Features We Love

Refresher

Well-balanced use of cooling menthol 

Pick a Nic

4 different nicotine strengths to choose between 

Botanical Bliss

Aniseed enhances the mature flavour profile 

One problem with bar juice is that, in disposable vape fashion, it is often limited to 10mg and 20mg strengths. Classic Mister Blue Nic Salt from the MIST Bar Salts range eschews this archaic tradition by offering four nic strengths – 18mg, 12mg, 6mg and 3mg

Classic Mister Blue Nic Salt also goes further in flavour than other bar salts. A cascade of tart and sweet berries is accompanied by a strong hint of aniseed for liquorice flavour.

This is then all capped with a cool and frosty menthol addition to refresh every puff. It may be cheeky of us to award ourselves the winning slot, but MIST is exceptionally proud of Classic Mister Blue Nic Salt, and we think you’ll love it just as much as we do.

Pros

  • Cool and refreshing berry blend 
  • Excellent use of both aniseed and menthol additions
  • There are four strengths to choose between

Cons

  • No shortfill is yet available

Killer Cola: Perfect replica of classic cola flavour 
Fridge Fresh: Ice used to convey chilled-drink taste perfectly
Diet Cola: 5mg strength option for those reducing nicotine intake 

There’s nothing quite like the taste of a cool can of cola, and what could be better than vaping the flavour without worrying about your teeth and weight?

Seriously Bar Salts Cola Ice by Doozy Vape checks off every box on the checklist of what makes an excellent cola vape. Sugary without cloying, ice cold without impacting the flavour, sparkling without sherbety.

Another significant aspect of Seriously Bar Salts’ cola vape is the strength options, with a 5mg version available for anyone interested in lowering their daily nicotine dosage over time.

Pros

  • Genuine cola taste 
  • Ice gives it a ‘straight from the cooler’ feel
  • Low strength options

Cons

  • Too sugary for some 
  • Slightly candy-esque flavour at times

Herbal Hits: Fresh taste of rubbed mint leaf 
Cool Puffs: Icy cold menthol for all-day refreshment 
Sophisticated: Very restrained sweetness for a mature puff 

Some disposable vapes are prized not for punchy flavours but for sharp cooling intensity, and that’s precisely what Barless Salts Edition Spearmint Bar Nic Salt delivers.

Spearmint Bar Nic Salt carries an intensely herbal flavour of freshly picked and rigorously rubbed spearmint leaves and an extra addition of frosty menthol.

So, if you value cooling refreshments over zesty taste, we strongly recommend Spearmint Bar Nic Salt, one of the coldest vape juices we’ve tried that perfectly conveys a mature and straightforward herbal mint taste profile.

Pros

  • Ultimate bar salt refreshment 
  • Restrained sweetness for session vaping
  • Real herbal flavour

Cons

  • Disposable vape fans may prefer a sweeter vape juice
  • It is a bit too cold for winter session vaping

I Scream: Luscious and indulgent Elf Bar ice cream flavour 
Fruity Follow-up: Strawberry flavour is very gentle 
Frosty Scoop: Perfect use of flavourless ice for ice-cream sensation 

ELFLIQ is a bar salt range produced by disposable vape titans Elf Bar, bringing their popular flavours to your refillable kit.

While most of the bar salt vape juices listed today are quite fruit-focused, you can rely on Elf Bar to send some sumptuous pudding notes your way in the form of Strawberry Ice Cream from their ELFLIQ bar salt line.

The dairy notes are deep, thick, and powerful, while the strawberry is slightly more restrained to maintain that rich and delicious ice cream profile. This is further enhanced with a beautifully balanced use of ice, which doesn’t impact the taste but adds a frosty element that prevents too much of a ‘milkshake’ profile among the great flavours.

It’s undoubtedly one of the most popular ELFLIQ flavours for anyone who enjoys a pudding puff from their refillable vape kit.

Pros

  • Sumptuous ice cream taste 
  • Fruit taste takes a backseat to dairy notes
  • Excellent use of ice component

Cons

  • Some may prefer a richer fruit flavour 
  • It can become a bit cloying when sessioned

Solar-Oh!: Tastes very similar to a classic lolly
Bargain Bars: Very affordably priced 
Taste Spectrum: Two wildly contrasting flavours that blend well 

If you’re reading this in the United Kingdom, chances are you’re familiar with a particular brand of lolly that encases vanilla ice cream within walls of iced mango juice.

MIST is pleased to inform you that this moreish summer flavour is available for all-day vaping in the form of Riot Bar RDTN Mango Vanilla Ice Cream by Riot Squad!

And better yet, this e-liquid is remarkably cheap and affordable. You can indulge in a 20mg classic sugary treat any time of year without worrying about your teeth, belly, or pennies!

Pros

  • Delicious mix of cream and fruit
  • Reminiscent of a popular UK ice cream lolly
  • Great price

Cons

  • Mango and ice cream are a bit wild for some 
  • It could stand to be a bit colder for ‘ice cream’ vibes

Fruitastic: Lusciously tart blend of berries 
Cran Scran: Rare use of tasty dry cranberry flavour 
As Seen In…: Uses the same flavourings as ELUX disposable vape pens 

Disposable vape flavours lean strongly toward fruit blends, and Eluxtech is behind some of the best, which are featured in their Legend Mini disposable vape pens.

Now you can enjoy those ELUX disposable vape flavours in their Legend line of bar juice, with Blueberry Cherry Cranberry standing out as one of the best from the bunch.

Gentle blueberry juice meets seductive cherry tartness, with a final rare note of dry cranberry flavour to cap off this trio of tasty fruit juices. You can confidently puff on this nic salt e-liquid, knowing that it was manufactured by a company that intimately understands disposable vape flavours.

Pros

  • Perfect mix of sweet, dry and tart berries 
  • Made by a disposable vape manufacturer
  • Not overwhelmingly sugary

Cons

  • Some will find cranberry taste unfamiliar
  • Blueberry flavour could be stronger

Toasted Taste: Rich and earthy toasted tobacco flavour 
Nostalgic: Genuinely tastes like a lovingly hand-rolled cigarette 
Strength Select: Four strengths to help you reduce nicotine

The main reason people start vaping is to quit smoking, but not every new vaper is going to get on with bold flavours like kiwi passion fruit guava or blueberry sour raspberry. Sometimes, good tobacco vape juice is what you need to stay on the vapourous path.

Classic Tobacco Leaf from the MIST Bar Salts range delivers a simple and delicious toasted rolling tobacco profile, with no additional flavourings to get in the way of the earthy, aromatic flavour.

With just a touch of sweetener that elevates the natural tobacco leaf flavour, there’s no better bar salt for when you can’t quite get over your old love of tobacco smoking. Once you take a few puffs of Classic Tobacco Leaf, you’ll never go back to cigarettes.

Pros

  • The perfect cigarette replacement e-liquid 
  • Rich and natural tobacco flavour
  • Minimal cloud production helps facilitate cigarette feel

Cons

  • Maybe a bit too sweet for very heavy smokers 
  • No tobacco and caramel mix flavour are available in the range

50 Swifty: 50/50 ratio makes this juice perfect for MTL vaping 
Pom Pom: Rare appearance of delicious pomegranate flavour vape 
Restrained Rasp: Raspberry takes it easy and allows the pom to blossom 

IVG were one of the first vape juice manufacturers to get on the bar salt train with their Bar Favourites range, and Sour Raspberry Pomegranate Nic Salt is one of their most popular flavours, representing a real labour of vape flavour love.

Mixed at a 50 VG / 50 PG ratio for optimal mouth-to-lung vaping with salt nicotine, this e-juice features the rarely utilised flavour of freshly pulped pomegranate seeds. This fruity flavour has a rich and vibrantly tangy taste, with a touch of dryness similar to cranberries.

The raspberry flavour takes an uncharacteristically restrained approach to let the pomegranate sing, resulting in one of the most memorable fruity bar salt e-liquids we’ve ever tried, bound to be a personal favourite for many.

Pros

  • Delectable pomegranate flavour 
  • Uncommonly restrained raspberry tartness
  • Delicious use of sweeteners

Cons

  • Pomegranate may be an unfamiliar flavour to some 
  • Raspberry vape juice fans may be disappointed
