Wick Liquor Solstice Pulsar
Best Menthol E-liquid
Features We Love
Super Size
Massive 100ml shortfill in a 120ml bottle
Free Nic
Comes with two complimentary nicotine shots
Berry Nice
Perfect combo of sweet and sour berries with a cool edge
I’m a big fan of berry vapes, and with such a wide array of berry flavours on offer, oftentimes, I don’t want to have to pick between them.
Pulsar by Wick Liquor provided me with a flavour combo I never knew I was missing, enhancing the common blend of sour raspberries and mellow blueberries with a handful of luscious grapes as well.
The menthol addition was a logical one, as I personally don’t know anyone who dislikes frozen grapes and blueberries, and these result in an excellent sweet menthol e-liquid. The icy edge seems to bring out the natural sweetness by way of contrast, making it all the more flavoursome.
Plus, its 80VG content results in some of the largest clouds you can produce!
Pros
- Huge amount of e-liquid in one container
- Comes with complimentary nicotine shots
- Can also be acquired as a 10ml nicotine salt
Cons
- Not pocket friendly but fits in your bag perfectly
- Requires extra shots and larger bottle for higher strength than 3mg
Nasty Modmate Watermelon Ice
Best for: Fruity
Features We Love
Tropi-Cool: Delicious paradise melon with cooling ice note
Not So Nasty: From e-liquid legends Nasty Juice
Shrink It Down: Also available as 10ml nic salt from the Nasty Podmate range
Pairing fruits and menthol is a no-brainer, as cooler fruits tend to have a more crisp and intense flavour. As a result of this, I was very excited to try Watermelon Ice from the Nasty Modmate range, as if there’s one thing Nasty Juice know, it’s how to sweeten a fruity vape with their Malaysian-style brewing methods.
The watermelon flavour comes rushing out with full force, powered up with characteristic Nasty Juice sweeteners, while the menthol note comes in around the sides, frosting the tropical juice flavour delicately and delivering an almost soda-like profile.
You can also get a Nasty Modmate Watermelon nic salt if you prefer a less cloudy vape at higher strengths, making the best fruit menthol vape juice in the UK accessible to all!
Aisu Menthol Tobacco
Best for: Tobacco
Features We Love
A New Port: Perfectly replicates the taste of menthol cigarettes and filters
Toasted & Frozen: Rich and earthy tobacco flavour paired with cool, airy menthol
TPD OK: Helpful way to bypass TPD restrictions on menthol smoking
If you’re from the UK, you’re likely aware that menthol cigarettes and filters are much harder to come by now due to the Tobacco Products Directive. I myself used to exclusively smoke rolling tobacco with menthol filters, and can imagine how much it would irritate me to have this taken away.
Luckily, Menthol Tobacco from ZAP’s AISU Tokyo Series is the best menthol tobacco vape juice that lets me enjoy that old-school menthol cigarette refreshment. The tobacco flavour comes on rich and earthy but not too strong, similar to a hand-rolled. The tobacco taste is ensconced within halls of cool and ethereal menthol that gently blanch your throat without being so cold as to be offputting.
And while cigarette smokers may find the switch to a 70VG juice a bit tricky, you can also acquire the Aisu Tokyo Series Menthol Tobacco nic salt.
Pros
- Perfect for any menthol smoker looking for vape alternative
- Comes with a free ZAP! Nic Salt Shot for 3mg strength
- Can also be purchased as a 10ml nic salt in higher nic strengths
Cons
- Tricky to increase strength beyond 3mg which may frustrate chain smokers
- Not an attractive flavour combo for those who never smoked menthols
Yeti 3K Icy Cherry Cola
Best for: Beverage
Features We Love
Soda Style: Enjoy a classic sparkling dark soda without teeth or weight worries
Chéri Cherry : Classic pairing of sour cherry juice and sweet cola soda
In Their Wheelhouse: Part of a range of exclusively iced vape juices
Now THIS had me excited! Cherry cola is easily my favourite soda flavour, so I was very keen to see how well Yeti 3K conveyed the deliriously sweet and sour tang of dark cola with a cheeky cherry twist with their Icy Cherry Cola Bar Salt.
Yeti 3K’s use of coolants across all their juices works excellently in this particular e-liquid, as it gives it that straight-from-the-fridge chill that refreshed me after every puff of cherry-infused dark soda bliss.
I felt it could have possibly used a light touch of sherbert flavour to capture the ‘fizz’ of soda, but otherwise, it stands as perhaps the closest a vape juice has ever come to capturing my favourite drink flavour, to the extent that it actually left me feeling rather thirsty!
Pros
- Classic fruity cola flavour combination
- Icy addition gives it that ‘fresh from the cooler’ edge
- 60VG content still perfect for MTL but slightly less harsh on the throat
Cons
- A light touch of sherbert might have added the ‘fizzing’ element
- May leave you feeling thirsty
ELFLIQ Spearmint
Best for: Spearmint
Features We Love
Snow Piercing: Sharp and lively spearmint flavour
Elf Excellence: Produced by Elf Bar with their characteristic great flavour
Ditch Disposables: Great choice for any vapers looking to move away from disposables
While I love the fiery and slightly candified profile of peppermint, spearmint is an altogether different sensation. Sharp, cool, and with a more botanical profile, it’s a better choice for when you want a vape that’ll send a forceful kick of wakefulness through your system.
Spearmint Nic Salt from the Elf Bar Elfliq range demonstrates a remarkable level of restraint in regard to the sweeteners Elf Bar are known for, instead letting the cool herb’s sharpness take centre stage. While fans of sweet vapes might want to choose a different e-juice, you’ll love Spearmint Nic Salt if invigoration is what you seek from your daily puff.
With Elf Bar’s Elfliq range of menthol-flavoured e-liquids, I can enjoy the brand’s flavourful menthols with my Vaporesso XROS (and other MTL vape kits) in a way that is more affordable than vaping their disposables.
Pros
- Sharp spearmint flavour with a refreshingly cool menthol note
- Popular disposable flavour now for your refillable vape
- Managed use of flavourings to avoid excessive sweetness
Cons
- Disposable vape fans may expect sweeter profile
- Quite a strong flavour for chain-vaping
Drifter Bar Salts Mango Ice
Best for: Ice
Features We Love
Tundric Cool: Ice menthol used for cool refreshment
Frozen Paradise: Juicy mango flavour is enhanced within icy menthol chill
Go Large: Also available as a 100ml 50/50 shortfill
Mints and menthols may be refreshing but they do carry a noticeable flavour that may not be to your taste. Fear not, because iced vapes like Drifter Bar Salts’ Mango Ice Nic Salt let you enjoy cool mint puffs without any offputting herbal or botanical notes.
I’m a big fan of mango e-liquids, as it’s a fruit flavour that works in conjunction with both other fruits and creamy additions. Ice was a new twist for me, but one that really blew me away.
The naturally juicy orange flavour of the mango felt crystalised by the arctic chill, which also provided a palate cleanse, preventing any cloying sugary build-up and leaving you ready for the next cold and fruity puff.
If you’d prefer a more punchy puff from the best ice vape juice in the UK, then try out the Drifter Mango Ice 100ml shortfill version and apply a freebase nic shot for traditional chest-kicking inhales.
Pros
- Lucious mango juice flavour
- Cooling element is flavourless and won’t impact taste profile
- Drifter Bar range conveys the notable sweetness of disposable vapes
Cons
- Could stand to be a little colder
- Mango delicious but would benefit from an additional citrus note
Does Menthol Vape Hit Harder?
Menthol vapes tend to ‘hit harder’ for the same reason heavy smokers often prefer menthol cigarettes. The cool menthol flavouring sents a jolt of cold refreshment down into the lungs.
Those who are averse to sweet flavours needn’t worry, as even the best tobacco vape juice has mentholated units to select from.
Can I Use Menthol E-Liquid With a Nicotine Salt Device?
Absolutely! Any menthol e-liquid with a VG/PG ratio of 50/50 or with a high-PG content will work just fine in any device that you ordinarily use for nicotine salts.
One of the e-liquids featured above, Icy Cherry Cola Bar Salt by Yeti 3K, has a VG content of 60 but still works well with a nic salt kit. Just avoid any e-liquid with a VG content of 70 or above.
Can I Mix Menthol E-Liquids With Other Flavours?
While we believe the menthol flavours above are some of the best blends around, you can absolutely mix your menthol e-liquids with other flavours to produce your own combinations! Just try to maintain uniformity of VG/PG ratios and nicotine strengths so as to avoid a blend that doesn’t work well for your coils.
You can doubtless find some great e-liquids to mix with menthol e-liquids in our roundup of the best fruity vape juice.
