Blue Razz lemonade nic salts - a guide and comparison

Best Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salt UK 2026: Ultimate Guide & Comparison

Written by kev Leftwich on February 9, 2026. Posted in main, Mini Buying Guides. No Comments on Best Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salt UK 2026: Ultimate Guide & Comparison

Blue razz lemonade has earned its place as the single most popular nic salt flavour in the UK. Walk into any vape shop, check any online bestseller list, or ask any vaper what their go-to flavour is, and there’s a very good chance blue razz lemonade comes up. That irresistible combination of sweet-tart blue raspberry and zingy, fizzy lemonade has captured the taste buds of UK vapers like no other flavour profile.

With the disposable vape ban now in full effect, more vapers than ever are switching to refillable pod kits and 10ml nic salt e-liquids. Blue razz lemonade was already the bestselling disposable flavour, so it’s no surprise that it dominates the nic salt market too. But with dozens of brands now offering their own version, which blue razz lemonade nic salt actually delivers the best vaping experience?

We’ve tested the most popular blue razz lemonade nic salts on the UK market to help you find your perfect match. Whether you’re transitioning from disposables, upgrading from another brand, or trying this iconic flavour for the first time, this guide has everything you need to know.

What Makes a Great Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salt?

Not all blue razz lemonades are created equal. The best versions nail a specific balance that keeps you reaching for your vape all day long. Here’s what separates the good from the truly great:

Blue Raspberry Authenticity: The “blue razz” element should deliver that unmistakable sweet, candy-like blue raspberry flavour without tasting artificial or chemically. It’s a flavour that originally came from the world of sweets and slushies, so the best nic salts capture that nostalgic sweetness.

Lemonade Fizz: This is where many brands fall short. A great blue razz lemonade should have a noticeable citrus tang and almost effervescent quality on the exhale. Without that lemonade backbone, you’ve just got a blue raspberry vape — pleasant enough, but missing the magic.

Sweetness Balance: Too sweet and it becomes cloying after a few puffs, gunking up your coils in the process. Too subtle and you lose that bold, punchy character that made disposable blue razz lemonades so addictive. The ideal version hits that sweet spot where the flavour stays vibrant from the first puff to the last drop.

Coil Longevity: Sweeter e-liquids can be harsh on coils. The best blue razz lemonade nic salts use quality ingredients that deliver bold flavour without burning through your coils every other day.

VG/PG Ratio: For nic salt e-liquids designed for pod kits and MTL devices, a 50/50 blend is the sweet spot, delivering clear flavour with satisfying vapour production.

The Contenders: Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salts Compared

We’ve selected four of the most popular blue razz lemonade nic salts available in the UK market. Each brings something different to the table, but as you’ll discover, one stands above the rest in our experience.

Elfliq Blue Razz Lemonade

Elfliq is Elf Bar’s official nic salt range, and Blue Razz Lemonade is their single bestselling flavour — which says a lot given the size of the Elf Bar brand. It’s designed to replicate the exact flavour from their hugely popular disposable vapes, and for the most part, it delivers.

The Flavour: Bold and sweet with an immediately recognisable “bar salt” character. The blue raspberry is front and centre with a sugary, candy-like sweetness, while the lemonade provides a fizzy citrus undertone on the exhale. If you loved the Elf Bar Blue Razz Lemonade disposable, this tastes virtually identical.

The Experience: Strong flavour intensity that hits from the first puff. However, being manufactured overseas, we’ve noticed some batch variation — some bottles taste slightly different to others. The thinner e-liquid consistency can also lead to occasional leaking in certain pod systems, and the high sweetener content means coils tend to darken faster than with UK-made alternatives.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: China
Price: £3.99–£4.99 (3 for £12 at White Vape Co)

IVG Bar Favourites Blue Razz Lemonade

IVG is a well-respected UK-based brand known for premium e-liquids. Their Bar Favourites range brings disposable-inspired flavours to the nic salt format, with Blue Razz Lemonade being one of their standout offerings.

The Flavour: A more refined take on the blue razz lemonade profile. The blue raspberry is sweet but not overwhelming, with genuine fruity depth rather than pure candy sweetness. The lemonade element is pronounced and authentic, creating a beverage-like quality that makes this feel like sipping a blue raspberry lemonade rather than just vaping a sweet liquid.

The Experience: Smooth throat hit across all strengths. IVG’s quality control is excellent — you get consistent flavour bottle to bottle. The balanced sweetness is notably easier on coils than some of the more heavily sweetened alternatives. However, some vapers who prefer the intense, punchy sweetness of disposable-style flavours might find this a touch too subtle.

Available Strengths: 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK
Price: £3.99 (3 for £10 at White Vape Co)

Bar Series Blue Razz Lemonade

Bar Series by Mixtio has built a strong reputation for delivering bold, disposable-inspired flavours at competitive prices. Their Gold Edition nic salts range includes Blue Razz Lemonade as a core flavour.

The Flavour: Punchy and unapologetically sweet. Bar Series goes for maximum flavour impact with an intense blue raspberry that’s vibrant and sugary, backed by a sharp lemonade kick. This is one for vapers who want their blue razz lemonade loud and proud — it doesn’t hold back on sweetness.

The Experience: Good vapour production for a 50/50 liquid. The flavour intensity is impressive straight out of the bottle. On the downside, the heavy sweetness can be a bit much for extended all-day vaping, and we found it slightly harsher on coils than some competitors. Still, for short bursts of intense blue razz flavour, it delivers.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK
Price: £2.99 (4 for £10 at White Vape Co)

Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade

Mix Labs has rapidly become one of the most popular nic salt brands in the UK, and their Blue Raspberry Lemonade is a prime example of why. Made in the UK with premium ingredients, this is the blue razz lemonade nic salt we keep coming back to.

The Flavour: This is where Mix Labs truly excels. The blue raspberry is sweet and authentic with genuine berry depth — not just one-dimensional candy sweetness. The lemonade element is perfectly balanced, providing a refreshing citrus tang and subtle fizzy quality that lifts the whole flavour profile. It’s complex enough to stay interesting throughout the day without ever becoming tiring.

The Experience: One thing you’ll notice immediately is the slightly thicker texture compared to other brands. This isn’t a flaw — it’s actually a significant advantage. The thicker consistency means less leaking and flooding in pod kits, which is a common complaint with thinner blue razz lemonade nic salts. The vape itself is noticeably smoother, even at 20mg, with none of the harshness that can creep in with imported alternatives. Coil longevity is impressive too — we consistently get longer life from coils running Mix Labs compared to heavily sweetened competitors.

Available Strengths: 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK 🇬🇧
Price: £3.99 (4 for £12 at White Vape Co)
Also Available: 100ml Shortfill (£9.99) — perfect for high-volume vapers

Our Verdict: The Best Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salt

After extensive testing, Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade is our top recommendation for the best blue razz lemonade nic salt in the UK.

Here’s why it wins:

Superior flavour balance — Mix Labs nails the sweet spot between bold blue raspberry and refreshing lemonade. It’s flavourful enough to satisfy disposable converts but refined enough for all-day vaping without flavour fatigue.

Thicker texture = less leaking — If you’ve ever had a blue razz lemonade nic salt flood your pod or leak in your pocket, you’ll appreciate this. Mix Labs’ slightly thicker consistency stays where it should, working with your coil rather than against it.

Smoother vape — Even at 20mg, the throat hit is remarkably smooth compared to imported alternatives. This matters especially for blue razz lemonade, where harshness can clash with the sweet flavour profile.

UK made quality — Consistent flavour from bottle to bottle. No batch variation surprises. Premium ingredients that are kinder to your coils.

Shortfill option — If you vape through blue razz lemonade quickly (and many people do — it’s that moreish), the 100ml shortfill offers brilliant value.

That said, all four options have their merits. If you’re specifically after the exact Elf Bar disposable taste, Elfliq is the closest match. If you want a more refined, less sweet version, IVG is excellent. And Bar Series offers the best bang for your buck if budget is the priority.

Best Pod Kits for Blue Razz Lemonade Nic Salts

Blue razz lemonade is a flavour that really benefits from a quality pod kit. The right device will bring out the nuances of the berry and lemonade notes, while the wrong one can make it taste muted or overly sweet. Here are our top recommendations from the White Vape Co pod kit range:

OXVA Xlim Go 2 — Our top pick for blue razz lemonade. The mesh coil delivers exceptional flavour clarity, making every layer of the blue raspberry and lemonade profile pop. Compact, lightweight, and brilliant battery life.

OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra — If you want adjustable airflow to fine-tune your blue razz experience, the Xlim 3 Ultra is perfect. Tighter draw emphasises the lemonade tang; looser draw brings out more berry sweetness.

Aspire PockeX Box Kit — A reliable all-rounder that handles sweet flavours brilliantly. The coil life is particularly impressive with Mix Labs’ cleaner formula.

Blue Razz Lemonade: Perfect for Disposable Converts

If you’ve recently switched from disposable vapes to a refillable kit, blue razz lemonade is one of the easiest flavour transitions you can make. It was the top-selling disposable flavour in the UK, so you already know you love it. The 10ml nic salt version gives you the exact same flavour experience with several advantages:

Cost savings: A single 10ml bottle of blue razz lemonade nic salt provides roughly 5,000 puffs — equivalent to around 8 disposable vapes. At £3.99 per bottle (or less with multi-buy deals), you’re saving a significant amount of money every week.

Better flavour: Refillable devices with mesh coils actually deliver richer, more nuanced flavour than disposables. You might be surprised at how much better blue razz lemonade tastes when it’s not being filtered through a cheap disposable coil.

Less waste: One refillable pod kit replaces hundreds of disposable vapes heading to landfill. Same great blue razz lemonade taste, massively reduced environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does blue razz lemonade nic salt taste like?

A1: Blue razz lemonade combines the sweet, candy-like flavour of blue raspberry with the tangy, fizzy taste of fresh lemonade. The result is a refreshing, fruity vape that balances sweetness and citrus tartness. It’s one of the most popular nic salt flavours in the UK because the flavour profile is bold enough to be satisfying but balanced enough for all-day vaping.

Q2: Which blue razz lemonade nic salt tastes most like the Elf Bar disposable?

A2: Elfliq Blue Razz Lemonade is the closest match to the Elf Bar disposable version, as it’s made by the same manufacturer using the same flavouring formula. However, many vapers find that Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade actually delivers a better overall experience in a refillable pod kit thanks to its smoother vape and superior coil longevity.

Q3: Is Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade the same as blue razz lemonade?

A3: Yes — “blue razz lemonade” and “blue raspberry lemonade” refer to the same flavour profile. Different brands use different names, but the core flavour combination of blue raspberry and lemonade is the same. Mix Labs uses the full name “Blue Raspberry Lemonade” while brands like Elfliq and SKE Crystal use the abbreviated “Blue Razz Lemonade.”

Q4: What nicotine strength should I choose for blue razz lemonade nic salt?

A4: If you’re switching from disposables or smoking 10+ cigarettes a day, start with 20mg for the most satisfying experience. If you’re a lighter smoker or have already reduced your nicotine intake, 10mg offers a smoother vape with the same great flavour. Some brands also offer 5mg for vapers looking to gradually reduce their nicotine consumption.

Q5: Why is my blue razz lemonade nic salt leaking?

A5: Thinner e-liquids can sometimes leak through pod seals, especially in warmer weather. This is one reason we recommend Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade — its slightly thicker consistency is noticeably less prone to leaking compared to thinner alternatives like Elfliq. Also make sure you’re not overfilling your pod and that your coil is properly seated.

Q6: Can I get blue razz lemonade as a shortfill?

A6: Yes! If you vape a lot of blue razz lemonade, the Mix Labs Blue Raspberry Lemonade 100ml Shortfill is a great option. It comes as a 0mg base that you add your own nicotine shots to, making it ideal for sub-ohm devices or vapers who prefer lower nicotine strengths. You can also find Blue Razz Lemonade shortfills from Imp Jar in our shortfill range.

The Definitive Guide to Prefilled Pod Systems UK 2026: Dojo Blast 10K, 30K & Every Major Brand Compared

Last updated: February 2026 | Written by the team at White Vape Co, Southampton’s trusted vape shop and Smoke Free Hampshire partner

Since the UK disposable vape ban came into effect in June 2025, prefilled pod systems have become the go-to choice for millions of vapers across the country. These rechargeable devices offer the same convenience and flavour you loved from disposables, but with better value, less waste, and full UK legal compliance.

With dozens of prefilled pod kits now flooding the market from brands like Dojo, Lost Mary, Elf Bar, SKE Crystal, IVG, and Hayati, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. In this definitive guide, we compare every major prefilled pod system available in the UK, break down the specs, flavours, and running costs, and explain why the Dojo Blast 10K and Dojo Blast 30K Pro stand head and shoulders above the competition for most vapers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Prefilled Pod System?

A prefilled pod system is a rechargeable vape device that uses sealed, pre-loaded pods or cartridges filled with nicotine salt e-liquid. Unlike disposable vapes (which are now banned in the UK), the battery unit is reusable. When your pod runs out of e-liquid, you simply replace it with a fresh one and keep vaping. There’s no filling, no coil changing, and no mess.

Modern prefilled pod systems have evolved significantly. The latest “big puff” prefilled kits, like the Dojo Blast 10K, use an innovative two-part design: a standard 2ml TPD-compliant pod paired with a larger refill container (typically 8ml or 10ml) that automatically tops up the pod as you vape. This means you get thousands of puffs from each pod pack while remaining fully compliant with UK regulations.

How Does the Auto-Refill System Work?

The clever engineering behind big puff prefilled kits keeps them legal under TPD rules. The 2ml pod is the only part that directly contacts the coil and produces vapour. The attached refill container feeds e-liquid down into the pod through a gravity-assisted or pressure-sealed system. You never interact with the e-liquid directly — it’s all sealed and self-contained. When both the pod and refill container are empty, you swap the entire unit for a new one.

Why Prefilled Pods Are the Future of UK Vaping

The shift from disposable vapes to prefilled pod systems isn’t just about legal compliance. Prefilled pods genuinely offer a better vaping experience in almost every way.

Better value for money — A disposable vape typically cost £5-£8 and lasted a day or two. A prefilled pod kit like the Dojo Blast 10K costs around £10-£13 for the initial device (which includes your first pod), and replacement pods cost just £5-£6 each. If you’re using a 10,000-puff device, a single pod pack can last a week or more for the average vaper.

Superior flavour consistency — Advanced mesh coil technology in modern prefilled pods delivers richer, more consistent flavour from the first puff to the last. The Dojo Blast range uses Vaporesso’s COREX 2.0 dual mesh coils, which heat e-liquid more evenly and efficiently than any disposable ever could.

Rechargeable batteries — No more throwing away perfectly good batteries. Prefilled pod kits feature built-in rechargeable batteries (typically 800-1200mAh) that charge via USB-C. Most devices charge fully in under an hour.

Reduced environmental impact — By reusing the battery unit and only replacing the pod, you’re generating a fraction of the waste compared to disposables. With lithium battery recycling being a growing concern, rechargeable systems are significantly more responsible.

Full UK legal compliance — All prefilled pod systems sold by reputable UK retailers like White Vape Co are TPD-compliant and MHRA-notified, meaning they meet strict safety and quality standards.

Our Top Pick: The Dojo Blast 10K & Dojo Blast 30K Pro

After testing every major prefilled pod system on the UK market, the Dojo Blast 10K and the newer Dojo Blast 30K Pro are our top recommendations at White Vape Co. Here’s why these two devices consistently outperform the competition.

Dojo Blast 10K — Best All-Round Prefilled Pod Kit

The Dojo Blast 10K Pod Kit is manufactured by Vaporesso, one of the most respected names in the vaping industry. This isn’t a rebadged disposable — it’s a purpose-built rechargeable device engineered from the ground up for flavour, longevity, and reliability.

Key specifications:

Puff count: Up to 10,000 puffs per pod pack
E-liquid capacity: 2ml pod + 8ml refill container (10ml total)
Battery: 1000mAh rechargeable via USB-C
Nicotine strength: 20mg nicotine salt
Coil technology: COREX 2.0 dual mesh coil
Activation: Inhale-activated (auto-draw) with optional Boost Mode
Leak protection: SSS (Smart-Seal-System) leak-resistant technology
Flavours available: 16+ options

✅ Why We Love It

Vaporesso engineering — trusted brand with years of innovation
COREX 2.0 mesh coils deliver exceptional, consistent flavour
1000mAh battery easily lasts a full day
Boost Mode for extra vapour intensity
Transparent pod design lets you monitor e-liquid levels
Compact and pocket-friendly
Wide range of flavours with genuinely great taste
Replacement pods are affordable and widely available

⚠️ Worth Knowing

USB-C cable not included (standard cable works)
Puff count varies depending on draw length
No adjustable airflow (fixed MTL draw)

What truly sets the Dojo Blast 10K apart is the quality of Vaporesso’s engineering. While many prefilled pod brands are simply repackaging basic hardware, Vaporesso has invested in genuine coil innovation with their COREX technology. The dual mesh coil heats e-liquid more evenly, producing richer flavour and denser vapour compared to single mesh or traditional coils found in competitors like the Elf Bar ELFA Pro or Lost Mary BM600.

The Boost Mode feature is another standout. Press the button at the bottom of the device to switch from normal to boost, which increases power output for a more intense, warmer vape when you want it. No other prefilled pod system in this price range offers this level of control.

Dojo Blast 30K Pro — The Ultimate Big Puff Prefilled Device

For vapers who want even more from their prefilled device, the Dojo Blast 30K Pro takes everything great about the 10K and doubles down. This is the highest-capacity prefilled pod system we’ve seen from a premium manufacturer, and it’s fully MHRA-notified for UK sale.

Key specifications:

Puff count: Up to 30,000 puffs per kit
E-liquid capacity: 2x (2ml pod + 8ml refill) = 20ml total
Battery: 1200mAh rechargeable via USB-C
Nicotine strength: 20mg nicotine salt
Coil technology: Dual mesh atomisation
Modes: ECO / NORMAL / POWER (3 power settings)
Airflow: 3-level adjustable airflow control
Display: LED screen showing battery level and mode
Flavours: 28 options (including dual-flavour pods)
Pod compatibility: Fully compatible with Dojo Blast 10K pods

✅ Why We Love It

Incredible 30,000 puff capacity — two full pod packs included
Three power modes (ECO/NORMAL/POWER) for a customised vape
Adjustable airflow — rare in prefilled devices
LED display for monitoring battery and settings
Bigger 1200mAh battery for extended use
Backwards compatible with all Dojo Blast 10K pods
28 flavour options including innovative dual-flavour pods
Visible e-liquid reservoir

⚠️ Worth Knowing

Larger device — less pocket-friendly than the 10K
Higher initial cost (but exceptional value per puff)
USB-C cable not included

The Dojo Blast 30K Pro represents the most advanced prefilled pod system currently available in the UK. The three-tier power mode system (ECO for battery saving, NORMAL for everyday use, POWER for maximum flavour and vapour) gives you genuine control over your vaping experience — something that competitors like the Lost Mary Nera 30K and Hayati Pro Ultra simply don’t offer at this level.

Perhaps the most compelling feature is the pod cross-compatibility with the Dojo Blast 10K system. If you already own the 10K, every pod you’ve bought works perfectly in the 30K Pro. And the 28 flavour options — including five dual-flavour pods — give you the widest flavour selection of any big puff prefilled device on the market.

💡 White Vape Co Tip: If you’re new to prefilled pods, start with the Dojo Blast 10K. It’s more compact, more affordable, and gives you a great introduction to the Dojo ecosystem. If you love it (and you will), you can upgrade to the 30K Pro later and continue using the same replacement pods. Check our full prefilled pod range for current stock and prices.

Dojo Blast Flavour Guide

One of the biggest advantages of choosing the Dojo Blast system is the exceptional flavour quality powered by Vaporesso’s Deliciu nic salt e-liquids. Here’s a rundown of the flavours available for both the Dojo Blast 10K replacement pods and the 30K Pro:

🍌 Banana Ice — Creamy banana with a cool icy finish

🍇 Black Grape — Rich, bold dark grape

💙 Blue Razz Lemonade — Sweet blue raspberry meets fizzy lemonade

🫐 Blueberry — Ripe, sweet blueberry

🫐🍋 Blueberry Sour Raspberry — Sweet blueberry with tangy raspberry

🍏🍎 Double Apple — Classic red and green apple blend

🌿 Classic Tobacco — Smooth, authentic tobacco

❄️ Cool Menthol — Crisp, clean menthol ice

🍒 Fizzy Cherry — Dark cherry with fizzy soda notes

🍋 Lemon Lime — Sour lemon meets zesty lime

🍍 Pineapple Ice — Sweet exotic pineapple with cool menthol

🍓 Strawberry Raspberry Cherry — Triple berry medley with icy finish

🥭 Triple Mango — Rich, layered mango blend

🍉 Watermelon Ice — Juicy watermelon with cool menthol

🍏🥭🥝 Apple Mango Kiwi — Crisp apple, sweet mango, tangy kiwi

🖤🍒 Blackcurrant Apple — Tart blackcurrant meets crisp apple

Our staff favourites: At our Southampton stores, the most popular Dojo Blast flavours are Blue Razz Lemonade, Triple Mango, Banana Ice, and Blueberry Sour Raspberry. If you’re switching from disposables, Watermelon Ice and Cool Menthol are great starting points as they closely mirror the flavour profiles you’ll be familiar with.

Why the Dojo Blast Wins on Specs

Looking at the comparison table, the advantages of the Dojo Blast range become clear. The 10K offers the best battery-to-puff-count ratio of any device in its class, while the 30K Pro is the only device to offer adjustable airflow, multiple power modes, and a 30,000-puff capacity with cross-compatible pods. The Lost Mary Nera 30K comes close in terms of puff count, but lacks the power mode customisation and adjustable airflow that makes the Dojo 30K Pro so versatile.

Lost Mary BM6000 & Nera 30K

Lost Mary has been one of the most recognisable vape brands in the UK, and their transition from disposables to prefilled pod systems has been smooth. The BM6000 is a solid mid-range option with a sleek design and a built-in screen showing battery percentage — a nice touch that many competitors lack.

The Nera 30K is Lost Mary’s premium offering, featuring a stylish transparent design and smart display. It’s a good device, but compared to the Dojo Blast 30K Pro, it falls short on customisation. There’s no adjustable airflow, no power modes, and the battery is only 900mAh compared to the Dojo’s 1200mAh. The flavour range is excellent with classic MaryLiq-inspired options, but the Dojo Blast edges ahead on both flavour intensity and consistency thanks to Vaporesso’s superior coil technology.

If you already enjoy Lost Mary flavours, consider pairing a MaryLiq nic salt with a refillable pod system like the OXVA Xlim range for even better value and flavour options.

Elf Bar ELFA Pro & Elf Bar 600

Elf Bar remains the biggest name in UK vaping, and their prefilled pod kits are among the most widely available. The ELFA Pro is a compact, pen-style device with an excellent range of flavours (50+) and cross-compatibility with Lost Mary Tappo pods, which is a genuine advantage if you like switching between brands.

However, the Elf Bar range is limited to 600 puffs per pod with only 2ml of e-liquid. For light vapers, this is fine, but for anyone who vapes regularly, you’ll be swapping pods daily — which quickly adds up in cost. The 500mAh battery is also significantly smaller than the Dojo Blast 10K’s 1000mAh cell, meaning more frequent charging.

Elf Bar’s newer big puff devices like the AF5500 and Plus 50 are improving in this area, but they still can’t match the Dojo Blast’s combination of Vaporesso engineering, coil quality, and puff-to-price ratio.

SKE Crystal CL6000 & Crystal 4-in-1

The SKE Crystal range is beloved for its distinctive transparent, crystal-like design. The CL6000 is a capable big puff device with an OLED screen and 6,000-puff capacity, while the 4-in-1 offers a fun twist with four rotating flavour pods.

SKE Crystal devices produce good flavour and the aesthetic design is genuinely appealing. However, the CL6000’s 800mAh battery is noticeably smaller than the Dojo Blast 10K, and the 4-in-1’s 400mAh cell struggles to last a full day for regular vapers. The Crystal 30K Pro Switch is SKE’s answer to the high-puff-count market, but again, it lacks the adjustable power modes and airflow control of the Dojo Blast 30K Pro.

If you enjoy crystal-style aesthetics, the SKE range is worth a look, but for pure performance and value, the Dojo Blast system delivers more where it counts.

IVG 2400 & IVG Air

IVG’s 2400 is a clever 4-in-1 design that packs four different 2ml flavour pods into a single device, giving you 2,400 total puffs and the ability to switch between flavours with a twist. It’s a fun concept and the flavour quality is excellent — IVG has long been known for strong e-liquid development.

The IVG Air takes a more traditional approach with a sleek pen design and 600-puff pods. Both devices are well-made, but like the Elf Bar range, the smaller pod capacities mean higher running costs compared to big puff devices like the Dojo Blast 10K.

Hayati Pro Max 6000

Hayati has carved out a strong following in the UK vape market, and the Pro Max 6000+ is their big puff contender. With 6,000 puffs per pod pack and an 850mAh battery, it’s a decent performer with a wide flavour range including many popular sweet and fruity blends.

The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K pushes puff counts even higher, but the brand doesn’t have the backing of an established hardware manufacturer like Vaporesso. This matters because coil technology, battery management, and build quality all benefit from the deep engineering expertise that Vaporesso brings to the Dojo Blast range.

Running Costs Compared: Prefilled Pod Systems

One of the most important factors when choosing a prefilled pod system is the ongoing cost of replacement pods. Here’s how the major systems compare:

Device	Kit Price (Approx.)	Pod Refill Price (Approx.)	Puffs Per Refill	Cost Per 1,000 Puffs
Dojo Blast 10K	£10-£13	£5-£6	10,000	£0.50-£0.60
Dojo Blast 30K Pro	£18-£22	£5-£6 per 10K pod	10,000 per pod	£0.50-£0.60
Lost Mary BM6000	£10-£13	£5-£6	6,000	£0.83-£1.00
Lost Mary Nera 30K	£18-£22	£6-£7	~15,000	£0.40-£0.47
Elf Bar ELFA Pro	£5-£7	£3-£4 (per 2-pack)	1,200	£2.50-£3.33
Elf Bar 600	£5-£7	£3-£4 (per 2-pack)	1,200	£2.50-£3.33
SKE Crystal CL6000	£10-£12	£5-£6	6,000	£0.83-£1.00
SKE Crystal 4-in-1	£8-£10	£5-£6	2,400	£2.08-£2.50
IVG 2400	£8-£10	£5-£6	2,400	£2.08-£2.50
Hayati Pro Max 6000+	£10-£12	£5-£6	6,000	£0.83-£1.00

The Dojo Blast 10K and 30K Pro deliver the best value among big puff devices at around 50-60p per 1,000 puffs. The 600-puff devices from Elf Bar and SKE cost 4-5 times more per puff, making them significantly more expensive in the long run despite their lower upfront cost.

How to Set Up Your First Prefilled Pod Kit

Setting up a prefilled pod system is incredibly simple — it’s designed to be even easier than using a disposable. Here’s a step-by-step guide using the Dojo Blast 10K as an example:

Unbox your kit — Remove the Dojo Blast 10K from its packaging and peel off any protective stickers.
Separate the pod and refill container — Gently pull the 8ml refill container away from the top of the 2ml prefilled pod.
Remove the silicone plug — Take out the red silicone plug from the top of the 2ml pod to expose the connection port.
Assemble — Align the 8ml refill container with the pod and press down firmly until it clicks securely into place.
Insert into the device — Slide the assembled pod unit into the battery device. The magnets will click it into position.
Wait briefly — Give the coil a minute or two to saturate with e-liquid for the best first puff.
Start vaping — Simply inhale. The device is draw-activated — no buttons needed for normal use.

When the pod runs out (you’ll notice reduced flavour and vapour), simply pull out the empty pod assembly and replace it with a fresh Dojo Blast 10K replacement pod. The battery unit lasts indefinitely — just recharge it via USB-C when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prefilled Pod Systems

Are prefilled pod systems legal in the UK after the disposable vape ban?

Yes, absolutely. Prefilled pod systems are fully legal in the UK. The June 2025 ban only applies to single-use disposable vapes. Rechargeable devices with replaceable pods — including the Dojo Blast 10K, Lost Mary BM6000, Elf Bar ELFA Pro, and all other devices featured in this guide — are fully TPD-compliant and MHRA-notified for UK sale.

What’s the difference between prefilled and refillable pod kits?

Prefilled pod kits come with sealed pods already filled with e-liquid. You simply insert the pod and start vaping — no filling, no coil changing. Refillable pod kits (like the OXVA Xlim range) require you to buy separate e-liquid and fill the pod yourself. Refillable kits offer more flavour choice and can be slightly cheaper long-term, but prefilled kits are more convenient and mess-free.

How long does a Dojo Blast 10K pod last?

The Dojo Blast 10K provides up to 10,000 puffs per pod pack. For the average vaper, this typically lasts between 5 and 10 days. Heavy vapers may get 3-5 days, while light vapers could stretch a single pod pack to two weeks. The actual puff count depends on the length and intensity of each draw.

Can I use Dojo Blast 10K pods in the Dojo Blast 30K Pro?

Yes. The Dojo Blast 30K Pro is fully backwards compatible with Dojo Blast 10K pods. This is one of the major advantages of the Dojo ecosystem — you can start with the 10K device and later upgrade to the 30K Pro without needing to switch pod formats.

Which prefilled pod system is best for quitting smoking?

Any of the 20mg nicotine salt prefilled pod systems in this guide will help with quitting smoking, as they deliver nicotine quickly and smoothly. We recommend the Dojo Blast 10K as it provides a consistent mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw that closely mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette. Visit our stores in Southampton for free, personalised advice on switching — we’re a proud Smoke Free Hampshire partner.

Are Dojo Blast pods cheaper than Lost Mary or Elf Bar pods?

On a cost-per-puff basis, Dojo Blast 10K pods are among the cheapest on the market at around 50-60p per 1,000 puffs. Elf Bar 600 pods cost approximately £2.50-£3.33 per 1,000 puffs, making them 4-5 times more expensive. Lost Mary BM6000 pods fall in the middle at around 83p-£1 per 1,000 puffs.

Do prefilled pods contain nicotine?

Yes. All prefilled pod systems sold in the UK contain nicotine salt e-liquid, typically at 20mg/ml strength (the maximum permitted under UK TPD regulations). Some brands offer 10mg/ml options for those who prefer lower nicotine levels.

Where can I buy Dojo Blast 10K pods in Southampton?

You can buy the Dojo Blast 10K kit and replacement pods at any of our three White Vape Co stores in Totton, Hythe, and Holbury. You can also order online at whitevapeco.uk for fast UK delivery.

Is the Dojo Blast 10K better than the Lost Mary BM6000?

Both are excellent devices, but we give the edge to the Dojo Blast 10K for several reasons: it has a larger 1000mAh battery (vs 900mAh), delivers 10,000 puffs (vs 6,000), features Vaporesso’s superior COREX 2.0 dual mesh coil technology, and includes a Boost Mode for extra vapour. The running costs are also lower at approximately 50p per 1,000 puffs compared to 83p for the Lost Mary BM6000.

Will prefilled pod systems be affected by the October 2026 vape tax?

The UK government is introducing a vape tax from October 2026 that will add £2.20 per 10ml to all e-liquids. This will affect the price of prefilled pods, but high-capacity systems like the Dojo Blast 10K will still offer better value than low-puff alternatives because you get more vaping time per pod. We’ll keep our prices as competitive as possible and will update this guide when pricing changes take effect.

Final Verdict: The Best Prefilled Pod System for UK Vapers in 2026

After comparing every major prefilled pod system on the UK market, the Dojo Blast 10K is our clear winner for the best all-round prefilled pod kit. It delivers the ideal combination of Vaporesso engineering quality, outstanding flavour from COREX 2.0 dual mesh coils, all-day 1000mAh battery life, 10,000 puffs per pod pack, and excellent value for money.

For power users who want the absolute maximum from their prefilled device, the Dojo Blast 30K Pro raises the bar even further with adjustable airflow, three power modes, a built-in display, and 30,000 puffs per kit — all while remaining backwards compatible with the affordable 10K pod range.

Whether you’re switching from disposables, upgrading from a basic prefilled kit, or looking for the best value in big puff vaping, the Dojo Blast system from Vaporesso is the one to beat.

Swish Nic Salts by Mix Labs: The New 2026 Range – All initial 8 Flavours Reviewed

Written by kev Leftwich on February 5, 2026. Posted in main, Product reviews. 1 Comment on Swish Nic Salts by Mix Labs: The New 2026 Range – All initial 8 Flavours Reviewed

If you vaped disposables before the UK ban, chances are you’ve already tasted Mix Labs without even knowing it. Their e-liquids became the go-to choice for thousands of vapers looking to recreate those bold, punchy disposable flavours in a refillable system. The original Mix Labs nic salt range built a reputation for flavour accuracy, smooth delivery, and premium UK-made quality that left competitors playing catch-up.

Now, Mix Labs have raised the bar again with Swish — a brand new nic salt range that takes everything great about the original line and pushes it further. More creative flavour combinations, the same silky-smooth nicotine salt formulation, and a signature candy-coated twist that gives every flavour an extra layer of depth and sweetness. Swish isn’t just another nic salt range — it’s Mix Labs showing exactly why they’re one of the most trusted names in UK vaping.

At White Vape Co, we’ve been stocking Mix Labs since the early days, and we’re proud to be among the first UK retailers to bring the full Swish range to our customers. Whether you shop online or visit our stores in Hythe, Totton, or Holbury, you can try every Swish flavour today.

What Is Swish by Mix Labs?

Swish is the latest nic salt collection from Mix Labs, the UK brand that became famous for producing some of the most accurate disposable-inspired e-liquids on the market. While the original Mix Labs range focused on faithfully recreating classic disposable flavours like Blueberry, Watermelon Ice, and Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, Swish takes a different approach.

Every Swish flavour features a signature candy-coated twist that adds an extra dimension of sweetness and smoothness to the blend. Think of it as the difference between a good cocktail and a great one — the base ingredients are premium, but there’s something extra that ties everything together and makes you want to come back for more. That “something extra” is the Swish element: a subtle, polished candy sweetness that rounds out each flavour profile beautifully.

Why Mix Labs? The Brand Behind Swish

Before we dive into the individual flavours, it’s worth understanding why Mix Labs matters. When the UK disposable vape ban came into effect in June 2025, millions of vapers were suddenly looking for alternatives. They wanted the same intense, satisfying flavours they’d grown to love from devices like Elf Bar, Lost Mary, and Crystal Bar — but in a refillable, legal, and more cost-effective format.

Mix Labs had already anticipated this shift. Their original nic salt range was specifically designed to help disposable users transition to refillable pod kits, and they nailed it. The flavours were spot-on, the nicotine delivery was smooth and satisfying, and the 50/50 VG/PG ratio meant they worked perfectly in every pod system on the market.

What set Mix Labs apart from the flood of “bar salt” brands was consistency and quality. Every bottle tasted the same. The e-liquid had a slightly thicker, more refined texture that reduced leaking in pod systems. And crucially, Mix Labs was blending in the UK (and Europe) with premium ingredients, not cutting corners with cheap imports. That attention to quality earned them a loyal following that keeps growing — and Swish is the next evolution of that reputation.

The Complete Swish Flavour Range

The Swish range launches with eight carefully crafted flavours. Each one combines bold, recognisable flavour profiles with the signature Swish candy twist. Here’s our breakdown of every flavour in the lineup:

Cherry Watermelon Swish

A summer classic reimagined. Sweet, ripe cherries meet juicy watermelon in a blend that’s refreshing, fruity, and effortlessly smooth. The cherry brings depth and richness on the inhale, while the watermelon opens everything up with its light, hydrating sweetness on the exhale. The Swish candy finish ties the two fruits together with a polished, rounded sweetness that makes this an easy all-day vape. If you loved cherry or watermelon disposables, this takes that concept to the next level.

Grape Gummy Bear Swish

This one is for the sweet-tooth vapers. Imagine biting into a perfectly ripe grape gummy bear — that’s the flavour profile here. Rich, dark grape flavour dominates with a bold, almost jammy sweetness, while the gummy bear element adds a chewy, candy-shop quality that’s playful and indulgent. The Swish twist enhances the candy dimension even further, creating a flavour that’s unashamedly sweet but never sickly. It’s fun, bold, and incredibly moreish.

Kiwi Lemon Swish

A sharp, tangy pairing that delivers serious flavour punch. The kiwi provides a sweet, slightly tart base that’s both fruity and exotic, while the lemon cuts through with bright, zesty citrus notes that keep things feeling fresh and lively. This is one of those flavours that wakes up your taste buds with every puff. The Swish candy element softens the citrus bite just enough to keep it smooth and enjoyable all day, without losing any of the zingy character that makes this combination work so well.

Mixed Berry Chill Swish

Mixed berry blends are a staple in vaping for good reason — they’re versatile, satisfying, and universally loved. Mix Labs’ take combines a medley of sweet and tart berries with a cooling menthol finish that adds an extra dimension of refreshment. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries layer together to create a complex, fruity base, while the chill element provides a clean, icy exhale that lingers pleasantly. The Swish candy twist adds warmth and sweetness that balances the cool perfectly. This is the flavour to reach for when you want something that does it all.

Mojito Swish

Cocktail-inspired vapes are having a moment, and this is one of the best we’ve tried. Bright, zesty lime takes the lead, delivering a sharp citrus hit that’s instantly refreshing. Cool mint leaves follow, adding that authentic mojito freshness that makes this flavour feel sophisticated and invigorating. The Swish candy twist is particularly well-suited here, acting like the sugar rim on a cocktail glass — it rounds out the tartness and adds a smooth, sweet finish that makes every puff feel like a treat. If you’re looking for something different from the usual fruit blends, Mojito Swish is a standout.

Nerd Berg Swish

The name gives it away — this is a sweet, tangy candy flavour inspired by those iconic crunchy, colourful sweets we all grew up eating. It’s a vibrant, multi-layered blend of sweet and sour notes with a berry undertone that keeps things interesting. There’s a fizzy, almost effervescent quality to the flavour that makes it feel lively and exciting on the palate. The Swish twist amplifies the candy character, creating a flavour that’s bold, playful, and packed with personality. If you love sweet vapes with a bit of tang, Nerd Berg is going to become a firm favourite.

Orange Lemonade Swish

Think of cracking open a cold bottle of sparkling orange lemonade on a hot day — that’s the vibe here. Sweet, juicy orange dominates the inhale with its bright, sunny citrus flavour, while tangy lemonade notes come through on the exhale with a fizzy, refreshing quality. It’s a clean, crisp flavour that feels light and uplifting without being overly sweet. The Swish candy finish adds just enough sweetness to smooth everything out and give it that polished, premium feel. This is a perfect summer flavour, but honestly, it’s good enough to enjoy year-round.

Strawberry Lime Swish

A fruity, zesty combination that delivers both sweetness and sharpness in equal measure. Ripe, juicy strawberries provide a familiar, comforting sweetness that’s instantly satisfying, while lime adds a tart, citrusy edge that lifts the entire profile and keeps it from becoming one-dimensional. The two flavours complement each other brilliantly, with the strawberry softening the lime and the lime adding brightness to the strawberry. The Swish candy twist enhances the strawberry’s sweetness while preserving the lime’s sharpness, creating a perfectly balanced blend that’s refreshing, fruity, and dangerously easy to vape all day.

What Makes Swish Different from the Original Mix Labs Range?

If you’re already a fan of Mix Labs nic salts, you might be wondering what makes Swish worth trying. Here’s how the two lines compare:

Feature	Original Mix Labs	Swish by Mix Labs
Flavour Style	Faithful disposable recreations	Creative blends with candy twist
Number of Flavours	30+	8 (launch range)
Flavour Approach	Single-note and classic combos	Complex, multi-layered profiles
Signature Element	Disposable-accurate flavour	Candy-coated Swish finish
VG/PG	50/50	50/50
Strengths	5mg, 10mg, 20mg	10mg, 20mg (5mg expected soon)
Best For	Ex-disposable users wanting familiar flavours	Vapers wanting something new and creative

The key difference is intent. The original range was built to replace disposables with identical flavours. Swish is built to excite — to give vapers who’ve already made the switch to refillables something fresh, creative, and different to look forward to. They’re not competing with each other; they complement each other perfectly.

Which Swish Flavour Should You Try First?

With eight flavours to choose from, picking your first Swish can feel overwhelming. Here’s our quick guide based on what you usually enjoy:

If you love fruity vapes: Start with Cherry Watermelon or Strawberry Lime. Both are crowd-pleasers with familiar fruit profiles elevated by the Swish twist.

If you prefer something cool and refreshing: Mixed Berry Chill delivers that icy hit alongside its berry blend, while Mojito offers cooling mint with zesty citrus.

If you like sweet and candy-style flavours: Grape Gummy Bear and Nerd Berg are made for you. Bold, unapologetically sweet, and packed with candy character.

If you enjoy drinks-inspired flavours: Orange Lemonade and Mojito capture refreshing beverage profiles with impressive authenticity.

If you want the best value: Grab 4 for £12 with our multi-buy deal and try a selection across the range. That’s just £3 per bottle for premium nic salt e-liquid.

Best Devices for Swish Nic Salts

Like all 50/50 nic salts, Swish is designed for low-wattage, mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. Here are some of our recommended devices that pair perfectly with the range:

The OXVA Xlim Go 2 is one of our top picks — it’s compact, reliable, and delivers excellent flavour from nic salts. The adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune your draw, and the 1000mAh battery means you’ll get a full day’s use from a single charge. For something with a bit more versatility, the OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra offers adjustable wattage and a larger battery, making it ideal for vapers who want more control over their experience.

If you’re completely new to refillable vaping and looking for the simplest possible setup, the Aspire PockeX Box Kit is a fantastic entry point. Fill it with your chosen Swish flavour, and you’re ready to go — no settings to adjust, no buttons to press.

Need help choosing a device? Our team at White Vape Co can match you with the perfect kit. As official Smoke Free Hampshire partners, we specialise in helping people find the right setup for their needs.

Swish Nic Salts: Pricing & Value

Swish by Mix Labs is available at White Vape Co at the following prices:

Quantity	Price	Per Bottle
1 bottle	£3.99	£3.99
4 bottles	£12.00	£3.00
10 bottles	£28.00	£2.80

To put that in perspective, a single 10ml bottle of nic salt provides the equivalent satisfaction of approximately 5 disposable vapes. At £2.80 per bottle on the 10-bottle deal, that’s extraordinary value compared to any alternative on the market.

Best Pink Lemonade Nic Salt UK 2026 – Ultimate Guide & Comparison

Written by kev Leftwich on February 4, 2026. Posted in main, Mini Buying Guides, Product reviews. 1 Comment on Best Pink Lemonade Nic Salt UK 2026 – Ultimate Guide & Comparison

Pink lemonade has become one of the most popular nic salt flavours in the UK vaping scene, and it’s easy to understand why. That perfect balance of tangy citrus lemonade with sweet mixed berries creates a refreshing, all-day vape that never gets old. But with so many brands now offering their own version, which pink lemonade nic salt actually delivers the best vaping experience?

We’ve put the most popular pink lemonade nic salts through their paces to help you find your perfect match. Whether you’re transitioning from disposables or looking to upgrade your current favourite, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What Makes a Great Pink Lemonade Nic Salt?

Before diving into the comparison, it’s worth understanding what separates an average pink lemonade from an exceptional one. The best pink lemonade nic salts nail these key elements:

Flavour Balance: The lemonade base should be zingy and authentic without being artificially sour. The berry notes (typically strawberry, raspberry, or mixed red berries) need to complement rather than overpower the citrus foundation.

Sweetness Level: Too sweet and it becomes sickly after a few puffs. Too subtle and you lose that refreshing character. The ideal pink lemonade hits that “just right” sweetness that keeps you reaching for your vape all day.

E-Liquid Quality: This is where many cheaper brands fall short. Premium ingredients mean better flavour longevity, smoother throat hit, and importantly, a consistency that doesn’t gunk up your coils after a day or two.

VG/PG Ratio: For nic salt e-liquids designed for pod kits and MTL devices, a 50/50 blend is the sweet spot, delivering clear flavour with satisfying vapour production.

The Contenders: Pink Lemonade Nic Salts Compared

We’ve selected four of the most popular pink lemonade nic salts available in the UK market. Each brings something different to the table, but as you’ll discover, one stands above the rest in our experience.

Elfliq Pink Lemonade

Elfliq is Elf Bar’s official nic salt range, designed to replicate the flavours from their hugely popular disposable vapes. For vapers who loved the Pink Lemonade Elf Bar, this promises the same taste in a refillable format.

The Flavour: Sweet mixed berries with fizzy lemonade notes. There’s definitely that recognisable “bar flavour” quality that disposable users will find familiar. The berry element is quite prominent, with the lemonade providing a citrus backdrop rather than taking centre stage.

The Experience: A decent throat hit with good flavour intensity. However, being manufactured overseas, we’ve noticed some batch-to-batch variation in flavour consistency. The thinner e-liquid consistency can also lead to occasional leaking in some pod systems.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: China

Drifter Bar Salts Pink Lemonade

Drifter is a UK-based brand from Juice Sauz, known for their “double flavour” approach that aims to deliver more intense taste than typical nic salts. They’ve built a solid reputation among vapers transitioning from disposables.

The Flavour: A fusion of strawberry and raspberry with traditional cloudy lemonade. Drifter leans into the fruit notes quite heavily, creating a sweeter profile than some competitors. The lemonade element has a pleasant natural quality to it.

The Experience: Smooth and flavourful with good coil longevity. Being UK-made, the quality control is noticeably better than imported alternatives. Drifter also offers a 100ml shortfill version for those who prefer higher VG sub-ohm vaping.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK

Bar Juice 5000 Pink Lemonade

Bar Juice 5000 markets itself on sustainability, with each 10ml bottle equating to around 5,000 puffs in a refillable device. Another UK manufacturer, they’ve carved out a niche among eco-conscious vapers.

The Flavour: Mixed red berries with fizzy citrus lemonade and a subtle cooling finish. That slight ice element is worth noting as it won’t suit everyone who prefers a straight fruity profile without any menthol notes.

The Experience: Clean and crisp with reliable quality. The ice undertone gives it a refreshing edge that some vapers love, though others find it slightly distracting from the core pink lemonade flavour. Good value with frequent multi-buy offers.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK

Mix Labs Pink Lemonade

Mix Labs is a British e-liquid manufacturer that has quickly gained a loyal following for their quality-focused approach. Their Disposable Inspired range was specifically developed to help vapers transition from disposables to refillable devices without compromising on flavour.

The Flavour: Sharp, authentic lemon blended with layered red berry notes. What immediately stands out is the balance. Neither the citrus nor the berry dominates. Instead, they work in harmony to create a genuinely refreshing pink lemonade that tastes natural rather than artificially sweet.

The Experience: This is where Mix Labs really shines. The e-liquid has a noticeably thicker, slightly more viscous texture compared to competitors. This isn’t just a quality indicator; it has practical benefits. The thicker consistency means significantly less leaking in pod systems, something that plagues many thinner nic salts.

The vape itself is remarkably smooth. Even at 20mg strength, there’s none of that harsh throat scratch you sometimes get with lower-quality nic salts. The flavour stays true from the first puff to the last, with excellent coil longevity that means you’re not replacing pods every other day.

Available Strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg
VG/PG: 50/50
Made In: UK
Also Available: 100ml Shortfill

Head-to-Head Comparison

Our Rating	7/10	8/10	7.5/10	9/10

Our Verdict: Why Mix Labs Pink Lemonade Wins

After extensive testing, Mix Labs Pink Lemonade is our clear recommendation for anyone seeking the best pink lemonade nic salt experience in the UK.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Superior E-Liquid Quality: The thicker, more premium texture isn’t just marketing speak. You’ll immediately notice the difference when filling your pod. This translates to noticeably less leaking and better wicking, which means fewer dry hits and longer-lasting coils.

Smoother Vaping Experience: Even at higher nicotine strengths, Mix Labs delivers an exceptionally smooth throat hit. This is particularly important for ex-smokers and those transitioning from disposables who need satisfying nicotine delivery without harshness.

Authentic UK Manufacturing: Made right here in Britain with strict quality control, you get consistent flavour every single time. No batch lottery wondering if this bottle will taste the same as the last.

Perfect Flavour Balance: Neither too sweet nor too sour, with the lemon and berry notes working in genuine harmony. It’s refreshing enough for all-day vaping without becoming overwhelming or causing vaper’s tongue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What nicotine strength should I choose for pink lemonade nic salt?

If you’re a heavy smoker (20+ cigarettes daily), start with 20mg. Moderate smokers (10-20 daily) often find 10mg ideal. Light smokers or those stepping down can try 5mg. The beauty of nic salts is that even higher strengths remain smooth and satisfying.

Can I use pink lemonade nic salt in any vape device?

Nic salts with a 50/50 VG/PG ratio like Mix Labs are designed for low-wattage MTL devices such as pod kits and vape pens. They’re not suitable for sub-ohm tanks or high-powered devices, which require higher VG shortfill e-liquids.

Why does my pink lemonade nic salt taste different between brands?

Every manufacturer uses different flavouring combinations and quality ingredients. Some lean more heavily into the berry notes, others emphasise the citrus, and some add cooling elements. Manufacturing location and quality control also significantly impact consistency.

How long does a 10ml bottle of nic salt last?

A 10ml bottle typically provides equivalent satisfaction to around 5-7 disposable vapes, or roughly 3,000-5,000 puffs depending on your vaping style. Most moderate vapers find a 10ml bottle lasts 3-5 days.

Is UK-made nic salt better than imported?

UK manufacturing means stricter quality control, fresher ingredients (no lengthy shipping), and more consistent batch quality. While there are decent imported options, we generally find UK-made nic salts offer superior overall quality and reliability.

Does Mix Labs Pink Lemonade contain any ice or menthol?

No. Mix Labs Pink Lemonade is a pure fruit and citrus blend without any cooling elements. If you prefer a cooling sensation, check out their other flavours like Watermelon Ice or Mango Ice.

#1 Best Overall: OXVA Xlim Go 2

Battery: 1,500mAh | Style: MTL/RDL Pod Kit | Best For: Absolute beginners & budget-conscious vapers

Oxva XLIM GO 2 Pod Vape Kit Black Shadow

👉 View the OXVA Xlim Go 2 | Xlim Go 2 Starter Bundle

Why We Recommend It

If there’s one device we recommend more than any other to people walking into our vape shops in Southampton for the first time, it’s the OXVA Xlim Go 2. Building on the wildly popular original Xlim Go, the Go 2 takes everything that made its predecessor brilliant and adds meaningful upgrades – a 50% bigger battery, faster charging, and OXVA’s latest UniTech 2.0 coil technology for dramatically improved flavour.

The Xlim Go 2 is designed with one thing in mind: simplicity. It’s a draw-activated device with no buttons and no menus – you fill the pod with your chosen e-liquid or nic salt, pop it in, and start vaping. The adjustable airflow lets you dial in a tight cigarette-like draw for MTL vaping or open it up for a slightly airier restricted direct-lung (RDL) style. It’s the perfect entry point into vaping.

Key Features

1,500mAh battery – A massive 50% upgrade over the original Go. This will comfortably last most vapers multiple days on a single charge – OXVA claims up to five days with the 0.8ohm pod. The hidden breathing starlight indicator glows when you vape or charge, showing green for 70%+, blue for 30%+, and red when it’s time to plug in.
USB-C 2A fast charging – Reaches 80% in under 30 minutes. Significantly faster than the original Go thanks to the upgraded 2A charging speed.
UniTech 2.0 coil technology – OXVA’s latest dual mesh system with five-layer premium cotton delivers 50% more flavour and 30% longer pod life compared to previous generation pods.
Adjustable airflow – Slide the airflow ring to find your sweet spot, from a tight cigarette-like draw to a slightly looser pull.
Smart wattage – Automatically detects your coil resistance and selects the best output, so there’s zero guesswork. 30W max output.
Full Xlim pod compatibility – Works with all Xlim V2, V3, Top Fill and EZ pods in 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm options. We recommend the 0.8ohm pod with nic salts for the best beginner experience.
Eight colourways – Light Brown, Black, Metal Silver, Metal Blue, Green Ripple, Blue Ripple, Pink Ripple and Black Carbon.

Who Is It For?

The Xlim Go 2 is ideal for anyone looking for a beginner vape kit in the UK that’s straightforward and reliable. It’s our go-to recommendation for ex-smokers making the switch, people transitioning from disposables, and anyone who wants maximum flavour without a steep learning curve. Pick up the device on its own or as part of a complete Xlim Go 2 Starter Bundle with pods and nic salt e-liquids included for unbeatable value.

#2 Best Upgrade: OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra

Battery: 1,500mAh | Style: MTL/RDL Pod Kit | Screen: 2.2″ HD Full Touch | Best For: Vapers who want more control and a premium feel

👉 View the OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra | Browse all OXVA devices

Why We Recommend It

If you’ve been vaping for a little while and want something with a bit more sophistication, or you simply appreciate having more control over your experience, the OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra is the natural next step. It takes everything that makes the OXVA Xlim range brilliant and adds a stunning 2.2-inch HD full touch screen – the first of its kind in the Xlim lineup.

This isn’t just a gimmick. The touch screen provides smartphone-level clarity, allowing you to adjust wattage, monitor battery life, check your puff count, and customise themes and animations with a simple tap or swipe. It makes the Xlim 3 Ultra feel genuinely modern – like the tech-forward device it is.

Key Features

1,500mAh battery – Significantly bigger than the Xlim Go, lasting up to 4 days on a single charge with moderate use. It reaches 80% charge in just 30 minutes via USB-C fast charging.
2.2″ HD full touch screen – Crystal-clear display with customisable themes, animations, and real-time vaping data. It’s incredibly intuitive, even for those who aren’t particularly tech-savvy.
Super Pulse System chipset – OXVA’s latest technology delivers stable, consistent power output from first puff to last, preventing the flavour drop-off that can happen as battery depletes on lesser devices.
UniTech 2.0 coil technology – Delivers up to 50% more flavour and extends pod lifespan by 30% compared to earlier Xlim pods.
Smart VW mode – Automatically adjusts wattage to match your coil, or switch to manual mode for full 5–30W control.
Dual activation – Both draw-activated and button-fired, with a physical lock switch to prevent accidental misfires in your pocket.
Full Xlim pod compatibility – Works with all OXVA Xlim V2, V3 and EZ series pods. The included V3 top-fill pods hold 2ml (TPD compliant) and come in 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm options.
Eight premium colourways – Metal Grey, Metal Silver, Cherry Pink, Mint Green, Ultra Carbon, Mocha Brown, Midnight Black, and Bordeaux Red.

Who Is It For?

The Xlim 3 Ultra is perfect for vapers who want a step up from basic pod kits without moving to a full mod setup. The touch screen is particularly great for anyone with dexterity issues who finds tiny buttons fiddly, and the large clear display makes it easy to see your settings at a glance. It’s equally at home with nic salts for a tight MTL draw or standard e-liquids for a slightly airier restricted direct-lung (RDL) style.

#3 Best Traditional Style: Aspire PockeX Box Kit

Battery: 2,000mAh | Style: MTL Tank & Coil Kit | Best For: Vapers who prefer a separate tank and coil system

👉 View the Aspire PockeX Box Kit | PockeX Replacement Coils

Why We Recommend It

Some things stand the test of time, and the Aspire PockeX is one of them. This device has been a staple in vape shops across Southampton and the wider UK for years, and for good reason – it just works. While pod kits have taken the spotlight in recent years, there’s still a significant number of vapers who prefer the traditional tank-and-coil approach, and the PockeX Box Kit is the best way to get into it.

Unlike pod systems where the coil is built into the pod, the PockeX uses a separate tank with replaceable coils. This gives you a different kind of flexibility – you can change just the coil when flavour fades rather than the entire pod, and many vapers find the flavour from a traditional coil setup to be richer and more consistent over time.

Key Features

2,000mAh internal battery – The largest battery of our three picks. This will comfortably last even heavy vapers a full day, and moderate users may get two days between charges.
Sliding leak-proof top fill – Aspire spent years refining this system based on customer feedback. Simply slide the top cap, fill with your chosen e-liquid, and slide it closed. No mess, no fuss.
Smooth adjustable airflow – Dial in your preferred draw tightness with the airflow ring at the base of the tank.
Replaceable coils – Available in 0.6ohm and 1.2ohm options. The 1.2ohm coil provides a tight MTL draw ideal for nic salts, while the 0.6ohm offers slightly more vapour production.
Proven reliability – The PockeX platform has been refined over multiple generations. It’s one of the most trusted starter kits in the UK vaping market.

Who Is It For?

The PockeX Box Kit is the perfect choice for vapers who prefer the traditional approach of a separate tank and coil system. If you’ve used a vape pen before and liked it, or if you’d rather change a coil than swap a whole pod, this is your device. Its massive battery also makes it a solid pick for heavy vapers who don’t want to worry about charging mid-day. Pop into our Totton, Hythe or Holbury store and our team will happily show you how to set it up and choose the right coils and e-liquids for your taste.

How to Choose Your First Vape Kit

If you’re still unsure which device is right for you, here’s a quick decision guide:

Want the simplest, cheapest option? Go with the OXVA Xlim Go 2. It’s the easiest route into vaping with a huge battery and incredible value for money.
Want more control and a premium touch screen? The OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra gives you adjustable wattage, smart features, and a stunning display without the complexity of a full mod.
Prefer a traditional tank and coil system? The Aspire PockeX Box Kit is a proven performer with the biggest battery of the three and replaceable coils for long-term value.

Whatever you choose, pair it with the right e-liquid for the best experience. We recommend nicotine salts for pod kits like the Xlim Go 2 and Xlim 3 Ultra – they deliver smooth nicotine satisfaction that closely replicates the feeling of smoking. For the PockeX, either nic salts or standard 50/50 e-liquids work beautifully depending on your coil choice.

top ten most asked questions about vaping

Is Vaping Worse Than Smoking?

This is perhaps the most important question we receive at our in-store and online vape shop, and the answer is clear: vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes.

According to Public Health England, vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking. This finding has been supported by numerous independent studies and remains the cornerstone of the UK’s harm reduction approach to tobacco.

When you smoke a cigarette, combustion releases over 7,000 chemicals, including tar, carbon monoxide, and dozens of carcinogens. Vaping, by contrast, heats e-liquid to produce vapour without combustion, dramatically reducing exposure to these harmful substances.

The NHS actively recommends vaping as a quit-smoking tool, and stop smoking services across the UK—including Smoke Free Hampshire, which works alongside our vape shops—often suggest vaping as an effective way to transition away from tobacco.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Buy a Vape in the UK?

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years old to purchase vaping products. This includes e-cigarettes, vape kits, e-liquids, and all related accessories.

At White Vape Co, we take age verification seriously. Whether you visit our vape shop in Hythe, Holbury, or Totton, or purchase from our online vape shop at whitevapeco.uk, we operate a Challenge 25 policy. This means if you look under 25, you’ll be asked for valid photo ID before completing your purchase.

It’s also illegal to buy vaping products on behalf of someone under 18. These regulations exist to protect young people, and as a responsible UK vape shop, we’re committed to upholding them.

What Happens When You Quit Smoking and Start Vaping?

Making the switch from cigarettes to vaping triggers a remarkable recovery process in your body. Here’s what many of our customers experience:

Within 24 hours: Carbon monoxide levels in your blood drop to normal, and your lungs begin clearing mucus.

Within 2-12 weeks: Circulation improves, and lung function begins to recover. Many people notice they can breathe more easily and have more energy.

Within 3-9 months: Coughing and wheezing reduce significantly. The cilia in your lungs regenerate, improving their ability to fight infection.

Long term: Your risk of heart disease and stroke continues to decrease. Your sense of taste and smell improve noticeably.

Many customers who visit our Southampton area vape shops tell us they wish they’d made the switch sooner. The key is finding the right device and nicotine strength—something our knowledgeable staff can help with in store or via our online vape shop.

How Many Cigarettes Are in a Vape?

This is a tricky question because vaping and smoking deliver nicotine differently. However, we can provide some helpful comparisons.

A typical disposable vape with 2ml of 20mg/ml e-liquid contains roughly the same amount of nicotine as 20-40 cigarettes, though absorption rates differ. Most disposable vapes are rated for approximately 600 puffs, which many users find equivalent to about one to two packs of cigarettes in terms of satisfaction.

For refillable devices, a 10ml bottle of e-liquid at 20mg/ml strength contains 200mg of nicotine total. Since a single cigarette delivers roughly 1-2mg of absorbed nicotine, a 10ml bottle might be roughly equivalent to 100-200 cigarettes—though individual vaping habits vary considerably.

The staff at our vape shops in Hythe, Holbury, and Totton can help you find the right nicotine strength based on your current smoking habits, ensuring a smooth transition.

Why Does My Vape Taste Burnt?

A burnt taste is one of the most common complaints we hear at our UK vape shop, and it’s usually easy to fix. Here are the main causes:

Dry wicking material: If you vape before the wick is properly saturated, it burns the cotton. Always prime new coils by adding a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton and waiting several minutes before your first puff.

Low e-liquid levels: When your tank runs low, the wick can’t absorb liquid properly. Keep your tank at least one-quarter full.

Chain vaping: Taking puffs in rapid succession doesn’t give the wick time to re-saturate. Wait 15-20 seconds between puffs.

Worn-out coils: Coils don’t last forever. Most need replacing every one to four weeks, depending on usage. If cleaning doesn’t help, it’s time for a new coil.

Wrong power settings: Using wattage that’s too high for your coil will burn the wick. Check your coil’s recommended range and stay within it.

Pop into any of our vape shops in Southampton and we’ll help diagnose the problem—often it’s a simple fix that’ll have you vaping smoothly again in minutes.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Disposable Vapes?

With the 2025 ban on disposable vapes now in effect in the UK, many vapers are looking for sustainable alternatives. The good news is that reusable systems often provide a better experience whilst being kinder to both your wallet and the environment.

Pod systems: These compact devices use refillable or replaceable pods. They’re just as portable and convenient as disposables but create far less waste. Many offer a similar draw style to disposables, making the transition seamless.

Vape pens: Slightly larger than pod systems, vape pens offer excellent battery life and often feature adjustable settings. They’re perfect for intermediate users who want more control.

Refillable bar-style devices: These look and feel like disposables but can be refilled and recharged. You get the familiar form factor with none of the waste.

At our online vape shop and in-store locations, we stock a wide range of alternatives to disposables. Our staff can recommend the perfect device based on your preferences and budget.

Can You Take a Vape on a Plane?

Yes, you can travel with your vape, but there are important rules to follow:

Carry-on only: Vaping devices containing lithium batteries must be packed in your hand luggage, never in checked baggage. This is an international aviation safety requirement.

E-liquid restrictions: E-liquids count towards your liquid allowance. Each container must be 100ml or less and fit in your clear, resealable liquids bag.

No vaping on board: Vaping is prohibited on all commercial flights. This includes using the toilet—smoke detectors will detect vapour and you may face serious penalties.

Check your destination: Vaping laws vary dramatically by country. Some destinations ban vaping products entirely, whilst others have restrictions on nicotine content. Research before you travel.

Before your trip, pop into our vape shop in Hythe, Holbury, or Totton—we can advise on travel-friendly devices and help you prepare for your journey.

Can You Vape When Pregnant?

Important: This is a question for your midwife or doctor, and we always recommend seeking professional medical advice.

That said, here’s what UK health authorities currently advise: whilst the safest option during pregnancy is to be completely nicotine-free, if you’re struggling to quit smoking, vaping is considered significantly less harmful than continuing to smoke.

Smoking during pregnancy carries serious risks including premature birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth. If vaping helps you stop smoking when other methods haven’t worked, it may be the lesser harm—but this is a decision to make with your healthcare provider.

Stop smoking services, including those partnered with our Southampton vape shops, offer free, confidential support for pregnant women looking to quit. They can discuss all options, including nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural support.

Does Vaping Make You Lose Weight?

This question often comes from smokers who’ve heard that quitting cigarettes leads to weight gain. Let’s separate fact from fiction.

Nicotine is a mild appetite suppressant, which is partly why some smokers gain weight when they quit—they’re no longer getting that effect, and they may snack more as a replacement habit. If you switch from smoking to vaping, you’re still getting nicotine, which may help manage appetite during the transition.

However, vaping should never be viewed as a weight loss tool. It’s not designed for this purpose, and the health effects of using nicotine products solely for weight management haven’t been studied extensively.

Many ex-smokers who switch to vaping report that having something to do with their hands and mouth helps prevent the snacking that often accompanies quitting. This behavioural aspect can be just as important as the nicotine itself.

How to Quit Vaping

For many people, vaping serves as a stepping stone away from cigarettes—and eventually, away from nicotine altogether. If you’ve reached the point where you want to quit vaping, here’s a sensible approach:

Gradually reduce nicotine strength: This is the most comfortable method. If you’re using 20mg e-liquid, step down to 12mg, then 6mg, then 3mg, and finally 0mg. Take as long as you need at each stage—there’s no rush.

Reduce frequency: Once you’re comfortable on lower nicotine levels, start extending the time between vaping sessions. Leave your device at home for short trips, then longer ones.

Find replacement habits: The hand-to-mouth action becomes ingrained. Chewing gum, drinking water, or keeping your hands busy can help manage the behavioural aspect.

Seek support: Stop smoking services also help people quit vaping. Free NHS support is available, and behavioural therapy significantly improves success rates.

At our UK vape shops, we stock a full range of nicotine strengths to support your journey, whatever direction it takes. Our staff have helped countless customers both start and eventually stop vaping.
