Overview of Yeti Original 100ml Watermelon

Yeti Original 100ml Watermelon is a nicotine-free shortfill e-liquid designed for vapers who use refillable tanks and sub-ohm kits. It is supplied as 100ml of flavoured liquid inside a 120ml bottle, which leaves 20ml of empty space so you can add nicotine shots if you want nicotine, or leave the bottle exactly as it comes for a 0mg vape. The flavour is watermelon, and it belongs to the Yeti Original line, a range that concentrates on simple, easy-to-read fruit flavours rather than layered dessert or tobacco blends.

This page is a practical guide rather than a sales pitch. It explains what is in the bottle, how it behaves in different devices, how to work out nicotine strength when mixing, what to do when something goes wrong, and where it sits on price compared with other 100ml ranges. If you are new to shortfills, the sections on mixing and troubleshooting are worth reading before your first fill.

• What it is: a 100ml shortfill e-liquid, not a device. There is no battery, coil or charging port in the box.
• What it is for: refillable sub-ohm tanks, mesh-coil tanks and similar direct-to-lung hardware.
• What it tastes like: a sweet, juicy watermelon with a confectionery edge.
• Nicotine: 0mg as supplied, with room to add up to two 10ml shots.

A few UK points of context are useful here. Nicotine-containing vape liquids and pods sold in the UK are capped at 20mg/ml, and that same 20mg cap applied to disposables before single-use vapes were banned from sale in Great Britain on 1 June 2025. Because disposables are no longer an option on the high street, refillable systems with bottled liquid have become the main route for adults who vape. A 100ml shortfill is one of the more economical ways to do that, provided your device suits a thicker, high-VG liquid.

Vaping is intended for adult smokers who want an alternative to tobacco. If you do not smoke, you do not need to vape, and nobody under 18 can legally buy this product in the UK.

Specifications at a glance

The figures below describe the product as listed and as typically supplied. Batches can change slightly, so the label on the bottle in your hand is always the final reference for VG/PG ratio, ingredients and the shelf-life date.

• Product type: shortfill e-liquid. No battery, no coil and no hardware included.
• Liquid volume: 100ml of flavoured e-liquid in a 120ml bottle.
• Nicotine strength: 0mg/ml as supplied. There is space for two 10ml nicotine shots (20ml in total).
• VG/PG ratio: 70VG/30PG, a high-VG blend aimed at sub-ohm vaping.
• Flavour: Watermelon.
• Range: Yeti Original.
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks, mesh-coil tanks, RDTAs and rebuildable atomisers used at moderate to high power.
• Typical coil range: 0.15 to 0.4 ohm mesh or multi-core coils.
• Typical power range: roughly 35W to 70W, depending on the coil and tank.
• Estimated bottle life: about three to five weeks for a moderate user, based on 3 to 5ml per day.
• Minimum purchase age: 18.

It helps to understand what the ratio means. VG, or vegetable glycerine, is thick and produces dense vapour with a smooth, soft throat feel. PG, or propylene glycol, is thinner, carries flavour well and gives a sharper throat hit. A 70VG/30PG blend leans towards smoothness and vapour volume, which is why it is paired with sub-ohm coils that have large wicking openings. It is generally too thick for tight, high-resistance pod coils that were designed for thin 50/50 liquids or nicotine salts.

Shortfills exist because of the UK rules on nicotine-containing liquid. Bottles that contain nicotine are limited to 10ml, so a large bottle of nicotine liquid cannot be sold. A shortfill is sold at 0mg, which sidesteps that size limit, and the extra headroom in the bottle is there for you to add 10ml nicotine shots yourself if you want them. The nicotine shots themselves are sold in compliant 10ml bottles and are capped at 20mg/ml.

Flavour profile: what the watermelon actually tastes like

Watermelon is a harder flavour to capture in e-liquid than it first appears. Real watermelon is mostly water, with a light sweetness and a faint green, almost cucumber-like note that does not survive heating well. Because of that, most watermelon e-liquids lean towards the confectionery side of the flavour, closer to watermelon sweets than to a slice of the fruit. Yeti Original Watermelon follows that pattern, so it is worth setting expectations accordingly.

On the inhale, expect a juicy, sweet melon note with a rounded, slightly candied character. The 70VG base softens the delivery, so the flavour arrives smoothly rather than with a sharp edge. On the exhale, the sweetness lingers for a moment and then fades without a heavy aftertaste. It reads as a simple, single-fruit profile, with no obvious cream, custard or tobacco underneath.

• Inhale: sweet, juicy watermelon with a light sugary edge.
• Exhale: short-lived sweetness, mild fruit aftertaste.
• Cooling: little to none. This is not sold as an ice flavour, so do not expect a menthol blast.
• Sweetness: moderate to noticeable. Sweet fruit liquids tend to build coil residue faster than unsweetened ones.

If you like a chilled finish, you can add a few drops of a menthol or cooling additive to your own bottle, or look at an iced variant if the range lists one. Add cautiously, because a small amount of cooling agent goes a long way and cannot be removed once mixed.

Power settings change how the flavour comes across. At the lower end of your coil's recommended wattage, the watermelon tends to taste fuller and slightly cooler, with the sweetness more clearly defined. Pushed to the top of the range, the liquid heats up, the sweetness turns more sugary and the fruit note flattens. For most mesh coils, starting about 5W below the maximum printed on the coil is a sensible way to find the balance between vapour and taste.

Finally, keep palate fatigue in mind. Single-note fruit flavours can start to taste muted if you vape them continuously for days, a common effect sometimes called vaper's tongue. Rotating with a different flavour for a day, drinking water, and keeping your coil fresh usually brings the taste back.

Performance and vapour delivery

Performance with a shortfill comes down to three things working together: the liquid, the coil and the power you run it at. Yeti Original Watermelon is a 70VG/30PG liquid, so it produces dense, visible vapour and a soft throat feel, particularly in a sub-ohm tank with airflow set to open or semi-open. At 0mg there is very little throat hit, which many vapers find more comfortable for long, relaxed sessions. If you add nicotine, the throat hit increases gradually with strength, and 3mg/ml is usually enough to be noticeable in a high-power direct-to-lung setup.

Vapour production scales with wattage and airflow. On a typical 0.2 ohm mesh coil at around 50W, you can expect thick, steady clouds and a warm vape. Reducing power to the mid-40s keeps the vapour cooler and tends to improve flavour, while the airflow ring lets you trade density for taste. A tighter airflow gives more concentrated flavour, a more open airflow gives larger, cooler clouds.

• Vapour density: high, thanks to the 70% VG content.
• Throat hit: low at 0mg, mild at 3mg/ml.
• Wicking: adequate in sub-ohm coils with large wicking ports. It can struggle in small-holed coils.
• Warm-up behaviour: best after a five to ten minute prime so the cotton is fully saturated.

On longevity, a 100ml bottle lasts according to how you vape rather than any fixed puff count. As a rough guide, many sub-ohm users go through 3 to 5ml a day, which puts a full bottle at around 20 to 33 days. Expressed in puffs, a three-second pull at 50W uses a small fraction of a millilitre, so a 100ml bottle covers somewhere in the order of several thousand puffs. Treat that as an estimate, not a promise, because airflow, puff length and coil age all move the figure.

This liquid is not designed for mouth-to-lung vaping on very tight, high-resistance devices. The thicker 70VG body can wick slowly through narrow ports and may cause dry hits or gurgling in small pod kits. If your device normally uses 1.0 ohm or higher coils at low wattage, check the manufacturer's liquid recommendations before you commit to a full 100ml bottle.

Bottle design and build quality

Because this is a liquid, the build quality that matters is the bottle, cap and label. Yeti Original ships in a 120ml plastic bottle with a narrow-tip nozzle, which lets you fill tanks with small fill ports without drips. The plastic is soft enough to squeeze gently when pouring but firm enough to keep its shape on a shelf. A tamper-evident ring and a child-resistant cap are standard on UK e-liquid bottles, and you should expect both here.

The 120ml size is deliberate. The extra 20ml of space above the 100ml of flavoured liquid is where your nicotine shots go, so you do not need to decant into a second container. Marks on the label show the fill level, which helps you avoid over-pouring when you add shots.

• Nozzle: narrow tip for small fill ports, so you can fill without spillage.
• Cap: child-resistant with a tamper-evident ring.
• Label: ingredient list, nicotine content, health warning, batch code and shelf-life date, as required for UK sale.
• Material: flexible plastic, light enough to carry in a bag.

A couple of practical build points are worth knowing. First, check that the tamper ring is intact when the bottle arrives. If it is broken or the cap is loose, contact the retailer before opening it. Second, do not squeeze the bottle hard while pouring, since the tip can spurt and cover your fingers with liquid. Third, wipe the nozzle and cap after each use so sticky residue does not build up on the threads.

Store the bottle upright, away from direct sunlight and heat, with the cap tight. Sunlight and warmth can darken e-liquid and dull flavour over time. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, because even nicotine-free liquid is not safe to swallow, and nicotine shots are significantly more hazardous.

On disposal, the empty plastic bottle and nicotine shot bottles can generally go into household plastic recycling once they are empty, though local council rules differ, so check your own authority's guidance. Do not pour leftover liquid down a drain. Vape devices, batteries and coils are covered by separate electrical-waste rules and should go to a vape recycling drop-off point, covered in the battery section below.

Coil and mesh compatibility

Choosing the right coil matters more with a 70VG liquid than with a thinner one. High-VG e-liquid flows slowly, so the coil needs wide wicking openings and enough surface area to vaporise a thicker liquid without burning the cotton. This is the reason mesh and multi-core coils dominate the sub-ohm market.

For Yeti Original Watermelon, mesh coils in the 0.15 to 0.3 ohm range are a natural fit. These coils are made from a flat mesh screen rather than a round wire, which spreads heat evenly, improves flavour and handles thicker liquid well. Typical examples include coils in the Voopoo PnP family, the GeekVape Z and B series and Vaporesso GTX ranges, though you should always use the coils that are made for your specific tank.

• 0.15 to 0.2 ohm mesh: for 50W to 70W vaping with open airflow. Dense vapour, warmer vape.
• 0.2 to 0.3 ohm mesh: for 35W to 55W. A good balance of flavour and clouds, and a sensible starting point.
• 0.4 ohm and above: workable at lower power if the coil has large wicking holes, but the vapour will be less dense.
• Rebuildable atomisers: fine for experienced builders who can wick for high-VG liquid.

Sweet fruit flavours like watermelon tend to leave residue on coils faster than unsweetened liquids. Most mesh coils last between one and three weeks with this type of liquid, depending on power and how often you chain vape. Signs the coil is ending its life include a muted flavour, a burnt or sugary aftertaste, a gurgling sound and vapour that feels hotter than it should.

Prime every new coil. Drop a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank, wait five to ten minutes, and then take a few unpowered draws before firing. Start at the lower end of the printed wattage range for the first few puffs, then work up. Skipping this step is the most common reason a new coil tastes burnt.

If you use an all-in-one pod device with a fixed low-power coil, check whether it is rated for 70VG liquid. Some pod coils are specifically designed for high-VG, but many are tuned for 50/50 or nicotine salts and will wick poorly with a thicker blend.

Battery and charging considerations

The liquid itself has no battery and never needs charging, so this section is about the device you pair it with. The battery in your kit determines how long you can vape at the power this liquid prefers, and it is worth matching the two properly.

Sub-ohm vaping at 40 to 60W draws far more current than low-power pod vaping. Kits designed for this typically use either removable 18650 or 21700 cells, or an integrated battery between roughly 1,500mAh and 5,000mAh. As a rough calculation, a 3,000mAh battery at 3.7V stores about 11Wh of energy. At 50W, that gives around 13 to 15 minutes of total firing time before accounting for efficiency losses, which works out to roughly 250 to 300 three-second puffs per charge. Larger cells or dual-battery mods extend that proportionally.

• Single 18650 mod: suited to 30W to 50W, expect a few hours of use.
• Single 21700 mod: more capacity than an 18650, a comfortable choice for 40W to 60W.
• Dual-battery mod: better for 60W and above, and for heavy daily use.
• Integrated 2,000 to 4,000mAh kits: convenient, charged by USB-C.

Charging safely is not optional. Use the cable and charger supplied with your device, or a certified equivalent, and avoid cheap unbranded chargers. Do not leave a battery charging overnight on a soft surface, do not charge a device that is hot or damaged, and do not carry loose cells in a pocket with keys or coins. If a battery swells, leaks or smells strongly, stop using it and dispose of it properly.

Recycling matters here. Vapes, batteries and chargers are classed as waste electrical equipment, and they must never go in household bins or standard recycling. Retailers that sell vaping products are required to take back used items, and most household waste recycling centres have a small electricals bank for vapes. Many supermarkets and high-street shops also host battery drop-off points. Disposing of lithium cells in general waste has caused fires in bin lorries and recycling plants across the UK, so take the extra minute to use a proper drop-off point.

Nicotine strength guidance and mixing maths

Yeti Original 100ml Watermelon is supplied at 0mg, so the first decision is whether you want nicotine at all. Many vapers who have already moved away from cigarettes choose to taper nicotine down over time, and a shortfill makes that straightforward. You can start with shots and reduce them gradually, or run 0mg from the outset.

If you do want nicotine, the 120ml bottle limits how much you can add. The bottle has 20ml of free space, which is two standard 10ml nicotine shots. The arithmetic is simple: multiply the shot strength by the volume added and divide by the total volume of the finished liquid.

• No shots: 100ml at 0mg/ml.
• One 10ml shot at 18mg/ml: 110ml total, giving roughly 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg/ml: 120ml total, giving 3mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 20mg/ml: 120ml total, giving roughly 3.3mg/ml.

This means the highest strength you can reach in the bottle is about 3mg/ml, which suits direct-to-lung vaping at higher wattages. In a sub-ohm setup a larger volume of vapour is inhaled per puff, so a lower strength feels stronger than the same number would in a small mouth-to-lung device. Light smokers and people who already vape at 3mg/ml usually find it comfortable. Heavier ex-smokers who need more nicotine than that will likely be better served by a different product, such as a nicotine salt 10ml liquid used in a low-power pod device, rather than trying to force more shots into the bottle.

The UK limit on nicotine strength is 20mg/ml for any vaping liquid or pod, and it applied equally to disposables before they were banned. Do not exceed it, and be wary of any product claiming otherwise. Nicotine shots sold here comply with that cap.

Always shake the bottle thoroughly after adding shots, since nicotine mixes best when the liquid is fully blended. Label the bottle with the strength and date if you are mixing several at once. Nicotine is addictive and can be harmful at high doses, so keep shots and finished liquid away from children, and consider speaking to a stop smoking service if you are unsure how much you need.

How to use: filling, mixing and first vape

Using a shortfill is straightforward once you have done it once. Follow these steps in order and the whole process takes less than five minutes.

• Step 1: Wash your hands and clear a clean, dry surface. Check that the bottle's tamper ring is intact.
• Step 2: If adding nicotine, open the bottle and add your chosen nicotine shot or shots. Do not overfill; stop at the 120ml mark.
• Step 3: Close the cap firmly and shake the bottle for 20 to 30 seconds until the liquid looks uniform.
• Step 4: Let the mixed liquid rest for a few hours, or overnight if you can, to let the flavour settle. This is called steeping, and it is optional but often helpful.
• Step 5: Prime a fresh coil, fill your tank through the fill port, and leave the coil to soak for five to ten minutes.
• Step 6: Set the airflow to roughly half open, set your power at the lower end of the coil's range, and take a few gentle puffs.

Fill the tank to the maximum line only, and avoid covering the central air tube, which can cause flooding. Keep the tank upright while it is filling and screw the top cap down firmly afterwards. If your tank has a sliding or screw-in fill port, make sure it is fully closed before you vape, since a partially open port is a common cause of leaks.

On your first few puffs, take longer, slower draws rather than short sharp ones. This gives the cotton time to deliver liquid and avoids a dry hit. After a few minutes, increase power by 2 to 3W at a time until the flavour and warmth suit you. Many vapers settle in the middle of the printed wattage range.

Between fills, leave a little liquid in the tank rather than running it dry. A tank that runs empty is the most common reason a coil burns out early. Rinse the tank with warm water and dry it fully whenever you change flavours or coils, which keeps old taste from carrying over.

Remember the practical limits. Do not mix nicotine shots into a bottle you have already partially emptied without recalculating the total volume, and do not top up a bottle with a different flavour unless you are happy to experiment with the result.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a high-VG shortfill trace back to the coil, the airflow or the power setting rather than the liquid. These are the issues that come up most often and the usual fixes.

• Burnt taste: the coil is either new and unprimed, running dry, or at the end of its life. Prime properly, keep the tank above a quarter full, lower the wattage, and replace the coil if the taste persists.
• Weak or muted flavour: check the coil age first, then try lowering the power. Sweet liquids gum up coils, and a fresh coil often restores the taste. If you have vaped the same flavour for days, switch to something different for a day to reset your palate.
• Gurgling or spitting: condensation or flooding in the tank. Dab the airflow channel with a tissue, reduce airflow slightly, check the coil is seated, and make sure the tank was not overfilled.
• Leaking: check the seals and O-rings, make sure the tank is fully screwed together, and do not leave the device lying on its side. Leaks are common with a worn O-ring.
• Dry hits: the cotton is not saturated. Wait a few minutes after filling, take slower puffs, and avoid chain vaping on a coil that has not had time to rewick. Thick 70VG liquid wicks more slowly than thin liquid.
• Sticky bottle or tip: wipe with a damp cloth and leave the cap loose for a few minutes so the nozzle dries.
• Throat hit too harsh: if you have added shots, you may have overshot the strength. Dilute with unflavoured 0mg base or reduce shots next time.

If the liquid itself looks darker than when you bought it, that is usually harmless oxidation from light, heat or air and is more pronounced in liquids with nicotine added. It does not necessarily mean the liquid has gone off. If it smells sour, is separated or has an unpleasant taste, stop using it.

Should you experience unusual symptoms such as persistent coughing, dizziness or skin irritation after contact with the liquid, stop vaping and seek advice. Skin contact with nicotine liquid should be washed off promptly with soap and water, and any swallowing of liquid, particularly by a child or pet, needs urgent medical attention. In the UK, contact NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

Yeti Original 100ml Watermelon is a good fit for a fairly specific type of vaper. Knowing whether you belong in that group saves money and frustration.

It suits you if:

• You already own a sub-ohm tank or mesh-coil kit and want a high-VG liquid for it.
• You like straightforward fruit flavours that lean sweet rather than complex blends.
• You vape at 0mg or around 3mg/ml and are comfortable adding a shot yourself.
• You use a lot of liquid and want to buy in volume rather than in 10ml bottles.
• You are an adult smoker who has moved to vaping and wants a refillable system following the disposable ban.

You should look elsewhere if:

• You use a low-power mouth-to-lung pod kit. A 70VG liquid will wick poorly and may cause dry hits or leaks. A 50/50 or nicotine salt liquid is the better match.
• You need a nicotine strength above about 3mg/ml. The bottle cannot hold enough shots to reach 6mg/ml or more, so a nicotine salt 10ml range is more practical.
• You dislike sweet flavours or prefer cooling menthol and tobacco profiles.
• You have never vaped before and do not own any hardware. A shortfill is only a liquid, and you will need a device, coils and a charger.
• You do not smoke. Vaping is not recommended for non-smokers, and nicotine is addictive.

It is also not for anyone under 18, and it should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice, or by people with heart conditions or other medical issues unless a doctor has discussed it with them. If your goal is to quit smoking, your local NHS stop smoking service offers free support and can advise on how vaping fits into a quit plan.

One further consideration is household safety. A 100ml bottle is a large quantity of liquid. Store it out of sight and reach of children and pets, particularly once nicotine shots have been added, and never transfer it into drink bottles or unlabelled containers.

Value for money and how it compares

The simplest way to judge value on any e-liquid is cost per millilitre. A 100ml shortfill is normally priced noticeably lower per ml than 10ml bottles of the same strength, because you are buying more liquid in one go and there are no nicotine-bottle size restrictions. As an illustration only, a 100ml bottle priced at £10 works out to 10p per ml. Check the current price on the product page, then add the cost of the nicotine shots if you use them, to compare accurately with other options.

Where 100ml shortfills sit within the UK market varies. Yeti Original is generally positioned in the accessible price band, closer to everyday ranges than to premium craft liquids. That makes it a reasonable choice for high-volume vapers, but it also means you should not expect the layered, complex flavour of more expensive blends. It does a simple job with a clear flavour and a smooth vape.

• Against other mainstream 100ml ranges: brands such as Doozy Vape Co, IVG, Bar Juice 5000 and Vampire Vape also sell 100ml shortfills with a broad selection of fruit flavours. Comparing prices and checking the VG/PG ratio on each label is the fairest way to decide, since formulations differ between ranges.
• Against premium or craft ranges: brands such as Dinner Lady or Ohm Brew often charge more per bottle and tend to focus on more elaborate flavour construction. If you want depth and are willing to pay for it, those can be worth trying.
• Against 10ml nicotine salt liquids: these cost more per ml but suit pod kits and deliver higher nicotine strengths. They are a different product for a different device.
• Against disposables: disposable vapes are no longer sold in Great Britain, and even before the ban, a refillable kit with shortfill liquid usually cost less over a month of use.

An honest view is that Yeti Original Watermelon is good value if the flavour appeals to you and your hardware suits a high-VG liquid. If you are unsure about the flavour, a smaller bottle of something similar is a cheaper way to test before buying 100ml. If you already know you like sweet watermelon, the per-millilitre price is hard to fault.

Do not forget the running costs beyond the liquid. Coils typically need replacing every one to three weeks, and the nicotine shots, if you use them, add to the total. Factor these in when comparing the monthly cost of this setup to other ways of vaping or to buying tobacco.
