The Best E-Liquids of 2026

July 15, 2026

From intense "bar salts" to rich, complex shortfills for cloud chasers, we reveal the top 12 e-liquids of the year. 

If you thought you’d tasted it all, 2026 had other ideas. This year has been defined by an explosion of flavour, driven largely by the "Bar Salt" revolution. Vapers have demanded the same intense, sweet taste found in disposable vapes (banned in June 2025, lest we forget) but in a more affordable, eco-friendly bottle—and the industry has delivered. 

But it’s not just about fruit and ice. We’ve also seen a resurgence in premium tobaccos, the rise of the money-saving "Longfill," and the return of some legendary sub-ohm giants. 

Whether you use a simple pod kit or a high-power mod, finding your perfect all-day vape has never been easier. We’ve sampled hundreds of blends to bring you our definitive list of the best e-liquids of 2026. 

Key Takeaways

  • Bar Salts Dominate: The biggest trend is 10ml Nic Salts that mimic the strong, sweet flavour of disposables. 
  • Value is King: With cost of living in mind, Shortfills and Longfills offer the best value per ml. 
  • Match Your Kit: Remember, high-VG liquids are for powerful mods, while 50/50 liquids are for pods and starter kits. 
  • Classics Endure: Despite new trends, some legendary flavours remain bestsellers for a reason. 

Best Overall Bar Salt: Bar Juice 5000

Why we chose it: The pioneer that changed the game, offering disposable flavour in a bottle. 

Bar Juice 5000 was one of the first brands to bottle the exact flavour profiles of disposable vapes, and they are still among the best. Their 10ml Nic Salts are designed to replicate the intense, sweet taste of popular bars like Elf Bar and Elux, but at a fraction of the cost. One £3.99 bottle is equivalent to 5 disposables, saving you a fortune. If you want that strong, smooth, and sweet hit in your refillable pod kit, this is the gold standard.

Best Flavour Range: Doozy Vape Co. 

Why we chose it: Consistently incredible flavours across every category, from fruits to desserts. 

Doozy Vape Co. is a British institution, and their range is simply unmatched. Whether you want the icy punch of their "Seriously Salty" range, the rich indulgence of their "Temptations" desserts, or the tropical blast of "Rio," they have something for everyone. Their liquids are renowned for being coil-friendly despite their bold flavour, making them a favourite for daily vapers who want variety without burning out their pods.

Best for Elf Bar Fans: ElfLiq 

Why we chose it: The official liquid from the makers of the world's most famous disposable. 

If you love Elf Bars, there is no substitute for the real thing. ElfLiq is the official e-liquid range from Elf Bar, offering the exact same flavours found in their disposables. From Blue Razz Lemonade to Watermelon, it delivers that familiar, ultra-sweet taste and smooth throat hit. It’s the perfect stepping stone for anyone moving from single-use bars to a refillable kit like the XROS or Caliburn.

Best for Lost Mary Fans: Maryliq 

Why we chose it: The authentic taste of a BM600 in a 10ml bottle. 

Just like ElfLiq, Maryliq is the official e-liquid from the creators of Lost Mary. It captures the unique, slightly richer flavour profile of the BM600 disposable series. Flavours like Triple Mango and Pineapple Ice are bestsellers for a reason—they are bold, punchy, and instantly satisfying. If you're a Lost Mary loyalist, this is the only liquid you need.

Best Value: Edge 

Why we chose it: Premium quality, British-made liquid at an unbeatable price point. 

Not everyone wants intense "bar style" flavours. Edge offers a fantastic range of traditional 50/50 e-liquids, including classic tobaccos, menthols, and fruits, at a price that is hard to beat. Made in the UK using high-grade ingredients, they are perfect for vapers on a budget who don't want to compromise on safety or quality. Their core range is a staple for a reason.

Best Classic / Cult Flavour: Vampire Vape Heisenberg 

Why we chose it: The "Daddy" of all vapes. A decade later, it's still a bestseller. 

No list would be complete without the most famous e-liquid in the world. Vampire Vape's Heisenberg is a secret recipe of mixed fruits, aniseed, and menthol that has divided and delighted vapers for years. It’s available in every format, from Nic Salt for pods to High-VG Shortfill for mods.

Best Traditional Menthol: Vapouriz Millionaires Menthol 

Why we chose it: A shockingly popular premium blend that elevates the standard menthol experience. 

Sometimes, simple is best. Vapouriz Millionaires Menthol takes the standard cooling vape and adds a layer of luxury. It’s a crisp, clean, and fiercely refreshing menthol with a subtle depth that keeps vapers coming back year after year. It consistently tops our sales charts because it just works perfectly as an all-day vape.

Best Traditional Tobacco: Vapouriz Classic Tobacco 

Why we chose it: The gold standard for ex-smokers who crave that authentic taste. 

For many, the goal is to replicate the experience of smoking as closely as possible. Vapouriz Classic Tobacco delivers a rich, earthy, and satisfying tobacco flavour without the sweetness found in many modern mixes. It’s straightforward, reliable, and provides the perfect throat hit for those transitioning away from cigarettes.

Best Sub-Ohm / Shortfill: Wick Liquor 

Why we chose it: The return of a boutique giant with complex, grown-up flavour profiles. 

Wick Liquor has always done things differently. Their "boutique" flavours like Boulevard (Fruit Punch) and Contra (Fruit Compote) are legendary for their complexity. They have returned with a refreshed Shortfill range that offers deep, layered clouds for sub-ohm vapers who want something more sophisticated than just "sweet and icy."

Best Longfill: Nixer

Why we chose it: The ultimate money-saver that bridges the gap between 10ml and Shortfills. 

Nixer is leading the charge with the innovative "Longfill" format. You buy a 60ml bottle containing flavour concentrate, and then add your own nicotine shots and mixer. It allows MTL vapers to buy large bottles of liquid (usually reserved for sub-ohm) at a fraction of the cost of 10ml bottles. It’s a bit more DIY, but the savings are massive.

Best Premium Nic Salt: Pod Salt 

Why we chose it: Award-winning smoothness and unique fusion collaborations. 

Pod Salt is famous for their proprietary nicotine salt formula, which offers one of the smoothest throat hits on the market. Their range is split into three pillars: Core (solid, simple flavours), Fusion (collaborations with other big brands like Doozy and Pacha Mama), and Nexus (complex fruit blends). It’s a premium experience for the discerning vaper.

Best Newcomer: Fruit by Supergood 

Why we chose it: Genuinely exciting new blends from a brand that knows flavour. 

Supergood made their name with their "Butter" dessert range, but their new "Fruit" collection is a breath of fresh air. Focusing on realistic, vibrant fruit combinations rather than candy sweetness, flavours like "Passion Fruit, Orange & Mango" taste like the real thing. It’s a sophisticated, high-quality addition to the market that stands out from the crowd.

What is a "Bar Salt"?

"Bar Salts" are a type of nicotine salt e-liquid designed to replicate the intense, sweet flavour and smooth throat hit of disposable vapes. They are perfect for users switching from single-use bars to refillable kits.

What is the difference between PG and VG?

PG (Propylene Glycol) carries flavour and provides the "throat hit." VG (Vegetable Glycerin) creates the vapour clouds and smooths out the inhale. A 50/50 ratio is balanced for most kits, while High-VG (70%+) is for sub-ohm clouds.

What strength e-liquid should I buy?

If you are a heavy smoker or switching from disposables, 20mg is the standard. For lighter smokers, 10mg or 6mg is usually sufficient. If you are sub-ohm vaping at high power, stick to 3mg or 6mg to avoid harshness.

Can I use Shortfills in a pod kit?

Generally, no. Standard Shortfills are High-VG (usually 70/30), which is too thick for most small pod coils and can cause burning. However, some brands now make 50/50 Shortfills specifically for pod kits—always check the bottle ratio.
