Crystal Clear 10ml Nic Salt Pack of 10: what you are buying

The Crystal Clear 10ml Nic Salt Pack of 10 is a multipack of ten separate 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid bottles. Added together that is 100ml of liquid, packaged for people who already vape from a refillable pod kit and are tired of reordering one or two bottles every fortnight. Crystal Clear is a brand with 51 flavours in the same product family, so there is plenty of room to choose what ends up in your pack.

One point is worth clearing up straight away. This is a consumable, not a device. In our catalogue it sits with accessories because it is something you add to a vape kit rather than a vape in its own right. To use it you need a refillable pod system, a compatible refillable pod, or a low-power tank designed for nicotine salts. If you want something you can unbox and puff on immediately, a ready-made kit is the right starting point, and this pack is what you come back to once you own one.

Here is the short version of the pack:

• Format: ten bottles of 10ml each, 100ml in total
• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, formulated for low-power pod devices
• Bottle size: 10ml, which is the largest size allowed for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK
• Strength: choose from the options shown on the product page; UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg/ml
• Range: 51 flavours across the Crystal Clear family
• Age: 18 and over only, with age checks on ordering and delivery

This guide covers what to expect from the pack, how nic salt behaves compared with other liquids, how to match it to your hardware, and what to do when something goes wrong. We have tried to be straightforward about the limits too. We do not publish an exact PG/VG split or full ingredient breakdown on this page, because that information belongs on the label of the bottles you receive. Read that label before you vape, and keep the outer box until you have checked it against the strength you ordered.

If you are new to vaping, nicotine is addictive and these products are meant for adults who currently smoke and want an alternative, not for people who have never used nicotine. If you are weighing up whether to switch, your local NHS stop smoking service can offer free support alongside any vaping you decide to do.

What is in the pack and how UK rules shape it

The ten-bottle format is a direct result of how UK rules treat nicotine e-liquid. Under the regulations that apply in Great Britain, refillable nicotine e-liquid cannot be sold in bottles larger than 10ml, and the nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml. The same 20mg/ml ceiling applies to the liquid inside disposable and pre-filled pod products, and tanks and refillable pods are limited to 2ml. That is why you see multipacks of small bottles rather than one large bottle: a bulk discount has to come from buying more bottles, not a bigger one.

Each bottle you receive should carry the information the law requires. In practice that means:

• The nicotine strength in mg/ml, shown clearly on the label
• A list of ingredients
• The nicotine addiction health warning
• A batch number, so a specific production run can be traced
• A child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal
• Contact details for the responsible company

Check those items when the pack arrives. If a bottle is missing its seal, has a cap that spins freely, or shows no strength on the label, do not use it and contact the shop. A reputable supplier will replace it without argument.

It is also worth knowing where this pack fits in the wider market. Since 1 June 2025, selling single-use disposable vapes has been banned in Great Britain, which has pushed many adult vapers towards refillable pod kits and rechargeable devices. A multipack of nic salt is the natural fuel for that route. A 10ml bottle fills several small pods, so one pack covers a long run of refills without generating a bin full of single-use plastic and cells.

Plan for the end of life of the pack, too. Empty bottles are plastic and should be disposed of according to your local council guidance, since some councils do not accept bottles that held nicotine in kerbside recycling. Devices, pods with built-in electronics, and any battery should never go in general waste or household recycling. Take them to a retailer or council recycling centre that accepts vape equipment and batteries. Many vape shops and larger supermarkets run drop-off points, and retailers selling vapes are expected to offer take-back.

Finally, store the pack sensibly. Keep it upright, cool, out of direct sunlight, and well away from children and pets. Nicotine liquid is toxic if swallowed or if it gets on bare skin in quantity, so treat the bottles the way you would treat any household chemical.

Flavour profile across the Crystal Clear range

With 51 flavours in the family, the Crystal Clear range covers the usual territory for UK nic salts. We do not describe every individual flavour here, because tasting notes belong with each variant listing, but the range falls into the familiar groups: fruit, fruit with ice, menthol and mint, sweets and candy, drinks, desserts and a small number of tobacco-style profiles. If you are unsure where to start, the flavour name on the variant page is a useful guide to what the liquid is aiming for.

A few general points about how nic salt flavours behave in pod devices will help you choose well:

• Fruit flavours tend to taste bright and clear in low-power pods, because the cooler vapour lets individual notes come through rather than blending into a general sweetness.
• Ice and menthol flavours add a cooling sensation on the inhale. At 20mg/ml the combination of nicotine throat hit and cooling agent can feel sharp, so many people pair ice flavours with a lower strength.
• Sweets and desserts usually contain more sweetener. That makes them pleasant, but sugary liquids leave more residue on coils, so expect to change coils a little more often.
• Drinks flavours such as cola or energy styles sit between fruit and sweets and tend to be popular for all-day use.
• Tobacco styles are a common first choice for ex-smokers who do not want a sweet taste, though they vary a great deal from brand to brand.

Be realistic about flavour fatigue. After a few days on the same liquid, many vapers find the taste fades, an effect often called vaper's tongue. It is harmless, but it can make a perfectly good liquid seem flat and push you towards a higher strength or more puffs than you need. A pack of ten of the same flavour means you will be living with that choice for a long time, so it makes sense to be sure before you commit.

A sensible approach is to order a single bottle of the flavour you are considering first. If you finish it and still enjoy it, a pack of ten is a safe buy. If you like variety, check whether the product page lets you choose a mix of flavours across the ten bottles. Where it offers a single flavour selector, assume all ten bottles are the same. Rotating between two flavours, for example a fruit during the day and a mint in the evening, also helps keep your palate fresh and lets coils rest from the heavier sweeteners.

Nic salt basics and choosing a nicotine strength

Nicotine salt liquid uses a form of nicotine bonded with an acid, commonly benzoic acid, rather than the freebase nicotine used in traditional e-liquid. The practical effect is a smoother throat hit at higher strengths. Freebase nicotine at 18 to 20mg/ml would be harsh in most devices; the salt form lets people use 10 to 20mg/ml without the same bite. Salts also tend to deliver nicotine to the bloodstream more quickly, which is why they suit people stepping down from cigarettes and wanting a satisfying hit from small, discreet devices.

The trade-off is that nic salts are designed for low power. They work well in pods and small tanks running roughly 8 to 20 watts. They are a poor match for high-power sub-ohm setups, where the extra vapour volume at a high strength would deliver far more nicotine than is comfortable.

Strength guidance, based on common experience rather than a rule:

• 20mg/ml (2%): usually the starting point for people smoking around ten or more cigarettes a day, or anyone who has struggled to switch on lower strengths. It is the UK legal maximum.
• 10 to 12mg/ml (1% to 1.2%): suits lighter smokers, people who already vape and want to cut down, or those who find 20mg too harsh.
• Lower than 10mg/ml: aimed at people who are tapering off nicotine, or who use a device with big, airy draws.

Do not pick the strength by guesswork alone. The quantity of nicotine you take in depends on strength, device power, puff length and how often you vape. A small pod at 20mg/ml with short, frequent puffs can deliver as much as a long session on a lower strength. Watch how you feel. Signs that your strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, headaches, a racing heart, or a sweaty, jittery feeling. If you notice them, stop, take some water, and move down a strength.

The arithmetic is simple and worth knowing. A 10ml bottle at 20mg/ml contains 200mg of nicotine, so the pack of ten holds 2,000mg. At 10mg/ml, each bottle holds 100mg and the pack holds 1,000mg. That is a lot of nicotine in one parcel, which is another reason to store it securely.

Remember that nicotine is addictive. The aim for most adult users is to replace cigarettes and then, if they wish, gradually step down in strength. Pregnant women, people with heart conditions, and anyone taking medication that may interact with nicotine should take advice from a doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Performance and how far 100ml goes

Because this is liquid rather than a device, performance depends on the hardware you put it in. What the pack can tell you is how much vaping it represents, and that is where the format earns its keep.

A typical refillable pod holds about 2ml. Depending on the coil, the wattage and how you draw, a 2ml fill usually delivers somewhere in the region of 400 to 600 puffs. That is an estimate, not a measurement, and your own figure could land outside it. On that basis:

• One 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod roughly five times, which is somewhere around 2,000 to 3,000 puffs.
• The full pack of ten bottles, at 100ml, represents roughly 20,000 to 30,000 puffs.
• For a daily vaper who uses about 3 to 5ml a day, the pack lasts around three to five weeks. A lighter user on 1 to 2ml a day could make it last well over a month, subject to the shelf-life point below.

Think of that against the product it replaces. A single-use disposable held roughly 2ml of liquid, so 100ml is about the same amount of liquid as fifty of them. Even allowing for generous variation in puff counts, that is a substantial amount of vaping from one order.

What you actually feel when you vape it depends on the nic salt itself. In a good pod match, expect a throat hit that is smoother than freebase at the same strength, a moderate vapour cloud, and flavour that is noticeable without being overpowering. Nic salts are not designed to produce big clouds, and they will not do so. If you are used to a sub-ohm kit, the vapour volume from a pod device will feel modest by comparison, but the nicotine satisfaction per puff is typically higher.

Consistency matters in a ten-bottle pack. Liquid from the same batch should taste and feel the same across bottles, but bottle-to-bottle variation can occur between batches. If one bottle seems different from the rest, check the batch numbers on the labels. Differences in nicotine strength between bottles should not exist at all; if you suspect one, contact the shop and stop using it.

Finally, think about freshness. Most e-liquid carries a shelf-life date of 12 to 24 months from manufacture, and flavour can dull as it ages, particularly if bottles are warm or in sunlight. A pack of ten is practical for most daily vapers, but if you use very little, you might be better off with a smaller pack.

Coils and mesh: matching the liquid to your device

The coil is where liquid becomes vapour, so the pairing between nic salt and coil type has a bigger effect on your experience than most buyers expect. This pack is designed to work in the kind of device that uses a small resistance coil and runs at low power.

Common coil types you will meet in pod kits:

• Mesh coils spread heat over a wide surface, which gives even vaporisation and good flavour. Typical resistances for salt-friendly mesh coils are around 0.6 to 1.2 ohm, running at roughly 10 to 20 watts.
• Ceramic coils are often found in smaller closed pod systems. They tend to give a clean, consistent flavour and cope well with sweet liquids, though they can take longer to prime.
• Cotton-wick coils in the 0.8 to 1.2 ohm range are common in budget pods and generally work well with salts, but they can burn more easily if you chain-vape or let the pod run low.

Match the liquid to the device with these checks:

• Look for the words nic salt or salt-friendly on the device or its packaging. If the maker recommends salts, you are in the right territory.
• Check maximum power. If the device is designed to run at 30 watts and above, with large airflow and sub-ohm coils, it is built for low-nicotine freebase and will not suit a 20mg/ml salt.
• Check pod capacity. Most UK-legal pods hold 2ml, which is the cap for refillable tanks.
• Check the fill port. The slim nozzle on a 10ml bottle fits most small ports, but a few very narrow ones need a steady hand.

Liquid thickness plays a part. Nic salts commonly use a roughly even split of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, which flows readily through small wicking holes. A very thick, high-VG liquid can wick slowly in a pod coil and lead to dry hits. Check the label of your bottles for the actual ratio and compare it against what your device manufacturer recommends.

Expect coil life of around one to three weeks for a daily user, shorter with sweet or dessert flavours and with heavy chain-vaping. A coil that tastes burnt, muted or gurgly is usually at the end of its life rather than a fault with the liquid. Replacing the coil, not the liquid, is the first move whenever the flavour goes off. Keep a spare coil or two alongside your pack so you are never stuck with ten bottles and nothing to vape them in.

Battery and charging: what your device needs from a nic salt

The liquid has no battery, but the battery in your device determines how well a nic salt performs and how often you will need to charge. Pod kits for salts usually carry batteries between about 400mAh and 1,000mAh, charged over USB-C, and they are tuned for low power draw, which suits this style of liquid.

A rough back-of-envelope calculation helps set expectations. A 650mAh cell at 3.7 volts stores about 2.4 watt-hours. A device firing at 12 watts would drain that in around twelve minutes of continuous firing. If your average puff lasts about three seconds, that works out to roughly 240 puffs in theory, and a more realistic figure after efficiency losses is somewhere nearer 180 to 220. Since a 2ml pod gives around 400 to 600 puffs, you should expect to charge two to three times per pod, or about once a day for a typical user. Larger batteries and lower wattages stretch that out; small batteries pushed hard shorten it.

Good charging habits keep a device safe and extend battery life:

• Use the cable that came with the device, or a reputable USB-C cable, and a standard 5V wall adapter or computer port.
• Do not leave a device charging overnight or unattended.
• Do not charge on soft furnishings such as beds and sofas, where heat can build up.
• Stop using any device that has swelled, become hot, or shows damage, and take it to a drop-off point for recycling.
• Do not carry a device in a pocket with keys or coins, which can short the contacts.

It is common for a battery to seem weak when what you really have is a flooded or gunked coil that is drawing poorly. Before you decide a battery is dying, try fitting a fresh coil and priming it properly. Likewise, a device that blinks or refuses to fire is sometimes protecting itself from a short-circuit caused by liquid on the contacts. Wipe the contacts dry with a clean cloth and try again.

When a battery reaches the end of its life, which is usually after a few hundred full charge cycles, treat it as waste electrical equipment, not rubbish. UK law expects retailers who sell vapes to offer take-back, and many councils run electrical recycling at household waste sites. Lithium cells in the general bin are a known cause of lorry and recycling-plant fires, so please never do it.

Design and build quality: bottles, caps and labelling

With e-liquid, build quality comes down to the bottle, the cap and the label rather than any electronics. The ten bottles in this pack should follow the standard layout for UK nicotine liquid, and it is worth knowing what a well-made bottle looks like so you can spot a problem quickly.

Look for these features when your pack arrives:

• A soft, squeezable plastic body. This lets you control the flow into a small pod. Bottles that are rigid or overly thin-walled make it harder to dispense a small amount without a splash.
• A long, narrow nozzle. The thin tip is what lets you reach small fill ports. It should be firmly seated and not pop off when you squeeze.
• A child-resistant cap. Typically you press down and turn. If the cap turns freely or lifts off without pressure, it is not doing its job.
• A tamper-evident ring or seal that breaks the first time the bottle is opened.
• A clear, readable label showing the flavour name, nicotine strength, ingredients, warnings and batch number.

On the outside, expect the ten bottles to arrive in a single outer box or sleeve. The outer packaging protects against knocks in the post, but it is the bottles that matter, so give each one a quick check for cracks, loose nozzles or stickiness around the cap, which can be a sign of a slow leak in transit.

Because the bottles are small, labels are small, and the font can be hard to read in poor light. If you are buying several strengths over time, it is easy to mix them up. A simple habit is to mark the cap or label of each bottle with the strength using a permanent marker, particularly if you keep more than one strength in the house. It also helps to keep opened bottles in the original box rather than loose in a drawer.

We cannot claim to have checked every detail of every pack ahead of time, which is why this section is written as a checklist, not a promise. A properly sealed, correctly labelled bottle with a stiff child-resistant cap is the standard you should expect. If anything falls short, return or replace it.

How to use: filling and first puffs

Filling a pod from a 10ml bottle is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. Take it slowly the first time and you will avoid most of the mess.

Follow this routine for a clean fill:

• Switch the device off or remove the pod before you open anything, so it cannot fire by accident.
• Open the fill port. Most pods have a silicone bung or a sliding cover. Check your device manual if you are not sure how it opens.
• Press down on the cap and twist to open the bottle, then fit or reveal the nozzle.
• Tilt the pod and fill along the side wall so that air can escape and bubbles do not form. Squeeze gently and aim away from the central airflow tube; liquid in that tube will flood the coil and leak into your mouth.
• Stop just below the maximum fill line. Leave a small air gap at the top, because liquid expands slightly with warmth and an overfilled pod will leak.
• Close the port, wipe any spill, and reseal the bottle with the cap pressed down fully.

Then prime the coil. A dry coil lit for the first time will burn, and a burnt coil cannot be recovered. Leave the filled pod standing upright for five to ten minutes so liquid can soak into the wicking material. Take a few gentle, short puffs without pressing the button first, to draw liquid in, and then start vaping normally at the lower end of the power range. A new coil that tastes slightly off for the first few puffs is normal. It should settle quickly.

Good habits as you go:

• Do not let the pod run nearly empty before you top up. The coil needs liquid to avoid dry hits.
• Take puffs of two to four seconds with a pause between them, rather than chain-vaping, to give the wick time to refill.
• If you change flavour, it is better to use a fresh pod or coil than to pour a new flavour over an old one, which muddies both.
• Keep the bottle upright and sealed between fills. Make sure the cap is fully pressed down, as a half-closed child-resistant cap can leak.

For people who are new to salts, start with short, gentle draws. The nicotine arrives quickly, and it is better to take two or three puffs and wait a few minutes than to overdo it in the first sitting.

Troubleshooting common problems with nic salt in pods

Most issues that seem to point at the liquid turn out to be to do with the coil, the fill or the device. Work through these in order before you decide a bottle is faulty.

• Leaking from the pod or device. Usually overfilling, liquid in the central tube, or a poorly seated pod. Empty a little liquid, wipe the base, seat the pod firmly, and avoid squeezing the pod when you hold it. Changes in temperature or altitude can also push liquid out, so avoid leaving a full pod on a hot dashboard.
• Burnt or acrid taste. Almost always a dry or worn coil. Replace the coil, prime properly, and avoid chain-vaping. Do not keep pushing through a burnt taste; it will not clear itself.
• Weak or muted flavour. This can be coil gunk, vaper's tongue, or a flavour that was never strong to begin with. Try a fresh coil, take a break from vaping for a day, or rotate to a different flavour.
• Harsh throat hit. Your strength may be too high for your device or your style. Move down one level, reduce the power if the device allows, or take smaller puffs.
• Gurgling or spitting. Liquid has flooded the coil or the airflow channel. Blow gently through the mouthpiece with the device off, or wipe the pod and let it stand upright for a few minutes.
• Dry hits, even though the pod looks full. The wick is not being fed fast enough. Check that the liquid is not too thick for the coil, give a longer prime, and reduce power slightly.
• No vapour at all. Check the battery charge, the contact surfaces for moisture, that the pod is seated, and that the airflow is not blocked. If a new pod still fails, consider the device rather than the liquid.
• Dark or sticky coil. Sweet liquids leave residue. This is a sign it is time to swap the coil.
• Nicotine sickness, meaning dizziness, nausea, sweating or headaches. Stop, sit down and drink water. Reduce strength next time.

What to do in an accident: if liquid gets on your skin, wash with soap and water straight away. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water for at least fifteen minutes and seek medical advice. If any is swallowed, especially by a child or a pet, call 999 or NHS 111 immediately and keep the bottle label to hand.

If a whole bottle behaves very differently from the others in the pack, with an off smell, odd colour, or noticeable change in strength, stop using it, note the batch number and contact us. We would rather replace a bottle than have you continue with one you do not trust.

Who this pack is for, and who should skip it

A pack of ten bottles makes sense for a specific kind of buyer. Being honest about that saves money and frustration.

It is a good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker who has already switched to a refillable pod kit and know which flavour and strength you like.
• Vape every day and are tired of paying delivery and handling on repeated small orders.
• Run more than one device, for example a pod at home and a pocket kit when out, and would like a common liquid for both.
• Want a steady, predictable supply from one batch, with the same taste week after week.
• Moved away from single-use disposables following the ban and want a more economical route using rechargeable hardware.

It is probably not for you if you:

• Are under 18. Sales of vapes and e-liquid to under-18s are illegal in the UK, and we check age on order and on delivery.
• Have never smoked or used nicotine. Vaping is intended as an alternative for smokers, not a starting point for non-smokers.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition, without first talking to a healthcare professional.
• Are brand new to vaping and have not yet chosen a device. Start with a single bottle in a flavour you are confident about.
• Own a high-power sub-ohm device. The 20mg/ml strengths are not suitable for that type of kit, and lower-strength freebase liquid is a better match.
• Like to change flavours often. Ten bottles of the same liquid is a commitment, and variety will cost you less if you buy singles.
• Vape only occasionally. The pack may be more than you can use before its shelf-life date.

There is also a middle group. If you are a heavier smoker moving off cigarettes, 20mg/ml in a salt-friendly pod is a common route, and the larger pack saves repeated ordering during the sensitive early weeks when running out is the biggest risk of going back to smoking. If you are a lighter user, buy one or two bottles of a lower strength first, and only scale up to the full ten-pack when you are sure.

Whichever group you are in, keep the pack out of reach of children and pets, and consider where you will store it. A shelf or lockable drawer in a cool room is much better than a bag or a car glove box.

Value for money and how it compares

Working out whether a pack is good value is mostly arithmetic, and you can do it yourself in a minute. Take the price of the pack and divide it by 100 to get the cost per millilitre. Do the same for any alternative: the price of a 2ml pre-filled pod or a disposable-style product divided by 2. Because the pack gives you 100ml, a small saving per millilitre adds up quickly across a month of daily use.

Here is how the main alternatives stack up in general terms:

• Pre-filled pods and closed-system refills. Convenient and neat, but you pay for the convenience. Per millilitre they are normally the most expensive way to vape, and you are tied to one maker's hardware.
• Single 10ml bottles of nic salt. The same type of product as this pack, bought one at a time. Handy for trying a flavour, but delivery costs and the lack of a multi-buy discount make them dearer in the long run if you know what you like.
• Three-bottle and five-bottle bundles from other brands. Several well-known UK nic salt lines sell small multi-buys. These suit people who want variety. The pack of ten is for those who want volume and consistency.
• Large-volume freebase liquid. Cheaper per millilitre, but sold in 50ml and 100ml bottles at low nicotine strengths, intended for sub-ohm kits. It is a different product for a different style of vaping, and not a substitute for salts.

In fairness to the competition, big-name salt brands often have stronger recognition, heavier marketing and a wider choice of limited-edition flavours. Some have flavour profiles that are more complex or more carefully tuned than a value-oriented range, and if you value a particular taste above price, you may be happier paying more for it. Crystal Clear competes on breadth, with 51 flavours, and on the practicality of the pack-of-ten format, not on a claim that it out-tastes every other brand. Your own palate is the judge.

There are hidden costs and savings to include. Coils are the main running cost on a refillable system, so factor in a pack of replacement coils every month or two. You also save on delivery, since you order less often, and on waste, since you throw away nothing but empty bottles.

One caution on stockpiling: the saving only matters if you actually use the liquid while it is fresh. If you vape slowly, a pack that lasts five months could pass its prime. In that case, a smaller multi-buy is the better value. Always check the current price, strength options and flavour selector on the product page before you order.
