PodThe Pod Salt Core 10ml 20mg by Pod at 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Pod Salt Core 10ml 20mg is a nicotine salt e-liquid range sold in 10ml bottles at 20mg/ml, with every flavour priced from £0.99 a bottle. It is made for refillable pod kits and other low-powered mouth-to-lung devices, which means you pour the liquid into hardware you already own instead of buying a sealed unit and discarding it when it runs dry. This page is the overview for the whole range. Each flavour has its own product page, linked in the next section, and you choose your flavour there before adding a bottle to the basket.
Nicotine salt liquids differ from the older freebase style in how the nicotine is formulated. In a salt, the nicotine is bound to an acid (benzoic acid is the usual choice), which lets a vaper use a higher strength without the harsh scratch at the back of the throat that high-strength freebase causes. That is the main reason salts dominate pod kits, and it is why a 20mg salt feels very different from a 20mg freebase in a large tank.
Key facts at a glance:
The range sits under the Pod brand collection and is part of our wider selection of nicotine salt e-liquids. It is a straightforward, low-cost line: no gimmick packaging, no oversized claims, just a familiar salt formula in a long list of flavours. For adult smokers who want to switch to a refillable device, and for existing pod kit owners who want to refill without paying disposable prices, that simplicity is the point.
This product is for adults aged 18 and over only. Nicotine is addictive, and nobody who does not already use nicotine should start. If you are unsure whether a 20mg liquid is right for you, the strength section below walks through the decision.
Twenty-eight flavours is a lot to scroll through, so here they are sorted into four groups. Every name below links to its own product page, where you can add that flavour to your basket. Descriptions are based on what each flavour name signals and on the way these styles usually behave in a pod kit, so check the individual page for the full detail before you commit to a particular bottle.
Fruit with a cooling finish (12 flavours)
Fruit without a cooling headline (7 flavours)
Menthol and mint (4 flavours)
Tobacco-style, coffee, sweets and dessert (5 flavours)
If you are not sure where to start, the ice and menthol groups are the most popular choices for people moving away from cigarettes, because the cooling sensation gives the throat something to register in place of tobacco harshness. The tobacco-style flavours are the obvious pick if familiarity matters more than novelty. You can compare these with the wider ice e-liquids and menthol e-liquids collections.
Flavour behaves differently in a nicotine salt than in a high-VG shortfill, and knowing how helps you pick a bottle you will still enjoy at the bottom of the pod. Salt liquids are normally used in small, low-powered pods with a restricted airflow, so the vapour reaching your mouth is concentrated and fairly warm. That tends to push flavour forward on the inhale rather than building it slowly across a big cloud. Fruit flavours come across as direct and clear, menthol and ice arrive quickly, and tobacco-style flavours read as dry and slightly toasted rather than sweet.
A few patterns hold across most of the range:
Throat hit is the other half of the experience. At 20mg a salt delivers a defined, smooth hit in the upper chest rather than a sharp scratch at the throat. Menthol and ice flavours slightly amplify the sense of a hit because the cooling sensation is felt in the same area, so a menthol bottle can feel stronger than a fruit bottle of the same strength. That is a perception effect, not a difference in nicotine content.
Palate fatigue is real. If you stay on a single flavour all day, you may find it seems to fade after a few days. This is often called vaper's tongue, and it does not mean the liquid has gone off. Many regular vapers keep two or three bottles in rotation, for example one fruit, one mint and one tobacco-style, so that each one tastes fresh when they return to it. At £0.99 a bottle, rotating costs very little, and the range gives you plenty of options to try without a large outlay.
Finally, remember that flavour changes with the device. A higher-resistance pod running at low power gives a cooler, less intense taste. A lower-resistance pod at higher power gives a warmer, fuller flavour that also uses more liquid. If a flavour seems muted, the cause is more often the pod and power setting than the bottle itself.
This product is a single strength, 20mg/ml, which equals 2% nicotine by volume. That is the highest strength legally allowed for any nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK, whether it is sold in a bottle or inside a prefilled pod, so you will not find a stronger liquid on any UK shop shelf. Because 20mg is the ceiling, it makes sense to decide carefully whether you need it.
A practical way to think about it is by matching strength to your previous habit and to your device:
To put the numbers in context, a single 2ml pod fill of this liquid contains 40mg of nicotine (2ml x 20mg/ml), and a full 10ml bottle contains 200mg. Those figures describe what is in the liquid, not what you absorb, which depends on how many puffs you take, how long each draw lasts and the power of your device.
Signs that 20mg is too strong for your setup include light-headedness, nausea, headaches, a racing heartbeat or hiccups after a short session. If you notice any of these, stop, take a break and consider a lower strength or a less powerful device. Equally, if you find yourself chain vaping to feel satisfied, the problem is more likely a mismatch between liquid, coil and technique than a need for more nicotine.
If you are a smoker who wants to reduce nicotine gradually, the usual approach is to step down the strength over weeks or months once you are comfortable. You can browse other options in the 20mg e-liquids collection, look at the 10mg e-liquids collection for a gentler step, or explore nicotine-free e-liquids if you want to vape without nicotine entirely. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or your GP before using any nicotine product.
Freebase nicotine is the original form used in e-liquid. It is slightly alkaline, which gives it a peppery throat hit that gets harsher as strength increases. Most freebase liquids therefore stop at around 6mg, and they are usually paired with larger tanks and higher power. Nicotine salts add an acid to bring the pH down, which smooths the hit and lets a 20mg liquid be tolerable in a way a 20mg freebase would not be.
The practical consequences for your setup:
It is also worth knowing what salts are not good for. They are not suitable for sub-ohm tanks, they are not meant to be diluted at home, and they should not be mixed with other liquids in the same pod, because the combined strength becomes hard to judge. If you prefer large clouds, a higher-VG shortfill is the correct product, and you can browse these in the shortfill e-liquids collection. Shortfills are sold without nicotine in the bottle, so you add a separate nicotine shot to reach a lower strength such as 3mg.
A fair summary: salts trade cloud size for convenience and nicotine satisfaction. If your priority is a discreet, pocketable device that delivers a defined hit with minimal effort, a nicotine salt is the sensible fit. If your priority is a huge, cool, flavour-rich cloud, you are looking at a different product category and a different device.
A loose bottle has no puff count printed on it, because the liquid and the hardware are separate. The more useful question is how long 10ml lasts in your own device. UK rules cap a refillable pod or tank at 2ml, so one bottle fills a pod about five times, allowing for a little liquid that stays in the neck of the bottle and the pod.
Most low-powered pod kits use roughly 0.3 to 0.5ml per hundred puffs when drawn for one to two seconds at a time. On that basis, 10ml gives somewhere between 2,000 and 3,300 puffs. Here is what that looks like at different usage levels:
These are estimates, not promises. The real number depends on several things you control:
On nicotine delivery, a 20mg salt gives a quick, defined hit on the first few puffs, then a steady level through the session. Many people find they take fewer puffs than they expected, because the first few are enough to feel satisfied. If you find you keep going without feeling satisfied, check your coil first. A burnt or flooded coil delivers a flat hit that tempts people to keep vaping.
For comparison, a typical 2ml prefilled pod at the same draw rate gives you only 400 to 650 puffs before it is empty and has to be thrown away or refilled. One bottle of Pod Salt Core is therefore equivalent to five of those pods in terms of liquid volume, at a fraction of the price. The value section below puts figures on that.
Choosing the right device matters as much as choosing the right flavour. Nicotine salts perform well in refillable pod kits, which are compact, battery-powered devices with a small, replaceable pod or cartridge that you fill from the bottle. Three popular, widely available examples on this site are the Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini pod kit, the Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite pod kit and the Aspire Gotek X pod kit. These are examples of the kind of hardware this liquid is designed for, not a claim about any specific coil or battery figure, so check each listing for its own specifications.
When you choose a device or pod, these are the features that matter:
The ongoing cost of a refillable kit is the pod or coil. Replacement pods on this site start at roughly £5 a pack, and you can see them in the refillable vape pods and vape coils collections. A pod typically lasts from one to three weeks depending on how heavily you vape and how sweet your liquid is, so budget for a fresh one every so often.
If you do not yet own a device, the pod kits collection and the starter vape kits page are the places to look. Look for a kit that is refillable, because a sealed prefilled kit cannot be used with a bottle of liquid. If you would rather not refill at all, the prefilled pod kits are a simpler route, at a higher cost per millilitre.
The bottle is a standard 10ml plastic dropper bottle with a narrow nozzle, built to fit the small fill port on a pod. The cap is child-resistant and tamper-evident, so you will need to follow the opening instructions printed on it, and the tamper-evident seal on a fresh bottle shows it has not been opened before. The label carries the required nicotine warning, the strength, the ingredients and the batch information. Keep the outer carton or take a photo of the label if you want a record of the batch number.
Follow these steps for a clean, leak-free fill:
Some practical tips: shake the bottle gently before use so the flavour is evenly spread. Never overfill, as liquid forced into the airflow channel will leak or gurgle. Keep the device upright when not in use. If you carry your kit in a pocket or a bag, switch off any button lock or use the cap to keep the mouthpiece clean.
Wash your hands after handling liquid, and wipe any spills from skin straight away. Nicotine can be absorbed through skin, so avoid prolonged contact. For fingers and surfaces, a damp cloth is enough. Store the bottle upright with the cap fully closed once you have finished.
Most problems with a refillable pod come down to a handful of causes. Check the list below before assuming a bottle or a device is faulty.
If you have tried the fixes above and the problem persists, the cause may be the device battery or pod rather than the liquid. A recently opened bottle should look clear to pale yellow. A darker amber colour can simply be the result of age or storage near heat, and it often indicates the nicotine has oxidised, which can make the taste more peppery. If a bottle has changed colour or smell noticeably, stop using it and contact us with your order number so the team can help.
Pod Salt Core 10ml 20mg is a good match for a specific kind of buyer, and a poor match for others. Being clear about that saves you money and avoids a disappointing first bottle.
It suits:
You should look elsewhere if:
A realistic expectation helps. Switching from cigarettes to vaping is a change of habit, and it often takes a week or two to settle on the right device, strength and flavour. Expect to experiment a little. Try one of the tobacco-style options, such as Pod Salt Core Cigarette, if familiarity matters, and keep a fruit or menthol bottle alongside it for variety.
It is also worth stating plainly that vaping is not risk-free. Nicotine is addictive. This product is for adults who already use nicotine and who have decided to use a refillable vaping device.
At £0.99 for 10ml, Pod Salt Core works out at 9.9p per millilitre. That is a low price for a nicotine salt, and it is the clearest reason this range is popular with buyers who refill. Here is how the numbers stack up against the alternatives.
It is fair to say what the low price does not include. You need a compatible device, which costs from around £9 for a simple starter pod kit, and you need to replace pods or coils from time to time. As a quick break-even check, five prefilled pods at £2.39 cost £11.95, while a £8.99 starter kit plus a £0.99 bottle costs £9.98 and still gives you several more refills. That is a rough comparison rather than a guarantee, since the cost of replacement pods and your usage both affect the final figure.
If cost per puff is your main concern, a refillable pod kit with a nicotine salt is hard to beat on price. If convenience is your main concern, a sealed device wins on simplicity and loses on running cost. Neither is wrong, and many vapers keep a refillable kit at home and a prefilled one for travel.
One more honest point on quality: a low price does not mean a poor product. The liquid is sold in a sealed, tamper-evident bottle with a full label, and the flavours are widely available across UK retail. What you give up at this price is premium packaging and a boutique flavour story, and that is a fair trade for most buyers who simply want a reliable, reasonably priced salt.
UK vaping rules shape the product you buy, and it helps to know what they mean in practice. A nicotine e-liquid can be sold in a bottle of no more than 10ml, the nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml, refillable tanks and pods are capped at 2ml, and packaging must carry health warnings and be child-resistant. Pod Salt Core 10ml 20mg is sold in line with these rules, and our checkout verifies that every customer is 18 or over.
Storage and handling:
Recycling and disposal matter too. An empty plastic bottle can usually go in household plastic recycling once it is empty and the cap is removed, but check what your local council accepts. Batteries and vape devices must never go in a household bin or kerbside recycling, because lithium cells can start fires in collection vehicles. Take old devices and batteries to a recycling drop-off point, such as a household waste recycling centre or a retailer with an electrical take-back scheme. Using a refillable kit already cuts waste compared with throwing away a sealed device each time the liquid runs out.
Delivery from us is straightforward. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery with Royal Mail Tracked 24, and orders below that are charged £1.99. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and parcels go out in plain, discreet packaging.

A line of pod-format devices from a mid-tier manufacturer — flavour library skews fruit-forward.
Pod Salt Core 10ml is sold here at 20mg/ml, which is the maximum strength allowed for nicotine e-liquid in the UK. It tends to suit heavier smokers using a low-powered pod kit. Lighter smokers often find it stronger than they need and may prefer a lower strength. Nobody who does not already use nicotine should start with it.
No. A 20mg nicotine salt is made for low-wattage pod kits and restricted mouth-to-lung devices, usually running at roughly 8W to 15W. In a high-powered sub-ohm tank it would deliver far too much nicotine and run hot. For that style of device, choose a shortfill or a low-strength freebase.
The liquid itself needs no charging, but your pod kit has a rechargeable battery. Most current kits charge over USB-C using the supplied cable. Plug it into a standard adapter or a computer port, unplug it when the light shows it is full, and avoid leaving it charging unattended or overnight.
Yes. The range has 28 flavours and they all use the same bottle and strength. To avoid the previous taste lingering, fit a fresh pod when you swap, or rinse and fully dry a refillable pod before refilling. Do not mix two different liquids in one pod, as the flavour and strength become unpredictable.
It depends on your usage. As a rough guide, 10ml gives between about 2,000 and 3,300 puffs in a typical low-powered pod kit, which is around 13 to 22 days at 150 puffs a day, or about a week at 300 puffs a day. Longer draws and higher power use liquid faster.
At £0.99 for 10ml, the liquid costs about 9.9p per millilitre, far below the per-millilitre cost of prefilled pods. You do need a compatible refillable device and occasional replacement pods, so the saving builds over time. It pays back quickly if you currently buy disposable-style products regularly.
It suits adult smokers and existing nicotine users who have a refillable pod kit. It is not for anyone under 18, anyone who does not already use nicotine, or anyone using a high-wattage sub-ohm device. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take medication, speak to a pharmacist or doctor first.

Arrived well-packaged with next-day delivery. Taste is clean and authentic. Nothing to complain about.
Flavour holds up all the way through. Some brands get weaker after a few days but this stays consistent.
The flavour matches the description perfectly. No weird aftertaste. Proper authentic taste.
My partner tried this and now we've both switched. Smooth hit, proper flavour, fair price.
Cracking flavour, honestly. Been through a few of these already. Can't fault it at the price.
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
