The Best Menthol E-Liquids to Try in 2026

Vampire Vape Heisenberg Shortfill

Heisenberg by Vampire Vape might just be the most talked-about menthol shortfill in the UK at the moment, but not through hype, but more because of the flavour profile, which is hard to replicate.

The underlying base is a cool, sharp menthol with a lovely mix of berries, a hint of aniseed, and a faintly sweet (almost fizzy) quality that's difficult to pin down exactly. Maybe that's why it's built such a loyal following.

It's not a simple menthol. If you come to it expecting something clean and uncomplicated, you might be surprised. Then again, it is the complexity that makes it interesting, as the menthol cools the whole profile without dominating.

To top it all off, you have a nice undercurrent of berry and aniseed notes that add depth, keeping it from tasting one-dimensional.

Seriously Cool Mint Shortfill

Seriously's Pod Fill 2 range takes a simple approach with Cool Mint, creating fresh mint layered with an icy finish, and nothing else competing for space. It's designed specifically for MTL pod kits, with a 50:50 PG/VG ratio that delivers a smoother throat hit suited to lower-wattage devices.

The mint comes through first, bright and clean rather than sweet, with the ice building steadily and finishing on a genuinely refreshing, cold exhale. There's no fruit undertone to work through here, so if you want something closer to a classic mint than a fruit-menthol hybrid, this is the pick.

It's a solid everyday option for anyone who finds the sweeter slushie or candy-style menthols a bit much, and the 100ml bottle (rated for up to 15,000 puffs) means it'll last through regular use.

Fruza Double Menthol Shortfill

Fruza's Double Menthol shortfill is built around one thing: a stronger, more concentrated menthol hit than most shortfills on this list attempt. Where Drip's Menthol keeps things clean and singular, Fruza pushes the cooling intensity further, layering menthol on menthol for a sharper, more sustained chill.

On the inhale, there's no fruit or sweetness to soften it, just a crisp, icy hit that builds through the vape and stays cool all the way to the exhale. It's a good option if standard menthol shortfills feel too mild for your taste, or if you're chasing that intensified, almost medicinal cool that only a double-strength blend can deliver.

With a 50:50 PG/VG ratio, it's also more flexible than most 70:30 shortfills, working well across a wider range of devices, including lower-wattage MTL setups.

Drip Menthol 100ml Shortfill

Drip's Menthol is uncomplicated by design. The first thing you notice is a distinct lack of fruit or sweetness, and with no layered profile, the end result is a clean, cool menthol from inhale to exhale. If you find flavoured menthol e-liquids too ‘busy’, or just want something that replicates the sensation of a menthol cigarette without any added complexity, this is a great option.

The menthol itself is well-calibrated, and it's strong enough to feel nice and cool without crossing into harsh, ice-cold, sharp territory. It's also quite smooth in the throat, which is a good thing at higher volumes.

The 100ml bottle is great for anyone who gets through juice quickly and wants a simple, faff-free option to keep stocked up.

Imp Jar Sweet Menthol 50ml Shortfill

Imp Jar's Sweet Menthol makes this selection because of its 50:50 PG/VG ratio, which is more versatile than the regular 70:30 shortfills. It can be used in a wider range of devices (including lower-wattage setups), without requiring a dedicated sub-ohm kit.

The flavour profile is menthol with a sweet edge, giving a cooling effect that is present but restrained compared to pure menthol options. You might describe it as closer to a mild mint than an aggressive, ‘in-your-face’ ice blast.

It's a good crossover option, and a good choice if you are easing into menthol vaping, but also satisfying enough for seasoned vapers who want something lighter in their personal range.

Bar Juice 5000 Fresh Menthol Mojito Nic Salt

Bar Juice 5000 built its range around the flavour profiles of popular disposable vapes, and Fresh Menthol Mojito is one of its most distinctive entries. Rather than regular menthol, the profile draws on the classic mojito combination, with the menthol integrating naturally into that cocktail character.

On the inhale, the lime comes through first with a bright, slightly tart citrus note. The mint builds through the middle, and the menthol cools the exhale cleanly, leaving a fresh, herbal finish.

It's noticeably more complex than a standard menthol nic salt, so it's a great choice for vapers who want something with a bit more going on without straying far from the cool, refreshing sensation they are probably after.

Vaporesso DojoLiq Cool Menthol Nic Salt

Vaporesso is best known for its pod kits and vape hardware, but the DojoLiq Cool Menthol nic salt range is a well-considered extension of that. Designed to pair with their stock devices, this e-liquid is compatible with any standard MTL pod kit.

The profile is clean and precise, with no fruit, sweetness, or complex layers. Instead, you have a smooth, cool menthol from inhale to exhale. What distinguishes it from other pure menthol nic salts is the quality of the cooling. It's measured and even throughout the vape, building gently rather than hitting you sharply on the inhale.

Elf Bar ElfLiq Mr Blue Nic Salt

ElfLiq is Elf Bar's very own, dedicated nic salt range, and Mr Blue is one of its more popular fruit-menthol flavours, with a profile that pairs a sweet, ripe blueberry base with a sharp menthol finish. The blueberry comes through very clearly on the inhale, with a gradual menthol taste that builds through the exhale.

Overall, the end result is a clean, cooling layer rather than an aggressive icy blast, though the blueberry note is a nice addition, thanks to its sweetness and fullness without tipping too far into artificial territory. It reads as a candy-like blueberry rather than a fresh-fruit one, and suits the ElfLiq house style to a tee.

The menthol complements it well, as it's present enough to feel refreshing but held back enough to let the fruit character take the lead. If you have enjoyed Elf Bar disposables in blueberry or blueberry-ice profiles, we expect you will find this immediately familiar.

Elux Legend Blackcurrant Menthol Nic Salt

Elux Legend has taken the flavours from its disposable range and, rather cleverly, put them into nic salts, with Blackcurrant Menthol being a fine example of the fruit-menthol style. Blackcurrant is a much bolder fruit than most other flavours that get paired with menthol, and it's sharper, too. That tartness gives it more spine than a blueberry or strawberry could ever manage, and that's why we love it.

The blackcurrant announces itself quickly, on the first inhale - rich and true to its name - with a lovely menthol taste that follows immediately after, building steadily until the exhale runs clean and cool through the fruit's depth.

Overall, those two sit together well, and being so tart already, the blackcurrant demands less of the menthol. It's a unique flavour, and one we are sure you will find unique and refreshing.

Dinner Lady Spearmint Menthol Nic Salt

Dinner Lady is one of the more established names in UK vaping, known for producing consistently high-quality e-liquids across multiple categories. Their Spearmint Menthol takes a strikingly different approach to the other menthol nic salts on this list.

The spearmint note is herbal and slightly sweet, closer to a fresh sprig of mint than to a menthol boiled sweet. With a menthol element that is present as a cool, clean backdrop, without actually dominating the experience.

The result is something far more nuanced and less punchy than a regular ice-heavy menthol, giving a natural, almost botanical quality that makes it feel genuinely refreshing rather than just straight-up cold.

Bottom Line

Menthol vape juice in the UK spans a broad range, from clean menthol options like Drip Menthol and ElfLiq Menthol at one end, to Vampire Vape Heisenberg and Bar Juice 5000 Fresh Menthol Mojito at the other, offering layered, complex profiles where menthol is part of a broader flavour structure.

As is always the case with vape flavours, the right option depends on your device, your preferred nicotine format, and how much you want the menthol to stand on its own versus sit alongside other flavours. Either way, there's enough variety here to find something that fits.
