Overview: what Slush Brew Orange Mix 18mg is

Slush Brew by Ohm Brew Orange Mix is a 10ml e-liquid sold at 18mg/ml nicotine. It sits in the Slush Brew line from Ohm Brew, a range built around iced, slushie-style fruit flavours, and this variant is the orange-led option. Expect a bright citrus profile with a chilled finish rather than a dessert, custard or tobacco flavour. The product on vapeshoponline.co.uk is the 10ml bottle at 18mg, which works out at 180mg of nicotine across the whole bottle (18mg per ml multiplied by 10ml).

Key facts at a glance:

• Format: 10ml e-liquid bottle, the largest size allowed for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK.
• Strength: 18mg/ml (1.8%), which sits under the UK ceiling of 20mg/ml.
• Flavour: Orange Mix, a citrus-led iced fruit profile.
• Use: refillable devices only, such as pod kits and pen-style kits with a refill port or a refillable tank.
• Audience: adults aged 18 and over who already use nicotine.

It is worth being clear about what this product is not. It is not a disposable vape, so there is no built-in battery, no pre-wound coil and no mouthpiece in the box. You supply the device, and the bottle supplies the liquid. That separation is the main reason many UK vapers choose bottled e-liquid: you can change flavour without throwing hardware away, you control how much nicotine you take in, and you can swap a worn coil for a fresh one without binning an entire device. Since 1 June 2025, single-use disposable vapes can no longer be sold in Great Britain, so refillable kits and bottled liquids like this one have become the mainstream route for adult vapers.

The exact VG/PG ratio and the nicotine type (freebase or nicotine salt) are set by the manufacturer and printed on the bottle label, so check the product page and the label before pairing the liquid with a device. That detail affects which hardware suits it, and the sections below explain how to work it out. Everything else in this guide is built around facts we can state with confidence: a 10ml bottle, 18mg/ml, an orange iced flavour, and the need for a refillable device.

Performance and puff delivery

An e-liquid does not have a puff count printed on it the way a disposable does, so performance depends on the device, the coil and how you vape. What we can do is give realistic planning figures. A typical refillable pod kit holds around 2ml per pod, so a 10ml bottle fills a pod about five times. At a moderate pace through a mouth-to-lung pod coil, many vapers get somewhere between 400 and 600 puffs from a 2ml pod, which puts a 10ml bottle in the region of 2,000 to 3,000 puffs. Treat that as an estimate rather than a promise: a cooler, lower-wattage setup stretches the liquid, and a warmer, higher-power setup uses it faster.

Several factors move that number up or down:

• Puff length. Short, gentle draws use less liquid than long, hard ones. Two-second puffs are typical for mouth-to-lung pod devices.
• Power setting. More watts means more vaporised liquid per puff. Staying inside the range printed on the coil keeps both flavour and consumption sensible.
• Coil resistance. Higher-resistance coils (around 0.8 to 1.2 ohm) sip liquid slowly, while lower-resistance coils use it faster.
• Nicotine strength. At 18mg/ml, many people feel satisfied after fewer puffs than they would at 6mg, so strength influences how often you reach for the device.
• Coil age. A tired coil wicks poorly, which can tempt you into longer draws and makes the bottle feel like it goes further than it should while the flavour fades.

Throat hit and vapour. At 18mg/ml the throat hit is firm and noticeable, closer to the feel of a cigarette than a low-strength shortfill. If the liquid has a mid-range PG content, you get a tighter, more flavour-forward vape with modest vapour. A higher VG blend gives denser, smoother clouds but can mute the sharper edges of citrus slightly. Cooling agents in the iced flavour also add a sensation at the back of the throat that some people read as extra hit, so the overall experience can feel stronger than the number on the label suggests.

Consistency. A well-made 10ml bottle should taste the same from the first fill to the last. Give it a gentle shake before you refill, store it upright and out of direct light, and you should not notice a drop-off in flavour between the first pod and the fifth.

Flavour profile: what orange with a slush finish tastes like

The name tells you the direction: Orange Mix in the Slush Brew range. Slush-style liquids aim to recreate the experience of a frozen fruit drink, which means a sweet, juicy fruit note layered over a smooth, cold sensation. In this variant orange leads. The word 'Mix' suggests a blend of citrus character rather than a single flat orange note, so expect the taste to lean towards a rounded orange-soda or orange-juice impression with a little tang to keep it from tasting heavy.

A typical vaping session breaks down like this:

• On the inhale: a sweet, bright citrus flavour arrives quickly, with the tang of orange peel rather than a plain syrup taste.
• Mid-draw: the fruit rounds out and the cooling effect builds, giving the crushed-ice impression the range is named after.
• On the exhale: a clean, cool finish with a lingering sweet orange aftertaste that fades rather than clings.

Sweetness and cooling. Fruit-ice liquids are generally mid to high on sweetness and moderate on cooling. If you dislike menthol-heavy blends, an iced fruit is usually gentler than a straight menthol or mint, because the cool sensation sits behind the fruit instead of in front of it. If you want no cooling at all, this is not the right liquid, and you should look at a non-iced fruit flavour instead.

How heat changes the taste. Citrus flavours are sensitive to temperature. Run the device too hot and orange can turn sharp, slightly bitter and thin, while the cooling effect gets harsher on the throat. A lower to mid power setting keeps the fruit juicy and the finish smooth. If you use an adjustable device, start at the low end of the coil's recommended range and move up in small steps until the flavour is clear without any scratchiness.

Flavour fatigue. Sweet fruit liquids can cause what vapers call vaper's tongue, where the taste seems to disappear after a long session on one flavour. If that happens, take a break, drink some water, or switch to a different flavour for an hour. The liquid has not gone off; your palate has simply adapted. Rinsing the pod or tank and replacing a gummed-up coil also restores flavour that has dulled over time.

Bottle, labelling and build quality

Because this is an e-liquid, the build quality that matters is the bottle, the cap and the label. The 10ml plastic bottle has a narrow nozzle designed to fit the refill ports on most pod kits and tank devices, and a child-resistant cap with a tamper-evident ring. Those features are required for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK, and they are worth checking when your order arrives. If the seal ring is broken or the cap is missing, do not use the bottle and contact the shop.

What to look for on the label:

• The product name and flavour, so you know you have the right variant.
• The nicotine strength in mg/ml and the bottle volume.
• The ingredients list and the VG/PG split, which tells you how thick the liquid is.
• A batch number and best-before date for traceability.
• The health warning that nicotine is highly addictive and that the product is for adults.

Handling. A narrow nozzle means you can fill a pod cleanly if you squeeze gently. Squeeze too hard and the liquid can spurt past the port, so rest the nozzle against the edge of the opening and apply light pressure. Wipe away any spills straight away and wash your hands afterwards, since liquid nicotine can be absorbed through the skin.

Storage. Keep the bottle upright, capped, and away from heat, direct sunlight and damp. A cupboard or drawer at room temperature is ideal. Keep it well away from children and pets; the bottle looks like a harmless flavoured product to a small child, which is why the child-resistant cap exists, but it is not a substitute for storing it out of reach.

Empty bottles. Once a bottle is empty, leave the cap off for a day so the residue dries, then follow your local council's guidance on plastic. Do not pour leftover liquid down the drain. Many vape shops and household waste recycling centres will advise on how to dispose of e-liquid containers, and it is worth checking your council's website because the rules vary between areas.

Device pairing, battery and charging

The bottle has no battery of its own, so everything about power and charging depends on the device you choose. For a 10ml fruit-ice liquid at 18mg/ml, the natural partners are small to mid-sized refillable pod kits and pen-style kits designed for mouth-to-lung vaping. These typically have batteries in the range of roughly 400mAh to 1,000mAh and charge over USB-C. A larger battery does not make the liquid last longer, but it does mean you can go longer between charges.

Rough battery guidance for planning:

• Around 400 to 650mAh: slim, pocketable kits. Plan to charge daily if you vape throughout the day.
• Around 800 to 1,000mAh: a full day for most light to moderate users, sometimes a little more.
• Adjustable-wattage mods: battery life depends heavily on the wattage you choose, so lower wattage with a higher-resistance coil is kinder to both battery and liquid.

Charging safely. Use the cable that came with the device, or a good-quality USB-C cable, and a standard 5V wall adapter or computer port. Do not leave the device charging overnight or unattended, and unplug it once the indicator shows it is full. Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, never under a pillow, on a sofa or in a bag. If a battery becomes hot, swollen, damaged or smells odd, stop using it and take it to a recycling point rather than the bin.

Recycling devices and batteries. Vape devices contain lithium batteries and electronics, so they should never go into household rubbish or kerbside recycling. In the UK, shops that sell vapes are expected to take back waste vapes, and household waste recycling centres accept small electrical items. The Recycle Your Electricals drop-off locator is a quick way to find your nearest point. Removable cells should be taken to a battery bin, and devices with built-in batteries to an electrical recycling point.

A note on UK nicotine limits. The 20mg/ml cap applies to all nicotine vaping products sold in the UK, including the pods and disposables that used to dominate the market. An 18mg/ml bottle sits just under that ceiling, so it is a high-strength liquid and should be paired with a device that restricts airflow and power, not a high-output sub-ohm kit.

Coils, mesh and wicking: choosing the right hardware

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and the right coil makes a noticeable difference to how Orange Mix tastes. At 18mg/ml, the coil should be built for mouth-to-lung vaping. As a rule of thumb, look for coils at roughly 0.8 ohm and above for pod kits and 0.6 ohm for mesh designs running at modest power. Sub-ohm coils (below 1.0 ohm in the strict sense of sub-ohm tanks, typically 0.15 to 0.4 ohm) are made for much higher-VG, lower-strength liquids and are a poor match for 18mg: they produce large volumes of vapour at high power, which delivers far more nicotine per puff than most people want and makes the throat hit uncomfortable.

The main coil types you will meet:

• Round-wire coils. A traditional wound coil with a cotton wick. It heats up quickly, suits thinner liquids and is common in budget pod kits.
• Mesh coils. A flat mesh screen with a large surface area, which heats evenly and often gives clearer, fuller flavour from fruit liquids. Many mesh coils reach full flavour almost straight away.
• Ceramic coils. Porous ceramic that holds up well to repeated use and is gentle on flavour, although some designs can feel slightly muted until they are fully primed.

Priming a new coil. A dry coil burns, and a burnt coil cannot be repaired. Before first use, fill the pod and let it sit for five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks through. Take two or three gentle draws without pressing the fire button, then start vaping at low power. This simple routine prevents most early coil failures.

Coil lifespan. A coil on a fruit-ice liquid typically lasts one to two weeks of regular use, sometimes less if you chain vape or run it hot. Sweet liquids and cooling agents can darken the cotton over time. When the flavour turns flat, muddy or slightly burnt, replace the coil rather than turning up the power to compensate.

Liquid thickness and wicking. Thicker, higher-VG liquids need coils with larger wicking holes, while thinner, mid-PG blends flow comfortably through small pod coils. Check the VG/PG split printed on the bottle and match it with the coil manufacturer's guidance. If you are in doubt, a mesh coil designed for general mouth-to-lung use is a safe starting point for most 10ml fruit liquids.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 18mg/ml right for you?

Nicotine strength is the most important decision with any 10ml e-liquid, so it deserves care. 18mg/ml is a high strength. In freebase nicotine it feels firm, similar to a traditional cigarette, with a noticeable throat hit. In a nicotine salt liquid, 18mg/ml feels smoother but delivers nicotine faster, so it can be quite strong in practice. The label should tell you which type this bottle contains, and that changes how the strength feels.

A starting point for choosing, with the caveat that everyone is different:

• Heavier smokers (around 20 or more cigarettes a day): 18mg/ml is a common starting strength in a mouth-to-lung device. It aims to take the edge off cravings without needing constant puffing.
• Moderate smokers (10 to 20 a day): 12mg/ml is often enough. If you find 18mg/ml harsh or dizzying, this is the strength to try next.
• Light smokers or social smokers: 6mg/ml or lower is usually plenty. 18mg/ml is likely to be too strong.
• People who have never used nicotine: nicotine is addictive and vaping is not for you. Do not start.

Signs your strength may be too high. Nausea, dizziness, a racing heart, headaches, sweating or a harsh throat after only a few puffs are all signs of too much nicotine. If you notice any of these, stop vaping, get some fresh air and drink water. Next time, try a lower strength or take fewer, shorter puffs. If symptoms are severe or do not pass, seek medical advice.

Signs your strength may be too low. If you find yourself vaping constantly, taking very long draws or reaching for cigarettes again, a higher strength may suit you better. Be careful to adjust one step at a time rather than jumping straight to the top of the range.

UK rules and numbers. The legal maximum for nicotine e-liquid in the UK is 20mg/ml in a bottle of no more than 10ml. This 18mg bottle is just under that cap. A full 10ml bottle contains 180mg of nicotine, so a 2ml pod holds 36mg. Seeing the figures in milligrams helps explain why strength matters, particularly if you are used to a 20mg disposable and are moving to bottles.

Special circumstances. Nicotine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and anyone with a heart condition or other health concerns should speak to a doctor or pharmacist before vaping. Vaping is not risk-free, and the aim for adult smokers should always be to reduce nicotine over time where possible.

Who Slush Brew Orange Mix is for, and who should skip it

Choosing a liquid is partly about taste and partly about lifestyle. This section is blunt on purpose, because the right fit saves money and avoids disappointment.

Good fits:

• Adult smokers moving to vaping who want a fruit flavour at a strength close to what they are used to.
• Existing mouth-to-lung vapers who like iced fruit and want to refill their own pods or tank.
• Former disposable users who have switched to a refillable pod kit and want a flavour that echoes the fruit-ice profiles that were popular in single-use vapes.
• People who value flexibility and are happy to buy coils, refill their own device and swap flavours when they get bored.

Poor fits:

• Anyone under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to under 18s in the UK, and we do not want them as customers.
• Non-smokers and people who have never used nicotine. An 18mg/ml liquid is strong and not intended for them.
• Cloud chasers. This is a high-nicotine liquid, and the sub-ohm kits used for big vapour are the wrong match.
• People who dislike a cooling sensation. If you want a plain, warm fruit flavour, choose a non-iced variant.
• Anyone looking for a zero-effort option. Refilling pods and changing coils takes a few minutes. If you want a device you charge and throw away, a refillable setup will feel like more work, and with single-use vapes now banned for sale in Great Britain, a pre-filled pod kit may be an easier route.
• People who are pregnant or have heart conditions. Speak to a health professional before using any nicotine product.

A middle ground. Some vapers find 18mg/ml too strong for all-day use but like the flavour. If that sounds like you, look for a lower-strength variant of the same flavour, or save this bottle for the times you want a firmer hit, such as the first vape of the day, and use a lower-strength liquid the rest of the time.

How to use: filling, priming and vaping

Using a bottled e-liquid for the first time is straightforward once you know the steps. The routine below applies to most pod kits and refillable tanks. Always read the instructions that come with your device, as fill ports differ.

• 1. Prepare. Wash and dry your hands, switch the device off and make sure you are working on a clean, flat surface. If your device has a fill port cover, open it.
• 2. Check the coil. If the coil is more than a couple of weeks old or the flavour has dulled, fit a new one before refilling.
• 3. Fill. Remove the cap, rest the nozzle against the edge of the port and squeeze gently. Fill to just below the maximum line. Do not cover the central airflow tube, as liquid there will flood the device.
• 4. Close and wait. Close the fill port, wipe off any spills and let the device sit upright for five to ten minutes. This lets the cotton soak and prevents dry hits.
• 5. Prime. Take two or three gentle draws without pressing the fire button to draw liquid through the wick.
• 6. Vape. Start at a low to mid power setting if your device is adjustable, or at the default for an auto-draw device. Use slow, smooth puffs of two to three seconds. Increase power in small steps only if the flavour is faint.
• 7. Clean up. Wipe the mouthpiece, recap the bottle tightly and store it upright out of reach of children.

Helpful habits. Do not let the liquid level drop below a quarter of the capacity, since that can lead to dry hits. Rest between draws for 10 to 30 seconds to let the wick resaturate. Keep a spare coil in your bag, and refill before you are completely empty. When switching from this liquid to a different flavour, empty the pod, rinse it with warm water, dry it fully and consider fitting a fresh coil so the flavours do not mix.

Using it with a new device. If you are new to vaping, ask the shop which kits suit an 18mg/ml mouth-to-lung liquid. Look for a device with restricted airflow, a coil of 0.8 ohm or above, and a battery of at least 650mAh. That combination matches this strength well and is easy to maintain.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a refillable setup come down to a handful of causes. Here is what to check, in rough order of how often each one comes up.

• Dry or burnt taste. The coil is either not saturated or worn out. Check that there is liquid in the pod, wait a few minutes after refilling, take a few priming draws and lower the power. If the taste persists, replace the coil.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid has built up in the airflow. Remove the pod and blow gently through the mouthpiece, wipe it dry, and avoid overfilling next time.
• Leaking. Check that the pod is seated properly, the fill port is shut and the coil is screwed in fully. Do not carry the device on its side, and wipe the base before pocketing it. Pressure changes on flights can also push liquid out, so keep the pod nearly empty or capped when travelling.
• Weak flavour. A tired coil, vaper's tongue or a half-empty pod are the usual causes. Replace the coil, take a break from the flavour and refill.
• Harsh throat hit. The strength may be too high for you, the power may be too high, or the draws may be too long. Reduce power, take shorter puffs and consider a lower-strength liquid.
• Overly sweet or sticky taste. Sweet liquids leave residue. Rinse the pod in warm water, dry it fully and fit a new coil.
• Little or no vapour. Check the battery charge, the coil connection and the airflow. If the pod is full and the device is charged, the coil may be flooded or failed.
• Device flashing or not firing. The usual causes are a low battery, a poorly seated pod or a coil connection fault. Charge, reseat the pod and clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud.

When to stop. If a device overheats, produces a burning smell, swells or leaks fluid from the battery area, stop using it and take it to a recycling point. Never try to repair a damaged battery. If the e-liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water; if it gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If a child or pet swallows any liquid, contact emergency services or a doctor immediately.

Still stuck? Contact the shop with the name of the device and a description of the symptom. A short message with the details usually speeds up a diagnosis, and if the problem is a faulty bottle, we will sort it out.

Value for money

Judging value in refillable vaping means looking at the full running cost rather than the bottle price alone. Check the current price on the product page, then work through these questions.

Cost per bottle. A 10ml bottle gives roughly 2,000 to 3,000 puffs under typical conditions, which is the planning range from earlier in this guide. Divide the bottle price by that range to get a rough cost per puff, then add the coil cost described below.

Coil costs. Coils are the main extra expense. A pack usually contains several coils, and each lasts one to two weeks of regular use. A bottle that lasts a week or two will therefore use about one coil. That adds a modest but real amount to the running cost, and it is worth including when you compare against alternatives.

Device costs. A refillable pod kit has a one-off purchase price and then lasts months or years with new coils and the occasional replacement pod. Compared with buying single-use devices, which are no longer legal to sell in Great Britain, the refillable route reduces waste and, over time, running costs.

Points that affect value:

• Bottle size. At 10ml, this is the standard UK size for nicotine e-liquid. Larger quantities of liquid come as shortfills with separate nicotine shots, which suit a different type of device and a different routine.
• Multi-buy deals. Check the shop for bundles and multi-buy offers if you use a bottle a week, since a small saving per bottle adds up.
• Wasted liquid. A flavour you do not enjoy is poor value at any price. If you are unsure, try a single bottle before stocking up.
• Strength fit. Buying the right nicotine strength avoids wasting liquid and money on a bottle that is too harsh or too weak.

Our view. For an adult smoker who wants a fruit-ice flavour in a refillable device, a 10ml bottle at 18mg/ml is a reasonable and flexible option. It is not the cheapest way to vape, but it offers more control and less waste than a throwaway device. If cost is your main concern, compare the cost per millilitre of the 10ml bottle with other brands and also consider nicotine salt bottles in the same size, as many are similarly priced.

How it compares with the alternatives

A fair comparison means looking at what else you might buy instead, not only other brands. Here is how Slush Brew Orange Mix 18mg stacks up against the common alternatives, including where it falls short.

Against other 10ml iced fruit liquids. Many UK brands make orange, berry and tropical ice flavours in 10ml bottles. The differences come down to how sweet they are, how strong the cooling is and how true the fruit tastes. Slush Brew is built around a frozen drink concept, so the sweetness and chill are part of the design. If you want a sharper, less sweet citrus or a stronger menthol hit, other ranges may suit you better. The honest way to decide is to buy one bottle, not a stack.

Against nicotine salt liquids. Nicotine salt liquids deliver nicotine faster and feel smoother at high strengths, which is why many use 10mg or 20mg. If this bottle is freebase at 18mg/ml, it will feel firmer on the throat than a salt liquid of a similar number. People who want a gentle throat hit with a quick nicotine effect may prefer a salt, while those who want a more cigarette-like feel often prefer freebase.

Against shortfills. Shortfills come in 50ml or 100ml bottles with room for nicotine shots, and they are designed for sub-ohm devices that make bigger clouds at lower strength. They cost less per millilitre but require mixing, and they suit a different style of vaping. If you want a pocket-sized, mouth-to-lung experience, a 10ml bottle at 18mg/ml is simpler.

Against pre-filled pods and closed kits. A pre-filled pod is convenient and avoids refilling, but it locks you into the manufacturer's flavours and creates more waste. A bottle gives you freedom at the price of a little more effort.

Against disposables. Single-use vapes were popular because they were cheap and easy, but they are now banned for sale in Great Britain from 1 June 2025, and they generated a lot of electrical waste. Bottled liquid in a refillable kit is the closest legal match for a vaper who liked the flavour variety of disposables.

Where this product is weaker. It comes in a 10ml bottle only, the flavour is limited to orange, the 18mg strength is high for casual use and the cooling element will not suit everyone. If you want something lighter, check other strengths and flavours in the Slush Brew range or elsewhere in the shop.
