Double Brew Nic Salts Cranberry Pomegranate & Cherry: Overview and Key Specifications

Double Brew Nic Salts Cranberry Pomegranate & Cherry is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid from the Double brand, made for refillable pod kits and other low-power vaping devices. The flavour is a three-fruit blend built around tart cranberry, tangy pomegranate and sweet cherry. It is sold at a single strength of 20mg/ml, which is 2% nicotine and the highest concentration allowed for vaping liquids in the UK.

This page walks through what you are actually buying in plain terms: what is in the bottle, how it behaves in different devices, what the flavour is likely to taste like, how to fill and look after it, and how it compares with other 10ml nic salt ranges. It is written for UK vapers, so everything below assumes UK rules, UK retailers and UK recycling options. Because it is e-liquid rather than a complete device, there is no puff counter or built-in battery to quote. Instead, we translate the bottle into numbers you can use: millilitres per day, puffs per millilitre, and how much nicotine you are putting into your pod.

Quick specifications

• Product type: nic salt e-liquid, ready to vape (not a shortfill and not a nicotine shot)
• Brand and range: Double, Double Brew nic salt range
• Bottle size: 10ml, the maximum bottle size for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml (2%), the UK maximum
• Total nicotine in the bottle: 200mg (10ml multiplied by 20mg/ml)
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt, formulated for smoother delivery at low power
• Flavour: cranberry, pomegranate and cherry
• Suited to: refillable pod systems and mouth-to-lung devices, typically with coils between 0.6 and 1.2 ohm
• Age restriction: 18 and over only, intended for adults who already smoke or vape

The exact VG/PG ratio is printed on the bottle label and we would rather you check that than rely on a figure quoted here. Nic salt ranges at this strength commonly use a balanced or PG-leaning base because it carries flavour and throat hit well in small pod coils, but the label is the authority for the batch you receive.

One legal point before going further. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and this product is only for adults. If you do not currently smoke or vape, this is not something to start with. If you are a smoker trying to switch, the NHS Stop Smoking Services in your area can pair a vape with free behavioural support, and that combination has a better track record than going it alone.

Flavour Profile: Cranberry, Pomegranate and Cherry

The name tells you most of what to expect: three fruits, one tart, one tangy and one sweet. Flavour perception varies from person to person, and we are describing the typical character of this kind of blend rather than claiming a laboratory-measured profile. The combination is a familiar one in fruit e-liquids and tends to behave in predictable ways.

Cranberry is the sharp edge of the mix. In vape flavourings it usually reads as a clean, slightly dry tartness, similar to unsweetened cranberry juice before sugar is added. Its job in the blend is to stop the whole thing turning syrupy.

Pomegranate sits in the middle. It brings a tangy, jammy character with a faint earthy depth, which helps the blend taste like a juice rather than a boiled sweet. Pomegranate also tends to carry through on the exhale, so you may notice it lingering after the cranberry has faded.

Cherry provides sweetness and body. Depending on how the flavouring is built it can lean towards fresh red cherry or towards cherry cordial. In a blend with two tart fruits it generally rounds the corners rather than dominating, so it should read as a sweet finish rather than a candy cherry hit.

What to expect across a single puff

• Inhale: tart red fruit with a little sweetness behind it
• Mid-draw: pomegranate tang and a juicy, rounded body
• Exhale: cherry sweetness and a lingering berry note
• Aftertaste: light and fruity, not creamy, not heavy and not sticky

This is not a dessert flavour and not a cooling one. There is no menthol or ice in the name, so do not expect a chilled exhale. If you like fruit with a cold finish, check the wider Double Brew range for an ice variant instead of assuming this one has it.

Temperature changes how the flavour comes across. A cooler vape from a low wattage setting tends to emphasise the cranberry and pomegranate tartness. A warmer vape pushes the cherry sweetness forward and thickens the body. If the first few puffs feel too sharp, raising the wattage a notch or two on an adjustable pod kit is the quickest way to soften it.

Fruit blends in this style are moderately sweet. That is worth knowing because sweeteners in the flavouring can build up on coils faster than in unsweetened or tobacco-style liquids. It does not mean a problem, only that you should expect to change coils on a steady schedule, which we cover later on.

Nic Salt Formulation and Throat Hit

Nicotine salts are made by combining nicotine with an acid, commonly benzoic acid, to lower the pH of the liquid. The practical effect is that the nicotine feels noticeably smoother in the throat at the same milligram strength. That is the reason UK nic salt ranges almost always sit at 10mg/ml or 20mg/ml, while traditional freebase liquids are usually sold at 3mg, 6mg or 12mg.

This distinction matters when you are choosing a strength. Twenty milligrams of freebase nicotine in a warm, high-power device would be harsh enough that most people would stop after a few puffs. Twenty milligrams of nicotine salt in a low-power pod is far more comfortable, because the lower pH and the lower airflow tame the throat hit. That does not make it weak. Nic salts are absorbed quickly, so the nicotine reaches you faster per puff than it would from a freebase liquid of the same number.

What that means for this bottle

• You get a medium throat hit rather than a sharp one, which suits a fruit blend where you want flavour first
• Nicotine satisfaction arrives early in the session, so many people take fewer, shorter puffs
• It is designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) or restricted direct-to-lung use, not for open airflow sub-ohm devices
• It is a poor match for high wattage, where you would take in more nicotine per puff than the formula intends

Think of 20mg nic salt as a concentrated product. A single 2ml pod filled with it holds 40mg of nicotine, and one full 10ml bottle holds 200mg. If you are coming from a freebase 3mg liquid in a sub-ohm tank, the jump is large and you should expect a different pattern of use: smaller puffs, less often, with much less vapour.

The VG/PG balance also shapes the experience. A higher PG share gives a firmer throat hit and sharper flavour definition, while a higher VG share gives thicker vapour and a smoother, slightly sweeter feel. Nic salt liquids for pod devices usually stay in the middle because the small coils need liquid thin enough to wick quickly. If you have used other 10ml nic salt bottles in a given pod kit without trouble, this one should wick comparably, but always confirm the ratio on the label.

Salt nicotine is subject to the same UK limits as any other vaping nicotine. The 20mg/ml cap and the 10ml bottle limit apply across the board, which is why you will see the same two numbers on nearly every nic salt label in a UK shop.

Performance and Puff Delivery

E-liquid does not have a puff count printed on it the way a complete device might, because the number depends entirely on what you put the liquid into. What we can do is give a realistic range and show you how to work out your own figure.

In a typical refillable pod kit running between 10 and 15 watts, one millilitre of liquid usually produces somewhere between 150 and 300 puffs, depending on how long you draw and how hot the coil runs. That puts a 10ml bottle at roughly 1,500 to 3,000 puffs. Treat these as planning estimates rather than guarantees, since shorter draws and lower wattage stretch the liquid further.

How long a bottle lasts in practice

• Light use (about 1ml a day): around 10 days
• Moderate use (about 2ml a day): around 5 days
• Heavy use (about 4ml a day): around 2 to 3 days, and a sign that you may want to reassess your strength or device

Because the strength is high, many people find their consumption settles lower than they expected. If you are getting through more than 3 to 4ml a day at 20mg, it can be worth checking whether your pod is overheating, whether your coil is worn, or whether you are chain vaping out of habit rather than need.

Vapour production from a pod device with a 0.8 to 1.2 ohm coil is modest. You will see a small, quickly dispersing cloud, which is usually an advantage for discreet use and for small spaces. If you want visible clouds, this is the wrong category of product, because nic salt at 20mg is not meant to be used at the airflow and power levels that make large clouds.

Flavour delivery is the other half of performance. With a three-fruit blend like this, the first draws after refilling can taste muted or slightly peppery while the cotton finishes saturating. Give the pod five to ten minutes after filling and take a couple of gentle priming puffs before you settle into normal use. Once the coil is wetted properly, flavour should be consistent from the first to the last millilitre in the pod.

Nicotine delivery is fast and fairly flat. Most people feel the effect within the first few puffs, and the sensation settles rather than spikes. If you notice dizziness, nausea or a light head, you are taking in more than you need and should slow your puffing rate or consider a lower strength next time.

Devices, Coils and Mesh Technology

This liquid is designed for refillable pod systems and low-power mouth-to-lung devices. The coil inside your pod or tank decides most of how the liquid behaves, so it is worth understanding the options before you pair it with a device.

Resistance and wattage guide

• 1.0 to 1.2 ohm: tight mouth-to-lung draw, typically 8 to 12 watts. Strongest throat hit and the longest liquid life.
• 0.8 ohm: slightly looser draw, typically 10 to 15 watts. A balanced starting point for most nic salt fruit liquids.
• 0.6 ohm: airier draw, typically 12 to 20 watts. More vapour and a warmer flavour, but higher nicotine intake per puff.
• Below 0.5 ohm (sub-ohm): not recommended for 20mg nic salt. The nicotine hit per puff becomes too high.

Always follow the wattage range printed on the coil or in the device manual. Running a coil below its stated range leaves it with an under-heated, wet feel, and running it above leads to burnt cotton.

Mesh versus round wire coils. Mesh coils use a flat woven sheet instead of a round wire, which spreads heat over a larger surface. In practice that gives more even vaporisation, faster ramp-up and fuller flavour from fruit liquids. Mesh coils also tend to give a little more vapour at the same wattage than a basic wound coil. Round wire coils, common in smaller or older pod systems, are simpler and often give a tighter, more restricted draw. Both work with this bottle. Mesh is usually the better choice if you value flavour, while a tight round coil suits those who want a firmer throat hit.

Pod capacity in UK devices is limited to 2ml by regulation, so a 10ml bottle fills about five pods. Closed, pre-filled pod systems use their own proprietary cartridges and cannot be refilled with this bottle, so check that your device is a refillable type before buying. Most refillable pods have a side or top fill port, usually sealed by a silicone plug.

Coil lifespan depends on your liquid and your usage. For sweeter fruit blends like this one, expect a coil to last roughly one to two weeks at moderate use. Warning signs include dull flavour, a faint burnt note, gurgling, or more heat than usual. Replacing the coil or the whole pod at that point restores the original flavour far more reliably than chasing it with higher wattage.

Auto-draw devices fire when you inhale, while button-activated ones fire when you press. For a 20mg nic salt either is fine, but button-activated devices make it easier to control the length of each puff, which helps you moderate nicotine intake.

Battery and Charging: What to Know for Your Device

The bottle itself has no battery, but the battery in your device has a direct effect on how this liquid performs. Pod kits suited to nic salts commonly use cells between about 500mAh and 1,000mAh, with USB-C charging on most current models. A few budget kits still use micro-USB.

A useful bit of arithmetic helps connect battery capacity to liquid use. A 1,000mAh lithium cell at a nominal 3.7 volts stores about 3.7 watt-hours. Running at 12 watts, that is roughly 18 minutes of continuous firing in theory. With three-second puffs and real-world losses, that works out to somewhere around 250 to 300 puffs per charge. At 150 to 300 puffs per millilitre, a single full charge is therefore good for about one to two millilitres of liquid. Those are estimates, but they explain why a typical pod kit needs a top-up daily for a moderate vaper.

Charging habits worth following

• Use the cable supplied with your device or a reputable replacement, and a standard 5 volt USB charger
• Do not charge unattended overnight or on soft furnishings such as sofas and beds
• Do not leave the device in a hot car or in direct sunlight
• Stop using any device with a swollen, dented or hot battery, or with damaged wrapping
• Charge before the battery is completely flat, since lithium cells age faster when regularly drained to zero

Lower wattage helps battery life as well as liquid life. Because 20mg nic salt works well at 10 to 15 watts, you will usually get a full day from a 700 to 1,000mAh kit, which is not the case for a sub-ohm setup running at 40 watts or more.

Recycling devices and batteries in the UK. Disposable vapes were banned from sale in Great Britain from 1 June 2025, so the refillable route this liquid belongs to is the standard one. Even so, batteries and old pod kits should never go in household bins or kerbside recycling, where crushed lithium cells are a real fire risk in collection lorries and recycling plants. Take them to a household waste recycling centre with a small electricals or vape drop-off point, or return them to a shop selling vaping products, as UK retailers are required to offer take-back for waste electrical equipment. Many large supermarkets and electrical retailers also host battery recycling bins.

Spent pods and coils are small items. Where your council does not collect them with other small electricals, the same drop-off locations usually accept them.

Bottle Design, Packaging and Build Quality

E-liquid does not have build quality in the sense that a device does, but the bottle and its packaging still matter for safety, convenience and shelf life. Nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK must come in a container that is child-resistant and tamper-evident, with a maximum capacity of 10ml. That is the format you should expect here: a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle and a secure cap.

What to check when your bottle arrives

• Tamper-evident seal: the ring on the cap should be intact before first opening
• Child-resistant cap: it should need a deliberate push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn to open
• Label: it should show the nicotine strength, the ingredient list, the health warning, the batch number and a best-before date
• Nozzle: the narrow tip is there to fit refill ports without drips, so check it is not cracked or blocked
• Bottle condition: flexible plastic should feel firm and clean, with no oily residue on the outside

All vaping products sold in the UK must be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) before going on sale, and a reputable retailer will only stock notified lines. If a bottle arrives with no batch number, no health warning or a damaged seal, do not use it, and contact the shop straight away.

Flexible bottles are designed to be squeezed gently to dispense liquid in small drops. Squeezing too hard forces liquid out in a rush, which is a common reason for overfilled pods and leaks. Squeeze slowly, with the bottle upright and the tip aligned with the fill port.

Storage. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or windowsills. Nicotine and flavourings both degrade with heat and light, which can darken the liquid and dull the taste. Store it out of sight and reach of children and pets. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed, and a fruit flavour is exactly the kind of thing a child or animal may be drawn to. If skin contact occurs, wash with soap and water.

Shelf life. Sealed and stored properly, nic salt liquids typically keep their flavour for around one to two years. A slight darkening over time is normal and usually only cosmetic, but if the taste turns noticeably flat or sour, replace the bottle.

Disposal. When the bottle is empty, replace the cap and check how your local council handles small plastic bottles. Some accept them with household plastics, others do not. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink or into soil.

Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength

This listing is the 20mg/ml version, so the real decision is whether 20mg is right for you or whether you should look at a lower strength elsewhere in the range. The following guide is general information, not medical advice.

Rough guidance for nic salt strengths

• 20mg/ml: usually suits adults who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who are moving from a 20mg disposable device and want the same level of satisfaction in a refillable pod
• 10mg/ml: usually suits lighter smokers, social smokers, or existing vapers who find 20mg too strong or too harsh
• Below 10mg/ml: usually suits those stepping down towards lower nicotine over time, or very light users

Most disposable vapes sold before the 2025 ban were set to the 20mg limit, which is why many people moving to refillable kits start on 20mg nic salt. The experience is not identical, though. A refillable pod usually has more controlled airflow and often a different wattage, so your own puffing habits will shift once you switch.

How to tell if the strength is wrong

• Too strong: dizziness, nausea, headaches, hiccups, a harsh scratchy throat, or a feeling of being jittery after a few puffs
• Too weak: nagging cravings within an hour, chain vaping, or smoking alongside your vape

If 20mg is too much, the clean fix is to buy a lower strength rather than diluting the bottle. Mixing nic salt with unflavoured base is possible, but it thins the flavour, and it makes your nicotine intake harder to track. A lower-strength bottle of the same flavour is more predictable.

Avoid 20mg nic salt in sub-ohm tanks, in high wattage mods or in any setup that produces big clouds. The amount of nicotine delivered per puff in those devices is much higher than the formulation is designed for, and it can cause nicotine overload.

People who are pregnant, who have heart conditions or high blood pressure, or who take regular medication should speak to a GP or pharmacist before using any nicotine product. If you do not currently use nicotine, you do not need it, and nothing about this product is aimed at you.

Finally, nic salt strength is not a target to stay at forever. Many vapers who switch from smoking taper down over a few months as their cravings ease. Keeping a note of how many millilitres you use per day is a simple way to see that trend and decide when to step down.

Who This E-Liquid Is For (and Who Should Skip It)

A fruit blend with tart edges and a sweet finish appeals to a fairly specific group of adult vapers. Being honest about who it suits saves you money and frustration.

It is a good fit if you:

• Currently smoke or vape nicotine and want a flavoured alternative to tobacco
• Use a refillable pod kit or a low-power mouth-to-lung device
• Like juicy red fruit flavours with a little tartness rather than candy sweetness
• Want something discreet with modest vapour and a smooth throat hit
• Are moving from a 20mg disposable and want the same strength in a refillable format
• Prefer to buy small 10ml bottles so you can switch flavours often

You should look elsewhere if you:

• Have never used nicotine. This is a nicotine product and is addictive
• Use a sub-ohm tank or a high-power mod. A freebase shortfill at 3mg or lower is the correct category
• Want a cooling or menthol finish. This flavour is not described as an ice variant
• Want a creamy, bakery or dessert flavour. This is a fruit juice style blend
• Need a nicotine-free option. Nic salts are only sold with nicotine, and you would need a 0mg liquid instead
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell or supply vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK

There is also a middle group worth mentioning. If you currently vape tobacco or menthol and are curious about fruit, a 10ml bottle is a low-risk way to try it. The 10ml size keeps the cost of experimenting down, and a bottle of a flavour you do not enjoy is a small loss rather than a large one.

For those who are using vaping to quit smoking, flavour variety is not a gimmick. Evidence from UK stop smoking services suggests that many people stay off cigarettes more successfully when they enjoy their vape and can rotate between a few flavours. Having a fruit option alongside a tobacco or menthol one is a reasonable approach.

Finally, think about how and where you vape. Fruit liquids are less pungent than many desserts or tobacco blends, so this one is relatively considerate around other people, though you should still follow venue rules and avoid vaping around children, pregnant women or in cars with passengers.

How to Fill, Prime and Use It

Using nic salt properly takes a few minutes to learn and makes a visible difference to flavour, leaks and coil life. These steps apply to nearly every refillable pod kit, but your device manual is the final word.

Filling a refillable pod

• Step 1: Switch the device off or remove the pod, and wash and dry your hands so no oils or dust get into the liquid.
• Step 2: Open the fill port by pulling out the silicone plug or sliding open the cover, depending on your pod.
• Step 3: Hold the bottle upright over the port, with the nozzle against the edge, and squeeze slowly. Avoid squeezing hard, which sends liquid rushing in.
• Step 4: Fill to the maximum line, or leave a small air gap at the top. Never cover the central airflow tube with liquid, since that causes leaks.
• Step 5: Close the port firmly, wipe off any spills, and clip the pod back into the device.
• Step 6: Wait five to ten minutes for the cotton to absorb liquid before the first puff.

Vaping technique. Nic salt works best with a slow, gentle mouth-to-lung draw: hold the vapour in your mouth for a second, then inhale to your lungs. A slow draw of two to four seconds is plenty. Long, hard drags overheat the coil and increase nicotine intake. If your device has adjustable airflow, start with it more closed for a tighter draw and open it slightly if the vape feels warm or harsh.

Pacing yourself. Take a few puffs, wait a minute or two, and see how you feel before continuing. The temptation with a fast-acting nic salt is to keep going, especially if you are transitioning from smoking. If you find yourself reaching for the device constantly, the strength may be too low for you, or you may be vaping out of habit rather than craving. Either way, spacing out your puffs gives you better information.

Between sessions

• Keep the device upright when not in use, or at least with the mouthpiece pointing up
• Do not leave it somewhere hot, such as a dashboard or radiator
• Wipe the mouthpiece occasionally with a dry tissue
• Rinse the pod with warm water and let it dry fully before switching flavours

When changing between this liquid and another flavour, replace the coil or the pod if you can. Old flavour residues linger in the cotton, and a fresh coil gives a cleaner taste. Never combine two different flavours or two different strengths in the same pod, because the result is usually muddy and can make nicotine intake difficult to judge.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with a nic salt in a pod kit come down to a handful of causes: worn coils, overfilling, wrong wattage, or a pod that has not been primed. Here are the most common symptoms and what usually fixes them.

Leaking or sticky residue

• You have probably overfilled the pod. Fill to the line only, and keep the central tube clear.
• Check the silicone plug is fully seated, since a half-closed port is a frequent cause.
• Check the pod for hairline cracks, particularly if it has been dropped.
• Do not leave the device lying on its side for hours, and avoid flying or hot environments with a full pod.

Gurgling or spitting. This is excess liquid in the airway. Remove the pod, tap it gently on a tissue, and blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it. If it keeps happening, the coil may be flooded, and a new pod or coil usually resolves it.

Burnt or acrid taste. This points to a dry or scorched coil, not the liquid itself. Causes include chain vaping, vaping before the cotton has been primed, running too much power, or an old coil. Replace the coil or the pod. Do not keep vaping on a burnt coil, since it is unpleasant and offers no benefit.

Weak or muted flavour. Two likely reasons. The coil may be at end of life, which is common after one to two weeks with sweeter liquids. Alternatively you may have vape tongue, a temporary loss of flavour sensitivity. Take a day off that flavour, switch to a different type or drink some water and eat something sharp, then try again. A new coil is the more reliable fix.

Dry hits. A harsh, hot puff with little vapour means the cotton is not being fed fast enough. Make sure the pod has liquid, allow priming time, take shorter and gentler draws, and lower the wattage slightly.

Throat too harsh or head spinning. That is a sign of too much nicotine at once. Lengthen the gaps between puffs, lower the wattage, open the airflow a little, or move to a 10mg bottle.

Pod will not fill or liquid does not flow. An air lock can form when you fill too fast. Squeeze more slowly, and tilt the pod slightly so air can escape as liquid goes in.

Device flashes or cuts out. Usually a short circuit or low battery. Clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud, check the pod is seated, and charge the device. If it persists, contact the device maker rather than the liquid supplier.

Value for Money and How It Compares

The simplest way to judge e-liquid value is cost per millilitre and how long a millilitre lasts you. Divide the price of the bottle by ten to get the cost per millilitre, then multiply by the number of millilitres you use per day. For illustration only, a bottle priced at five pounds works out at 50p per millilitre, so a moderate vaper using two millilitres a day would spend about one pound a day. Use the live price on the product page rather than any number quoted here, since category pricing moves with tax and supply costs.

Nic salt is not the cheapest way to vape per millilitre. Freebase shortfills in 50ml or 100ml bottles usually cost less per millilitre, but they need nicotine shots added, they suit a different style of device, and they are bulky to carry. For people using pod kits, a 10ml nic salt bottle is the sensible format because it is compact, ready to vape, and matched to the device.

How it compares with other 10ml nic salt ranges

• Elfliq by Elf Bar: a widely stocked range with a large flavour list, often including ice variants. If you want a cooling finish, it has more options in that direction.
• IVG Salts: an established UK range with a long flavour list, often including some tobacco and dessert choices that this fruit-only blend does not offer.
• Pod Salt: a long-running brand with many strength options. It is a reasonable alternative if you want more control over nicotine level.
• Nasty Salt and similar: tends to be positioned towards bolder, more intense profiles. Better if you want a stronger flavour hit, though that can be less balanced.

Where Double Brew Cranberry Pomegranate & Cherry fits in is straightforward. It is a focused fruit blend with a tart-sweet profile at the maximum UK strength, in the standard 10ml bottle. It does not try to be a dessert, a cooling blend or a tobacco substitute. For vapers who know they like red fruit, that clarity is a benefit. For vapers who want maximum variety within a single brand, a wider range may be a better choice.

Honest limits. This listing is for one strength and one bottle size, so if you want a lower strength or a larger quantity, you will need to buy something else. Because individual flavour preference is personal, a bottle you do not enjoy has no refund implication beyond the shop policy, so consider trying one bottle before stocking up.

Practical ways to save. Buy multi-packs where the shop offers them, keep the device at a lower wattage so each millilitre lasts longer, change coils on time so you are not wasting liquid on a failing one, and avoid chain vaping. All of these reduce your cost per day more than shopping around for a few pence off a bottle.
