What Kind of Vape Juice Is Best for Beginners?
So, you’re interested in making the switch to vaping. And who could blame you?
Vaping has been shown to be 95% less harmful than smoking and has been praised as the most effective quit-smoking tool by the NHS and the government. It’s not just your health that vaping can help out either; making the switch can save you up to £3000 per year!
But, with all that being said, we understand getting started with vaping can be a little bit overwhelming. There’s a wide market out there, filled with a huge selection of different devices, e-liquids, and tasty flavours.
There are plenty of vaping guides for beginners available, but understandably, many would-be vapers find themselves in need of a guiding hand to find their perfect beginner vape juice.
That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive list of the most delicious beginner vape flavours available on the market today!
Best Fruit Flavours for Beginners
If you’ve already dipped your toe into the vaping world with the help of some convenient disposable vapes, chances are you’re already very familiar with just how mouth-watering a proper fruity e-liquid can be.
Fruit flavours are perhaps one of the best categories of vape juice for any beginner to explore, offering sweet, succulent, and juicy taste sensations that will keep you coming back all day long: crucial for any successful transition!
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at some of our finest fruity vape juices.
Strawberry Raspberry & Cherry Ice by Fantasi Bar Juice
If you’re a fan of all things berry, this Fantasi vape juice is a must-have. Bursting with vibrant summer fruits, this medley blends sweet strawberries and dark cherries with sharp raspberries for a well-rounded flavour profile.
This liquid also features a healthy dose of supercool ice, letting you enjoy a delicious inhale with a refreshing exhale.
This beginner-friendly liquid features double concentrated flavourings to match and surpass the rich taste of disposables. It’s also loaded with nic salts, providing the fast-acting nicotine release you’d enjoy from smoking!
Tropical X Thunder Ice by Fantasi Remix
Winner of the Best Fruit Flavour at the November 2023 Italian Vaping Expo, this succulent Fantasi Remix is perfect for those with an exotic taste. Crammed with a wild variety of tropical fruits, expect an electrifying hit of tangy pineapple, sour kiwi, sweet mango, and juicy papaya!
Finished with a touch of cool ice, this fruity fusion provides a refreshing exhale to round off your escape to the sun. Choose between 10mg and 20mg nic salts for a quick nicotine release and a smooth throat hit.
Apple Raspberry by ShortLiQ
Tart and juicy, this fruity mash-up is an excellent choice for those seeking a tasty e-liquid that isn’t overly sweet. Intertwining the fresh taste of ripe apples with a clean raspberry edge, this vape juice offers a luscious and refreshing hit.
Unlike the other fruit vape juices we’ve recommended, this liquid is not a 10ml nic salt – it’s actually a 60ml!
This product requires a little bit of setup in exchange for great value. It comes with three nicotine shots, which you’ll need to slot over your e-liquid bottle’s nozzle and squeeze in to reach a satisfying 20mg strength.
Once everything has been mixed together, you can enjoy a speedy nicotine release along with smooth throat hits for weeks on end!
Best Tobacco Flavours for Beginners
A go-to for many beginner vapers is tobacco-flavoured vape juices. If you’re trying to perfectly encapsulate that authentic smoking experience, these liquids are sure to deliver that earthy, smoky taste.
Tobacco flavours make for a great transition from smoking to vaping, helping to keep everything as familiar as possible.
That being said, let’s take a look at some of the greatest tobacco e-liquids on the market today!
Tobacco by Ferocious
One of our first-ever vape juices, this Ferocious tobacco e-liquid has been a staple of our expansive catalogue ever since we launched back in 2017!
Carefully formulated to provide the complex, mellow flavour of tobacco – without the nasty chemicals – this no-nonsense e-juice keeps things simple. Many of our customers enjoy this product on its own or by mixing it with another sweeter e-liquid to create a smooth, flavoursome experience.
This is a freebase nicotine e-liquid, so it will provide a more gradual release than you might be used to with a regular cigarette, but this can be a great way to start cutting down on your nicotine intake!
Tobacco No.1 by Debonair
This premium Debonair e-liquid is called Tobacco No.1 for a reason.
Oozing class and luxury, this refined vape juice offers a full-bodied tobacco taste with creamy, velvety undertones. A great choice for anyone looking for a premium-grade tobacco experience!
Unlike our previous mentions, this product is a shortfill e-liquid. This is a larger bottle of e-liquid that comes with 100ml of juice and two nicotine shots. You’ll need to squeeze these in to create 120ml of nicotine-infused vape juice.
While it might be a bit less beginner-friendly than a straightforward 10ml vape juice, adding the nicotine shots is easier than you might think. The only major difference is that you won’t be getting the high nicotine strength that 10mls offer, instead you’re nicotine strength can only go up to 3mg and 6mg. If you’re willing to make the leap, you’ll bag yourself a high-quality product at a great price!
Tobacco Cubana by Debonair
If you prefer a luxurious cigar over your standard cigarette, you should take a look at this Cuban-inspired vape juice.
Perfectly encapsulating the taste of an iconic Cuban cigar, this e-liquid is complex, rich, and deliciously mellow. The earthy tobacco taste is scored with notes of smooth vanilla and subtle rose, providing a deeply gratifying experience.
Best Mint & Menthol Flavours for Beginners
If you’d prefer to keep things simple, menthol and mint flavours are a great way to go. They’re a refreshing way to satisfy your cravings and are an especially great choice for ex-smokers who favour menthol cigarettes.
If you’re wondering what the difference is between mint and menthol, it’s pretty straightforward. Mint flavour captures the taste of the plant, while menthol is a flavourless extract which gives mint its coolness.
Spearmint Ice by Fantasi Bar Juice
Love the taste of spearmint gum? This refreshing vape juice has it bottled and ready for your enjoyment at all times!
Spearmint is a sweeter mint flavour, allowing you to indulge your sweet tooth while keeping things cool. This e-liquid also has a healthy injection of menthol, providing an ice-cool, invigorating exhale.
This juice allows you to enjoy the rich taste of disposables in a more cost-effective manner. Available in either 10mg or 20mg nic salts, experience a fast-acting release of nicotine and a smooth throat hit with every puff.
Menthol by Ferocious
If you’re looking for pure refreshment, you’ve found it!
The Ferocious menthol vape juice contains nothing but chill, perfect for those who want a satisfying vape experience without any overwhelming flavours.
This straightforward e-liquid is available with freebase nicotine, providing a more gradual nicotine release and a satisfying throat hit. With 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg nicotine strengths available, you’re sure to find something to suit your needs.
Heizenberry by Ferocious
Jesse – we need to vape.
That’s right, this exhilarating menthol vape juice is inspired by one of Hollywood’s most infamous creations! Heizenberry has become a staple flavour among vapers, fusing supercool menthol with absinthe and mixed berries for a fruity and invigorating exhale.
This handy 10ml vape juice is loaded with freebase nicotine. Whether you choose a 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, or 18mg nicotine strength, you’re sure to enjoy a satisfying throat hit with a pleasant, gradual release of nicotine.
Best Sweet Flavours for Beginners
Many first-time vapers look for something on the sweeter side, and if you’re a big fan of candy flavours, you’ll be amazed at how true to life these flavours taste.
Sweet manufacturers use carefully selected, food-safe flavouring agents to give their products their mouth-watering flavours. These same flavourings can be used in e-liquids, allowing for some truly authentic sweet shop tastes.
So, which ones should you look to try first?
Gummy Bear Ice by Fantasi Bar Juice
Sticky-sweet, get stuck into the iconic taste of your favourite bear-shaped gummies.
This fruity blend lets you enjoy every gummy bear flavour with each puff, bursting with notes of sour raspberry, juicy orange, sweet strawberry, tangy pineapple, and zesty lemon! Perfect for lovers of light, bright flavour.
Black Jack by Ferocious
Looking for something a little bit old-school?
Deliciously retro, this sweet shop staple encapsulates the taste of thick, chewy liquorice. A great choice for lovers of aniseed, this penny-sweet classic also features delightful notes of citrus and ginger.
This product contains freebase nicotine for a strong throat hit and a smooth, gradual nicotine release.
Red Rainbows by Ferocious Bar Juice
Taste the red in the rainbow!
This vape juice perfectly encapsulates the iconic taste of your favourite strawberry sugar-shell sweets, providing an authentic and tantalising experience.
This product contains double-concentrated flavourings, ensuring an extra-vibrant taste experience.
As this product is a shortfill, you will need to do a little bit of prep. Simply slot the provided nicotine shots over the larger shortfill bottle and squeeze them in to create 120ml of nicotine-infused e-liquid!
What Vape Juices Should Beginners Look for?
All of the vape juices in this guide have been chosen with beginners in mind – but what makes them beginner-friendly?
Well, it’s all about the e-liquid ratio. Each of these flavours contains a 50/50 mix of VG and PG, making them ideal for mouth-to-lung vaping.
50/50 e-liquids are designed to be used with vape pens and vape pods, the devices found in most starter kits. These vapes – like the DA ONE RE1 – are made to deliver an experience that closely mirrors the way you’d enjoy smoking.
The 10ml e-liquids we have suggested on this list are the most beginner-friendly, but shortfills and ShortLiQs can allow you to enjoy more bang for your buck if you feel ready to handle the minor setup involved.
