Double Brew Nic Salts Grape Ice 10ml 20mg at a glance

Double Brew Nic Salts Grape Ice is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid at 20mg/ml (2% nicotine), released under the Double brand. It is a refill liquid rather than a ready-made device, so you pour it into a refillable pod, cartridge or small tank that you already own or buy separately. The flavour is a plain, easy-to-read combination: sweet purple grape on the inhale with a cooling, menthol-style finish on the exhale.

Nicotine salts, usually shortened to nic salts, are a form of nicotine bound to a mild acid such as benzoic acid. The result is a liquid with a lower pH than traditional freebase nicotine, and that matters at the strengths adult smokers tend to look for. A 20mg freebase liquid can feel sharp and scratchy at the back of the throat. A 20mg nic salt of the same headline strength usually feels rounder and gentler, which is the main reason the format took over small pod systems and why you see it used in almost every compact refillable kit sold in the UK today.

The key facts for this product are listed below. Always check the printed label on your own bottle for the exact batch information, ingredients and the VG/PG split, because those details are set by the manufacturer and can change between production runs.

• Bottle size: 10ml, the maximum container size allowed for nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml (2%), the maximum strength allowed for UK retail
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt
• Flavour: grape with an ice (cooling) finish
• Format: refill liquid for pod kits and small mouth-to-lung devices
• Base: nic salt liquids in this style are commonly balanced or PG-leaning; confirm the exact ratio on the label
• Age restriction: sold to adults aged 18 and over only

If you are new to refillable vaping, read the how-to-use and troubleshooting sections further down this page before your first fill. Most early frustrations, such as a leaking pod or a burnt taste, come from small filling and priming mistakes rather than from the liquid itself. This guide is written to answer those questions in advance, in plain language, so you can decide whether this particular bottle suits your device and your habits.

Flavour profile: what Grape Ice actually tastes like

Grape is one of the more divisive fruit flavours in vaping because there are two very different reference points. Some liquids recreate the candy-style purple grape of a fizzy drink or a boiled sweet, while others lean towards the fresher, slightly tart taste of eating green or red grapes straight from the bunch. Double Brew Grape Ice sits on the sweet, purple side of that spectrum. Expect a familiar confectionery grape rather than a sharp, wine-like tartness.

The tasting experience breaks down into three stages.

• Inhale: a sweet, juicy grape note arrives first, with a light fruit-syrup quality. The coolness is present but restrained on the draw, so the grape is not buried.
• Mid-palate: as the vapour settles, the sweetness rounds out and a mild cooling effect builds across the tongue and the roof of the mouth.
• Exhale: the ice element becomes most obvious here, giving a clean, crisp finish and a light tingle through the nose and throat. It fades fairly quickly rather than lingering for minutes.

The word ice in a flavour name generally means a menthol or cooling agent has been added to the fruit flavouring. It is not the same as a full mint or menthol e-liquid. In a well-balanced fruit and ice liquid, the cooling should lift the fruit and make it feel fresher without turning the whole bottle into a mint. If you dislike any cooling at all, a plain grape without ice would be a better pick, and if you want arctic-level chill, a dedicated menthol liquid will give you more.

Flavour perception changes with your device. In a tight, low-wattage pod the grape comes through fuller and the cooling feels sharper because the vapour is warmer and denser. In an airier setup the vapour is cooler by the time it reaches you, so the ice can feel milder and the sweetness more prominent. Many vapers also find that the sweetness is more noticeable in the first few draws on a fresh coil and settles slightly as the coil beds in over the first day.

One practical note: sweet fruit liquids tend to leave residue on coils faster than unsweetened flavours. That is not a flaw, it is simply chemistry, because sugars and sweeteners in flavourings caramelise on the coil surface over time. The troubleshooting section below explains how to manage this so the flavour stays clean from the first fill to the last, and why you should expect to swap coils a little more often with a sweet grape liquid than with a tobacco or plain menthol one.

Throat hit, vapour and puff delivery with 20mg nic salt

Performance with any e-liquid is a joint result of the liquid, the device and the way you draw. Double Brew Grape Ice is a nic salt designed for low-power mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, and that shapes both the throat hit and the amount of vapour you will see.

Throat hit. At 20mg/ml, the throat hit is noticeable but smooth. Smokers moving across often describe nic salts as closer to the feel of a cigarette than low-strength freebase liquids, because the nicotine arrives quickly without the harshness. The cooling element adds a second sensation on top, a crisp chill in the throat that some people read as extra hit even though it is a separate effect. If the combination feels too strong, the answer is a lower nicotine strength or a lower power setting, not simply taking shorter puffs.

Vapour production. Nic salt liquids are normally made with a balanced or PG-leaning base, which suits small coils and gives a tighter, more flavourful vapour. Expect modest clouds rather than the big plumes you get from sub-ohm tanks. That is by design. High-nicotine liquids are meant to be used in small amounts, and a restrained vapour output is part of what keeps the experience controlled rather than overwhelming.

Puff delivery and bottle life. Puff counts on an e-liquid bottle are always estimates, because they depend on wattage, coil resistance, draw length and how often you vape. As a planning figure, a typical MTL pod at around 10 to 15 watts uses roughly 5 to 10 milligrams of liquid per puff. On that basis a 10ml bottle gives somewhere in the region of 1,000 to 2,000 puffs. Light users who vape a few times an hour may stretch a bottle across a week or more, while heavier users who replace every cigarette may finish a bottle in three to five days. Treat these as rough guides rather than guarantees.

• Low power (8 to 12W): smoother, cooler vapour, longer bottle life, gentler throat hit
• Medium power (12 to 18W): fuller flavour, warmer vapour, stronger hit, faster liquid use
• Too high: harsh throat hit, dull or burnt flavour, wasted liquid and a shorter coil life

Consistency matters too. A liquid that is balanced for MTL tends to deliver the same taste from the first puff of the day to the last, provided the coil is fresh and the pod is kept topped up. If flavour drifts noticeably after a few days, the cause is almost always the coil rather than the liquid.

Choosing the right nicotine strength and the UK 20mg limit

UK rules cap the strength of nicotine e-liquid sold at retail at 20mg/ml (2%), limit refill bottles to 10ml, and limit the capacity of tanks and pods to 2ml. Those limits come from the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, and they apply to every nicotine e-liquid sold in Great Britain, including nic salts. This bottle sits at the legal ceiling for strength, which makes it the strongest nicotine option you can buy in the UK in this format. It is also worth knowing that single-use disposable vapes can no longer be supplied in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, so refillable systems and bottled liquids like this one are now the main route for adults who want a nic salt experience.

As a general guide only, and not as medical advice, strengths tend to line up with smoking habits as follows.

• 20mg/ml: often chosen by people who smoked around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who need a cigarette soon after waking, and who are using a low-power pod device
• 10 to 12mg/ml: often chosen by lighter or social smokers, or by people who find 20mg too harsh or too strong
• 3 to 6mg/ml: typically used by people cutting back further, or those using airier, higher-power devices

Starting too high is a more common mistake than starting too low. If you notice dizziness, nausea, headaches, a racing heart or a clammy feeling after vaping, you are taking in more nicotine than your body wants. Stop, take a break, drink some water, and move to a lower strength or a lower power setting. Never use a 20mg nic salt in a high-power sub-ohm tank, because those devices deliver far more liquid per puff and can push nicotine intake well beyond what the strength was designed for.

If you have never smoked, you should not start vaping. Nicotine is addictive. Vaping products are not a licensed medicine or a prescribed stop smoking aid, and you should talk to a pharmacist, GP or your local stop smoking service if you want support to quit nicotine completely. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or take regular medication, ask a healthcare professional before using any nicotine product.

Because this listing is a single, fixed 20mg strength, it works best for people who already know they want the top end. If you are unsure, consider buying a lower-strength bottle from the same range first, so you can step up if you need to rather than starting at the ceiling.

Bottle, packaging and build quality

With a liquid, build quality means the bottle, the cap, the nozzle and the label, because those determine whether the product is safe to store, easy to fill from and clear to read. Double Brew Nic Salts come in the standard UK 10ml format: a small squeezable plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal. Those features are required for nicotine products sold in the UK and are worth checking every time you open a new bottle.

• Tamper-evident ring: the ring around the cap should be intact when the bottle arrives. If it is broken or missing, contact the seller before use.
• Child-resistant cap: you will need to press down and turn, or squeeze and turn, depending on the design. This is deliberate, so do not remove or work around it.
• Narrow nozzle: a thin tip lets you aim into small pod fill ports without spilling. If your device has a very small port, a fine-tip bottle like this is much easier to use than a wide-mouth shortfill bottle.
• Label information: the label should show nicotine strength, ingredients, a health warning, batch number and a best-before date. Read it every time, since it is the authoritative source for your batch.

Squeeze gently when filling. A hard squeeze can force a rush of liquid into the pod and flood the air channel, which is the most common cause of leaks after a fill. Wipe the nozzle after use so residue does not collect on the thread, and close the cap fully until you feel it seat.

Storage. Keep the bottle upright, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and radiators. Heat and light break down flavourings and nicotine over time, darkening the liquid and flattening the taste. Stored well, most e-liquids stay in good condition until the printed best-before date. Nicotine e-liquid is poisonous if swallowed or absorbed through the skin in quantity, so store it well out of reach of children and pets, and wash any spills off your skin straight away with soap and water.

Recycling. Empty bottles can usually go in your household plastic recycling once they are fully empty, though local council rules differ, so check your own collection guidance. Old devices, pods with electronics and any batteries should never go in household bins. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer drop-off point that accepts small electrical items. Lithium batteries in general waste are a genuine fire risk for bin lorries and sorting plants.

Devices that suit this e-liquid: pod kits, coils and mesh

A nic salt at 20mg/ml is built for devices that deliver small, controlled amounts of vapour. The right match is a refillable pod kit or a compact refillable pod system designed for mouth-to-lung inhalation, usually with a coil resistance somewhere between about 0.6 and 1.2 ohms and a power range of around 8 to 20 watts. Most modern starter pod kits fall into this category.

Coil types. Two coil designs dominate the small-device market. Traditional round-wire coils are a spiral of resistance wire wrapped around a cotton wick. They are simple, low in power use and perfectly suitable for nic salts. Mesh coils use a flat or curved sheet of perforated metal with cotton or ceramic behind it. Because the mesh has a larger contact area, it heats up faster and more evenly, which tends to produce a rounder, more consistent flavour and a smoother draw. The trade-off is that mesh coils often use a little more power and can wear faster when paired with very sweet liquids, since the finer holes clog more easily with residue.

• 0.6 to 0.8 ohm: the sweet spot for many modern pod kits, offering a slightly airier draw and a fuller flavour at moderate power
• 0.8 to 1.2 ohm: a tighter, more cigarette-like draw, lower power use and longer bottle life
• Ceramic coils: clean flavour and good durability but can take a moment longer to saturate, so prime them carefully

What to avoid. Do not use this liquid in a sub-ohm tank running at high wattage. It is the wrong match for the nicotine level, and the thin PG-leaning base can leak from large airflow systems. Also avoid trying to refill pods that are sold as sealed, non-refillable cartridges. Those are not designed to be reopened, and tampering can cause leaks, poor coil performance and electrical faults. If you are not sure whether your pod can be refilled, check the manufacturer instructions, since the fill port is usually obvious and often marked with an arrow or a silicone plug.

Compatibility checklist. Before you buy, confirm that your device accepts liquid up to 20mg/ml, that the pod capacity does not exceed 2ml, and that the fill port will accept a fine-tip 10ml bottle. Nearly all current UK-market pod kits meet all three conditions, but it takes seconds to check, and it is worth doing before you open the bottle because opened e-liquid is generally not returnable.

Battery and charging for the device you use it with

E-liquid does not have a battery, so there is nothing to charge in the bottle itself. The battery that matters is the one in your pod device, and it has a direct effect on how this liquid tastes and performs. Most compact refillable pod kits use an internal lithium-ion battery in the region of 400 to 1,000mAh. At typical MTL power levels of 10 to 15 watts, that is usually enough for most of a day of moderate use, and a heavier user may top up once during the day.

Battery condition influences flavour more than many people realise. As a battery drains, voltage drops, so the coil may run cooler towards the end of a charge. You may notice thinner vapour, a duller grape note and a weaker cooling effect. Charging the device before it hits empty keeps the experience consistent from the first puff to the last. If you do not have a device with a charge indicator, get into the habit of topping up overnight or whenever it is convenient, rather than running it flat.

• Use the supplied cable. Most modern kits charge by USB-C at 5V. A standard phone charger or a USB port on a computer works, but avoid unbranded, damaged or very high-output chargers.
• Do not vape while charging. Pass-through use heats the battery and can cause malfunctions.
• Do not leave a device charging unattended for long periods. Charge it where you can see it, on a hard surface, never under a pillow or on a sofa.
• Keep batteries cool. Do not leave the device in a hot car or in direct sunlight.
• Keep it clear of keys and coins. Loose metal in a pocket can short the contacts.
• Stop using a swollen or damaged device. Take it to a battery recycling point and replace it.

At the end of its life, a vape device is electrical waste. Take it to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer that accepts small electrical items for recycling. Do not put it in household rubbish or in your kerbside recycling, where crushed lithium cells can spark and start fires in collection vehicles.

In practical terms, one 10ml bottle will outlast many battery charges. If you vape moderately and refill a 2ml pod once or twice a day, a full bottle covers about five to ten days, during which you will have recharged the device several times. Looking after the battery therefore matters just as much as choosing the liquid.

How to fill, prime and use a pod with Double Brew

A careful first fill makes the difference between a good experience and a gurgling, leaking, burnt-tasting one. These steps apply to most refillable pod kits, but always follow the manual that came with your device if it differs.

• Step 1, prepare. Wash and dry your hands, switch the device off if it has a lock function, and remove the pod. Check that the pod and coil are clean and that the coil is the right type for MTL use.
• Step 2, shake gently. Turn the bottle upside down a couple of times so the flavouring is evenly mixed, then open the cap.
• Step 3, fill. Open the silicone plug on the fill port. Place the nozzle against the side wall of the port, not directly on the central tube, and squeeze slowly. Stop at the maximum fill line or just below it. Leave a small air gap at the top. Overfilling is the leading cause of flooding and leaks.
• Step 4, seal. Push the silicone plug back fully, wipe off any liquid with a tissue, and close the bottle tightly.
• Step 5, prime. Slot the pod into the device and wait five to ten minutes. A new coil must be soaked through before it is fired. If you skip this, the cotton can scorch, giving a burnt taste that never fully goes away.
• Step 6, take priming draws. Take two or three gentle puffs without pressing the button, to pull liquid into the coil, then start at a low power setting and increase gradually.

Drawing technique. With a nic salt pod, take a slow, steady draw of around two to four seconds, holding the vapour in your mouth first and then inhaling it into the lungs. This is called mouth-to-lung vaping. Short, sharp pulls tend to underheat the coil and waste liquid, while very long ones can overheat it. Wait about 20 to 30 seconds between puffs, so the cotton has time to re-saturate.

Chain vaping. Because the nicotine is both strong and absorbed efficiently, avoid vaping continuously. Take a few puffs, put the device down, and see how you feel. Many people find that they need far fewer puffs per session with 20mg nic salt than they did with cigarettes.

Refilling. Top up when the level falls to about a third, not when the pod is empty. Letting a pod run dry is the most reliable way to burn out a coil. If you are switching to a different flavour, empty the pod and rinse it first, or the old taste will linger for days.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with a nic salt liquid are device or technique problems, not product faults. The checklist below covers the situations people ask about most often with sweet fruit and ice flavours.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Usually a dry or worn coil. Check that the pod has enough liquid, make sure the coil was primed, and lower the power. If the taste continues after a fresh fill, replace the coil. A burnt coil cannot be rescued.
• Weak or muted flavour. Often caused by coil gunk, particularly with sweet grape flavours. Replace the coil, and try a slightly lower power setting. Also check that the battery is charged, because a flat battery reduces flavour.
• Vaper's tongue. If the grape suddenly seems to disappear while the liquid is fine, your taste buds may be fatigued. Take a break, drink some water or have something with a strong flavour, and try again after a little while. Switching flavours now and then helps.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess condensation or liquid in the airflow. Tilt the pod and blow gently through the mouthpiece, wipe the mouthpiece, and avoid overfilling in future.
• Leaking from the pod. Check that the pod is seated properly, the fill plug is pushed in fully, the coil is correctly installed, and the liquid is not above the fill line. Hot environments and pressure changes, such as flights, can also make pods weep, so keep the device upright where you can.
• Dry hits. Usually caused by taking back-to-back puffs without letting the wick re-wet, or by a nearly empty pod. Slow down and refill.
• Cooling effect too strong or too faint. Cooling intensity is tied to temperature. Lower power gives a gentler chill, higher power lowers it as the vapour warms. If you want more or less ice than this bottle gives, a different flavour in the range may suit you better.
• Throat irritation. This can mean the nicotine strength or power is too high for you. Try a lower strength, lower wattage or a slower, shorter draw.
• Sticky residue on the device. Sweet liquids leave sticky film around the mouthpiece and contacts. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, never submerge the device, and let it dry fully before charging.

If you work through these steps and still believe the bottle itself is faulty, for example because the seal was broken on arrival, keep the packaging and contact the shop with your order number and photographs so the issue can be investigated.

Who Double Brew Grape Ice is for, and who should avoid it

Every nicotine product has an intended audience, and being honest about it is part of responsible retail. Double Brew Grape Ice 20mg is aimed at adult smokers who want a refillable alternative and who enjoy sweet fruit with a cool finish.

It is likely to suit you if:

• you are an adult smoker moving to a refillable pod kit and want a strength that is close to what you are used to
• you already use a mouth-to-lung pod device with a 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coil
• you like confectionery-style fruit flavours with a modest cooling effect
• you prefer a smooth throat hit over a harsh one
• you want a compact 10ml bottle that fits in a bag or pocket

You might want to look elsewhere if:

• You have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive and this product is not intended for non-smokers.
• You are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vapes to under-18s in the UK, and the shop will verify your age.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition. Speak to a healthcare professional first.
• You prefer large clouds. A nic salt in an MTL pod will not give you sub-ohm style vapour. A lower-strength freebase liquid in a sub-ohm tank is a different category.
• You dislike menthol or cooling agents. Choose a non-ice grape if one is available.
• You want a lower strength. This listing is fixed at 20mg/ml. Lighter users may find it too strong and should look at 10mg or below.
• You use a high-power device. The nicotine level and base ratio are not suited to it.

It is worth repeating that vaping is for adults who would otherwise smoke. Nicotine vapes are not harmless, and the long-term effects are still being studied. UK health bodies describe vaping as far less risky than smoking tobacco, but they are clear that non-smokers and young people should not take it up. Treat this liquid as a tool for adult smokers, not as a lifestyle product.

If you are trying to quit nicotine altogether, speak to your local stop smoking service. They can offer free behavioural support and licensed products, and they can talk through whether vaping fits your plan.

Value for money: what a 10ml bottle really costs you

Value is more than the sticker price, so it helps to break it down into cost per millilitre, cost per day, and the extra costs around the liquid. This section uses simple arithmetic you can repeat with the live price on the product page.

Cost per millilitre. Divide the bottle price by ten. That figure lets you compare this product against other 10ml nic salts, and against larger formats such as 50ml and 100ml shortfills, which are cheaper per millilitre but are sold without nicotine and need nicotine shots added. For a ready-to-use 20mg nic salt, a 10ml bottle is the standard purchase.

Cost per day. A moderate MTL user commonly goes through 1 to 3ml of liquid a day. At that rate a 10ml bottle lasts from roughly three days to a week or more. Multiply your daily millilitres by the cost per millilitre and you have a realistic daily running cost for the liquid.

Comparison with pre-filled devices. Single-use disposable vapes typically contained about 2ml of liquid. A single 10ml bottle holds the equivalent of five of them, and it goes into a device you keep, which creates much less electrical waste. Now that disposables can no longer be supplied in Great Britain, refillable kits are the practical alternative, and a bottle like this is the main running cost after the initial purchase of the device.

• Coils: budget for replacement coils or pods, which usually cost a few pounds per pack. With a sweet grape liquid you may swap a coil every one to two weeks.
• Device: a one-off cost. A decent refillable pod kit lasts months or years if the battery is cared for.
• Multi-buy offers: if you vape regularly, buying several bottles at once often brings the unit price down. Check the basket for bundle pricing.
• Waste: flooding, leaks and burnt coils all cost money. Good filling technique protects your wallet.

Compared with smoking, many adults who switch find their weekly spending falls, although that depends on how much they smoke and how much they vape. We do not make specific savings claims, because they vary from person to person. Do your own sums using your own habits, and you will quickly see whether the cost works for you. A fair way to judge it is to check the live price against other 10ml 20mg nic salts: if the cost per millilitre is in line with the rest of the category, the decision comes down to whether you like the flavour and the smooth hit.

How Double Brew compares with other grape ice and nic salt liquids

Choosing an e-liquid means weighing several established names against each other. The UK nic salt market includes well-known brands such as Elfliq, Nasty Salt, Hayati, IVG Salt and Dinner Lady, as well as many smaller labels. Each has strengths, and an honest comparison should say so rather than pretend one product wins on every measure.

Where Double Brew Grape Ice is a good fit. It is a straightforward, sweet grape-and-ice liquid at the maximum legal strength, in the standard 10ml size, aimed at adult smokers using pod kits. If that is exactly what you want, it does the job without fuss, and the flavour direction is easy to understand from the name.

Where other options may do better.

• Range of strengths. Several larger brands sell the same flavour in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. If you are unsure which strength you need, a brand with a wider spread gives you room to adjust. This particular listing is 20mg only.
• Brand recognition and reviews. Long-established labels often have years of user feedback, which can help you predict taste and consistency. A less familiar brand has a shorter track record, so read the reviews on the product page and start with one bottle.
• Flavour complexity. Some premium nic salts layer several notes, such as grape with berry or soda, and cost more because of it. Double Brew Grape Ice is closer to a clear single-fruit profile.
• Cooling intensity. Some competitors push the ice much harder for a very strong chill. If you want an arctic finish, you may find this one gentle.
• Pricing. Promotional pricing varies week to week across the market. It pays to compare cost per millilitre at the time you buy.

Compared with other formats. Shortfills in 50ml bottles are cheaper per millilitre and suit sub-ohm tanks, but you must add nicotine shots yourself and they are not meant for small MTL pods. Pre-filled closed pods are convenient and tidy, but they limit your flavour choice to the manufacturer's range and cost more over time. A 10ml bottle of nic salt sits between the two, giving flexibility with a ready-to-use strength.

The sensible approach is to try one bottle, judge it against your current liquid on flavour, throat hit and coil life, and keep notes. If it works, you can reorder with confidence. If it does not, you have lost only the price of a single 10ml bottle, and you will have learned what you prefer.
