Vapengin
Vapengin nic salts are 10ml bottles sold under the Mercury name at £2.99 each. This collection holds 12 of them at Vapestore Direct. The flavours currently on the shelf are Cherry Cola, Cherry Ice, Fizzy Mango, Mr. Blue, Pineapple Strawberry, Rainbow, Strawberry Grape and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
The profiles will look familiar to anyone who used bar style devices before they were withdrawn from sale. Sweet mixed fruit, cola and rainbow candy blends are exactly what that market ran on. In a refillable pod kit they cost a fraction of what a sealed device did per millilitre. All e-liquid is sold to over 18s only.
What nicotine salt actually is
Nicotine salt is nicotine that has been bound with an acid, most commonly benzoic acid. That lowers the pH of the liquid and softens the throat hit dramatically compared with freebase nicotine of the same strength. It is why 20mg is comfortable in a small pod device when 20mg freebase would be unpleasant. Salts also tend to feel faster acting.
The Mercury flavour set
Berry and mixed fruit
Strawberry Raspberry Cherry and Strawberry Grape are the layered berry options, both leaning sweet rather than tart. Mr. Blue sits in the blue raspberry family that dominated the bar market. Rainbow is the mixed fruit candy profile you would expect from the name.
Cola, tropical and ice
Cherry Cola pairs cola with a cherry top note, which makes it one of the few genuinely different profiles in the range. Fizzy Mango adds a sherbet edge to tropical fruit. Cherry Ice is the straightforward iced option for anyone who wants cooling on the exhale.
Choosing a strength
UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg per ml and caps bottles containing nicotine at 10ml. Nic salts are usually offered at 10mg and 20mg. Twenty milligram suits someone who was a heavier smoker. Ten milligram suits lighter smokers or anyone already vaping who wants to step down. If the throat hit feels sharp, the strength is too high for your device.
Hardware to run them in
Salts belong in a refillable pod kit or a mouth to lung starter kit using a coil rated above 1.0 ohm at low wattage. They are balanced blends around 50/50 PG to VG, thin enough to wick through the narrow ports on a pod coil. Do not put a 20mg salt in a sub ohm tank, because that much nicotine becomes harsh and wasteful. UK tanks sold with nicotine liquid are limited to 2ml.
Bar style flavour after the ban
Single use vapes were prohibited from sale across the UK on 1 June 2025. The flavour profiles did not disappear with them. Ranges like this one carry the same sweet fruit and candy blends in a 10ml bottle, so a refillable pod kit or a pre-filled pod kit gives you the same taste with a rechargeable battery.
Coil life
Sweet candy and cola profiles carry more sucralose than plain fruit. Sucralose caramelises on a coil, so expect a pod running Rainbow to fade sooner than one running Cherry Ice. Prime every new coil by wetting the wicking ports, then let the filled pod stand five minutes before the first draw.

Vapengin nic salt questions answered
What strength Vapengin nic salt should I buy?
UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg per ml. Twenty milligram suits anyone coming off a heavier cigarette habit who wants quick satisfaction from a small pod device. Ten milligram suits lighter smokers or anyone already vaping who is stepping down. A sharp throat hit usually means the strength is too high for the device rather than a problem with the flavour.
Can I use Vapengin nic salts in a sub ohm tank?
No. These are balanced blends made for low powered mouth to lung devices running coils above 1.0 ohm. A sub ohm coil vaporises far more liquid per puff, so 10mg or 20mg of nicotine becomes harsh and gets used up very quickly. Sub ohm tanks want a high VG shortfill at 0mg to 6mg instead.
Do these taste like the old bar style vapes?
The flavour profiles come from the same family. Sweet mixed fruit, cola and candy blends were what that market ran on, so Mr. Blue and Rainbow will feel familiar. Single use vapes were withdrawn from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025. A 10ml bottle in a refillable pod kit is the direct replacement.
How long does a 10ml bottle last?
That depends on your device and how often you vape. A low powered pod kit sips liquid, so a moderate vaper often gets a week or more from 10ml. Higher output devices go through it much faster. Tanks sold with nicotine e-liquid are limited to 2ml, so one bottle refills a standard pod several times.
Why do the sweeter flavours wear out coils quicker?
Sucralose does not vaporise cleanly. It caramelises onto the coil and forms a dark crust that insulates the wire and dulls the flavour. Candy and cola profiles carry more of it than plain fruit blends, so a coil running Rainbow will fade before one running Cherry Ice.
Are Vapengin nic salts compliant with UK rules?
Nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK must be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency before it goes on sale and must meet the 20mg per ml strength cap along with the 10ml bottle limit. Everything here is sold to adults aged 18 and over, with every order age verified before dispatch.
