10 Best E-Liquid Flavour Concentrates in 2023

Peanut butter is a truly standout flavour because of its wild versatility. I can enjoy peanut butter with jam in a sandwich, smeared onto pancakes, or even cooked with ginger, lemongrass and coconut for a delicious Thai curry.

As a result, the MIST Peanut Butter Concentrate is one of my instant go-to flavour bases that serve as a foundation for dozens of liquid mixes I’ve worked on. Want to add a creamy bite to a tobacco blend? Or how about a grounding element for a banana and vanilla ice cream mix? Peanut Butter, our top choice for our review of the best vape flavour concentrates in the UK, comes through with the winning flavour balance every time.

Crack Open A Can: Sugary and almost candy-like classic cola flavour 
Vapourstream: Ready for fruit and icy additions to recreate classic soda forms 
Pick & Mix: Can be used standalone for the flavour of chewy cola bottle sweets 

Cola vapes are some of my absolute favourites because everyone likes being able to enjoy a sugary soda without worrying about their teeth and weight. The Fizzy Cola E-Liquid Concentrate is a highly versatile flavour concentrate as there are endless beverage flavour combos to choose from.

I like to add a little ice to the blend for that ‘fresh from the fridge’ flavour, and then I’ll go with either a sour citrus note for that ‘lemon wedge’ element or just a big old blast of sour cherry flavouring to make my very own cherry cola e-liquid. The perfect base for any beverage blend.

Nice Spice: Luxurious vanilla enhances gentle tobacco flavour 
Nice & Nasty: Characteristic Nasty Juice high sweetness levels 
Standalone: Works perfectly as the sole flavouring of your DIY e-liquid 

A touch of spice can bring an otherwise ordinary flavour like tobacco to life, and give you a whole new appreciation for your daily puff. Silver Blend – part of the Aroma range from Nasty Juice, one of the best vape concentrate brands around – does exactly this with a precise and perfect dose of fresh Madagascan vanilla.

Plucked from orchid flowers, vanilla provides a velvety and sweet addition to the grounded tobacco notes, elevating the profile significantly. I personally like to use Silver Blend on its own, but a little hint of cake or honey flavour can send the characteristic Nasty Juice e-liquid concentrates sweetness into overdrive, if that’s what you prefer!

Fruit Refreshment: Zesty fruit blend with an icy component 
Fanberry: Rare appearance of sweet, tart cranberry juice 
Fruit Foundation: Perfect as the starting block of a complex fruit arrangement 

There are so many fruit vape liquid concentrates that sometimes I find they’re a little alike when what I want is a unique blend to start off my vibrant and juicy e-liquid project. The Just Juice Kiwi and Cranberry on Ice flavouring is perfect for giving my homebrews a touch of tart taste that only fruits can achieve.

With the cranberries and kiwi fruits mixing into a gorgeously zesty and tangy juice blend, the ice comes through with a touch of refreshment to keep the sugary flavours from becoming cloying. So with this concentrate, you can create a fruit vape that’s delightfully sweet but never overwhelming, making for the perfect all-day puff.

Indulgent Drip: Luscious combination of dessert flavour concentrates
Restrained: Salted flavour keeps the tastes from becoming overpowering 
Baked Bae: Excellent foundation for creamy or even fruit additions 

When I’m on the hunt for a dessert flavour base, I can be hard to please. I want a deliciously indulgent flavour that manages to incorporate a balancing component so that despite how luxurious the flavour may be, it’s still a vape I can session for the day.

Cookie Dough Salted Caramel Concentrate by Joe’s Juice provides me with exactly that. The sugary baked cookie and fiery sweet brown sugar sauce notes combine into a delectable dark sweetness, but the edge of salt grounds the flavour and stops it from running away with itself. I got great results from mixing it with the Nasty Juice Aroma Silver Blend mentioned above for a velvety vanilla addition to my pudding pod mix.

Take A Drag: Gentle smoky profile 
Easy Additions: Remarkably versatile with cream and menthol flavours 
Herbal Essence: Flavour taken from genuine toasted tobacco leaves 

A good tobacco flavour concentrate should have a subtle smoky profile that doesn’t overwhelm the senses and one that you can craft brilliant blends with. Personally, the MIST Gold & Silver tobacco e-liquid essence is a must in your vape juice DIY brewing kit. 

Its touch of silky vanilla will result in a classic cafe creme cigarillo flavour, whereas menthol additions will produce a perfect recreation of menthol cigarettes. Before you know it, the pub garden will be asking where you got that delicious-smelling cinnamon cookie tobacco vape liquid, and with a prideful smile, you can tell them it’s your own e-liquid.

Citrus Bliss: Tart and tasty sour fruit flavour base 
Lemon Aid: Raspberry and lemon pair well with ice to make a lemonade vape 
Multidirectional: Perfect base for candy, beverage, pudding and fruit vapes 

Citrus is a key player in some of my favourite DIY e-liquids, combining two things I love – sweet and sour. Ballin’ Bloody Berry from Nasty Juice Aroma delivers tart fruit flavours on two fronts.
You get an immediate blast of tangy raspberries, which is followed up by an enveloping sweet lemon tartness. It’s a delicious mix that I’m surprised hasn’t appeared on my radar before, and I found worked really well with the Vampire Vape Ice Menthol Concentrate to give my tank a frosty fruit fusion of sweet flavours.

Note that being by Nasty Juice, it’s extremely sweet, but if you’re into brewing citrus vape juices you’re likely to enjoy that!

Complex Puff: Rich botanical additions with a liquorice-like taste 
Forest Fruits: Mixed berries work well with aniseed and don’t over-sugar the blend 
Botanicool: Ice elevates the complex botanical flavourings 

Botanicals can add a level of sophistication to vape liquid that cigarettes just can’t compete with. It goes beyond just ‘sweet’ or ‘sour’ and can introduce a degree of complexity and mature flavour to your own vape juice.

Wild Berries & Aniseed Concentrate, part of the Just Juice Ice line, has helped me brew up several unique tasting fruit vapes with a very noticeable hint of liquorice, adding a note of flavour that is adult and playful in equal measure. The tartness of the berries never outshines the botanical extract flavour, making it more akin to the taste of a fancy cocktail than a simple fruit or candy blend.

Bubblicious: Fruit bubblegum flavour base 
Precious Peach: Delicate peach juice flavour enhances sweet profile 
Penny Sweets: Works well with other fruits as well as menthol and ice concentrates 

Candy vape flavour concentrates allow you to take a trip down the old pick & mix sweet aisle, filling up a cup – or, in this case, bottle – with a tangy, chewy and moreish selection of candy flavours.

I personally feel that peach’s uniquely ‘rounded’ flavour lends itself really well to candy flavours, and so the Peach Bubble concentrate from the Dinner Lady Moments line is the perfect candy base for my mix projects. The combination of fruit juice and chewy candy is an excellent starting block for other fruity additions, or if you’re feeling bold, go with a creamy vanilla note for a tasty summer ice-lolly flavour, a delicious sweet treat from Dinner Lady!

Icy Addition: The perfect concentrate for a frosty edge 
Nice & Neutral: Imparts no flavour onto your blend besides iciness
Veteran Vamp: Vampire Vape known for their icy flavour concentrates 

Menthol flavour concentrates need, beyond all else, to work well with other flavours. While you may be one of those menthol devotees who likes a pure arctic freeze on the inhale, many appreciate menthol for its versatility and the ability to add a refreshing note to any other flavour blend.

Ice Menthol Concentrate by Vampire Vape is cool and mostly flavourless, working excellently to frost out fruit or beverage blends but also providing an essential cool kick to anyone working with tobacco essences with menthol cigarette nostalgia. Let Vampire Vape help you get around those pesky TPD flavour restrictions and blend yourself a hand-rolled cool cig, now in the form of harmless vapour!
