Mix Lab Salts Blueberry Sour Raspberry 10mg: product overview

Mix Lab Salts Blueberry Sour Raspberry is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid from the Mix range, supplied here in 10mg/ml (1%) strength. It is made for refillable pod kits and other low-power vaping devices, and it pairs a ripe blueberry base with a tart, sour-candy edge and a raspberry finish. If you are moving away from smoking, or away from the single-use vapes that are no longer legal to sell in Great Britain, a bottle like this gives you a refillable route that usually costs less per millilitre and creates far less waste.

This page is written for UK vapers who want straight information before they buy. Below you will find the key specifications, an honest description of the flavour, notes on how it performs in typical pod devices, guidance on choosing a nicotine strength, filling instructions, troubleshooting tips and a fair comparison with other ways of vaping.

• Product: Mix Lab Salts Blueberry Sour Raspberry
• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid (often shortened to nic salt)
• Nicotine strength: 10mg/ml, which is 1% nicotine by volume
• Bottle size: 10ml, the largest size UK rules allow for a refill bottle that contains nicotine
• Total nicotine per bottle: 100mg (10ml multiplied by 10mg/ml)
• Flavour family: sweet and sour berry, fruit-candy style
• Suited to: refillable pod kits, mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) devices with coils around 0.6 to 1.2 ohm
• VG/PG ratio: nic salt liquids are commonly balanced near 50VG/50PG, but always check the label on your bottle for the exact ratio

A quick word on what this product is not. It is not a disposable vape, it is not a pod pre-filled at the factory, and it does not contain a battery. It is the liquid only, so you will need a compatible refillable device. That is a deliberate advantage for many people: you choose the hardware, you control the cost, and when the liquid runs out you buy another bottle rather than throwing away a whole device.

As with every nicotine product, this liquid is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers. It is not for anyone under 18, and it is not recommended for people who do not currently use nicotine. Nicotine is addictive, and we would always encourage you to treat vaping as a tool for moving away from tobacco rather than as a lifestyle product.

Flavour profile: what Blueberry Sour Raspberry tastes like

The name tells you most of what you need to know, but the way the three elements are balanced is what decides whether you will enjoy a bottle for a week or abandon it after a day. Blueberry Sour Raspberry sits in the fruit-candy part of the market, rather than the fresh-fruit or dessert part. Think of a sweet berry sweet with a sharp coating, rather than a bowl of berries with cream.

• On the inhale: a rounded, jammy blueberry note leads, with a light acidity that wakes up the front of the tongue. The sour element is a tart, citric-style tang rather than a harsh, mouth-puckering sourness.
• Mid-puff: raspberry comes through as a brighter, slightly seedy red-fruit note that cuts across the deeper blueberry. This is where the sweet-and-sour contrast is most noticeable.
• On the exhale: a lingering sweet-tart finish, similar to the aftertaste of a berry sweet, that fades fairly quickly so the next puff tastes fresh.
• Cooling: the flavour is fruit-led and is not described as an ice or menthol flavour. If you want a chilled effect you would look at a separate iced variant rather than this one.

Sour flavours behave differently from straightforward sweet ones. The tart edge tends to be most noticeable on the first few puffs of a fresh tank or pod, because your palate has not yet adjusted. After a few minutes many vapers find the sourness mellows and the sweeter blueberry base takes over. If you find the first puffs too sharp, try a slightly lower wattage or a longer, slower draw, as cooler vapour usually reads as less acidic.

Because this is a nic salt, the vapour is smoother at its strength than a freebase liquid would be, which lets the flavour come through without a hard throat scratch. At 10mg the throat hit is gentle. You should notice flavour first and nicotine second, which is what most people want from a fruit liquid.

One practical point: strongly flavoured fruit liquids can leave a coating on the tongue after a long session, sometimes called vaper's tongue or flavour fatigue. If you notice the taste fading even though the coil is fresh, a drink of water and a short break often resets your palate. Some vapers keep two flavours on rotation for this reason, for example a berry like this one alongside a menthol or a plain tobacco-style liquid.

We describe flavour from the product name and how this style of liquid generally behaves, because taste is subjective. Your own impression may land a little sweeter or a little sharper depending on your device, your wattage and how your palate responds to sour notes.

Performance and puff delivery

E-liquid does not have a puff count in the way a disposable device does, because the number of puffs depends on your device, your coil and how you vape. What we can do is give realistic planning figures so you know what to expect from a 10ml bottle at 10mg/ml.

• Typical pod capacity: most refillable pod kits hold between 2ml and 3ml per fill.
• Typical puff estimate: a 2ml fill in a low-power MTL pod commonly delivers somewhere in the region of 400 to 600 puffs, depending on puff length and wattage.
• Per bottle: a full 10ml bottle therefore covers roughly 2,000 to 3,000 puffs in a similar setup. Heavier users and higher-wattage devices will use it faster.
• Typical daily use: a moderate nic salt user often goes through around 1.5ml to 3ml a day, so a bottle can last somewhere between three and six days.

These are planning estimates, not guarantees. A short, light draw uses less liquid than a long, hard one. Higher wattage vaporises more liquid per second and shortens the life of a bottle noticeably.

In terms of delivery, nic salt liquids are designed to give a satisfying nicotine hit at lower power, which is why they pair well with small pod devices running between roughly 8W and 20W. At 10mg/ml the nicotine delivery is moderate: noticeable enough to satisfy a lighter smoker or a vaper who has already stepped down, but gentle enough that it does not feel harsh. Heavier smokers often find 10mg too light on its own and move up to a stronger salt, which is covered in the nicotine strength section below.

Vapour production is modest compared with a sub-ohm tank, because this liquid is intended for devices that mimic the tighter, more cigarette-like draw. You will see a visible but not cloud-like vapour, and the flavour is delivered in a compact, concentrated way. Consistency is usually good from the first puff to the last of a fill, provided the coil is in good condition and the pod is not run dry.

If you notice the flavour weakening during a session, the most common causes are a coil approaching the end of its life, a pod running low on liquid, or a device set at too high a wattage for the coil. Each of those is easy to fix, and we cover them in the troubleshooting section.

Bottle design and build quality

Because this product is a liquid, build quality refers to the bottle, the closure and the labelling rather than to a casing or a circuit board. A 10ml bottle for nicotine liquid in the UK must meet specific rules, and you should expect the following features when your order arrives.

• 10ml plastic bottle: the standard size for nicotine refill liquids sold in the UK. Plastic is used because it is lightweight, squeezable and does not shatter if dropped.
• Narrow dropper tip: a long, thin nozzle designed to fit the small fill ports on most pod kits without spilling. If your device has a particularly narrow port, take your time and squeeze gently.
• Child-resistant cap: the cap should need a deliberate push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn motion to open. This is a legal requirement for nicotine liquids, not an optional extra.
• Tamper-evident seal: a ring or seal that shows if the bottle has been opened before use. If the seal is broken when you receive your order, please contact us before using the liquid.
• Health warning and labelling: the label carries the required nicotine warning, the strength, the volume and the batch information you would expect on a UK retail product.

A well-made bottle should keep its seal under normal storage and should not leak through the cap when stored upright. As with all e-liquid, a little residue on the nozzle after filling is normal, so wipe it with a tissue before putting the cap back on.

Keep the bottle upright, in its original packaging if you can, away from direct sunlight and away from heat. Sunlight and warmth can darken the liquid over time and may change the flavour slightly. A cupboard or drawer is ideal. Always store nicotine liquids well out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine can be harmful if swallowed or if it gets on the skin in quantity, so if there is any spillage, wipe it up promptly and wash your hands.

When the bottle is empty, check your local council guidance. Policies differ, and some councils prefer that bottles with nicotine residue go in general waste rather than the kerbside recycling, while others accept clean plastic. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink or into a drain. If a few drops remain, tip them into a tissue and dispose of it with household waste.

We would rather be upfront: the packaging is functional rather than fancy. You are paying for the liquid, and the bottle is designed to do its job safely and reliably.

Device battery and charging: what your pod kit needs

There is no battery in a bottle of e-liquid, but your device battery has a direct effect on how this liquid performs, so it is worth understanding the basics. Most refillable pod kits that suit a 10mg nic salt use internal batteries somewhere between 400mAh and 1,000mAh, with a few larger kits going higher.

• Small pod kits (around 400 to 650mAh): slim and pocketable, usually fixed output between about 8W and 15W. These suit 10mg salts well and often last a day of moderate use between charges.
• Mid-size kits (around 700 to 1,000mAh): longer run time and sometimes adjustable wattage, useful if you like to fine-tune how sour notes come across.
• Larger variable kits: offer more power but are usually built for higher-wattage use, and can be too hot for a low-strength salt if you leave them on high settings.

Charging is almost always by USB-C these days. For safe charging, follow these habits:

• Use the cable supplied with the device, or a reputable replacement, and a standard phone-style plug or computer USB port.
• Do not leave a device charging overnight or unattended, and never charge it under a pillow or on a soft surface.
• Do not use a device with a damaged casing, a swollen battery, or a charging port that looks scorched or loose.
• Keep devices out of hot cars and out of pockets with keys or coins, where short-circuits can occur.

Run time matters for flavour. As a battery runs low, some pod devices deliver less power to the coil, and a sour fruit liquid can taste thinner and flatter as a result. If you notice the flavour drop as the battery dips, a top-up charge usually restores it.

When a device or its battery reaches the end of its life, do not put it in your household bin or your kerbside recycling. Vapes and lithium batteries are classed as waste electrical equipment, and damaged batteries are a genuine fire risk in bin lorries and recycling plants. Take them to a vape-recycling drop-off point instead. Many UK vape shops and larger retailers that sell vaping products provide take-back bins, and most council household waste recycling centres have a small electricals container. You can use the postcode finder on the Recycle Your Electricals website to locate your nearest drop-off point.

If you are weighing up a first device, ask whether it has a replaceable pod or coil, a battery size that suits your day, and a wattage range that matches nic salt use. A kit that does those three things will treat this liquid well.

Coil and mesh compatibility

The coil is the heating element that turns liquid into vapour, and the right match makes a noticeable difference to the flavour of a sour fruit liquid. Nic salts are designed for low-wattage, higher-resistance coils, so look for the following when you choose or replace one.

• Resistance: between roughly 0.6 ohm and 1.2 ohm is the usual range for nic salt pod use. Lower values suit a looser draw, higher values suit a tighter, cigarette-like draw.
• Mesh coils: a flat mesh heating surface covers a larger area than a traditional round wire, which tends to give faster ramp-up, more even heating and a fuller flavour. Mesh is common in current pod systems and works well with fruit liquids.
• Ceramic coils: known for clean flavour and long life, with a wick that tolerates sweeter liquids reasonably well. They can take a moment to prime, so wait before your first puff.
• Standard cotton wire coils: still widely used and affordable, and a sensible option if your device was supplied with them.

For this liquid, a coil rated for nicotine salts in the 8W to 20W region is the safest starting point. Most pod coils print a recommended wattage range on the pack or on the coil itself. Starting at the lower end of that range and working up in small steps will help you find the setting where the blueberry and raspberry notes taste rounded, without the sour element becoming sharp.

A point worth knowing: sweet liquids, including fruit-candy styles, tend to leave sugar-like residue on coils over time. This is a normal result of heating sweeteners and flavourings, and it is why coils for sweet flavours usually need replacing more often than coils for tobacco or menthol flavours. As a rough guide, many vapers replace a coil every one to two weeks with regular use, although the real figure varies with wattage, puff habits and how long a bottle takes to finish.

Signs that a coil is ready for replacement include a burnt or flat taste, a gurgling sound, reduced vapour, or a noticeable drop in flavour that does not improve after priming. Always prime a new coil by adding a few drops of liquid directly to the wick openings, then waiting a few minutes before you use it. Dry-firing a fresh coil is the quickest way to ruin it.

If your device uses a sub-ohm tank with coils below 0.5 ohm, this liquid is not an ideal fit. It is a nic salt designed for lower power, and high wattage can make the vapour harsh and use the liquid quickly. In that case, a freebase liquid in a lower strength is a more suitable choice.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 10mg right for you?

Choosing the right strength is the most important decision you will make with any nicotine liquid. Too low, and you may keep reaching for cigarettes. Too high, and you may feel lightheaded, nauseous or uncomfortable. The strength on this bottle is 10mg/ml, which is 1% nicotine.

In the UK, nicotine e-liquids are capped at 20mg/ml, and the same 20mg/ml ceiling applies to pre-filled and disposable-style products as well. That means the 10mg/ml strength here sits at the halfway point of what is legally available. You will not find a legal UK bottle stronger than 20mg/ml, so if a seller offers something higher, treat it with suspicion.

• Around 5mg/ml or below (salt): for people who already use very little nicotine and want to taper off.
• 10mg/ml (this product): a moderate strength. It is commonly chosen by lighter smokers, people who have already reduced their intake, and vapers who find 20mg too strong.
• 20mg/ml: the highest legal UK strength, usually chosen by people leaving a heavier smoking habit or those who vape very little liquid in a day.

As a general rule of thumb, which is not medical advice, someone who smoked roughly ten cigarettes a day or fewer often starts around 10mg/ml in a nic salt, and someone who smoked a packet a day more often begins at 20mg/ml. Everyone is different, and your own comfort should guide you.

Signs that your strength is too low include constant cravings, taking many more puffs than you expected, and returning to cigarettes. Signs that it is too high include dizziness, headaches, a racing heart, nausea, or a harsh feeling in the throat and chest. If you notice the second group, stop vaping, drink water, and consider moving down a step.

Another factor is how you use your device. A very small pod with restricted airflow delivers more nicotine per puff than a larger, open-draw device, so the same strength can feel different in different hardware. If you switch from a tight MTL pod to a looser device, you might find 10mg feels lighter than before.

Nic salts are different from freebase nicotine. The salt form is paired with an acid to make the vapour feel smoother at a given strength, so a 10mg salt can feel more satisfying than a 10mg freebase while being gentler on the throat. Do not assume a salt and a freebase of the same milligram figure will feel identical.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition, or are taking prescribed medication, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using any nicotine product. The NHS also offers free stop-smoking support if your goal is to quit nicotine entirely.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should skip it

No liquid suits everyone. Here is an honest breakdown of who tends to enjoy Blueberry Sour Raspberry at 10mg and who is likely to be happier with something different.

This is likely to suit:

• Adult smokers who want a lighter, fruit-flavoured alternative to tobacco and are comfortable with a moderate nicotine strength.
• Former disposable vape users looking for a refillable setup after the move away from single-use products.
• Existing nic salt users who like sweet and sour fruit flavours and want to rotate something new into their lineup.
• Vapers using small MTL pod kits who want a smooth throat hit and a flavour-forward experience.
• People looking to reduce nicotine gradually who find 20mg too strong but 5mg too light.

You may want to look elsewhere if:

• You are a heavy smoker who needs a strong nicotine hit. A 20mg/ml salt, or a higher-strength approach recommended by a stop-smoking adviser, may be a better fit than 10mg.
• You dislike tart or sour flavours. The sour element is part of the identity of this liquid, so it will not suit people who prefer purely sweet or creamy profiles.
• You use a high-wattage sub-ohm tank. Nic salts are not designed for that kind of setup.
• You do not currently smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive and these products are not intended for people who do not already use nicotine.
• You are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and we will not do so.

If you are new to refillable vaping, the learning curve is gentle but real. You will need to learn how to fill a pod, how to prime a coil and how to spot when a coil needs replacing. None of it is difficult, and this page walks you through each step. If you would rather have a no-fuss, no-filling experience, a pre-filled closed-pod system might appeal more, though it generally costs more over time and produces more waste.

Finally, consider variety. Many vapers enjoy one or two fruit flavours, but find that vaping the same liquid all day eventually dulls their sense of taste for it. If you think you are the kind of person who gets bored easily, you might pair this bottle with a contrasting flavour so that you always have a second option available.

How to use and fill your device

Filling a refillable pod takes a minute once you have done it a couple of times. Follow these steps for a clean, leak-free fill with this 10ml bottle.

• Step 1, switch off and unplug: make sure the device is off and is not charging.
• Step 2, remove the pod: take the pod or tank out of the device, and check where the fill port is. Many pods have a rubber bung or a sliding cover that you open before filling.
• Step 3, open the bottle: press and turn the child-resistant cap as indicated on the label. Keep the bottle upright while you do so to avoid spills.
• Step 4, fill slowly: place the nozzle into the fill port and squeeze gently. Fill to just below the maximum line, leaving a small air gap. Do not fill all the way to the brim, since an overfilled pod can leak into the airflow channel or the mouthpiece.
• Step 5, close up: wipe any drips from the pod, close the bung or cover, and put the cap back on the bottle.
• Step 6, let it settle: reinsert the pod and wait about five minutes before your first puff, especially with a fresh coil. This lets the wick soak up liquid and helps prevent a burnt taste.
• Step 7, take a few gentle puffs: start with short, slow draws to confirm that the flavour is clear and the vapour is flowing.

For a good technique with a nic salt, take slow, steady mouth-to-lung draws of two to four seconds, and hold the vapour in your mouth briefly before inhaling it. Quick, hard pulls tend to feel harsher and use more liquid than necessary.

Some practical tips to help you get steady use out of every bottle:

• Pace yourself during the first few days. A new liquid often tastes stronger when your palate is fresh.
• Do not mix different brands of liquid in the same pod. If you want to change flavour, empty and rinse the pod with warm water, dry it fully and refill.
• Do not add flavour concentrates, additives or other nicotine products to a bottle of ready-made liquid.
• Do not store a half-filled pod for weeks in your pocket. Sweet liquids can seep into the coil area and cause flooding.
• Wash your hands after filling, and wipe up any spills on surfaces straight away.

If you are moving from a different strength or style of liquid, give yourself a few days to adjust. Your body and your palate both take time to settle, and early impressions are not always the final ones.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with refillable vaping have simple fixes. Use this list before you assume the liquid is faulty.

• Burnt or harsh taste: usually a coil that is dry, new but unprimed, or worn out. Prime a fresh coil properly, avoid chain vaping, and replace the coil if the burnt taste persists after a refill. Lowering the wattage a little also helps.
• Weak or washed-out flavour: check that the pod has enough liquid, that the coil is not clogged, and that the battery is charged. Sweet and sour liquids can gunk up a coil faster than a plain tobacco flavour, so a new coil often restores the taste.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the airflow path or condensation in the mouthpiece. Wipe the mouthpiece, blow gently through the pod to clear the chimney, and avoid overfilling.
• Leaking pod: often caused by overfilling, a worn seal or a cracked pod. Fill below the maximum line, make sure the bung is seated properly, and replace the pod if the leak continues.
• Too sharp or sour: lower the wattage, slow your draw, or let the pod rest for a few minutes after a refill. Some people find the sourness settles after a day of use.
• Dizziness, headache or nausea: a sign you may be taking in more nicotine than you are used to. Stop, take a break, drink water, and consider a lower strength.
• Device will not fire: check the battery, make sure the pod is seated firmly, and clean the contact points with a dry cotton bud. Some devices lock out if the coil has failed.
• Liquid darker than expected: fruit liquids can darken with age or light exposure. A mild colour change is not necessarily a problem, but if the smell or taste has changed noticeably, stop using it and contact us.

If you have tried these steps and something still seems wrong with the liquid itself, such as an unusual smell, visible contamination or a broken seal, stop using it and get in touch. Keep the bottle and the packaging, and have your order number to hand so that we can look into it quickly.

Do not use any liquid that you suspect is contaminated or that has been stored somewhere very hot. If you or someone else has swallowed liquid, or it has got into the eyes, seek medical advice immediately and keep the bottle to show the label.

Value for money

The main reason many vapers choose refillable liquids over disposables is cost. A single 10ml bottle contains enough liquid to fill a typical pod several times, and the price per millilitre is usually well below the price of a pre-filled device holding a similar volume of liquid. Check the product page for the current price, because we do not want to quote a figure that may have changed.

Here is a more realistic way to think about the cost of vaping with this liquid. There are three main running costs:

• The liquid itself: a 10ml bottle that lasts you between three and six days at moderate use.
• Replacement coils or pods: typically replaced every one to two weeks, depending on how heavily you vape and how sweet the liquid is.
• Device and charging: a one-off outlay for the kit, plus a very small amount of electricity.

Add these together and most regular vapers find a refillable setup considerably cheaper per week than a stream of single-use devices or a daily packet of cigarettes. Your own results will depend on your habits, so we encourage you to track your spending over a month rather than rely on a headline figure.

Where the value of this specific liquid sits depends on what you want. If you enjoy sour fruit flavours, a nic salt at 10mg is a sensible mid-point: it is not so strong that you burn through it feeling unwell, and not so light that you find yourself taking constant puffs to compensate. A stronger bottle is not automatically better value if you only need a moderate hit, and a lighter bottle is not better value if it leaves you unsatisfied.

Environmental cost matters too. A refillable device with a replaceable coil produces far less waste than a long run of single-use products. Taking worn devices, batteries and spent pods to a proper drop-off point rather than putting them in the bin keeps materials in circulation and reduces fire risk.

Finally, consider the cost of getting it wrong. Buying a strength that does not suit you, or a flavour you do not like, is where money is wasted. If you are not sure whether you will like a sour berry, it can be sensible to start with one bottle and see how you get on before stocking up. Take a look at our current offers and bundle options on the product page, as these change from time to time.

How it compares with alternatives

It is easy to claim that a liquid beats the competition. We would rather give you the fair picture, including where other options may suit you better.

Against other nic salt fruit liquids: there are plenty of sweet-and-sour berry liquids from other UK brands in 10ml bottles at 10mg and 20mg. The core differences usually come down to how pronounced the sourness is, how sweet the base is, and how the price per bottle works out. If you like a stronger sour kick, you might find a more aggressively tart blue raspberry liquid appeals more. If you prefer a mellower fruit blend, a straightforward blueberry or mixed berry might be preferable. Blueberry Sour Raspberry sits between the two: tart enough to be distinctive, but balanced by a rounded berry base.

Against freebase nicotine liquids: freebase liquids are typically found in 3mg, 6mg and 12mg strengths and are better suited to higher-wattage devices and sub-ohm tanks. They produce bigger clouds and a different throat feel. If you use a pod kit and want smooth nicotine at low power, a nic salt like this is the more natural match. If you use a larger tank at higher power, a freebase is the better choice.

Against pre-filled pod systems: closed pod kits use sealed, factory-filled pods. They are very convenient, because there is no filling and no mess, but the pods cost more over time and you are limited to the flavours the manufacturer makes. A refillable pod with a bottle like this takes slightly more effort but gives you greater choice and a lower running cost.

Against disposable vapes: single-use disposables can no longer be sold in Great Britain, and they were always limited by the same 20mg/ml cap and 2ml tank size that applies to other pre-filled products. Compared with them, a refillable setup has a higher upfront cost for the kit, but a lower cost per day, less waste and more control over strength and flavour. Where disposables still win is on pure simplicity, and that simplicity is no longer a legal option for new purchases.

Against nicotine replacement therapy (NRT): patches, gum and lozenges are well-evidenced stop-smoking aids available through pharmacies and the NHS. Vaping is not a medicine, and anyone who wants support to quit nicotine altogether should consider speaking to a local stop-smoking service. Many people use both approaches at different stages.

In short, this liquid is a solid, sensible choice if you like sour berry flavours, want a moderate nic salt strength and use a low-power pod device. It is not the right choice for everyone, and we would rather you know that before you buy.
