Blue Raspberry Vape
Blue raspberry is the best selling flavour profile in UK vaping and it has held that position for years. This collection gathers 43 blue raspberry e-liquids from across the range, spanning 10ml nicotine salts from £3.29, 100ml shortfills from £7.29 and a CBD option, with sour, candy, lemonade and iced variations of the same core taste.
Worth knowing before you order: there is no such thing as a blue raspberry. The profile came out of American confectionery, where a blue colouring was adopted to tell raspberry sweets and ices apart from the cherry and strawberry lines sitting next to them. What survived is a taste that is recognisably raspberry yet sweeter, sharper and more sherbet than the real fruit.
What blue raspberry actually tastes like
The profile has three layers. Underneath is a jammy dark berry note that reads as raspberry. Sitting over it is a bright, almost citric sourness that gives the flavour its lift. Wrapped around both is a sugary candy sweetness closer to a sherbet or a boiled sweet than to fresh fruit.
The balance between those three layers separates one bottle from another. A sour version pushes the acid forward. A candy version pushes the sugar. An iced version adds a cooling agent on the exhale. If you tried blue raspberry once and found it too sweet, the sour and iced versions are worth revisiting.
Formats this flavour comes in
10ml nicotine salts
The most common format and the cheapest way in at £3.29. Nic salts are blended around 50/50 VG to PG and are made for coils rated above 1.0 ohm, which covers refillable pod kits, vape pens and mouth to lung starter kits. UK law caps them at 20mg per ml in a 10ml bottle. Sour Blue Raspberry by Bar Vape and Blue Raspberry by Just Juice both sit here.
100ml shortfills
Shortfills are nicotine free liquids sold in an oversized bottle with room left for you to add nicotine yourself. A 100ml shortfill usually arrives in a 120ml bottle, so two 10ml nicotine shots at 18mg bring it to roughly 3mg per ml. These are high VG blends, typically 70/30, built for sub ohm coils below 1.0 ohm. Blue Raspberry by Just Juice and Blue Raspberry Lemonade by Kingston are examples.
CBD e-liquid
Sour Blue Raspberry 300mg CBD E-Liquid by Orange County carries the same flavour in a CBD format rather than a nicotine one. CBD e-liquids are sold in the UK under the Food Standards Agency novel foods framework. The FSA advises healthy adults not to exceed 70mg of CBD a day from all sources combined. No health or medical claims are made about CBD products.
Variations on the profile
Sour. Extra acid on the front of the flavour. Sour Blue Raspberry by Bar Vape comes in both a 10ml salt and a 100ml shortfill, so you can carry the same profile across two devices.
Candy and bubblegum. Blue Raspberry Candy by Future Juice and Blue Raspberry Bubblegum by Burst My Bubble lean into the sweet shop end. Bubblegum adds a soft, slightly powdery note behind the berry.
Lemonade. Blue Raspberry Lemonade by Kingston adds a fizzy citrus body underneath. Lemonade blends tend to be easier to vape all day than straight candy because the citrus stops the sweetness building up.
Iced. Yeti Summit Series Blue Raspberry Ice adds koolada for a cold finish. Ice suits warm weather and long sessions because it keeps the palate from tiring.
Sweet shop. Blue Raspberry Bottles by Lucky Thirteen references the fizzy bottle sweet rather than the fruit, so expect a rounder, chewier sweetness.
Matching the bottle to your device
Coil resistance decides this, not the brand on the label. Above 1.0 ohm means a mouth to lung coil, which wants a thin 50/50 liquid such as a 10ml nic salt. Below 1.0 ohm means a sub ohm coil, which needs a high VG shortfill at a low strength. A 20mg salt through a sub ohm coil is harsh and wasteful. A 70/30 shortfill through a pod coil starves the wick and burns it.
Mixing a shortfill correctly
Add your nicotine shots, seal the bottle, then shake it properly for a minute rather than a token swirl. High VG liquid is viscous and the shot will sit on top otherwise. Blue raspberry is a light fruit profile so it needs little or no steeping, unlike a custard or a tobacco. Vape it the same day.

Blue raspberry vape questions
Is blue raspberry a real fruit?
No. The profile comes from American confectionery, where a blue colouring was used so raspberry sweets and ices could be told apart from cherry and strawberry on the same shelf. The taste that resulted is recognisably raspberry but sweeter and sharper than the real fruit, with a sherbet edge that fresh raspberry does not have.
Should I buy a 10ml nic salt or a 100ml shortfill?
It depends on your coil. A nic salt suits coils above 1.0 ohm, which means pod kits and mouth to lung pens. A shortfill is high VG and suits sub ohm coils below 1.0 ohm in a tank or a bigger kit. Buying the wrong one leads to either a harsh draw or a burnt coil, so check the coil rating first.
How do I add nicotine to a shortfill?
A 100ml shortfill normally comes in a 120ml bottle with the headroom left empty. Two 10ml nicotine shots at 18mg bring the finished mix to roughly 3mg per ml. Add the shots, close the cap and shake hard for a minute. High VG liquid is thick and will not combine on its own.
Which blue raspberry should I try first?
If you are new to the profile, start with a straight version rather than a variant. Blue Raspberry by Just Juice is available as both a 10ml salt and a 100ml shortfill. Once you know whether you want it sweeter or sharper, move to a candy version or a sour one accordingly.
Why does blue raspberry kill coils quickly?
Sweeteners are the culprit. Sucralose caramelises onto the coil as it heats and builds a dark crust that dulls the flavour. Candy and bubblegum versions are the worst for it. Expect one to two weeks from a pod coil on a sweet blue raspberry, which is shorter than a menthol or a plain citrus would give you.
Does the CBD option contain nicotine?
No. Sour Blue Raspberry by Orange County is a 300mg CBD e-liquid and contains no nicotine. CBD products are sold in the UK under the Food Standards Agency novel foods framework. The FSA advises healthy adults to keep total CBD intake to no more than 70mg a day from all sources.
What is the difference between sour and iced versions?
Sour adds acidity to the front of the flavour, which makes the berry read sharper and cuts the sugar. Iced adds a cooling agent that hits on the exhale without changing the fruit itself. Some bottles do both. If you find sweet fruit liquids cloying, either one will make blue raspberry far easier to vape all day.
Is delivery free and do you verify age?
UK delivery is free on all orders over £20. Nicotine and CBD products may only be sold to adults aged 18 and over, so every order is age verified before dispatch and identification may be requested. If you want to check compatibility before ordering, the team is on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
