Overview of Mix Lab Salts 10mg Strawberry Banana

Mix Lab Salts 10mg Strawberry Banana is a nicotine salt e-liquid from the Mix brand, supplied in a 10ml bottle at a nicotine strength of 10mg/ml (1%). The flavour is built around two familiar fruit ingredients, ripe strawberry and soft, creamy banana, and it is aimed at vapers who want a sweet, easy-going all-day liquid rather than something sharp or heavily iced. Because it is a nic salt, it is intended for low-powered pod kits and small refillable devices rather than for large sub-ohm tanks.

Here is what you need to know at a glance:

• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, ready to use straight from the bottle with no shots or mixing.
• Strength: 10mg/ml, which sits at the lower end of the two strengths most UK nic salt ranges offer (10mg and 20mg).
• Bottle size: 10ml, the largest size permitted for nicotine-containing e-liquid sold in the UK.
• Flavour: strawberry and banana, sweet and fruity with a rounded, dessert-leaning finish.
• Best suited to: pod systems and refillable mouth-to-lung devices, typically running between roughly 8W and 20W or on fixed-output pod batteries.
• Base: nic salt liquids in this style are commonly formulated around a balanced VG/PG base, often close to 50VG/50PG. Always check the printed ratio on your own bottle, as batches and labelling can change.

The UK has a cap of 20mg/ml on nicotine strength for e-liquids and vape products, and that same limit applies to refillable liquids and to the pre-filled pods and disposables that used to dominate the market. Since single-use disposable vapes were banned from sale in June 2025, refillable pod kits paired with 10ml nic salt bottles have become the default route for many people who want a compact, low-maintenance setup. This liquid is squarely in that category.

The 10mg strength is worth a note. Nicotine salts are absorbed more smoothly than traditional freebase nicotine, so 10mg of salt nicotine tends to feel noticeably more satisfying than 10mg of freebase would, while remaining gentle on the throat. That makes it a sensible middle option for light to moderate smokers or for people who have already stepped down from 20mg and want to keep going.

This page gives an honest, practical rundown: how the liquid performs, how it tastes, which devices suit it, how to use it, what to do if it misbehaves, and how it compares with other options. Where a figure is an estimate rather than a printed specification, we say so. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is for adult smokers and existing vapers only.

Performance and Puff Delivery

With an e-liquid, there is no fixed puff count printed on the pack the way there is with a pre-filled device, so any figure is an estimate that depends on your device, wattage and puffing style. As a working guide, mouth-to-lung salt setups typically use somewhere around 0.3ml to 0.4ml of liquid per 100 puffs, which puts a 10ml bottle in the region of 2,500 to 3,500 puffs. A lighter vaper taking short, gentle draws will land at the upper end of that range, while someone who takes long, hard draws on a higher-wattage device will land at the lower end or below it.

In practical terms, here is how that tends to play out:

• Light use (around 1ml a day): a bottle can last the best part of a week and a half.
• Moderate use (around 2ml to 3ml a day): expect a bottle to last three to five days.
• Heavy use (4ml or more a day): a bottle may only last a couple of days, which is a signal to look at your nicotine strength and device wattage rather than simply buying more.

Throat hit and vapour. At 10mg/ml, the throat hit is soft and the nicotine delivery is steady rather than sharp. Salt nicotine is lower in alkalinity than freebase, which is the reason higher strengths of salt remain comfortable to inhale. Vapour production is modest by design. A balanced base gives enough cloud to be satisfying in a pod device, but this is not a liquid for chasing big clouds. If you want dense vapour, you are looking at the wrong product category and the wrong strength, since high-VG freebase liquids in sub-ohm kits are built for that and are used at much lower nicotine concentrations.

Consistency across a tank. One of the useful features of fruit-led nic salts is that the flavour stays quite even from the first puff to the last. Strawberry and banana are both robust flavour families that do not tend to fade dramatically as a pod empties, although banana notes can become slightly more pronounced in the last few puffs as the wick runs lean. If you notice a sudden change from sweet to scorched, stop and refill straight away rather than pushing through.

Nicotine satisfaction. Most people who use 10mg salts report that they need fewer puffs to feel satisfied than they would on low-strength freebase, which is the main reason salts took over the pod market. If you find yourself chain-vaping and still unsatisfied, 10mg may be too low for your habit. If you feel lightheaded, slightly nauseous or get a tight chest after a few draws, it may be too high or you are puffing too frequently. Both are normal calibration issues and both are addressed in the nicotine guidance section below.

Flavour Profile

Strawberry banana is a long-established fruit pairing in the vape world because the two flavours complement rather than compete with each other. In this liquid, expect a sweet, juicy strawberry note up front on the inhale, with the banana arriving as a softer, rounder layer behind it and lingering on the exhale.

A typical puff breaks down like this:

• Inhale: bright, sweet strawberry with a slightly jammy edge rather than a sour or tart one. It is closer to ripe berries than to underripe fruit.
• Mid-draw: the banana comes in, carrying a smoother, creamier texture that rounds off any sharpness from the strawberry.
• Exhale: a sweet, lightly confectionery finish. Banana tends to stay on the palate for a moment after the vapour has gone, which is helpful if you like a flavour that lingers.

Sweetness level. This is a sweet liquid. Fruit and banana-based e-liquids use sweeteners and flavour compounds that coat the mouth, and some vapers find that after a day of constant use their palate becomes dulled to it, a phenomenon often called vaper's tongue. If that happens, rotating to a different flavour family for a day or two usually resets your sense of taste. Drinking water between sessions and keeping the mouthpiece clean also helps.

Cooling and menthol. There is no cooling agent advertised in this flavour, so it should not be mistaken for an iced variant. If you prefer a cold finish, look for an ice version of the same flavour family instead; strawberry banana ice is a common variant across many ranges.

Realism versus candy. Strawberry banana in vape form is rarely a photocopy of the real fruit. It is closer to a smoothie or a fruity sweet than to a punnet of strawberries and a ripe banana on a chopping board. Expect a flavour that is clearly recognisable but gently stylised, with the banana component leaning towards sweet and creamy rather than starchy or green.

Temperature sensitivity. Fruit flavours often taste better at lower power because heat can push the banana note towards a caramelised, slightly burnt character. If you find the flavour is muddy or too sugary, drop the wattage by a couple of watts on an adjustable device and see whether the strawberry comes through more clearly. On fixed-output pod kits, there is nothing to adjust, which is part of the appeal.

Overall, it is an uncomplicated, approachable flavour that suits people who like sweet fruit liquids and want something that stays pleasant across a full day without being tiring. If you prefer drier, tobacco or sharp citrus profiles, this will not be your cup of tea.

Bottle Design and Build Quality

Nic salt liquids are sold in 10ml bottles in the UK because of legal limits on container size, and the packaging has to meet certain safety requirements. Expect this product to follow the standard format for the category, which is worth understanding because it affects how comfortable the liquid is to use day to day.

• Plastic bottle: soft, squeezable plastic with a narrow dropper-style or fine-tipped nozzle, designed to fit the small fill ports on pod systems without spilling.
• Child-resistant, tamper-evident cap: UK rules require a child-resistant closure and a tamper-evident seal on nicotine e-liquid. These caps take a little getting used to, as you generally need to push down and twist at the same time.
• Labelling: a nicotine warning, ingredient information, batch details and strength should all be printed on the bottle or box. Check these when your order arrives, particularly the nicotine strength, since 10mg and 20mg bottles of the same flavour can look very similar.
• Box or outer packaging: a card outer carton usually carries the legally required health warning and information leaflet.

Nozzle and fill experience. Pod tanks have small, sometimes awkward fill holes. A fine nozzle makes it much easier to fill without overfilling, and overfilling is one of the most common causes of leaking. When you squeeze, do so gently and stop when the liquid reaches the fill line. Do not fill beyond the maximum mark, and never fill the central airflow tube.

Durability. The plastic is designed to be light and travel-friendly, but it is not indestructible. Do not leave bottles in a hot car, on a sunny windowsill or on a radiator. Heat and light degrade nicotine and flavour, causing the liquid to darken and potentially taste flat or harsh. A bottle left in a bag with a loosened cap can leak, so close it fully after each fill.

Storage. Keep the bottle upright, capped, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine e-liquid is toxic if swallowed or if it gets onto the skin in significant quantity, so wash off any spills straight away. If you vape around young children, a lockable box is a sensible investment.

Recycling empty bottles. Once empty, give the bottle a rinse, let it dry, and check with your local council whether it can go into household plastic recycling. Some retailers and vape shops also accept empty bottles. The vape device itself, including any pod kit you use with this liquid, is classed as waste electrical equipment and should never go in general rubbish or household recycling; see the battery section below for details on drop-off points.

Battery and Charging: Choosing a Compatible Device

An e-liquid has no battery of its own, so this section is about the devices it works well in and how to look after them. Because Mix Lab Salts 10mg Strawberry Banana is a salt-nicotine liquid, the best match is a compact pod system or a low-powered refillable device. Typical specifications for the category look like this:

• Battery capacity: most refillable pod kits use an internal battery in the range of roughly 400mAh to 1,100mAh. A 400mAh to 600mAh unit suits light use, while 800mAh to 1,100mAh will usually see a moderate vaper through a full day.
• Pod capacity: 2ml is the standard UK maximum for a tank or pod on a nicotine vape, so a 10ml bottle fills a pod about five times.
• Charging: USB-C is now standard on most current pod kits, with charge times usually between 30 and 90 minutes depending on capacity and charge rate.
• Output: fixed-output pod kits generally deliver around 8W to 15W. Adjustable devices designed for salts commonly range from about 5W up to 25W.

Charging tips. Use the cable supplied with the device, or a good quality USB-C cable, and a standard phone charger or computer port. Avoid fast-charging adapters designed for laptops and tablets unless the manufacturer says the device supports them. Do not leave a device charging unattended or overnight, never charge on a bed, sofa or other soft surface, and stop using any device that gets hot, swells or smells of burning.

Battery safety. Lithium-ion cells in vape devices are safe in normal use but can fail if they are damaged, short-circuited or charged incorrectly. Do not carry a loose device in a pocket with keys or coins. If a device has taken a hard knock or been dropped in water, stop using it.

About disposables and the UK rules. The 20mg/ml nicotine limit that applies to this liquid applied equally to disposable vapes, along with a 2ml liquid limit and the same labelling rules. Single-use disposables are no longer legal to sell in the UK as of June 2025, so rechargeable, refillable devices are now the main option. That also means a lot of old disposables are still circulating in drawers and bags.

Recycling devices and batteries. Retailers selling vapes are required to offer take-back of old vapes, so many vape shops will accept your old device even if you bought it elsewhere. Household waste recycling centres run by councils also have small electrical or battery drop-off containers, and many supermarkets host battery and small electricals recycling points near their entrances. Never put a vape or lithium battery in a kerbside bin, since fires in refuse lorries and recycling plants are a serious and increasing problem. If a device is damaged or swollen, ask the drop-off point for guidance on safe handling before you hand it over.

Coil and Mesh Technology: What Works With Nic Salts

The coil is the heating element in your device that vaporises the liquid, and matching coil resistance to the liquid is one of the most important choices you can make. Nic salts are designed for relatively low power, which means higher-resistance coils are usually the right choice.

• Mesh coils (about 0.6 to 1.0 ohm): a flat sheet of fine metal mesh gives a large heating surface and tends to produce even flavour and good vapour from a small power input. Mesh is popular in modern pod kits and suits a fruit liquid like this one, because it brings out the strawberry clearly without scorching the banana.
• Ceramic coils (about 1.0 to 1.2 ohm): ceramic wicks are often used in closed pod cartridges. They tend to be clean-tasting and durable, but they can feel slightly thinner on flavour than mesh.
• Standard wire coils (about 0.8 to 1.2 ohm): the traditional design with a wire wrapped around a cotton wick. These are common in refillable mouth-to-lung tanks and are a reliable fit for salts.
• Sub-ohm coils (below 0.5 ohm): not recommended. They are designed for high-wattage use with high-VG, low-nicotine freebase liquids. Using a salt in a sub-ohm kit means you take in a very large dose of nicotine per puff, the vapour is harsh, and you will go through the bottle quickly.

Choosing a wattage. If your device is adjustable, start at the low end of the coil manufacturer's recommended range and increase in 1W steps until the flavour is full without being hot. For this liquid, a modest setting usually shows off the fruit better than a high one. Banana and sweeteners can caramelise on the coil if it runs hot, which leads to a duller flavour and shortens coil life.

Priming a new coil. Before you vape, drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed cotton or mesh through the coil's wicking holes if the design allows it, fill the pod, and let it stand for five to ten minutes so the wick saturates fully. Then take a few puffs without pressing the fire button, or take gentle draws at the lowest power. A dry-firing coil tastes burnt immediately, and a burnt coil rarely recovers.

Coil lifespan. Sweet liquids leave more residue on the coil than unsweetened or tobacco liquids do. With a fruit and banana flavour, plan on replacing the coil or pod about every one to two weeks of moderate use. Signs of a worn coil include a muted flavour, a faint burnt taste, gurgling, and a loss of vapour. Changing the coil promptly is far cheaper than persisting with a bad one and mistaking the problem for the liquid.

Nicotine Strength Guidance

The most useful decision you make with any nic salt is choosing the right strength. Too low and you are unsatisfied and vaping constantly; too high and you feel unwell or find yourself needing to cut down. In the UK, the cap for nicotine e-liquid is 20mg/ml, and most nic salt ranges offer 10mg and 20mg as the two common options.

The following is general guidance and not medical advice:

• 10mg/ml (this product): suited to light to moderate smokers, people who smoked up to roughly ten cigarettes a day, and vapers who have already reduced from 20mg. It is also a common choice for those who find 20mg too strong or too harsh.
• 20mg/ml: typically chosen by people who smoked more than ten cigarettes a day or who find that 10mg does not stop their cravings. It is the maximum legally permitted.
• Lower than 10mg: if you vape mostly out of habit and want to reduce, you may eventually step down to lower-strength liquids in a different format, such as 3mg or 6mg freebase.

How salt strength compares. Because of how nicotine salts are absorbed, a 10mg salt tends to give a noticeably stronger, quicker nicotine hit than a 10mg freebase liquid, though the throat feel stays smoother. As a rough guide, many people find 10mg salts feel closer to a medium-strength freebase than to a low one. This varies from person to person, so use it as a starting point only.

Signs your strength is wrong.

• Too low: constant cravings, vaping more and more frequently, drifting back to cigarettes, or never feeling quite satisfied.
• Too high: dizziness, headaches, nausea, a racing heart, sweating or an unpleasant tightness in the throat.

If you feel unwell, stop vaping, get some fresh air, and drink some water. Move to a lower strength next time. If symptoms are severe or persist, seek medical advice.

Step-down plans. If your goal is to stop using nicotine altogether, a gradual approach works for many people. Move from 20mg to 10mg first, stay there until it feels easy, and then consider lower freebase strengths. Local stop smoking services and many pharmacies offer free support, which can raise your chances of quitting for good.

Who should not use it. Nicotine products are for adults. Do not use this liquid if you are under 18, if you do not already smoke or vape, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless advised otherwise by a health professional. Anyone with heart conditions, high blood pressure or diabetes should speak to a doctor before using nicotine products.

Who It Is For (and Who Should Skip It)

No single liquid suits everybody, so it helps to be clear about the audience for this one. Mix Lab Salts 10mg Strawberry Banana makes sense for several groups of adult users.

Good fit:

• Smokers switching to vaping. Adults moving away from cigarettes who smoke around ten a day or fewer will find 10mg a workable starting point. If cravings persist, 20mg is the next step.
• Existing vapers stepping down. If you currently use 20mg salts and want to reduce, 10mg is a logical first stage.
• Pod kit owners. It is formulated for low-wattage mouth-to-lung devices, which is what most compact refillable kits are.
• Fans of sweet fruit flavours. If you enjoy berry, smoothie or sweet confectionery profiles, this will sit comfortably in your rotation.
• People who want a straightforward flavour. It is easy to understand, without layers of menthol, tobacco or dessert complexity.

Probably not for you:

• Non-smokers. Nicotine is addictive, and the sweet flavour does not change that. If you do not already use nicotine, please do not start.
• Anyone under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vapes to under-18s in the UK, and an ID check applies.
• Cloud chasers. Large, dense clouds require high-VG liquids in high-powered sub-ohm devices, at very low nicotine strengths. A salt is the wrong tool.
• Heavy smokers who need maximum strength. If you smoked a pack a day, 10mg may leave you under-satisfied, and you may be better served by 20mg.
• People who dislike sweet liquids. If you prefer tobacco, menthol or dry citrus, a different flavour will suit you far better.
• Those who want a very realistic fruit taste. As with most vape fruit profiles, this is a stylised, sweet interpretation rather than a precise copy.

A note on experience level. This liquid is friendly to beginners, mainly because the flavour is mild and easy to like, but beginners should still pay attention to the nicotine strength and the device they pair it with. A first-time vaper using a very high-powered device and a salt can overshoot quickly. If you are new, start with short, gentle puffs and wait a minute or two between draws to see how you feel.

Allergies and sensitivities. E-liquids contain propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, along with flavourings. If you have previously reacted to either base ingredient or to flavourings, check the ingredient list on the pack before buying.

How to Use It

Using a nic salt is simple, but a few good habits make a real difference to flavour, coil life and safety. Follow this step-by-step guide the first time you open a bottle.

• Step 1, check the bottle. Confirm that the label reads 10mg/ml, check the batch number and best-before date, and make sure the tamper-evident seal is intact.
• Step 2, prepare the device. Make sure the device is switched off or unplugged from the charger. Remove the pod or open the tank and check the coil is fitted correctly and in reasonable condition.
• Step 3, fill the pod. Open the bottle with the push-and-twist cap, place the nozzle into the fill port, and squeeze gently. Stop at or just below the maximum line. Do not overfill, and keep liquid out of the airflow channel.
• Step 4, wait. Allow five to ten minutes for new liquid to soak into the wick. This is the single most effective way to avoid a burnt first puff.
• Step 5, take gentle draws. Salt devices are mouth-to-lung. Draw slowly into your mouth for two to three seconds, pause, then inhale into your lungs and exhale. Do not take very long, hard pulls.
• Step 6, pace yourself. Leave around 20 to 30 seconds between draws. Chain vaping overheats the coil and delivers more nicotine than you may intend.
• Step 7, refill when low. Top up when the liquid is about a quarter full. Letting a pod run dry will damage the coil.
• Step 8, clean up. Wipe any spilled liquid from the mouthpiece and pod, and wash your hands. Keep the bottle capped and upright.

Changing flavours. If you switch to a different liquid, flush the pod or tank with warm water, dry it fully, and fit a fresh coil. Otherwise old flavours linger and blend, and the strawberry banana will taste muddy.

Mixing liquids. Do not blend nic salts with other liquids unless you understand the nicotine maths. Mixing a 10mg salt with a 20mg salt changes the strength, and mixing salt and freebase liquids can produce unpredictable results. Use one liquid at a time.

Where and when. Do not vape in places where it is prohibited, including many workplaces, public transport and enclosed public spaces. Be considerate of others, and never vape in a car with children or in a room with a baby. Check any airline rules before travelling, because carrying e-liquid in hand luggage is usually subject to a clear-bag limit on liquids.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with nic salt setups come down to the coil, the fill or the device settings, not the liquid itself. These are the issues we see most often, with practical fixes.

• Burnt taste. Usually caused by a dry or worn coil. Make sure the pod has liquid, let new coils soak for ten minutes, take slower puffs, and replace the coil if the taste persists. Sweet liquids leave residue, so a coil that is two or more weeks old is a common culprit.
• Weak or muted flavour. A gunked coil is the first suspect. Also check that you are not suffering from vaper's tongue after heavy use of a single flavour. Rinse the pod, fit a fresh coil, and try a different flavour for a day.
• Leaking. Causes include overfilling, loose seals, a cracked pod, or temperature and pressure changes. Fill to the line only, ensure the pod is seated firmly, and store the device upright. If it keeps leaking, replace the pod.
• Gurgling or spitting. Condensation or liquid in the airflow channel. Blow gently through the mouthpiece with the device off, wipe it clean, and avoid overfilling.
• Hard to draw or too airy. Check that the airflow is set correctly if adjustable, that nothing is blocking the air inlet, and that the coil is not flooded. Salts need a tighter draw than a sub-ohm tank.
• Throat feels too harsh. This can be the nicotine strength, the wattage, or a hot coil. Lower the power, take slower puffs, or move to a lower strength if you are on 20mg.
• Dizziness or nausea. You may be taking in too much nicotine. Stop, get some fresh air, drink water, and reduce frequency or strength.
• Device will not fire. Check the battery is charged, the pod is seated, and the contacts are clean and dry. Some devices have a safety lock sequence, typically several rapid clicks, so check your manual.
• Liquid has darkened. Nic salts naturally darken with age, particularly if exposed to warmth or light. A slight colour change is normal and does not always mean the liquid is unusable, but a significant change in taste or smell does. If in doubt, replace it.

When to stop. If a device overheats, produces smoke from the body, swells, or smells of burning plastic, stop using it immediately, move it away from flammable items, and dispose of it through an electrical recycling point. Do not attempt to repair a damaged battery.

Skin or eye contact. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. If a child or pet swallows e-liquid, seek urgent medical or veterinary help straight away and take the bottle with you.

Value for Money

Value in e-liquid is about more than the sticker price. The useful calculation is cost per millilitre, combined with how many millilitres you realistically go through each day and how often you have to replace the coil.

Here is a simple way to work it out:

• Cost per ml: divide the bottle price by 10. A bottle in the typical budget-to-mid range for 10ml nic salts works out at a few tens of pence per millilitre.
• Daily cost: multiply your cost per ml by the millilitres you use a day. A moderate vaper using 2ml to 3ml daily is spending a small fraction of what the same person would spend on cigarettes.
• Coil cost: add the price of replacement coils or pods, divided by how many days each lasts. With sweet liquids, assume roughly one to two weeks per coil.

How it compares with alternatives.

• Versus cigarettes: for most people, vaping costs considerably less than smoking, even when you include devices and coils. This is one reason many switchers stay with vaping.
• Versus the disposables of the past: disposables were convenient but expensive per millilitre, and they cannot be sold any more. A refillable kit and 10ml bottles tends to be cheaper over time, and it generates far less waste.
• Versus shortfills: 50ml and 100ml shortfill bottles usually cost less per millilitre but are freebase, are meant for sub-ohm devices, and need a nicotine shot to reach the strength you want. They are not interchangeable with salts.

Buying in multiples. Multi-buy offers on 10ml bottles can bring the unit price down, so if you know you like this flavour, stocking up on a few bottles is cost-effective. Keep them sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, and avoid hoarding more than you will use within a year or so.

Hidden savings and costs. A pod kit with a decent battery means you are not paying for a new battery every time you buy liquid, which is the major long-term saving over single-use devices. On the other hand, poor-quality coils that burn out quickly can eat into that saving, so it is worth buying coils from a reputable supplier and not simply the cheapest option.

Our view. Mix Lab Salts 10mg Strawberry Banana is reasonable value for what it is: a straightforward fruit nic salt in a standard bottle. It does not try to be a premium craft liquid, and it does not charge as if it were one. If you like the flavour and your device suits salts, it is a sensible, affordable choice for everyday use.

Honest Comparison With Alternatives

Strawberry banana is a crowded flavour category, with almost every major nic salt range offering a version of it. Rather than ranking by name, it is more useful to compare by what matters to you.

Versus the large, established salt ranges. Brands with national distribution and wide catalogues, such as Nasty or IVG, tend to offer more flavour variety, consistent availability and extensive customer feedback. Reviews of their fruit flavours are easy to find, which helps if you like to research before buying. Where Mix Lab Salts competes is by being a simple, no-frills alternative with a modest price tag. If you want a more established name, you may pay somewhat more for it. If you simply want a sweet strawberry banana salt at a sensible price, this liquid does the job.

Versus ice variants. Many ranges sell strawberry banana ice alongside the regular version. If you enjoy a cold finish on the exhale, an ice variant will suit you better than this one. If you find menthol-style cooling tiresome after long sessions, the plain version here is the more comfortable option.

Versus other fruit salts. Strawberry banana is gentler and creamier than sharper options like blue raspberry, lemon, or sour apple, and sweeter and less tropical than mango, pineapple or passion fruit blends. If you want something with more bite, those will serve you better. If you want something soft and rounded, this is a good match.

Versus freebase and shortfill liquids. Freebase liquids with low nicotine strength are designed for sub-ohm and high-powered devices, producing more vapour but with a larger consumption rate and a different throat feel. Salts are for compact, quiet, low-power vaping. They are not the right choice for large tanks, and freebase is not the right choice for pod kits.

Versus pre-filled pods and old-style disposables. Pre-filled pods lock you into a single flavour per pod and can be more expensive per millilitre. Single-use disposables are no longer sold in the UK. A bottle of salt lets you control strength, flavour and device, and avoids the waste of throwing away a whole device every few days.

Where this liquid is weaker. To be fair, there are a few things to consider. It has fewer independent reviews than market leaders, so you are relying more on your own taste. It is not a premium or small-batch product, so if you are after nuanced, layered dessert profiles, a craft brand may be a better match. And as a 10mg-only listing here, you will need to look elsewhere if you want 20mg.

Bottom line. If you want a sweet, uncomplicated strawberry banana salt at a moderate strength, in a simple 10ml bottle, it is a solid and sensible pick. If you want more complexity, wider variety or a bigger brand name, you will find alternatives, but you will probably pay more for them.
