Deliciu Nic Salt Strawberry Ice 20mg overview

Deliciu Nic Salt by Vaporesso in Strawberry Ice at 20mg/ml is a nicotine salt e-liquid sold as a refill bottle. It is not a disposable vape, and it has no battery, coil or tank of its own. You pour it into a refillable pod or tank device, so the finished experience depends on two things: the liquid inside the bottle and the hardware you pair it with. This page covers both halves in plain terms so you can decide whether it suits you before you order.

Nicotine salt liquids use a different form of nicotine from traditional freebase e-liquid. The nicotine is bound to an organic acid, which lowers the pH of the liquid and makes a higher strength feel smoother in the throat. That is the reason nic salts are normally sold at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml and used in small, low-powered pod devices rather than large sub-ohm tanks. The 20mg/ml figure is also the legal ceiling in the UK: nicotine-containing e-liquid cannot be sold above 20mg/ml (2%), and refill bottles of nicotine liquid are capped at 10ml.

The essentials at a glance:

• Product: Deliciu Nic Salt by Vaporesso, Strawberry Ice
• Nicotine: 20mg/ml nicotine salt (2%)
• Format: refill e-liquid bottle, with 10ml being the maximum bottle size allowed for nicotine liquid in the UK
• Total nicotine in a full 10ml bottle: 200mg (20mg/ml multiplied by 10ml)
• Intended hardware: refillable pod systems and low-wattage mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices, usually with a coil between roughly 0.6 and 1.2 ohm
• Flavour family: ripe strawberry with a cooling finish

The Vaporesso name will be familiar to anyone who has used refillable pod kits. Vaporesso is best known as a hardware manufacturer, with pod systems such as the XROS range and a long line of coils, so a liquid sold under the Deliciu line with Vaporesso branding is naturally aimed at people running small refillable devices. That context matters because the single most common reason a nic salt disappoints is a mismatch with the device: too much power, a coil that is too open, or a pod that has not been primed. We cover all of that below.

Nicotine is addictive. This product is for adult smokers and existing vapers aged 18 or over who want a more satisfying way to replace cigarettes. If you do not currently use nicotine, this is not a product to start on.

Strawberry Ice flavour profile

Strawberry Ice sits in the fruit-and-cooling category, which is one of the most consistently popular combinations in UK vaping. The idea is straightforward: a sweet, rounded strawberry flavour on the inhale, followed by a cool sensation on the exhale. It is a familiar layout, and the appeal is that it is easy to understand from the first puff.

Here is how the flavour typically unfolds when the liquid is used in a well-matched pod device:

• Inhale: a sweet strawberry note that leans towards ripe red fruit and jam rather than tart or sharp berries. The sweetness is present but it should not feel syrupy in a properly primed pod.
• Mid-puff: the fruit rounds out and the cooling begins to build at the back of the mouth. This is where 20mg nic salt feels smooth, because the pH of the liquid takes the edge off the nicotine.
• Exhale: a clean, cool finish that lingers briefly on the tongue and lips. It is a fresh sensation rather than a heavy minty one.

It is worth being clear about what the word Ice means. In e-liquid, an ice finish usually comes from menthol or from a synthetic cooling agent, and the intensity varies a lot from one brand to another. This kind of cooling is generally moderate in a fruit liquid rather than aggressive, but taste and sensitivity to cooling are personal. If you find strong menthol uncomfortable, a fruit-and-ice liquid is a gentler route than a full menthol or mint flavour, but it is not completely cooling-free.

Strawberry itself is a tricky flavour to get right in vaping. Real strawberries are delicate and carry a lot of volatile aroma compounds, so e-liquid versions tend to land on a candy-like or jammy interpretation. If you are hoping for something that tastes exactly like a fresh punnet of strawberries, you may find any strawberry liquid a little sweeter and more confectionery-like than the real thing. If you are happy with a sweet strawberry sweet, you will probably find this easy to like.

One practical note on flavour fatigue. Sweet fruit liquids at nic salt strength can dull your taste buds if you vape heavily for long stretches, a pattern sometimes called vaper's tongue. If the flavour seems to fade after a few days, it is often your palate rather than the liquid. Switching to a different flavour for a day, drinking water and brushing your tongue usually brings it back.

Nicotine strength and whether 20mg is the right choice

This listing is for the 20mg/ml strength, which is the highest nicotine level that can legally be sold in the UK. It is not automatically the right choice just because it is the strongest. Picking the correct strength is the most important decision you will make with a nic salt, so it is worth a few minutes of thought.

As a general guide, based on common retail guidance rather than medical advice:

• 20mg/ml: usually suits adult smokers who get through around 15 or more cigarettes a day, or who need a cigarette soon after waking. It aims to deliver a hit and a nicotine level closer to what a heavy smoker is used to.
• 10mg/ml: usually suits moderate smokers, or people who have been vaping for a while and want to step down. If you are not sure, many people find 10mg a safer starting point in a nic salt because it is easier to move up than down.
• Lower than 10mg: is generally for people who are cutting down further or who vape very frequently on a low-power device.

Nic salts deliver nicotine quickly and with less throat harshness than freebase liquids at the same strength. That is a benefit if you are replacing cigarettes, but it also means it is easier to take in more nicotine than you intended, because the puffs do not feel harsh. Signs that the strength is too high for you include dizziness, nausea, a racing heart, sweating, headaches or a queasy feeling after a few puffs. If you feel any of these, stop vaping, sit down, drink some water and consider a lower strength next time.

Another point to consider is the device. A small pod running at low power produces less vapour per puff, so a 20mg liquid in a compact device delivers a controlled amount of nicotine. The same 20mg liquid in a more powerful device with a more open airflow can deliver considerably more nicotine per puff. If your device has adjustable wattage and airflow, keep both modest when using 20mg.

Finally, remember the maths. A full 10ml bottle at 20mg/ml holds 200mg of nicotine. That is a meaningful amount, so keep the bottle capped, stored upright and well out of reach of children and pets. The packaging should carry the child-resistant closure and the health warning required in the UK, and you should leave both intact.

Performance, throat hit and vapour delivery

Because this is an e-liquid, there is no puff count printed on the bottle in the way there is with a disposable. What you can reasonably assess is how the liquid behaves in a device: how it vaporises, how much throat hit it gives, how much vapour it makes, and how long a bottle lasts. Here is a realistic picture based on how 20mg nic salts generally perform in UK pod devices.

Throat hit. Nic salts at 20mg/ml give a noticeable but smooth throat sensation. It is firmer than a 10mg salt, and it is a different feeling from the scratchy harshness of a 18mg freebase. The cooling element in Strawberry Ice adds a little extra sensation on the exhale, which some users read as extra throat hit. If you find it too much, lower the power or move to 10mg.

Vapour production. Nic salt liquids are typically formulated for compact devices, and the vapour is modest compared with a sub-ohm setup. Expect a tight, flavour-forward cloud rather than a big plume. This is normal and is part of why pod systems are discreet and travel-friendly.

Flavour delivery. Nic salt pods tend to be good at carrying flavour at lower temperatures. Run the device at the lower end of its power range and the strawberry stays sweet and recognisable. Push the power up and the fruit can turn sharper, and the cooling can start to feel harsher.

Bottle longevity. This depends heavily on your habits. As a rough planning figure, a moderate MTL pod user often gets through a 10ml bottle in somewhere between one and three weeks. Heavy users, or anyone running a more powerful device, may use it faster. Because the pod holds only a small amount, you will refill it often. A tank or pod in the UK holds a maximum of 2ml, so a 10ml bottle covers around five full fills.

A simple way to estimate your own use is to track how often you refill a 2ml pod over a few days. If you refill once a day, a 10ml bottle will last roughly five days. If you refill once every two days, that stretches to about ten.

Consistency. A well-primed fresh coil gives the cleanest flavour for the first few days. After that, sweet liquids like strawberry slowly build up residue on the coil, and the flavour becomes duller or slightly burnt. This is a coil-life issue rather than a liquid defect, and it is fixed by replacing the pod or coil.

Pod and coil compatibility

The most important hardware question for this liquid is the coil. Nic salts are designed for low-power, mouth-to-lung vaping, so you want a coil that handles a thinner, saltier liquid at modest wattage. As a rule of thumb, aim for a coil in the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range, run at roughly 8 to 15 watts, though always follow the range printed on your own pod or coil.

Common coil types you will encounter and how they pair with a fruit-and-ice nic salt:

• Mesh coils (around 0.6 to 0.8 ohm): spread heat over a wide surface, so they tend to give a fuller flavour and even vaporisation. They are well suited to sweet fruit liquids, and they are common in current pod kits. They do use liquid a little faster than a tight, high-resistance coil.
• Standard wire coils (around 0.8 to 1.2 ohm): give a tighter draw and use liquid more slowly. They are a good match for 20mg because you get a controlled amount of vapour and a strong throat feel.
• Sub-ohm coils (below 0.5 ohm): are designed for freebase and high-VG juices at much higher power. They are not a good match for a 20mg nic salt, and using one will deliver far too much nicotine in a single puff.

Before you buy, check three things on your device:

• The recommended wattage range of the coil or pod.
• The airflow design. Tight, restricted airflow suits nic salts, while very open airflow suits sub-ohm juice.
• Whether the pod is refillable. Some pods are sealed and pre-filled, and these cannot be refilled with a bottle of liquid.

Vaporesso has produced a number of pod systems, such as the XROS family, and the compatible coils vary from model to model. Because coil and pod designs change, the safest approach is to check your own device manual. If it advertises a pod or coil for nicotine salts or MTL use, it is intended for a liquid like this.

If you are new to refillable devices, a few more practical tips. Do not overfill, because flooded coils cause gurgling and leaking. Use the fill port correctly, and if the pod has a silicone plug make sure it is fully seated afterwards. Avoid mixing different liquids in the same pod, because the flavours muddy and the coil can become harder to read.

Finally, remember that a new coil needs priming before it is used. We explain how in the usage section below.

Battery, charging and recycling

The e-liquid has no battery of its own, so battery life depends entirely on the device you pair it with. Even so, battery and charging questions come up constantly with refill customers, so here is the practical guidance.

Small refillable pod kits usually have an integrated rechargeable battery somewhere between about 400mAh and 1000mAh, charged over USB-C. A 20mg nic salt in an MTL pod draws modest power, so a device in this range often lasts a day or more of moderate use before it needs a top-up. Higher-capacity devices last longer, and bigger batteries take longer to charge. You can use the battery capacity printed on your device as the starting point for estimating how often you will need to charge.

Safe charging habits that protect both the battery and you:

• Use the cable that came with the device, or a reputable USB-C cable and a standard wall adapter.
• Do not leave the device charging unattended overnight on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa.
• Stop using any device that gets unusually hot, swells, smells odd or shows damage to the casing.
• Do not carry loose lithium cells in a pocket with keys or coins.
• If the device has a short-circuit or low-voltage warning light, treat it as a prompt to stop and check, not to press on.

A fully drained battery can take somewhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours to recharge depending on capacity and charger. Many devices let you vape while charging (pass-through), but charging without vaping is gentler on the battery over time.

Recycling in the UK. Vape devices contain lithium batteries and electronics, so they must never go into household waste or recycling bins. They count as waste electrical equipment, and in the UK shops that sell vapes are required to offer free take-back. You can also use a household waste recycling centre or a dedicated vape recycling drop-off point. Removing the pod or coil first is a sensible habit where you can.

The empty e-liquid bottle itself is usually plastic. Rinse it out if your council asks for that, leave the child-resistant cap on, and check whether your local scheme accepts small plastic bottles. If you are not sure, the council website for your postcode will say. Never pour leftover liquid down a drain, and keep any residue away from pets and children.

This is also the context for the UK ban on single-use disposable vapes that arrived in June 2025. Refillable devices combined with bottled liquid are the route that generates far less waste, which is one reason many UK vapers have switched to them.

Bottle design and build quality

With an e-liquid, the packaging is the product build. You are not judging a casing or a screen; you are judging whether the bottle protects the liquid, pours cleanly and meets UK safety requirements. Here is what to look for on the Deliciu Nic Salt bottle.

Bottle size and shape. UK rules limit nicotine e-liquid bottles to 10ml, so you will find the liquid in a small plastic bottle with a narrow tip. The thin nozzle is designed to fit into the small fill ports found on pod devices. Squeeze gently and steadily, because a hard squeeze produces a burst and a spill.

Child-resistant closure. The cap should require a push-and-turn or a similar action to open. This is a legal requirement for nicotine liquid and it is a feature worth appreciating if you have children or pets in the house. Do not remove or work around it.

Tamper evidence. A sealed cap or a seal ring means you can tell the bottle has not been opened since it left the factory. If a bottle arrives with a broken seal, contact us rather than using it.

Labelling. UK-sold nicotine liquid must carry the nicotine strength, ingredients list, a batch number, and the standard health warning that nicotine is a highly addictive substance. Check these on arrival. They are also where you confirm that you have the right strength, since 10mg and 20mg bottles are very similar in appearance.

Light and heat. Like most e-liquids, this one is best kept away from direct sunlight and heat. Light and warmth gradually darken the liquid and change the flavour. Store the bottle upright in a cool cupboard with the cap tightened.

Shelf life. Unopened, e-liquid typically keeps well for a year or more if stored correctly. Once opened, use it within a few months for the best flavour. A darker colour over time is normal with nic salts and is not usually a sign of a problem, though a sour or off smell is.

A short, practical tip for refilling: wipe the bottle nozzle after every fill, and keep a piece of kitchen roll nearby. Nic salt liquid on bare skin is absorbed, so if you spill any, wash it off with soap and water rather than letting it sit.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should skip it

Strawberry Ice at 20mg is aimed at a specific group of people, and it is honest to say it will not suit everyone. Here is a quick way to tell whether you are the right customer.

It is a good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker (18 or over) who is trying to move away from cigarettes and who smokes roughly 15 or more a day or has a strong morning craving.
• Already own, or plan to buy, a refillable pod device built for MTL vaping and nic salts.
• Like sweet fruit flavours with a cool finish and want something easy to use all day.
• Prefer a discreet device with modest vapour rather than big clouds.
• Want to cut down on waste by using a refillable system instead of single-use products.

It is probably not for you if you:

• Have never used nicotine. Starting a nicotine habit with a 20mg salt is not advisable.
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and we will not do so.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition, high blood pressure or another health issue, unless you have spoken to a doctor or pharmacist first.
• Use a sub-ohm tank at high wattage. A 20mg salt in that kind of device delivers far too much nicotine, and you should use a lower-strength freebase instead.
• Dislike any cooling sensation. The ice finish is part of the flavour design.
• Only want a ready-to-use device. This is a liquid, so you need a separate refillable kit.

For smokers who want to switch, the broader UK public health position is that vaping is much less harmful than smoking, although it is not risk-free. Stop-smoking services in the NHS can provide support and advice on moving to vaping and then tapering your nicotine. If you want to quit nicotine altogether, ask your pharmacist or GP what is available.

People who vape casually, such as social users who want the occasional puff, are usually better off on a lower strength like 10mg or less. The 20mg option is meant for heavier nicotine users who would otherwise find lower strengths unsatisfying and drift back to cigarettes.

How to use Deliciu Nic Salt step by step

Using a refill liquid is simple once you have done it a few times. If you are new to refillable devices, follow these steps in order.

• Step 1: Check the device. Make sure it is a refillable pod or tank designed for nic salts, and that it is switched off or locked before you open the fill port.
• Step 2: Prepare the pod. Remove the pod from the battery section. Open the fill port, which is usually a silicone plug or a sliding cover.
• Step 3: Fill carefully. Hold the pod upright. Place the bottle tip against the fill port and squeeze gently until the liquid reaches just below the maximum line. Never fill into the central air tube. Leave a small gap of air at the top.
• Step 4: Close it up. Press the plug firmly back into place, wipe off any spilled liquid from the outside, and clean your fingers.
• Step 5: Prime the coil. Let the filled pod stand for around 5 to 10 minutes so the liquid soaks into the cotton. Dry cotton burns instantly, and this single step prevents most burnt-taste problems.
• Step 6: Take a few gentle puffs. Without firing the device, take two or three slow draws to pull liquid into the coil. Then start vaping at the lowest recommended power.
• Step 7: Adjust. If the flavour is faint, raise the power a little. If the throat hit is too strong or the cooling is too much, lower the power.

Technique matters. With nic salts, aim for slow, gentle mouth-to-lung draws of a few seconds, followed by a pause. Short, sharp pulls do not heat the coil properly, and long deep pulls deliver too much nicotine. Take a break between puffs, because rapid chain vaping makes the coil run dry and gives a burnt taste.

Between sessions. If you will not be using the device for a while, keep it upright and cap the mouthpiece. Do not leave a full pod in a hot car or in direct sunlight, because heat thins the liquid and causes leaks.

Changing flavours. If you swap to a different liquid, empty the pod and let the coil dry, or fit a new pod. Mixing residues muddies the taste and makes the coil harder to prime.

Storing the bottle. Always tighten the cap after use, store the bottle upright, and keep it in a cupboard rather than in a bag or pocket, where it can be squeezed and leak.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with refill liquids come down to the coil, the fill level or the power setting, rather than the liquid itself. Work through this list before assuming something is wrong with the bottle.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Almost always a dry or worn coil. Make sure you primed the pod for at least 5 to 10 minutes, avoid chain vaping, and replace the coil if the taste persists. Sweet fruit liquids can wear out coils faster than non-sweet ones.
• Weak or muted flavour. Usually a worn coil, a low battery or vaper's tongue. Try a fresh pod, charge the battery, and rest your palate for a day with water or a different flavour.
• Gurgling noises or spitting. There is too much liquid in the pod or condensation in the airway. Remove the pod, tap out any excess, and wipe the mouthpiece. Do not overfill in future.
• Leaking. Check that the fill plug is fully seated and that the pod is not cracked. Altitude changes, hot environments and loose seals are all common causes. Keep the device upright.
• Throat hit too harsh. Lower the wattage, take shorter and softer puffs, or move to a 10mg strength. Check that the airflow is not fully closed.
• Dizziness or nausea. The nicotine dose is too high for you. Stop, drink water, and next time use a lower strength or fewer puffs.
• Dry hits (no vapour, hot and harsh). The cotton is not saturated. Refill, wait, prime, and only then start again.
• Device will not fire. Check the battery charge, make sure the pod is seated correctly, clean the contacts with a dry cloth, and make sure the device is not locked.
• Sticky residue around the mouthpiece. Normal build-up from sugars in sweet liquids. Wipe it clean regularly.

When to replace the coil. A typical pod coil lasts roughly one to three weeks, depending on how much you vape and how sweet the liquid is. If flavour fades even after priming and refilling, replace it rather than fighting it. Spares are inexpensive compared with the frustration of a burnt coil.

If you receive a bottle that is damaged, leaking from the factory seal or clearly the wrong strength, do not use it. Contact customer support with your order number and a photo and we will help you sort it out.

Value for money

Refill liquids are generally the most economical way to vape in the UK, and this is one of the main reasons smokers switch to them. The relevant comparison is not the price of the bottle in isolation, but the cost per day across the whole system.

Here is how to think about it:

• Cost per ml. A 10ml bottle gives you 10ml of liquid. Divide the price by 10 to see the cost per millilitre, and compare that across brands. A cheaper bottle is not necessarily better value if the flavour is thin or the batch quality is inconsistent.
• Cost per day. If you use a bottle in a week, divide the price by seven. Many smokers find this is well below what they spent on cigarettes.
• Hardware costs. A refillable kit costs more upfront than a single-use device would, but the kit lasts for months, and replacement coils and pods are cheap. Over a quarter, refillables almost always work out much cheaper than repeatedly buying single-use products.
• Multi-bottle savings. If you settle on a flavour, buying several bottles together often gives a lower unit price. Check for bundles on the site, and check the best-before date if you plan to stockpile.

Compared with disposables, which are now banned for sale, a refillable pod running this liquid gives you control: you can change strength, change flavour and replace only the parts that wear out. The trade-off is a little more effort. You have to refill, prime and maintain the device, which a disposable never asked of you.

Is the price fair for what you get? A branded nic salt from an established name typically costs a little more than an unbranded budget liquid and a little less than boutique artisan brands. You are paying for consistent batch quality, a recognisable brand and flavour that matches the description. That is a reasonable proposition for most people, although if budget is your only concern, there are cheaper bottles on the market.

The best way to judge value is to treat the first bottle as a test. If you finish it, enjoy the flavour and find the strength right, then the price per day is a fair guide to what you will spend going forward.

How it compares with other nic salt options

It would not be honest to claim this liquid is the right choice for everyone, so here is a fair comparison with other things you might be considering.

Versus other branded nic salts. The UK market has plenty of established nic salt ranges, from Elfliq and Nic Nac to Pod Salt, Nasty Salt, Hayati and IVG. They all follow the same basic recipe of nic salt at 10mg or 20mg in a 10ml bottle, and the real difference is flavour. If you like a particular brand's strawberry, you may prefer it to this one. Flavour is subjective, so we would encourage you to try one or two and decide for yourself.

Versus freebase e-liquid. Freebase liquid typically has a higher VG content, produces bigger clouds and suits sub-ohm tanks. It feels harsher at higher strengths, so it is generally sold at lower nicotine levels. If you want large clouds and a lot of flavour at low power, freebase is the better route. If you want a smooth, cigarette-like hit from a small device, nic salt is better.

Versus pre-filled pods. Pre-filled pods are convenient and you never touch the liquid, but you are limited to the flavours and strengths the maker offers, and you pay more per ml. Refilling gives you more choice and a lower running cost, at the price of a little mess and learning.

Versus disposable vapes. Single-use disposables are now prohibited for sale in the UK, and they were also the more wasteful and more expensive option over time. A refillable kit with bottled liquid is the sensible alternative, and it is easier to recycle.

Versus 10mg Strawberry Ice. If you are unsure about strength, a 10mg bottle in the same flavour is a gentler option. It will feel milder and the nicotine will be delivered more slowly. Heavier smokers may find it unsatisfying and puff more to compensate, which can reduce the saving. Lighter smokers will find 20mg unnecessarily strong.

Versus other flavours in the Deliciu range. If you enjoy the fruit-and-ice style but want a different fruit, the range includes other nic salt flavours at the same strength, so you can keep your device and settings the same and simply swap the liquid.

The honest conclusion is that this is a competent, familiar flavour from a recognised name, suited to smokers moving to a small refillable device. It does not claim to do anything radically different, and it does not need to.
