Choosing the right vape juice

Halo 10ml E-Liquid

Regular 10ml vape juice

Regular 10ml (also known as freebase) vape juices are available in a range of nicotine levels, from 0mg (0%) to 20mg (2%).

We find these vape juices are best for vapers who prefer a strong throat hit. We also recommend them for vapers who prefer a low nicotine vape juice. They work best with low powered vape devices.

Halo Max

Nicotine salts

Nicotine salts use the natural form of nicotine found in the tobacco leaf, and carry a smoother throat hit than regular 10ml e-liquids.

We recommend these e-liquids for vapers who prefer a gentle throat hit. They work particularly well at stronger nicotine levels such as 20mg (2%), which can taste harsh in regular e-liquid format. As with 10ml e-liquids, these work best with low powered devices.

Vampire Vape Bar Salts

Bar Salts

Bar salts are nicotine salts with a stronger, sweeter, more concentrated flavour. They work best for disposable users switching to refillable devices.

Where possible, we advise matching them to the disposable range and flavour you like. For example, if you use SKE Crystal Bar disposables and wish to switch to refillable devices, try picking a matching flavour from the Crystal Plus range.

Just Juice Shortfills

Shortfills

Shortfills are larger bottles of nicotine-free e-liquid. They have oversized bottles, allowing you to add your own nicotine (in the form of nic shots).

These e-liquids work best with higher powered devices such as mods and pod mods. They typically come with higher VG ratios, which means they are great for blowing larger clouds of vapour. We recommend them for more experienced vapers.

The VG:PG ratio tells you how much vegetable glycerine (VG) there is compared to the amount of propylene glycol (PG). These colourless alcohols are responsible for the vapour produced by your vape device, but there are subtle differences between the two.
