Cherry Cola Vape Juice UK: Best Picks Reviewed 2026

By:

There's something about cherry cola as a vape flavour that just works. It's nostalgic, sweet, and that fizzy cola backbone gives it a crispness that cuts through nicotine hit nicely.

Cherry cola vape juice has been a fixture in UK vape shops for years, and with good reason. It delivers a tantalising balance of fruit and soda that a lot of vapers keep coming back to.

But not all cherry cola e-liquids are going to taste the same. Some nail the cherry, others lean heavily on a synthetic cola note, and a handful manage to pull off that moreish fizzy sweetness that makes the flavour so appealing in the first place.

That’s why we have carefully selected a list of the best cherry cola vape juice based on our customers’ reviews and sales.

TL;DR

  • Cherry cola vape juice works best as a nicotine salt, with the smooth delivery, which suits the soft, soda profile

  • Bar Juice 5000 is the go-to for raw flavour accuracy; ElfLiq wins on all-day vapeability

  • Riot Squad Bar Edtn is the cleanest, freshest interpretation with more cola can flavour

  • Double Drip Fizzy Cherry Cola is a freebase nicotine option that delivers full-on candy nostalgia

  • Bar Series Blends Cherry Fizz X Cola Ice is the go-to iced option with a well-balanced menthol finish

How we tested

We tested five cherry cola nic salts side by side in the same refillable pod setup, a XROS 5 Mini, using a fresh 0.6ohm coil for each flavour. The biggest difference was how brands handled the “fizz” effect. Some edged more towards candy sweetness, while others recreated the slightly dry cola finish you get from a real fizzy drink. Bar Juice 5000 Cherry Cola stood out because the cola note hit first, followed by a darker cherry flavour on the exhale instead of both flavours blending into one sweet profile. After around 1000 puffs, the flavour stayed consistent without developing the syrupy aftertaste that some sweeter cherry blends can create in smaller pod devices. That balance made it the easiest all day vape out of the group.

Top 5 Cherry Cola Vape Juice in the UK

Bar Juice 5000 Cherry Cola Nic Salt

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Vapers who want a nuanced, flavour-packed cherry cola that doesn't taste like sweets.

Nicotine options: 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 60:40

“Really nice Cherry Cola flavour, bold, fizzy, and a little sharper than the usual sweet blends. Smooth hit and very satisfying.”

If you've spent any time around bar salt liquids, Bar Juice 5000 probably needs no introduction. Their Cherry Cola nic salt is one of their stronger flavour performances. It features sweet, tangy cherry up front, followed by a cola base that actually has some depth to it.  

We rate Bar Juice 5000 higher than most for throat hit consistency, and this one doesn't disappoint at 20mg. On any pod kit, the draw is clean with no spitback, and the flavour holds up well from the first puff to the last.

The cherry note here is more black cherry than fresh maraschino, which gives it a slightly richer, less candy-like character. That's either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you're after.

ElfLiq Cherry Cola Nic Salt by Elf Bar

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Former disposable users transitioning to refillables; all-day vapers who want something easy.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 50:50

“Favourite flavour, it also lasts all the way rather than losing taste in the liquid.”

ElfLiq was always going to be a talking point in any cherry cola roundup. These liquids were developed to replicate popular Elf Bar disposable flavours in refillable 10ml format, and Cherry Cola is one of the better translations in the range.

The profile is brighter and sweeter than Bar Juice 5000, with more of a light, fizzy cherry and that familiar cola sweetness, immediately recognisable to anyone who's tried the disposable version. It's a more approachable flavour, and the 50/50 base makes it versatile across most beginner-friendly pod kits.

ElfLiq bottles taste the same as disposables. That's not something you can say about every brand. Another standout feature of Cherry Cola by ElfLiq is the flavour that carries through the life of the pod rather than fading halfway through.

Overall, it’s an all-day vape that is less demanding on the palate than something more intensely fruit-forward.

Riot Squad Cherry Cola Nic Salt

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Vapers who want a well‑balanced, slightly cooler cherry cola; anyone moving from disposables to nic salts.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 60:40

“Excellent, lovely taste.”

Riot Squad’s Bar Edtn range is designed to mirror popular disposable‑like flavours, and their Cherry Cola is a slick, all-day vape option with a clean, fizzy profile.

It delivers cola‑soda freshness at first, then adds a smooth cherry note that’s sweet without being cloying.

This tastes just like a cherry cola can from the fridge, making it a great option if you want a fizzy cola‑based all‑day vape that doesn’t overwhelm your taste buds. The throat hit at 20mg is noticeable but rounded, so it suits ex‑smokers who still want a bit of bite without the roughness of a harsh tobacco.

Bar Series Blends Cherry Fizz X Cola Ice Nic Salt

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Menthol and ice vape fans who want a fruitier, more complex profile.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 50:50

“Lovely flavour.”

This one's for the iced vape crowd. Bar Series Blends specialise in mashup flavours that combine popular disposable bar profiles, and Cherry Fizz X Cola Ice does exactly what the name suggests. It is a bold red cherry, sherbet fizz, cola, and a menthol chill at the backend.

The cooling here is noticeable but not overwhelming. It's more of a refreshing finish than a full ice blast, which keeps the fruit and cola flavours readable throughout the draw.

This is a go-to option for summer vaping or if you generally run menthol liquids and want something with more flavour complexity. On a tight MTL draw, it's crisp and clean. On something slightly more open, it can feel a touch thin on the exhale, so pair it accordingly.

It's not for everyone, particularly if you prefer your cherry cola completely straight, but as a beginner-to-intermediate ice vape, it's one of the better cola-based options in the bar salt category.

Double Drip Fizzy Cherry Cola

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Vapers who love a sweet‑shop fizzy candy profile; anyone chasing a strong, fizzy cherry‑cola‑bottle nostalgia hit.

Nicotine options: 3mg, 6mg, 12mg or 18mg

PG/VG: 50:50

“Tastes exactly like cola cherry. One of my favourite liquids I have tried.”

Double Drip is one of the UK’s most iconic e‑liquid brands, known for wild, candy‑heavy blends, and their Fizzy Cherry Cola is a direct homage to classic fizzy cola‑bottle sweets. The 50:50 freebase version dials up throat and flavour over pure clouds, making it ideal for MTL or low‑powered devices instead of sub‑ohm tanks.

On the draw, you get a bright, juicy cherry front that sits right on top of a fizzy cola backbone, with a distinct sherbet‑like tang that lifts the mix and keeps it from turning syrupy.

Keep in mind that this vape juice is punchy but also playful, a kind of vape anyone would enjoy to rotate flavours or try something slightly more intense.

How to Choose the Right Cherry Cola E-Liquid

The flavour category is consistent enough that most options here will satisfy a general cherry cola craving, but the five picks above all do something slightly different, so it's worth being deliberate.

  • Cherry-forward vs cola-forward. Bar Juice 5000 delivers a richer black cherry character. Riot Squad is more cola soda than fruit. ElfLiq and Double Drip land somewhere in between. None is objectively better, and it all comes down to which half of the flavour you want to taste most.

  • Sweet and candy vs clean and fresh. Double Drip is the candy-shop pick. If that's too intense for an all-day vape, Riot Squad's cleaner soda profile is easier to chain throughout the day without flavour fatigue.

  • Straight or iced. Bar Series Blends Cherry Fizz X Cola Ice is the only explicitly iced option on our list, and it earns its place thanks to a well-balanced menthol finish rather than just cold for the sake of it. All the others are straight profiles, though bar salts as a category often carry trace cooling even without advertising it.

  • Nic salt vs freebase. Four of the five options here are nic salts, which means smooth, fast-acting nicotine delivery well suited to pod kits and MTL setups. Double Drip is the exception as it is freebase nicotine in a 50:50 format, which gives more of a traditional throat hit and suits vapers who've already reduced their strength.

  • Device compatibility. The 50:50 and 60:40 liquids here all work well in pod kits, vape pens, and higher-resistance coil setups. They're not designed for sub-ohm DTL kits. If you're running a high-powered device, look towards high VG shortfills instead.

  • Nicotine strength. If you’re switching from cigarettes, consider 20mg nic salt to get the fastest, cleanest craving relief. However, if you want to reduce nicotine consumption, the list offers 10mg vape juices that are well-balanced. The lower strengths, like 5mg, and the freebase options in Double Drip are there when nicotine is less of a priority and flavour stands out more.

Final Thoughts

Cherry cola vape juice has earned its place as a consistent UK vape staple, not a novelty flavour that comes and goes with the seasons. It sits alongside other popular UK vape flavours like menthol, fruit, and dessert, but holds its own thanks to that fizzy soda twist.

If you're starting out with cherry cola e-liquid and aren't sure what to choose, Bar Juice 5000 is a solid first pick, with flavour accuracy hard to argue with, suitable for most setups.

ElfLiq is the reliable choice for ex-disposable users who just want consistency. Riot Squad is worth grabbing if you want something a bit lighter and more sessionable. Double Drip is the one if you want the sweetshop hit rather than the soda hit. And Bar Series Blends is the iced option that doesn't sacrifice flavour to get there.

FAQs

Most of the nic salt options here start from 5mg, though Double Drip Fizzy Cherry Cola is also available in a very low 3mg freebase version if you're barely supplementing with nicotine. Some brands do offer 0mg versions; make sure to check individual product listings as availability varies.

Nic salts use a smoother salt-based nicotine form that delivers faster satisfaction at higher strengths without the harshness. Freebase, in comparison, uses traditional nicotine and tends to suit vapers at lower strengths who prefer a more pronounced throat hit.

Yes, all nicotine-containing e-liquids sold by Vape Superstore are notified with the MHRA under the Tobacco Products Directive, capped at 10ml per bottle and 20mg of nicotine strength.

Bar Series Blends Cherry Fizz X Cola Ice is iced. The other options are designed as straight cherry cola profiles without intentional cooling. As a general note, bar salt liquids, as a category, sometimes carry trace cooling agents.
