Deliciu Nic Salt by Vaporesso 20mg at a glance

Deliciu Nic Salt by Vaporesso 20mg is a nicotine salt e-liquid sold in the UK-standard 10ml bottle, made for low-power pod systems and small refillable devices. The 20mg/ml strength (2%) sits at the legal ceiling for nicotine in UK e-liquid, and the nic salt format is the reason a liquid at that strength can still feel manageable in the throat. If you are moving from cigarettes, from a disposable, or from a lower-strength freebase liquid and want something that behaves well in a compact device, this is the kind of product the category exists for.

Before we get into detail, here are the headline facts that matter when you are deciding whether this bottle is right for you.

• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, refill bottle (not a device, not a disposable).
• Strength: 20mg/ml nicotine, the maximum permitted for e-liquid sold in the UK.
• Bottle size: 10ml, the maximum size permitted for nicotine e-liquid in the UK.
• Typical base: nic salt liquids in this class are commonly balanced around 50% VG and 50% PG, but always read the label on your own bottle for the exact ratio.
• Best suited to: pod kits, pen-style refillable devices and mouth-to-lung (MTL) or restricted direct-to-lung setups running at low wattage.
• Not suited to: sub-ohm tanks, high-wattage mods or cloud chasing.

It is worth being clear about what this page is and is not. We are describing the product category, the format and the use case in plain terms, using the information that can be reasonably reasoned from the listing. The exact flavour variant you choose is shown on the product page, and the ingredient list, batch details and any specific VG/PG ratio are printed on the bottle and the carton. Where we give figures for devices, they are typical ranges so you can judge compatibility, not claims about a particular unit.

Why does this matter in the UK right now? Disposable vapes have been banned from sale since 1 June 2025, so many smokers and vapers who used to rely on a throwaway device have moved to a refillable pod kit and a bottle of nic salt. A 10ml bottle of 20mg liquid is effectively the replacement for that experience: you buy the device once, then top it up for a fraction of the running cost. Used sensibly, a single bottle goes much further than a typical disposable ever did, and the empty packaging and device can be recycled properly rather than ending up in a hedge or a bin.

The rest of this guide walks through the format, the flavour approach, how it performs, which devices suit it, how to use it safely, how to troubleshoot problems, and how it compares with the alternatives. If you are new to vaping, read the sections on strength and who it suits first. If you already use nic salts, the performance, coil and value sections will be the most useful.

What nic salt means and how UK rules shape this bottle

Nicotine exists in two common forms in e-liquid. Freebase nicotine is the traditional form: it is alkaline, hits the throat harder as strength rises, and is usually used at 3mg to 12mg in larger-vapour setups. Nicotine salt, or nic salt, pairs nicotine with an organic acid (benzoic acid is common) to lower the pH of the liquid. The result is a noticeably smoother throat feel at high strength, which is why a 20mg nic salt can be comfortable where a 20mg freebase would be harsh and unpleasant.

There is a second difference that is easy to overlook: how the nicotine is delivered. Salt formulations tend to give a quicker, more satisfying delivery of nicotine per puff at modest power, so you need fewer and smaller inhalations to feel satisfied. That is the practical reason salts suit small pod devices that cannot, and should not, produce huge clouds.

In the UK, the rules for nicotine e-liquid are tightly defined, and every legitimate bottle you buy follows the same frame:

• Maximum strength: 20mg/ml of nicotine. A bottle labelled 20mg is already at the legal limit, and there is nothing stronger sold lawfully.
• Maximum bottle size: 10ml for refill liquids containing nicotine.
• Maximum tank or pod capacity: 2ml for the device you refill.
• Packaging: child-resistant, tamper-evident closures, plus health warnings and ingredient information on the label.
• Age restriction: you must be 18 or over to buy, and a reputable shop will verify that at checkout or on delivery.

The same 20mg cap applies to disposables and pods as well as bottles, so no lawful product on the UK market will push nicotine higher than this one. That is useful context if you are comparing strengths: 20mg here means the same ceiling as any other 20mg product, whether it is a pre-filled pod or a bottle.

One more practical point. Because of the 10ml limit, you will go through bottles regularly if you vape heavily, and that is simply a function of the regulations, not a sign the product is poor value. If you find yourself using a bottle in a couple of days, that is a strong hint that your strength, your device or your puffing pattern needs adjusting, which we cover later.

Finally, this is a nicotine product. Nicotine is addictive. It is intended for adults who already smoke or use nicotine, as an alternative to cigarettes. If you do not currently use nicotine, you should not start. Keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets, and store it with the child-resistant cap fully tightened.

Flavour profile and what to expect from the taste

Deliciu is a brand name that signals a sweet, approachable direction, and the range is built around easy-drinking flavours rather than harsh or medicinal ones. The specific flavour you pick is shown on the product page, so rather than guess at tasting notes for a variant we cannot confirm here, it is more useful to explain how flavour behaves in a 20mg nic salt and how to read the description on the listing.

First, understand that nic salt and flavour interact. A higher-strength salt has a slight natural warmth and a subtle edge that sits underneath the flavour. In a well-balanced recipe this is barely noticeable and simply gives the liquid body. In a very delicate flavour it can mute the top notes a little. This is why sweet, fruit-led and dessert-style profiles are so common at 20mg: they have enough weight to carry the nicotine without being overwhelmed by it.

When you read a flavour description, these are the families you are likely to meet:

• Fruit: bright and juicy, often with a clean finish. Good for all-day vaping because it does not coat the mouth.
• Ice or menthol-touched fruit: a cool exhale layered over a fruit base. The cooling agent can make a high-strength salt feel smoother, but too much can feel sharp.
• Candy and sweets: sweeter, rounder and more intense. Expect the flavour to linger.
• Dessert and cream: thicker, richer profiles that can build up on a coil faster than a light fruit does.
• Tobacco and mellow blends: closer to the habit of smoking, popular with people stepping away from cigarettes.

Sweeter liquids deserve one practical note. Sweeteners and heavier flavour compounds are more likely to caramelise on a coil, which is the source of that dark, slightly burnt taste people sometimes blame on the liquid itself. Keeping the power low, taking shorter puffs and not chain-vaping will protect both the flavour and the coil. If you vape sweet salts all day, expect to change the coil or pod somewhat more often than you would with a light fruit or menthol.

A fair expectation for taste: at low wattage in a pod device you will get a focused, concentrated flavour rather than a big airy cloud. The flavour should be clear on the inhale and settle quickly, with a short aftertaste. If a flavour tastes muted on the first day, give it a few refills for the new coil to settle in before judging. If it tastes harsh or acrid, the usual cause is a burnt or overly new coil, or power set too high, not the liquid.

If you like variety, buying two different Deliciu flavours and alternating between tanks or pods is a sensible way to avoid flavour fatigue, which is when you stop noticing a taste you have used for days. Always flush and rinse a pod before changing flavour so the two do not blend.

Performance and vapour delivery in everyday use

Performance with an e-liquid is really about three things: how much vapour it produces in your device, how satisfying each puff feels, and how consistent the liquid stays from the first refill to the last. A nic salt at 20mg is designed for the second of those. It aims to give a satisfying hit at low power and with small, controlled puffs.

Because this is a refill and not a disposable, there is no fixed puff count printed on the pack. Longevity depends on your device, your power and how you puff. As a rough way to think about it, a 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod around five times. How long each 2ml pod lasts varies widely from person to person: many light and moderate users find a pod lasts from half a day to a full day, and a heavier user may finish one faster. That puts a full 10ml bottle in the region of several days to a couple of weeks for typical use, with real-life variation either side.

What good delivery feels like in practice:

• Throat hit: present but rounded. A new vaper may still find 20mg strong, but it should not scratch. If it does, the device power is probably too high or the strength is more than you need.
• Vapour volume: modest and tidy. You will not make huge clouds from a nic salt pod, and that is intended. Thinner vapour with concentrated flavour is the trade-off for a compact device.
• Nicotine satisfaction: quick. Many users notice they need fewer puffs per session than with freebase, so they feel less need to keep puffing.
• Consistency: a well-made salt should taste the same from the first pod to the last, with no sudden drop-off, as long as the coil is healthy.

It is important to avoid the usual trap: dialling the power up chasing a bigger cloud. Raising wattage on a nic salt delivers more nicotine per puff, and at 20mg that gets uncomfortable quickly. It also heats the coil harder, shortens its life and degrades the flavour. If you want more vapour, a lower-strength freebase liquid in a device built for it is the right route, not turning up a 20mg salt.

Performance also depends on keeping the device in good shape. A coil that is nearly spent will give weak flavour, gurgling or a burnt edge long before the liquid itself runs out. If the taste fades while the pod still looks half full, replace the coil or pod before assuming the bottle is at fault.

In short, expect clean, controlled delivery in a compact setup. It is a product for people who want a discreet, satisfying alternative to smoking rather than a hobbyist chasing volume.

Bottle design, build quality and storage

Because this is a liquid, the build quality that matters is the bottle and cap rather than a device shell. UK-regulated 10ml nicotine bottles share a common design, and you should expect the following from this one.

• Material: a plastic bottle, usually PET or a similar food-grade plastic, soft enough to squeeze and measured for controlled filling.
• Nozzle: a long, narrow dropper tip, built to fit into the small fill ports on pod devices without spilling. This is more important than it sounds, because pod fill holes are tiny.
• Cap: a child-resistant closure that you press and turn, with a tamper-evident ring that is intact on a new bottle.
• Label: health warning, nicotine strength, ingredient list, batch or lot code, and a best-before date.

Check the seal when your order arrives. A tamper-evident ring that is already broken, a loose cap or a damaged bottle should be reported to the shop straight away with a photo rather than used.

How you handle and store the bottle affects the liquid more than most people expect:

• Keep it out of sunlight and heat. UV light and warmth degrade both the nicotine and the flavour compounds, and the liquid will darken and taste duller. A cupboard or drawer is ideal; a car dashboard is not.
• Keep the cap tightly closed. Air exposure oxidises nicotine over time. Tighten the cap after every refill.
• Store upright. This reduces leakage around the nozzle and cap.
• Keep away from children and pets. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed or absorbed through the skin in quantity. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. In case of swallowing or eye contact, seek medical advice immediately.

A slightly darker colour over time is normal for nicotine liquids and is not automatically a fault. What you should not accept is a strong chemical smell, visible particles or a sharp change in taste, which suggest the liquid has gone off or has been stored badly. If that happens, do not vape it.

For a comfortable refill, squeeze the bottle gently, rest the nozzle against the inner edge of the fill port, and stop before the pod is completely full to leave room for air. Wipe away any drips, because liquid on the outside of a pod can leak into the battery contacts and cause faults.

When the bottle is empty, do not put it in with general waste if you can avoid it. Rinse it out if your local authority asks, and take empty plastic bottles to the right household recycling stream. Pods, coils and the device itself, which contain electronics, belong at a WEEE drop-off point rather than in the bin.

Coil technology and which pods and tanks suit this liquid

E-liquid does not have a coil, but the liquid is only as good as the coil it is heated by, so it is worth being precise about what pairs well with a 20mg nic salt. Vaporesso is known primarily as a hardware maker, and its pod systems are built around replaceable coil heads or pods. Whether you use a Vaporesso device or another brand, the same principles apply.

What to look for in a coil for a 20mg salt:

• Resistance: roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohm. Lower resistances in that band give warmer vapour and more flavour but use more liquid and deliver more nicotine; higher resistances give a tighter, cooler draw.
• Coil type: mesh coils spread heat over a wide surface and give consistent flavour with fewer hot spots. Ceramic coils are also common in compact pods and tend to give clean, neutral flavour and good longevity with sweet liquids. Both work well with a 50/50 style salt.
• Wattage range: most pod coils for salts are designed for about 10 to 25 watts. Staying in the middle of the manufacturer's recommended range usually gives the best taste.
• Airflow: a tighter, restricted draw (mouth-to-lung) suits 20mg best. Very open airflow dilutes the hit and wastes liquid.

It is important to avoid mismatched equipment. A sub-ohm tank with a coil of 0.3 ohm or below, fed at 40 watts or more, will pull far more liquid and nicotine than a 20mg salt is designed for. The result is an overwhelming hit, harsh vapour, and a bottle that is gone in a day. If your device is built for sub-ohm, use a lower-strength freebase liquid instead.

Priming matters as much as the coil type. A new coil must be saturated before first use, or it will burn instantly. After fitting a new pod or coil head, add liquid, let it sit for five to ten minutes so the cotton wicks fully, then take a few gentle puffs without firing at full power. This one habit prevents most early coil failures.

Coil life depends on how you vape. Sweeter and thicker liquids leave more residue, so a coil used with dessert or candy flavours might need replacing every week or so, while a coil used with lighter fruit or menthol often lasts longer. Signs a coil is spent include a burnt or flat taste, reduced vapour, gurgling, or leaking. Do not try to extend it by increasing the power; replace it.

If you are unsure whether your existing device suits this bottle, check the device manual for the recommended nicotine type. Many modern pod kits state clearly that they are made for nic salts, and that is the safe indicator that 20mg will work properly.

Battery, charging and device pairing

A bottle of liquid has no battery of its own, so the battery and charging considerations belong to the device you use it in. This matters, because the right battery behaviour is what keeps your vaping steady throughout the day.

Small pod kits that suit nic salts typically carry batteries somewhere between about 400mAh and 1000mAh. At the lower end, a pod device is slim and easy to pocket but may need charging once a day for moderate use. At the upper end, you can expect a day or more between charges. Because salts are used at low power, these small batteries last a surprisingly long time compared with a high-wattage mod.

Good charging habits protect the battery and keep you safe:

• Use a USB-C cable and a standard wall or computer port. Avoid unknown, unbranded fast-charge adapters; a basic 5V charger is all a pod device needs.
• Do not charge unattended or overnight on a soft surface. Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface where you can see it.
• Do not use a damaged device or cable. A dented casing, swollen battery or frayed cable is a reason to stop using it.
• Do not leave the device in a hot car or in direct sun. Heat is the main enemy of small lithium cells.
• Do not charge a device that is wet with liquid. Wipe the contacts and let them dry first.

Many devices have an LED indicator that shows charge level, and some are draw-activated while others have a button. A draw-activated device simplifies things because there is nothing to press, but it can also fire accidentally in a bag, so use a lock mode if the device has one, and keep the pod facing up in a pocket.

If battery life suddenly drops, check three things before blaming the cell. First, a leaking pod can drain a battery by creating a short at the contacts, so look for liquid. Second, a dirty contact point can reduce efficiency, and a quick wipe with a dry cloth helps. Third, a high-resistance coil sometimes asks the device to work harder; replace it if the performance has dropped.

When a device reaches end of life, do not throw it in the household bin. Lithium batteries are a real fire risk in waste trucks and recycling plants. Take vape devices and batteries to a WEEE drop-off point, a household waste recycling centre, or a retailer's take-back scheme, since UK shops that sell vapes have recycling obligations.

Choosing the right nicotine strength

Picking the right nicotine strength is the single biggest factor in whether this product works for you. Too low, and you stay unsatisfied and keep reaching for cigarettes. Too high, and you feel dizzy, nauseous or jittery. The 20mg option is deliberately the top of the range, so it is aimed at a specific group of people.

As a rough guide, typical starting points for nic salts look like this:

• 20mg/ml (2%): for smokers of around 10 or more cigarettes a day, or people who smoke within an hour of waking, and who want to stop smoking entirely.
• 10mg to 12mg/ml: for lighter smokers (about 5 to 10 a day), those who find 20mg too strong, or people who have been vaping for a while and are stepping down.
• 5mg to 6mg/ml: for very light users or those close to quitting nicotine altogether.

These are guidelines rather than rules, and individual tolerance varies. Signs that 20mg is too strong include lightheadedness, nausea, a racing pulse, a sore or scratchy throat even at low power, or finishing a pod in less than an hour because you are chain-vaping to chase a feeling. If that happens, step down to a lower strength. The aim is to use the lowest strength that stops you smoking.

Signs that you may need to stay at 20mg are the opposite: you feel unsatisfied after several puffs, you have cravings soon after vaping, or you find yourself going back to cigarettes between sessions. Under-dosing nicotine is a very common reason people relapse to smoking, so if you are serious about switching, do not start too low.

A sensible approach is to start at the strength that matches your smoking habit, use it for two to four weeks, and then reassess. Many people find they naturally reduce their puffing as their body adjusts, and can drop to 10mg or lower within a few months.

Do not mix strengths without care. If you want something between two strengths, you can combine a bottle of 20mg with a nicotine-free 50/50 shortfill base, but this should be done only if you understand the dilution maths and have clean equipment. For most people, buying the strength you need is simpler and safer.

Finally, the NHS and local stop-smoking services offer free advice, and vaping combined with behavioural support has been shown to help many people quit. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or take regular medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products.

Who Deliciu 20mg suits, and who should skip it

No single product suits everyone, and an honest buying guide needs to say so. Here is a plain breakdown of who is likely to be happy with a 20mg nic salt and who should look elsewhere.

Likely to suit you if you:

• Currently smoke regularly and want a way to stop, and have found lower strengths unsatisfying.
• Used disposables (since the ban, a common situation) and want a cheaper, refillable alternative with a similar strength.
• Prefer a discreet, pocketable device with a tight draw rather than a big cloud.
• Already own a pod kit or small refillable pen designed for nic salts.
• Like sweet or fruity flavours and want something that tastes pleasant rather than harsh.

Probably not for you if you:

• Have never smoked or used nicotine. This product is not for you, and the UK 18+ restriction exists for a reason.
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under 18 and to buy them on their behalf.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition, without medical advice first.
• Use a sub-ohm tank or high-wattage mod. The strength and base are wrong for that equipment.
• Want large clouds. A nic salt at 20mg will not produce them and should not be pushed to.
• Are already nicotine-sensitive, or find 12mg a struggle. Start lower instead.

There is also a middle group worth mentioning: dual users who still smoke occasionally. If you smoke a few cigarettes a week, 20mg is probably more than you need, and a lower-strength salt will be gentler. The aim of the product is to replace smoking, not to add to it, so honest self-assessment matters here.

A final point about expectations. A vape is not a magic fix, and some people try it and prefer other methods such as patches, gum or prescribed treatments. If you struggle after a few weeks, that is not a failure; speak to a local stop-smoking service, which can combine nicotine replacement with support and improves success rates considerably.

If you are buying for someone else, do not. Buying nicotine products for anyone under 18 is an offence, and a retailer that verifies age will ask the person receiving the parcel to prove it on delivery.

How to use Deliciu Nic Salt step by step

Using a nic salt bottle is straightforward, but a few careful steps will prevent leaks, burnt coils and wasted liquid. Follow this sequence the first time and it will become routine.

Work through the steps below in order.

• Step 1, check your device. Make sure it is intended for nic salts and that the coil or pod is fitted and in good condition. If it is a new pod, remove any protective film from the base.
• Step 2, wash your hands and clean the area. A dry, clean surface avoids drips on the electronic contacts.
• Step 3, open the pod's fill port. Most pods have a silicone plug you can lift or slide. Keep the pod upright.
• Step 4, fill gently. Squeeze the bottle slowly, aim the nozzle at the inner wall, and stop just below the maximum fill line. Do not overfill; flooding the airflow channel is the most common cause of leaks.
• Step 5, close the port firmly. Press the plug flat so there are no gaps.
• Step 6, let a new coil soak. Wait five to ten minutes before the first puff so the cotton is fully saturated.
• Step 7, start gently. Take two or three short, light puffs without pressing the button for long. Use a draw lasting two to three seconds rather than long, forceful pulls.
• Step 8, find your pace. Pause between puffs. Taking breaks lets the coil re-wet and avoids overheating, which protects flavour.

A good puffing technique for salts is a slow, mouth-to-lung draw. Hold the vapour briefly in your mouth, then inhale into your lungs and exhale gently. Inhaling directly in one big gulp wastes nicotine and can irritate the throat.

Stop vaping if you feel dizzy, sick or lightheaded. These are signs of too much nicotine, and the best response is to put the device down, drink some water and rest. If symptoms persist, seek medical help.

When you refill, empty the remaining liquid before changing flavour, or at least accept a short blend of tastes. For a complete flavour change, rinse the pod with warm water, dry it fully, then refill. Never refill a wet pod, because water in the system can cause spitting and poor performance.

Finally, always keep the bottle capped between refills, and keep the bottle and device in separate pockets from keys and coins, which can short out the contacts. A small habit like storing the cap-side up in a case adds months to the working life of the device.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with nic salt vaping come from a short list of causes, and nearly all are fixable at home. Here is a practical guide to what goes wrong and how to sort it out.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Most often a dry or worn coil. Make sure the pod has enough liquid, let it soak after refilling, and replace the coil if it has been in use for more than one to two weeks. Reduce power if your device allows it, and avoid chain-vaping.
• Weak or faded flavour. Flavour fatigue, a tired coil, or a flavour that is too delicate for the strength. Try a different flavour for a few days, replace the coil, or clean the contacts.
• Gurgling or spitting. Too much liquid or condensation in the airway. Remove the pod, tap out excess liquid on a tissue, and refill to a lower level next time. Spitting can also come from a damp coil, so let it rest.
• Leaking. Overfilling, a loose seal or a cracked pod. Clean the outside, check the fill plug is fully seated, and store the device upright. If the pod is cracked, replace it.
• Harsh throat hit. The strength may be too high for you, the power may be too high, or the airflow too tight. Step down to a lower strength or try a slightly more open draw.
• Device does not fire. Check the battery, make sure the pod is seated firmly, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth, and check whether the device is in lock mode. If it still fails, try another pod to see whether the device or the pod is at fault.
• Liquid tastes different from before. Old liquid exposed to heat, light or air can oxidise. Check the best-before date, store the bottle properly, and discard it if there is a strong chemical smell.
• Dizziness or nausea. Too much nicotine. Stop, rest and hydrate, and consider a lower strength.

A simple diagnostic routine saves time. If the vape suddenly performs poorly, swap the pod first, because that is the cheapest component. If the problem remains, clean the device contacts. If it still persists, then suspect the battery or the liquid.

Never try to open or repair a damaged battery. If the casing is swollen, hot, smoking or smelling of chemicals, move it to a safe non-flammable surface away from anything combustible, stop using it, and take it to a recycling point once it has cooled. Do not put it in household waste.

If you suspect a faulty bottle rather than a device issue, for example a bottle that arrives with a broken seal, leaks inside the packaging or has a defective nozzle, contact the shop as soon as possible with photographs. Reporting early gives you the best chance of a quick resolution under your consumer rights.

Value for money, longevity and honest comparisons

When judging value, it helps to compare cost per day rather than the price of the bottle in isolation. A 10ml bottle of nic salt typically costs a few pounds and, as described earlier, fills a 2ml pod about five times. For a moderate user, that can last from several days up to a couple of weeks depending on strength, power and habit. Compared with a pack of cigarettes, which costs well over ten pounds in the UK and lasts a day or two for a regular smoker, the saving over a month is substantial even after you account for the one-off cost of a device and the occasional replacement pod.

Compared with disposables, which are now banned from sale in the UK, a refillable setup is the clear economic winner. A single disposable once gave a fixed number of puffs for a fixed price. A refillable device plus bottles lets you control cost, reduces waste, and makes recycling far easier because you replace a pod or coil rather than throw away a whole battery.

To keep costs down:

• Match strength to need, rather than defaulting to 20mg. Using too much nicotine wastes liquid and money.
• Keep the power low. High wattage burns through liquid and coils much faster.
• Replace coils on schedule, because a tired coil wastes liquid by producing poor vapour.
• Buy multi-packs when a shop offers a bundle price, if you already know the flavour suits you.
• Store liquid properly so you never have to bin a bottle that has degraded.

It is only fair to compare Deliciu with the main alternatives. Other nic salt ranges at 20mg, from well-known UK brands, are available in similar 10ml bottles and are usually priced in the same bracket. The differences tend to come down to flavour quality, how the sweetness is balanced, and how much a given recipe gums up a coil. If you already have a favourite brand, there is no strong reason to abandon it. If you want to try something different, Deliciu is a reasonable choice for sweeter profiles, but we would not claim it outperforms every rival, because taste is personal and a good recipe from another maker can be just as satisfying.

Compared with freebase liquids, nic salt costs a little more per millilitre, but because you use less per day at low power, the running cost often evens out. Freebase makes sense for sub-ohm setups and people who want big vapour; salt makes sense for compact devices and people who want nicotine satisfaction with small puffs.

On environmental value, a bottle and a pod cost less in resources than a disposable, but only if you dispose of them correctly. Take empty bottles to household plastic recycling where accepted, and take devices, pods and batteries to a WEEE drop-off point.

Overall, this is a sensible, mainstream choice for adult smokers who want a straightforward 20mg nic salt for a compact refillable device. It does what the category promises, with no gimmicks, and its value depends mostly on choosing the right strength and looking after your equipment.
