Overview of the Scripture Nic Salt 10ml Pack of 10

This listing is for a pack of ten 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid bottles from Scripture, in the Apple & Black variant at 10mg/ml (1%) nicotine strength. Ten bottles at 10ml each gives you 100ml of e-liquid in total. It is supplied as separate bottles because 10ml is the largest bottle size allowed for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK, so a multipack is the normal way to buy in bulk.

It helps to be clear about what this product is. It is an e-liquid, not a device. There is no battery, no coil and no charging port in the box. To use it you need a refillable vape kit that is designed for nicotine salts, usually a pod system or a small mouth-to-lung (MTL) kit with a coil resistance somewhere between roughly 0.6 and 1.2 ohms. If you already own one of those, a pack of ten is a practical way to stock up on a flavour you like instead of reordering every few days.

The variant name on the listing is shortened to Apple & Black. The profile is an apple-led fruit flavour with a darker, berry-style partner in the blackcurrant family. The label on the bottle is the final word on the exact wording, so check it when your order arrives.

• Pack contents: 10 x 10ml bottles, 100ml in total
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt at 10mg/ml (1%)
• Flavour: Apple & Black, a fruit blend with a sweet-tart apple front and a darker berry finish
• Suited to: refillable pod kits and low-wattage MTL devices
• Not included: device, battery, coil or pod

Nicotine e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml, and that ceiling applies to salts and freebase alike. At 10mg/ml this pack sits at half of the legal maximum, which makes it a moderate-strength option. The same 20mg cap applied to disposable vapes before single-use devices were taken off sale in June 2025, and since then refillable kits paired with bottled liquid like this have become the main way for adult vapers in the UK to get a salt-nicotine experience. Strength is covered in more detail further down the page, along with what to do with empty bottles and old devices when you are finished with them.

Specifications at a glance

Because this is an e-liquid, the useful specifications are about volume, strength and formulation rather than battery capacity or puff counts printed on a device. The figures below come from the product name, the variant selected and standard UK labelling rules. Where a detail depends on the batch, such as the exact PG/VG ratio, the bottle label is the authority.

• Brand: Scripture
• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, 10ml bottles, sold as a pack of 10
• Total volume: 100ml across the pack
• Nicotine strength: 10mg/ml, which is 1% nicotine by volume
• Nicotine per bottle: 100mg in each 10ml bottle (10mg/ml multiplied by 10ml)
• Nicotine per pack: 1,000mg across all ten bottles
• Flavour variant: Apple & Black
• Base liquid: nic salt ranges in this 10ml format are commonly built on a roughly 50/50 propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine base, but check the label for the exact blend of your batch
• Bottle: 10ml soft plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal
• Suitable devices: refillable pod kits and MTL kits, typically 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coils running at around 8 to 25 watts
• Not suited to: high-wattage sub-ohm tanks, which are designed for lower-strength freebase liquid

The nicotine arithmetic matters more than it first appears. The strength on the label is a concentration, not a total. A 10ml bottle at 10mg/ml contains 100mg of nicotine in the liquid, while the same strength in a 2ml pod holds only 20mg. This is why light users can be comfortable with 10mg, and why heavy daily use of a salt liquid, even at moderate strength, adds up across a day. It is worth keeping a rough count of how many millilitres you get through, which the performance section below helps with.

Nicotine salts differ from the older freebase nicotine used in many larger bottles. Salt nicotine is paired with an acid, which makes the vapour feel smoother at a given strength and lets nicotine reach the bloodstream faster. That is why salts are normally sold at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, while freebase is usually sold between 0mg and 6mg for the same type of device. Do not compare the numbers directly between the two types. A 10mg salt is not a mild liquid in the way that 3mg freebase is.

Unopened e-liquid should be stored somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap closed and the bottle upright. Stored sensibly, it normally remains good to use for a year or more, though the batch code and any date on the label take precedence over any general rule of thumb.

Apple and Black flavour profile

Fruit flavours dominate UK nic salt sales, and apple paired with a darker berry is a familiar structure. The Apple & Black variant is built around an apple top note with a blackcurrant-style partner underneath. Taste is subjective and varies from person to person, so treat the description below as a guide to what the combination usually delivers rather than a promise.

On the inhale you can expect a bright, slightly tart apple note up front. Apple in e-liquid tends to land somewhere between crisp green apple and sweeter red apple, and the tartness is usually what keeps it from tasting flat. The darker berry component arrives more gradually. Blackcurrant-type flavouring has a rounded, slightly musky depth with a sharp edge, and it gives the vapour a more grown-up character than a straight apple would have.

On the exhale the berry note generally lingers a little longer than the apple. Many people describe this as a jammy finish, with the sweetness sitting in the background rather than on the front of the tongue. Sweeteners are common in fruit e-liquids, so a moderate to noticeable sweetness is likely. If you dislike sweet profiles, this is a point to weigh up before buying ten bottles in one go.

• Sweetness: moderate to high, typical of a fruit nic salt
• Tartness: noticeable from the apple and the dark berry
• Throat hit: mild at 10mg, smoother than a freebase liquid of comparable nicotine content
• Cooling: none should be assumed, since the variant name does not mention menthol or ice
• Aftertaste: lightly fruity, usually clearing within a minute or so

Device settings change how the flavour comes across. At lower wattages, a mesh or ceramic coil produces cooler vapour and a softer, more rounded fruit taste where the apple leads. Turn the power up within your device's recommended range and the vapour becomes warmer, the sweetness becomes more pronounced and the berry layer comes forward. If the flavour starts to taste muddy or slightly burnt, the usual cause is a coil that is due for replacement rather than a fault with the liquid.

Flavour fatigue is common with any single fruit profile. After a few days of vaping the same liquid, many people find the taste fades into the background, and that is a property of how our senses adapt rather than a sign that the e-liquid has gone off. If you notice it, switching to a different flavour for a day or two usually brings the original back into focus. Because this is a ten-bottle pack of one flavour, it is sensible to be reasonably sure you enjoy the profile before committing, and to keep a different flavour at hand for variety.

Performance and puff delivery

E-liquid does not have a puff count of its own, so the useful question is how much vaping you get out of 10ml and 100ml. The answer depends heavily on the device. As a planning figure, real-world use in a low-power MTL or pod device lands somewhere around 150 to 300 puffs per millilitre. Puff counts printed on small disposable-style devices tend to imply roughly 250 to 300 puffs per millilitre, but longer puffs, higher wattage and more open airflow all push consumption up.

• Per 10ml bottle: roughly 1,500 to 3,000 puffs
• Per pack of ten (100ml): roughly 15,000 to 30,000 puffs
• Light use (about 1ml a day): a bottle lasts around ten days and the full pack around three months
• Moderate use (about 2ml a day): a bottle lasts around five days and the full pack around seven weeks
• Heavy use (about 4ml a day): a bottle lasts around two and a half days and the full pack around three and a half weeks

These are estimates, not guarantees. Your own consumption is the only reliable number, and the easiest way to find it is to note how many pod refills you do in a typical day. Most refillable pods hold between 2ml and 3ml, so two refills a day means roughly 4 to 6ml.

On nicotine delivery, a salt at 10mg/ml tends to feel moderate. The nicotine is absorbed quickly, so the first few puffs after a gap are usually the most noticeable. People moving from cigarettes often find that 10mg is enough to take the edge off cravings without the harshness that a freebase liquid at a similar strength can bring. Heavier smokers sometimes find 10mg leaves them wanting more and end up taking more frequent puffs, which raises liquid consumption without raising satisfaction. If you find yourself chain vaping on 10mg, that is a sign to consider the next strength up, not to simply puff more.

Vapour production with this kind of liquid and device is modest. A 50/50 base in a small coil gives a light to medium cloud, with most of the effort going into flavour and nicotine rather than volume. That is by design. Salts are meant to be used at low power, and pushing a salt liquid hard in a high-wattage tank wastes liquid, makes the flavour harsh and raises the amount of nicotine you inhale in each puff well beyond what the strength on the label suggests.

Consistency across the pack is another point worth mentioning. Ten bottles of the same variant should taste and behave alike, but batch-to-batch differences do occur across the industry. If you notice that a later bottle tastes different from the first, check the batch code on the label before assuming something has gone wrong, and contact us if there is an unmistakable difference in colour, smell or taste.

Bottle design and build quality

The build quality of an e-liquid comes down to the bottle, the closure and the labelling. Bottles of this type are soft plastic with a thin, long nozzle that fits into the fill port of most pod kits. The soft sides let you squeeze out a controlled amount, which matters when the fill port on a small pod is only a few millimetres wide. UK rules require nicotine e-liquid to be sold in child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging, so expect a cap that needs to be pushed and turned or pressed in a specific way, together with a ring or seal that breaks on first opening.

• Child-resistant cap: harder to open than an ordinary cap by design. If you find it awkward, follow the arrows or instructions printed on the cap rather than forcing it.
• Tamper-evident ring: should be intact on arrival. If it is broken on a bottle that you have not opened, tell us before you use it.
• Nozzle: narrow enough for pod fill ports. Wipe it before capping to stop residue building up and making the cap sticky.
• Label: should show the nicotine warning, nicotine strength, ingredients, batch number and volume. Keep the label legible and do not peel it off.

A pack of ten is typically shipped in outer packaging that keeps the bottles together. When it arrives, check that none of the bottles are leaking, that the seals are intact and that every bottle carries the same flavour and strength you selected. Leaks in transit are uncommon but can happen, and it is much easier to deal with them straight away. Photographs of any damage help us resolve it quickly.

Plastic e-liquid bottles are not as robust as glass in terms of long-term stability, but they are lighter, safer if dropped and suitable for the squeeze-fill method. Over time, strong sunlight or heat can darken the liquid and affect flavour. Keep the bottles in a drawer or cupboard away from heat sources, windows and car interiors. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed and can be absorbed through the skin, so store bottles well out of reach of children and pets.

Recycling and disposal. Empty bottles should be rinsed if your local authority asks for it, then disposed of according to your council's guidance. Some councils accept small plastic bottles in kerbside recycling, while others do not take items of this size, so check your local rules. Never pour leftover liquid down a drain. Put small amounts of residue on absorbent material and dispose of it with your household waste. The device you pair the e-liquid with is a different matter, because vapes and pods contain batteries and electronics. Do not put them in kerbside bins. Take them to a vape-recycling drop-off point, such as a household waste recycling centre with an electrical recycling bank, or to a retailer that runs a take-back scheme. The Recycle Your Electricals postcode search is a quick way to find your nearest option.

Battery and charging for the device you pair it with

This pack has no battery, so there is nothing to charge in the product itself. Battery and charging matter because the device you put the liquid in determines how far each bottle goes and how often you need to plug in. If you are choosing a kit to go with a 10mg nic salt, a few numbers are worth knowing.

Small refillable pod kits generally carry batteries between about 400mAh and 1,000mAh, while larger MTL kits go up to around 1,500mAh or more. A rough calculation helps put those numbers into context. A 1,000mAh lithium battery at a nominal 3.7 volts stores around 3.7 watt-hours. At a typical salt-nic output of around 10 watts, and allowing for the fact that real-world efficiency is below 100%, that gives roughly 15 to 20 minutes of total firing time. With 3-second puffs, that is somewhere in the region of 300 to 350 puffs per charge. At 250 to 300 puffs per millilitre, a single charge on a 1,000mAh device would use a little over a millilitre of liquid. These are approximations, but they show why a heavy user needs either a bigger battery or a habit of topping up during the day.

• Charging port: USB-C is now the norm on newer kits. Use the cable supplied with your device or a reputable replacement.
• Charger: a standard 5V phone-type charger is fine. Avoid fast-charge bricks that are not recommended for your kit.
• Charge time: usually between 30 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on battery size.
• Pass-through: some kits let you vape while charging, though it is better to let the device charge undisturbed.

Battery safety. Do not leave a device charging unattended for long periods or overnight. Stop using any device with a swollen, hot or damaged casing, or one that has been dropped hard. Avoid carrying a vape loose in a pocket with keys or coins, because contact between metal objects and the battery terminals is a recognised cause of short circuits. Keep devices out of hot cars and direct sunlight.

End of life. When a battery stops holding charge or the device fails, do not bin it. Lithium batteries are a fire risk in bin lorries and recycling plants. Take the device to a vape-recycling drop-off point or retailer take-back scheme. Many household waste recycling centres now have dedicated electrical banks for this purpose, and it is free for householders to use them.

If you are shopping for a device to use with this liquid, a battery of around 800mAh to 1,200mAh with an adjustable or well-tuned output of about 10 to 15 watts is a sensible target. Check that the kit explicitly supports nic salts and the coil resistance range suited to them.

Coil and mesh technology for nic salts

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, so the coil type in your device has a big effect on how this e-liquid tastes and how long it lasts. Nic salts are formulated for low-power devices, which usually means coils with a resistance of around 0.6 to 1.2 ohms. Higher resistance means less power draw, lower vapour volume and a tighter draw, which is the style that salts suit.

• Mesh coils: a flat sheet of mesh rather than a wound wire. The larger surface area heats quickly and evenly, which tends to give fuller flavour and more consistent vapour for the wattage. Many current pod kits use mesh in the 0.6 to 0.8 ohm range.
• Round wire coils: a traditional wound wire, often Kanthal or stainless steel, in the 0.8 to 1.2 ohm range. They suit tighter MTL draws and slightly lower power.
• Ceramic coils: a porous ceramic wicking element. They can give a clean flavour and good durability, though they are usually slower to heat.

For a fruit profile such as Apple & Black, a mesh or ceramic coil usually presents the tartness and the dark berry layer clearly. A well-matched coil at moderate power gives a balanced taste. Too much power for the coil produces dry or burnt flavour and shortens its life, so stay within the wattage printed on the coil or pod.

Coil life. Sweet, fruit-based liquids tend to leave residue on a coil faster than unsweetened liquids because sweeteners caramelise on the heating surface. As a practical guide, expect a coil to last around one to two weeks in regular use, or somewhere in the region of 30 to 60ml of liquid, though this varies a great deal with wattage and puffing style. Warning signs that a coil is nearing the end include a muted or burnt flavour, a gurgling or spitting sound, darkened wick material and reduced vapour. When you replace one, the new coil should be primed properly, which is covered in the how-to-use section below.

Pairing guidance.

• Use a device marked for nic salts or MTL. Most pod kits are.
• Match the wattage to the coil. Most salt coils work comfortably between about 8 and 20 watts.
• Avoid using this liquid in a sub-ohm tank at high power. The coil will use liquid very quickly, the nicotine intake per puff will be much higher than you expect from a 10mg label and the flavour will be harsh.
• If you want to alternate between several flavours, consider a spare pod or a dedicated coil for each flavour to prevent flavours from mixing.

The e-liquid itself is not responsible for coil compatibility problems, but a thicker liquid in a low-resistance coil can cause dry hits if the wick cannot keep up. A 50/50 base, which is typical for salt ranges, is generally friendly to the wicking in small pod devices.

Nicotine strength guidance for 10mg

Choosing the right strength is the most important decision with any nicotine e-liquid. In the UK the legal maximum is 20mg/ml, and this pack is 10mg/ml, so it is the middle of the standard salt range. Most nic salt lines are sold at 10mg and 20mg, with some also offering 5mg, 11mg or 18mg.

• Around 20 or more cigarettes a day: many people start on 20mg salt in a small pod kit. 10mg may feel too light unless you are vaping very frequently.
• Around 10 to 15 cigarettes a day: 10mg to 12mg is a common starting point for a salt in a pod kit.
• Fewer than 10 a day or social smokers: 5mg to 10mg is usually enough.
• Stepping down from a higher strength: 10mg is a typical halfway point between 20mg and the lowest strengths.

These figures are general starting points, not medical advice. Personal factors such as how you smoked, how deeply you inhale, your device and your puff length all affect how strong a given liquid feels.

Signs the strength may be too high: nausea, dizziness, headache, a racing heart, sweating, hiccups or a very harsh throat hit. If you notice these, stop vaping and drink water. Next time, take shorter puffs or move to a lower strength.

Signs it may be too low: persistent cravings, chain vaping, topping up your pod far more often than expected and returning to cigarettes. If this happens consistently over several days, consider a stronger liquid rather than a bigger device.

Change strengths gradually. Moving down in steps of about 5mg over a few weeks is easier than a sudden jump. If you decide to reduce nicotine as part of quitting altogether, a local stop-smoking service can offer support, and the NHS provides free advice on the available options. Do not take up vaping if you do not already smoke. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is intended for adult smokers who want to move away from cigarettes. It is not suitable for anyone under 18, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should speak to a healthcare professional before using nicotine products.

One further point on safety applies specifically to salts. Because a salt feels smooth, it is easy to take bigger or more frequent puffs than you realise. Pay attention to how many pods or how much liquid you get through each day, and use that as a guide to how much nicotine you are taking in. Finally, avoid combining a nic salt vape with other nicotine products such as pouches, patches or cigarettes unless a healthcare professional has advised you to, because the combined intake can be difficult to judge.

Who this pack is for, and who should skip it

This pack suits a fairly specific type of buyer. Knowing whether you fit that profile before ordering saves money and avoids disappointment.

It is a good fit for:

• Adult smokers who have moved to a refillable pod kit and want a moderate nicotine strength in a fruit flavour.
• Former disposable users who are switching to refillable devices now that single-use vapes can no longer be sold in the UK.
• Regular vapers who go through several millilitres a day and would rather buy a month or two of liquid in one order.
• People who run more than one pod device and want the same liquid available for each.
• Anyone who already knows they like apple and berry combinations and has tried the flavour in a smaller bottle.

It is probably not for you if:

• You do not smoke or vape already. Nicotine is addictive and vaping is not recommended for non-smokers.
• You are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under that age in the UK.
• You need a high-strength liquid. If you are a heavy smoker who finds 10mg underwhelming, 20mg is the upper limit, and you may be better suited to that strength.
• You use a sub-ohm tank at high power. A 10mg salt is the wrong tool for that device.
• You do not like sweet or fruity flavours. This variant is firmly in that territory.
• You have never tried the flavour. Ten bottles is a lot of one taste if it turns out not to suit you.
• You are looking for a complete starter kit. This pack contains liquid only.

There is also a practical consideration around quantity. If you vape lightly, say 1ml a day or less, then 100ml is around three months of supply. E-liquid keeps well when stored properly, but you may prefer a smaller order and a more varied selection of flavours. At the other end of the scale, if you are working through 4ml or more a day, the pack gets you through nearly a month, and ordering a repeat before you run out is easy.

This product is intended for adults who are already smokers or existing nicotine users. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take regular medication, speak to a doctor, pharmacist or stop-smoking adviser before using any nicotine product. Keep all e-liquid out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a bottle in a bag or pocket where a child could get hold of it.

How to fill and use your e-liquid

Filling a pod from a 10ml bottle is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. Follow the steps below and always refer to your device manual for model-specific instructions, since fill port design differs between kits.

• 1. Check compatibility. Confirm that your kit is a refillable device suited to nicotine salts and that the coil resistance is in the usual 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range.
• 2. Prepare. Wash and dry your hands. Check that the tamper-evident seal on the bottle is intact before first use.
• 3. Shake gently. A light shake mixes the contents before filling. Wipe the nozzle if any liquid has gathered on it.
• 4. Open the pod. Remove the pod from the device. Open the fill port, which may be a silicone plug or a sliding cover.
• 5. Fill slowly. Rest the nozzle against the side of the fill port and squeeze gently. Stop at the maximum fill line. Do not fill the central airflow tube, and do not overfill, because it floods the coil.
• 6. Close up. Press the plug or cover firmly closed, wipe away any spills and refit the pod.
• 7. Prime the coil. Wait around 5 to 10 minutes so the wick can soak the liquid up. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt first hit.
• 8. Start gently. Take a few short puffs without pressing the button for long, then work up to normal use.

Puffing technique. With a salt in an MTL device, draw into the mouth first, hold for a second or two, then inhale. Keep puffs to around two to three seconds and wait 20 to 30 seconds between draws. Slow, steady draws deliver good flavour and avoid the lightheaded feeling that comes from taking too much nicotine too fast.

Everyday handling.

• Keep the bottle upright and tightly closed when not in use.
• Do not top up a pod with a different flavour while it still contains liquid, unless you are happy with a blend. Rinse the pod if you want a clean change.
• If liquid gets on your skin, wash with soap and water straight away. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek advice.
• If a child or pet swallows e-liquid, seek urgent medical help.

Vape only where it is permitted. Many indoor public spaces, public transport, workplaces and some outdoor areas such as hospital grounds and train stations have their own rules. Respect other people and use common sense, particularly around children and in shared spaces.

A final practical tip: label your pod or keep the bottle you are using separate from the rest of the pack. When you have ten identical bottles it is easy to lose track of which one is open, and a bottle that has been opened and left uncapped in a bag can leak or oxidise faster than one stored properly.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems people report with salt e-liquids come from the device or technique rather than the liquid itself. The checklist below covers the issues we see most often.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Usually a worn or unprimed coil. Replace the coil, let the new one soak for 5 to 10 minutes before use and keep power at the lower end of the recommended range.
• Weak or muted flavour. Often caused by a coil with residue from sweeteners, which is common with fruit liquids. A fresh coil normally restores flavour. Flavour fatigue is another possibility, so try a different flavour for a day.
• Leaking from the pod. Check that the fill plug is seated properly, that you have not overfilled and that the pod is firmly clicked into the device. Temperature changes and air travel can also push liquid out.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid in the airflow path. Blow gently through the mouthpiece with the device off, wipe away excess and avoid filling above the maximum line.
• Dry hit. The wick is not saturated. Refill the pod, allow time for the coil to soak and take shorter, gentler puffs until the vapour returns to normal.
• Harsh throat hit. Likely too much power, too long a puff or a strength that is too high for you. Reduce wattage, shorten the draw or consider a lower strength.
• Nausea, dizziness or headache. Too much nicotine. Stop vaping, drink water and rest. Next time use fewer, shorter puffs or a lower-strength liquid.
• Unsatisfying nicotine hit. The strength may be too low for you. Check that the device is delivering vapour properly first, then consider 20mg if 10mg consistently leaves you craving.
• Device will not fire. Check the battery charge, clean the contacts between pod and battery and make sure the pod is seated correctly. If the problem continues, it is a device issue and not an e-liquid issue.
• Cap will not open. The child-resistant mechanism needs the correct action. Follow the instructions on the cap. Do not use pliers or cut the bottle.
• Liquid looks darker than before. Slight darkening over time is normal for many e-liquids, particularly those with flavourings that react to light and air. If it also smells off or tastes unpleasant, stop using it.

When to contact us. If a bottle arrives with a broken tamper seal, is leaking, is the wrong flavour or strength, or has an obviously different colour, smell or taste compared to the others in your pack, stop using it and get in touch with the order number and photographs. We will deal with it under our returns policy. If you are having a problem that seems to come from your device rather than the liquid, the device manufacturer or your retailer is the right contact.

Remember that many apparent liquid problems disappear with a new coil. Because coils are cheap relative to a pack of ten bottles, it is worth keeping a spare, especially with sweet fruit liquids that tend to build up residue.

Value for money and how it compares

Value with e-liquid is easiest to judge in pence per millilitre. Take the price shown on the product page for the pack and divide it by 100 to get the cost per millilitre. Do the same for any other bottle you are considering. Because a pack of ten holds 100ml, the number is easy to work out, and multipacks usually come in at a lower cost per bottle than buying ten single bottles separately. Prices on nicotine products change from time to time, so the live price on this page is the figure to use.

It also helps to think about daily cost. At about 2ml a day, a 100ml pack lasts roughly seven weeks, so dividing the pack price by 50 gives you an approximate cost per day. Compared with the cost of a regular cigarette habit, most adult smokers who switch fully to vaping find the running costs lower, though the saving depends on the device, coils and the amount of liquid used. Compared with the single-use vapes that used to dominate the market, refillable devices with bottled liquid are also cheaper per millilitre, and they produce less electronic waste.

How it compares with other ranges. Scripture is one of several brands selling 10ml nic salts in the UK. Others in the same space include Elfliq from Elf Bar, IVG Salts, Pod Salt and Nasty Salt. We have not tasted every flavour from every range, so the comparison below is about format and general trade-offs rather than a verdict on any one flavour.

• Well-known brands such as Elfliq or IVG Salts: usually have a larger flavour catalogue and are easier to find in high-street shops, which can matter if you run out and need a bottle in a hurry. Prices per bottle are often similar, and the choice between them is mostly down to flavour preference.
• Pod Salt and Nasty Salt: have a long track record in the UK salt market and a loyal following for particular flavours. Their strengths and formulations are comparable, and some people simply prefer how their flavours are tuned.
• Scripture in a pack of ten: the main advantage is buying in bulk at a lower cost per bottle, with the convenience of not reordering often. The main drawback is that you commit to one flavour at a time, so there is less room to experiment than if you bought single bottles of several flavours.

If you have not tried Apple & Black before, a sensible approach is to try a single bottle first, if it is available, and move up to the pack of ten once you know it suits you. If you already know you like it, the pack is the more economical route.

Beyond price, the things that decide value are consistency from bottle to bottle, how well the flavour holds up through the life of a coil and whether the nicotine strength suits you, so that you do not waste liquid by over-puffing. A moderate-strength salt in a sweet fruit flavour should suit adult vapers who already use a compatible refillable kit and know they enjoy the taste.

Finally, remember the wider costs. A decent refillable kit, replacement coils, a charging cable and the occasional spare pod all add to the cost of vaping. Factor those in when you compare the total cost against other nicotine products, and use vape-recycling drop-off points for old devices and batteries when the time comes.
