Double Brew Nic Salts Double Apple Ice 10ml 20mg at a Glance

Double Brew Nic Salts Double Apple Ice is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid at 20mg/ml, made for refillable pod kits and other low-power mouth-to-lung devices. The flavour pairs an apple profile with a cooling finish, which places it in the fruit-and-ice corner of the nic salt market, the corner that many adults moving away from cigarettes tend to settle in. If you want a familiar orchard-style flavour that finishes cool and clean rather than sweet and heavy, this is the kind of bottle you would reach for.

This page is a plain explainer for UK buyers. It covers what is in the bottle, how it behaves in different hardware, how nicotine strength changes the experience, what to do when something goes wrong, and how it compares with other 10ml salts you might be weighing up. It also covers who should look elsewhere, because a 20mg/ml liquid is not the right choice for everyone, and an honest page should say so.

A few basics before the detail:

• Format: a 10ml bottle of nic salt e-liquid, which is the largest bottle size UK rules allow for any liquid containing nicotine.
• Strength: 20mg/ml, equal to 2% nicotine and the highest strength that can lawfully be sold in the UK.
• Flavour: Double Apple Ice, an apple-led fruit flavour with a cooling finish.
• Best used in: refillable pod systems and low-wattage mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices.
• Not suited to: sub-ohm tanks, high-wattage kits, or anyone who does not already use nicotine.
• Age restriction: sold strictly to adults aged 18 or over.

It is worth being clear about one thing at the start. This is a refillable liquid, not a single-use product. Since the ban on single-use vapes came into force in June 2025, refillable kits and bottled liquid have become the standard route for adult vapers in the UK, and a 10ml bottle like this one is the fuel for that kind of setup. You need a compatible device already, or you need to buy one alongside the liquid.

Specifications and What They Mean in Practice

Specification lists are only useful when you know how to read them, so here is the data for this bottle, followed by what each line means for day-to-day vaping.

• Product: Double Brew Nic Salts, Double Apple Ice flavour.
• Bottle size: 10ml, supplied in a small plastic dropper-tip bottle with a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap.
• Nicotine type and strength: nicotine salt, 20mg/ml (2%).
• Total nicotine in the bottle: 200mg, which is 10ml multiplied by 20mg/ml.
• Typical base ratio: nic salt liquids of this style are usually balanced or PG-leaning, commonly around 50VG/50PG. Always check the exact ratio printed on the label of the bottle you receive, because we do not want you relying on a number that may differ between batches.
• Intended hardware: refillable pod kits and low-power MTL devices.
• Flavour family: fruit with a cooling note.

The strength figure deserves a closer look. Milligrams per millilitre describes concentration, not the total you take in per puff. At 20mg/ml, every millilitre of liquid carries 20mg of nicotine, so a 2ml pod filled from this bottle holds about 40mg. How much of that you actually absorb depends on how often you puff, how long each draw lasts and how hard your device heats the liquid.

The nicotine salt part matters too. Salt-based nicotine is paired with an acid in the liquid, which lowers the harshness at the back of the throat compared with traditional freebase nicotine at the same strength. That is why salts dominate the pod-kit world: you can use a strong liquid in a small, low-power device without the sharp scratch that freebase would produce. The trade-off is that the nicotine arrives quickly, so 20mg salts can feel stronger than the number suggests if you are used to freebase.

The 10ml size is a legal ceiling rather than a marketing choice. UK rules cap nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and refillable pod or tank capacity at 2ml. That is why you will see five-to-one math in this category: one bottle fills a typical pod around five times.

Flavour Profile: Reading Double Apple and Ice

The name combines two ideas, so it helps to take them one at a time.

Double Apple. This phrase has a long history in flavour naming. In shisha and hookah circles it often points to a sweet apple with a gentle aniseed edge. In e-liquid it is used more loosely, and some makers mean two apple varieties layered together, typically a sweeter red apple with a sharper green one. The brand does not publish a note-by-note recipe on the bottle, so we will not claim to know exactly which version you are getting. What we can say is how liquids in this style generally behave: the apple note leads on the inhale, it has a juicy, rounded character rather than a sour one, and it carries through to the exhale without turning perfumed.

Ice. In e-liquid this word almost always means a cooling agent has been added. It is not a menthol flavour in the minty sense. It is a sensation that registers as cold on the tongue and the back of the throat, and it tends to sharpen the way fruit tastes. Apple works well with it because the fruit already has a crisp, slightly acidic character that cooling brings forward.

Here is what to expect across a typical session:

• Inhale: fresh apple, light sweetness, the first hint of coolness.
• Exhale: the cooling effect builds and lingers, with the apple flavour sitting underneath it.
• Aftertaste: clean and slightly dry, without the sticky sweetness that dessert flavours leave behind.

Be aware of the limits. If you are chasing a sharp, sour Granny Smith bite, a cooled apple like this one will taste softer than that. If you want a bakery or candy sweetness, other flavours in the same range, such as Apple Muffin, suit that taste better. If you want to add a tart angle to apple, a blend such as Apple and Rhubarb from the same brand is the closer match.

Two practical notes on how the flavour changes with how you use it. Higher wattage warms the vapour and reduces how cold the ice note feels, so if you find it too icy, nudge the power up slightly or take shorter draws. If you find it too faint, drop the power rather than raising it, since overheating flattens fruit flavours quickly. And like all fruit-and-ice liquids, it can lose its edge if you vape it continuously for days. This is often called vaper's tongue, and a day or two with a different flavour usually restores it.

Performance and Puff Delivery from a 10ml Bottle

Because this is a liquid and not a device, performance is a shared job between the bottle and your hardware. The fairest way to talk about puff delivery is as an estimate with the assumptions spelled out.

As a rough guide, a low-power pod kit uses somewhere between 0.003ml and 0.007ml of liquid per puff, depending on draw length, coil type and wattage. That works out to roughly 150 to 300 puffs per millilitre, or around 1,500 to 3,000 puffs from a full 10ml bottle. Treat those numbers as a range, not a promise. A person who takes short, gentle draws on a restricted pod will land at the top of the range. A person who takes long pulls on an open airflow setting at higher power will land at the bottom.

In calendar terms, most adults who vape moderately get between three and ten days from a 10ml bottle. Heavy users who vape continuously through the day can finish one in two or three days. Light, occasional users sometimes stretch a bottle to a few weeks, although liquid does degrade slowly once the bottle is opened, so freshness becomes the limit rather than volume.

Throat hit and nicotine delivery are the other half of performance:

• Throat hit: a smooth, moderate hit that is gentler than freebase at the same strength but still clearly present at 20mg/ml.
• Vapour production: modest, as you would expect from a PG-leaning salt in a small coil. This is not a cloud-chasing liquid.
• Nicotine delivery: quick. Salts absorb fast, so a few puffs can satisfy a craving that a freebase liquid would take longer to settle.

That speed is worth planning around. Many first-time salt users vape as they would a freebase and end up taking in more than they intended. If you are new to 20mg/ml salts, take small puffs, wait a minute between them, and see how you feel before settling into a rhythm.

Finally, a note on consistency. A good liquid should taste the same from the first fill to the last drop in the bottle. If you notice the flavour changing noticeably, that is more likely to point at a tired coil or a dirty pod than at the liquid itself, which is covered in the troubleshooting section below.

Bottle Design, Packaging and Build Quality

With a liquid, build quality means the bottle, the cap, the label and the way it arrives. These details are less glamorous than a device spec sheet, but they decide whether you have a clean, leak-free experience.

The bottle is a 10ml plastic dropper-style container with a narrow tip. That tip is not an accident. It lets you fill small pod ports precisely without flooding the airflow channel, which is the most common cause of leaks and gurgling. The cap is child-resistant and tamper-evident, with a seal that breaks when the bottle is first opened. Both features are required for nicotine-containing liquids sold in the UK, and both are worth checking when your parcel arrives.

What to look for on the label:

• Nicotine warning: a prominent statement that the product contains nicotine, which is highly addictive.
• Ingredients list: the base ingredients and nicotine content in a clear format.
• Strength and volume: 20mg/ml and 10ml should match what you ordered.
• Batch or lot information: a code that lets the maker and retailer trace the product if there is ever a problem.
• Contact details: a way to reach the supplier.

If any of these are missing, or the seal is already broken, contact us before using it. Genuine stock should arrive complete.

On storage, keep the bottle upright, capped tightly, away from direct sunlight and heat, and out of reach of children and pets. Light and warmth speed up the breakdown of both flavour and nicotine, and a bottle left on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car will taste flat and look darker within a short time. A cool drawer is better than a coat pocket.

One build quality point where honesty matters: thin plastic bottles can squeeze-leak if you grip them hard while filling. Hold the bottle at the shoulder, not the body, and tilt it slowly. A little care here avoids sticky fingers and wasted liquid.

Battery and Charging: Choosing a Device That Suits This Liquid

A bottle of liquid has no battery, so this section is about the hardware you will use it with. Getting that pairing right is a large part of enjoying a 20mg salt.

Refillable pod kits that suit nic salts typically carry batteries in the region of 400mAh to 1,000mAh. That is not a spec of this product, only a general range for the device category. Smaller pen-style kits sit at the lower end and are meant for light daily use. Larger kits, sometimes with an adjustable power dial, sit at the upper end and will run a full day for most adults.

Because a 20mg salt works best at low power, battery drain is gentle compared with sub-ohm vaping. A moderate user often gets a day or more from a charge on a mid-sized pod kit, although this varies a lot with the device and your habits.

Charging basics that apply to nearly every modern kit:

• Port and cable: most use USB-C. Use the cable supplied, or a reputable replacement, not an unbranded one of unknown quality.
• Charger: a standard phone-style USB adaptor is fine. Avoid very high-output fast chargers unless the device maker says they are supported.
• Time: small pod kits typically charge in somewhere between 45 minutes and two hours. Larger batteries take longer.
• Supervision: avoid charging overnight on a soft surface or under a pillow. Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface where you can see it.
• Heat: if a device becomes hot while charging, unplug it and do not use it again until you have checked it.

Battery safety also covers pocket habits. Do not carry a vape loose with keys or coins, which can contact the metal and short the battery. Do not use a device with a dented, swollen or cracked body.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in a household bin. Batteries in general waste cause fires in collection vehicles and recycling plants. In the UK, devices that contain batteries should go to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer take-back point, and vape retailers that sell devices are generally required to accept old ones. The empty liquid bottles are plastic and can usually be rinsed and placed in plastic recycling, though it is worth confirming with your local council, since small bottles are not accepted in every area.

Coil and Mesh Technology: Matching Resistance to a 20mg Salt

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and the wrong coil can make an otherwise good liquid unpleasant. For a 20mg nic salt like this one, the target is a coil that heats gently and evenly.

Resistance. Coils are rated in ohms. Higher resistance means less current, less heat and a smaller amount of liquid vaporised per puff. For salts used in MTL pods, resistance in the region of 0.8 to 1.4 ohm is the common range, running at roughly 8W to 18W, although you should always follow what your device maker specifies. Going much lower in resistance and much higher in power turns a salt harsh, very quickly.

Coil types. There are three you are likely to meet:

• Standard wire coils: a simple wound wire wrapped around cotton. Reliable and widely available, with a straightforward flavour.
• Mesh coils: a flat mesh of metal with a larger heating surface. They heat more evenly, which usually gives fuller flavour and fewer hot spots. They also use liquid slightly faster.
• Ceramic coils: a porous ceramic heating element. They have a clean taste and last a good while, but they are less common in refill pods.

For a fruit-and-ice flavour like this one, mesh and standard wire both work well. Mesh tends to make the apple note rounder and the cooling more even. Standard wire gives a cleaner, slightly lighter taste that some people prefer with ice flavours.

Coil life. Sweet and fruity liquids leave a film of residue on the coil as they vaporise. Expect a coil to last somewhere between one and three weeks with regular use, and a little less with this type of flavour. When the taste turns burnt, flat or oddly muted, swap the coil or the pod. Cleaning does not fix a coil that has darkened.

Priming. A new coil needs to be saturated before the first puff, or the dry cotton will scorch instantly. Fill the pod, wait five to ten minutes, then take a couple of draws without pressing the fire button before vaping normally. Skipping this step is the most common reason a fresh coil tastes awful.

Finally, do not put this liquid in a sub-ohm tank. Those tanks are designed for 3mg or 6mg freebase at high wattage, and a 20mg salt at that power would be overwhelming and wasteful.

Nicotine Strength Guidance: Is 20mg/ml Right for You?

Strength is the single most important decision for a nic salt purchase, and it is the one that people get wrong most often. This listing is the 20mg/ml version of the product, which is the maximum strength allowed in the UK.

As a general rule of thumb, 20mg/ml is aimed at adults who currently smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who have found that lower-strength liquids leave them reaching for a cigarette. For these users, a strong salt delivers nicotine at a pace that can feel familiar. We are not making any claims about outcomes here, only describing how people choose strengths.

Here is a simple way to frame the decision:

• Heavy smoker (about ten or more a day): 20mg/ml is the usual starting point.
• Moderate smoker (about five to ten a day): consider 10mg/ml to 12mg/ml first, and move up only if it does not satisfy.
• Light or social smoker: 5mg/ml to 10mg/ml is typically enough.
• Never smoked, or ex-smoker without nicotine use: do not start on nicotine. Vaping is for adults who already use nicotine.

If you are unsure, it is easier to go down a strength than to recover from taking too much. Signs that a strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, a racing pulse, headaches, a harsh burning throat, or hiccups. If you notice any of these, stop, put the device down, and have some water. Do not go straight back to it.

A few other points on strength:

• Mixing to dilute: some people blend a strong salt with an unflavoured nicotine-free base to lower the effective strength. It does lower the nicotine, but it also thins the flavour and makes the result less predictable. Buying the right strength to begin with is simpler.
• Your device matters: a 20mg salt in a low-power pod is smooth. The same liquid in a higher-power setup is harsh and uses up the bottle much faster.
• Medical situations: if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a heart condition or other health concern, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using any nicotine product.

Remember that nicotine is addictive. Choose a strength that fits your existing use, and do not escalate beyond what you need.

Who Double Apple Ice Is For, and Who Should Skip It

Not every liquid suits every adult, and a good buying decision starts with an honest look at who the product is made for.

This bottle is a good match if you:

• already use a refillable pod kit or a low-power MTL device and want a dependable fruit flavour for it;
• currently smoke and are looking for a 20mg/ml salt to use instead of cigarettes;
• prefer fruit-and-ice flavours over sweet desserts, creams and candy;
• want a liquid with a clean aftertaste that does not leave a coating in your mouth;
• are comfortable filling a pod yourself and want to keep your running costs lower than a single-use style product.

You should probably look elsewhere if you:

• have never used nicotine. A 20mg/ml liquid is not an introduction to anything;
• want big clouds. This is a low-power, MTL-style liquid and produces modest vapour;
• use a sub-ohm tank or high-wattage mod, where this liquid would be harsh and wasteful;
• dislike cooling sensations. Ice flavours are noticeably cold, and no amount of tweaking will remove that completely;
• want an intensely sour or tart apple. The flavour here leans rounded, so a sharper profile would suit you better;
• are under 18. These products are sold to adults only.

There is also a middle group worth naming: current vapers who already use a 10mg/ml salt and wonder whether to step up. If you find yourself puffing constantly or vaping more than you want to, going up to 20mg/ml may reduce how often you vape, but it also raises the nicotine hit each time. That is a personal call. If you do try it, give it a few days and pay attention to how you feel.

For people who simply want variety, the Double Brew range includes several other 10ml 20mg flavours, including Apple Muffin, Banana Ice, Blue Razz Lemonade, Blue Slush Ice, Candy Cherry Ice and Caramel Frappe. Having two or three flavours on rotation is a sensible way to avoid flavour fatigue, and a cooled apple like this one pairs well with a sweeter second bottle.

How to Fill and Use Double Brew Double Apple Ice

Filling a pod is simple once you have done it a few times, but a few steps are worth getting right from the beginning. Always follow your device manufacturer's instructions first, since pod designs vary. The steps below describe the general approach for a typical refillable pod.

• Step 1, prepare: wash and dry your hands, switch the device off, and remove the pod. Work over a table or a surface you do not mind getting a drop on.
• Step 2, open the port: find the fill port, usually a small rubber bung or a sliding cover on the side or base of the pod.
• Step 3, fill carefully: hold the bottle upright over the port and squeeze gently. Stop below the maximum line. Never overfill, and avoid dripping onto the central airflow tube, which is what causes leaks and spitback.
• Step 4, close up: push the bung back in fully, or close the cover, and wipe any spilled liquid from the outside of the pod.
• Step 5, let it soak: reseat the pod in the device and wait five to ten minutes so the cotton can absorb the liquid evenly.
• Step 6, prime: take two or three short draws without pressing the fire button, then begin vaping normally.
• Step 7, start gently: take short, slow draws for the first few puffs, especially with a new coil or a new strength.

In use, the technique for MTL vaping is to draw slowly into your mouth first, like sipping through a straw, then inhale into the lungs. Short draws of two to three seconds work well. Long, hard pulls on a low-power device just starve the coil and cause a dry, hot taste.

Some habits that keep the experience pleasant:

• Top up before the pod runs completely dry, since a dry coil burns quickly.
• Keep the bottle capped between fills and store it upright.
• Do not mix two different liquids in one pod unless you are happy to taste the result, and rinse the pod when changing flavour.
• Replace the coil or pod when the flavour weakens, not after it has become unpleasant.

When changing from another flavour to this one, empty the pod and rinse it with lukewarm water, then let it dry fully before refilling. Leftover residue from a sweeter or creamier liquid will otherwise muddy the apple note.

Troubleshooting: Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Most problems that people blame on a liquid are really problems with the coil, the fill level or the way the device is being used. This list covers the situations we are asked about most often.

• Burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry or worn-out coil. Check that the pod has liquid above the wick, let it soak for several minutes, and take shorter draws. If the burnt taste persists, replace the coil or pod.
• Flavour seems weak or flat: this is often vaper's tongue, which comes from vaping the same flavour continuously. Try a different flavour for a day. It can also mean the coil is tired, or that your power setting is too high.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the pod or in the airflow channel. Take the pod out, wipe the mouthpiece and the airflow tube, and let it settle. Fill less next time.
• Leaking from the device: check that the bung is fully seated and the pod is correctly fitted. Leaks are common in warm conditions and at altitude, such as on a flight, so keep the pod mostly empty when travelling.
• Too harsh in the throat: 20mg/ml is the strongest legal strength. Lower your power, shorten the draw, or consider a lower-strength bottle.
• Too cold: reduce the cooling sensation by raising the power slightly, which warms the vapour, or by switching to a non-ice flavour for a break.
• Nothing happening when you draw: the battery may be flat, the pod may be loose, or the airflow sensor may be blocked by liquid. Charge the device, reseat the pod and clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud.
• Liquid on your fingers or the bottle sticky: wipe the bottle and cap after every fill, and wash your hands. Liquid containing nicotine should not stay on your skin.
• Liquid has darkened: a mild colour shift over weeks is normal for nic salts and does not always mean it has spoiled. A strong change in smell or taste, or any cloudiness, is a reason to stop using it.

If you have spilled or swallowed liquid, or it has got on the skin or in the eyes, treat it seriously. Wash skin with soap and water, rinse eyes with clean water, and seek medical advice. In the UK you can call NHS 111 for guidance, or 999 in an emergency. Keep the bottle and its label to hand, as the staff will want the product details.

If you have tried the fixes above and the problem is the liquid itself, such as a bottle that arrived damaged, mislabelled or visibly different from your last one, get in touch with your order number and a photo and we will look into it.

Value for Money and How It Compares with Other 10ml Nic Salts

Value is more than the sticker price on a 10ml bottle. The sensible way to judge it is by cost per day, which depends on how long a bottle lasts for you.

Here is a method you can apply to any liquid. Take the bottle price, divide it by the number of days it lasts, and compare that with what you spend on cigarettes or on single-use products. A bottle that costs a few pounds and lasts a week works out at well under a pound a day. Moderate vapers using a refillable kit commonly find this is a fraction of the daily cost of smoking. The device is a one-off cost, and coils or pods add a small recurring cost on top.

Where does this bottle sit in the market? There are several well-known 10ml 20mg nic salt lines in the UK, including Elf Liq, Pod Salt, BarSalts, IVG Salts and Hayati-style salt ranges. All sell in the same format and the same legal strength, so the comparison comes down to taste, range and price. We have not run a lab test of every competing bottle, so treat the following as general positioning rather than measured fact:

• Against Elf Liq: Elf Liq has built a very large flavour list and strong name recognition. Double Brew has a smaller list, but there is plenty of choice in the fruit-and-ice area.
• Against Pod Salt: Pod Salt offers several strengths across many flavours, which suits people who want to step down gradually. If you specifically want a different strength, check whether this listing or another product offers it.
• Against BarSalts and IVG Salts: both are widely stocked and have a loyal following. Flavour direction is similar, so it is largely a taste preference.
• Against single-use products: single-use vapes are no longer legal to sell in the UK. Refillable liquid is both the legal route and usually the cheaper one per puff, once you own a device.

What this bottle does well: a clear fruit flavour, a clean cooling finish, a sensible 10ml size and the maximum legal strength for people who need it. Where it is less strong: it does not offer the very wide flavour list of the biggest names, and 20mg/ml is not suitable for lighter users who need a gentler option.

When you buy from us, there are a few practical points. We sell strictly to adults aged 18 or over. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same working day, and every product is 100% genuine stock. If a multibuy offer is shown on the product page, factor it in when comparing cost per bottle.

As a closing check before you order, make sure your device is refillable, that its coil resistance sits in the range suggested earlier, and that 20mg/ml is the right strength for you. If all three are yes, this is a straightforward liquid to run. If any of them is a no, it is worth pausing and picking a better fit instead.
