Overview: what Mix Lab Salts Kiwi Passionfruit Guava is

Mix Lab Salts 10mg Kiwi Passionfruit Guava is a nicotine salt e-liquid from the Mix brand, built around a three-fruit tropical blend and sold at a 10mg/ml nicotine strength. Nic salt liquids use nicotine that has been combined with an acid, which is why they feel smoother at a given strength than traditional freebase liquids. That smoothness is the reason salts have become the default choice for low-powered pod kits and small refillable devices, where gentle, quick-absorbing nicotine delivery matters more than huge clouds.

This listing is written for UK adults who already vape, or who are moving away from smoking and want a refillable setup. Since disposable vapes were banned from sale in Great Britain in June 2025, bottled liquid in a reusable pod kit is the standard way to get a flavour-led, low-effort vape. A single 10ml bottle holds five times the liquid of a typical 2ml disposable, and the device it goes into can be used for many months, so both the waste and the running cost come down.

The quick facts, at a glance:

• Brand and range: Mix, Lab Salts series
• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, ready to vape with no mixing or shaking required beyond a gentle turn of the bottle
• Flavour: kiwi, passionfruit and guava
• Nicotine strength: 10mg/ml, which is 1.0% and exactly half of the UK legal maximum of 20mg/ml
• Bottle size: 10ml, the largest size allowed for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK
• Total nicotine in the bottle: about 100mg (10ml at 10mg/ml)
• Suited to: pod kits and low-wattage refillable devices, roughly 6W to 18W
• VG/PG ratio: printed on the bottle label, and worth checking before you buy because it affects wicking speed and throat feel

The name does not mention any cooling or menthol element, so you should expect a straight fruit profile rather than a fruit-and-ice one. If cooling matters to you, check the label and the product images for any added coolant before ordering. The rest of this guide covers flavour, how many puffs to expect from a bottle, which coils and devices suit it, how to choose between nicotine strengths, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Flavour profile: kiwi, passionfruit and guava

Three tropical fruits in one bottle is a combination that can go wrong if one fruit dominates, so it helps to understand what each contributes. In e-liquid flavouring, kiwi typically supplies a green, slightly tart top note with a juicy sweetness. Passionfruit brings a sharper, aromatic acidity with a floral edge. Guava is the softest of the three, usually rendered as a rounded, faintly musky sweetness that sits underneath the others and gives the blend some body.

On the inhale, expect the kiwi and passionfruit to arrive first, since sharp and acidic notes tend to register at the front of the palate. The guava usually takes over on the exhale and lingers as a mellow, sweet finish. That structure, tart on the way in and smooth on the way out, is what makes a three-fruit combination work for many vapers: something is happening throughout the puff rather than one flat note repeating itself.

A few practical points change how the flavour comes across:

• Wattage: fruit blends taste clearer at the lower end of your coil's recommended range. Turning the power up tends to flatten the tart notes and push the sweetness forward.
• Airflow: a tighter draw concentrates flavour. If the blend tastes thin, close the airflow a notch before you touch the power.
• Coil age: sweet liquids build residue on the coil over time. If the passionfruit edge disappears and everything tastes muddy, the coil is the usual suspect rather than the bottle.
• Nicotine strength: at 10mg the nicotine does not mask the flavour the way a stronger salt can, so the fruit notes stay clearer than they would at 20mg.

Sweetness sits in the middle of the range. This is not a dessert liquid and it is not a sour-sweets profile, but it is a fruit-juice style that contains sweeteners, as most commercial fruit e-liquids do. Sweetener load is one reason to change your coil on a regular schedule. If you find sweet liquids cloying after a few days, rotate this bottle with a drier flavour such as a plain tobacco or a mint. That also helps with vaper's tongue, the temporary dulling of taste that comes from using one flavour all day.

Flavour perception varies from person to person and sometimes between batches, so treat this as a reasoned description of the profile the name points to rather than a promise. If you are new to tropical blends, kiwi-led liquids are usually an easy entry point, because the tartness stops the sweetness from becoming heavy.

Performance and puff delivery

Because this is a liquid rather than a complete device, performance depends on the hardware you put it in. What the liquid itself determines is nicotine delivery per puff, vapour density and how quickly you get through the bottle. In a pod kit, a salt blend of this type should give moderate vapour, a smooth throat hit at 10mg and quicker nicotine uptake than a freebase liquid of the same strength.

The most common question is how many puffs a 10ml bottle gives. There is no honest single number, because puff length, wattage and airflow all change how much liquid is vaporised. These are planning estimates based on typical pod-kit consumption, not manufacturer claims:

• Short, gentle puffs at low power (around 8W to 10W): about 0.005ml per puff, which works out at roughly 2,000 puffs per bottle
• Average puffs at moderate power (around 10W to 14W): about 0.007ml per puff, roughly 1,400 puffs
• Long, hard puffs at the top of the range (14W to 18W): about 0.01ml per puff, roughly 1,000 puffs

Some liquid is always left in the pod or soaked into a retired coil, so treat those figures as the upper end. For most people using a pod kit through the day, a bottle lasts somewhere between one and three weeks. Puff counts printed on disposable packaging are generally produced by a machine taking short, evenly spaced draws, and real-world numbers are usually lower. Estimating from millilitres is a fairer yardstick, and on that basis a 10ml bottle outlasts a 2ml disposable several times over.

Nicotine delivery is the other half of performance. A full bottle holds about 100mg of nicotine in total, but only a fraction of that reaches your bloodstream, and how much depends on puff length, power and how quickly you take successive puffs. Salt nicotine is absorbed faster than freebase, which is why many smokers find it more satisfying at a lower strength and why a modest 10mg can feel adequate for moderate use.

Throat hit at 10mg is soft. Many vapers describe it as a light tickle rather than the scratch they might get from a 12mg or 18mg freebase liquid. If the hit feels sharp, lower the power before you change anything else, because heat is the biggest single contributor to harshness. If it feels too weak, the usual answer is a higher strength rather than more wattage, since extra power mostly burns through liquid faster without adding much satisfaction.

Vapour production is moderate by design. Salts are meant for tight, mouth-to-lung or restricted direct-to-lung draws on low-power coils, so do not expect the large clouds you would get from a high-VG liquid in a sub-ohm tank.

Design and build quality of the bottle

With bottled e-liquid, design comes down to the bottle, the cap and the label, and these matter more than they seem because you handle them every time you refill. UK rules require nicotine e-liquid to be sold in containers of no more than 10ml, with a child-resistant and tamper-evident closure, a health warning on the label, a list of ingredients, the nicotine strength and a batch number. A bottle that follows those rules should reach you with an intact tamper-evident ring on the cap or a sealed band.

The standard format for a nic salt of this kind is a soft, squeezable plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, built so the tip fits into a pod's fill port without drips. Squeezable plastic lets you control the flow, and it also means the bottle can be pressed back to expel air before you cap it. Check the nozzle diameter against your device: most modern pod fill ports accept a standard fine-tip bottle, but a few slim ports are fussy, in which case a small blunt-tip filling needle can help.

When your order arrives, it is worth running through a short checklist:

• The tamper-evident ring or outer seal is unbroken
• The label shows the nicotine strength (10mg/ml), the ingredients and a batch code
• The cap turns and clicks as a child-resistant closure should, and does not feel cracked or loose
• There is no residue around the neck or on the outside of the bottle, which can indicate a leak in transit
• The liquid colour is clear to light amber or fruit-tinted rather than murky

Colour is not a defect. Many e-liquids darken slowly with age and exposure to light and air, and fruit blends may drift towards amber. A change in colour is not usually a safety problem, but a change in taste or smell can mean the liquid has gone off.

Storage affects how long the liquid keeps its character. Keep the bottle upright, tightly closed, out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or a warm car, and well out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is toxic if swallowed and can be absorbed through the skin, so wipe up spills straight away and wash your hands after refilling. Most e-liquids carry a best-before date of around one to two years from manufacture, which is printed on the bottle or its box. Once opened, aim to finish the bottle within a few months to keep the flavour sharp.

Battery and charging: what to expect from your device

An e-liquid has no battery of its own, so battery life depends on the device you use. Nic salt liquids are normally paired with pod kits and small mods, whose batteries range from about 400mAh in slim pen-style pods to 1,000mAh or more in larger kits. Here is how to estimate what that means for daily use with this liquid.

A simple rule: energy per puff equals power in watts multiplied by puff length in seconds. A 12W device taking a three-second puff uses 36 watt-seconds, or about 0.01Wh. A 1,000mAh cell at 3.7V stores around 3.7Wh, so in ideal conditions that is roughly 370 puffs. Allowing for efficiency losses and the low-voltage cutoff built into the device, 250 to 350 real puffs per charge is a sensible expectation. A 500mAh pod kit running at 10W will manage roughly 150 to 200 puffs. Against the 1,000 to 2,000 puffs a bottle can supply, that means a bottle will take several full charges to finish.

Practical guidance for choosing and caring for the battery side of your setup:

• Match capacity to your habits: light users are fine with 400mAh to 600mAh, while anyone vaping through the day should look at 800mAh or above, or carry a spare charge
• Use the supplied USB-C cable and a standard 5V wall adapter or computer port. Fast chargers are not needed and some budget ones deliver unstable output
• Typical charging time is 45 to 90 minutes for most pod kits. Unplug when the indicator shows full
• Do not charge unattended overnight, and never charge on a bed, sofa or near anything flammable
• Stop using a device immediately if the case swells, gets unusually hot or the cable is frayed
• Avoid heat: do not leave the device in a parked car or direct sun

Lower power also extends battery life. Running this liquid at the lower end of your coil's range saves charge, keeps the flavour clean and uses less liquid, so you are not giving anything up.

When a battery or device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household rubbish or kerbside recycling, where damaged lithium cells are a fire risk in collection vehicles. Under UK waste electrical rules, retailers that sell vape hardware must offer take-back, and many vape shops will accept old devices. You can also use a household waste recycling centre or search for your nearest drop-off point on the Recycle Your Electricals website.

Coil and mesh technology: choosing the right hardware

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and the right match makes a bigger difference to this liquid than any other single factor. Salt nicotine is designed for low-power coils, typically between 0.6 ohm and 1.2 ohm, which keep the temperature down and deliver nicotine efficiently without wasting liquid.

The main coil types you will meet, and how they suit a fruit salt:

• Mesh coils (0.6 to 0.8 ohm): a flat sheet of woven metal that heats a wide surface evenly. Mesh tends to give strong, consistent flavour and slightly warmer vapour, and works well at around 12W to 16W. It is a good fit for tart-and-sweet fruit blends because it reproduces the top notes clearly.
• Round wire coils (0.8 to 1.2 ohm): a traditional wire wound round a cotton wick. These run at lower power, usually 8W to 12W, and suit tighter mouth-to-lung draws. Flavour is a little more concentrated and the liquid use is lower.
• Ceramic coils: a porous ceramic core that resists burning and is often used in closed pods. Ceramic gives clean, neutral flavour reproduction and is forgiving of light dry hits, though it can feel slightly less intense with citrus-style acidity.

Liquid thickness matters for wicking. A 50/50 style salt flows easily through most coils, which makes it a good match for small cotton-wick pods. A thicker, higher-VG liquid can starve a small coil and cause dry hits, so check the VG/PG ratio on the label against your device's recommended range before filling.

Coil life depends on how much you vape and on the liquid itself. Sweet fruit blends leave caramelised residue on the coil sooner than clear, drier flavours, so expect a coil to last roughly one to three weeks for regular use. Warning signs include a muted or burnt taste, gurgling, less vapour and a harsher hit. Replace the coil or the pod as soon as you notice these rather than pushing through, because a tired coil makes any liquid taste poor.

Always prime a fresh coil before the first puff. Drip a few drops straight onto the exposed cotton or mesh, fill the pod, then wait at least five to ten minutes so the liquid soaks through. A dry coil fired on the first puff is the most common cause of a burnt taste and premature coil failure.

Sub-ohm tanks are a poor match. They run at 40W or more and are designed for high-VG liquids at low nicotine strengths. A 10mg salt pushed through that kind of coil would use liquid at several times the normal rate and give a harsh, hot draw.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 10mg right for you?

Choosing a strength is the decision that most affects whether a switch from smoking sticks. The UK caps e-liquids at 20mg/ml of nicotine, and the same ceiling applies to disposable pods, so the strengths you will see on shelves range from very low up to that 20mg limit. This bottle sits at 10mg/ml, which is half of the maximum and a common middle option for salts.

As a general starting point, not medical advice:

• 20mg salt: usually chosen by people who smoked around 15 or more cigarettes a day, or who are early in a switch and need strong satisfaction to avoid going back to smoking
• 10mg salt: a sensible middle step for moderate smokers (roughly 5 to 15 a day), for people who have settled into vaping and want to step down, and for anyone who finds 20mg too harsh or gets lightheaded on it
• 5mg salt or lower: for light smokers, for people close to quitting nicotine entirely, or for those who vape almost continuously and would otherwise take in a lot of nicotine

Salt nicotine is absorbed faster than freebase, so a given number on the label behaves differently. Many vapers find that a 10mg salt feels broadly like a mid-single-digit freebase in terms of satisfaction, with a softer throat. That is an approximation rather than a rule, so adjust to how you feel.

Signs the strength is too high include nausea, dizziness, a racing heart, headaches and a persistent sore throat. If you notice any of these, stop vaping, drink water and move to a lower strength. Signs it is too low include taking far more puffs than usual, cravings returning within an hour and sneaking cigarettes. In that case moving up to 20mg for a short period is better than relapsing.

A sensible plan for anyone using vaping to stop smoking is to start at a strength that stops you reaching for cigarettes, hold there for a few weeks, then step down gradually, for example 20mg, then 10mg, then 5mg. NHS stop-smoking services can give free support and advice alongside vaping, and are worth contacting.

Vaping is not risk-free. Nicotine is addictive, and vapes are intended for adult smokers rather than for non-smokers or anyone under 18. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using nicotine products.

Who Mix Lab Salts Kiwi Passionfruit Guava is for

This liquid suits a fairly specific group of adult users, and it is worth being honest about who will get the most from it and who is better off elsewhere.

Good matches:

• Adult smokers switching to vaping who want a nicotine salt at a moderate strength and have a pod kit or small refillable device
• Existing vapers on 20mg salts who want to step down without moving to a completely different style of vaping
• Fruit-flavour fans who like tart, juicy notes with a soft sweet finish rather than sugary dessert profiles
• Former disposable users looking for a lower-cost, lower-waste route after the 2025 disposable ban, who liked the convenience of low-power draws
• People who prefer to refill at home and are happy to learn a simple fill-and-prime routine in exchange for better value

Not a good match:

• Anyone under 18, and anyone who has never smoked or used nicotine. Nicotine is addictive and vapes are not intended for non-smokers
• People who want ice or menthol. This is a plain fruit profile, and a cooling blend would suit you better
• Cloud chasers using sub-ohm tanks at high wattage. Salts are for low-power devices and this strength would be wasted
• Vapers who dislike sweet liquids. Even a tart-leaning fruit blend contains sweeteners, so a tobacco or mint flavour may feel more natural
• Anyone who needs a higher nicotine hit to avoid returning to cigarettes. A 20mg salt, or a different delivery product such as nicotine replacement therapy, may serve you better

The liquid also works well for people who vape lightly through the day rather than in long sessions. At 10mg, you can take more frequent puffs without the nicotine stacking up as it would at 20mg, and the bottle stretches further at low power.

Finally, think about hardware before you buy. If you do not yet own a compatible device, you will need a pod kit or small tank before this bottle is useful. A starter kit with a 0.8 ohm or similar coil and a battery of 600mAh or more is a reasonable base. Compatibility is the biggest reason a new vaper ends up disappointed with an otherwise decent liquid.

How to use: filling, priming and first puffs

Using bottled salt liquid is simple once you have done it a couple of times. The steps below suit most refillable pod kits, though your device manual always takes priority.

• Switch the device off if it has a power button, and wash and dry your hands. Work over a clean surface in case of a spill.
• Remove the pod or open the tank by following the manufacturer's instructions. Many pods have a small silicone plug that you pull or slide back to expose the fill port.
• Open the bottle by pushing down and turning the child-resistant cap. Give the bottle a gentle swirl first.
• Fill slowly by placing the nozzle in the fill port and squeezing gently. Stop at the max line, or leave a small air gap at the top. Never cover the central airflow tube or the air inlet with liquid.
• Close the port and reseat the pod. Wipe off any spilled liquid from the outside of the pod and from your hands.
• Wait five to ten minutes so the cotton can saturate, especially with a new coil.
• Take two or three gentle puffs without pressing the fire button for long, then settle into your normal rhythm.
• Reseal the bottle fully with the child-resistant cap and store it upright.

Settings: start at the lowest wattage your coil recommends and increase in small steps of half a watt until the flavour is full without the vapour feeling hot. If your device has adjustable airflow, begin around halfway closed for mouth-to-lung style puffs.

Technique matters. Draw slowly, for two to four seconds, and let the vapour sit in your mouth for a moment before inhaling. Fast, long pulls overwhelm a small coil and produce a hot, harsh vapour with little extra flavour. Take a short rest between puffs so the coil can re-wet, and avoid chain-vaping.

Topping up: do not wait until the pod is empty. Refill when the level is around a quarter full, which keeps the coil wet and avoids dry hits. Do not top up to the very brim.

Switching flavours: before swapping to another liquid, empty the pod, wipe it dry, and ideally change the coil or pod, because fruit sweeteners cling to the cotton and will flavour whatever comes next. If you only change bottle and do not replace the coil, expect the previous flavour to come through for several puffs.

Safe handling: keep the bottle away from children and pets, wash any skin contact with soap and water straight away, and never decant into unlabeled or food containers.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with salt liquids come down to the coil, the fill or the power setting rather than the liquid. Work through these in order before deciding the bottle itself is at fault.

• Burnt or dry taste: usually a coil that was not primed or is running low on liquid. Refill the pod, wait ten minutes, and take gentle puffs. If the taste persists, the coil is worn and needs replacing.
• Weak or muted flavour: three common causes are a tired coil, vaper's tongue, and too much airflow. Replace the coil, take a day or two off this flavour, and close the airflow slightly. Drinking water between puffs helps reset the palate.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much condensation or over-filled pods. Blow out the airflow channel gently, wipe the mouthpiece, and avoid filling above the line.
• Leaking from the pod or device: check that the pod is seated fully, the plug is shut and the coil is screwed in tight. Leaks can also follow a flight or temperature change, so fill the pod only partway before travelling.
• Hot or harsh vapour: power is too high for the coil, or the coil is running dry. Lower the wattage and lengthen the pause between puffs.
• Throat irritation or coughing: try a lower strength, lower power and a slower draw. Staying hydrated also helps, since vaping can leave the throat dry.
• No vapour at all: check the battery charge, make sure the pod contacts are clean and dry, and confirm the pod is seated correctly. A completely blocked airflow or a short circuit light on the device means you should stop and inspect it.
• Sticky pod or bottle residue: wipe with a damp cloth. Sugary residue is normal on fruit liquids, but a pod that is constantly wet on the outside is leaking.
• Dizziness, nausea or sweating: you are taking in more nicotine than you are used to. Stop, sit down, drink water and consider a lower strength.

When changing the liquid does not fix a problem, test the device with a different bottle or a fresh coil. This is the quickest way to tell whether the issue lies with the hardware or the e-liquid. If you suspect the bottle itself is faulty, for example because it smells off, has separated, or arrived with a broken seal, stop using it, keep the batch number and contact us with your order details.

For safety, stop using any device that overheats, produces a burning smell from the battery, or has visible damage. Do not try to repair lithium batteries yourself.

Value for money

Judging value on a bottle of salt liquid means looking beyond the shelf price and considering what it costs you per day of use. A 10ml bottle is a small container, but it goes further than most people expect, and the accompanying costs are modest.

A simple way to work it out: take the current price shown on this page, divide by the number of puffs you realistically expect, then add a share of coil cost. As an illustrative example only, if a bottle cost around £4 and gave 1,400 puffs, that is under 0.3p per puff. If a replacement coil or pod at around £2.50 lasts for two bottles, add roughly another 0.1p per puff. Check the live price in the listing, because it changes, and look for multi-buy offers if you plan to use several bottles.

Here is how this style of product compares on cost:

• Against disposables: disposables are no longer sold in Great Britain, but their price-per-puff was typically higher than refilling, and the device was thrown away after one use. A reusable kit and bottled liquid usually work out cheaper after the first one or two bottles.
• Against cigarettes: a daily bottle of liquid and a coil comes to a small fraction of the cost of a packet of twenty, particularly with current UK tobacco duty. This is one reason many switchers cite for staying with vaping.
• Against 50ml shortfills: shortfills are cheaper per millilitre and need nicotine shots to reach a strength, but they are designed for higher-power devices. For a pod kit, a ready-mixed 10ml salt is far simpler.
• Against closed prefilled pods: proprietary pods tie you to one brand and flavour range. Bottled liquid lets you choose, so you can shop on price.

What you are paying for beyond liquid cost is convenience and consistency. A pre-mixed salt at 10mg means no measuring, no shots and no guesswork about strength. For a casual user, that is worth a small premium over mixing your own.

There are real limits to the value case. If you use a sub-ohm tank at high power, the bottle will not last long and a larger shortfill is the better choice. If you dislike the flavour, even the cheapest bottle is wasted money, so if you are unsure, try a single bottle before buying several. Poor storage also wastes value: a half-used bottle left in a warm place can lose flavour within weeks.

Overall, the value argument for this liquid rests on a sensible match between device, strength and habits, not on any claim that it beats every alternative on price.

How it compares with other UK nic salt ranges

The UK 10ml nic salt market is crowded, and it would be unhelpful to pretend this liquid wins every comparison. Here is a fair view of how it sits against common alternatives, keeping in mind that ranges change and you should check current labels.

• Elfliq (Elf Bar's liquid range): widely stocked and familiar to former disposable users, with a large selection of fruit and ice flavours, generally offered in 10ml salts at 10mg and 20mg. If you want a cooling profile or an exact copy of a disposable flavour, it has more choice. Mix Lab Salts may appeal more if you prefer a straight fruit profile without a coolant.
• Nasty Salt: a long-established range known for bold, sweet and sour flavours. It is a good comparison point if you want an intense, sweet fruit hit. The Mix blend described here reads as a gentler tropical mix, so which suits you depends on how strong you like your sweetness.
• Dinner Lady Salts: known for dessert and fruit-confection profiles, and often priced a little higher. It is a sensible alternative if you want richer, creamier flavours, and a poor one if you want a clean fruit juice.
• IVG Salts: another major name with a broad selection and plenty of fruit and ice combinations. Competition here is on flavour range and price rather than on any difference in nicotine delivery.
• Budget supermarket-style ranges: usually cheaper, with flavour depth that varies by flavour. The trade-off is consistency.

Because all of these use the same nicotine salt chemistry, the practical differences come down to flavour accuracy, sweetness level, VG/PG ratio, price and whether cooling agents are added. None of them delivers a measurable nicotine advantage at the same labelled strength. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling, not informing.

Where Mix Lab Salts Kiwi Passionfruit Guava has a specific appeal is its three-fruit tropical composition without a menthol layer. If you have already tried single-fruit flavours and find them one-note, a blend of this kind is an easy next step. If you have always preferred ice or sweets, you can stay where you are.

Wherever you buy, look for the compliance information on the label and buy from UK retailers that verify age at the point of sale. When a bottle is empty, rinse and recycle the plastic according to your local council's rules, and take used pods, coils and batteries to a retailer take-back scheme or household waste recycling centre rather than binning them. Recycling points can be found through Recycle Your Electricals or your local council website.
