Dr Frost Arctic Edition Shortfill E-Liquid Apple Black Honeydew Ice

Dr Frost Arctic Edition Shortfill E-Liquid Apple Black Honeydew Ice is a nicotine free shortfill at £7.99, currently running a BUY 2 FOR £14 offer, and it stacks three fruits underneath a deliberate freeze. It arrives at 0mg, which is not an oversight but the entire design of the product.

Shortfills exist because of how nicotine is regulated in this country, not because manufacturers decided nicotine free liquid was a growth market. A large bottle of flavoured base with room left at the top is the legal route to buying e-liquid in volume, and what you do with that empty space is your decision: leave it, or add nicotine yourself. Both are entirely normal, and this page covers the maths for the second option in detail further down.

Dr Frost is a tightly edited range on this site, nine listings in total on the Dr Frost brand page, and the Arctic Edition is the coldest thing they do. If you want to see how it compares against the wider large format market, our shortfill e-liquids collection has the lot.

Three Fruits and a Freeze: Reading the Flavour Name

Long flavour names look like marketing noise, but they are usually an ingredient list written in the order you taste things. Apple, then Black, then Honeydew, then Ice.

Apple leads, and in vaping that almost always means the green, crisp, slightly tart apple rather than a soft red one. It is the sharpest element in the blend and the first thing that registers on the inhale.

Black is shorthand. In flavour naming across the category it signals blackcurrant, the dark, jammy, slightly tannic berry that British palates know from cordial. Its job here is depth. Apple on its own is thin and one dimensional; blackcurrant puts a body underneath it.

Honeydew is the surprise, and it is the reason this blend is not just another apple and blackcurrant. Honeydew melon is soft, watery and gently sweet with almost no acidity, so it sits between the two sharper fruits and rounds the edges off. It is a flavour that works far better as a supporting note than as a lead.

Ice is the Arctic Edition signature. It is not a fruit at all but a cooling sensation layered over the top, hitting hardest on the exhale. In a three fruit blend it does something useful beyond temperature: cold flattens sweetness slightly, which stops a fruit stack this dense from turning syrupy. Everything cold on this site is gathered in our iced e-liquids collection if that is the profile you gravitate towards.

What a Shortfill Actually Is

If this is your first large bottle, the format needs explaining properly, because nothing about it is intuitive.

UK regulation caps nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle and 20mg of nicotine per millilitre. There is no legal way to sell you a large bottle with nicotine already in it. Not at 3mg, not at any strength.

The industry's answer was to separate the two components. Flavoured base with no nicotine in it is not subject to the 10ml limit, so it can be sold in large bottles. Nicotine is then sold separately in small 10ml units. Buy both, combine them at home, and you end up where you wanted to be at a much lower cost per millilitre than buying dozens of small bottles.

The word shortfill describes the bottle rather than the liquid. It is deliberately underfilled, with space left at the top precisely so nicotine can be added without decanting anything. Two bottle formats dominate the UK market: 50ml of liquid in a 60ml bottle, and 100ml of liquid in a 120ml bottle. Check which one this listing shows before you buy nicotine shots to go with it, because the number of shots you need depends on it.

If you have no intention of adding nicotine at all, none of this applies and the bottle is ready to use straight away.

The Nic Shot Maths, Done Properly

A nicotine shot is a 10ml bottle of unflavoured base carrying nicotine and nothing else. They are normally sold at 18mg or 20mg per millilitre. Adding one dilutes the nicotine across the whole finished bottle, and the arithmetic is simple once you see it laid out.

The rule

Multiply the shot strength by the number of shots, multiply that by 10 for the millilitres in each shot, then divide by the total finished volume. The answer is your strength per millilitre.

The 60ml format

1. Start with 50ml of 0mg liquid in a 60ml bottle.
2. Add one 10ml shot at 18mg. That shot carries 180mg of nicotine.
3. 180mg spread across 60ml of finished liquid gives 3mg per millilitre.
4. Use a 20mg shot instead and you land on roughly 3.3mg per millilitre.

The 120ml format

1. Start with 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml bottle.
2. Add two 10ml shots at 18mg, carrying 360mg between them.
3. 360mg across 120ml is the same 3mg per millilitre.
4. Add only one shot to that 100ml and you finish with 110ml at about 1.6mg per millilitre, which is the low strength option.

What shortfills cannot do

They cannot reach 10mg or 20mg. The flavour base occupies most of the bottle, so there is nowhere near enough room for the nicotine required. Shortfills live between roughly 1.5mg and 3.5mg, which suits larger devices, and anyone wanting salt strengths should buy 10ml nicotine salts rather than trying to force the maths.

After mixing

Cap it, shake it hard for a minute, then leave it standing for a day or two. Nicotine base and flavoured base do not blend instantly, and liquid tasted straight after mixing rarely represents what it will settle into.

Zero Nicotine by Default, and Who Keeps It That Way

A large number of shortfill buyers never add a shot, and it is worth saying so because the format is often described as though the nicotine step is compulsory.

Some have brought their nicotine intake down over months or years and arrived at nothing, while keeping the ritual and the flavour. Others alternate: a nicotine liquid earlier in the day and a 0mg bottle in the evening. Others again vape socially rather than habitually and never wanted nicotine involved at all.

There is a practical dimension too. Nicotine free liquid can be shared with another adult vaper without anyone worrying about strength, and it does not carry the same considerations around storage in a house with other people in it.

Flavour is not compromised by the absence of nicotine. If anything, nicotine adds a faint peppery edge at the back of the throat that fruit blends do without quite happily. A cold apple and blackcurrant profile is arguably cleaner at 0mg than at 3mg, and plenty of people who could add a shot choose not to for exactly that reason. Everything on the site sold without nicotine sits in our nicotine free e-liquids collection.

The Arctic Edition Line and Its Eight Flavours

Arctic Edition runs to eight flavours, and reading them together tells you what the range is for. Apple Black Honeydew Ice, Arctic Blue Ice, Blueberry Raspberry Ice, Cherry Cola Ice, Coconut Lemonade Ice, Mango Pineapple Ice, Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream and Strawmelon Ice.

Seven of the eight carry an explicit cooling cue in the name. The eighth, Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream, is a dessert rather than a chilled fruit, and it is the one flavour in the line that steps outside the brief. The rest are variations on a single theme: take a fruit pairing, then freeze it.

Within that theme there is more variety than the naming suggests. Arctic Blue Ice is the range at its most stripped back, cold with minimal fruit interference. Blueberry Raspberry Ice goes the dark berry route, sweeter and rounder than the apple led blends. Mango Pineapple Ice is the tropical corner, heavier and more sugary, and the one to pick if the apple in this bottle reads as too sharp for you. All three sit at the same £7.99.

Where Apple Black Honeydew Ice earns its place is complexity. Most of the line is a two fruit idea. This is a three fruit idea with the melon acting as a bridge, and that makes it hold up better than the simpler blends over a long day of vaping, when a straightforward flavour starts to feel repetitive.

Two for £14, and the Number That Actually Matters

One bottle is £7.99. Two under the current offer is £14 flat. Buying the pair rather than a single bottle twice saves £1.98 on £15.98, which works out at roughly twelve percent off and brings each bottle down to £7.

The saving is real but modest. The number that changes an order more meaningfully is the free delivery threshold, which sits at £20. Two bottles at £14 does not reach it. That gap catches people out constantly: they take the offer, feel they have done well, and then pay postage that eats most of the discount.

There are two clean ways around it. Take the offer twice, which puts four bottles in the basket at £28 and clears the threshold with room to spare. Or take it once and add whatever else you were going to need anyway, nicotine shots being the obvious candidate given this liquid arrives at 0mg. Either route makes the £1.98 saving worth having instead of cancelling it out with shipping.

Four bottles is a serious amount of liquid, so if that feels excessive, the answer is usually to buy across flavours rather than doubling up on one. Anything else currently discounted is collected on our vape deals page, which is the fastest way to find the extra item that gets a basket over the line.

Storing It, Steeping It and Getting It Delivered

Large bottles get treated more casually than small ones, which is a mistake given how long they last you.

Store the bottle upright somewhere cool and dark. A cupboard is ideal, a windowsill is the worst option available. Light degrades flavour compounds and heat accelerates oxidation, which turns bright fruit dull and darkens the liquid's colour over time. Colour change alone is not a fault, but it is a reliable sign the bottle has been stored badly.

Keep the cap tight between uses. Every time a bottle sits open, air gets in, and oxygen is what flattens fruit notes first. Cooling agents are more robust and tend to survive longer, which is why a poorly stored iced fruit liquid ends up tasting mostly of cold with the fruit fading behind it.

On steeping, a shortfill that has had nicotine added benefits from a day or two standing. A bottle you are vaping at 0mg straight from the box needs nothing at all.

Delivery is straightforward. Orders reaching us before 4pm on a weekday are picked and sent the same day, and free UK postage kicks in above £20 as covered above. Every bottle we ship is genuine and sourced through recognised UK supply.

One point on age that applies here as much as anywhere else: even at 0mg, e-liquid is not sold to anyone under 18. The legal restriction covers vaping products as a category rather than nicotine specifically, so a nicotine free bottle goes through the same verification at checkout as everything else, and we will ask for identification where an automatic check does not confirm you.

Where this sits in the Dr Frost range

A single product tells you little; the shape of the range tells you a lot. We stock 9 Dr Frost products, running from £7.99 to £7.99. That makes it a small, specialist range rather than a catalogue brand.

The full lineup is on the Dr Frost page.

If a brand has worked for you once, its other lines are usually a safer bet than an unknown.

How it compares to the rest of the category

The useful question is not what it costs, but what else that money buys. We list 736 products in this category. At £7.99, this one sits in the middle of the market.

• Multibuy deals are where the price per unit drops hardest, and they can be mixed across flavours.
• Reduced lines carry 1,558 products if the budget is the deciding factor.
• Prefilled pods cost more per millilitre but remove the refilling entirely.
• Prefer this flavour family? Browse the whole family rather than guessing at names.

The honest answer is that most vapers end up owning two formats, not one.

The running cost, worked out

Work out cost per week and product comparisons get much easier.

We would rather leave the arithmetic blank than guess at a rating.

• The buy 2 for £14 offer is the single biggest lever on that number.
• Baskets over £20.00 ship free in the UK, so building to that threshold beats paying postage twice.
• Nicotine strength changes consumption: many adults find a higher strength means reaching for the device less often.

Apple Black Honeydew Ice against the rest of the line

The quickest way to judge a flavour is against its own siblings, not against the whole shop. There are 8 options under this name:

• Blueberry Raspberry Ice
• Cherry Cola Ice
• Arctic Blue Ice
• Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream
• Coconut Lemonade Ice
• Strawmelon Ice

Buying two from different families and alternating stops either going flat on you. The buy 2 for £14 offer makes that cheap to do.

Why the UK market looks like this

Some of what you see on the shelf is regulation rather than brand choice. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. Those three numbers explain most of the format quirks in this category.

The end of single-use disposables changed what sits on the shelf. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods took their place, which is why a device now comes with a charging port and a pod you swap rather than a sealed unit you bin. For most people it works out cheaper over a month, provided you stay on one platform.

All stock here meets those UK limits and comes through UK distribution. Sales are 18+ and every order is age-checked.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

Ordering is deliberately simple. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. Tracked options are shown at checkout.

We cannot resell an opened consumable, so opened items are outside the returns policy. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. This is an 18+ purchase and orders are age-checked before they ship.

Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.

• Prime before the first draw. Fill, then wait a few minutes so the wick soaks fully. A dry first pull is what burns a coil.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

Do those four things and most of the usual problems never appear.

Buying this as a first purchase

First time buying this sort of product? The decisions that matter are simpler than the shelf suggests.

1. Format. A bottle is the cheapest way to vape per millilitre, but you refill it yourself. Prefilled pods remove that job at a higher cost.
2. Strength. This comes in 0mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Apple Black Honeydew Ice. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Everything else is preference rather than a decision that costs you money. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

More flavours in this line

The rest of the line, if you want to compare before choosing.

• Mango Pineapple Ice
• Strawmelon Ice
• Cherry Cola Ice
• Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream
• Blueberry Raspberry Ice
• Coconut Lemonade Ice
• Arctic Blue Ice

Two on the go beats one, because alternating keeps both tasting fresher.

What changed when disposables were banned

The shelf you are shopping from looks nothing like it did two years ago. Single-use disposable vapes were banned in the UK, and the market replaced them with rechargeable devices that take replaceable pods. The experience is deliberately similar: prefilled, no measuring, no mess. The difference is that the battery survives the flavour, so you replace a pod for a couple of pounds rather than the whole unit.

For most people the change was an improvement, financially and otherwise. A device bought once and fed with pods costs less over a month than a stream of sealed units, and produces far less waste. It also changed how you shop: the decision splits into hardware first, then consumables, rather than being one purchase repeated endlessly.

We only sell compliant, UK-distributed stock. That means 2ml pods, 10ml nicotine bottles and a 20mg strength ceiling, with age verification on every order. Rechargeable kits and replacement pods are the two halves of that system if you are still assembling yours.

Common problems and how to avoid them

The same handful of issues account for nearly every complaint.

A burnt taste on a new bottle. Almost always a coil that was not primed. Fill it, then leave it a few minutes before the first draw so the wick saturates properly. Drawing on dry cotton scorches it, and once burnt it does not recover.

Leaking. Usually heat or pressure. Warmth thins liquid and pushes it through seals, so a hot car or a sunny windowsill is the usual culprit. Cabin pressure on a flight does the same thing, which is why storing spares upright in a bag beats loose in a pocket.

Flavour fading. Frequently the palate rather than the product. If a flavour dulls after a week, switching to a contrasting profile for a day or two usually brings it back sharply.

Buying the wrong fitment. Pods are not universal, and even within one brand the families differ. Check the listing names your device before ordering rather than after. Spares and accessories are grouped separately if you need a replacement part.
