The consumable side of vaping. Here we organise everything by what really matters when you choose: nicotine strength, bottle size in ml and flavour family. Nic salts are the usual choice for low-power pods because they are smoother on the throat; 100 ml shortfill e-liquids work out cheaper per millilitre; nic shots and base liquids are for those who prefer to mix their own. Since 1 April 2025, e-liquids carry a special excise tax, which is already included in the price you see.
Standard e-liquid, nic salts and longfill
Standard e-liquid contains freebase nicotine and works well in mid-power devices. Nic salts are smoother on the throat at the same strength in milligrams, so they are the norm in low-power pods. And the longfill format, together with nic shots and base liquids, lets you make your own e-liquid and lower the cost per millilitre.
Since 2026, the special tax is €0.20 per millilitre on e-liquids with nicotine and €0.10 on those without, which has made pre-mixed bottles more expensive and boosted longfill. By law, bottles with nicotine hold 10 ml at most and cannot exceed 20 mg/ml.
Frequently asked questions
Nic salts or standard e-liquid?
Nic salts if you vape with a low-power pod: the nicotine feels smoother at high strengths. Standard e-liquid if you use a higher-wattage device and want more vapour.
Which strength should I choose?
20 mg/ml is the legal maximum and the usual choice in pods; 10 mg/ml for moderate use.
What is a longfill?
A bottle of concentrated flavouring to which you add base liquid and, if you want nicotine, a nic shot. It works out considerably cheaper per millilitre than pre-mixed e-liquid.
If you are looking for the device rather than the e-liquid, see refillable pod kits and disposable vapes.
