Overview: Mix Lab Salts Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice 10mg

Mix Lab Salts Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice is a nicotine salt e-liquid built around three red fruits and a cooling finish. It is sold in the 10mg/ml strength, which is the same thing as 1% nicotine, and it comes in the standard 10ml bottle that UK rules allow for nicotine-containing refills. It is a refill liquid, not a disposable and not a complete device, so you will need a refillable pod kit or a compatible pod system to use it.

The flavour idea is easy to read from the name. Strawberry is the sweet, juicy lead, raspberry adds a slightly tart and seedy edge, and cherry sits underneath as a deeper, candy-like note. The word ice tells you there is a menthol or cooling agent layered over the top, so the vapour feels cold on the inhale and clean on the exhale rather than syrupy and warm.

Nicotine salts differ from the older freebase nicotine used in most larger-volume liquids. Salt nicotine is paired with an acid, which lets the liquid deliver nicotine more smoothly at lower power. That is why salts are the default choice for small pod devices and for people who are moving away from cigarettes and want a throat feel that is gentler at the higher strengths. At 10mg/ml, this bottle sits in the lower-to-middle part of the salt range, below the 20mg/ml ceiling that UK law sets for all nicotine e-liquids and disposable devices alike.

This page walks through what to expect from the bottle: the flavour, how many puffs you can reasonably get from it, how it behaves in different coils, how to choose between nicotine strengths, and how it compares fairly with other fruit-ice salts. We have written it for adult UK vapers, whether you are a smoker switching over or an existing vaper looking for a fruit-and-ice option in a lighter strength.

• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, 10ml bottle
• Strength: 10mg/ml (1% nicotine)
• Flavour family: mixed red berries and cherry with a cooling finish
• Best used in: refillable pod kits and mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices
• Age restriction: sold to adults aged 18 or over only

Vaping is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers. If you do not currently smoke or vape, this product is not meant for you, because nicotine is addictive.

Specifications at a glance

Because this is a liquid rather than a hardware product, the technical numbers that matter are about the liquid itself and how it interacts with whatever device you pair it with. Here is what we can say with confidence, and where figures depend on your setup, we say so rather than guess.

• Bottle size: 10ml. This is the largest bottle size permitted for nicotine-containing e-liquid refills in the UK, and the container should be child-resistant and tamper-evident with the standard warning text.
• Nicotine strength: 10mg/ml, which is 1% by volume. The UK maximum for e-liquid is 20mg/ml.
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt (nicotine bound to an organic acid), designed for lower-wattage devices.
• Typical base: nicotine salt liquids in this style are usually made on a balanced propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine base. Check the label on your bottle for the exact ratio, as batches and ranges can differ.
• Intended device type: pod kits and MTL tanks, usually in the range of roughly 8W to 18W, or auto-draw pods that manage power for you.
• Suitable coil resistance: generally 0.6 ohm to 1.2 ohm for pod coils and mesh. Sub-ohm coils below 0.5 ohm are not a good match for a salt at this strength.
• Estimated yield: a 10ml bottle will typically fill a 2ml pod about five times. Realistic puff yield is an estimate that depends on your draw length and power, but around 250 to 350 puffs per ml is a sensible planning figure for light MTL use, which puts a full bottle in the region of 2,500 to 3,500 puffs.
• Steep and shake: no steeping required. The liquid is ready to vape once the coil is primed.

Where you see a range rather than a fixed figure, that is deliberate. Puff counts are always an estimate, they vary with coil size, wattage, airflow, and how long you hold each draw, and any single number quoted for a bottle should be treated as a guide. If the exact PG/VG split matters to you for any reason, read the label on the bottle you receive, because that is the authoritative source for your batch.

Flavour profile: strawberry, raspberry and cherry with ice

The three fruits in the name are not just a list. In a liquid like this, each fruit tends to take a different role, and the cooling note ties them together. Here is how that typically plays out on the inhale, through the middle of the draw, and on the exhale.

Inhale. Strawberry usually arrives first. It reads as a ripe, slightly candied strawberry rather than a sharp, fresh-picked one, which is a common approach in vape flavouring because it keeps the sweetness consistent from the first puff to the last. The cooling agent is present from the start but sits in the background, so the inhale feels clean and a little chilled rather than icy.

Mid-draw. This is where raspberry and cherry show up. Raspberry brings a touch of tartness and a slightly floral, seedy character that stops the strawberry from feeling flat. Cherry adds weight, closer to a cherry sweet than a fresh cherry, giving the blend a rounder base. If you have ever had a mixed red-berry sweet, you already know the general territory.

Exhale. The ice component is most noticeable here. You get a cool sensation across the tongue and the back of the throat, and the fruit lingers for a moment afterwards. In an ice flavour the cooling level is the main thing people argue about. This one is best described as moderate: noticeable enough that it is clearly an ice flavour, but not so strong that it takes over the fruit or numbs your palate after a few draws.

A few things to keep in mind about flavour in general:

• Power changes the picture. At lower wattage, the strawberry and raspberry sit forward and the cooling is gentler. Turning the device up tends to push the cherry and menthol forward and can make the vapour feel warmer and less distinct.
• Fresh coils taste fuller. Flavour is usually at its clearest in the first few days of a new coil, then softens gradually.
• Sweetness builds up. Sweet fruit liquids deposit more residue on a coil than unflavoured or tobacco liquids, which is why coil life with this style of liquid is normally shorter.

If you prefer sharper, sour-leaning fruit, this is likely to feel a bit sweet. If you like candy-style berry flavours with a clean cool finish, it is the sort of profile you will probably find easy to settle into for a full day of vaping.

Performance and puff delivery

With a nicotine salt at 10mg/ml, performance is mostly about how smooth and consistent the hit feels and how long a bottle lasts, rather than how large the clouds are. Salts are designed for low-power, restricted-draw vaping. You should expect a compact, flavourful puff with a noticeable but not harsh throat sensation at this strength.

Throat hit. At 10mg/ml the throat hit is light to moderate. Freebase nicotine at the same number would feel noticeably sharper, but salt chemistry smooths it, so many people find that 10mg salt feels closer to what they would describe as a gentle hit. The cooling agent adds a physical chill that some vapers mistake for extra throat hit, so the overall sensation can feel a little stronger than the nicotine alone would suggest.

Vapour production. Expect modest vapour. A typical MTL pod puts out a small, dense cloud that dissipates quickly. If you are used to large sub-ohm clouds, the difference will be obvious, and a salt like this is probably not the right choice for that style.

Consistency. A well-primed coil should deliver an even flavour from the first puff of a refill until the pod runs low. Common causes of inconsistency are overfilling, under-priming, and chain vaping at high power, all covered in the troubleshooting section below.

Puff yield. A 10ml bottle is a lot of liquid in the context of a 2ml pod. As a working estimate, a light MTL user taking around 200 to 300 puffs a day would expect a 10ml bottle to last roughly ten days to two weeks. A heavy user who is replacing cigarettes would likely go through it faster, often in four to seven days. These are planning figures, not guarantees, and your own usage will decide the outcome.

• One 2ml pod fill gives roughly 500 to 700 puffs for light MTL use.
• One 10ml bottle gives roughly five pod fills.
• Heavier or higher-wattage vaping drains liquid noticeably faster.

Compared with a disposable vape, which usually holds a fixed 2ml of liquid and is thrown away when it is empty, a refillable setup using a bottle like this gives you more control over how much you use and how much you spend per puff, and it avoids the throwaway hardware altogether.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 10mg right for you?

Choosing a strength is the most important decision with any nicotine e-liquid, and it is worth spending a few minutes on. The UK limit is 20mg/ml for all nicotine e-liquids and for disposable vapes, so nothing you can legally buy here goes above that. Within that range, the common nic salt strengths are 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. This bottle is the 10mg option.

Who 10mg tends to suit.

• Ex-smokers who smoked a light to moderate amount, roughly under ten cigarettes a day, and have been vaping for a few weeks.
• Vapers stepping down from 20mg who find 20mg too harsh or who feel they are vaping for habit more than for cravings.
• People using a pod kit with a fairly open airflow, where each puff is larger and delivers more nicotine per draw.
• Anyone who vapes frequently throughout the day and wants to avoid overdoing nicotine.

When 10mg may be too low. If you smoke a pack a day, or you are using a very tight MTL device with small puffs, 10mg may leave you feeling unsatisfied and reaching for the device constantly. In that situation people often move to 20mg salts, but if you are unsure, starting at 10mg and moving up is the cautious route. Nicotine is addictive, and the aim is to find the lowest strength that stops you returning to cigarettes.

When 10mg may be too high. If you are already on 3mg or 6mg freebase in a sub-ohm device, a 10mg salt at a similar volume could be a significant jump in nicotine intake. Salt nicotine is absorbed more efficiently than the same milligram figure in freebase, so do not assume a straight swap. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have a racing heart, stop and wait before vaping again, and consider dropping to 5mg.

A practical test. Vape normally for a day and note whether you are chasing the device every few minutes. Frequent puffing combined with persistent cravings suggests the strength is too low. Headache, light-headedness or nausea after a few puffs suggests it is too high.

It is also worth being clear that nicotine-free options exist and that stopping nicotine altogether is the aim for many people. If you want to reduce over time, moving down through 20mg, 10mg and 5mg steps is a common path. The NHS Stop Smoking services and many local pharmacies can offer free advice on combining vaping with behavioural support.

Coil and mesh technology: what suits this liquid

E-liquid does not work on its own, so the coil inside your device matters as much as the bottle. This section covers the coil types you are likely to meet and how a 10mg fruit-ice salt behaves in each.

Standard round-wire coils (0.8 to 1.2 ohm). These are the long-standing MTL pod coils. They run well at lower wattage, typically 8W to 12W, and give a tight, warm draw. A fruit salt tends to taste clear and slightly sweeter here, and the cooling note is gentle. If you want maximum liquid economy, higher-resistance coils use the least liquid per puff.

Mesh coils (0.6 to 0.8 ohm). Mesh replaces the traditional wire with a flat woven screen that has more surface area touching the cotton. The result is faster heat-up, more even vaporisation and typically fuller flavour. For a three-fruit liquid like this one, mesh can separate the strawberry, raspberry and cherry more distinctly. The trade-off is that mesh coils use more liquid and can burn out sooner if you chain vape or run them dry.

Ceramic and other pod coils. Some pod systems use ceramic wicking. These can handle sweeter liquids with less dry-hit risk, but flavour is sometimes slightly flatter than with cotton and mesh, and the coil cannot be rebuilt.

What to avoid. Sub-ohm coils (generally under 0.5 ohm) and high-wattage settings are not what salts are made for. Pairing a 10mg salt with a high-power tank can push too much nicotine per puff and creates a hot, harsh vapour.

• Priming matters. Always let a new coil soak for at least five to ten minutes after filling. Dry cotton burns and ruins the coil quickly.
• Sweet liquids gunk coils. Expect to replace the coil roughly every one to two weeks of regular use, sooner if you notice a burnt or muted taste.
• Match the coil to the device. Not every coil is cross-compatible, even within the same brand. Always check the model your pod or tank takes.

For most people the simplest answer is a mesh or a 0.8 to 1.0 ohm coil in a pod kit set between about 10W and 14W. That combination balances flavour, nicotine delivery and liquid usage for a fruit salt at this strength.

Battery, charging and responsible disposal

The bottle itself has no battery, so battery performance is about the device you pair it with. That said, power is such a large part of the experience that it is worth covering what to look for, and how to look after both batteries and packaging in the UK.

Battery size. Most refillable pod kits that suit nicotine salts carry batteries between about 400mAh and 1,000mAh. A 400 to 600mAh device is typically enough for a light user across a day. If you vape heavily, a 800mAh to 1,000mAh model reduces the chance of being caught short. Auto-draw pods with smaller batteries are convenient, but they cannot be adjusted if your power needs change.

Charging. Modern pod kits almost always charge over USB-C. A small 400 to 600mAh device usually takes around 45 to 90 minutes to charge from empty. Use a standard phone-style charger or a computer port and avoid unbranded high-output chargers. Do not leave a device charging unattended overnight or on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, and stop using any battery that is swollen, hot to the touch, or damaged.

Pass-through use. Some devices allow vaping while charging. It is better avoided if you can, as it heats the battery and can shorten its lifespan.

Disposal and recycling in the UK. Vape batteries must never go in household rubbish or household recycling. Lithium batteries can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Instead:

• Take used or broken devices to a vape-recycling drop-off point. Many vape shops and larger retailers that sell vaping products are obliged to take back used devices free of charge under UK waste electrical rules.
• Use the recycling bank for small electricals at your local council tip or household waste recycling centre.
• Empty or rinse e-liquid bottles and drop them into plastic recycling if your local council accepts them, and check the cap type, because some caps are separate materials.

It is also worth noting that the UK has banned the sale of single-use disposable vapes as of 1 June 2025. A refillable setup using a 10ml bottle is therefore the main option for people who used to rely on disposables, and it also generates considerably less electronic waste over time.

Design and build quality of the bottle

Because this is an e-liquid, design and build mean the bottle, the cap, the label and the nozzle rather than a moulded device. These details matter more than they sound, especially when you are refilling a small pod.

The bottle. The 10ml container is a soft plastic bottle with a narrow dropper-style nozzle. The softness lets you squeeze out a controlled amount, and the narrow tip is designed to fit into the fill port of most pods and tanks. If you have a very small fill port, hold the nozzle against the edge rather than pushing it in, which helps avoid spills and air-locks.

Child-resistant cap. UK rules require a child-resistant, tamper-evident closure on nicotine e-liquid. In practice this means a cap that needs to be pressed or squeezed as it is turned, and a tamper ring that breaks on first opening. It can feel awkward at first, but it is a safety feature, not a fault. If a bottle arrives with the tamper seal already broken, contact the retailer.

Labelling. The label should show the product name, nicotine strength, volume, ingredients, a batch number, the required health warning and a contact for the manufacturer or importer. Fruit-and-ice liquids are often brightly coloured. This is design, not a sign of the liquid's contents, and the bottle colour does not tell you the flavour strength.

Handling and storage.

• Store upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, which degrade both the flavour and the nicotine.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets at all times. Nicotine liquid is harmful if swallowed or if it gets onto the skin in quantity.
• Wipe the nozzle clean after each fill. Residue left on the tip attracts dust and can seep into the cap threads.
• If liquid does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water.

In terms of quality control, a sealed bottle from a reputable UK retailer is what you should aim to buy. If the label is faded, misspelled or missing legally required information, that is a warning sign of an unregulated product. Genuine UK-market nicotine liquids are notified to the regulator before sale, and buying from an established store reduces the risk of ending up with a counterfeit.

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

Being straightforward about who a product suits is part of choosing sensibly. Here is who tends to get on well with this bottle, and who should look elsewhere.

A good fit if you are:

• An adult smoker who wants to switch to vaping and prefers fruit and ice flavours over tobacco or menthol.
• An existing vaper using a pod kit who wants a berry-and-cherry flavour at a middle strength.
• A 20mg salt user looking to step down without dropping straight to 5mg.
• Someone who has relied on disposables and now needs a refillable alternative following the UK disposable ban.
• A vaper who likes a sweet, simple, easy-to-recognise flavour that does not change much between the first and last puff.

Probably not the right choice if you are:

• Under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under 18 in the UK and illegal for adults to buy them on behalf of someone under 18.
• A non-smoker. Nicotine is addictive and there is no benefit to starting.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding. Speak to a midwife, GP or NHS stop smoking adviser about the best support for you.
• Someone with a heart condition, high blood pressure or other health concerns. Ask a doctor before using any nicotine product.
• A heavy smoker using a tight MTL device. Ten milligrams may not give enough nicotine, and 20mg may be more suitable.
• A cloud chaser. Salts are designed for low-power vaping. For big clouds, a high-VG freebase liquid in a sub-ohm tank is a different category entirely.
• Someone who dislikes sweet or cooling flavours. If menthol makes your throat feel uncomfortable, an unflavoured or tobacco liquid will suit you better.

Vaping is widely accepted in the UK as a far less harmful alternative to smoking for adults who already smoke, but it is not risk free. The goal for a smoker is to switch completely and ideally to reduce nicotine over time. Dual use, which means vaping while still smoking, gives much smaller benefits.

How to use: filling, priming and getting a good first puff

Refilling a pod is simple once you have done it a couple of times. Follow these steps in order and you will avoid most of the usual problems, such as flooding, leaking and dry hits.

• Step 1: Switch off and remove the pod. Take the pod or tank off the battery section. If your device has a fire button, make sure it cannot be pressed by accident.
• Step 2: Open the fill port. On most pods this is a silicone plug on the side or top. Pull or slide it open. Never fill through the mouthpiece or airflow holes.
• Step 3: Fill slowly. Squeeze the bottle gently and fill to just below the maximum line. Do not overfill. Leave a small air gap to avoid pressure build-up and leaks.
• Step 4: Close the plug firmly. Press the silicone back into place until it is flush. A loose plug is the most common cause of leaks.
• Step 5: Let the coil soak. Wait at least five to ten minutes, ideally closer to ten with a brand new coil. This is the single most useful step to protect your coil.
• Step 6: Take a few primer draws. Without pressing the button (or on a low setting), take two or three gentle draws to pull liquid into the cotton, then begin vaping.
• Step 7: Wipe the mouthpiece. Dry any liquid off the outside of the pod before putting it in your pocket.

Good habits.

• Start on a low power setting and increase one watt at a time until the flavour is right. If the vapour tastes warm or harsh, drop back.
• Take slow, gentle draws of three to four seconds. Fast, hard pulls drain the wick and can cause dry hits.
• Do not chain vape. Pause between puffs to let the cotton re-saturate.
• Top up when the liquid is about a third full rather than waiting for the coil to run dry.
• Keep a spare coil handy, because sweet liquids shorten coil life.

Changing flavour. If you are switching from a different liquid, rinse the pod with warm water, dry it fully, and fit a fresh coil. Otherwise leftover flavour will mix with the new one and muddy both. Allow the pod to dry for several hours before refilling.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with salt e-liquids come down to the coil, the fill technique or the power level rather than the liquid itself. Here is how to diagnose the typical problems.

Burnt or harsh taste. This usually means the cotton has dried out or the coil has reached the end of its life. First, check there is enough liquid in the pod. If there is, let it rest for ten minutes and try again with shorter, gentler draws. If the taste remains, fit a new coil. Sweet fruit liquids leave residue, so a coil that tastes burnt after one to two weeks is normal wear.

Muted flavour. A flat or faded taste often points to coil gunk or vape tongue, a temporary dulling of taste after prolonged use of the same flavour. Try switching flavours for a day, drinking water, and replacing the coil if the problem persists.

Leaking. Common causes are an overfilled pod, a poorly seated plug, a cracked pod, or temperature and pressure changes, such as air travel or leaving the device on a hot dashboard. Fill lower, check the plug seal, and store the pod upright.

Gurgling or spitting. This usually points to condensation or flooding in the airway. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, and wipe away any excess liquid. Lower the fill level next time.

Weak throat hit. A light hit may mean the strength is too low for your puff style. It can also simply mean the coil is worn or the battery is low. Try a fresh coil and a fully charged device before concluding you need a stronger liquid.

Throat irritation or coughing. The cooling agent can irritate some people, particularly on a new coil or at higher power. Reduce the wattage and take smaller puffs. If irritation continues, try a flavour with less cooling or a lower nicotine strength.

Device will not fire. Check the battery, then clean the contact pins between the pod and the battery with a dry cotton bud. If a leaked liquid has bridged the contacts, dry them fully before use.

• Never use a device that has been wet inside, is visibly damaged, or has a swollen battery.
• If you experience nausea, dizziness, a fast heartbeat or chest pain, stop vaping and seek medical advice.
• If a child or pet swallows e-liquid, call 999 or contact NHS 111 straight away.

Value for money and how it compares with similar salts

Price per bottle is only part of the picture. A better question is cost per day of vaping, which depends on how much liquid you use, how often you change coils and what you are replacing. Here is how this product stacks up in practice, along with some fair comparisons.

Against disposables. Disposable vapes were popular because they were cheap upfront and required no setup, but each one contained around 2ml of liquid, and with the sale ban in force since 1 June 2025 they are no longer a legal option to buy in the UK. A 10ml bottle contains the equivalent of about five disposables worth of liquid. Even after adding the cost of a starter kit and replacement coils, a refillable setup usually works out noticeably cheaper over a month, and it produces far less waste.

Against cigarettes. A regular smoker spending around £15 to £20 a week on tobacco will typically find that a bottle plus occasional coils costs a fraction of that. Exact savings depend on how much you vape, so treat this as a rough guide rather than a promise.

Against other fruit-ice nic salts. The UK market has a lot of 10ml nicotine salt bottles from brands such as Elf Liq, IVG Salts, Pod Salt and Nasty Salt, along with plenty of other lines in the same format. Most are priced in a similar band, so price alone rarely separates them. Where they differ is flavour balance. Some focus on a single fruit with strong cooling, others on candy-style blends. This bottle sits among the blended berry options, so if you want one dominant flavour instead of a mixture, a single-fruit liquid may suit you better. If you want something that tastes of several berries at once with a moderate chill, this is a reasonable match.

Where it is less convincing.

• If you want a very strong, icy menthol blast, some other ranges push the cooling harder.
• If you prefer tart or sour fruit, this leans sweeter than that.
• If you want the cheapest possible option, bulk multi-bottle deals on lesser-known lines can undercut a single bottle.

Getting more from a bottle. Prime coils properly, avoid overfilling, keep power low, and replace coils before they burn. Treat the liquid as a consumable and the coil as a wear part. Buying multiple bottles or a multipack when your retailer offers one usually lowers the cost per ml, provided you will use them within a reasonable time.

Overall, for an adult UK vaper who wants a straightforward berry-and-cherry salt at 10mg in a legal, refillable format, it is a solid, unfussy choice that offers good value relative to the disposables it replaces.
