Fruity, Icy, Sweet or Creamy? How to Choose the Right Flavour for You

Fruity, Icy, Sweet or Creamy? How to Choose the Right Flavour for You

Matthew Abercrombie |

Because life’s too short for bad vape juice

One of the most exciting (and overwhelming) parts of getting into vaping is choosing your flavour. I mean — walk into any vape shop or scroll through our site and you’ll find hundreds. Strawberry ice cream? Grape soda? Vanilla custard? It’s a pick 'n' mix wonderland.

But when you're standing there with five different bottles in your hand wondering “Where do I even start?”, it helps to know what type of flavour suits your taste and vaping style.

Here’s a breakdown of the four big flavour families — fruity, icy, sweetshop and creamy — and how to figure out which one belongs in your kit.

🍓 Fruity Flavours

Who They’re Best For:

  • New vapers coming off flavoured disposables
  • Anyone who likes bold, juicy, clean-tasting vapes
  • People who don’t want anything too sweet or too rich

Fruity vapes are some of the most popular flavours around, and for good reason. They’re punchy, refreshing, and easy to vape all day without feeling too heavy.

You’ll find everything from classic blends (like strawberry, mango or apple) to more adventurous mixes (think dragonfruit lychee or blue pear).

“Fruity flavours were my gateway into vaping. I started with Elfliq Kiwi Passionfruit Guava and never looked back — it’s still in my rotation.”

❄️ Icy & Menthol Flavours

Who They’re Best For:

  • Ex-menthol cigarette smokers
  • Vapers who want a crisp, clean finish
  • Anyone who loves a “cooling” hit on the exhale

Icy flavours add a cool menthol or ice note to your juice — some are subtle, others feel like chewing an arctic mint.
You’ll often see fruity-ice hybrids like “Watermelon Ice” or “Cherry Menthol”, which give you the best of both worlds.

“When I quit menthol cigarettes, Gummy Bear Ice got me through that first week. It had just enough bite without being overpowering.”

Try if you like:

  • Mint gum or polos
  • Cold fizzy drinks
  • Fresh breath sweets
  • That “clean” vape feeling

🍬 Sweet & Candy Flavours

Who They’re Best For:

  • Vapers with a sweet tooth
  • Ex-disposable fans looking for similar flavours
  • Those who want bold, nostalgic profiles

Sweetshop flavours replicate fizzy drinks, sour candy, bubblegum, cola bottles — you name it. They’re bold, fun, and often come with a tangy twist.

“When I want something fun and loud, I grab my Soda King Blue Razz Cherry. It tastes like childhood.”

Just keep in mind — these tend to be sweeter on coils, so you may need to change your pod a little more often.

Try if you like:

  • Pick 'n' mix sweets
  • Slushies
  • Fruit chews
  • Disposable vape flavour profiles

🍮 Creamy & Dessert Flavours

Who They’re Best For:

  • Vapers who want something rich and indulgent
  • People switching from smoking who want that “smoky-sweet” fix
  • Those who treat vaping like a flavour hobby

Creamy and dessert-style vapes include custards, cakes, biscuits, and vanillas. They’re comforting, smooth, and often feel like a proper treat.

“Kyle on our team swears by Ohm Brew Rhubarb & Custard — he says the creamy custard and tart rhubarb combo is ‘pure nostalgia in a puff.’”

These flavours are often best in lower wattage setups, as they can gunk up coils if pushed too hard.

Try if you like:

  • Puddings
  • Coffee with milk or syrup
  • Rich, smooth vapes
  • All-day comfort flavours

🧠 Still Not Sure? Here’s How to Pick

  • Start with fruity or icy if you’re new — they’re crowd-pleasers
  • Choose sweet or dessert if you want something indulgent
  • Grab a few 10ml bottles in different styles and experiment
  • Don’t forget about nicotine strength and PG/VG ratio — ask us if you’re not sure what works best for your device

We always say: flavours are personal. What’s sickly to one person is heaven to another — and that’s the fun of it.
