Yeti Candy Cane 100ml: what you are actually buying

Yeti Candy Cane 100ml is a candy-mint e-liquid sold as a 100ml shortfill. In plain terms, that is a large bottle of nicotine-free liquid designed for refillable vape kits: sub-ohm tanks, mesh-coil pod systems and other devices that handle a thinner, higher-VG liquid without starving the wick. The flavour is built around the familiar candy cane: sweet, sugary peppermint with a cool finish, sitting somewhere between a boiled sweet and a soft mint.

Yeti is a range sold widely through UK vape shops and online retailers, and it covers fruit, ice, dessert and sweet-shop flavours. Candy Cane belongs to the sweet-and-minty end of that catalogue. As the name suggests, it draws on a winter sweet, so it tends to sell most in the colder months, but nothing about the recipe stops it being vaped all year round.

The headline details at a glance:

• Format: 100ml shortfill, supplied nicotine-free (0mg)
• Bottle: a larger plastic bottle with headroom left at the top for nicotine shots, with a child-resistant cap and tamper-evident seal
• VG/PG: a high-VG blend, commonly 70VG/30PG across this type of shortfill (check the label on your bottle)
• Flavour: candy cane, peppermint, sugar sweetness, cool finish
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks and mesh-coil pod kits running roughly 20W to 60W
• Nicotine: vape it at 0mg or add nicotine shots yourself

This page walks through the flavour, how the liquid behaves in a tank, which coils suit it, how to add nicotine sensibly, how to troubleshoot common problems and how it compares with the alternatives. We have tried to be straightforward about trade-offs, including the cases where you would be better off with something else. Where a detail can vary between batches, such as the exact VG/PG split or bottle size, we say so and suggest checking the label on the bottle you receive.

Vaping products are for adults only; you must be 18 or over to buy in the UK. Nicotine is addictive. If you do not smoke or vape already, there is no reason to start, and this product is aimed at existing smokers and vapers.

Flavour profile: sugared peppermint with a cool finish

Candy cane flavours are a balancing act. Too much peppermint and the liquid tastes like toothpaste; too much sugar and the mint vanishes behind a flat sweetness. Yeti Candy Cane aims for the middle ground, and the profile reads as sweet first, mint second, with the cooling note building as you exhale.

On the inhale you get a light, sugary sweetness, closer to the surface of a boiled mint sweet than to a syrupy dessert. There is a faint rounded, vanilla-like softness underneath, the kind many candy recipes use to smooth the edges of the mint.

On the exhale the peppermint comes through more clearly. You feel a cooling sensation across the tongue and the back of the throat, but it is a cool finish rather than an icy blast. This is not a heavy menthol liquid. If you want a chest-freezing hit, other flavours in the Yeti range go much further in that direction, and the Ice Cold style of liquid is the obvious place to look.

The aftertaste is a clean, slightly sweet mint that fades over a few seconds. Because it is a sweetened liquid, some sugary residue can linger on the palate during long sessions, which is worth knowing if you tend to chain vape.

How the flavour shifts with your settings:

• Lower power (about 20W to 30W): sweeter, rounder and slightly softer on the mint. Vapour is cooler on the tongue.
• Mid power (about 30W to 45W): the most balanced result for most mesh coils, with sweetness and mint in proportion.
• Higher power (about 45W to 60W): brighter, sharper mint and warmer vapour. The sweetness thins out and the risk of a burnt note rises if the coil is not fully primed.
• Tighter airflow: more concentrated flavour, a slightly warmer draw.
• Open airflow: lighter, airier flavour and more cooling from the incoming air.

A caveat worth stating plainly: flavour perception is personal, and the description above is a guide rather than a laboratory analysis. If you have tried other candy-mint liquids, expect something in the same family rather than a copy of any one of them. Flavour also changes a little with steeping and with how long a coil has been in use, both of which we cover below.

Bottle design, build quality and the VG/PG blend

A shortfill bottle is practical rather than decorative, and the sensible way to judge one is by how well it does its job: pours cleanly, seals properly, stays child-resistant and leaves room for what you need to add.

Bottle and nozzle. Yeti shortfills use a soft, squeezable plastic bottle with a fine tip. The fine tip matters because many sub-ohm tanks and pod fill ports are small, and a wide nozzle makes spills almost certain. The bottle is deliberately supplied under filled so there is headroom to add nicotine shots. Check the label for the exact capacity on your batch; the usual arrangement is 100ml of liquid in a bottle large enough to take up to two 10ml shots.

Cap and seal. The cap is a child-resistant design that you press and turn, and a tamper-evident ring should be intact when you open the bottle for the first time. If the ring is already broken on delivery, contact the retailer rather than using the liquid.

Labelling. UK-sold bottles carry the required health warning, ingredient information and batch details. It is worth keeping the batch code visible on the bottle if you decant, because it helps if you ever need to report an issue.

VG/PG blend. Shortfills in this class are typically high-VG, commonly around 70VG/30PG. Vegetable glycerine (VG) gives thicker, denser vapour and a softer throat feel. Propylene glycol (PG) carries flavour and gives a slightly sharper throat hit. A 70VG blend is thin enough for modern mesh coils and thick enough to produce a decent cloud, which is why it is the default across the shortfill category.

• Good fit: mesh coils at 0.15 to 0.4 ohm, sub-ohm tanks, high-power pod kits with wide wicking ports
• Poor fit: small pod kits with 0.8 to 1.2 ohm coils designed for nicotine salts, and fixed-wick pods that block thick liquid

Recycling the empty bottle. Once empty, rinse the bottle, remove the cap and check your local council guidance on plastics. Many councils accept clean rigid plastic in household recycling, but the rules differ by area. Worn-out kits and batteries should not go in household bin; take them to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer take-back point that accepts vape recycling.

Performance and vapour delivery

A shortfill does not have a puff count in the way a disposable does, so the useful measure is how much liquid your device uses and how consistently it delivers flavour and vapour from the first fill to the last.

Vapour production. With a high-VG liquid at 30W to 50W on a mesh coil, expect dense, medium-to-large clouds with a smooth, cool draw. The vapour is wetter and heavier than you would get from a nicotine-salt pod, which is part of the appeal for people who like a direct-to-lung style of vaping.

Throat hit. At 0mg the throat hit is mild, driven mostly by the mint and the PG share of the blend. Adding nicotine raises it noticeably. At 3mg the throat hit is moderate; at 6mg it becomes firm on a sub-ohm setup.

Consumption. Sub-ohm vaping uses more liquid than mouth-to-lung pod vaping. Typical figures for a mesh-coil sub-ohm setup at 35W to 45W sit in the region of 2ml to 4ml a day for a regular user, so a 100ml bottle gives roughly 25 to 50 days of use. A heavy user chaining at 60W might double that rate.

• Light user (1ml to 2ml a day): about 50 to 100 days per bottle, so check storage conditions and the best-before date
• Regular user (2ml to 4ml a day): about 25 to 50 days per bottle
• Heavy user (5ml or more a day): about 20 days or less per bottle

Consistency across the bottle. The flavour should stay recognisable from the first tank to the last. If you notice it fading in the final third of the bottle, the usual cause is a tired coil rather than the liquid, particularly with sweet flavours that gradually coat the coil. Swap the coil before blaming the bottle.

Running it hot. Sweetened liquids tolerate heat less well than clean fruit flavours. If you push a candy liquid beyond the top of the coil's rated wattage range the mint turns harsh and the sugar scorches, which shortens coil life. Staying in the lower half of the coil's stated range is the easiest way to get a good result.

Coil and mesh technology: what to pair it with

Coil choice shapes how this liquid tastes more than almost any other variable. A 70VG liquid wants a coil with a large wicking surface, and modern mesh coils are built for exactly that.

Why mesh suits a high-VG liquid. A mesh coil is a flat or cylindrical sheet of fine metal mesh with cotton pressed against it. The large surface area heats liquid evenly and wicks quickly, which is why a thick shortfill does not starve it. Compared with a traditional round-wire coil, mesh usually gives more flavour consistency and less hot-spotting.

• 0.15 to 0.2 ohm mesh: designed for roughly 50W to 80W; good for heavy cloud, but burns through sweet liquid quickly. Run it at the lower end of the range for this flavour.
• 0.2 to 0.3 ohm mesh: a sensible middle choice at roughly 35W to 55W; balances flavour and cloud.
• 0.4 to 0.6 ohm mesh: suits lower power, about 20W to 35W, with a tighter draw and longer coil life.
• 0.8 ohm and above: usually built for nicotine salts and low-VG liquid. A 70VG shortfill can wick poorly in these coils and may gurgle or give dry hits.

Priming. Always prime a new coil. Drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton visible through the coil's wicking holes, fill the tank, then let it sit for five to ten minutes before the first puff. Skipping this step is the most common reason new coils burn on first use.

Coil life. With a sweetened mint liquid expect somewhere between one and three weeks per coil at typical use. Sugars and sweeteners caramelise on the coil surface over time. When the flavour turns flat or slightly burnt even with a full tank, replace the coil. Rinsing the tank when you swap coils helps stop old residue transferring to the new one.

Chain vaping. Take pauses of ten to fifteen seconds between puffs on high-power mesh builds. This gives the cotton time to re-wick, which keeps the flavour clean and avoids burnt hits.

Pod systems. If you use a refillable pod kit, check the maker's coil rating. Some pod kits run well on 70VG with a 0.6 to 0.8 ohm coil at low wattage; many do not. When in doubt, look at what the manufacturer recommends for VG ratio.

Battery and charging: matching the device to the liquid

E-liquid has no battery of its own, but the battery in your kit has a direct effect on how this flavour tastes and how long a day's vaping lasts. A weak or flat battery sags in voltage, and a sagging battery heats the coil unevenly, which flattens flavour and makes the mint taste thin.

Built-in battery kits. A typical rechargeable mod-style kit uses a built-in cell of roughly 1,500mAh to 3,000mAh. Here is the rough arithmetic. A three-second puff at 40W uses about 120 joules, or about 0.033 watt-hours. A 3,000mAh cell at 3.7V stores about 11 watt-hours, which works out to somewhere in the region of 250 to 330 puffs at 40W once you allow for conversion losses. At 25W the same cell covers considerably more puffs. These are estimates, not guarantees, and real figures depend on your puff length and settings.

Removable 18650 and 21700 cells. Higher-power mesh coils at 50W or above should be paired with a cell that has a suitable continuous discharge rating. As a rule of thumb, choose a cell rated for at least 20A continuous for a single-cell device running 40W to 60W, and always buy cells from a reputable supplier. Never use damaged or re-wrapped cells.

• Charging: use the cable supplied or a quality USB-C cable with a reputable charger; avoid very cheap unbranded chargers
• Where to charge: on a hard, non-flammable surface and not under a pillow, on a sofa or on a bed
• Overnight charging: avoid it; unplug when the indicator shows full
• Carrying spare cells: use a plastic cell case, never loose in a pocket with keys or coins
• Damaged devices: stop using any device with a swollen, hot, dented or leaking battery

Nicotine cap context. The UK limit for consumer vaping products is 20mg per ml. That cap applies to all nicotine e-liquids and applied equally to disposables before the sale of single-use vapes was banned in June 2025. Because shortfills like this one are supplied at 0mg, any nicotine you add comes from separate shots, and the resulting strength is always a fraction of that 20mg ceiling.

End of life. When a battery or device is finished, do not put it in the household bin or ordinary recycling. Take it to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer that runs a vape recycling scheme. Tape the terminals of loose cells before dropping them off.

Nicotine strength guidance and how shots work

Yeti Candy Cane 100ml is supplied at 0mg because UK rules restrict nicotine-containing e-liquid to containers of 10ml or smaller, at a maximum of 20mg per ml. A 100ml bottle cannot legally contain nicotine, so every bottle at this size on every UK site is nicotine-free. The headroom in the bottle is there so you can add nicotine shots if you want them.

The sum. Final strength is the shot strength multiplied by the shot volume, divided by the total volume after mixing.

• One 10ml shot at 18mg into 100ml of liquid: 110ml at roughly 1.6mg per ml
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg into a bottle with space for 120ml: about 3mg per ml
• One 10ml shot at 20mg into 100ml: about 1.8mg per ml
• Two 10ml shots at 20mg into 120ml: about 3.3mg per ml

If the bottle on your batch holds less than 100ml of liquid, the numbers shift upwards, so work through the sum with the figures on your label before adding anything.

Choosing a strength. Shortfills are meant for low-strength, high-power vaping, so the useful range is narrow.

• 0mg: for people who do not want nicotine, ex-smokers who have stopped nicotine entirely, or anyone using vaping as a habit substitute only
• About 1.5mg to 3mg: a common starting point for former light to moderate smokers vaping at 30W to 50W on a mesh coil
• About 3mg to 6mg: for people used to a stronger throat hit. At the top of this range on a high-power setup, the hit can feel firm and the dose per puff is high because you inhale a lot of liquid.
• Above 6mg: not a practical range for shortfill vaping; you would not be able to add enough shots, and the sub-ohm delivery would be harsh. Heavier smokers usually do better with a nicotine-salt pod kit.

Freebase or nicotine salt shots. For a sub-ohm tank, use freebase nicotine shots, which are designed for higher-VG liquids and larger clouds. Nicotine salt shots deliver nicotine faster at lower power and can feel smoother, but at the high wattage a mesh coil uses, the dose can climb quickly. They are better suited to pod kits.

Start low. It is easier to add nicotine to a bottle than to take it out. If you are unsure, start with one shot, not two, and see how it feels over a few days. Nicotine is addictive, and the aim for most people should be to reduce it over time.

Who Yeti Candy Cane 100ml is for, and who should skip it

Every flavour suits some people and not others. Here is an honest reading of where this one fits.

It is a good match for:

• Sweet-and-mint fans. If you like soft mints, peppermint sweets or seasonal candy flavours, this sits squarely in that territory.
• Sub-ohm and mesh-coil users. The 70VG blend is formulated for this style of kit and delivers its best flavour there.
• Vapers who go through a lot of liquid. The 100ml format cuts the cost per ml and cuts the number of bottles you handle and recycle.
• Ex-smokers moving down in nicotine. A 0mg to 3mg range is a reasonable step-down zone for people who have already moved off cigarettes.
• People who want seasonal variety. It is a change from fruit-ice flavours without being as heavy as a dessert liquid.

You might want to look elsewhere if:

• You want a strong menthol blast. This is a cool finish, not a heavy ice liquid. Look at the Ice Cold style liquids instead.
• You dislike sweetness. The sugar note is a major part of the profile, and plain peppermint or menthol liquids will suit you better.
• You use a small mouth-to-lung pod kit. A thick 70VG liquid in a 0.8 to 1.2 ohm pod coil can wick badly. A nicotine-salt 10ml bottle designed for pods is the right tool for that job.
• You are a heavy smoker needing high nicotine. Shortfill strengths top out low, and a nicotine-salt bottle in a pod kit will usually be a better route.
• You are not already a smoker or vaper. Please do not start. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is not risk-free even though it is generally considered less harmful than smoking.

The product is not aimed at under-18s and cannot legally be sold to them. If you are buying for someone else who is under 18, do not; proxy sales are an offence.

If you are a smoker who is thinking of switching, the NHS and local stop smoking services offer free support, and a vape shop adviser can help you match a kit and strength to your habits. Use this page as a starting point rather than as a substitute for that conversation.

How to use it: filling, adding nicotine and priming

Shortfills are simple once you have done them once. Here is a clear sequence for a first bottle.

• Step 1: check the seal. Make sure the tamper-evident ring is intact, and confirm the batch label shows the liquid volume and VG/PG ratio.
• Step 2: decide on nicotine. If you are adding shots, work out the sum first using the figures on your label.
• Step 3: add the shots. Open the bottle, then open each nicotine shot and squeeze the contents into the headroom. Do this over a sink or tray in case of spills, and keep both bottles away from children and pets.
• Step 4: mix. Recap the bottle firmly and shake for 30 to 60 seconds. Then let it sit for a few minutes and shake again. Nicotine in thick liquid can settle if mixed poorly, and uneven mixing causes uneven strength from tank to tank.
• Step 5: steep. Many people vape a freshly mixed bottle straight away. A rest of 24 to 48 hours with the cap loosened briefly once or twice can soften the edges of the mint and let the flavours blend, though the effect is subtle with a fresh high-VG liquid.
• Step 6: prime the coil. Drip a few drops onto the cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank slowly down the inside wall, and wait five to ten minutes.
• Step 7: start low. Begin around the lower end of the coil's recommended wattage range, take a few short puffs and increase in small steps until the flavour sits where you like it.

Filling a tank. Close the airflow completely before filling, so liquid does not flood into the coil. Fill to just below the top of the tank, never above the max line, and avoid pouring directly over the central chimney, because flooding the chimney leads to leaks and gurgling. Close the tank, reopen the airflow and let it settle.

Storage. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly closed. Light, heat and air all degrade e-liquid over time, causing darker colour and flatter flavour. A drawer or cupboard away from windows and radiators is ideal. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets at all times, including empty nicotine shot bottles.

Spills. If nicotine liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water straight away. If swallowed or if irritation continues, seek medical advice.

Troubleshooting: leaks, burnt hits, weak flavour and gurgling

Most problems with shortfills come down to a few predictable causes. Work through this list before deciding the liquid is at fault.

• Burnt taste straight after fitting a new coil. The coil was not primed. Remove the tank, drip liquid on the cotton, refill, wait ten minutes and use lower wattage for the first few puffs.
• Burnt taste with an older coil. The cotton is dry or the coil is gunked up with sugar. Replace the coil. A sweet liquid caramelises over time, so a coil may last one to three weeks.
• Flavour seems weak or flat. This can be coil age, power set too low or too high, or vaper's tongue (temporary taste fatigue). Try a fresh coil, adjust your wattage by about 5W, and switch to a different flavour for a day.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid in the airflow path. Check the tank is not overfilled, the airflow is not partially blocked and the coil seals properly. A little wipe of the base with a tissue usually fixes it.
• Leaking from the tank. Usually a loose coil, a worn O-ring, or overfilling. Reseat the coil, check the seals and fill to below the max line. Leaks are more common when going from sea level to altitude or when the kit is tipped on its side.
• Dry hits. The cotton is not wicking fast enough. This usually comes from too little liquid in the tank, too much power for the coil, or too long between pauses. Fill the tank, lower the wattage and pause between puffs.
• Throat hit feels sharper than expected. Either the nicotine strength is higher than you meant or the mix is uneven. Shake the bottle again and check your sums.
• Sticky residue on the bottle or kit. Normal with a sweet, high-VG liquid. Wipe it off with a damp cloth.
• Cloudy or darker liquid after a few months. Colour change is common with ageing and heat. If the smell or taste has changed noticeably, discard it rather than risk a bad experience.
• Bottle pressure. Squeeze the bottle gently, and open the cap slowly when the room is warm, because pressure can push liquid out.

If a problem persists with several coils, and your device is otherwise working well, contact the retailer with the batch code, the date of purchase and a short description of what you are seeing.

Value for money and the real running cost

The simplest way to judge shortfill value is to work out cost per millilitre, then work out cost per day of vaping. That puts every liquid, whatever its packaging, on the same scale.

Cost per ml. Divide the bottle price by 100. UK shortfills at this size commonly sit in the region of 10p to 20p per ml, which is far below the cost per ml of 10ml nicotine-salt or freebase bottles. A 10ml bottle at a typical retail price works out several times higher per ml. Check the live price on the product page, as pricing and offers change.

Adding nicotine. Nicotine shots are sold separately, usually at a modest price each. Add the cost of one or two shots to the bottle price to get your real cost per bottle. Even with two shots, the total typically comes in well below buying twelve 10ml bottles.

Cost per day. At a regular sub-ohm use of 2ml to 4ml a day, a 100ml bottle lasts roughly 25 to 50 days. That brings the daily cost of the liquid to a small fraction of what most people spend on cigarettes. Remember to count the other running costs too, namely coils and battery replacements.

• Coils: typically one every one to three weeks with sweet liquids, so two to four coils for each bottle
• Batteries: a built-in cell lasts hundreds of charge cycles; removable cells need replacing roughly every year or two under heavy use
• Shots: one or two per bottle if you want nicotine

Where the value is weaker. If you only vape a millilitre a day or less, a 100ml bottle can take three months or more to finish, and e-liquid does not improve with that kind of age. In that situation, a smaller shortfill size might suit you better.

Stocking up. If you are happy with the flavour, buying a second bottle can save on delivery. Do not stockpile more than you can use within a reasonable time, and store spare bottles in a cool, dark spot.

Overall, for a regular sub-ohm vaper who enjoys sweet mint flavours, the cost per ml is competitive and the 100ml format reduces waste, since there are fewer bottles and less packaging per ml of liquid than ten separate small bottles.

Honest comparisons with similar options

No flavour is right for everyone, and it helps to see where Candy Cane sits against the alternatives you are probably considering. We have not run side-by-side lab tests, so these comparisons are by category and style rather than recipe-by-recipe claims.

Against plain peppermint or menthol liquids. A straight mint is cleaner and cooler, with no sugar note and generally less coil residue. If you want a crisp, refreshing vape without sweetness, plain mint or menthol will suit you better. Candy Cane trades some of that crispness for a rounder, more dessert-like profile.

Against Yeti's own ice flavours. The Ice Cold and Blizzard style liquids in the same range are much colder, with a heavier cooling agent. Candy Cane is gentler. If you find the ice liquids sharp, this is a softer entry point; if you find them a bit intense for all-day use, this is a good alternative.

Against other UK shortfill ranges. Brands such as IVG, Doozy Vape Co and Dr Frost each carry mint and ice flavours of their own. Recipes differ, and a sweet mint from one brand can taste noticeably different from another, so treat any brand-to-brand comparison with some caution. Pricing at the 100ml size is broadly similar across the category, so flavour preference should decide it.

Against 10ml nicotine-salt bottles. Salts are built for low-power pod kits and deliver nicotine faster and more smoothly. They cost more per ml but need less liquid per day. If you are a heavier smoker or you use a small pod device, salts are a better route. If you use a mesh-coil tank and like larger vapour, shortfill is the better format.

Against disposables. Single-use vapes are no longer sold in the UK after the June 2025 ban, and for most people a refillable kit with a shortfill is cheaper in the long run and produces less waste. The trade-off is that a refillable kit needs more setup: coils, charging and refilling.

• Pick Candy Cane if: you want sweet mint, you use a sub-ohm or mesh kit and you prefer 0mg to 3mg
• Pick a plain mint if: you want a crisp, unsweetened vape and minimal coil residue
• Pick an ice flavour if: you want a strong cooling effect
• Pick a nic-salt 10ml if: you use a small pod device or need a higher nicotine strength
