RiotThe Blueberry Sour Raspberry Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts 10mg by Riot in Blueberry Sour Raspberry at 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts in Blueberry Sour Raspberry is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid built for people who like the flavour style of a modern disposable vape bar but want to run it through a refillable pod kit. The BAR Edition range is designed around that idea: familiar, fruit-forward flavour profiles that echo the sweet, cool and sour combinations popular in bar-style devices, packaged in a standard small bottle that fits the fill port of most pod systems sold in the UK.
This particular bottle is the 10mg/ml strength, which equals roughly 1% nicotine by volume. It is a nicotine salt formulation, which means the nicotine is combined with an acid so that it can be inhaled comfortably at low wattage without the harsh scratch that freebase nicotine can cause at higher strengths. The 10ml size is the maximum bottle size that can be legally sold for nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK, so what you get is the largest legal single bottle rather than a compromise size.
The flavour pairs blueberry and raspberry with a sour note. If you have ever vaped a disposable in a similar profile and enjoyed it, the idea here is that you can recreate something close to that experience from a bottle, using a device you can recharge, refill and keep using for months or years instead of throwing away after a few days. That matters more than it used to: the UK ban on single-use disposable vapes, which came into force in June 2025, pushed many bar-style users towards refillable pod kits, and e-liquid ranges like this one have filled the gap.
In this guide we cover what the flavour actually tastes like, how the 10mg strength behaves, which kinds of devices and coils suit it, how to fill and look after your kit, how long a bottle tends to last, how it stacks up against other bottles in the same price bracket, and what to do if something goes wrong. We keep the language practical and avoid hype, because the goal is to help you decide whether this is the right bottle for your habits, not to talk you into one.
A quick note on the label details. Always check the bottle you receive for the exact nicotine strength, the VG/PG ratio and the batch information printed on the box. BAR Edition bottles are generally listed as a balanced blend, roughly half vegetable glycerine and half propylene glycol, which is a sensible ratio for pod kits because it flows easily into small coils and gives a decent mix of flavour and vapour. The printed label on your bottle always takes priority over any general description.
Blueberry Sour Raspberry is a layered fruit flavour rather than a single note, and it helps to think about it in three parts: the blueberry base, the raspberry top and the sour finish. Each shows up at a slightly different moment in the inhale and exhale, which is what keeps it interesting across a full bottle.
There is no heavy menthol or ice in this profile, so it is not a cooling flavour in the way an ice-heavy blue raspberry might be. Some vapers like to describe it as sweet, tart and juicy rather than icy. If you normally reach for cold, menthol-forward flavours, this will feel softer. If you prefer your fruit to taste like fruit, that softness is the point.
Sweetness is moderate to high, as you would expect from a dessert-adjacent fruit flavour. Sweet e-liquids can leave a film on coils faster than lighter flavours, which is worth bearing in mind when you decide how often to change your pod or coil. The sour element does help to balance that sweetness, so the result is less sugary than a flat blueberry would be.
Flavour intensity also depends on your device. In a mouth-to-lung pod kit running at lower wattage, the blueberry and raspberry come through clearly and the sour note is gentle. At higher power the raspberry becomes sharper and the sour edge more pronounced, and some people find the whole thing tips towards tart. Our general advice is to start low and only go up if you want more punch. If you are not sure whether you like sour fruit flavours, remember that the sourness here is a supporting character, not the main act, so it is a reasonable first step into the style.
Compared with a freshly opened disposable of a similar flavour, a refillable setup running this bottle will often taste a little cleaner and more consistent, because you are not dealing with a coil that is heading towards the end of a sealed device's life. That consistency is one of the genuine advantages of moving from bar-style disposables to refillables.
Nicotine salts behave differently from freebase nicotine, and that changes how you should think about strength. Because the salt form is absorbed more quickly and feels smoother on the throat, a 10mg/ml salt e-liquid delivers a more noticeable nicotine effect than a 10mg freebase liquid would. This is why salt strengths top out at the UK legal limit of 20mg/ml while freebase liquids used in high-powered sub-ohm tanks are normally 3mg or 6mg.
The UK limit is worth stating plainly: nicotine e-liquid cannot be sold above 20mg/ml. That same cap applied to disposable vapes before they were banned, and it applies to refillable devices and to every bottle sold on this site. If you were using a 20mg disposable and are moving across to a refillable kit, a 10mg salt is the natural halfway point to try first, and a 20mg bottle of the same flavour is the direct equivalent.
Here is a practical way to choose between strengths.
At 10mg, you will typically find that you take more puffs per session than at 20mg because each puff delivers less nicotine. That is not a problem, but it does mean the bottle may go slightly faster than a 20mg bottle for someone who is chasing a particular level of satisfaction. If you notice that you are chain vaping a lot or the bottle is vanishing quickly, it may be worth trying the 20mg version and vaping less often.
If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or slightly nauseous after a session, you may be taking in more nicotine than your body wants. Put the device down, drink some water, and consider moving to a lower strength or taking longer gaps between puffs. Starting at 10mg and adjusting up is generally easier than starting at 20mg and trying to tolerate it.
Finally, remember that strength is a personal setting rather than a ranking. The aim for anyone using vaping to move away from cigarettes is to land on a strength that keeps cravings in check without causing discomfort. For many adults, 10mg salt is exactly that sweet spot.
Throat hit is the sensation at the back of the throat when you inhale, and with nicotine salts it is one of the main reasons people choose them. At 10mg/ml, Riot BAR Edition Blueberry Sour Raspberry has a mild to medium throat hit. It is noticeable enough to feel like a satisfying puff, but smooth enough that it does not make you cough in a normal draw.
That smoothness comes from the combination of salt nicotine and the 50/50 style of base. Propylene glycol carries flavour and gives most of the throat sensation, while vegetable glycerine thickens the liquid and produces vapour. A balanced blend gives a fair amount of both, which is why this ratio is such a popular choice for pod kits. You will not get the cloud-chasing volume of a high-VG liquid in a sub-ohm tank, but you will get a respectable, flavour-focused amount of vapour for a small device.
Vapour production is mostly governed by your hardware rather than the liquid. A typical pod kit running a mesh coil at roughly 12 to 20 watts will produce a modest, tidy cloud. Raising the wattage on an adjustable device increases both vapour and warmth, but it also burns through e-liquid faster and can make the sour raspberry note too sharp. If your goal is to replicate the experience of a bar-style disposable, staying in the lower part of your device's range is usually the better choice.
Here is what to expect at different draw styles.
The warm, sweet vapour is not particularly dry or harsh when the coil is fresh. If you begin to notice a drier, scratchier feel, it is usually a sign that the coil is wearing out or the pod is running low on liquid, not an issue with the liquid itself. Changing the coil or topping up almost always fixes it.
In short, expect a smooth inhale, a moderate hit, a good flavour delivery and a vapour amount that suits discreet, everyday use. It is a comfortable e-liquid rather than an aggressive one.
As an e-liquid, Riot BAR Edition does not have a device body to discuss, but the bottle and packaging are part of the experience and worth a close look, particularly because a poor bottle makes refilling messy and can shorten the usable life of the liquid.
The bottle is a 10ml plastic dropper-style bottle with a narrow nozzle, which is the format required for nicotine e-liquid in the UK. The narrow tip is the important part. Many pod kits have small fill ports, sometimes only a few millimetres across, and a long thin nozzle lets you place a drip directly into the port without the liquid running down the sides of the pod. If you have ever struggled to refill with a wide-mouthed bottle, you will appreciate the difference.
The following features matter in daily use.
The branding follows the BAR Edition style: bold colours that hint at the flavour, with the strength clearly marked. It is easy to tell a 10mg bottle from a 20mg one at a glance, but you should still read the label every time. Mixing up strengths is a surprisingly common mistake when people own several bottles of different flavours.
For storage, keep the bottle upright, tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and out of hot places such as a car dashboard. Heat and light degrade e-liquid over time, darkening the colour and dulling the flavour. A cool drawer or cupboard is ideal. Stored properly, an unopened bottle should stay in good condition until the date printed on the label, and an opened bottle is best used within a few months for the best flavour.
Overall, the packaging does what it needs to do: it is secure, clearly labelled and easy to use with the narrow fill ports that most pod devices have.
Because this is a nicotine salt liquid, the right hardware is almost always a low-power pod kit or a refillable pod system. These devices use small replaceable coils or pods, and their design suits the thinner, flavour-focused behaviour of a 50/50 salt liquid.
Coils fall into two broad categories, and both work with Riot BAR Edition.
When choosing a device, look for these traits.
Well-known pod systems from brands such as Vaporesso, Voopoo, Uwell, SMOK, OXVA and GeekVape have all offered kits that suit this style of liquid. We are not saying any single one is the right answer, because the right choice depends on whether you prefer a draw-activated simple device or an adjustable one, how much battery life you want and what you are comfortable paying. What matters for the e-liquid is that the coil resistance and power range match salt nicotine, not that you choose a particular brand.
New coils need priming. After installing a fresh coil or pod, fill the pod, then wait five to ten minutes before you vape. This allows the cotton to absorb the liquid fully and avoids the burnt taste that comes from firing a dry coil. Sweet flavours leave residue faster, so expect to replace coils somewhat more often than with unflavoured or lightly flavoured liquids, typically every one to two weeks of regular use, depending on how heavy your usage is.
The liquid itself does not have a battery, but the device you use it in does, and a surprising number of vape problems come from battery habits rather than liquid issues. Understanding the basics keeps your kit working well and makes the whole setup safer.
Most pod kits that suit nicotine salts have an internal battery somewhere between roughly 400mAh and 1,000mAh, with some larger kits going beyond that. For a light to moderate user running a low-wattage device, a battery of 500 to 800mAh will usually last a full day. A heavier user, or someone running a higher wattage, may need to top up midday. Draw-activated devices with no screen tend to be more efficient than adjustable ones, because they are not powering a display and are fixed at a modest wattage.
Here is a straightforward charging routine that suits nearly all pod kits.
If the device has a built-in battery, it will lose some capacity gradually over a year or two of daily use. That is normal. If it begins to swell, get unusually hot while charging or smells strange, stop using it immediately and dispose of it properly.
Disposal is where UK rules matter. Batteries and vape devices must never go in your general waste or household recycling bin, because lithium cells can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Take old devices, pods with batteries attached and spent vapes to a battery or small electrical recycling drop-off point. Many UK supermarkets and household waste recycling centres have collection points, and since the 2025 changes retailers that sell vapes are expected to take back used ones. Empty e-liquid bottles can usually go in your household plastic recycling once they are fully empty, but check your local council's guidance as practice varies.
A well-maintained battery makes your e-liquid taste better too, because a device that is running low can deliver weaker or inconsistent power. Charge before it is completely flat for the most reliable experience.
Filling a pod kit takes about a minute once you have done it a couple of times. Doing it carefully prevents leaks, flooded coils and wasted liquid. The steps below suit nearly all pod systems.
For the best experience with a bar-style flavour, a few habits help. Take slow, steady draws of two to four seconds rather than short sharp hits, because this lets the coil heat evenly and prevents hot spots. Leave 20 to 30 seconds between puffs if you are vaping continuously, which gives the cotton time to re-wet. Avoid chain vaping at high power with sweet liquids, since that is when coils get gunked up and flavour fades.
Do not mix this liquid with other bottles in the same pod. Mixing flavours can give strange results, and mixing strengths changes the nicotine you take in without you realising. When you want to change flavour, either run the pod nearly empty first, or swap to a fresh pod. Ghosting, where the previous flavour lingers, is much less noticeable if you change the pod rather than just the liquid.
Keep the device clean. Wipe the contacts between the pod and the battery with a dry cotton bud now and then. Any liquid residue on the contacts can cause the device to misfire or stop working, which is easy to mistake for a fault.
People often ask how many puffs they will get from a bottle, and the honest answer is that it varies a lot with your device and habits. We can still give a reasonable range so you can plan your spending and know when to reorder.
A 10ml bottle is five times the volume of the 2ml pod found in most refillable kits. In real terms, that is about five full pod fills. How long those fills last depends on how much you vape.
Several factors push usage up or down.
For a quick comparison, bar-style disposables of the previous generation were often rated around 600 puffs, and a typical 2ml pod can deliver something in the region of several hundred puffs per fill, depending on the factors above. With five fills in a 10ml bottle, you are looking at an overall puff count in the low thousands for a moderate user. That makes a refillable setup considerably better value than buying single-use devices, and it avoids the waste of throwing away a battery and plastic body each time.
Shelf life is also worth noting. An unopened bottle stored cool and dark keeps its flavour until its best-before date. Once opened, oxygen and warmth slowly dull the taste, particularly the bright raspberry note. Using a bottle within about three months of opening is a good rule of thumb. If you buy several bottles at once, keep the spares sealed and out of the light.
Most problems with e-liquid and pod kits are small, and nearly all can be solved in a couple of minutes. Here are the issues we see most often and what to do about each.
If you think the e-liquid itself is faulty, for instance the colour has changed sharply, there is a chemical smell, or the taste is off straight out of a sealed box, stop using it and contact the shop with your order number and a photo of the bottle and batch number. A genuine manufacturing fault is rare, but we would rather you checked than carried on using something questionable.
A final general tip: keep a spare pod or coil at home. Running out of coils while a bottle is still half full is the most common reason people give up on a flavour they actually like, and it is entirely avoidable.
No e-liquid suits everyone, and being clear about who a product is aimed at helps you make a better purchase. Here is how we see the audience for Riot BAR Edition Blueberry Sour Raspberry at 10mg.
This is a good fit if you:
You might want to look at something else if you:
It is also worth saying that if you are using vaping to quit smoking, the evidence and NHS guidance support vaping as a useful aid for adults who smoke, and local stop-smoking services can combine it with behavioural support, which improves your chances. This product is not a medicine and is not licensed as a quit aid, but many adult smokers do use refillable vapes this way.
Finally, think about your own lifestyle. If you move around a lot, a refillable kit needs a bottle in your bag, and that is a small extra thing to carry. If you prefer the convenience of just picking up a ready-made device, a refillable setup takes a few more minutes of effort in return for lower running costs and less waste. For most people who use a vape daily, that trade is worth it.
Price is often the deciding factor, so it is worth weighing up what you get. A 10ml bottle of Riot BAR Edition typically costs a few pounds and provides several pod fills, which usually works out significantly cheaper per puff than single-use alternatives. Even allowing for the up-front cost of a pod kit and the occasional replacement coil, a refillable setup tends to pay for itself within the first few weeks if you were previously buying a disposable every few days.
It also helps to compare against similar bottles on the market. We try to be fair here, because each range has its own strengths.
Where Riot BAR Edition stands out is the clear focus on recreating bar-style fruit flavours with a layered profile, along with a sensible price in a standard bottle. Where it may fall short for some people is flavour variety if you want unusual tastes, or if you prefer a lot of menthol cooling that this particular flavour does not provide.
On UK rules, here is a quick summary so you know what you are buying. Nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml and bottles at 10ml. Refillable tanks and pods are capped at 2ml. Packaging must carry a health warning and child-resistant closures. Products must be notified to the MHRA before sale, and sellers must verify that buyers are at least 18. Single-use disposable vapes can no longer be sold, which is part of why refillable kits and bottles like this one have become the standard route for bar-style flavours.
Looking after the environment is simple. Empty bottles can generally go in household plastic recycling, while batteries, pod kits and any vape with a built-in battery should go to a recycling drop-off point. Never put lithium batteries in normal bins. Together with the long life of a rechargeable device, a refillable kit uses far fewer resources than the stream of disposables it replaces.
All things considered, Riot BAR Edition Blueberry Sour Raspberry in 10mg offers a straightforward proposition: a layered, tart berry flavour, a moderate and smooth nicotine strength, a standard bottle that suits nearly any pod kit and a cost per puff that beats single-use alternatives. It is not a product for everybody, but for adults who liked bar-style fruit flavours and want something refillable, it is a reasonable and practical choice.

Riot Squad e-liquids (including the Deluxe and bar-style ranges) are known for bright, playful flavour builds with premium bottling.
Choose 10mg if you are a light to moderate vaper, are stepping down from higher strengths or find 20mg too harsh. Choose 20mg if you previously used a 20mg disposable or are moving away from heavy smoking and want the same hit. Salt nicotine feels stronger than freebase at the same number, so 10mg is a good starting point if you are unsure.
The e-liquid has no battery of its own, but your pod kit does. Use the supplied USB-C cable with a standard 5V phone charger, charge on a hard surface and do not leave it unattended overnight. Unplug once the indicator shows full. Recycle old batteries and vapes at a drop-off point rather than in your normal bin.
Riot BAR Edition is sold in a range of fruit and sweet flavours, and most are available in both 10mg and 20mg strengths. Browse the Riot brand page to see the flavours we currently have in stock. If you want to swap, finish or empty your pod first, or use a fresh pod, so the old flavour does not linger.
A 10ml bottle fills a typical 2ml pod about five times. A moderate vaper usually gets one to two weeks from a bottle, a light user may stretch it to two weeks or more, and a heavy user could finish it in three to five days. Higher wattage, long draws and leaking pods all use liquid faster.
Yes, in most cases. Even after buying a pod kit, a refillable setup costs far less per puff than buying a single-use device every few days. Coils need replacing every one to two weeks with sweet flavours, but this is still a small ongoing cost. Single-use disposable vapes are also no longer legal to sell in the UK.
It suits adult smokers and vapers who like sweet, tart fruit flavours and use a low-power pod kit. It is not for under 18s, people who have never smoked or vaped, or anyone pregnant or with a heart condition without medical advice. If you want big clouds from a sub-ohm tank, a different type of liquid is more suitable.
Almost certainly. It is a nicotine salt liquid with a balanced VG/PG base, designed for pod kits with coils of roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohm running at low wattage. It is not suited to high-wattage sub-ohm tanks. Check your device's recommended power range and coil resistance, and always use the bottle's narrow nozzle to fill the port.
