Strawberry Ice Vape Juice - Best Brands Ranked (2026)

By:

Strawberry Ice is one of those flavours that just refuses to go away. It is a combination of a sweet fruit with a cool exhale that works in a pod kit pretty much anywhere. The problem is that there are a lot of versions of this flavour on the market right now, and they're not all equal. Some lean heavily on the menthol, some go sweeter, and only a few manage to actually nail the balance.

We've pulled together the five most popular Strawberry Ice nic salt e-liquids at Vape Superstore and run through each one properly. Keep reading to find out each vape juice’s flavour profile, nicotine hit, who it suits, and where it falls short. If you're switching from a strawberry ice disposable and want to find a refillable match, this is a good place to start.

TL;DR

  • They use a 50/50 to 60/40 PG/VG ratio, making them suited to mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kits

  • The ice intensity varies noticeably between brands, which is worth knowing before you commit

  • Bar Juice 5000 and ELFLIQ tend to attract the most repeat buyers in this flavour

  • If you're coming off disposables, the 20mg strength is usually the right starting point

What Makes a Good Strawberry Ice E-Liquid?

Before we get into individual brands, it's worth knowing what separates a solid Strawberry Ice vape from a mediocre one.

The strawberry note needs to taste like actual fruit rather than something from a sweet shop. Overly synthetic strawberry reads as artificial quickly, especially when you're using it all day.

The ice element is the part brands handle differently. Some go with a mild menthol that softens the sweetness, others layer in a sharper cooling agent that can catch you off guard on the draw. Neither is wrong, but you do want to know which one you're getting.

All vape juice products on our list are nicotine salts. They smooth out the throat hit compared to freebase, which is why you can comfortably vape 20mg without it feeling harsh. For heavier smokers making the switch, 20mg tends to satisfy the cravings faster. Lighter smokers or those already a while into the switch might do better on 10mg.

5 Best Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquids

Elf Bar ELFLIQ Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquid

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Ex-disposable vapers wanting a disposable flavour match.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 50:50

Ice level: Mild to medium

“Easy to use and the taste is great, will be sticking with this flavour."

ELFLIQ is the official e-liquid range from Elf Bar, built to mirror what people were getting from the Elf Bar 600 disposable. If you were on Strawberry Ice Elf Bars and want to carry that flavour into a refillable setup, this is the most straightforward way to do it.

The flavour itself sits in the medium range of the sweetness scale. There's a clear strawberry note on the inhale, which is not overly ripe, but more like a fresh berry than a candy version.

The ice on the exhale is present but restrained. This is actually one of its strengths. You get the cooling sensation without it dominating the whole draw. Some people find it less icy than they expected, and that's a fair observation, but for all-day use, it's the right call. Heavy menthol gets tiring quickly.

I compared ELFLIQ Strawberry Ice with a fresh Elf Bar 600 Strawberry Ice prefilled pod version. I used a XROS 5 Mini with a 0.6ohm coil. The flavour match was close, although the prefilled pod had a slightly denser first puff while ELFLIQ tasted a little cleaner in the strawberry note.

Bar Juice 5000 Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquid

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Anyone looking for bold flavour and more nicotine strength variety

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 60:40

Ice level: Medium to strong

“As with all of this brand's products, good flavours without tasting too chemical."

Bar Juice 5000 is a brand I rate quite highly, particularly for throat hit. They've built their range around recreating that punchy, direct nicotine delivery that matches the feel of disposable vapes. It's designed to fill the gap the 5000-puff bars left behind when disposables got restricted.

Strawberry Ice from Bar Juice is one of the more assertive versions of this flavour. The strawberry is richer and noticeably sweeter than the ELFLIQ version, that tastes more like a ripe strawberry jam than fresh fruit. The ice layer is more prominent here, too. On the exhale, you'll get a proper cooling finish that lingers. If you liked heavy ice on your disposables, this will land closer to what you remember.

Lost Mary Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquid

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Vapers who want a cleaner, more natural strawberry note.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 50:50

Ice level: Medium

Lost Mary has built a strong following off the back of the Lost Mary BM600 disposable, and their nic salt range uses the same flavour profiles. Strawberry Ice is one of their bestsellers for a reason. It's a well-balanced take on a popular profile.

What stands out with Lost Mary's version is the clarity of the strawberry. It's clean rather than heavy, and more of a red berry note than an overly sweet interpretation.

The ice is moderate, sitting somewhere between ELFLIQ and Bar Juice on the coolness scale. It doesn't overpower the fruit, which means you can genuinely taste the strawberry throughout the draw rather than it disappearing under a blast of menthol.

This one's a good pick for someone who finds some strawberry ice vape juices too sharp or too sweet. Lost Mary tends to tune their liquids to be a bit more natural tasting, and Strawberry Ice is a good example of that.

Dojoliq Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquid

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Vapers who want a polished, premium feel liquid from a trusted brand.

Nicotine options: 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 55:45

Ice level: Medium

Dojoliq is Vaporesso's premium e-liquid line. The Strawberry Ice here is builds a strawberry base that aims for freshly picked berries, with a cool ice note that chases it on the inhale.

The flavour is cleaner than most and the strawberry feels a little more developed: slightly warmer on the inhale, with a richer midsection before the cool exhale kicks in.

The menthol note is crisp rather than harsh. It's the kind of liquid that feels smoother from the first draw, which is partly down to the salt nicotine formulation being a touch finer.

Elux Legend Strawberry Ice Nic Salt E-Liquid

Triple Mango Nic Salt E-Liquid Bar Juice 5000

Best for: Ex-disposable users specifically coming from Elux Legend devices.

Nicotine options: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg

PG/VG: 50:50

Ice level: Strong

“Excellent taste stopped me smoking 90% of cigarettes."

Elux Legend is the e-liquid range from the Elux disposable brand, and Strawberry Ice is one of the most used flavours across their lineup. If you've vaped an Elux Legend disposable in this flavour, you'll recognise it immediately. The liquid is tuned to be as close to the disposable experience as possible.

The Elux version leans towards the sweeter, icier end of the spectrum. Strawberry is front and centre on the draw, quite bold, and the menthol is strong on the exhale. It probably has the most pronounced ice hit of the five options here.

This strawberry ice vape will suit some vapers perfectly, particularly those who like the intensity of Elux disposables and want to maintain that profile. For others, it might be a touch much for all-day use.

The menthol was most noticeable at the back of the throat and stayed present for a good 10 seconds after the exhale. That made it the most intense Strawberry Ice in the group for vapers who judge the flavour by its chill. The strawberry still came through clearly, but it shared the draw with the ice rather than sitting above it. This is why Elux feels closer to a disposable than a softer fruit liquid.

Which Device Works Best with Strawberry Ice Nic Salts?

All five of these liquids are built for MTL mouth-to-lung setups with a 50:50 or 60:40 ratio. That means they're not going to work well in a sub-ohm tank or a high-powered box mod.

For beginners, a basic MTL pod kit is the way to go. Something like the OXVA Xlim or Vaporesso XROS handles nic salts well and keeps the draw tight and flavour-forward, which is exactly what these liquids are designed for.

If you're already on a pod kit and finding the flavour muted, check your coil first. A coil that's past its best will dull the taste before anything else. Most MTL mesh coils hold up well for one to two weeks, depending on how heavily you vape. Worth noting that sweet-flavoured liquids like strawberry ice can reduce that slightly, so worth keeping spares around.

Final Thoughts

Strawberry Ice is a reliable flavour, and these five brands each do it differently enough that there's a clear best fit depending on what you're after.

ELFLIQ is the go-to for ex-Elf Bar users wanting a smooth, non-tiring daily vape. Bar Juice 5000 is the one to reach for if you need a proper nicotine hit with a bolder profile. Lost Mary keeps things clean and natural if you prefer fruit over sweetness. Dojoliq adds a premium finish at a highly affordable price point. And Elux Legend is the closest match if the Elux Legend disposable was your go-to before the ban.

Each Strawberry Ice vape juice is different enough that it's worth knowing which direction you prefer before buying six bottles of the same one.

FAQs

Strawberry ice vape juice is an e-liquid that combines a strawberry flavour with a menthol or cooling component. It's one of the most popular flavour combinations in the UK market, particularly in nic salt format for pod kit users.

Absolutely! All five products we listed here are designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices, which are the most beginner-friendly setup available. Pair any of them with a basic pod kit, and you've got a solid starting point.

No you should not. These liquids are formulated for low-power MTL devices. In a sub-ohm setup, the throat hit will be too intense, and the flavour can become harsh. You also risk burning the coil. Stick to pod kits or MTL tanks with higher resistance coils.

Elux Legend Strawberry Ice has the most prominent ice on exhale of the five reviewed here. Bar Juice 5000 comes second. If you prefer a milder cooling effect, ELFLIQ or Lost Mary is the better choice.
