    Most Popular Vape Flavours in the UK: Blue Razz, Strawberry, Watermelon and More

    With hundreds of e-liquids and prefilled pods to choose from, the flavour is usually what decides a purchase. These are the flavour families UK vapers search for most, what each one tastes like, and where to find them in our range. Every product here is TPD-compliant and for adults aged 18 and over.

    Quick guide: UK flavour families

    Flavour Taste profile Often found as

    1. Blue razz

    Blue razz is one of the UK’s best-selling vape flavours. It tastes like blue raspberry sweets: sugary with a sharp edge. Many versions add a cooling “ice” note, such as blue razz lemonade or blue razz ice.

    • Shortfills (50ml to 200ml, 0mg): for sub-ohm tanks. Add a nic shot if you want nicotine; see how to add a nic shot.
    • Prefilled pods: no refilling needed. Just click in a new pod. See big puff vapes.

  • Mesh Coils vs Standard Coils: What Is the Difference? (UK Guide)

    Mesh Coils vs Standard Coils: What Is the Difference? (UK Guide)

    Almost every new tank and pod kit now ships with a mesh coil. But what is the difference between mesh and a standard wire coil, and is it worth switching? This guide explains how each type works, the pros and cons, and how to pick the right resistance for your kit.

    What is a mesh coil?

    A standard coil uses a round wire wound into a spiral. A mesh coil uses a flat strip or sheet of metal mesh instead. The mesh has a much larger surface touching the cotton, so it heats more evenly and more e-liquid is vaporised at once.

    SMOK TFV16 Mesh Coils (Pack of 3)
    SMOK TFV16 Mesh Coils — a popular mesh coil for sub-ohm tanks — from £9.99. View product

    Mesh vs standard coils at a glance

    Mesh coil Standard wire coil
    Heat-up Fast and even Can take a moment; hot spots possible
    Flavour Usually fuller and more consistent Good, but can fade sooner
    Vapour More vapour at the same power Less vapour
    E-liquid use Higher Lower
    Battery use Higher on sub-ohm coils Lower
    Lifespan Often longer, as heat is spread out Varies with liquid and power

    Which resistance should I choose?

    • 0.8 ohm and above (MTL): a tighter, cigarette-style draw. Best with nic salts or higher-strength freebase.
    • 0.4 to 0.6 ohm (restricted DL): a looser draw with more vapour. Works with lower-strength liquids.
    • Below 0.3 ohm (sub-ohm DL): big clouds at higher wattage. Use 3mg or 6mg shortfills or freebase, never 20mg nic salt.

    Always stay within the wattage range printed on the coil or its box.

    Geekvape M Series Coil ( Pack of 5 )
    Geekvape M Series Coils — mesh coils for Geekvape Aegis tanks — from £18.99. View product

    Does my kit take mesh coils?

    Coils are made for specific tanks or pods, so a mesh coil only fits if it is from your tank’s coil family. Many families include both mesh and standard versions, for example SMOK RPM and Geekvape M and Z series. Check our guide on which coil fits my vape kit before you buy.

    Freemax 904L X Mesh Replacement Coils (Pack of 5)
    FreeMax 904L X Mesh Replacement Coils — from £18.99. View product

    Getting the best from a mesh coil

    1. Prime it. Drip a few drops on the cotton, fill the tank and wait five to ten minutes. See how to change and prime a coil.
    2. Start low. Begin at the bottom of the wattage range and work up.
    3. Keep it topped up. Mesh uses liquid quickly, so do not let the tank run nearly dry.
    4. Watch sweet liquids. Very sweet e-liquids gunk coils faster.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do mesh coils last longer?

    Often, yes, because the heat is spread over a larger area. Your liquid, wattage and how much you vape still matter most.

    Why does my mesh coil taste burnt?

    Usually because it was not primed, the wattage is too high, or the tank ran low. Replace it if the taste stays.

    Can I use nic salts with a mesh coil?

    Yes, with mesh coils rated 0.8 ohm or higher on low power. Avoid nic salts on sub-ohm mesh coils.

  • Big Puff Vapes UK: How 6000 to 20k Puff Pod Kits Work (2026 Guide)

    Big Puff Vapes UK: How 6000 to 20k Puff Pod Kits Work (2026 Guide)

    Since single-use disposables were banned in the UK on 1 June 2025, “big puff” vapes have become one of the most searched categories. These are rechargeable prefilled pod kits and pod-swap devices that promise 6,000, 10,000 or even 20,000 puffs. This guide explains how they work within UK rules, what the puff numbers really mean, and how to choose one.

    What is a big puff vape?

    A big puff vape is a rechargeable device with replaceable prefilled pods. You charge the battery with a USB-C cable and swap the pod when it runs out, instead of throwing the whole device away. Most use a mesh coil built into each pod, so every new pod gives you a fresh coil too.

    Feoba Big Bar 6000 Puffs Prefilled Vape Device
    Feoba Big Bar 6000 — a popular rechargeable big puff device — from £11.99. View product

    How can a 20,000 puff vape be legal in the UK?

    UK rules (TPD) limit the e-liquid tank in use to 2ml and nicotine strength to 20mg/ml. High-puff devices stay within these rules by storing extra e-liquid in separate sealed pods or refill containers, which then feed or replace the 2ml tank. You get more vaping from one pack, but the tank you are vaping from is still 2ml.

    Instamax - Instaflow 20k Prefilled Vape Device
    Instamax Instaflow 20k — high capacity using refill containers — from £14.99. View product

    What do puff counts really mean?

    Puff counts are manufacturer estimates based on short, even lab puffs. Real-world numbers vary a lot with how long each draw lasts and how often you vape. As a rough guide, a single 2ml pod tends to last a moderate vaper one to three days. If you take long draws, expect fewer puffs than the box says.

    Popular big puff devices

    Device Type Good for
    Fisco Point Pro 7000 Prefilled pod kit Low starting price, cheap replacement pods
    SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled pod kit Familiar Crystal flavours in a rechargeable kit
    Feoba Big Bar 6000 Prefilled device Simple, no-buttons use
    Instamax Instaflow 20k High-capacity device Fewer swaps per week
    Bloody Bar Ultra Twist 20000 High-capacity device Switching between flavours

    SKE Crystal CL6000 prefilled pod kit — from £7.99. View product

    How to choose the right big puff vape

    • Check the pod cost. The kit is a one-off; pods are the ongoing cost. A cheap kit with pricey pods can cost more over a month.
    • Pick your nicotine strength. Most prefilled pods are 20mg nic salt. Some ranges offer 10mg.
    • Look at battery size and charging. USB-C fast charging is now standard. Larger batteries mean fewer charges a day.
    • Buy multipacks if you vape daily. Packs of five or ten cut the price per device or pod. See our vape multipacks.

    Bloody Bar Ultra Twist 20000 — from £12.99. View product

    Prefer to refill yourself?

    Many big puff ranges have matching 10ml nic salt e-liquids in the same flavours. If you want the lowest cost per ml, a refillable pod kit with a nic salt is usually cheaper again. Read our guide to refillable vs prefilled pod kits and how long a prefilled pod lasts.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are big puff vapes disposable?

    No. The ones we sell are rechargeable and use replaceable pods or refill containers, which is why they remain on sale after the disposable ban.

    Can I recycle the pods?

    Yes. Take used pods and old devices to a vape or small electrical recycling point. Do not put them in household bins.

    Do you sell big puff vapes wholesale?

    Yes. Trade customers can buy in boxes and multipacks. Open a trade account for wholesale pricing.

    Elf Liq vs Elux Legend vs SKE Crystal Nic Salts: Bar-Style Salts Compared

    Bar-style nic salts are 10ml e-liquids made to taste like the popular bar vapes. They let you keep the flavours you know while using a refillable pod kit, which is usually cheaper to run. Three of the biggest names are Elf Liq from Elf Bar, Elux Legend nic salts and SKE Crystal nic salts.

    Flavour style Matches Elf Bar flavours Matches Elux Legend flavours Matches SKE Crystal flavours
    Best device Low-power refillable pod kits, coils around 0.8Ω and above

    Elf Liq

    Elf Liq is Elf Bar’s own nic salt range, designed to recreate its well-known bar flavours in a bottle. A good choice if you are moving from Elf Bar devices to a refillable kit. Shop Elf Bar.

    Elux Legend nic salts

    Elux Legend salts follow the flavour range of Elux Legend devices, with plenty of fruit and ice blends. Shop Elux.

    SKE Crystal nic salts

    SKE Crystal salts match the flavours of the SKE Crystal range, one of the UK’s best-known bar brands. Shop SKE Crystal.

    Which is best?

    There is no single winner. The best bar salt is usually the one that matches the device flavours you already enjoy. All three come in the same bottle size and strengths and work in the same kits. If you are unsure, try a few flavours from each brand.

    Getting the best from bar salts

    • Use a low-power pod kit such as the Caliburn, XROS or Xlim. See our pod kit comparison.
    • Choose 20mg for a feel closest to a bar vape, or 10mg for a lighter hit. See our strength guide.
    • Prime new pods and coils before vaping.

    Browse all nic salts, or go straight to 20mg and 10mg.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do bar salts taste exactly like the device?

    They are made to be very close, but the pod kit and coil you use also affect flavour.

    Can I use bar salts in a prefilled pod?

    No. Prefilled pods are not designed to be refilled. Use bar salts in a refillable pod kit.

    Are bar salts cheaper than prefilled pods?

    Per ml they are usually cheaper, as one 10ml bottle fills five 2ml pods.

  • Best-Selling Prefilled Pod Flavours: A Stocking Guide for UK Retailers

    Best-Selling Prefilled Pod Flavours: A Stocking Guide for UK Retailers

    With hundreds of prefilled pods and nic salts on the market, deciding what to stock can be hard. This guide groups flavours into the families that sell most consistently in the UK, so you can build a range that moves fast without tying up cash.

    The core flavour families

    Flavour family Typical examples Why it sells
    Berry mixes Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Blackberry Raspberry, Cherry Berry The best-known bar-style profile
    Ice and menthol Blue Razz Ice, Grape Ice, Menthol Strong repeat buyers
    Single fruits Watermelon, Strawberry, Grape, Lemon Lime Easy to recognise on shelf
    Drinks Cola, Lemonade, Energy blends A steady seller across brands
    Tobacco and mint Tobacco, Butter Mints, Spearmint Smaller share but very loyal buyers

    How to build your range

    1. Start with the top brands. Customers ask for Elf Bar, Lost Mary, SKE Crystal, IVG, Hayati and Elux by name.
    2. Cover every flavour family in each brand, with extra depth in berry and ice flavours.
    3. Stock the matching pods for every kit you sell. Pod reorders are where repeat sales come from. See our pod compatibility chart.
    4. Carry the same flavours as nic salts for customers who move to refillable kits. Bar-style nic salts such as Elf Liq, Elux Legend salts and SKE Crystal salts are made to match.
    5. Offer both strengths where available: 20mg sells most, but keep some 10mg.

    Reordering tips

    • Review sales every week and reorder your top 10 lines first.
    • Drop slow flavours after a month and test a new one in their place.
    • Keep a small stock of tobacco and menthol, as these buyers rarely switch.
    • Check duty stamps on new stock from 1 October 2026.

    Open a trade account to see wholesale pricing on prefilled pods, prefilled pod kits and nic salts.

    Frequently asked questions

    How many flavours should a small shop stock?

    Many small shops start with 10 to 15 flavours per top brand, covering every flavour family, then grow the range based on sales.

    Are flavour names the same across brands?

    Not always. Similar profiles may have different names, so group stock by flavour family rather than name.

    Do flavoured vapes have any new rules?

    Flavour and display rules are under review in the UK. Keep displays factual and check the latest government guidance.

  • UK Vape Rules After the Disposable Ban: What Shops Can Sell in 2026

    UK Vape Rules After the Disposable Ban: What Shops Can Sell in 2026

    The rules for selling vapes in the UK have changed a lot since 2025. If you run a vape shop, convenience store or newsagent, this checklist covers what you can stock in 2026 and what to watch out for. It is a summary, not legal advice, so always check the latest guidance from the government and your local Trading Standards.

    1. Single-use vapes are banned

    Since 1 June 2025, it has been illegal to sell or supply single-use (disposable) vapes anywhere in the UK, whether they contain nicotine or not. A vape must be rechargeable and refillable or have replaceable pods to be sold. That is why the market has moved to:

    2. Product limits (TRPR)

    Rule Limit
    Nicotine strength Maximum 20mg/ml
    Nicotine e-liquid bottle Maximum 10ml
    Tank or pod capacity Maximum 2ml
    Notification Nicotine products must be notified to the MHRA

    Shortfills with no nicotine can be sold in larger bottles.

    3. Vaping Products Duty and duty stamps

    From 1 October 2026, all vaping liquids carry a duty of £2.20 per 10ml, with a duty stamp on the packaging. Eligible unstamped stock can be sold until 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2027, only stamped products can be sold. Buy from suppliers who can show the stamp and keep your purchase records. Our duty guide has more detail.

    4. Age of sale

    It is illegal to sell vaping products to anyone under 18. Many shops use a Challenge 25 policy, train staff, and keep a refusals log. Online sellers must use age verification at checkout.

    5. Advertising

    Nicotine vape advertising is heavily restricted in the UK, including on social media. Keep in-store and online information factual.

    Stocking compliant products

    We focus on rechargeable and refillable products within UK limits. Open a trade account to see wholesale pricing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I still sell my old disposable stock?

    No. Selling single-use vapes has been illegal since 1 June 2025, including old stock.

    Do 0mg products need a duty stamp?

    Yes. The Vaping Products Duty applies to all vaping liquids, with or without nicotine.

    Are 10K and 15K prefilled pod kits legal?

    Yes, if they are rechargeable, use pods of no more than 2ml and any refill bottles are 10ml or less.

    Vapes Direct Wholesale sells to adults aged 18 and over only. Vaping products containing nicotine are not for use by non-smokers. This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance.

  • How Long Does a Prefilled Pod Last?

    How Long Does a Prefilled Pod Last?

    It is one of the questions we are asked most: how long will one prefilled pod last? The honest answer is that it depends on how you vape, but there are some useful rules of thumb.

    How much liquid is in a prefilled pod?

    UK law (TRPR) limits a pod or tank to 2ml of nicotine e-liquid. So whichever brand you buy, each prefilled pod holds up to 2ml.

    How many puffs is that?

    Brands often quote around 600 puffs per 2ml. Puff counts are lab estimates based on short, even puffs. Longer or harder draws use more liquid, so most people get fewer puffs than the box says.

    How many days?

    How you vape Typical life of one 2ml pod
    Light (a few times a day) 2 to 3 days
    Moderate About 1 to 2 days
    Heavy Less than a day

    What about 10K, 15K and 30K kits?

    Kits with very high puff numbers do not have bigger pods. They hit that figure by including extra pods or a refill container of e-liquid alongside the 2ml pod. The total puff count covers all the liquid in the pack. Our pod compatibility guide explains which refill packs fit which kit.

    Signs your pod is finished

    • The flavour gets weak or tastes slightly burnt.
    • You can see that the liquid window is empty.
    • The device flashes or stops firing even when charged.

    Tips to make each pod last longer

    • Take shorter, gentler puffs.
    • Keep the battery charged. A low battery can make the pod feel weak and you may draw harder.
    • Store pods upright and away from heat.
    • Consider a refillable kit if you vape heavily. See prefilled vs refillable costs.

    Stock up on prefilled pods from Elf Bar, Lost Mary, SKE, IVG, Hayati and Elux.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is 600 puffs the same in every pod?

    No. 600 puffs is an estimate. Your actual number depends on how long and how hard you draw.

    Does the battery run out before the pod?

    On many kits the battery needs charging once or twice per pod. Charge it with the cable supplied.

    Can I swap a half-used pod for another flavour?

    Yes, on most prefilled pod kits you can remove a pod and put it back later. Store it upright with the cap on.

    Coil Finder: Which Coil Fits My Vaporesso, Uwell, Voopoo, Aspire, SMOK or Geekvape Kit?

    Coils wear out, and when they do, flavour fades and you may get a burnt taste. Buying the right replacement is simple once you know which coil family your kit or tank uses. This guide shows how to find it.

    Step 1: find your kit or tank name

    The coil fits the tank or pod, not the battery. Look on the tank, the pod or the original box for the model name. If you have a kit with a separate tank, the tank name is what matters.

    Step 2: match the coil family

    Brand Common coil or pod family Used in
    Vaporesso XROS pods; GTX coils XROS pod kits; many Vaporesso kits and tanks
    Uwell Caliburn pods (model-specific) Caliburn pod kits; buy the pod named for your model
    OXVA XLIM pods (V2, V3, EZ) Xlim pod kits
    Voopoo PnP coils Many Voopoo Drag, Vinci and Argus kits
    Aspire BVC, Nautilus, Cleito coils Nautilus tanks, Cleito tanks and matching kits
    SMOK RPM, Nord and TFV coils RPM and Nord pod kits; TFV tanks
    Geekvape Z series and Boost coils Z tanks and Aegis Boost kits
    Innokin, Eleaf, Freemax Model-specific coils Check the tank name on the coil box

    Coil families include several versions, so always check the product page to confirm the coil lists your model. Browse all coils and replacement pods, or shop by brand: Vaporesso, Uwell, Voopoo, Aspire, SMOK and Geekvape.

    Step 3: choose the right resistance

    Resistance Style Best liquid
    1.0Ω and above Mouth to lung (MTL), tight draw 10mg to 20mg nic salts
    0.6Ω to 0.9Ω MTL to restricted lung Nic salts or 50/50 e-liquid
    Below 0.5Ω (sub-ohm) Direct lung, bigger vapour High-VG shortfills at low strength

    Tips for a longer coil life

    • Prime every new coil before use. Read our coil priming guide.
    • Do not vape when the tank or pod is nearly empty.
    • Use a liquid that suits the coil resistance.

    Frequently asked questions

    How often should I change my coil?

    Most coils last one to two weeks. Change it when the flavour fades or you taste burning.

    Can I use a different brand’s coil in my tank?

    Usually not. Coils are made for specific tanks or pods. Some brands share a coil family across models, but always check the coil lists your device.

    Why does my new coil taste burnt?

    The coil was probably not primed. Let the cotton soak for five to ten minutes before vaping and start on low power.
