Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun overview

Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun is a single 10ml bottle of nicotine e-liquid from the Vlad's VG range, sold at 3mg strength in the Blue Gun flavour. It is not a ready-to-use device. It is a refill: you pour it into a tank or a refillable pod on a rechargeable kit that you already own, which makes it a product for adult vapers who are comfortable filling and looking after their own hardware. This page explains what the bottle is, what the numbers on it mean, which kinds of device it suits and how to get steady results from it, in plain terms and without hype.

In our catalogue the product sits alongside the rest of the Vlad's VG 10ml line, which includes Attraction Fatal, Black Ice Breaking Point, Heisenberg No Ice, Loser, Pinkman Revamped and Raspberry Blast. All of them are sold as 10ml bottles at 3mg, so the strength and the format stay the same and the flavour is the one thing that changes from bottle to bottle. If you are new to the range, Blue Gun is a sensible starting point for anyone who leans towards the blue-flavour family of sweet fruit liquids, and the flavour section below explains where that description is firm and where it is only a guide.

The essentials at a glance:

  • Product: Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun
  • Brand: Vlad's VG
  • Type: e-liquid in a 10ml bottle, for refilling a tank or refillable pod
  • Nicotine strength: 3mg per ml, which is 0.3% by volume
  • Total nicotine in the bottle: about 30mg across the full 10ml
  • Flavour: Blue Gun
  • Who can buy it: adults aged 18+ only

A quick note on how this page is written. Where something is printed in the product name (size, strength, flavour) we state it as fact. Where something is a general feature of UK e-liquid or vape hardware, we say that it is general. We do not publish a VG/PG ratio, an ingredient breakdown or a list of tasting notes for this bottle, because those belong to the manufacturer's label, and the label on the bottle in your hand is always the authority. Where we give consumption figures or device settings, they are typical ranges to help you plan, not promises.

Specifications and what the numbers mean

Three details carry most of the meaning on this product: the 10ml size, the 3mg strength and the letters VG in the brand name. It helps to understand each before you buy, because they decide which devices the liquid suits and how long a bottle will last you.

  • 10ml capacity. Ten millilitres is the largest bottle size that UK rules (the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016) allow for nicotine-containing e-liquid. That is why almost every ready-mixed nicotine bottle in the country is 10ml. Bigger bottles exist, but they are sold as nicotine-free shortfills with room left for nicotine shots, which is a different kind of product.
  • 3mg per ml. Three milligrams of nicotine per millilitre is 0.3% by volume. It sits at the gentle end of the freebase range and is a fraction of the 20mg per ml ceiling that UK law sets for e-liquid. That same 20mg cap applied to disposable vapes before single-use devices were banned from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025, which is a large part of why refillable kits and bottles like this one are now the mainstream route.
  • Total nicotine in the bottle. Multiply 3mg per ml by 10ml and you get roughly 30mg in the whole bottle. It is a useful number to keep in mind when you compare this against a 20mg nic salt bottle, which holds around 200mg in the same 10ml.
  • VG in the name. VG stands for vegetable glycerine, the thicker, smoother base that produces dense vapour. The brand name tells you the range is built around a VG-led recipe, which is typical of liquids meant for larger-airflow tanks. The exact VG to PG split is on the label, so check it against what your device manufacturer recommends before filling.
  • Tank fills. UK rules cap tank and pod capacity at 2ml. A 10ml bottle therefore covers up to five full 2ml fills in theory. In practice a little is lost to priming, spills and the odd flush, so plan on four to five fills per bottle.

On the packaging side, UK law requires nicotine e-liquid bottles to carry a child-resistant closure, a tamper-evident seal, a health warning, an ingredient list, the nicotine strength and a batch code. A genuine bottle should show all of these. If anything is missing or the tamper ring is already broken when your parcel arrives, do not use the bottle and contact us with your order number.

Finally, this is a nicotine product. It is for adults who smoke or already vape, it is not for sale to anyone under 18, and it is not intended for non-smokers. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, because even a small amount of liquid swallowed or spilled on skin is a real hazard.

Flavour profile: what to expect from Blue Gun

Blue Gun is the flavour name, and in the UK e-liquid market a blue name usually points towards the blue-fruit family: sweet, rounded fruit in the blue raspberry and blueberry direction, often with a slightly sharp edge that stops the sweetness going flat. We cannot honestly print a note-by-note breakdown for a flavour whose recipe the brand keeps to itself, so please read the rest of this section as a guide to how a sweet blue-style liquid behaves and what to look for, rather than a transcript of the label.

  • Sweet-led rather than sharp. Liquids in this family tend to put sweetness first and acidity second. If you enjoy blue raspberry sweets or blueberry-flavoured drinks, that is a better guide to your likely reaction than any adjective we can offer. If you prefer tobacco, coffee or dessert flavours, this is probably not your bottle.
  • No ice in the name. Two of the siblings in the range carry the word ice in their names, one to promise it and one to rule it out. Blue Gun does neither, so do not buy it expecting a heavy menthol chill. A little freshness would not be surprising in a fruit liquid, but a strong cooling blast is not what the name suggests.
  • Flavour moves with heat. Sweet fruit liquids usually open up at moderate power and turn sugary or slightly scorched when pushed too hard. Run too cool and the flavour can feel muted. Finding the middle of your coil's rated wattage range is the single biggest thing you can do to get a full, even flavour from this liquid.
  • Dense vapour softens edges. A VG-led liquid carries flavour in a smooth, rounded way. You tend to notice body and sweetness more than sparkle or crispness. That suits a fruit flavour well, but it also means subtle notes can blur together.
  • Palate fatigue is real. A single sweet flavour all day can dull your sense of taste, sometimes called vape tongue. If Blue Gun starts to taste flat after a week, a break, a drink of water or a second bottle in a different flavour often fixes it.

When you first try it, give it two tank fills before you decide. A fresh coil tastes different from one that has been primed and used for a day, and the first few puffs of any new coil can taste of cotton or nothing at all. If you can, leave the sealed bottle to sit for a day before opening so it comes to room temperature, then shake it gently before each fill.

If Blue Gun turns out to be sweeter than you like, the Raspberry Blast and Black Ice Breaking Point bottles in the same range are natural next steps, and Heisenberg No Ice is there for anyone who wants to avoid cooling altogether.

Performance and vapour delivery

Because this is a bottle and not a device, it does not have a puff count the way a disposable does. How far a bottle goes depends on the hardware, the power setting and how often you vape. What we can do is describe the sort of delivery you should expect and give a realistic way to plan your usage.

  • Vapour volume. VG-led liquids produce denser vapour than PG-led ones. On a sub-ohm tank with open airflow you will see thick, visible clouds. On a tighter pod device with restricted airflow the vapour is smaller, but still smooth.
  • Throat hit. At 3mg per ml, throat hit is light. Anyone coming from a 12mg or 18mg bottle, or from a 20mg nic salt, will notice the difference immediately. The experience is about vapour and flavour, not a sharp catch at the back of the throat.
  • Nicotine delivery. A low strength does not automatically mean a low intake. On a high-power sub-ohm setup each draw is much larger than on a small pod device, so you take in more liquid per puff. That is why low strengths are the norm for sub-ohm vaping and why they should not be compared directly with a 20mg salt.
  • Consistency. A well-matched liquid and coil should taste the same from the first draw of a fill to the last. If flavour fades quickly, the coil is usually due for replacement rather than the liquid being at fault.

For planning, use some simple maths. A moderate user on a sub-ohm tank might get through somewhere around two to four millilitres a day. At three millilitres a day, a 10ml bottle lasts a little over three days. A lighter user on a low-power refillable pod kit may use under a millilitre a day, in which case the same bottle could last a week and a half. Heavy daily users on high wattage can go through 10ml in two days or less. These are illustrative figures, not guarantees, but they are enough to tell you whether to order one bottle or several.

Temperature affects performance more than people expect. Thick liquids wick more slowly in cold conditions, so a bottle left in a cold car or a freezing porch can cause dry hits for the first few draws. Keep the bottle at room temperature, and if you have been out in the cold, let the tank warm for a few minutes before vaping at full power.

Finally, coil life is part of performance. Sweet liquids tend to leave more residue on the coil than unsweetened or tobacco styles. Expect a coil to last somewhere between one and three weeks with regular use, and replace it when flavour thins, the vapour tastes harsh or you start to hear crackling.

Coil and mesh tech: pairing the liquid with the right tank

The liquid is only half of the setup. The coil decides how well a VG-led, low-nicotine liquid turns into vapour, and pairing the wrong coil with it is the most common reason people say a perfectly good bottle tastes bad. Here is how the main coil types behave with a bottle like Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun.

  • Sub-ohm mesh coils (roughly 0.15 to 0.4 ohm). Mesh coils use a flat woven sheet of resistance wire, which gives a large surface area and fast, even heating. They suit thick, VG-led liquids well because the wicking channels are generous. Typical power ranges are around 25 to 60 watts, and the safe window is printed on the side of every coil. Start at the lower end and move up gradually.
  • Sub-ohm round wire coils (roughly 0.2 to 0.6 ohm). Traditional wound coils can give slightly more concentrated flavour and are common in older tanks. Their power range is often narrower than mesh, so check the rating.
  • Higher-resistance coils (roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohm). These are used on refillable pod systems and small tanks, usually at 10 to 25 watts for a tighter, mouth-to-lung draw. A thick high-VG liquid can struggle to wick through very small cotton holes, so check your device manual for the maximum recommended VG level before filling.
  • Ceramic and pod-style coils. Some compact refillable pods use ceramic or very fine mesh wicks designed for thinner, higher-PG liquids and nic salts. They can clog or dry-hit on thick liquids. If your device was built for nic salts, a 3mg VG-led bottle is probably the wrong match.

The 2ml tank limit applies across all of these. UK rules cap tank and pod capacity at 2ml, so even if your tank looks large, the usable liquid volume is small, and you will refill often. That is not a flaw; it is simply how UK-legal hardware works.

Whichever coil you choose, prime it properly. Fill the tank, wait at least five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks through, and put a couple of drops directly onto the exposed cotton if the coil design allows. Skipping this step and firing at full power is the fastest way to burn a new coil in the first minute and ruin the flavour of the whole tank.

Finally, check the airflow. A VG-led liquid at 3mg generally works well with a more open draw, because the vapour is thick and the strength is low. If you find the draw tight and restricted, the liquid and the device are probably mismatched for this style.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 3mg right for you?

Three milligrams per millilitre is a low strength, and whether it is the right choice depends almost entirely on your hardware and your habits. This section is general guidance for adult smokers and vapers, not medical advice, and it does not suggest that vaping is risk-free.

  • 3mg suits sub-ohm and direct-lung vaping. When each draw is large, a low strength delivers a comfortable amount of nicotine while keeping the throat hit gentle. This is the setting where 3mg tends to make the most sense.
  • 3mg is usually too mild for tight mouth-to-lung pods. On a small, low-power device with a restricted draw, each puff contains very little liquid. Most people using that kind of kit choose a much higher strength, often a 10mg or 20mg nic salt. If that is your setup, look at a nic salt bottle instead of this one.
  • Step down at your own pace. If you currently vape at 6mg or 12mg and want something lighter, 3mg is a sensible next rung. Change one thing at a time. Do not reduce your strength, switch your coil and change your flavour all in the same week, or you will not know which change made the difference.
  • Do not size up in a hurry. If 3mg feels weak, resist the urge to compensate by chain vaping at high power. That simply uses liquid faster and can make the vapour harsh. A better first step is to try a different bottle strength designed for your type of device.

Nicotine salts and freebase nicotine are two different formats. Nic salts are normally sold at 10mg to 20mg per ml and are designed for pod systems, whereas strengths such as 3mg, 6mg and 12mg are in the freebase range, which is what higher-VG bottles for larger tanks usually use. UK law caps both at 20mg per ml and applies the same ceiling to any refill container or pod that contains nicotine.

Everyone reacts differently. Some people feel lightheaded, nauseous or jittery if they take in more nicotine than their body is used to. If that happens, stop, drink some water, get some fresh air and reduce your strength or your usage next time. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to your pharmacist or GP about nicotine before using any vape product.

Finally, a plain statement for clarity. Nicotine is addictive. If you do not currently smoke or vape, this product is not for you. It is made for adults who already use nicotine and want a refillable alternative.

Bottle design and build quality

There is not much to a 10ml e-liquid bottle, but the small design choices do matter day to day, particularly when you are filling a small tank in a hurry. Here is what to look for on Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun and on any UK e-liquid bottle of this type.

  • Plastic body. Standard 10ml bottles are moulded from soft, squeezable plastic. The softness lets you control the flow by pressing gently, and the material resists cracking if you drop it. It also means a bottle can absorb heat and deform if left in a hot car, so keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.
  • Narrow nozzle. The fine tip is designed to fit into the small fill ports on modern tanks and pods. Squeeze slowly, because a thick VG-led liquid takes a moment to start moving and then releases quickly.
  • Child-resistant cap. The closure is built so that a young child cannot open it easily, usually by pressing down while turning. It can be fiddly at first, but it is a legal requirement and a genuine safeguard. Never remove it permanently or decant the liquid into an unmarked container.
  • Tamper-evident ring. The ring around the neck should be unbroken when the bottle arrives. If it has already been split, treat the bottle as compromised and contact us.
  • Label. A compliant label shows the brand, flavour, strength, volume, ingredients, a health warning, a batch code and a best-before date. The batch code is useful if you ever need to report a problem.

On build quality, the things to check on arrival are simple. Look for a sealed cap, a clean label with no smudged print, and no sticky residue on the outside of the bottle, which would suggest a leak in transit. A little residue on the nozzle from the factory fill is normal; liquid pooling in the packaging is not.

Storage matters more than most people think. Keep bottles upright, with the cap fully closed, away from direct light and heat, and well out of reach of children and pets. A cool cupboard is ideal. Light and heat degrade the flavour over time, and nicotine can darken in colour with age, which is normal and does not necessarily mean the liquid has spoiled. If the colour change is accompanied by a harsh, burnt or off smell, discard the bottle responsibly.

Orders are checked and packed for UK delivery, with free delivery over £20 and dispatch the same day when you order before 4pm, and every product we sell is 100% genuine. When the parcel arrives, give the bottle a quick check before you put it in the cupboard.

Battery and charging: what your device needs

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery of its own, so there is nothing to charge on Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun itself. The battery that matters is the one in the device you pour it into. Because a lot of readers land on this page while choosing hardware, here is a plain guide to what a sensible setup looks like for a VG-led, low-strength liquid.

  • Built-in battery kits. Many modern refillable kits have an internal battery rated somewhere between about 1,000mAh and 3,000mAh and a USB-C port. A higher milliamp-hour figure means longer between charges at the same power, but battery life also falls as you raise the wattage, so a 3,000mAh kit running at 50 watts will not last as long as the same kit at 20 watts.
  • Removable-cell mods. Larger devices take one or two replaceable cells, most commonly the 18650 or 21700 size. These need a proper external charger, and the cells should always be matched to the device and stored in a case rather than loose in a pocket or bag.
  • Charging habits. Use the cable that came with the device or a reputable replacement. Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, not on a bed or sofa. Do not leave a device charging unattended for long periods or overnight, and stop using any battery that is swollen, hot, damaged or wet.
  • Matching power to liquid. A thick, VG-led liquid at 3mg generally likes a medium wattage on a sub-ohm coil. Rather than running at the maximum, set the device inside the coil's printed range, which also preserves battery life.

On the legal side, the UK nicotine cap of 20mg per ml applies to every nicotine e-liquid and every pod. Single-use disposable vapes, which were the product most affected by that cap, have been banned from sale in the UK since 1 June 2025. That shift is the main reason refillable kits and bottles have become the default for adult vapers who want a rechargeable setup.

When a device or battery reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the household bin or the recycling bin. Vapes contain lithium batteries that can start fires in collection vehicles and waste sites. Instead, take them to a recycling point. Shops that sell vaping products are required to accept used devices, many supermarkets and electrical retailers have small-electricals bins, and your local council recycling centre will take them too. The Recycle Your Electricals website has a postcode search that lists nearby drop-off points. Empty plastic e-liquid bottles can usually be recycled according to your local council's guidance, though it is worth checking whether yours accepts small plastic bottles with nozzles.

Who Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun is for, and who should skip it

No single bottle suits everyone, and being clear about that saves you money. Here is an honest sorting of who is likely to be happy with this product and who is likely to be disappointed.

This bottle is likely to suit you if:

  • You are an adult who already smokes or vapes and uses a rechargeable kit with a sub-ohm tank or an open-airflow pod.
  • You prefer a low nicotine strength and a smooth, light throat hit.
  • You enjoy sweet, blue-fruit style flavours and are happy for the vapour to be dense and rounded.
  • You like trying a flavour in a small 10ml bottle before committing to a larger bulk purchase.
  • You already own a device and want an inexpensive way to top it up.

You should probably look elsewhere if:

  • You are under 18, which means you cannot buy or use this product.
  • You do not smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive and this is not for casual experimentation.
  • You use a small, restricted-draw pod device built for nic salts. A thick VG-led liquid at 3mg is likely to wick poorly and deliver too little nicotine for that style of kit.
  • You want a strong throat hit or a high nicotine strength. A nic salt or a higher freebase strength is a better fit.
  • You prefer tobacco, coffee, dessert or heavy menthol flavours and find sweet fruit liquids cloying.
  • You want a pre-filled, no-maintenance product. This is a refill, so you will need to fill, prime and clean your own hardware.

It is also worth being honest about the learning curve. If you have only ever used a prefilled pod or a disposable, a bottle and a tank introduce new steps: filling without flooding, priming a coil, choosing a wattage and replacing coils. None of them is difficult, but the first week is more hands-on than a push-and-go device. The how-to section below walks through the basics.

Finally, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, speak to a healthcare professional before using nicotine in any form. This page is retail information, not health advice, and nothing here suggests vaping is safe for non-smokers.

How to use: filling, priming and your first vapes

Filling a tank from a 10ml bottle is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. Follow the sequence below and you will avoid the usual early mistakes: flooding, leaking and burnt coils.

  • Step 1, check the bottle. Confirm the tamper ring is intact, then shake the bottle gently so the liquid is evenly mixed. Wipe any residue off the nozzle.
  • Step 2, open the tank. Switch the device off, then follow your tank's design to expose the fill port. Most tanks either slide, unscrew or flip open at the top. Keep the tank upright.
  • Step 3, fill carefully. Press the nozzle against the side of the fill port and squeeze slowly so the liquid runs down the inside wall. Avoid pouring into the central airflow tube, which will flood the coil and cause gurgling and leaks. Stop at the max fill line, and never exceed the 2ml limit your tank is built for.
  • Step 4, close up and wait. Close the fill port and screw the tank back together. Wait at least five to ten minutes so the cotton in the coil absorbs the liquid. This is the most skipped step and the most important.
  • Step 5, take priming draws. Before you fire the device, take two or three gentle draws without pressing the button. This pulls liquid through the wick.
  • Step 6, start low. Set a wattage at the lower end of the coil's printed range, take a few short draws, and increase in small steps until the flavour is full but not hot.
  • Step 7, close the bottle. Replace the cap fully, wipe any drips and put the bottle back somewhere cool, upright and out of reach of children.

A few habits make daily use easier. Top up the tank when it is about a third full rather than letting it run dry, because vaping on an almost empty tank is a common cause of dry hits. Keep the device upright when you are not using it, and wipe the mouthpiece from time to time. If you are on a sub-ohm tank, open the airflow wide for a lighter, cooler draw, or close it a little for a warmer, more concentrated one.

Draw style matters too. Direct-lung, where you inhale straight into the lungs, is the method that most sub-ohm setups are designed around. Mouth-to-lung, where you hold the vapour in your mouth first, suits tighter devices and higher strengths. Using a low strength like 3mg with a tight mouth-to-lung draw is unlikely to give a satisfying result.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a refillable setup come down to a handful of causes, and they are almost always fixable. If something is not right with your tank while using Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun, work through these in order.

  • Dry or burnt hit. Usually the coil is not fully saturated, the tank is nearly empty, or the power is too high. Refill, wait ten minutes, take a few priming draws and lower the wattage. If the burnt taste stays after a fresh fill, the coil is probably spent and should be replaced.
  • Weak or flat flavour. Check the coil first, as it is the most common cause. Also check that you are not vaping too hot or too cool, and consider whether palate fatigue has set in. A day or two away from that flavour, or a rinse of the tank, often restores it.
  • Gurgling or spitting. The coil is flooded. Close the airflow, tilt the tank so it drains, and clear the chimney by blowing gently through the drip tip with the tank off. Next time, fill down the side of the fill port and do not overfill.
  • Leaking from the tank. Check the seals and the O-rings, make sure the tank is screwed together firmly but not over-tightened, and make sure the fill port is fully closed. Leaks are more likely with thin liquids, so a VG-led bottle should leak less often than most. If it still leaks, the tank itself may be the issue.
  • Slow wicking in cold weather. Thick liquids slow down in the cold. Let the device and bottle warm to room temperature and give the coil a few more minutes to soak.
  • Sticky bottle and fingers. Wipe the nozzle after every fill and clean the threads of the tank. Dried liquid on the threads can stop the tank sealing correctly.
  • Coil life seems short. Sweet liquids leave residue on the coil, so replacement every one to three weeks is normal. Running at a lower wattage and giving the coil proper priming time both extend its life.
  • Throat hit is too harsh. At 3mg this is unusual. If it is happening, the wattage is probably too high, or the coil is burnt. Turn the power down and check the coil.

If you have tried these steps and the issue persists with a brand-new coil and a correctly filled tank, contact us with your order number, the batch code from the bottle and a short description. We will help you work out whether it is a hardware issue, a handling issue or a fault with the product.

Value for money and honest comparisons

Value is more than the number on the price tag. It depends on how much liquid you use, what your device needs and how much you value being able to try a single flavour without committing to a large bottle. Here is a fair way to think about where Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun sits.

To work out the cost per millilitre, take the price on the product page and divide it by ten. Multiply that by the three or so millilitres a moderate sub-ohm user gets through each day and you have a daily running cost for the liquid. It is a quick calculation, and it makes it easy to compare against other formats.

  • Versus 10ml nic salt bottles. Ranges such as the Dinner Lady Salts 10ml 20mg line are made for pod systems and small tanks. They give a firmer throat hit and are designed for devices that Blue Gun is not a good match for. They are not a like-for-like alternative; they solve a different problem. If you vape on a small pod kit, a nic salt will serve you better. If you vape on a sub-ohm tank, a low-strength VG-led bottle like this one is the more natural choice.
  • Versus 50ml and 200ml shortfills. Shortfills such as the Bang 200ml range cost less per millilitre because the volume is much larger, but they are sold nicotine-free, so you add your own nicotine shots to reach a strength like 3mg. That takes a little extra effort and a bit of arithmetic. If you vape heavily, shortfills usually work out cheaper. If you vape lightly or want to try a flavour first, a 10ml bottle is simpler and less wasteful.
  • Versus other 10ml freebase brands. Plenty of UK brands sell 10ml low-strength bottles in fruit flavours. The meaningful differences are the VG to PG split, the flavour recipe and the packaging, rather than anything dramatic. Vlad's VG is positioned as a straightforward, no-frills range with a distinctive set of flavour names. If a different brand's flavour sounds closer to what you want, there is no reason to stay loyal to one name.
  • Versus disposables. Single-use vapes are no longer sold in the UK, so this is mostly a historical comparison. Where people once chose a disposable for convenience, they now choose a rechargeable kit and a bottle. The up-front cost of a kit is higher, but the running cost per day is usually lower, and there is far less waste.

An honest limitation: a 10ml bottle is the most expensive way to buy liquid per millilitre. You are paying for convenience, strength accuracy and the ability to try a single flavour. A heavy daily user will save money by moving to shortfills and shots, or by buying several bottles at once to spread the delivery cost. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, which is easy to reach by combining a few flavours from the same range.

Overall, Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun makes sense as a low-strength, VG-led refill for adults with a sub-ohm or open-airflow kit who want to try a blue-style fruit flavour without buying a large bottle. If your device or your strength preference is different, one of the alternatives above will probably serve you better, and it is better to know that before you order than after.

  • Coil priming has a small learning curve
  • You handle the bottle — less discreet than pods

Customer Buying Tips

  • Match the strength to how much you smoked: 20+/day → 10-20 mg nic salt; 10/day → 10 mg; under 5/day → 3-6 mg freebase.
  • Match the ratio to your device: pod kits take 50/50, sub-ohm tanks take 70/30 shortfill.
  • Don't overfill: leaving the airhole clear prevents gurgling and leaking.
  • Shake before use so the nicotine and flavour integrate evenly.

Frequently asked questions

What nicotine strength is Vlad's VG 10ml 3mg Blue Gun and is it right for me?

It is 3mg per ml, which is 0.3% nicotine by volume and a low freebase strength. It suits adults using a sub-ohm tank or open-airflow device with a larger, smoother draw. If you use a small pod kit built for nic salts or you want a strong throat hit, a higher strength or a nic salt bottle will probably suit you better.

Can I use it in a pod kit or does it need a sub-ohm tank?

It suits tanks and refillable pods with open or adjustable airflow and a coil that can handle a thicker, VG-led liquid. Very small pod systems designed for nic salts and thin liquids can wick poorly with it. Check your device manual for its maximum recommended VG level before filling.

How do I charge it?

The bottle has no battery, so there is nothing to charge. The battery is in the device you fill. Charge that with the cable supplied or a reputable replacement, on a hard surface, and never leave it charging unattended overnight. Recycle old devices and batteries at a proper drop-off point rather than in household bins.

What other flavours are in the Vlad's VG 10ml range?

Alongside Blue Gun, the 10ml 3mg range includes Attraction Fatal, Black Ice Breaking Point, Heisenberg No Ice, Loser, Pinkman Revamped and Raspberry Blast. All are sold in the same size and strength, so you can swap flavours without changing anything else about your setup. Rinse your tank before switching to avoid mixing tastes.

How long does a 10ml bottle last?

It depends on your device and habits. A moderate sub-ohm user might use around three millilitres a day, so a bottle lasts roughly three days, while a light user on a low-power kit could stretch it past a week. Heavier users on high wattage may finish it in two days. These are typical ranges, not guarantees.

Is it good value compared with a shortfill?

Per millilitre, a 10ml bottle costs more than a large shortfill. What you pay for is convenience, a set strength with no mixing and the ability to try one flavour without committing to a big bottle. Light and occasional users usually find 10ml bottles simpler, while heavy daily users often save money with shortfills and nicotine shots.

Who should not buy it?

Anyone under 18, and anyone who does not already smoke or vape, because nicotine is addictive. It is also a poor match for users of small nic salt pod kits and for anyone who wants a high nicotine strength or a strong throat hit. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, speak to a healthcare professional first.

Do you deliver across the UK and how fast?

Yes. We deliver across the UK, with free delivery on orders over £20, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Every product we sell is 100% genuine. An age check applies to all nicotine products, and the parcel may need to be received by an adult.

What is the returns policy if something is wrong with my bottle?

If your bottle arrives damaged, leaking, with a broken tamper ring or is not what you ordered, contact us promptly with your order number and photos and we will put it right. E-liquid does not carry a device-style warranty, and opened bottles generally cannot be returned for hygiene reasons. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

How should I store the bottle and dispose of it when empty?

Store it upright with the cap fully closed, somewhere cool, dark and out of reach of children and pets. The cap is child-resistant, but that is a safeguard and not a guarantee. When the bottle is empty, check your local council's guidance on recycling small plastic bottles, and take any used vape devices or batteries to a recycling drop-off point.

Will reorder

Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
