Vape Crusaders
This is the full Vape Crusaders catalogue as stocked at Vapestore Direct, 10 products with nine in stock at the time of writing. Every line the brand supplies here is a 50ml shortfill in a 60ml bottle at £3.99, so the vendor page and the shortfill page currently show the same shelf. There is no Vape Crusaders 10ml nic salt or 50/50 bottle in the range at present.
Vape Crusaders sits at the budget end of the shortfill market and the proposition is straightforward. You get a recognisable flavour concept in a large bottle for roughly what most brands charge for a single 10ml. That suits high volume sub ohm vaping, where liquid disappears faster than you would like. What you trade is the layered complexity of a premium recipe, which matters less than people expect on a liquid you vape all day.
What the range covers
Dessert and bakery dominate. Three cheesecakes anchor it, namely New York, Blueberry and Pumpkin. Around them sit blends with abstract names that do not describe their contents, including Pebbled, Bourbon Stained, Onoki, Onoki Ice, Vanish 4:14 and Found Art. Onoki and Onoki Ice are the same base with a cooling agent added to the second, which is the one clear pairing in the line up. Order a named dessert first if you want a predictable result.
The value case in numbers
A 50ml Vape Crusaders shortfill is £3.99 and becomes 60ml of finished liquid once a nicotine shot goes in. That is under 7p per millilitre before the shot, against a considerably higher figure buying the same volume as six separate 10ml bottles. For an MTL pod vaper getting through 2ml a day the difference is academic. For a sub ohm tank vaper going through 10ml a day it adds up quickly across a month.
How the shortfill format works
UK regulations cap any e-liquid bottle containing nicotine at 10ml and cap strength at 20mg per ml. Selling a 50ml bottle therefore means selling it with no nicotine in it. Manufacturers put 50ml into a 60ml bottle so the buyer can add a 10ml nicotine shot at home. One 18mg shot into 50ml gives 60ml at roughly 3mg per ml. Two shots gives 6mg, provided you decant 10ml of the shortfill first to make space.
Matching liquid to your coil
Coil resistance decides which liquid works, not brand or price. These are high VG blends built for coils below 1.0 ohm, which means a sub ohm tank or a direct to lung pod kit. Thick liquid needs large wicking ports. Put it in a tight mouth to lung coil above 1.0 ohm and the cotton cannot keep up, so the coil runs dry and scorches. MTL device owners should buy 10ml nic salts instead.
Living with a sweet e-liquid
Dessert blends carry sweetener and sweetener is what shortens coil life. Sucralose caramelises rather than vaporising cleanly, leaving a dark crust on the wire that blocks heat transfer to the wick. Expect to change coils roughly twice as often on a cheesecake liquid as on a plain fruit. Bakery profiles also reward steeping.
Regulations, delivery and support
Nicotine free shortfills carry no bottle size restriction, because the 10ml limit applies to nicotine containing liquid only. Nicotine shots do carry it, along with the 20mg per ml cap and MHRA notification. All vaping products are sold to adults aged 18 and over. Free UK delivery starts at £20, which is five bottles.

Common questions about Vape Crusaders e-liquid
Does Vape Crusaders make 10ml nic salts?
Not in the range stocked here. Every Vape Crusaders product at Vapestore Direct is a 50ml nicotine free shortfill in a 60ml bottle. If you need a 10ml nicotine containing bottle for a mouth to lung pod kit, look at the nic salt collections, where strengths run up to the UK maximum of 20mg per ml.
Why is Vape Crusaders cheaper than other shortfill brands?
It sits at the value end of the market deliberately. The blends are built around a clear single concept rather than a heavily layered recipe. For an everyday tank filler that is a sensible trade. For a liquid you want to sit and analyse, a premium range will give you more to notice.
What nicotine strength will I end up with?
One 10ml shot at 18mg per ml added to a 50ml shortfill gives 60ml at around 3mg per ml, which suits sub ohm vaping. For 6mg you need two shots, so pour 10ml of the shortfill into a spare bottle first. Shake the finished bottle for a minute so the nicotine mixes through.
Which Vape Crusaders flavours are dessert blends?
The three cheesecakes are the obvious ones, New York, Blueberry and Pumpkin. Bourbon Stained and Pebbled also sit on the sweeter side of the range. Onoki, Onoki Ice, Vanish 4:14 and Found Art use abstract names that do not spell out a profile, so treat them as a try it and see purchase.
Can I mix two Vape Crusaders shortfills together?
Yes, as long as both bottles are nicotine free and you account for the total volume when adding shots. Mixing works best between blends that share a base, so two cheesecakes will marry better than a cheesecake with a cooled fruit. Give a mixed bottle a few days to settle before judging it.
How should I store my shortfills?
Upright, capped, in a dark cupboard at normal room temperature. Light and heat both darken e-liquid and dull the top notes over time, so a windowsill or a shelf above a radiator is the worst place for a bottle. Keep them well out of reach of children and pets.
