Wick Liquor
Wick Liquor is a British e-liquid house with a reputation for building flavours in layers rather than stating one fruit and stopping there. This collection holds 58 Wick Liquor products across 100ml and 50ml shortfills plus 10ml nicotine salts, covering the Good Cherry Nice family, Contra, Boulavard, Castaway, Ardour, Carnival, Blue Moon, the Miyako yoghurt blends, Equinox and Sweet Nirvana. Shortfills are priced from £8.99 and 10ml nicotine salts from £3.29.
The naming convention takes a moment to learn but it is logical once you have it. A base flavour such as Contra or Boulavard is the original recipe. The same name followed by Shattered is the iced version of that recipe, with a cooling agent worked through it. The Good Cherry Nice family runs the same idea further, with Lost Cherry, Urban Cherry, Loco Ice and Lost Ice all sitting on a shared cherry base at different levels of sweetness and cooling.
The Wick Liquor house style
Where most fruit e-liquid is built to be recognised in one puff, Wick Liquor recipes reveal themselves over a tank. Boulavard is the clearest example, layering blackcurrant and lemon over a creamy base so the profile shifts between inhale and exhale. Castaway does the same with pineapple, coconut and mango. That is why the range has a following among vapers tired of single note fruit.
The dessert and cream side
Miyako is the yoghurt series, pairing cultured dairy with raspberry, forest fruits or apricot. Carnival takes the fairground route while Sweet Nirvana and Serendipity sit in the same territory. These cost you coils fastest because dairy and heavy sweetener both build residue quickly.
The cherry range
Good Cherry Nice is the line Wick Liquor is best known for now. Lost Cherry is the sweeter reading, Urban Cherry the darker one. Loco Ice and Lost Ice add a cooling layer. All four appear as 100ml shortfills and the range extends into 10ml nicotine salt for pod users.
Shortfills and how to nicotine them
A 100ml shortfill arrives as 100ml of nicotine free liquid inside a 120ml bottle, leaving 20ml of headroom for two 10ml nicotine shots at 18mg. Adding both gives 120ml at roughly 3mg per ml. The 50ml shortfills work identically in a 60ml bottle with a single shot. Shortfills exist because UK regulations cap nicotine bottles at 10ml, so selling the flavour base nicotine free is the legal route to a large bottle. Shake hard for thirty seconds after adding a shot then let it stand.
Which device suits Wick Liquor
The shortfills are high VG blends built for sub ohm coils below 1.0 ohm running on a direct to lung draw. A mesh sub ohm tank on a regulated box mod is the natural home for them, typically somewhere between 40W and 70W depending on the coil. The 10ml nicotine salts are the opposite. They are balanced liquids for mouth to lung pod kits with coils above 1.0 ohm at low wattage. Putting a thick shortfill through a pod coil will starve the wick and burn it.
Steeping and coil life
Layered recipes reward patience. A freshly nicotined shortfill is vapeable straight away although many of these blends open up over the first week. Keep the bottle upright somewhere cool and dark. Expect shorter coil life than a plain fruit liquid gives you. The dessert and cream blends darken cotton within days, so keep spares in the drawer.

Wick Liquor questions answered
What is Wick Liquor known for?
Wick Liquor is a British e-liquid brand known for layered recipes rather than single note fruit. Boulavard, Contra, Castaway, Carnival, Ardour and the Miyako yoghurt blends are among its long standing names, alongside the Good Cherry Nice cherry family. The recipes tend to shift between inhale and exhale rather than tasting the same all the way through.
What does Shattered mean on a Wick Liquor bottle?
Shattered is the brand's naming for the iced version of an existing recipe. Contra Shattered is Contra with a cooling agent worked through it. The same naming applies to Boulavard Shattered, Ardour Shattered and Castaway Shattered. The underlying flavour is the same. Only the finish changes.
How many nicotine shots does a Wick Liquor shortfill need?
A 100ml shortfill arrives in a 120ml bottle with 20ml of headroom, so it takes two 10ml nicotine shots at 18mg to reach roughly 3mg per ml across 120ml. A 50ml shortfill comes in a 60ml bottle and takes a single shot for the same result. Shake for about thirty seconds afterwards then let it stand.
Why are Wick Liquor shortfills sold without nicotine?
UK regulations limit any bottle containing nicotine to 10ml. Selling a large format bottle nicotine free is the legal way around that, which is why every 50ml and 100ml bottle is supplied as a flavour base with headroom left for you to add a separate nicotine shot yourself.
What device should I use with Wick Liquor shortfills?
The shortfills are high VG liquids intended for sub ohm coils below 1.0 ohm on a direct to lung draw, so a mesh sub ohm tank on a regulated mod is the right home for them. The 10ml nicotine salts are the opposite and belong in a mouth to lung pod kit running coils above 1.0 ohm at low wattage.
Do Wick Liquor e-liquids need steeping?
They are ready to vape as supplied. That said, several of the layered recipes noticeably open up over the first week once a nicotine shot has been mixed in. Keep the bottle upright in a cool dark place and give it an occasional shake if you want to let it settle before working through it.
How long will a coil last with Wick Liquor?
Less than with a plain fruit liquid. The dessert, cream and yoghurt blends carry sweetener and dairy notes that build residue on the coil quickly, so a week is a realistic expectation. The lighter cherry and citrus profiles are kinder. Priming a new coil properly and letting it sit five minutes before the first draw helps in every case.
Are Wick Liquor e-liquids compliant with UK law?
Yes. Nicotine containing products are notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and meet the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, which cap nicotine at 20mg per ml and nicotine bottles at 10ml. Shortfills contain no nicotine as sold. All sales are restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
