Nexus Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade 100ml at a glance

Nexus 100ml Shortfill Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade is a fruit-led e-liquid sold as a 0mg shortfill in a large bottle. It is made for people who vape from a refillable tank and would rather set their own nicotine strength than buy a pre-mixed liquid. The name describes the recipe quite literally: two dark berries sit on top of a sharp, sweet lemonade base, giving a cold-drink style flavour rather than a dessert, custard or tobacco profile.

The format matters as much as the flavour. A shortfill is a bottle of nicotine-free liquid with spare headspace, so you can add one or two 10ml nicotine shots, shake, and end up with a finished liquid at a strength you chose. In the UK, e-liquid that contains nicotine is limited to a 20mg/ml maximum strength and a 10ml maximum bottle size. A 0mg liquid is not a nicotine product, which is why a 100ml bottle can be sold legally while a nicotine-containing bottle cannot go above 10ml. The same 20mg/ml cap is the reason nicotine shots top out at 18mg or 20mg and the reason pre-filled and disposable devices are held to the same ceiling.

Nexus sells its shortfills in this 100ml format across a range of fruit, ice and drinks flavours, so Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade sits alongside sibling flavours that vapers often rotate between. The quick facts below summarise what you are buying before we go into detail in the sections that follow.

• Product type: 100ml 0mg shortfill e-liquid, nicotine shots sold separately
• Flavour: blueberry, blackberry and lemonade
• Bottle: usually a 120ml bottle holding 100ml of liquid, leaving room for up to two 10ml nicotine shots (check the label on your bottle)
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks and higher-wattage refillable kits, plus many mid-power tank setups
• Strength after mixing: roughly 1.6mg/ml with one 18mg shot, 3mg/ml with two 18mg shots, or 0mg as supplied
• Sold to: adults aged 18 and over only

If you are new to shortfills, the sections on nicotine strength, mixing and device matching will save you the usual trial and error. If you already vape 100ml bottles, skip ahead to the flavour, value and comparison sections to see whether this one fits your rotation.

Flavour profile: how the berries and lemonade fit together

Fruit-and-lemonade blends can go wrong in two ways: the berries get buried under sourness, or the sweetener takes over and everything tastes like squash. A good version keeps each element readable, and that is the aim with this recipe. Here is what to expect, based on how this kind of profile is normally built and how the three named notes behave in a vaping setup.

• Inhale: blueberry usually leads. It reads as a rounded, slightly jammy sweetness rather than a sharp one, and it gives the liquid its smooth opening.
• Mid-draw: blackberry adds a darker, tarter layer with a faint seedy edge. This is the part that stops the blend from tasting like a single generic berry, and it tends to be more noticeable at lower wattages where the vapour is cooler.
• Exhale: the lemonade note arrives last, brightening the finish with a citrus snap and a sweet-sour balance similar to a bottled lemonade. It clears the palate and makes the next puff taste fresh.

Nothing in the name suggests a menthol or ice component, so treat this as a non-cooling liquid unless the label on your bottle says otherwise. That is useful if you find ice flavours dull your taste buds after a few hours; the lemon gives enough brightness that the liquid does not feel flat without any cooling agent.

Sweetness sits in the medium to high range, which is normal for 100ml fruit shortfills. If you are coming from tobacco or from low-sweetener flavours, the first tank may taste sugary, and you may find the sweetness settles as you get used to it. If you prefer a drier berry flavour, running the device at a slightly higher wattage within the coil range tends to thin out the perceived sweetness and push the lemon forward.

One practical flavour note: citrus-based liquids can taste a little sharper straight after mixing and calm down after a day. If you add nicotine shots, give the bottle a good shake, leave it for 12 to 24 hours with the cap on, and shake again before filling. You do not need the long steeping periods that heavy dessert or tobacco liquids benefit from, because fruit and citrus flavours are mostly bright top notes that are ready quickly.

Flavour fade, sometimes called vaper's tongue, can affect fruit liquids if you vape one flavour all day. If the berries seem to disappear after a long session, rotate to a different flavour for a day or two, or have a drink of water and a short break before judging the liquid again.

Vapour production, throat hit and consumption

Most 100ml shortfills are made with a high VG (vegetable glycerine) ratio, with 70VG/30PG being the usual split for this size and style. Always confirm the ratio printed on your bottle, but if it is a high-VG liquid you can expect dense vapour, a smooth draw and a soft throat hit. High VG liquids are thicker, which is why they pair with sub-ohm tanks and mesh coils that have wide wicking channels.

At 0mg the throat hit is very light, more of a gentle warmth than a catch. Adding a single 18mg shot to reach roughly 1.6mg/ml keeps the draw smooth and adds only a little more body. Two shots to reach 3mg/ml gives a noticeable but still comfortable hit at sub-ohm wattages. Because the nicotine is spread across a large volume of liquid, shortfills are gentler than the nicotine salt liquids used in small pod kits, which typically run at 10mg to 20mg.

The following approximate guide shows how output tends to behave across a typical sub-ohm range. Treat the numbers as starting points rather than fixed rules, because coil design and airflow change the result.

• Low power (about 25W to 40W with a 0.3 to 0.6 ohm coil): cooler vapour, clearer blackberry and blueberry separation, lower liquid use.
• Mid power (about 40W to 60W with a 0.15 to 0.3 ohm mesh coil): a balanced setting for most people, with fuller flavour and good cloud density.
• High power (above 60W): thicker clouds and a warmer vapour, but the lemonade can turn sharp and the sweeteners caramelise faster, shortening coil life.

There is no puff count printed on a bottle of e-liquid in the way there is on a disposable, but you can estimate it. A typical direct-to-lung vaper uses somewhere between 3ml and 6ml a day. At those rates a mixed 120ml bottle lasts roughly three to six weeks, depending on how often you vape and how high you run the wattage. For comparison, a single-use device holds around 2ml of liquid, so 120ml is the equivalent of about 60 of them, without the plastic, lithium cell and waste that each disposable creates.

If you vape less often, say a handful of sessions a day, a bottle can stretch beyond six weeks. In that case keep the cap tight, store the bottle somewhere cool and dark, and consider mixing only one nicotine shot at a time if you do not want to commit to a full 120ml at a single strength.

Bottle design, labelling and build quality

With e-liquid, build quality means the bottle, the cap, the label and the consistency of the liquid itself. Shortfills of this size come in plastic bottles, typically a 120ml bottle with a 100ml fill, with a narrow nozzle for filling tanks and a tamper-evident or child-resistant cap, as required for e-liquid sold in the UK. The soft plastic makes it easy to squeeze liquid out without spilling, and the long thin tip fits most tank fill ports.

These are the practical build points worth checking when your bottle arrives.

• Seal and cap: the tamper-evident ring should be intact on a new bottle. If the seal is broken on arrival, contact the shop before using the liquid.
• Nozzle: the narrow tip should fit your tank fill port. If you have a tank with a very small port, a spare squeezy bottle with a finer tip helps you fill without flooding.
• Label: the label carries the flavour, volume, VG/PG ratio, batch information, nicotine warning where relevant and the age restriction. Keep it legible, especially after you add nicotine shots, so that anyone else in the house can see what is in the bottle.
• Headspace: the bottle is deliberately not filled to the brim so you can add shots. Do not overfill beyond the stated capacity.
• Colour consistency: berry liquids can look slightly darker or lighter between batches. A small difference is normal and does not indicate a fault.

Nicotine-free e-liquid still needs to be handled with sensible care. Keep the bottle upright, store it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Sweet, fruity packaging attracts curiosity, so a shelf out of sight is a better choice than a coffee table.

Once the bottle is empty, rinse it, let it dry, and check your local council's guidance on plastic recycling, since rules differ between areas. If you added nicotine shots, the small nicotine bottles should be emptied fully before disposal, and local guidance may treat them differently from ordinary packaging. Batteries and devices must not go in household bins or recycling. Take them to a drop-off point at a supermarket, retailer or council recycling centre, where small electricals and batteries are collected separately.

Overall, the build is practical rather than fancy. The thing you are paying for is the liquid inside, and the bottle is designed to deliver it cleanly and let you mix nicotine without a mess.

Matching the liquid to your device and battery

E-liquid has no battery of its own, but the battery in your device decides whether this liquid performs well. A thick, high-VG fruit liquid needs enough power to heat the coil properly, and a weak or ageing battery gives thin, muted flavour that people often blame on the liquid.

Here is how battery capacity and device type usually line up with a 100ml shortfill.

• Sub-ohm kits with an internal battery of about 1,500mAh to 3,000mAh: well matched for 30W to 60W vaping. Expect to charge once a day at moderate use.
• Box mods using one or two removable 18650 or 21700 cells (about 2,500mAh to 5,000mAh each): a sound match for 60W and above, and they give the longest session length between charges.
• Small pod kits with 400mAh to 1,000mAh batteries: often limited to 15W to 25W and fitted with 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coils. High-VG shortfills can wick poorly in these devices, so check that your pod is rated for 70VG liquid before filling it.

Most modern devices charge by USB-C. A few practical habits help the battery last and keep you safe.

• Use the cable supplied with the device, or a good quality one, and a standard wall adaptor rather than a fast charger with an unknown output.
• Do not leave a device charging unattended overnight or on a bed, sofa or other soft surface.
• Do not carry spare 18650 or 21700 cells loose in a pocket with keys or coins. Use a plastic battery case.
• Stop using any battery with a torn wrap, dents, swelling or unusual heat.

Battery performance affects flavour as well. As a cell drains, voltage drops, and on an unregulated or basic device that can mean cooler vapour and weaker lemon notes late in the day. A regulated device holds its set wattage until the battery is nearly empty. If your flavour seems to fade as the day goes on, try charging earlier or switching to a fresh cell before you decide the liquid is the problem.

When a rechargeable battery or a device reaches the end of its life, treat it as electrical waste. Retailers that sell batteries are generally required to take them back, and most supermarkets and council recycling centres have collection points. Never put lithium cells in your normal rubbish, because damaged cells can cause fires in collection vehicles and waste facilities.

Coil and mesh pairing for flavour and coil life

Choosing the right coil affects this liquid more than any other single variable. The wrong coil makes a good liquid taste burnt or flat, and the right one brings out the layering between blueberry, blackberry and lemon.

For a high-VG shortfill, mesh coils are the usual choice. A mesh coil is a flat sheet of resistance material with a large contact area, which heats evenly and wicks thick liquid quickly. Compared with round-wire coils, mesh gives faster ramp-up, a wider flavour spread and a lower tendency to dry out in the middle of a session.

• 0.15 to 0.2 ohm mesh: for 55W to 80W. Large clouds and warm vapour. Use more airflow, and expect to use more liquid.
• 0.2 to 0.3 ohm mesh: for 40W to 65W. A flexible range for most vapers and a sensible first choice for this liquid.
• 0.4 to 0.6 ohm mesh or regular coils: for 25W to 40W. Cooler vapour, tighter draw, and often the clearest flavour definition.
• 0.8 to 1.2 ohm coils: for pod kits or tanks rated for mouth-to-lung use. Check the device accepts 70VG before filling.

Every coil has a recommended wattage printed on the side or on the packaging. Stay inside that range, and start at the lower end for the first few days.

Fruit and lemonade liquids contain sweeteners that can build up on a coil as a dark residue. Citrus flavours also tend to be hard on coils because the acidity and the sugar content encourage gunk to form. Plan on a coil lasting roughly one to two weeks with regular vaping, and replacing it sooner if you run it hot. Signs that a coil is finished include a burnt or acrid taste, a dull flavour even with fresh liquid, gurgling, and a darkened cotton.

The following habits extend coil life.

• Prime every new coil: drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton through the holes, then fill the tank and let it sit for five to ten minutes before firing.
• Never fire an unprimed or dry coil: it will burn and will not recover.
• Avoid chain vaping at maximum wattage: give the wick time to refill between puffs.
• Keep the tank above a quarter full: low levels expose the wicking holes and cause dry hits.

If you move to a different flavour, change the coil first rather than hoping the old one will rinse out. Berry and citrus residue lingers in cotton, and mixing flavours on one coil is a common cause of muddy taste.

Nicotine strength guidance and how the maths works

This liquid is sold as 0mg, so every vaper makes a decision about nicotine, even if the decision is to add none. The simplest way to think about it is that the final strength equals the total milligrams of nicotine you add, divided by the total volume of liquid in the bottle after adding the shots.

The figures below assume a 100ml fill and standard 10ml shots. Check your own bottle label for the real capacity.

• No shot: 100ml at 0mg/ml. Nicotine-free vaping.
• One 10ml shot at 18mg: 180mg in 110ml gives roughly 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg: 360mg in 120ml gives 3mg/ml.
• One 10ml shot at 20mg: 200mg in 110ml gives roughly 1.8mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 20mg: 400mg in 120ml gives roughly 3.3mg/ml.

You cannot reach higher strengths than this inside a standard 120ml bottle. That is a built-in limit of the shortfill format, and it is why people who want 6mg, 12mg or more look at pre-mixed freebase or nicotine salt liquids instead.

Some general guidance on picking a strength follows.

• Former smokers who smoked fewer than 10 cigarettes a day: one shot (about 1.6mg/ml) is a reasonable starting point at sub-ohm power.
• Former smokers who smoked 10 to 20 a day: two shots (3mg/ml) is typically the sensible ceiling for sub-ohm vaping, since large clouds deliver a lot of nicotine per puff.
• Heavier smokers or anyone who needs a stronger hit: a nicotine salt liquid in a small pod kit may be more satisfying than a sub-ohm shortfill. Do not try to compensate by vaping a shortfill at excessive wattage.
• People who do not currently smoke: there is no reason to use nicotine at all. Choose 0mg.

Signs that the strength is too high include lightheadedness, nausea, a harsh throat hit or a racing pulse. Take a break, drink some water, and mix a lower strength next time. Signs that it is too low include constant cravings and chain vaping, which can also use up liquid fast.

Vaping is not risk-free and is intended for adults who smoke and want an alternative, not for people who have never smoked. If you are trying to quit smoking, local NHS stop smoking services offer free support and can combine vaping with other aids. Always keep nicotine shots in their original labelled bottles, out of reach of children and pets, and wash your hands and any spills immediately because liquid nicotine is absorbed through the skin.

Who this liquid suits, and who should look elsewhere

Every flavour and format fits some vapers better than others. Here is an honest look at who gets the most out of Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade in 100ml.

It is a good match for:

• Sub-ohm and mesh coil users who want a large-volume bottle that matches their liquid consumption.
• Ex-smokers moving away from nicotine who want to reduce their strength gradually from 3mg to 1.6mg to 0mg by changing how many shots they add.
• Fruit and drinks flavour fans who like berries and citrus rather than menthol, tobacco or dessert profiles.
• Anyone tired of disposables who wants to cut waste and cost per millilitre by switching to a refillable kit. Single-use vapes are no longer sold in Great Britain after the ban that came into force in June 2025, so refillable kits are now the main route for the convenience-minded.
• Vapers who rotate flavours and want a bright berry-citrus option alongside heavier ones.

You might want to look elsewhere if:

• You use a small pod device that is not rated for 70VG liquid or that needs nicotine salts. The thick liquid can wick slowly and leave you with dry hits.
• You need a high nicotine strength. The shortfill format tops out around 3mg/ml, so heavier smokers may find it unsatisfying.
• You dislike sweet liquids. This is a sweet-leaning profile, and a low-sweetener or tobacco flavour might suit you better.
• You want cooling. Without a menthol or ice component, the vapour has no icy finish. An ice-berry variant would be a closer match.
• You do not smoke or vape already. This product is for adult smokers and existing vapers, not for anyone new to nicotine.

People who are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication should speak to a GP or pharmacist before using nicotine products. If you are unsure whether vaping is right for you, a pharmacist or an NHS stop smoking adviser can talk through the options without judgement.

Finally, if you share a household with children, keep every bottle locked away or out of sight. The flavour sounds like a soft drink, and that is exactly why careless storage is a risk.

How to mix, fill and vape it, step by step

Mixing a shortfill takes a couple of minutes and gets easier with practice. Follow these steps for a clean result.

• Step 1, wash your hands and clear a surface. Put down a paper towel in case of drips, particularly if you are adding nicotine.
• Step 2, decide your strength. Use the nicotine maths in the strength section to pick one shot, two shots, or no shots.
• Step 3, open the bottle. Unscrew the cap and the nozzle. Many bottles have a tip that pulls out, which gives you a wide opening for the shot.
• Step 4, add the nicotine shot. Pour the contents of each 10ml shot into the bottle, and squeeze the last drops out. Do not overfill. Refit the nozzle and cap tightly.
• Step 5, shake. Shake the bottle firmly for at least 30 seconds so the nicotine blends evenly.
• Step 6, rest. Leave it for a few hours, ideally overnight, and shake again before filling. Fruit liquids do not need weeks of steeping.
• Step 7, fill the tank. Switch the device off, open the fill port, tilt the tank, and fill to just below the maximum. Avoid covering the central airflow tube.
• Step 8, prime and wait. Give the coil at least five minutes to soak before you fire.
• Step 9, take a few gentle puffs. Start at the lower end of your coil's wattage range and increase in small steps until the flavour is good and the vapour is warm, not hot.

Label the bottle with the date and strength using a marker pen or a sticker, and keep the original packaging if you can. If you only want to mix part of the bottle, pour the amount you need into a clean spare bottle, add the right proportion of nicotine, and keep the rest as 0mg.

When you finish a session, do not leave the device lying in a hot car or in direct sunlight, because heat affects both the liquid and the battery. Store spare bottles upright, in a cool and dark place, with caps tightly closed. Mixed liquid is better used within a few months.

When the bottle is empty, rinse it, and check with your council about plastic recycling. Used coils are small pieces of metal and cotton and can generally be disposed of with general waste unless your council says otherwise, while batteries and devices should go to a drop-off point.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with 100ml shortfills come down to a handful of causes: coil condition, wattage, liquid thickness and tank filling. Work through this list before you decide something is wrong with the liquid.

• Burnt taste: usually a worn or dry coil. Replace the coil, prime it properly, and reduce the wattage. Check that the tank is not running very low.
• Weak or muted flavour: try a fresh coil, a slightly higher wattage within the coil range, or a short break from the flavour to reset your palate. Flavour fade is common with sweet fruit liquids.
• Dry or gurgling puffs: the coil is not wicking quickly enough. Open the airflow a little, lower the wattage, take slower puffs, and give the coil more time to soak after filling.
• Leaking from the tank or bottle: check that the tank is assembled with seals seated, do not overfill, and keep the tank upright. A leaking bottle may have a loose nozzle or damaged cap, so contact the shop if it persists.
• Harsh throat hit or coughing: the nicotine strength or wattage may be too high. Try mixing with one shot instead of two, or lower the power.
• Sticky or gummy residue on the coil and tank: typical with sweetened fruit liquids. Clean the tank with warm water between coils, dry it fully, and replace the coil more often.
• Sharp or sour after-taste: the lemon note can become aggressive at high wattage. Reduce power, or allow the mixed bottle to rest longer so that the flavours settle.
• Thick liquid and slow wicking in a small device: if your pod kit is not rated for 70VG, this liquid may not suit it. Switch to a sub-ohm tank or choose a thinner 50/50 liquid for the pod.
• Cloudy or separated liquid after mixing: this can happen when a shot is poorly mixed. Shake the bottle firmly for longer and leave it for a few hours.
• Nausea or dizziness: stop vaping, drink water and rest. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice, and consider using a lower strength next time.

If you have tried these steps and the liquid still tastes wrong, make a note of the batch number on the bottle and contact customer support. A genuine fault with a bottle, such as a broken seal, contamination or an obvious off smell, is covered by the shop's returns policy, and having the batch number to hand makes it faster to resolve.

Value for money

Cost per millilitre is the fairest way to judge any e-liquid, and shortfills have a structural advantage here because you pay for volume rather than for packaging, a battery and a mouthpiece. Here is how the numbers tend to work out in practice.

• Shortfill in a refillable kit: you pay for the liquid, the nicotine shots, and a coil every week or two. Once you own a kit, running costs are low and per-millilitre cost is the lowest of the main vape formats.
• Nicotine salt 10ml bottles: a small price per bottle but a high price per millilitre, and they are used up quickly if you vape throughout the day.
• Disposable devices: now banned from sale in Great Britain, and always the most expensive way to vape per millilitre, because each unit contains about 2ml of liquid plus a battery and a casing.

A 100ml bottle mixed up to 120ml holds roughly sixty times the liquid in a standard disposable. Even after adding the price of nicotine shots, a few coils and some tank wear, the monthly cost of a refillable setup typically comes out well below the cost of buying disposables to cover the same period. Check the current price on this page, add the cost of the shots you need, and divide by 100 or 120 to see your real cost per millilitre.

There are hidden costs to be honest about. You need a compatible refillable device, which has an upfront cost. Coils are consumables, and sweet fruit liquids such as this one can shorten coil life slightly. If you prefer to buy multiple flavours, the cost adds up, though a single 100ml bottle gives enough variety to keep a rotation going for weeks.

A few ways to keep costs down follow.

• Buy nicotine shots in multipacks when you need more than one per bottle.
• Match coil wattage to the recommended range, since over-driving a coil wears it out faster.
• Mix only what you will use within a few weeks, and store the rest as 0mg.
• Watch for multi-buy offers on 100ml bottles if you already know you like the flavour.

Taking all of this together, Nexus 100ml Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade offers sensible value for anyone who already vapes from a refillable tank. It is not the right buy for someone who only vapes occasionally, or who is likely to find the flavour too sweet, and in those cases a smaller bottle makes more sense.

How it compares with other berry and lemonade shortfills

The 100ml shortfill market in the UK is crowded, and many brands offer berry, citrus and lemonade blends. Several labels, including IVG, Doozy Vape Co and Ohm Boy, sell 100ml fruit shortfills in comparable formats. Without overstating the differences, these are the factors that usually separate one from another.

• Sweetness level: some brands lean very sweet, others use a drier, more tart finish. Nexus Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade sits in the medium to high sweetness range, which is typical for the category. If you find some competitor bottles too sugary, you may find this similar.
• Flavour clarity: blends with many fruits can blur together. A three-note recipe like this one keeps the profile easy to read, which suits people who want a recognisable flavour rather than a complex mix.
• Cooling: many rival berry flavours add menthol or ice. This one, going by its name, does not. That makes it a better fit for people who dislike the numbing effect of cooling agents, but a weaker fit for those who want an icy finish.
• VG/PG ratio: most 100ml bottles use 70VG/30PG, though a few use 50/50. Check the label and your device before buying.
• Price and bottle size: prices differ between brands and shops and change over time. Compare the cost per millilitre rather than the headline price.

It is also worth comparing against pre-mixed alternatives. A 10ml nicotine salt bottle in a lemonade-berry flavour will deliver a stronger nicotine hit and suit a small pod, but it costs far more per millilitre and does not work well in a sub-ohm tank. A freebase pre-mixed 10ml bottle at 3mg or 6mg avoids the mixing step, but you pay for the convenience and cannot adjust the strength.

If you have already tried berry-lemonade combinations from other brands, a fair way to judge this one is to buy a single bottle, run it through one full tank cycle on a fresh coil, and compare how long the flavour holds up and how heavy the sweetness feels on your palate. If it does not suit you, the sibling flavours in the same range are an easy way to stay with the same bottle format and the same mixing routine.

In short, this liquid is not trying to reinvent the category. It is a straightforward, easy to read berry-and-citrus recipe in a generous bottle size, sold at a price that is in line with the rest of the market. For vapers who like that style, it is a reasonable everyday option, and for those who want something more unusual, there are plenty of alternatives to explore.
