Riot BAR Edition Guava Passionfruit Pineapple 10mg at a glance

Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts Guava Passionfruit Pineapple 10mg is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid from Riot Squad's BAR Edition range, built to recreate the sweet, layered tropical profile that many UK vapers used to get from single-use devices. Instead of a sealed unit that you throw away after a few days, you get a bottle of liquid that you tip into a refillable pod kit. That means you keep the same device, replace the coil when it tires, and change flavour whenever you fancy something different.

This particular bottle pairs three fruits that behave well together. Guava brings a soft, slightly musky sweetness, passionfruit adds a sharp, aromatic tang, and pineapple supplies juicy acidity that lifts the whole blend. It is a straightforward fruit mix rather than a candy or menthol flavour, and the 10mg/ml strength places it at the lighter end of the nic salt range. The bottle holds 10ml, which is the largest container UK rules allow for nicotine-containing e-liquid, and the strength sits comfortably under the legal ceiling of 20mg/ml.

Everything on this page is written for adult UK vapers who already smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is not sold or described as a medicine or a stop-smoking aid. If you have never used nicotine, this is not a product to start on. If you do already use it, the sections below explain how the liquid behaves, which devices suit it, how to set it up, how to fix common problems, and how it compares with the other 10ml salts on the UK market so that you can decide with realistic expectations.

Flavour profile: guava, passionfruit and pineapple

The flavour is the reason people buy this bottle, so it deserves a proper description. On the inhale the first note most people pick up is pineapple, because its bright acidity reaches the front of the tongue quickly. It reads as ripe fruit rather than tinned syrup, with a slight tartness that stops the sweetness feeling heavy. Within a second the passionfruit arrives: a sharper, more floral and slightly seedy tang that gives the blend its tropical character. Guava sits underneath both, rounding the edges with a mellow, pink-fruit sweetness that lingers on the exhale.

That layering is what separates a good three-fruit blend from a muddy one. Pineapple and passionfruit are both high-acid fruits, and without guava to soften them the mix could feel sharp on the throat. Here the guava acts as the cushion. On a 10mg nic salt base the result is smooth rather than aggressive, and the exhale carries a clean, juicy aftertaste that fades quickly instead of coating the mouth.

A few practical notes on how the flavour behaves in real use:

• Temperature matters. At low wattage, around 8 to 10W on a 1.0 ohm coil, the pineapple and passionfruit stay crisp and bright. Push the power up and the guava sweetness takes over and the blend turns jammy.
• It is a sweet liquid. Like most fruit salts, it contains sweeteners that can build up on a coil. Expect a coil to need replacing a little sooner than with a tobacco or unsweetened flavour.
• It is not an ice flavour. There is no menthol or cooling agent in the profile, so it will not give the chilled hit of a blueberry ice or watermelon ice liquid. If you want a cooler finish, look at the other flavours in the range.
• Vaper's tongue is real. If the flavour seems to vanish after a long session, that is taste fatigue rather than a faulty bottle. Rest for an hour or switch to something very different, such as black coffee or plain water, and it comes back.

If you have tried tropical disposables in the past, you will recognise the general direction. The flavour is designed to feel familiar to that crowd: fruit forward, easy to vape all day, and not demanding. What it will not do is taste identical to any specific disposable device, because different coils, airflow and wattage always change how a liquid presents. Treat it as a close cousin and judge it on its own merits.

For anyone new to guava and passionfruit as flavours, the simplest comparison is a tropical juice blend with the sugar turned down slightly. It is more nuanced than a plain pineapple liquid, and gentler than the sour-candy tropical mixes that sit at the sharper end of the market.

Performance and puff delivery

Because this is an e-liquid rather than a finished device, performance depends on what you pair it with, but the liquid itself has predictable characteristics. A 50VG/50PG balance is the standard compromise for nic salts. The PG half carries flavour and gives a gentle throat sensation, while the VG half supplies body and vapour. With a 10mg salt at this ratio you get a moderate cloud, a clean flavour on the first puff of a session, and very little spitting or gurgling in a properly sized pod coil.

The question most people ask is how many puffs they will get. As a working estimate rather than a lab figure, a typical low-power pod kit uses somewhere around 0.05 to 0.08ml of liquid per draw once you account for coil size and power. That works out at roughly 200 to 300 draws per millilitre for most users, so a 10ml bottle often delivers in the region of 2,000 to 3,000 puffs. Your own number will move up or down with these factors:

• Power setting: higher wattage uses more liquid per puff and shortens the bottle's life.
• Draw length: long, slow pulls consume more than short, sharp ones.
• Coil resistance: lower-resistance coils usually vaporise more liquid per second.
• Pod capacity: most UK pods hold 2ml, so a 10ml bottle fills a typical pod around five times.

For context, the tropical single-use devices that this range echoes were commonly rated at around 600 puffs on a 2ml fill, which is the maximum tank size allowed for those products. A 10ml bottle therefore holds the equivalent of about five of those tanks. Single-use vapes have also been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, so refillable kits with bottled salts are now the main way to get this style of experience legally.

Throat hit on this liquid is gentle. Nic salts are formulated with an acid, typically benzoic acid, which lowers the pH and lets the nicotine be inhaled without the harsh scratch you get from freebase nicotine at the same strength. At 10mg that smoothness is pronounced, and most users describe the sensation as a light warmth in the back of the throat rather than a kick. If you are used to 20mg disposables, expect it to feel noticeably softer.

Finally, consistency. Salts are stable and do not need steeping, so the first bottle you open should taste the same as the last few millilitres, as long as you keep it in a cool, dark place and the cap is tightened between fills.

Nicotine strength guidance: choosing 10mg

This listing is the 10mg/ml version, which equals 1% nicotine by volume. In the UK, e-liquid nicotine is capped at 20mg/ml (2%), and that same cap applies to the single-use devices that this range imitates. Most nic salt ranges, including the BAR Edition, are offered at 10mg and 20mg, so the decision is usually between a lighter option and the legal maximum.

Nicotine strength is not about how hard the vape hits, it is about how much nicotine reaches your system per puff. A salt formulation delivers that nicotine more quickly and with less irritation than freebase, so a 10mg salt can feel as satisfying to some users as a higher freebase strength while remaining easy to inhale.

Use these guidelines as a starting point:

• Choose 10mg if you smoke around ten cigarettes a day or fewer, you vape casually through the day, you use a very low-power pod, or you find 20mg disposables dizzying, harsh or too strong.
• Choose 20mg if you smoke a pack a day or more, you moved from heavy cigarette use and find lower strengths leave you reaching for the device constantly, or you vape on a very restricted airflow with a small coil.
• Step down gradually. If you are on 20mg and want to cut back, buying 10mg in the same flavour is a sensible way to do it without switching taste at the same time.

There are some important cautions. Raising the wattage on a 10mg salt delivers more nicotine per puff, because more liquid is vaporised, so a 10mg salt in a high-powered device can behave like a much stronger product. Equally, vaping very frequently with a small-capacity pod can mean you take in more nicotine across a day than you expect. If you feel lightheaded, sweaty, nauseous or get a racing heart, you have had too much. Put the device down, drink water, sit down for a few minutes, and consider lowering the strength or the power.

Do not mix nic salts with freebase nicotine shots or other liquids to hit a custom strength. The pH and the ratio of base ingredients are balanced for this exact formulation, and blending can produce harsh, unpredictable results.

The bottle is not suitable for children, non-smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with heart conditions or other medical concerns without advice from a doctor. If you are unsure about nicotine in your situation, speak to a pharmacist or your GP. For help giving up cigarettes, the NHS stop-smoking services offer free local support.

Devices, coils and mesh technology that suit this liquid

Nic salts at 10mg are designed for low-power, restricted-draw devices, not for big sub-ohm tanks. That means pod kits, pen-style refillable systems and small mouth-to-lung tanks, generally with a coil between 0.6 and 1.2 ohm. If your device has adjustable power, 8 to 14W is a comfortable range for most coils in that bracket, and you should check the manufacturer's recommended wattage printed on the coil head.

Coil construction has a large effect on how a fruit blend like this one tastes, so it helps to understand the three common types:

• Mesh coils: A flat or cylindrical sheet of fine wire mesh creates a larger heating area than a round wire. The liquid wicks evenly, flavour is dense, vapour is smooth, and warm-up is quick. Mesh coils around 0.8 to 1.0 ohm are the most common choice for salts and tend to give the most vivid pineapple and passionfruit notes.
• Round-wire cotton coils: The traditional design. They are inexpensive and widely available. Flavour is a touch less rounded than mesh but still clean, and they work well at slightly higher resistances such as 1.0 to 1.2 ohm.
• Ceramic coils: A porous ceramic wick surrounds the heating element. Ceramic is stable, resists dry hits, and holds up well with sweet liquids, though it can take a moment longer to warm and sometimes mutes the sharper top notes a little.

For this liquid a 0.8 to 1.0 ohm mesh coil at around 10 to 12W is a sensible first setup. If you are using a fixed-power pod kit with a preset coil, simply use the coil that ships with the device.

Fruit liquids contain sweeteners that caramelise on the heating element over time. You can slow that build-up by taking shorter puffs, leaving a few seconds between draws so the wick can re-saturate, and never firing a coil that has not yet absorbed liquid. Expect a coil to last somewhere between one and three weeks of regular use, depending on how often you vape and how high you run the power.

Avoid putting this liquid in a sub-ohm tank at 40W or more. It will work, but it burns through the bottle quickly, tastes harsh and delivers a heavier nicotine load than 10mg is intended for. If you prefer clouds, a freebase liquid with a higher VG ratio is the better match.

Pod capacity is typically 2ml, which is the UK cap for tank sizes in nicotine devices. Refilling is therefore frequent, but a 10ml bottle fits comfortably in a pocket or a small bag.

Battery, charging and safe handling of your kit

The liquid itself does not contain a battery, but the device you pair it with does, and getting the battery habits right affects how consistent the flavour is. Most pod kits compatible with this liquid have a battery between 400mAh and 1,000mAh and charge over USB-C. A rough guide is that a 500 to 650mAh pod at 10 to 12W will see moderate users through the best part of a day, while a 1,000mAh device will often last a day and a half.

As the battery drains, a regulated device keeps output steady until close to empty, but an unregulated one lets power fall off and the flavour thins and turns slightly harsh. If your fruit liquid starts to taste muted or hot at the end of the day, plug in rather than assuming the liquid has gone off.

Charging good practice:

• Use the cable that came with the device and a standard 5V wall adapter or a computer port. Avoid high-wattage fast chargers unless the manufacturer says they are supported.
• Do not vape while charging on a device not designed for it, and never leave a charging device unattended on a sofa, bed or pile of papers.
• Do not charge overnight if you can avoid it. Lithium cells are safest when they are watched.
• Stop using any device that is swollen, hot to the touch, or has a cracked casing or damaged cable.
• Keep the battery away from coins and keys in a pocket or bag. Metal can short the contacts.

Small devices have small cells, so topping up little and often is perfectly fine for modern lithium batteries. The cycles on a decent cell run into the hundreds before capacity noticeably falls. When a device no longer holds a charge, it is time to replace it, not to try to repair it.

Disposal matters. Batteries and vape devices must never go into household bins or normal recycling, because a crushed cell in a refuse lorry is a known fire risk. In the UK, vape devices count as waste electrical equipment, and retailers that sell them are required to take them back. You can also drop them at a local council recycling centre or at a supermarket or high-street electrical drop-off point. Before you hand a device in, remove any e-liquid from the pod and let it drain.

Empty e-liquid bottles can usually go into household plastic recycling once rinsed and with the cap removed, but check your local council's guidance because rules vary between areas. Nicotine residue should be kept away from children and pets until the bottle has been rinsed and dried.

Bottle design, labelling and build quality

BAR Edition packaging deliberately echoes the look of single-use vape artwork, with bright colour-coded fruit graphics and bold lettering that make a flavour easy to spot on a shelf or in a drawer. The bottle itself is a 10ml plastic dropper-style container with a narrow nozzle, which is exactly what you need to fill a small pod without making a mess.

Features worth checking when your bottle arrives:

• Child-resistant cap. UK regulations require nicotine e-liquid bottles to be child-resistant and tamper-evident. The cap should require a firm push or squeeze while turning, and there should be a visible ring or seal that breaks on first opening.
• Narrow nozzle. A thin tip lets you aim at small fill ports. If the pod has a slim port, squeeze gently and tilt the bottle rather than forcing liquid in fast.
• Soft plastic. The body flexes so you can control the flow, but it should spring back after squeezing. If it stays crushed, the vent is blocked and you may need to loosen the cap slightly.
• Label information. The label carries the nicotine strength, ingredient list, health warning, batch number and a best-before date. Always read these. The batch code is useful if you ever need to contact us about a problem.

Quality control on the liquid shows up in the details: the colour should be clear to a pale straw shade, with no cloudiness or particles. A slight darkening over many months is normal for fruit liquids with natural-type flavourings, but a strong brown tint, an odd smell or a separated layer are signs the bottle should not be used. The nicotine salt is dissolved evenly and should not need shaking, although a gentle swirl before filling does no harm.

Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tight. Store it away from direct sunlight, radiators and any place where temperatures swing widely, such as a car glovebox. Heat and light degrade both the flavour compounds and the nicotine. Stored properly, an unopened bottle should stay in good condition until the best-before date, usually 12 to 24 months from manufacture. Once opened, aim to finish it within a few months for the best flavour.

Never decant the liquid into unmarked containers, drinks bottles or anything that could be mistaken for a food or drink. Keep it out of reach and out of sight of children and pets at all times.

Who this liquid is for, and who should skip it

This is a product with a fairly narrow ideal customer, and it helps to be honest about it. It suits adult smokers or existing vapers who like fruit flavours, want a smoother and lighter nicotine hit than 20mg offers, and are happy using a refillable pod device. It is also a practical choice for former disposable users who want to keep the taste of tropical fruit but would rather refill a device than buy a new one every few days.

It is a good fit if:

• You already vape nicotine and want a lighter strength for casual or all-day use.
• You have a pod kit or a small mouth-to-lung refillable device that works well with 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coils.
• You like clean, fruit-forward flavours without cooling agents or heavy dessert notes.
• You want to reduce nicotine slowly by stepping down from 20mg while staying with a familiar flavour.
• You want to keep running costs below those of repeatedly buying single-use style products.

It is probably not the right choice if:

• You have never used nicotine. Starting a nicotine habit is not recommended, and even 10mg salts can be strong for a complete beginner.
• You are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under that age in the UK, and we ask for age confirmation.
• You smoke heavily and know that 10mg will leave you under-satisfied. In that case the 20mg version is likely a better match.
• You want big clouds or you run a sub-ohm tank at high wattage. A high-VG freebase liquid will suit you more.
• You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a heart or circulatory condition and have not discussed nicotine use with a doctor.
• You dislike sweet or acidic fruit flavours. This is unapologetically a fruit liquid, and the passionfruit in particular has a sharp edge.

A final thought on commitment. If you are buying your first bottle of salts, you need a compatible device and spare coils or pods as well. That upfront cost is a one-off, and it is the reason refillable kits repay the investment fairly quickly for regular users. If you are unsure whether a device is compatible, check its recommended coil resistance and whether it states that it supports nicotine salts, then message us before ordering and we will help you match them up.

How to use the liquid: filling and first puffs

Setting up a refillable pod is quick once you have done it once, and the process is the same for almost every kit on the market. Take your time the first time, because rushing is how most spills, flooded coils and burnt first puffs happen.

• 1. Check the pod and coil. Make sure the coil head is seated firmly in the pod and that the pod is clean and dry. If you are fitting a new coil, check the resistance is within the range your device recommends.
• 2. Open the pod. Most pods have a silicone plug on the side or top. Pull it free gently and set it aside somewhere it will not roll away.
• 3. Squeeze the bottle slowly. Aim the nozzle at the inside wall of the fill port, rather than straight down onto the central chimney. Fill to about 80 to 90 per cent, or to the max line on the pod. Overfilling forces liquid into the airflow and the mouthpiece and leads to leaking.
• 4. Close the pod. Push the plug fully home. A half-seated plug lets in air and causes leaks.
• 5. Let the coil prime. Wait five to ten minutes so the cotton or ceramic wick can soak up the liquid. A new coil needs a little longer, up to fifteen minutes. Skipping this step is the single biggest cause of dry, burnt first puffs.
• 6. Take a few priming draws. Without firing the device, take two or three gentle draws on the mouthpiece. This pulls liquid through to the coil face.
• 7. Start low. Fire the device at the lower end of its range, take short two-second puffs and wait a few seconds between them. Increase power only if the flavour or throat sensation is too weak.
• 8. Wipe the mouthpiece. Remove any spilled liquid from the outside of the pod and your fingers before you vape. Nicotine on the skin is absorbed, so wash your hands if you spill.

For a mouth-to-lung draw, which suits this liquid and this class of device, pull the vapour into your mouth first, pause for a moment, and then inhale into the lungs. This gives the flavour time to register and keeps the nicotine delivery smooth.

Refilling is best done when the pod is about a quarter full, not when it is completely dry, because a coil running low on liquid is more likely to scorch and taste of burnt cotton. Never mix different liquids in the same pod, and rinse the pod with warm water and dry it fully if you are switching flavours, otherwise you will taste the old liquid for several refills.

Troubleshooting common problems

Nearly every complaint about nic salts traces back to a handful of causes, and almost all of them are easy to fix. Work through the list below before assuming the liquid or the device is faulty.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Usually a dry or worn coil. Make sure the pod has liquid, let it prime properly, take shorter puffs and swap to a fresh coil if it persists. Sweet fruit liquids burn faster than tobacco flavours, so this is the most common symptom with this bottle.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid is reaching the coil. Drain a little from the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear the airflow, and avoid filling above the max mark.
• Leaking from the pod. Check the plug is fully seated, the pod is not cracked and the coil is firmly pushed in. Over-tight squeezing during filling can also pressurise the pod, so release the bottle gently.
• Weak or flat flavour. Could be vaper's tongue, a depleted battery, or a coil at the end of its life. Try another flavour for an hour, charge the device and, if the problem remains, change the coil.
• Harsh throat hit. Power may be too high for the coil. Reduce the wattage, take shorter draws and check that you are not using a freebase-intended coil on a salt. If you normally use 3mg freebase and have switched to salts, 10mg can feel more noticeable even though it is smooth.
• Dizzy, sweaty or nauseous. You have taken too much nicotine too quickly. Stop vaping, drink water and rest. In future take fewer, shorter puffs, lower the power or try a lower strength.
• Coil lifespan feels short. Fruit blends with sweeteners shorten coil life. Prime properly, avoid chain vaping, run lower power and clean the pod between coil changes.
• Liquid looks darker than before. A slight colour shift can occur over time. If it also smells unusual or tastes off, do not use it and contact us with the batch number.
• Device will not fire. Check the battery charge, the coil connection and whether the device has an auto-lock or child-lock feature that needs deactivating.

If none of this resolves the problem, take a clear photo of the bottle label and the issue and get in touch. We would rather help you work out the cause than leave you with a bottle you do not enjoy.

As a general habit, keep a spare pod or a couple of spare coils on hand. A coil failure at the wrong moment is the main reason people end up smoking a cigarette they did not want, so a little planning pays off.

Value for money and running costs

Cost per puff is the real test of value, so it is worth doing the sums rather than relying on the headline bottle price. A 10ml bottle at an estimated 200 to 300 puffs per millilitre should yield roughly 2,000 to 3,000 puffs, as covered earlier. As a worked example, if a bottle cost £4 (a hypothetical figure, so check the live price on the page), that is 40p per millilitre and around 1.3p to 2p per 100 puffs, depending on the figures you use.

Compare that with a typical single-use style device. Those were commonly priced at around £5 to £7 for around 600 puffs, which is roughly 1p per puff. On a straight puff-for-puff basis, a 10ml bottle of nic salts works out meaningfully cheaper once you account for the fact that you are getting something like four to five times the volume of liquid.

You do need to factor in the other costs:

• The device. A reasonable refillable pod kit sits somewhere in the lower tens of pounds, and it is a one-off cost if it lasts for many months.
• Coils or replacement pods. A pack of coils typically costs a few pounds, and you may use one every week or two. Over a year this is the largest ongoing expense after the liquid.
• Charging. Electricity cost for charging a small cell is negligible.
• Replacement kit. Allow for a new device every year or two, depending on build quality.

Taking all of that together, a regular vaper who refills and uses a coil every ten days or so will usually spend materially less per month than someone buying single-use units. The saving is larger the more you vape, and it is not guaranteed for very occasional users, who may find the setup cost takes a long time to pay back.

There are other forms of value beyond the numbers. A refillable device gives you control over strength, so you can step down from 20mg to 10mg without changing flavour. It lets you try different flavours without buying a complete new device each time. It also generates less electronic waste than buying and discarding a battery and plastic casing every few days, which matters as the UK has moved away from single-use vape sales.

Buying multiple bottles at once, when the shop has multi-buy deals, can reduce the unit price further. Because salts are stable, an unopened bottle can be stored for many months without losing quality, so bulk buying is a practical option if you use one flavour regularly. Do keep to a sensible stock level and rotate older bottles first.

How it compares with other 10ml nic salts, and UK rules to know

Riot BAR Edition does not exist in a vacuum, and several other ranges offer similar tropical flavours in the same 10ml format. An honest comparison helps you choose well.

• Elfliq and similar disposable-brand salts. These are the nearest like-for-like options: 10ml bottles, 10mg and 20mg strengths, and a 50/50 base, aimed at people who liked the matching disposable. Flavour matching to a specific device can be closer there if that is your goal. Riot BAR Edition tends to sit at a similar price and offers a broad fruit selection, so the choice often comes down to which tropical blend you prefer.
• Nasty Juice, IVG and Dinner Lady salts. These brands have been established in the salt market for a long time and offer a wide range, including more dessert and drink-style flavours. If you like complexity or non-fruit profiles, their catalogues may suit you better. Their fruit blends can be sweeter or more candy-like than this one.
• Pod Salt and Hayati salts. Pod Salt is known for reliable consistency and multiple strengths, including options below 10mg. Hayati salts lean sweet and bold. If you want a gentler nicotine option than 10mg, Pod Salt is one to consider.
• Freebase 50ml short-fills. These give you more liquid for the money but are not designed for low-power pods, and you would need to add nicotine separately. They suit people who use sub-ohm tanks, not the pod-kit user this bottle is aimed at.

The honest position is that all of these brands make decent liquids, and the differences are mainly flavour preference, pricing and availability. Riot BAR Edition's strengths are an accessible fruit profile, a familiar disposable-style feel and straightforward 10ml packaging. Its limits are the narrower focus on fruit and the fact that tropical blends vary a lot from brand to brand in sweetness and sharpness, so it is worth trying a single bottle before you stock up.

A short reminder of the UK rules that apply. Nicotine e-liquid is limited to 20mg/ml and 10ml bottles, tank capacity is limited to 2ml, and bottles must be child-resistant, tamper-evident and carry health warnings under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations. The minimum age for purchase is 18, and sellers must not supply anyone younger. Single-use vapes are banned in Great Britain, which is why refillable kits with bottled salts are the route to take.

When your device reaches the end of its life, take it to a retailer take-back scheme, a council recycling centre or an electrical recycling drop-off point rather than the bin. Rinse empty bottles and recycle the plastic where your council accepts it, keeping the caps and any batteries out of household waste.
