How to choose an ice cream e-liquid
Two questions worth answering: which device are you using, and how rich do you want the flavour. 10ml nic salts (positions 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9) suit MTL pod kits and refillable starter devices. They deliver a smoother throat hit, faster nicotine, and the 50/50 ratio works in small coils. 100ml shortfills (positions 4, 5, 7, 10) suit sub-ohm tanks and DTL kits. The high-VG ratio produces thicker clouds and a fuller, richer ice cream taste. New to vaping? Our beginners guide to vape kits covers the basics, and the nicotine strength guide helps you pick between 5mg, 10mg and 20mg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ice cream e-liquid taste like?
An ice cream e-liquid recreates the flavour of real ice cream: a thick, creamy vanilla or milk base layered with a dominant flavour like strawberry, butterscotch, mint chocolate chip or caramel. The best ice cream vape juices keep the cream and the flavour balanced, so neither overpowers the other.
Should I buy a nic salt or a shortfill ice cream e-liquid?
It depends on your kit. Buy a 10ml nic salt ice cream e-liquid if you use a pod kit or MTL setup. The smoother throat hit suits higher nicotine strengths and the 50/50 ratio works in small coils. Buy a 100ml shortfill if you use a sub-ohm tank or DTL kit. The high-VG ratio produces bigger clouds and a richer ice cream taste.
What is the best ice cream e-liquid for beginners?
For first-time vapers, the Strawberry Ice Cream nic salt by Elfliq is our pick. The 50/50 nic salt format is forgiving in any pod kit, the strawberry-and-cream profile is the most universally liked ice cream flavour combination, and it comes in 10mg and 20mg so you can adjust the nicotine to your needs.
Will the 2026 vape tax affect ice cream e-liquids?
Yes. The UK Vaping Products Duty takes effect on 1 October 2026 and adds a flat £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid. That applies to every ice cream e-liquid sold in the UK, nic salts and shortfills alike. A typical 10ml nic salt that costs £2.99 today will rise once the duty is added, and 100ml shortfills will see the duty multiplied across the bottle. Stocking up before October 2026 is sensible if you have a daily flavour.
