspberry Key Lime stands out is in the flavour combination. Plain raspberry and plain lime are everywhere, but the pairing of the two is less common, and it is a good option if you have run through the usual blue raspberry, strawberry and mango choices. Where it is not the right pick is for anyone who wants a thick custard or cake profile; a dedicated dessert liquid will do that better.

Our honest summary is that this is a sensible, reasonably priced option for adult nicotine users who want a tart, easy-drinking fruit flavour in a 20mg salt. Buy one bottle, see how the flavour sits in your device, and then decide whether to stock up.
