Overview of Yeti Original 100ml Frost Bite

Yeti Original 100ml Frost Bite is a nicotine-free shortfill e-liquid from Yeti, supplied in a 120ml bottle that holds 100ml of flavoured liquid and leaves headroom for nicotine shots. Frost Bite is the ice-led flavour in the Yeti Original line, and it is aimed at adult vapers who want a cold, crisp hit rather than a warm dessert or tobacco profile. It is made for refillable devices only, such as sub-ohm tanks, mesh-coil pod kits and other refillable tanks that handle a high-VG liquid.

Shortfills exist because of the way UK rules are structured. Nicotine-containing e-liquid can only be sold in bottles of 10ml or less and at a maximum strength of 20mg/ml, while nicotine-free liquid has no such bottle limit. A 100ml shortfill is therefore supplied at 0mg/ml, and you add your own nicotine shots if you want any strength at all. That makes it a flexible format: leave it nicotine-free, add one shot for a light strength, or add two for a medium one.

The quick facts:

• Volume: 100ml of e-liquid in a 120ml bottle, with room for up to two 10ml nicotine shots
• Nicotine: 0mg/ml as supplied, about 1.6mg/ml with one 18mg/ml shot, or 3mg/ml with two
• Base: high-VG, usually listed as 70VG/30PG across the Yeti Original range (check the label on your bottle for the exact ratio)
• Flavour: Frost Bite, an ice-forward profile with a light sweet backing
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks and mesh-coil refillable kits, rather than tight, high-resistance pod systems
• Age restriction: sold to adults aged 18+ only

This page walks through what the liquid is like to use, how to set it up properly, how to choose a nicotine strength, what to do when something goes wrong, and how it stacks up against other options. If you do not currently use nicotine, the 0mg bottle on its own is the appropriate choice, and you should only add shots if you are already a nicotine user and know the strength you want.

Key specifications and what they mean

E-liquid does not have a battery, a coil or a puff count of its own, so it is worth being clear about which numbers matter for a bottle like this. The figures that actually affect your experience are the bottle volume, the nicotine arithmetic, and the VG/PG balance. Everything else, including wattage, coil resistance and charging, depends on the device you pair it with and is covered in the later sections.

The shortfill arithmetic

• No shots added: 100ml at 0mg/ml, which is the correct starting point for anyone who wants nicotine-free vaping.
• One 10ml shot at 18mg/ml: 110ml in total at roughly 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg/ml: 120ml in total at 3mg/ml, which fills the bottle to the neck.

The 20ml of spare space in the bottle is deliberate. It is sized for two standard shots and nothing more, which is why a shortfill like this tops out at 3mg/ml. If you need a higher strength than that, a ready-mixed 10ml nicotine salt or freebase bottle is the right tool instead.

Why the VG/PG ratio matters

VG (vegetable glycerine) produces the thick, dense vapour that suits sub-ohm vaping and carries flavour smoothly. PG (propylene glycol) is thinner and gives a little more throat hit while helping the liquid wick quickly through the coil. A 70VG/30PG blend, which is the typical ratio across this range, is thick enough to produce plenty of vapour but still thin enough to feed mesh coils reliably. Nicotine shots are often supplied in a 50VG/50PG base, so adding two will shift the overall ratio very slightly. In practice most people never notice the change.

What does not apply to this product

• Puff count: a figure quoted for disposables and prefilled pods. For a 100ml bottle it depends entirely on how you vape, and we cover real-world consumption in the performance section.
• Battery capacity: belongs to your device, not the liquid.
• Coil type: also a device choice, although some coils suit this liquid far better than others.

On the regulatory side, nicotine shots sold in the UK come in 10ml bottles with child-resistant and tamper-evident closures, and nicotine e-liquids must be notified to the MHRA before they can be sold. Buying from a UK retailer means those checks have already been handled for the shots you add. The shortfill itself carries no nicotine, but it is still a product for adults and should be stored out of reach of children and pets.

Flavour profile: what Frost Bite tastes like

Frost Bite sits in the ice-led corner of the Yeti Original range. Treat this description as a guide to the style of the liquid rather than an ingredient list, because individual palates differ and the strength of the cooling in particular changes with the device you use.

The headline is the chill. On the inhale you can expect a clean, cold sensation that arrives quickly and fades tidily instead of lingering as a sharp, medicinal edge. On the exhale the cold carries through the back of the throat and into the nose, which is where ice flavours tend to feel most dramatic. Liquids in this style generally rely on cooling agents, sometimes alongside a little menthol, and the aim is a fresh, frosty feel rather than the pronounced peppermint taste of a straight menthol e-liquid.

Underneath the cold there is a light sweetness that gives the liquid some body. That sweetness is what separates an ice flavour from a plain menthol: it stops the profile feeling thin and gives your palate something to hold on to between the chills. It is not a heavy dessert sweetness and it is not a sour candy profile either, so it sits comfortably in the middle for people who find fruit-bomb liquids cloying.

How the flavour behaves in different set-ups

• Low wattage or a tight pod: the cooling is gentle, the sweet backing is easier to pick out, and the vapour feels softer.
• Mid wattage on a mesh sub-ohm coil: the balance most vapers settle on, with a clear cold hit and a rounded finish.
• High wattage: warmer, denser vapour carries more cooling to the throat, so the frost becomes much more pronounced and can feel harsh if you vape in long, repeated draws.

Two things worth knowing before you buy

First, strongly cooling liquids can numb your palate for a few minutes, so some vapers find the flavour seems to fade during a long session. That is a normal effect of cooling agents and is not a fault in the liquid. Taking a break or a sip of water resets it. Second, nicotine changes the character. A shot adds throat hit, and a cooling liquid combined with a firmer throat hit feels sharper than either on its own. If you are new to ice flavours, begin at 0mg or with a single shot and adjust from there.

If you decide the cooling is more than you want, the wider Yeti catalogue includes lines such as Yeti No Ice, which keeps the flavours but drops the chill. If you want to turn it up instead, a line named Ice Cold is the obvious next stop, although how much colder it actually tastes is down to personal perception.

Performance and puff delivery

Performance with a shortfill is mostly about two things: how much vapour and flavour you get per draw, and how long a bottle lasts. Frost Bite is a high-VG liquid, so in a suitable device it delivers dense, smooth vapour and a clear cold hit. In a poorly matched device it will wick slowly and taste muted, which is covered in the troubleshooting section.

Vapour and throat hit

At 0mg the throat hit is mild and comes mostly from the cooling rather than from nicotine or PG. Add one shot and you get a light, rounded throat hit; add two and it firms up noticeably. Vapour density is high, as you would expect from a 70VG base, and it lingers in the air a little longer than a thinner liquid would. If you vape in shared indoor spaces, be considerate and check the rules wherever you are, as many venues restrict vaping.

How long does 100ml actually last?

There is no puff count for a bottle, so the honest answer is a range based on typical use:

• Light use on a pod kit: around 2 to 3ml a day, so a bottle can last a month or more.
• Moderate use on a mesh tank: around 3 to 5ml a day, putting a bottle at roughly three to five weeks.
• Heavy sub-ohm use at higher wattage: 8ml a day or more, which can drain a bottle in under two weeks.

These are illustrative figures, not guarantees. Consumption rises with wattage and with the size of the coil, because a bigger coil heats more liquid per second. If you want a bottle to stretch further, lowering the wattage a few watts within your coil's range is the simplest change.

Tank fills in practice

UK-market tanks and pods designed for nicotine liquid hold 2ml, so 100ml is roughly 50 fills of a 2ml pod. If you use a larger tank at 0mg, you will refill less often, though the same overall volume applies. Either way, keep the bottle tightly closed between fills and store it somewhere cool and dark, as heat and sunlight degrade flavour over time.

Consistency from start to finish

Good flavour delivery depends on the coil as much as the liquid. A fresh mesh coil gives the cleanest, coldest hit, and as the coil ages the flavour gradually flattens and the sweet backing can taste slightly burnt. Replacing the coil when the taste drops off is part of normal use and will make a bigger difference to flavour than changing any setting on your device.

Design and build quality of the bottle

The packaging matters more than people expect with a shortfill, because you are going to open, shake and pour from the same bottle many times. Yeti Original 100ml bottles follow the standard format for this category: a 120ml soft plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, a tamper-evident seal and a child-resistant closure. These features are common across UK shortfills, and it is worth checking each of them when your order arrives.

What to look for when it arrives

• Intact tamper ring: the plastic band under the cap should be unbroken. If it has been split, contact the retailer before using the bottle.
• Clean label and batch details: the label should carry the product name, volume, the 0mg nicotine declaration, ingredient information and a batch or date code.
• Firm seal under the cap: a bottle that has leaked in transit is easy to spot from residue around the nozzle.

Handling the nozzle and filling cleanly

The narrow nozzle is designed for filling small tank ports without spilling. Squeeze gently and steadily rather than hard, because a fast squeeze forces liquid out in a burst and can flood the tank. A good habit is to rest the nozzle against the edge of the fill port and let the liquid run down the inside wall of the tank, which reduces air bubbles and keeps the liquid off the coil head.

The headroom for shots

The bottle has a marked gap at the top, and the nozzle itself is long enough that you can remove it to add nicotine shots, though many people simply unscrew the cap and pour the shots straight in. Whichever you do, close the bottle firmly and shake it hard for at least thirty seconds so the nicotine blends evenly. It is much easier to mix a bottle that is filled to the neck, so a two-shot mix is often more consistent than a one-shot mix, where the larger air gap lets liquid settle in layers.

Storage and shelf life

E-liquid is a perishable consumable and the bottle will carry a date code. Keep it upright, away from radiators and direct sunlight, and well out of reach of children and pets. A cool cupboard is ideal. Once opened, plan to use the liquid within a few months for the freshest flavour, as repeated exposure to air gradually dulls the cooling and sweetness.

Disposing of empty bottles

Make sure bottles are completely empty before disposal, and check your local council's rules on household plastic recycling, since they differ from area to area. Nicotine shot bottles should be treated with the same care as any other product that held nicotine.

Battery and charging: matching the liquid to your device

The liquid has no battery, but the battery in your device determines whether Frost Bite performs well, so this is worth getting right. High-VG liquid in a mesh coil needs steady power to vaporise properly, and a weak or ageing battery is a common reason for muted flavour and weak vapour.

Typical battery sizes by device type

• Pod kits: usually have built-in batteries from roughly 500 to 1500mAh, suited to coils running at around 15 to 30W.
• Sub-ohm pen-style kits: commonly have built-in batteries of around 1500 to 3000mAh, running coils up to 40 or 50W.
• Box mods: typically use one or two removable 18650 or 21700 cells of roughly 3000 to 5000mAh each, running coils at 40 to 80W or more.

These are category-level figures for devices in general, not specifications of any single product. Always check the manual for the device you own.

Charging safely

• Use the cable supplied with your kit, or a reputable USB-C cable, and a standard wall adapter rather than a very high-output fast charger.
• Do not charge a device on a bed, sofa or any soft surface, and do not leave it charging unattended or overnight.
• Stop using any battery that is dented, hot to touch while idle, or has a damaged wrap, and replace it.
• If you use removable cells, carry and store them in a case, never loose in a pocket with keys or coins.

Most built-in pod batteries charge in roughly one to two hours, though that depends on the cell and the charger. A device that charges but loses power quickly is usually showing its age and may need replacing.

Recycling vape batteries and devices

Vapes and their batteries are classed as waste electrical and electronic equipment and must never go in household bins or kerbside recycling, where they can start fires in collection vehicles and sorting plants. In the UK there are several drop-off routes:

• Retailers: shops that sell vapes are expected to offer take-back for old vaping devices and batteries.
• Household waste recycling centres: most have a small electricals container and a battery bin.
• Supermarket battery points: many accept loose batteries at the entrance.
• Online locators: the Recycle Your Electricals website lets you search by postcode for your nearest drop-off point.

This also applies to any device you used with Frost Bite once it reaches the end of its life. Switching to a refillable kit that lasts for years, instead of repeatedly buying single-use products, reduces the electrical waste you generate in the first place.

Coil and mesh technology: what suits this liquid

Choosing the right coil is the single biggest lever on how Frost Bite tastes. A 70VG liquid is thick, and it needs a coil with enough wicking surface and large enough intake ports to feed the cotton quickly. Get this wrong and you will taste dry, hot or burnt vapour whatever the wattage.

Why mesh suits high-VG liquid

A mesh coil is a flat sheet of metal mesh lined with cotton, rather than a round wire wrapped around a cotton core. The wide surface area heats evenly and has a lot of cotton in contact with the metal, which is exactly what thick liquid needs. The result is faster wicking, more consistent flavour and less risk of the dry hits that can happen with older round-wire designs when you push the power. For a cooling flavour, even heating is a real advantage, because uneven heat can bring out a harsh, scorched note on top of the cold.

Matching resistance to the way you vape

• Sub-ohm mesh coils, around 0.15 to 0.4 ohms: built for direct-to-lung vaping at roughly 40 to 80W. They produce big clouds and are the natural home of a 70VG shortfill at 0mg or a light 1.6mg strength.
• Mid-resistance mesh coils, around 0.6 to 0.8 ohms: found in many refillable pod kits, running at roughly 15 to 30W. They give a looser, cooler draw and work well with this liquid at 3mg for vapers who want a bit more throat hit without going to a tight mouth-to-lung draw.
• High-resistance coils of 1.0 ohm and above: designed for thinner, higher-nicotine liquids. They can struggle with a thick 70VG shortfill, because the small ports and low power do not wick thick liquid quickly enough.

Priming and breaking in a coil

Always prime a new coil. Drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton through the coil ports, then fill the tank and wait five to ten minutes before you press fire. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt first tank. Start at the low end of the coil's printed wattage range and work up in small steps until the flavour is full but not hot.

How long a coil lasts

Sweet and cooling liquids tend to be slightly harder on coils than unsweetened ones, because the sugars and additives leave a little residue. Expect a typical mesh coil to last somewhere between one and three weeks of regular use, depending on wattage and how often you vape. When Frost Bite starts to taste flat or faintly burnt even with a fresh tank, change the coil before assuming anything is wrong with the bottle.

Nicotine strength guidance

Choosing the right strength is more about your current nicotine habits and your device than about the flavour. Because this is a shortfill, you control the strength yourself, and the options are limited to three: 0mg, about 1.6mg or 3mg per ml. That narrow range is a feature, not a limitation, because it is aimed at sub-ohm and mid-power vaping, where larger volumes of vapour mean you take in more nicotine with each draw.

Choosing between the three strengths

• 0mg (no shots): for people who do not use nicotine, or for vapers who want to enjoy the flavour with none at all.
• About 1.6mg (one 18mg shot): a light strength for vapers who used to smoke lightly, or those stepping down from a higher strength on a sub-ohm device.
• 3mg (two 18mg shots): a medium strength for vapers who want a noticeable nicotine hit from a low-power or mid-power device. This is the highest strength a 100ml shortfill can reach.

Why higher power means lower strength

The more power you use and the more vapour you produce, the less nicotine you need per millilitre. A person vaping at 60W on a sub-ohm tank will usually be comfortable at 0mg to 1.6mg, because each draw delivers a lot of liquid. The same person on a pod kit at 15W takes in far less per draw and might want 3mg, or even a higher strength than a shortfill can provide.

When a shortfill is not the right tool

If you need more than 3mg, a ready-mixed 10ml nicotine salt or freebase e-liquid is the right product. UK law caps nicotine strength at 20mg/ml for all e-liquids and for refillable pods and disposables alike, so strengths such as 10mg and 20mg are available in salts. These are designed for tight, low-power pod devices and are not interchangeable with a high-VG shortfill. Putting a high-strength liquid into a sub-ohm tank at 60W would deliver far more nicotine per draw than most people want.

How the cooling interacts with strength

Ice flavours and nicotine both create a sensation in the throat, and the two add together. If you pick a strength you are used to in a non-ice liquid, expect Frost Bite to feel a little harder on the throat. Many vapers drop one step in strength when they switch to a strongly cooling liquid for exactly this reason.

A sensible way to choose

Start at the lowest strength that feels satisfying, because it is easy to add a shot later but impossible to take nicotine out. If you notice dizziness, nausea or a racing heartbeat, you have probably taken in more than you wanted and should stop, drink water and use a lower strength next time. Nicotine is addictive, and no one who does not already use it should start.

Who Yeti Frost Bite is for, and who should look elsewhere

Frost Bite is a focused product with a clear audience. Understanding where it fits will save you money and frustration.

It is a good fit if you:

• Already own a sub-ohm tank or a mesh-coil refillable kit and want a flavour that suits it.
• Prefer cold, crisp flavours over sweet desserts, creamy custards or tobacco blends.
• Want an affordable way to vape in volume, because a 100ml bottle costs far less per millilitre than small nicotine salt bottles.
• Like to control your own nicotine strength and are comfortable adding shots.
• Are an adult smoker moving to vaping and want a flavour that is clearly different from tobacco.

You should look elsewhere if you:

• Use a tight, high-resistance pod kit or a closed pod system, where a thick shortfill is likely to wick badly and a nicotine salt is the designed fit.
• Need a nicotine strength above 3mg, in which case a 10ml nicotine salt or freebase bottle is required.
• Dislike cooling flavours. If a menthol sweet leaves you cold, Frost Bite will too, and a line without ice such as Yeti No Ice would suit you better.
• Want a throwaway device with no setup. Single-use disposable vapes are no longer sold in the UK, so the realistic alternatives are prefilled pod kits or a simple refillable starter kit.
• Are under 18, or do not currently use nicotine and would be tempted to add shots. Vaping is for adults who already use nicotine.

Experience level

Shortfills take a few minutes of setup, but there is nothing difficult about them. If you have never mixed a bottle before, the step-by-step section below covers it from start to finish. The one thing that does trip up newcomers is device compatibility, so check that your coil is rated for high-VG liquid before you buy.

Is it a good first vape?

It can be, provided you have a suitable kit and are happy with a cooling profile. A beginner on a simple mesh pod kit at 0mg or a single shot would find it approachable. A beginner with a tight 1.0 ohm pod would be better off with a liquid designed for it.

How to use Yeti Frost Bite step by step

Getting a clean, consistent mix takes a couple of minutes. Follow these steps the first time and it will quickly become routine.

• Step 1, check the seal. Make sure the tamper ring is intact and the bottle is clean and dry. Wash your hands before handling the bottle and your device.
• Step 2, decide your strength. Choose 0mg, one shot or two, using the strength guidance above. If you are adding shots, open the shot bottles and the shortfill bottle on a flat, dry surface.
• Step 3, add the nicotine shots. Remove the shortfill cap, or the nozzle if it lifts out, and pour in each 10ml shot slowly, squeezing the shot bottle to empty it fully. Do not overfill the bottle.
• Step 4, replace the cap and shake. Close the bottle firmly and shake hard for at least thirty seconds, turning it end over end, so the nicotine mixes through evenly.
• Step 5, let it rest. If you can, leave the bottle upright for a few hours or overnight. The mix settles and the flavour tends to come together, as with most freshly blended liquids.
• Step 6, prepare your tank. Fit a fresh mesh coil, prime it with a few drops of liquid and fill the tank to just below the maximum line. Wait five to ten minutes for the cotton to soak.
• Step 7, start low. Set your device to the lower end of the coil's wattage range, take a few gentle draws and increase in small steps until the flavour is full but comfortable.
• Step 8, keep it topped up. Never let the tank run completely dry, as this scorches the cotton and ruins the coil. Refill when the liquid drops to about a third.
• Step 9, store sensibly. Close the bottle tightly, keep it upright in a cool dark place, and shake it again before each refill.

A few practical habits

Label any bottle you have added shots to with the date and the strength, because a mixed bottle looks identical to a nicotine-free one. Keep nicotine shots and mixed bottles somewhere children cannot reach. Wipe the outside of the tank and the bottle nozzle after filling, since spilled e-liquid can leave sticky residue on a device and on your hands.

When the bottle is empty, close the cap and dispose of it according to your local plastic recycling rules, and take dead vape devices and batteries to a proper drop-off point, as described in the battery section.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with shortfills come down to coil, wicking or mixing rather than the liquid itself. Work through these in order before deciding anything is wrong with the bottle.

The flavour tastes weak or muted

• The coil may be worn. Replace it, as this is the most frequent cause by a wide margin.
• The cooling may have numbed your palate. Take a break, drink some water and try again.
• Your wattage may be too low for the coil. Raise it in small steps within the printed range.

Burnt or harsh taste

• The coil was not primed or the tank ran low. Replace the coil and prime the next one properly.
• The wattage is too high for the liquid. Drop it by a few watts.
• Chain vaping without a pause lets the cotton dry out. Give each draw a few seconds' rest.

Gurgling, spitting or leaking

• Overfilling the tank or flooding the coil causes gurgling. Pour the liquid down the side of the tank, and keep the level below the maximum mark.
• Leaks usually come from worn seals or a poorly seated coil. Check the O-rings and screw the tank together firmly, without over-tightening.
• Changes in temperature or pressure, such as flying or leaving a full tank in a hot car, can push liquid out. Empty the tank before travel.

Weak vapour and slow wicking

• A 70VG liquid can be too thick for a tight, high-resistance coil. Move to a sub-ohm mesh coil, or one specified for high-VG liquid.
• Check that the airflow is not too wide for the power you are using, because open airflow can cool the coil and reduce vapour.
• Let a new coil soak for the full ten minutes before use.

Too much throat hit or cooling

• Reduce the nicotine by using fewer shots next time, or move to 0mg.
• Lower the wattage so the vapour is cooler and the cooling is less intense.
• If the chill is simply too much for you, consider a non-ice line from the same brand.

Bottle problems

• If the tamper seal was broken, or the bottle arrived leaking or damaged, contact customer service with your order number and a photo before using it.
• If liquid appears cloudy or separated, shake it hard and let it settle for a few hours. Persistent separation or an odd smell is a reason to stop and contact us.

If you try these steps and still have trouble, a different device or coil will often solve it, since mismatched kit is behind most complaints about high-VG shortfills.

Value for money and how it compares

Price per millilitre is where shortfills make their case. A 100ml bottle in this segment commonly sits somewhere in the region of seven to ten pounds, and even after adding a pair of nicotine shots the cost per millilitre works out far below that of a 10ml nicotine salt bottle. A 10ml salt at around £2.70 to £2.90 is roughly 27 to 29p per millilitre, while a shortfilled 120ml bottle usually lands well under 10p per millilitre. The trade-off is the setup effort and the need for a compatible, sub-ohm style device.

Against disposables and prefilled pods

Single-use disposable vapes, which were capped at 20mg/ml nicotine and 2ml of liquid, can no longer be sold in the UK since the ban that took effect on 1 June 2025. Prefilled pod kits remain on sale and offer convenience, but the cost per millilitre is higher and you are tied to one flavour per pod. A refillable kit paired with a shortfill costs more upfront for the device but is cheaper to run and produces less electrical waste over time.

Against other Yeti lines

• Yeti Original range: Frost Bite sits alongside fruit-led flavours such as Banana Ice, Blue Raspberry, Blue Razz Cherry Ice, Cherry and Blueberry Peach. If you want fruit with a light chill, those suit you better; if you want the cold to lead, Frost Bite does.
• Yeti No Ice: the same idea without cooling, for vapers who find ice flavours too sharp.
• Yeti Ice Cold, Blizzard and Summit Series: alternative lines that lean in different directions on cooling and sweetness. Compare the flavour descriptions on each page rather than assuming they match Frost Bite.

Against other brands

Ice-focused shortfills are a crowded space, and the honest comparison is that most of them are close in price and in the way they perform. Dr Frost Arctic Edition and Ice Blast are two other ranges in the same area, and they are worth trying if you like the idea of a cold flavour but want a different taste underneath. Where Yeti stands out is the breadth of the range: if one flavour does not suit you, there is a good chance another line from the same maker will. Where it does not stand out is bottle size or nicotine range, which are fixed by the shortfill format and are the same for competing products.

Value buying tips

• Buy nicotine shots at the same time as the shortfill so you are not caught short.
• Check the multibuy offers on the product page, as buying two or more bottles often reduces the unit price.
• Replace coils on schedule. A cheap coil is false economy if it makes a good liquid taste poor.

For an adult vaper with a suitable device who likes cold flavours, Frost Bite offers a sensible mix of price, volume and flexibility. For someone with the wrong device or a dislike of ice flavours, no amount of discount will make it good value.
