Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts 10mg Mango Vanilla Ice Cream: Overview

Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts 10mg Mango Vanilla Ice Cream is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid from Riot, made for adult vapers who enjoy the dessert-fruit style of flavour that disposable vape bars made familiar and who now use refillable pod kits. The profile is ripe mango layered over a soft vanilla cream base, finishing with the rounded sweetness of a scoop of ice cream rather than the sharp menthol chill you get from an 'ice' flavour. It is aimed at people who want a liquid that tastes closer to a pudding than to a sweet shop.

The timing matters. Single-use vapes have been banned in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, and a large number of people who relied on disposable bars have moved to rechargeable pod kits that they refill themselves. The main complaint from those switchers is flavour. Plenty of general-purpose e-liquids are tuned for open tanks and higher power, so in a small pod they can taste thin, heavy or oddly sharp. A Bar Edition liquid is blended around the kind of profiles disposable users already know, and it is made to work at the low wattage that pod kits run at, which is why it has become a familiar first bottle for people leaving disposables behind.

This listing is the 10mg strength. In nic salt terms that is a medium-low option, and it sits at half of the 20mg per ml ceiling that applies to every nicotine vaping product sold in the UK. Mango and vanilla is a rich, sweet pairing, and a moderate strength tends to suit it. Higher-strength salts can make creamy dessert flavours feel heavy in the throat, while 10mg stays comfortable across a long day of small puffs.

In this guide we cover the specification, the taste, how to pick a strength, how the liquid performs, the bottle itself, which devices it suits, how to match it to a coil, how to fill and use it, what to do when something goes wrong, who should buy it and who should not, and how it compares on value. We stick to what can be reasoned from the product type and avoid inflated claims. Where a figure such as the VG/PG ratio can vary between batches, we say so and point you to the label on the bottle you receive.

Important: vaping is for adults who smoke or already use nicotine. It is not risk-free, it is addictive, and it is not for anyone under 18, for non-smokers, or for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice.

Specifications at a Glance

Because this is a liquid rather than a hardware product, the specification list is short, but every line affects how it behaves in your device. These are the details worth checking before you buy.

• Bottle size: 10ml. This is the largest bottle size allowed for nicotine e-liquid in the UK, so you will see the same size on almost every nicotine bottle on the market.
• Nicotine strength: 10mg/ml (1.0%). The legal maximum is 20mg/ml, so this is half of the cap.
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt rather than freebase. Salts are absorbed quickly but feel smoother in the throat at low strengths.
• Total nicotine in the bottle: 10ml x 10mg/ml = 100mg across the whole bottle.
• Nicotine per 2ml pod: 20mg, because pods and tanks are limited to 2ml in the UK.
• VG/PG balance: a blend suited to pod devices. Check the exact ratio printed on the label of the bottle you receive, because brands occasionally adjust formulations between batches.
• Flavour: ripe mango with vanilla cream. Cooling is minimal; this is a creamy dessert profile, not a menthol one.
• Intended device type: refillable pod kits and other low-power devices, with coil resistance from roughly 0.8 to 1.2 ohm.
• Closure: child-resistant, tamper-evident cap with a narrow nozzle designed for small pod fill ports.
• Age restriction: 18+ only.

On the regulatory side, nicotine e-liquids sold in the UK must come in bottles of no more than 10ml, carry a health warning, list their ingredients and use a child-resistant closure. Tanks and pods are limited to 2ml. The same rules cap strength at 20mg/ml, and that limit applied to the disposables that used to be sold as well. The 10mg bottle here gives you room to step up to 20mg later if you find you need it, or to step down to a lower strength as you reduce your nicotine use.

One more point about the total nicotine figure. A typical 2ml disposable at 20mg/ml held 40mg of nicotine across its life. A 2ml pod filled with this 10mg/ml liquid holds 20mg, so half as much in the same volume. Many people find that difference is exactly what they were looking for when a disposable felt too strong or left them with a headache by mid-afternoon.

Flavour Profile: Mango, Vanilla and the Ice Cream Finish

Mango vanilla is a layered flavour, so it helps to take it apart. The mango is the lead note. Vape mango is usually modelled on the sweet, slightly resinous taste of a ripe tropical mango, closer to a smoothie or a mango lassi than to a crisp green fruit. In this liquid the fruit arrives first on the inhale: juicy, rounded and sweet, with a faint tartness at the edges that keeps it from reading as flat syrup.

The vanilla and cream sit underneath and take over towards the end of each puff. Think soft-serve ice cream or a vanilla custard rather than a sharp, spiced vanilla pod. It softens the mango, adds body to the vapour and gives the exhale a smooth, lingering sweetness. That is the reason dessert flavours often feel more filling than plain fruit ones: the cream note coats the palate and the taste hangs around longer.

The 'Ice' in some Riot flavours means a cooling agent, but 'Ice Cream' here is a dessert description. Expect little or no menthol chill. If a drink-style cold hit is what you want, look at an 'Ice' variant in the same range instead. This one is about creaminess, and a fresh bottle should taste warm, round and sweet from first puff to last.

How the flavour changes with power is worth knowing. At lower wattage, around 8 to 10 watts in a typical pod kit, the liquid stays gentle: you get more cream and a softer fruit. Turn the device up towards 12 to 14 watts and the mango becomes brighter and juicier, the vapour warms up and the vanilla gets a little more caramelised. Neither setting is wrong. It is worth trying a couple of wattages on your first pod before settling on one.

A few practical notes from this style of liquid:

• Creamy liquids need clean coils. The sweeteners and cream flavourings that give the ice cream character can build a film on the coil. If the taste starts to feel dull, burnt or faintly caramelised, the coil is usually the cause rather than the liquid.
• The first hours are the clearest. A fresh coil gives the sharpest mango. As it ages, the vanilla becomes more dominant and the fruit softens.
• Flavour fatigue is real. If mango starts to taste muted after a long session, switch to a different flavour for a day. Your palate usually resets quickly.
• Hot drinks and strong food mask it. Coffee and heavily spiced meals dull fruit flavours and can make a dessert liquid seem weaker than it is.

If you like mango but not cream, or vanilla but not fruit, this will not suit you; the whole point is the combination. For a plain fruit taste without dairy-style sweetness, a straight mango or a mango and citrus liquid would be a better fit.

Nicotine Strength: Is 10mg the Right Level for You?

Choosing a strength is the most important decision you will make with any nicotine e-liquid, and nic salts behave differently from the freebase nicotine used in older-style liquids. Salts are absorbed into the bloodstream faster than freebase at the same strength, but they feel much smoother on the throat. In practice that means 10mg/ml of salt can satisfy cravings as effectively as a higher number of freebase milligrams would, without the harsh throat hit that high-strength freebase produces.

As a rough guide, and not as medical advice, these are the groups who tend to find 10mg salts a good fit:

• Lighter smokers. People who smoked around ten cigarettes a day or fewer often find 10mg enough, especially in a pod kit that delivers a tight, concentrated puff.
• Former disposable users who found their bar too strong. Many disposables were sold at the 20mg maximum. If yours left you light-headed or you found yourself putting it down every few minutes, 10mg is a sensible first step down.
• People tapering. If you are reducing nicotine gradually, 10mg is a common waypoint between 20mg and the 6mg and 3mg salts that many people use before stopping.
• Dual users cutting back on cigarettes. A moderate strength can help if you want the vape to feel noticeable without being overwhelming.

On the other side, heavier smokers or people who still crave cigarettes strongly after switching may find 10mg too light. The usual signs are vaping far more often than you planned, working through a pod in a few hours or finding that the urge to smoke keeps coming back. In that case the 20mg version of the same flavour is the logical next step. 20mg is the legal maximum for UK sale, and there is no higher strength you can buy legitimately in a shop, so if 20mg still feels insufficient, speak to a pharmacist or your local stop smoking service about other support.

Signs the strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, a pounding heart, headaches or a burning throat. If you notice those, stop vaping, drink some water and go to a lower strength next time. A sweet, creamy flavour can also hide how much nicotine you are taking, because the vapour tastes smooth and invites long puffs. It is easy to overdo dessert flavours without noticing, so take shorter, slower draws at first and let the strength settle.

Finally, vaping is intended for adults who smoke. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, talk to a GP or pharmacist before you start. The NHS Stop Smoking service can offer free, evidence-based support if your aim is to quit nicotine altogether, and nicotine replacement products licensed as medicines have a longer safety record than any vape.

Performance and Vapour Delivery

A liquid does not have a puff count the way a disposable does, but you can still estimate what you will get from a bottle. A 2ml disposable of the old kind was usually marketed at around 600 puffs. A 10ml bottle holds five times that volume, so under the same conditions it would give something in the region of 3,000 puffs. Real-world figures vary a lot. At low wattage with short draws you may do better than that; at higher power with long draws you will do worse. Treat the number as a rough guide, not a promise.

Here is what to expect from this liquid in a typical pod kit:

• Throat hit: light to medium at 10mg. Nic salts are designed to be smooth, and the cream content softens the hit further, so it feels gentle compared with a freebase liquid of similar strength.
• Vapour production: moderate. Pod kits have small coils and tight airflow, so you get a dense but compact cloud rather than a large plume. Do not expect sub-ohm style clouds from a salt.
• Flavour intensity: noticeable from the first puff, especially the mango. Creamy flavours can take a few puffs on a new coil to reach full strength as the cotton saturates.
• Consistency: stays steady across the life of a pod as long as the coil is healthy. The most common drop-off is a coil that has built up residue from the sweet, creamy blend.

The speed of nicotine delivery is the main reason salts became popular. A 10mg salt in a pod gives a quick, satisfying lift that suits sipping through the day. If you take very long draws or chain vape, you are likely to feel it more than you expect. A better habit is a handful of short puffs at a time, with a pause between sessions.

One point of honesty on the dessert profile. Cream flavours are among the heavier categories for e-liquid, and some people find they get a slightly thicker, sweeter feeling in the mouth than they would from a plain fruit liquid. It is not a defect. If you find it cloying after an hour, rotating with a lighter flavour is a simple fix and also helps coil life.

Temperature affects delivery as well. On a cold day, a liquid that has been in a coat pocket or a cold car will wick more slowly, and the first puffs can taste muted. Letting the pod warm up in your hand for a minute before use can help. In hot conditions, avoid leaving a filled pod in direct sunlight, where the liquid can thin out and leak through the airflow.

Bottle Design and Build Quality

Riot Bar Edition liquids come in a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle. The plastic is soft enough to squeeze controlled drops into a pod, and the nozzle is slim enough to fit the fill ports on most current pod kits. A thin nozzle also lowers the chance of overfilling, because you can see and control the flow.

The cap is child-resistant and tamper-evident. Both are legal requirements in the UK for nicotine e-liquid and both matter in a home with children or pets. Nicotine liquid is toxic if swallowed, and the sweet smell of a dessert flavour can be tempting to a small child or a dog. Store the bottle upright, closed, and out of sight and reach. If anyone does swallow e-liquid or gets it in their eyes, seek medical advice immediately.

Things worth checking when your bottle arrives:

• Seal: the tamper-evident ring should be intact. Do not use a bottle whose ring is already broken.
• Label: it should show the nicotine strength, ingredients, a health warning, a batch code and a best-before date. These are legal requirements, so a bottle missing them should be reported.
• Colour: a mango vanilla liquid may look pale yellow to amber. Vanilla flavourings tend to darken over time, so a slight colour change after a few weeks is normal and does not mean the liquid has gone off.
• Smell: sweet mango and cream. A sharp, sour or chemical smell would be unusual and worth reporting.

Storage matters more with a creamy liquid than people expect. Heat and light speed up the ageing of flavourings, and sweet cream notes can turn slightly flat or sour if the bottle sits on a sunny windowsill. A cool drawer or cupboard is the best place. Keep the cap tight between uses to limit oxidation, and wipe the nozzle clean after filling so residue does not crust around the opening.

For travel, keep the bottle upright in a sealed bag. Changes in air pressure on a flight can push liquid out of a squeezable bottle. Check the airline's policy on liquids and on carrying vaping products before you fly, because rules differ by carrier and destination. Many countries also prohibit or restrict vaping products outright, so check local law before taking one abroad.

Compatible Devices, Battery Life and Charging

This product is a liquid, so there is no battery in the bottle. The battery sits in your pod kit, and the way you look after it affects both your safety and how well the liquid performs. If you are new to refillables, it helps to know what a suitable device looks like.

Nic salts like this one are designed for low-power, small-pod devices. Refillable pod kits in the style of the Vaporesso XROS series, Uwell Caliburn range, OXVA Xlim line and SMOK Novo family are all common examples of the kind of hardware that suits them. They typically use rechargeable batteries between roughly 400mAh and 1,000mAh, charge by USB-C and either auto-draw or have a single fire button. Many also have small power adjustments, which let you move between 8 and 15 watts depending on your preference.

Battery capacity affects how long you go between charges, but it is only half of the picture. The other half is wattage. A 600mAh battery running at 8 watts lasts noticeably longer than the same battery at 15 watts. On a moderate day of use, a mid-capacity pod kit usually needs charging once a day, and a larger battery can stretch to a day and a half.

Charging and battery safety:

• Use a reputable USB-C cable and a standard phone-style charger. Avoid unmarked fast chargers and damaged cables, which can overheat or deliver an unstable current.
• Do not charge unattended or overnight. Most vape batteries are safe in normal use, but a rare fault in a battery that is charging while you are asleep is the worst time for a problem.
• Never charge on a bed, sofa or other flammable surface. Put the device on a hard, non-flammable surface and unplug it when it reaches full charge.
• Stop using a swollen, hot or damaged device. Do not try to repair it.
• Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket with keys or coins. This applies to devices with removable cells.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household rubbish or the ordinary recycling bin. Vapes and their batteries count as waste electrical equipment, and the rules require they are collected separately. You can drop devices off at household waste recycling centres, and many vape shops and large retailers operate in-store take-back points. Empty plastic e-liquid bottles can often go in household plastic recycling once fully empty, but councils differ, so check your local guidance. If you are unsure, retailer drop-off points are the simplest route and keep lithium batteries out of the general waste stream, where they cause fires in bin lorries and recycling plants.

Coils, Mesh and Resistance for Creamy Fruit Liquids

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and getting the pairing right makes the difference between a pleasant flavour and a harsh or burnt one. Nicotine salts perform best with coils in the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range, run at low to moderate wattage. Most pod kits ship with coils or pods already in this window, which is why salts have become the default for small refillable devices.

There are two main coil styles you will meet:

• Mesh coils. A flat sheet of fine metal mesh has a wide surface area, which heats quickly and evenly. Mesh tends to give fuller flavour and denser vapour, and it handles sweet, creamy liquids reasonably well because the heat is spread out rather than concentrated on a thin wire. It is common in current mid-range pod kits.
• Round-wire cotton coils. A traditional wound wire wrapped in a cotton wick. These are simpler and often a little cheaper. The flavour can be slightly more focused and the vapour a touch cooler, which suits people who find dessert liquids a bit heavy.

Resistance and wattage work together. A coil in the 1.0 ohm range usually runs well between 8 and 12 watts for a salt like this. A 0.8 ohm coil can handle a little more, around 10 to 15 watts. If the vapour feels too hot or the sweetness is overpowering, lower the wattage first before changing anything else. You should never need to push a salt to the top end of your device's range to get the mango to come through.

Sub-ohm tanks, usually below 0.5 ohm, are a poor match. They are built for high-VG freebase liquids and power outputs well above 30 watts. Putting a nicotine salt through one produces a very large nicotine dose per puff, hot and harsh vapour and a coil that burns quickly. If your only device is a sub-ohm kit, choose a lower-strength freebase liquid instead, and keep this bottle for a pod device.

Coil life is where dessert liquids differ from plain fruit ones. Vanilla and cream flavourings, along with the sweeteners that support them, leave more residue on the coil than a simple fruit blend. With a liquid like Mango Vanilla Ice Cream, most coils last somewhere between one and two weeks of regular use, a little shorter than the two to three weeks you might get from a light fruit flavour. Signs a coil is ready for replacement are a dull or burnt taste, reduced vapour, gurgling that does not clear or a pod that now needs more power than before to give the same result. Replacing a coil early is cheaper than persisting with a bad one, and it is kinder to your throat.

Priming is the other detail that people skip. A new coil needs a few minutes to soak up liquid before you fire it. If you vape too soon, the wick is dry in places, the cotton can scorch and the damage is permanent, because a burnt coil carries its taste into every puff afterwards. Fill the pod, wait five minutes, take a couple of gentle draws without pressing the button, and then start at the low end of the wattage range.

How to Fill and Use Riot BAR Edition Nic Salts

Filling a pod takes a minute once you have done it a couple of times. The steps below suit most refillable pod kits, but always follow the manual for your specific device.

• Switch the device off or remove the pod. Work with the pod detached from the battery where possible, so nothing fires by accident.
• Open the fill port. Most pods have a silicone bung or a sliding cover. Lift it carefully and check which hole is for liquid, as some pods have a nearby airflow hole you should not flood.
• Give the bottle a gentle shake. This mixes any settled flavouring. Do not shake hard enough to create bubbles.
• Fill slowly. Squeeze small drops against the inside wall of the port rather than straight down, and stop just below the maximum fill line. The central air tube should never be covered with liquid.
• Close the port and wipe any spill. Liquid on the outside of the pod ends up on your fingers and lips. Wipe the pod and the contacts with a dry tissue.
• Wait five minutes. This is the priming time that lets the cotton saturate. Skipping this step is the most common reason for a burnt first taste.
• Start low. Take gentle, short puffs of two to three seconds at the lower end of the power range, then adjust upwards if you want more flavour.

A few habits make the experience better:

• Top up before the pod is empty. Running a pod to dry leaves the cotton exposed to the heat, which burns it. Refill when the liquid is about a third of the way down.
• Do not mix nicotine strengths without checking. Topping up a pod that holds 20mg liquid with 10mg liquid changes the strength you are getting. Mixing is possible, but know the maths first, and it is easiest to finish a pod before changing strength.
• Mixing flavours is fine within the same strength. Mango vanilla pairs well with a plain mango or a vanilla custard if you want to tweak the profile, but mix in the pod, not in the bottle, and only in small amounts.
• Keep your hands clean. Wash them after filling. Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin, and spills on your hands do add up over time.
• Store the bottle upright with the cap on. Check the best-before date and finish liquids within a sensible period after opening.

For first-time users, pace matters. Give yourself a day to learn how many puffs satisfy your cravings at this strength. People coming from disposables often take longer, deeper draws than a pod kit needs, and 10mg salts are efficient. If you feel lightheaded, set the device down and take a break.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with refillable pods come down to a handful of causes, and they are usually fixable at home. Here are the ones you are most likely to meet with a creamy dessert liquid.

• Burnt or acrid taste. Almost always a coil problem: either it was fired before it primed, it ran dry, or it has reached the end of its life. Let a new pod soak for a full five minutes, lower the wattage and replace the coil if the taste does not clear after two or three fills.
• Muted flavour that gets duller each day. This is the classic sign of residue on the coil from cream and sweeteners. Replace the coil, and consider rotating with a lighter flavour so the coil gets a break between creamy fills.
• Gurgling or spitting. Too much liquid in the pod or condensation in the airflow. Tilt the device so the mouthpiece points down, tap out the excess, and wipe the mouthpiece. Next time fill a little lower.
• Leaking from the airflow or base. Often an overfilled pod, a poorly seated bung or hot weather thinning the liquid. Wipe it clean, refit the bung firmly and avoid leaving the device in a warm car or a trouser pocket for long periods.
• Device does not fire. Check the battery charge, the pod seating and the contacts. Sticky residue on the contact pins can block the connection, and a dry cotton swab usually clears it.
• Throat irritation or coughing. Drop the wattage, take shorter puffs and make sure you are not on a higher strength than you need. If you are new to vaping, give your throat a few days to adjust.
• Feeling dizzy or nauseous. You have taken more nicotine than your body wants. Stop, rest, drink water and take smaller puffs after you recover.
• Liquid has darkened. Vanilla flavourings often turn amber over time. A mild colour change without a change in taste or smell is normal. If it smells off or tastes sour, discard it and use a fresh bottle.

When something is genuinely wrong with a product, such as a damaged cap, a leaking bottle straight from the box, or a label that does not match the listing, stop using it, keep the packaging and contact the shop. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality and as described, and a faulty item is covered even if you have opened it. We cover the practical side of returns in the FAQs below.

If a device overheats, swells or smells of burning plastic, switch it off if safe to do so, move it onto a non-flammable surface away from anything combustible, and do not keep charging it. Contact the manufacturer or retailer, and take the device to a proper recycling point rather than the bin.

Who Riot BAR Edition Mango Vanilla Ice Cream 10mg Suits, and Who Should Skip It

No liquid fits everybody, and it is better to say so plainly. Here is who tends to be happy with this one.

A good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker moving away from cigarettes and want a flavour that does not taste of tobacco.
• Used disposable vapes with fruit and dessert flavours and now use a refillable pod kit.
• Found 20mg disposables too strong and want a gentler 10mg step.
• Prefer sweet, round flavours over sharp menthol or sour candy profiles.
• Are comfortable replacing a pod coil every week or two and prefer a lower running cost than disposables.
• Want a liquid that tastes of a recognisable dessert and works at modest wattage.

Probably not for you if you:

• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and illegal for adults to buy them on a young person's behalf.
• Have never smoked or used nicotine. Starting a nicotine habit through a pleasant flavour is a poor trade.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition, high blood pressure or other health concerns, unless a doctor or pharmacist has advised you.
• Smoke a heavy amount and need 20mg to feel comfortable. This bottle is likely to leave you under-satisfied. Look at the 20mg version of the same flavour.
• Use a sub-ohm tank at 40 watts or more. A nic salt is the wrong liquid for that kind of device.
• Want a cooling, menthol or minty flavour. This is a creamy dessert blend with little chill.
• Dislike sweet flavours. Mango vanilla is sweet by design.
• Expect it to work in a sealed, non-refillable device. Only refillable pod kits take bottled liquid, and you should never try to open a sealed product to refill it.

If you are unsure, a smaller step is to start with a single bottle and give it a week. By the end of that week you will know whether you enjoy the flavour, whether 10mg is enough and whether your device and coil are a good match. If you are not happy, the range has many other flavours and strengths, and swapping is easy because every bottle uses the same standard 10ml format.

Value for Money and How It Compares with Similar Liquids

The simplest way to judge value is cost per millilitre and cost per day, not shelf price alone. Take a bottle at a few pounds for 10ml. That works out at a few tens of pence per millilitre. A 2ml disposable that sold for around £5 to £6 worked out at more than £2.50 per millilitre, before you count the battery and plastic you threw away. Even after you add the cost of a pod kit and replacement coils, refilling a pod from a bottle is usually much cheaper over a month for anyone who vapes every day.

As an illustration only, not a quote: if a 10ml bottle lasts around a week for a moderate user, and a coil costs a few pounds and lasts a week or two, the weekly running cost is a fraction of what regular disposable use cost. Your own numbers will differ with how often you vape, how high you run the power, and the coil prices of your device. Check the current price on the product page, and look at multi-buy offers if you plan to stock up.

How does it compare with similar liquids? A fair view:

• Against other bar-style nic salts such as Elfliq, IVG Bar Salts or Hayati liquids: these are all 10ml salt ranges built around disposable flavours, and the core experience is similar. Which one you prefer comes down to the specific flavour recipe. Mango vanilla and mango cream profiles exist in several ranges, and it is worth trying one or two to see whose sweetness and cream balance you like best.
• Against premium dessert salts such as Dinner Lady: these cost more per bottle and often have more complex, layered recipes. Bar Edition is positioned as a lower-priced, simpler option, so expect a more direct flavour rather than a nuanced one.
• Against freebase liquids: freebase is cheaper in bulk and designed for larger devices. It suits tanks and higher wattage, not pod kits, and the throat hit at the same nicotine strength is harsher.
• Against disposables, where they are still available: a bottle gives lower running costs and less waste, but needs a pod kit, coils and a small amount of upkeep.

The honest trade-offs. This is a sweet, creamy liquid, and creamy liquids are harder on coils. You will replace coils a little more often than with a plain fruit flavour, so factor that into your running cost. Flavours also vary from person to person; what tastes like ripe mango and soft vanilla to one vaper can taste slightly artificial to another. The bottle is not a premium handcrafted recipe. It is a well-priced, consistent liquid that delivers a recognisable dessert profile at pod-friendly strength.

All things considered, it offers sound value for adults who smoke, want a dessert-style fruit flavour and use a suitable pod kit. If you are on the fence, try the 10mg bottle first. It is easy to move up to 20mg or down to 6mg later, and the shop's returns policy covers faulty or incorrectly supplied goods.
