For crisp, lasting freshness, try blends like Menthol Mojito, V4POUR Ice Drops, Strawberry Menthol, or Seriously Slushie, your all-day menthol lineup.
Did you know menthol and mint flavours make up some of the most popular categories in UK vaping? Many ex-smokers and flavour seekers turn to menthol vape liquid for a cool, refreshing alternative. What this really means is that when done right, they offer a clean, crisp throat hit with minimal lingering sweetness or irritation.
By menthol vape liquids, I mean e-liquids with menthol as the core flavouring, often blended with additives or cooling agents for extra chill. Key terms to grasp: menthol concentration, PG/VG ratio, and nicotine format (salts vs freebase). In this shorter guide, you’ll see key takeaways, device-match tips, real product examples from Astro Vape, flavour longevity tricks, and FAQs, all designed to help you pick and enjoy menthol e-liquid UK options without feeling overwhelmed.
Key Takeaways
- Match your menthol intensity to your device type
- Use moderate nicotine strength to avoid harshness
- Rotate flavours or “top up” with ice drops to keep chill fresh
- Clean coils and tanks often when menthol dulls
- Only purchase TPD-compliant, reputable menthol e-liquids
Why Menthol Feels Fresh
Freshness in vaping comes from how clean and sharp the cooling effect feels, without residue or dullness clouding it.
Cooling Sensation & Menthol
Menthol activates cool receptors in your throat and tongue. The stronger the concentration, the sharper the chill, but too much can numb your palate. PG helps to carry flavour and lets menthol stand out, while VG smooths it out.
Menthol vs Mint
Menthol is sharper and more intense; mint is softer and sweeter. Many blends mix the two to soften the edge but preserve the chill.
What this means is a blend that balances menthol with supporting flavours (fruit, mint, mild base) often wins for all-day vaping.
Matching Flavour to Device
Your setup matters nearly as much as the liquid you pick.
Pod Kits & Nic Salts
For pod kits or low-watt devices, go for nic salts with moderate menthol. For instance, Menthol Mojito (Bar Juice 5000) is listed at ~£3.99 and is designed to hit clean and smooth on pod systems.
Sub-Ohm / Cloud Setups
In higher power setups, a shortfill with moderate menthol and fruit layers works better; you get flavour and chill without overdoing it. One such example is Seriously Slushie Berry Watermelon, a fruity + icy blend.
Top-Up / Boosters
If your tank starts tasting flat, a drop or two of V4POUR Ice Drops (10ml, ~£2.50) can revive that menthol snap.
Also note V4POUR Strawberry Menthol (10ml, ~£2.50) gives you a fruit + chill hybrid, ideal when pure menthol feels too harsh.

How to Pick Nicotine & Format
Nic Salt vs Freebase
Nic salts are gentler and absorb faster, ideal for low-wattage devices. Freebase works better at higher wattages, but menthol can feel harsher at higher strengths.
Strength Guide
Here’s a simple strength guide:
|
Smoker Level |
Suggested mg |
|
Heavy (20+ cigs/day) |
12–20 mg nic salts |
|
Moderate (10–20 cigs/day) |
6–12 mg |
|
Light / occasional |
3 mg or zero |
Sticking lower gives you more room for flavour and longer sessions without throat fatigue.
Maintaining Freshness
Menthol demands a bit more care. Here’s how to keep it crisp:
- Rotate flavours; don’t vape menthol continuously.
- Clean your tank or coil every 2–3 fills.
- Seal bottles, avoid heat and light.
- Replace coils as soon as you smell metallic or dull menthol.
High “ice” additive stresses coils, so don’t overdo them.
Real Examples
Case: “Lucy” used to smoke menthol cigarettes. She picked Menthol Mojito 10mg and steadily phased out cigarettes in 4 weeks. She said: “The chill hits without harshness, and I no longer crave that old menthol smoke taste.”
Case: “Owen” uses a sub-ohm rig. During the day, he vapes Seriously Slushie Berry Watermelon. In the evening, he adds a drop of V4POUR Ice Drops to bring back chill. He avoided flavour fatigue and stayed refreshed.
