Double Brew Nic Salts Lemon Ice 10ml 20mg: Overview

Double Brew Nic Salts Lemon Ice is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid sold at 20mg/ml (2%) nicotine strength. It is a refill liquid rather than a ready-to-use device, which means you pour it into a compatible pod kit, pod mod or other low-power refillable system. The flavour is a lemon-led profile with a cooling finish, aimed at vapers who like a sharp citrus note without the heavy sweetness found in many dessert and candy liquids.

Nic salts differ from traditional freebase e-liquid in one important way. Nicotine salt is nicotine combined with an organic acid, commonly benzoic acid, which lowers the pH of the liquid. The practical result is a smoother throat hit at higher nicotine strengths and a quicker, more cigarette-like nicotine delivery than the same strength of freebase nicotine would give. That is why nic salts are the usual choice for small, low-wattage devices and for adult smokers who are trying to move away from tobacco.

Here are the headline details at a glance.

  • Product: Double Brew Nic Salts, Lemon Ice flavour
  • Bottle size: 10ml, which is the maximum size permitted for nicotine-containing refill liquid in the UK
  • Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml, which is the legal upper limit for e-liquid sold in the UK
  • Nicotine type: nicotine salt
  • Flavour family: citrus with a menthol-style cooling finish
  • Best suited to: pod systems and mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices running at low power
  • Age restriction: 18 and over only

Since single-use disposable vapes were prohibited for sale in the UK in June 2025, refillable pod kits paired with bottled nic salts have become the main route for adults who want the same convenient, compact style of vaping. A 10ml bottle like this one gives you a flexible alternative: you choose the device, you choose the flavour, and you only refill when you need to. This guide covers what to expect from the flavour and performance, which devices suit it, how to choose a nicotine strength sensibly, how to fill and maintain your kit, how it compares with other options, and how to dispose of empty packaging responsibly.

Vaping is intended for adults who already smoke or use nicotine. It is not risk-free and it is addictive, so if you do not currently use nicotine products, this is not a product for you. The sections below are written to help existing nicotine users make an informed choice rather than to encourage anyone to start.

Flavour profile: what Lemon Ice tastes like

Lemon Ice sits in the citrus-and-menthol corner of the flavour map. The lead note is lemon, usually closer to the tart, zesty side of the fruit than to a sugary lemon sweet. On the inhale you can expect a bright, slightly sour citrus hit, followed by a mid-palate that rounds the sharpness off with a light sweetness, a little like lemonade or lemon sherbet. The exhale is where the ice comes in: a clean, cool sensation that lingers in the mouth and throat without becoming heavy or medicinal.

The cooling element in liquids of this type is typically menthol, a synthetic cooling agent, or a blend of the two. Menthol gives a minty, sharper chill, while synthetic coolants tend to feel smoother and less minty, spreading a cold sensation across the palate. If you are sensitive to menthol, a lemon ice profile is usually easier to enjoy than a straight menthol or peppermint flavour because the citrus note sits in front and the cooling stays in the background. If you prefer a very strong chill, you may find the ice level moderate rather than extreme, so it is worth keeping that in mind before ordering.

A few practical points affect how the flavour comes across in your own device.

  • Temperature: a cooler vape (lower wattage, more open airflow) emphasises the ice and the tartness. A slightly warmer vape brings out more of the sweet lemon character.
  • Coil condition: a fresh coil shows the lemon clearly. A tired coil can flatten citrus flavours quickly, because acidic, bright notes are the first to fade as residue builds up.
  • Nicotine strength: at 20mg, nicotine salt adds a gentle peppery warmth at the back of the throat. This sits alongside the cooling effect and can slightly mask the finer citrus notes, especially on a first few puffs.
  • Palate fatigue: if you vape the same menthol-style flavour all day, your taste buds can stop registering it. This is often called vaper's tongue. A day or two on a different flavour, or simply a drink of water between sessions, usually resets it.

Lemon Ice is a flavour that tends to suit warm weather, but it is just as workable as an all-day liquid because it avoids the cloying sweetness that can become tiring after a few hours. Compared with creamy custard or dessert profiles, it leaves your mouth feeling fresher and typically produces less sticky residue on the coil and inside the pod. That has a knock-on benefit for coil life, which is covered further down.

As with any flavour, individual perception varies. Citrus and cooling agents are among the most subjective categories in vaping, so what one person finds tart, another may find mild. If you are unsure, treat this description as a guide to the style rather than a guarantee of intensity.

Performance and puff delivery

Because this is an e-liquid, performance depends on the device you put it in, but nic salts behave in predictable ways. In a typical MTL pod kit running between roughly 8 and 15 watts, 20mg nic salt produces a modest cloud, a soft throat hit and a quick nicotine response. You are not looking for large vapour volume here. The point of the format is efficient nicotine delivery from small, discreet puffs.

A useful way to think about longevity is in terms of puffs per bottle. Vape puff counts are always approximate, since they depend on puff length, wattage and how often you vape, but a rough working figure for low-power nic salt use is somewhere around 200 to 300 puffs per millilitre. On that basis, a full 10ml bottle could provide something in the region of 2,000 to 3,000 puffs. For comparison, a typical 600-puff disposable held about 2ml of liquid, so a 10ml bottle contains roughly the same amount of e-liquid as five of those. Treat these numbers as ballpark estimates rather than a guarantee.

What you can realistically expect in daily use:

  • Light use (a few sessions a day): a bottle can last two to three weeks.
  • Moderate use: roughly one to two weeks per bottle.
  • Heavy or chain use: a bottle may be gone in several days, and in that case you may want to check whether 20mg is leading you to vape more than you need to.

Nicotine delivery is a defining feature of nic salts. Because of the lower pH, nicotine is absorbed more quickly across the mouth and throat, and many smokers describe the satisfaction as closer to a cigarette than freebase liquid at a similar strength. That quick hit also means you may find that you take fewer puffs per session than you would with a lower-strength freebase liquid. Take your first few puffs slowly, wait a minute or two, and see how you feel before carrying on.

Throat hit at 20mg is noticeable but typically smooth. Combined with the cooling element of Lemon Ice, some people find the sensation slightly sharper on the first puff of a session and smoother after. If you find it too strong, a more open airflow setting, a slightly lower wattage or a shorter draw can all soften it.

One more point on performance: nic salts are generally formulated for devices that draw gently. If you use a high-powered sub-ohm tank, you will likely get harsh throat hit, wasted liquid and an uncomfortably strong nicotine rush. That is a mismatch of liquid and hardware rather than a flaw in the liquid itself, and it is the main reason this product is recommended for pod systems rather than large tanks.

Bottle design and build quality

The 10ml bottle is the standard format for nicotine-containing refill liquid sold in the UK. UK rules require refill bottles to be child-resistant and tamper-evident, so you should find a cap that needs a firm press-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn to open, plus a seal or ring that breaks the first time you open it. These are safety features and not marketing extras. They are there because liquid nicotine is hazardous if swallowed or spilled on skin, particularly for young children and pets.

Most bottles in this format are made from a soft, squeezable plastic with a long, thin dropper nozzle. That nozzle is the part that matters when you refill. A narrow tip lets you place liquid directly into the small fill port of a pod without spilling. When you squeeze gently, the liquid should come out in a controlled stream. If a bottle floods or drips when you tilt it, press the cap back on and check that the tip is seated properly before trying again.

Labelling on UK nicotine refills is also regulated. You can expect to see the following on the bottle or its carton:

  • The nicotine health warning, stating that the product contains nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance.
  • The nicotine strength in mg/ml.
  • The ingredients list, including the nicotine content.
  • A batch number so the product can be traced.
  • Instructions on keeping the product away from children and a reminder that it is not for sale or use under 18.

It is worth reading the label on delivery, because the exact PG/VG ratio is printed there. Many nic salt liquids sit at or close to an even split between propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, which suits pod devices because the thinner mix wicks quickly through small cotton and mesh. If your bottle has a different ratio, the guidance in the coil section below still applies, but you may need to allow a little longer for priming.

On storage, keep the bottle upright, tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and away from heat. A drawer or cupboard at room temperature is ideal. Heat and light can degrade the liquid over time, making the flavour taste flatter and the colour darker. If you notice a change in colour after a few months, that is normal for nicotine liquids and is mainly caused by oxidation of nicotine. It does not necessarily make the liquid unsafe, but if the smell or taste has changed significantly, replace the bottle.

Always wash your hands if liquid gets on your skin, wipe the bottle clean after filling, and keep it out of reach of children and animals. Never decant nicotine liquid into unlabelled containers.

Devices, battery and charging

Because Double Brew Nic Salts Lemon Ice is a liquid, the battery you rely on belongs to your vape device. The most common devices for 10ml nic salt bottles are refillable pod kits, and the battery sizes in that category generally fall between about 400mAh and 1,000mAh. As a rough guide, a 400 to 600mAh battery suits a light or occasional user, while 800 to 1,000mAh is more comfortable if you vape throughout the day. At typical low wattages, a 650mAh device might last most of a day for a light-to-moderate user, though real-world results depend on how often you vape and at what power.

When picking a device to use with this liquid, look for the following features:

  • Output range: roughly 8 to 20 watts, ideally with a draw-activated or adjustable output.
  • Coil resistance: between about 0.6 and 1.2 ohms, which is the usual band for nic salts.
  • Pod capacity: typically around 2ml, which is the maximum tank size allowed in the UK for nicotine vapes, so one 10ml bottle will refill a pod about five times.
  • USB-C charging: most current kits charge through USB-C, which is quicker and more durable than older micro-USB connectors.
  • Safety protections: short-circuit, overheat and low-voltage cut-off protection.

Charging is simple but a few habits extend battery life and keep things safe. Use the cable supplied by the manufacturer or a reputable replacement, and plug it into a standard USB port or a low-output wall adapter rather than a high-powered fast charger. Most pod kits take somewhere between 30 minutes and 90 minutes to charge fully, and the indicator light will normally change colour or switch off when finished. Do not leave a device charging unattended overnight or on soft surfaces such as a bed or sofa. If the device becomes unusually hot, smells strange or swells, stop using it and take it to a recycling point.

Do not carry a loose lithium battery in a pocket with coins or keys, and avoid leaving a device in a hot car or in direct sun. Heat is the biggest enemy of lithium-ion cells. Over time, any battery loses capacity, and after a year or two of daily use you may notice shorter run times.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household rubbish or normal recycling. Vape devices contain lithium batteries and electronics that are classed as waste electrical equipment. In the UK, you can drop them at household waste recycling centres, and many retailers that sell vaping products are required to accept used devices and batteries for recycling. Doing this properly reduces fire risk in bin lorries and recycling plants and recovers valuable materials.

Coil and mesh technology: what suits nic salts

The coil is the heating element that turns liquid into vapour, and its design has a bigger influence on how nic salts taste and feel than most beginners realise. For a liquid like Double Brew Lemon Ice, the right coil is generally a higher-resistance coil designed for MTL or restricted airflow.

There are three coil styles you are likely to meet.

  • Standard wire coils: a wire wrapped around cotton, usually in the 0.8 to 1.2 ohm range. They heat quickly, use little power and give a tight, flavour-forward draw. They are the traditional choice for nic salts.
  • Mesh coils: a flat or cylindrical mesh sheet with a large surface area. Mesh coils spread heat more evenly, which can give a more consistent flavour and slightly warmer, more satisfying vapour. Mesh coils in the 0.6 to 1.0 ohm range are widely used with 20mg nic salts at low to mid power.
  • Ceramic coils: a porous ceramic wick with embedded heating element. They tend to last longer and handle sweeter liquids well, though some users feel they dull sharp citrus notes slightly compared with cotton.

For a lemon-and-ice flavour, mesh or standard cotton coils are generally the better match, since both let the citrus top note come through clearly. The cooling agent also tends to feel crisper on a clean cotton coil than on a ceramic one, though preferences vary.

A few coil tips make a real difference to the experience:

  • Prime the coil. After fitting a new coil or refilling an empty pod, let it soak for five to ten minutes before vaping. Dry cotton burns instantly, leaving a harsh, scorched taste that can ruin the coil.
  • Match power to the coil. Stay within the wattage range printed on the coil or pod. Going above it burns the liquid, shortens coil life and increases throat harshness.
  • Watch your usage. Chaining puffs without a pause gives the cotton no time to re-wet, which is the most common cause of a burnt taste.
  • Replace on time. A coil used with a menthol-style citrus liquid typically lasts somewhere between one and two weeks of regular use, sometimes longer. When the flavour fades, vapour thins or you notice a faint burnt note, replace it.

Avoid sub-ohm coils below about 0.5 ohm with this liquid. They are built to run at much higher wattages with low-strength freebase liquids, and 20mg nic salt in that environment is both harsh and wasteful. Using a coil that is built for the job is the single most effective way to get the best out of the liquid without changing anything else.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 20mg right for you?

This product is sold at 20mg/ml, which equals 2% nicotine by volume. That is the highest strength allowed for e-liquids under UK law, and it is also the strength many smokers start on when switching from cigarettes. It is not the right choice for everyone, and picking the correct strength is one of the biggest factors in whether vaping works for you.

A sensible rule of thumb for adult smokers is as follows.

  • 20mg/ml: suited to people who smoke around 15 or more cigarettes a day, or who have their first cigarette within half an hour of waking. It is designed to satisfy strong cravings in a low-power device.
  • 10 to 12mg/ml: suited to moderate smokers, around 8 to 15 cigarettes a day, or to people who find 20mg too harsh.
  • 3 to 6mg/ml: suited to light smokers or to people who are gradually stepping down their intake.

These bands are general guides only and everyone absorbs nicotine differently. Device type matters as well. Because pod kits deliver less vapour than large tanks, they usually need a higher nicotine concentration to feel satisfying, which is why 20mg nic salt is common in that format.

If you find yourself with a racing heart, dizziness, nausea, sweating, headaches or an unpleasant tight feeling in the chest, you are probably taking in more nicotine than you need. Stop vaping, drink some water, and consider a lower strength next time. On the other hand, if you are chain-vaping, constantly craving or going back to cigarettes, the strength may be too low or the device may not be delivering enough.

It is worth knowing that 20mg nic salt is much more potent in practice than 20mg freebase. Nicotine salts are absorbed faster, which is the whole point, but it also means that people who were previously used to freebase at lower strengths can overdo it if they treat 20mg salt like a casual flavour. Start with fewer puffs than you expect to need, and build up.

Finally, remember that the long-term aim for many adult vapers is to reduce nicotine intake over time. If that is your plan, buy the next bottle at a lower strength once you feel settled, rather than waiting to run out. If you are pregnant, have heart disease, or are taking medication that may interact with nicotine, speak to a GP, pharmacist or local stop smoking service before you use any nicotine product. Free NHS-backed stop smoking support is available across the UK and can improve your chances of quitting for good.

Who Double Brew Lemon Ice is for

This liquid is aimed at a fairly specific audience: adult smokers and existing vapers who use small, low-powered pod devices and prefer fresh, fruit-and-cooling flavours to dessert or tobacco profiles. If that describes you, it is worth considering. If it does not, there may be better options.

It is likely to suit you if:

  • You are an adult smoker moving to vaping and need a strength that matches your cigarette habit.
  • You already use a refillable pod kit and want a bottle that works with the coil range you have.
  • You like tart, bright citrus flavours and enjoy a cooling finish.
  • You want something that tastes fresher through the day than a heavy sweet liquid.
  • You are replacing disposables and want a cheaper, more flexible alternative that creates less waste.

You may want to look elsewhere if:

  • You prefer big clouds and warm vapour from a sub-ohm tank. A higher-VG freebase shortfill is a better match.
  • You want a very mild, low nicotine experience. 20mg is the top of the range, so consider a lower-strength option.
  • You dislike menthol or any cooling sensation, since the ice element is part of this flavour.
  • You want a dessert, tobacco or sweet profile.

Who should not buy it at all is just as important. This product is not for anyone under 18, and it is not for people who do not currently use nicotine. Non-smokers, particularly young people, should not start vaping. Nicotine is addictive, and while vaping is widely considered to be much less harmful than smoking for adults who switch completely, it is not harmless. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a pre-existing heart or circulatory condition should take medical advice first.

It is also worth being honest about the realistic role of vaping. For many adult smokers, it is a useful tool for cutting out cigarettes. Using both vapes and cigarettes at the same time, known as dual use, reduces the benefit considerably. The aim for most people should be to switch completely, then reduce nicotine gradually if they want to. If you are struggling to make that switch, your local stop smoking service can offer free, evidence-based support and advice on which products may help.

How to use and fill your device

Refilling a pod with nic salt is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. The main things to get right are cleanliness, not overfilling and giving the coil time to soak. These steps apply to most refillable pod systems, but always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific device.

  • Step 1: Switch off and prepare. Make sure the device is not charging. Wash and dry your hands, and place a tissue or paper towel on the surface to catch any drips.
  • Step 2: Remove the pod. Take the pod out of the battery section. If you are replacing the coil, do this now and fit the new coil firmly.
  • Step 3: Open the fill port. Most pods have a silicone bung on the side or the top. Pull or slide it open. Identify where the central air tube is, and avoid filling directly into it.
  • Step 4: Shake and fill. Give the bottle a gentle shake, remove the cap, and tilt the pod. Squeeze liquid slowly into the corner of the tank, aiming for the inner wall so it runs down rather than splashing. Stop just below the maximum fill line.
  • Step 5: Close and wipe. Press the bung firmly back in place. Wipe any liquid from the pod and bottle, then reseal the bottle tightly.
  • Step 6: Wait. Leave the pod to stand upright for five to ten minutes so the cotton or mesh can saturate.
  • Step 7: Start gently. Reinsert the pod, take two or three gentle puffs without pressing the button for a long time, and then settle into your normal rhythm.

For the draw itself, a nic salt works best with a slow, steady pull of around two to three seconds, drawn into your mouth first and then inhaled. This mouth-to-lung technique mimics the way many people smoke. Avoid gulping huge lungfuls of vapour, because at 20mg that can feel overwhelming. If your device has adjustable airflow, start with a tighter setting and open it up if the throat hit feels too strong.

Some vapers like to leave a freshly opened bottle for a day or two before using it, a process known as steeping, in the belief that flavours blend more fully. Nic salts do not usually need much steeping, but if the first few refills taste slightly sharp, a short rest with the cap on, away from light, can help. Never open the bottle in the car or in a place where it may spill.

Once the pod is nearly empty, do not top it up repeatedly without checking the coil. A coil that is running low on liquid will quickly burn. Refill when the liquid level is about a quarter full, not when it has run dry. When you replace the coil, rinse the pod body with lukewarm water, let it dry completely, and then refill.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with nic salts in pod devices come down to a handful of causes, nearly all of which are easy to fix. If something tastes or feels wrong, work through this list before assuming the liquid is at fault.

  • Burnt or scorched taste: usually a dry coil or a worn-out coil. Make sure the pod has enough liquid, wait a few minutes after refilling, and take longer pauses between puffs. If it persists, replace the coil.
  • Weak or muted flavour: often a tired coil, or palate fatigue from vaping the same flavour. Try a fresh coil, a glass of water and a short break. Citrus flavours fade faster than most, so the coil is the first suspect.
  • Very harsh throat hit: check the nicotine strength and the wattage. Lower the power slightly, open the airflow and take shorter puffs. If it remains uncomfortable, a lower nicotine strength may suit you better.
  • Leaking from the pod or device: usually caused by overfilling, a loose bung or a poorly seated coil. Remove the pod, wipe it dry, check the seals and refill to a lower level. Leaking can also happen when air pressure changes, for example on a flight, so keep the pod near-empty when travelling.
  • Gurgling noises or spitting: too much liquid has pooled around the coil. Blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, or wipe away condensation. This is more common with 50/50 liquids in cold conditions.
  • No vapour or the device flashes: check the battery charge first. Then check that the pod is seated properly, the contacts are clean and the coil is not flooded or dry.
  • Sticky residue or sweet gunk in the pod: rinse the pod with warm water, dry it fully and replace the coil. Do not wash the battery section or the electrical contacts.
  • Dizziness or nausea after use: you are likely taking more nicotine than you are used to. Stop, rest and drink water. Reduce your intake next time.

If you have tried these steps and the problem continues, the fault is probably in the device rather than the liquid. In that case, check the manufacturer's warranty. If you think the liquid itself is faulty, for example if the bottle arrived damaged, leaking or with a broken seal, contact the shop with your order number and clear photographs, and do not use the product.

Where you see a persistently strange smell or taste coming straight from the bottle, discard it responsibly rather than carrying on using it. Safety always takes priority over saving a few pounds.

Value for money

Value in vaping is mostly about cost per use and flexibility. A single 10ml bottle of nic salt typically costs a few pounds, and price varies from shop to shop and brand to brand, so it is worth comparing the current price on this page against similar products. Rather than quoting a price that may change, here is how to work out whether it suits your budget.

Start with cost per millilitre. Divide the bottle price by 10 to get the figure, then compare it with other 10ml nic salts. Next, estimate how long a bottle lasts for you. If a bottle lasts a week and the pod needs a new coil every two weeks, your weekly cost is the price of the bottle plus half the price of a coil pack. This is much easier to budget than the old disposable model, where each device cost a fixed amount and then went in the bin.

There are a few reasons refillable nic salts tend to offer better value than the alternatives.

  • More liquid per pound: a 10ml bottle contains several times the liquid of a typical disposable, and a refillable kit can be reused for months.
  • Lower waste: you are buying liquid and the occasional coil, not an entire battery and plastic housing every time.
  • Flexibility: you can swap flavours without swapping hardware, so you are not stuck with a flavour you tire of.
  • Multi-buy deals: many shops offer bundle pricing on several 10ml bottles, which brings the cost per millilitre down further.

There are also upfront costs to consider. If you do not already own a device, you will need a pod kit, which usually costs a modest amount, plus replacement coils or pods every week or two. Still, once you have the kit, running costs are generally lower than buying disposables, and the disposable option no longer exists in the UK market.

It is also worth weighing the value of the flavour. Lemon Ice is a flavour that tends to stay interesting for longer than very sweet liquids, which can become tiring. If you vape one flavour a lot, a liquid you do not get bored of is better value than a cheaper one you stop using after a few days.

Finally, keep the long-term picture in mind. If using nic salts helps an adult smoker stop buying cigarettes, the savings can be substantial. At current UK cigarette prices, a pack a day costs many times more per week than a vape setup. That is a financial benefit, but it should always be secondary to the health reasons for switching.

How it compares, UK rules and responsible disposal

It is useful to place Double Brew Lemon Ice among the options you are likely to be weighing up, and to be fair about the strengths and limits of each.

  • Versus other lemon or citrus ice nic salts: most competing 10ml nic salts in this style share a similar structure of lemon, light sweetness and a cooling finish. The differences lie in the sharpness of the lemon, the sweetness level, the intensity of the cooling and the PG/VG balance. None of these are visible from a product listing, so the fairest comparison is to try one and judge for yourself.
  • Versus freebase shortfills: shortfills are larger bottles with room for nicotine shots, built for high-powered sub-ohm tanks. They give larger clouds and a warmer vapour at lower strengths, but they are bulkier, need mixing, and do not suit small pod devices. If you use a pod kit, nic salts are the better match. If you use a sub-ohm tank, shortfills fit better.
  • Versus pre-filled pods: closed pods are convenient and tidy, but they limit your flavour choice, cost more per millilitre and generate more plastic waste. A bottle of nic salt requires a few minutes of handling, but is more economical.
  • Versus single-use disposables: disposables are no longer legally sold in the UK, so this comparison is mainly historical. Before the ban, they shared the same 20mg limit, but were unrefillable, harder to recycle and had a higher total cost over time.

On UK rules, the main points are straightforward. Nicotine e-liquid must not exceed 20mg/ml, refill bottles must not exceed 10ml, tanks and pods must not hold more than 2ml, bottles must be child-resistant and tamper-evident, and products must carry the required health warnings. Sale to anyone under 18 is illegal, and retailers can ask for proof of age. These rules apply across the UK and exist to keep products consistent and safer for users.

For disposal, treat each part separately.

  • Empty bottles: nicotine residue means they should not be thrown into general recycling without checking. Many local councils accept empty, fully drained plastic bottles in household recycling, while others classify them as general waste. Check your council's guidance, and never pour leftover liquid down a drain.
  • Pods and coils: remove and bin used coils in general waste if your council does not specify otherwise, and rinse reusable pods before recycling according to local rules.
  • Devices and batteries: take these to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer with a take-back scheme, never in your home bins.
  • Packaging: cardboard cartons can usually go in standard paper recycling once any inserts are removed.

Used responsibly, a 10ml nic salt bottle in a refillable kit is one of the more practical, lower-waste ways for an adult smoker to switch away from tobacco. Choose a strength you actually need, match the liquid to a suitable low-power device, and dispose of everything properly.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Best value per ml in the category
  • Choose your own device and coil
  • Available in a wide strength ladder

Cons

  • Refilling can leak if you overfill
  • Coil priming has a small learning curve
  • You handle the bottle — less discreet than pods

Customer Buying Tips

  • Match the strength to how much you smoked: 20+/day → 10-20 mg nic salt; 10/day → 10 mg; under 5/day → 3-6 mg freebase.
  • Match the ratio to your device: pod kits take 50/50, sub-ohm tanks take 70/30 shortfill.
  • Don't overfill: leaving the airhole clear prevents gurgling and leaking.
  • Shake before use so the nicotine and flavour integrate evenly.

Frequently asked questions

Is 20mg the right nicotine strength for me?

20mg/ml is aimed at adult smokers who smoke around 15 or more cigarettes a day, or who need a cigarette soon after waking. Lighter smokers usually do better with 10 to 12mg or lower. If you feel dizzy, sick or jittery after vaping, the strength is likely too high for you and a lower option would be more suitable.

What devices can I use Double Brew Lemon Ice nic salts in?

It is designed for refillable pod kits and other low-power MTL devices, typically running at around 8 to 20 watts with coils between 0.6 and 1.2 ohms. It is not recommended for high-powered sub-ohm tanks because the nicotine rush and throat hit would be too harsh at 20mg.

How long will a 10ml bottle last?

As a rough guide, a 10ml bottle provides somewhere in the region of 2,000 to 3,000 puffs, though this varies with your puff length and device. A light user may take two to three weeks to finish it, while a heavier user could use it in a few days to a week.

How do I charge my vape device safely?

Use the cable supplied with your device and a standard USB port or low-output adapter. Most pod kits need 30 to 90 minutes for a full charge. Never leave a device charging unattended overnight or on soft furnishings, and stop using it if it becomes hot or swollen.

Can I mix this with other flavours or swap flavours in my pod?

Yes, the pod is reusable, but always rinse it with warm water and let it dry fully before changing flavour. You should also replace the coil, because old flavour stays in the cotton. We do not recommend mixing different nic salts together in one bottle because the result can be unpredictable.

Does the flavour change over time or need steeping?

Nic salts generally do not need long steeping. If the first few refills taste slightly sharp, leaving the sealed bottle in a cool, dark place for a day can help. Stored properly, the liquid should keep its flavour for many months, although it may darken slightly with age.

Is it good value compared with other options?

A 10ml bottle contains roughly the same amount of liquid as several disposable devices, and a refillable kit can be reused, so the running cost is typically lower. Disposables are also no longer legally sold in the UK, so refillable nic salts are the practical alternative. Check the per-millilitre price and multi-buy offers to compare.

Who should not buy this product?

It is strictly for adults aged 18 or over who already use nicotine. People who have never smoked or vaped should not start. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a heart condition should speak to a GP or pharmacist before using nicotine products.

Do you deliver to the UK, and how does age checking work?

Yes, UK delivery options and cut-off times are shown at checkout. Because nicotine products are age-restricted, you will be asked to confirm you are 18 or over, and the carrier may ask for proof of age on delivery.

What is the returns and warranty policy if something is wrong?

E-liquids are consumable, so opened bottles generally cannot be returned for change of mind. If an item arrives damaged, leaking or incorrect, contact the shop with your order number and photographs and do not use the product. Any warranty on the device itself is provided by its manufacturer.

Good quality all round

Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
