Overview of Yeti Original Sour Raspberry Watermelon Ice 100ml

Yeti Original 100ml Sour Raspberry Watermelon Ice is a chilled fruit shortfill e-liquid built around three ideas: a sharp, sour raspberry opening, a juicy watermelon centre and a cooling finish on the exhale. It ships as 100ml of nicotine-free liquid in a 120ml bottle, which leaves room for up to two 10ml nicotine shots if you want to add strength. It is sold here as an e-liquid rather than a device, so everything in this guide is about the juice itself and the kit you pair it with.

The key facts at a glance:

• Brand and range: Yeti, Original range
• Format: 100ml shortfill in a 120ml bottle
• Base strength: 0mg/ml nicotine as supplied
• Mixed strength: roughly 3mg/ml with two 10ml 18mg shots, or about 1.6mg/ml with a single shot
• Base ratio: a high-VG blend, commonly around 70VG/30PG in this style of shortfill (confirm against the label on your bottle)
• Flavour family: sour fruit with an ice finish
• Best suited to: sub-ohm tanks, higher-wattage pod systems and refillable mesh coil kits

It is a straightforward product, and that is a point in its favour. There is no complicated blend of eight different fruits to untangle, just a clear three-part profile that is easy to understand and easy to judge for yourself. The sections below cover how it tastes, how many puffs to expect, which coils suit it, how to mix and use it, what to do when something goes wrong, and where it sits against other options on the UK market. Where we give figures such as puff estimates or resistance ranges, they are working guidance based on how this style of liquid behaves in common devices, not manufacturer guarantees.

As with all nicotine products, this is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers who want an alternative to cigarettes. If you do not smoke or vape, there is no benefit in starting, and the 0mg base is the only sensible choice for anyone who wants the flavour without nicotine.

Flavour profile: sour raspberry, watermelon and ice

The headline note is sour raspberry. Expect a tart, slightly candy-like raspberry that leads on the inhale rather than a soft, jammy berry. The sourness is the kind you get from a sour sweet: it tingles at the front and sides of the tongue, then fades quickly instead of lingering. Watermelon sits underneath, adding a rounded, juicy sweetness that takes the edge off the tartness. The ice element arrives mostly on the exhale and through the nose, giving a clean, cool finish rather than a harsh menthol blast.

How the three parts layer up in a typical session:

• Inhale: sharp raspberry first, with watermelon sweetness building within about a second
• Exhale: a cooling sensation across the palate and nasal passages, with the watermelon staying on the tongue
• Aftertaste: light and slightly sweet, with a faint sour tang that clears quickly

Sour e-liquids divide opinion. Some vapers love the zing; others find it wearing after a long session because the acidity can leave the tongue feeling slightly raw. If you have not tried a sour profile before, vape it in shorter sessions for the first day and see how your palate responds. The ice component helps here, because cooling tends to soften the perception of tartness, and it is one reason sour-and-ice combinations are common in UK fruit ranges.

Sweetness sits at a moderate level. Watermelon e-liquids are often over-sweetened, but this one leans on the sour raspberry as a counterweight, which keeps the overall effect closer to refreshing than syrupy. If you are used to dessert, custard or tobacco profiles, this will taste lighter and brighter. If you normally vape sweet bubblegum or candy blends, it will taste crisp by comparison. It is not a creamy or bakery-style flavour, and it does not try to be.

Flavour intensity depends heavily on your setup. On a mesh coil at moderate wattage, both the raspberry and the watermelon are clearly readable. Push the power too high and the cooling and sourness dominate while the watermelon gets washed out; turn it down and the sweetness becomes more prominent. A middle setting, within the wattage range printed on your coil, shows the intended balance best. As with any flavour description, the notes above are a guide rather than a promise, because taste is personal and varies with your device, coil age and nicotine level. Add a nicotine shot and you may notice the sourness reads slightly sharper, since nicotine adds its own bite to the throat.

Performance and puff delivery from a 100ml bottle

A shortfill has no fixed puff count in the way a disposable does, so the useful question is how many puffs you can reasonably expect from 100ml. The honest answer is a wide range, because it depends on your device, your wattage and how you inhale. As a working estimate, the bottle breaks down like this:

• Sub-ohm tank, 40 to 70W, direct-to-lung: roughly 40 to 80 puffs per ml, so about 4,000 to 8,000 puffs from the full 100ml
• Refillable pod or mesh-pod, 15 to 30W, restricted draw: roughly 100 to 150 puffs per ml, so about 10,000 to 15,000 puffs
• Low-power mouth-to-lung tank, 10 to 15W: at the top of that range, or a little beyond

For day-to-day planning, think in millilitres per day. A light vaper on a pod system may get through 1 to 2ml a day, which makes a 100ml bottle last a month or two. A heavy sub-ohm user can reach 5 to 10ml a day, in which case the bottle lasts one to three weeks. Those figures are estimates, but they give you a realistic basis for working out your own cost and reorder timing.

Vapour production comes from the VG content. A high-VG blend produces dense clouds on a sub-ohm setup, and at 0mg there is very little throat hit to compete with the flavour. Add a 3mg nicotine mix and you get a gentle, smooth throat hit that suits direct-to-lung inhaling. The ice component can create a sensation some people mistake for throat hit; it is actually cooling on the mouth and airway, not the catch you get from higher nicotine strengths.

Consistency across the bottle is one area where a shortfill beats a disposable. There is no fade-out as a battery drains or a cotton pad dries, so the flavour on the last millilitre should match the first, provided your coil is fresh. Performance drops when a coil is worn or flooded, not because the liquid has changed.

One practical point: thicker high-VG liquid wicks more slowly than thin 50/50 juice. If you use a coil with small wicking holes, you may get dry hits at high power. Choose a coil rated for high-VG liquid, and keep the wattage inside the coil's recommended range. Take a few seconds between puffs, particularly on mesh coils, so the cotton can re-saturate.

Bottle design, packaging and build quality

With e-liquid, build quality means the bottle, the cap and the label, since there is no hardware in the box. The 120ml bottle holding the 100ml of liquid is the standard UK shortfill design: a soft, squeezable plastic body with a narrow nozzle tip. The nozzle is there so you can fill tanks and pods cleanly, and the empty headspace above the liquid is what leaves room for nicotine shots.

Things to check when your order arrives:

• Tamper-evident seal: the cap should have an intact seal or ring that breaks when first opened
• Child-resistant cap: UK shortfill bottles generally use a push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn cap, and you should keep it fully closed whenever the bottle is not in use
• Label information: the flavour name, nicotine content (0mg here), VG/PG ratio, batch number, best-before date and the required health warnings should all be legible
• Bottle condition: no cracks, leaks or sticky residue around the cap or nozzle

The soft plastic is practical but not indestructible. A bottle knocked hard in a bag can split at the seam or loosen at the nozzle, so carry it upright and, if you are travelling, put it in a sealable bag. Squeezing too hard when filling can force liquid out quickly, and sour fruit liquids are sticky if they spill on a tank or device. Wipe up any drips straight away, because sugars and sweeteners left on surfaces attract dust.

The nozzle tip fits most standard tank fill ports. If you use a narrow-fill pod, you may need a thin-tip bottle or a blunt-tip syringe. This is a common limitation with 120ml shortfill bottles and not specific to this product. Do not force a nozzle into a small fill port, as that can damage the seal.

On the environmental side, an empty shortfill bottle is a piece of plastic packaging, not an electrical item. Rinse it if your local council guidance asks for that, remove the nozzle and cap, and place it in the plastics recycling bin if your council accepts it. If you are unsure, check your council's website for the current rules, as they differ across the UK. Do not pour leftover liquid down a drain; seal it, label it and store it away from children and pets until you can dispose of it responsibly.

Battery and charging: choosing the right device for this liquid

The liquid itself has no battery, so there is nothing to charge in the bottle. What matters is the battery in the device you pair it with, because a high-VG shortfill generally asks more of a battery than thin nicotine salt juice does. Here is a practical way to think about it:

• Pod and mesh-pod kits (about 500 to 1,500mAh): suitable for lower-wattage use. Expect to charge daily with moderate use. These are the usual choice for restricted-draw vaping at 12 to 30W.
• Slim pen-style sub-ohm kits (about 1,000 to 2,000mAh): manageable for 25 to 40W, but heavy use will need a top-up during the day.
• Box mods with removable 18650 or 21700 cells (about 2,500 to 5,000mAh per cell): the better match for 50 to 80W sub-ohm use, with the option of carrying a spare cell.

Charging habits matter more than most people realise. Use the cable supplied with your device, or a reputable USB-C cable, and a standard wall adapter rather than an unbranded high-output one. Do not leave a device charging overnight or unattended, do not charge it on a bed or sofa, and do not use it while it is plugged in. If you use removable cells, keep them in a protective case when carrying them, never loose in a pocket with keys or coins, and use a charger designed for lithium-ion cells.

Warning signs to act on straight away include a battery that swells, a device that becomes very hot while charging, a hissing sound or a chemical smell. Stop using it, unplug it and move it somewhere non-flammable such as a stone or tiled surface, away from anything that could burn.

When a device or cell reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the household bin or kerbside recycling. Lithium batteries can ignite in refuse vehicles and waste sites. In the UK, shops that sell vaping devices are generally expected to take back old devices and batteries for recycling, and household waste recycling centres run small electricals and battery collection points. Most supermarkets and electrical retailers also have battery drop-off bins near the entrance. Your local council website will list the nearest vape-recycling drop-off point. Making that trip is a small effort that cuts fire risk and keeps valuable materials in use.

Coil and mesh technology: what works best with this e-liquid

Because Sour Raspberry Watermelon Ice is a high-VG shortfill, the coil you choose has a big influence on flavour and reliability. In broad terms there are three setups that work well:

• Mesh coils at 0.15 to 0.3 ohm, 40 to 70W: the most popular choice for sub-ohm tanks. Mesh has a large surface area, which heats quickly and evenly, and it shows both the raspberry and the watermelon clearly. Mesh also copes well with thicker liquid thanks to wider wicking channels.
• Standard sub-ohm coils at 0.4 to 0.6 ohm, 25 to 40W: a slightly gentler option that uses less liquid and battery. It suits vapers who want a looser draw without the full cloud output.
• Higher-resistance coils at 0.8 to 1.0 ohm, 12 to 25W: appropriate for refillable pods and restricted-draw tanks. High-VG liquid can be borderline here, so look for a coil that lists high-VG compatibility, and keep the wattage towards the lower end.

Whichever coil you pick, follow the wattage range printed on it. Running a coil below its range gives cold, muted flavour; running it above its range burns the cotton, gives a harsh taste and shortens coil life. When you fit a new coil, put a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton through the wicking ports, fill the tank, and then wait 5 to 10 minutes before the first puff. This priming step prevents dry hits and early burnt coils, and skipping it is the most common reason new coils fail.

Coil life depends on liquid ingredients as well as usage. Sweet and sour liquids contain flavourings and sweeteners that can leave residue on the coil, a build-up often called gunk. With a fruit liquid like this one, expect a coil to last roughly one to three weeks, depending on your wattage and how heavily you vape. On a 100ml bottle used at a moderate pace, that means somewhere around three to six coils over the life of the liquid, so factor that into your budget. Signs that a coil is ending include a dull or burnt taste, a drop in vapour, a gurgling sound or a darkened, crusted look when you remove it.

Cleaning helps too. Rinse the tank in warm water when you change coils, dry it thoroughly, and avoid mixing different flavours without flushing the tank. Old residue from a previous liquid can muddy a sour-and-ice profile quickly.

Nicotine strength guidance and the UK 20mg limit

This bottle contains 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml container, so you choose the final strength by adding nicotine shots. Shots are sold separately in 10ml bottles. The arithmetic is straightforward:

• No shot (0mg/ml): 100ml of nicotine-free liquid, for vapers who do not want nicotine
• One 10ml 18mg shot: 110ml at about 1.6mg/ml, a very light strength
• Two 10ml 18mg shots: 120ml at 3mg/ml, the usual choice for sub-ohm vaping
• Two 10ml 20mg nicotine salt shots: 120ml at about 3.3mg/ml, with a smoother throat feel than freebase nicotine

A 120ml bottle limits you to two shots when starting from 100ml. If you need 6mg or above, a 100ml shortfill is the wrong format; a 10ml nicotine salt or higher-strength freebase liquid will serve you better. Pouring liquid out of the bottle to make room for a third shot is possible, but it reduces your volume and makes the maths more fiddly, so most people would rather choose a different product.

As a general guide, ex-smokers moving to sub-ohm vaping often find 3mg comfortable, while light smokers or those with a low nicotine requirement may prefer 0 to 1.5mg. Heavier smokers who find 3mg unsatisfying should consider a mouth-to-lung setup with a higher-strength 10ml liquid, rather than trying to force more nicotine into a high-power sub-ohm device. Higher nicotine at high wattage delivers a lot of nicotine very quickly and can cause nausea, dizziness and a harsh throat hit.

On the legal side, UK rules cap nicotine in e-liquids at 20mg/ml and limit refill bottles containing nicotine to 10ml, which is why 100ml shortfills are sold at 0mg and nicotine is supplied as separate 10ml shots. The same 20mg/ml ceiling applied to disposable vapes while they were on sale; single-use vapes have been banned in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, so refillable systems like the ones this liquid is designed for are now the main route for adult vapers who want a convenient option. Tanks are limited to 2ml capacity in the UK for nicotine-containing products, which is another reason pods and tanks are designed for frequent refilling.

If you are unsure what to pick, start low. It is easy to add more nicotine next time, and much harder to undo too much. If you feel dizzy, sweaty or sick after vaping, stop, drink some water and consider lowering your strength.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should skip it

Sour Raspberry Watermelon Ice suits a fairly specific set of vapers, and it helps to be honest about who will enjoy it and who will not.

It is likely to suit:

• Fruit and ice fans who already enjoy cooling fruit flavours and want something with a little more bite than a plain watermelon or raspberry
• Sub-ohm and mesh coil users who want a large bottle that is cost-efficient per millilitre
• Adult smokers who have switched and want a lighter, fresher flavour than tobacco or heavy dessert blends
• Vapers who like to control their own nicotine level and are happy to mix a shortfill with shots
• Anyone wanting a 0mg option for flavour without nicotine

You may want to skip it if:

• You dislike sour tastes. The tartness is built into the flavour name and cannot be dialled out, though lowering the wattage reduces it a little.
• You use a very low-power pod system that is designed for thin, high-nicotine salt liquid. High-VG shortfill may wick poorly and cause dry hits.
• You need high nicotine strength. A 100ml shortfill tops out at roughly 3mg/ml once mixed.
• You want a no-effort solution. If you do not want to measure, mix, refill and replace coils, a pre-filled pod system is simpler.
• You are a non-smoker or under 18. Nicotine products are not for you, and it is illegal in the UK to sell them to anyone under 18.
• You are pregnant, or have a heart condition, and have not discussed vaping with a health professional first.

If you are moving away from cigarettes, UK stop-smoking services and NHS guidance can help you build a plan around vaping, and many local services offer free support. A flavour you enjoy is a genuine help in staying off cigarettes, but it works best as part of a plan to reduce nicotine over time.

How to mix, fill and use it

Using a shortfill properly takes a few minutes the first time, then becomes routine. Follow these steps:

• 1. Wash and dry your hands, and work on a clean, dry surface in case of drips.
• 2. Open the shortfill bottle by breaking the tamper-evident seal and removing the cap, following the child-resistant instructions on the cap.
• 3. Add your nicotine shot(s). Unscrew the shot bottle, then squeeze or pour its contents into the shortfill bottle. Do not exceed the bottle's 120ml capacity.
• 4. Close the bottle tightly and shake it well for 30 to 60 seconds, so the nicotine spreads evenly through the thick liquid.
• 5. Let it rest. A short rest of a few hours, or overnight, lets bubbles settle and the flavours blend. Fruit and ice liquids do not need long steeping, but a short wait gives a smoother result.
• 6. Fill your tank or pod up to the maximum fill line, avoiding the central air tube, and let a fresh coil soak for 5 to 10 minutes before vaping.

When you vape, take slow, steady puffs rather than short, sharp ones. For sub-ohm devices, a lungful inhale of 3 to 5 seconds with a pause of around 20 to 30 seconds between puffs keeps the coil from overheating. On a mouth-to-lung device, draw gently into your mouth first, then inhale.

Storage matters for flavour and safety. Keep the bottle upright, capped, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and radiators. Heat and light degrade flavour and darken the liquid over time. Store it well out of reach of children and pets: nicotine is toxic if swallowed and can be absorbed through the skin, so wipe up any spills at once and wash your hands afterward. If liquid contacts your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it is swallowed or gets in your eyes, seek medical advice straight away.

Once mixed with nicotine, use the liquid within a reasonable period, typically a few months, and always check the best-before date on the label. Do not mix different brands of shots or flavours into the bottle, as that makes the result unpredictable.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a shortfill come down to the coil, the fill, or the settings. These are the usual causes and fixes:

• Dry or burnt hits. Usually a coil that has not been primed, a coil that is worn, or wattage set too high. Re-prime with a few drops on the cotton, wait 10 minutes, lower the wattage, and replace the coil if the burnt taste persists.
• Weak or muted flavour. Often a tired coil, or a tank filled with a previous flavour. Rinse and dry the tank, fit a new coil, and check you are running within the coil's wattage range.
• Gurgling or spitting. The coil may be flooded because the airflow is too tight, or the tank was overfilled. Open the airflow slightly, wipe the mouthpiece, and avoid filling above the maximum line.
• Leaking from the tank or pod. Check the coil is screwed in properly, the seals are seated, and the fill port is shut. Thicker high-VG liquid can leak if the device is stored on its side or if pressure changes on a flight. Keep the device upright and, when flying, empty the tank first.
• Too sour or sharp. Lower the wattage a little, try a looser draw, or add a second nicotine shot only if you want higher strength; do not use nicotine to mask sourness. Taking a break between sessions also helps.
• Tongue feels sore. Sour liquids can irritate the mouth. Drink water, vape less often for a day or two, and consider a different flavour if the irritation persists.
• Throat hit too harsh. This is generally a nicotine strength issue, not a flavour fault. Reduce nicotine by using one shot, or none.
• Vapour smells chemical or tastes metallic. Stop using the coil, check for residue, and replace it. If a bottle smells off, shows separation or has an unusual colour change, do not use it and contact the seller.

If you have tried these fixes and the liquid still tastes wrong, check the batch number and best-before date on the label, then get in touch with the shop with the details and a photo. For a damaged or leaking bottle on arrival, keep the packaging and contact us promptly. We cannot offer medical advice, but if you feel unwell after vaping, stop and seek advice from a pharmacist, GP or NHS 111.

Value for money: working out the real cost

The cheapest way to judge a shortfill is to work out the price per millilitre and add the extras you will need to use it. Here is a simple method you can use with the current price on the product page:

• Liquid cost: divide the bottle price by 100 to get the price per ml
• Nicotine cost: if you are mixing to 3mg/ml, add the price of two 10ml shots, then divide the combined total by 120
• Coil cost: estimate three to six coils over the life of a 100ml bottle at a moderate pace, and add that cost

Done honestly, this usually shows that a 100ml shortfill costs noticeably less per millilitre than 10ml nicotine salt bottles, even after you have paid for shots and coils. The saving grows if you vape a lot, since you buy fewer bottles, pay for less packaging and make fewer orders. If you only vape lightly or occasionally, a smaller bottle might be wiser, since a large bottle needs to be used up within a reasonable time after mixing.

Where the value argument weakens is on convenience. A shortfill needs a refillable device, spare coils, shots and a little time to prepare. If you are only buying liquid once in a while and do not want the ongoing coil spend, a pre-filled pod system may cost more per puff but needs less attention. Likewise, if you change flavours often, a 100ml bottle commits you to one flavour for weeks, and an unused half-bottle is wasted money.

Compare against disposables in particular. With single-use vapes no longer on sale in Great Britain, refillables have become the main alternative, and a 100ml bottle can last for the equivalent of dozens of disposables at a fraction of the cost. It also produces far less electronic waste, since you reuse one device and recycle only the coils and bottle.

Check the product page for current pricing and any multibuy offers, and look at delivery costs and free-delivery thresholds at checkout. Buying two flavours together can sometimes tip an order over the threshold, which cuts the per-bottle cost. Always check the best-before date on delivery, because a long date means you can take your time using the bottle.

How it compares with other options

No e-liquid suits everybody, so here is a fair look at how Yeti Original Sour Raspberry Watermelon Ice compares with the alternatives most UK vapers consider.

• Versus other 100ml fruit shortfills: Ranges such as Doozy Vape Co, Pukka Juice and IVG offer similar formats, with 100ml in a 120ml bottle and room for nicotine shots. Many of them sell raspberry, watermelon and ice combinations as well. The practical differences are usually flavour balance, sweetness level and price. This one leans sour and cool rather than sweet and heavy. If you prefer a sweeter, candy-forward profile, another range might suit you better, and if you like tang, this is a sensible one to try.
• Versus 10ml nicotine salt liquids: Salts are better for low-power pod kits and higher nicotine strengths, with a smoother throat feel. They cost more per millilitre and are not designed for big clouds. A shortfill is cheaper per ml and gives more vapour, but tops out at about 3mg/ml mixed.
• Versus pre-filled pods: Pre-filled pods are simpler and mess-free, but you are locked into one device and flavour range, and you pay more per millilitre. A shortfill offers more freedom and lower running costs but takes more effort.
• Versus the now-banned disposables: Disposables were convenient but wasteful, with batteries thrown away after a few hundred puffs. A refillable setup with a bottle like this is more economical and easier to recycle responsibly, but it takes some learning.
• Versus other flavours in the Yeti Original range: If you find the sourness too much, a plainer fruit and ice flavour from the same range is the natural step. If you like it, adjacent fruit-and-ice flavours in the range offer variety without leaving a brand you already know.

Fair criticisms are worth stating. Sour profiles are not for everyone, a 120ml bottle limits nicotine to about 3.3mg/ml, and high-VG liquid is a poor match for the smallest pod kits. There is also no way to judge flavour before buying, so if you are cautious, buy it as your single trial bottle rather than stocking several. Within its category, it is a reasonable option for adult vapers who like sour fruit, and honest about what it is.

Whatever you choose, buy from a retailer that checks age on delivery and lists batch and best-before details, and keep your old devices and batteries for proper recycling rather than the household bin.
