About the Fantango Range by Kingston
Kingston E-Liquids, the UK manufacturer behind our biggest single brand collection, built Fantango around the fruit pairings of the British soft drink aisle: the apple and blackcurrant carton, the lemon lime bottle, the orange and mango can. Every blend in the range reads like a drinks fridge, translated into Kingston's house 70 percent VG shortfill format and priced at the brand's standard £6.50. Within the wider Kingston E-Liquids collection, Fantango is the fruit drink counterpart to the sweet shop and dessert ranges.
What makes the range unusual is its symmetry. Kingston sells each of the five blends twice: once plain, once as an ICE version with a menthol chill layered over the same fruit recipe. Most brands force the choice, offering a fruit straight or iced but rarely both; Fantango's structure means the decision about temperature never costs you the decision about flavour. It also makes the range a natural experiment kit: buy a blend in both versions for £13 and settle the ice question for yourself.
The format is Kingston's standard shortfill. Each bottle holds 100ml of nicotine free liquid in a 120ml bottle, with space for two 10ml nicotine shots, because UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle. Two 18mg shots give a 3mg mix, the usual strength for the sub ohm kits this 70/30 liquid is blended for.
The name deserves a sentence, since everyone asks: Fantango is Kingston's own coinage, a nod to the great British fruit drink tradition rather than any one brand, and the range treats that tradition the way the sweets range treats the pick and mix counter, as source material for faithful liquid translations. It has been part of the catalogue long enough to have earned its regulars, and the plain and ICE pairing structure has stayed intact throughout, which tells you the brand considers it solved rather than a work in progress.
How to Choose Fantango Flavours
The range is five fruit decisions and one temperature decision. Here are the five, from most popular down.
Apple Blackcurrant and Apple Blackcurrant ICE
Best for: fans of the classic British carton blend. Sharp apple over deep blackcurrant, the schoolday juice box grown up. Apple Blackcurrant keeps it smooth; the ICE version adds a frost that sharpens the apple edge.
Lemon and Lime and Lemon and Lime ICE
Best for: citrus purists. The clean two citrus profile of a classic lemon lime soda. Plain is bright and zesty all day; ICE turns it into a frozen limeade.
Strawberry Lime and Strawberry Lime ICE
Best for: sweet and sharp in one draw. Ripe strawberry cut with lime is the range's most cocktail like profile. Plain leans sweet; ICE leans refreshing.
Orange and Mango and Orange and Mango ICE
Best for: tropical drink fans. Juicy orange rounded with soft mango, the can from the corner shop fridge. Plain is warm and smooth; ICE is the same drink over crushed ice.
Grapeberry and Grapeberry ICE
Best for: deep purple fruit lovers. Dark grape with a berry lift, the boldest blend of the five. Plain is rich and rounded; ICE gives it the frozen grape soda finish.
Whichever pair you pick, a shortfill needs nicotine shots if you want nicotine in the final mix.
Choosing between the five fruits is easier with a sense of their weights. Apple Blackcurrant and Grapeberry are the deep, dark end of the range, the blends with the most body and the ones that suit a warm, slow vape. Lemon and Lime is the polar opposite: the lightest, sharpest recipe here, closer to a palate cleanser than a dessert. Strawberry Lime and Orange and Mango sit in the sweet middle, juicy without weight. If you are ordering two, take one from each end rather than two neighbours: a Grapeberry for the evening and a Lemon and Lime for the day covers more ground than any two adjacent blends, and the ICE versions of each stretch the same two bottles across the seasons.
Which Fantango E-Liquid Is Right for You?
These four bottles cover the range's spread: the two bestselling blends, one in each temperature, and the two boldest.
Against the rest of the Kingston family, Fantango sits between two neighbours. If you want your fruit fully frozen rather than lightly chilled, the Chilly Willies slush range goes colder than any Fantango ICE. If you want the fizz more than the fruit, Kingston Soda puts the sparkle first. Fantango is the middle path: drink inspired fruit first, temperature optional, and at £6.50 a bottle the both versions experiment costs less than two pints.
How to Use a Fantango 100ml Shortfill
Two minutes, no measuring: the headspace in every bottle is exactly two nicotine shots' worth.
Step 1: Choose your nicotine shots
Two 10ml 18mg shots from our nicotine shots range give a 3mg mix. One gives roughly 1.5mg; none keeps the bottle nicotine free. For ICE versions, an ice nicotine shot deepens the chill without changing the fruit.
Step 2: Remove the nib and pour
Pull the dripper nib, add the shots, and press it firmly back until it seats flush so the bottle cannot leak.
Step 3: Shake for a full minute
Cap and shake hard for at least 60 seconds so the nicotine distributes evenly through the 70VG liquid, then let the bubbles settle.
Step 4: Fill, prime and vape
Fill your tank or pod, and on a fresh coil wet the cotton directly and wait five minutes before firing so the thick liquid saturates fully.
A tip unique to a paired range like this: if you own both versions of a blend, you can mix your own ice level. A tank filled half from the plain bottle and half from the ICE bottle sits exactly between the two, and because both are the same fruit recipe at the same ratio, the blend is seamless. Plenty of Fantango regulars run plain in the morning and step the ice up through the day this way. Citrus heavy blends like Lemon and Lime are also gentler on coils than sweetened dessert liquids, so expect solid coil life across the range.
Fantango Plain vs Fantango ICE: Key Differences Explained
The range's defining choice deserves its own comparison. Same fruit recipes, two finishes.
| Feature | Plain Versions | ICE Versions |
|---|
| Fruit recipe | Identical | Identical |
| Finish | Smooth, warm exhale | Cool menthol exhale |
| Fruit clarity | Fullest, nothing masked | Slightly sharpened, top notes lifted |
| All day comfort | Softer on the throat | Fresher, can fatigue less in heat |
| Best season | Year round | Summer favourite |
| Closest Kingston neighbours | Get Fruity range | Chilly Willies, Menthol range |
| Price | £6.50 | £6.50 |
| Best suited for | Flavour first vapers | Cold exhale fans |
If you have never vaped an iced fruit, start plain: you can always add ice by blending or switching, but a strong menthol note is harder to subtract once you are used to the fruit with it. Former menthol cigarette smokers usually go straight to the ICE column and stay there. There is no wrong answer, which is exactly why Kingston builds the range in pairs.
The table also understates one seasonal truth: most Fantango regulars are not permanently in either column. The common pattern is a drift toward the ICE versions from late spring and back to plain as the evenings draw in, the same migration soft drink sales make between summer and winter. Because both versions of every blend are always £6.50 and always in stock, following your own seasonal drift costs nothing, and the vapers who embrace it end up knowing this small range more thoroughly than most people know ranges three times its size.
Who Should Use Fantango E-Liquid?
Soft drink flavour fans
Every blend maps to a fridge classic: the apple blackcurrant carton, the lemon lime bottle, the tropical can. If that is how you pick a drink, this is how you pick a vape.
Undecided ice vapers
No other range we stock lets you buy the identical fruit recipe with and without menthol to settle the question for £13.
All day fruit vapers
Drink style profiles are built to be sessionable: juicy but not dessert sweet, which keeps them fresh over a full day's vaping.
Budget sub ohm users
At £6.50 per 100ml, roughly 7p per ml mixed, Fantango runs at a fraction of prefilled and disposable costs.
The range also fits vapers stepping down from iced disposables gradually: start on the ICE version of your blend, then mix each tank with a rising share of the plain bottle until the menthol is gone, all without ever changing flavour.

How Long Does a Fantango Shortfill Last?
A mixed 120ml bottle lasts a moderate direct to lung vaper around two to three weeks at 5ml to 10ml per day, roughly 24 fills of a standard 5ml tank. Heavier use on a powerful kit can halve that; lighter pod use stretches it past a month. If you run the popular two bottle setup, one plain and one ICE of the same blend, the pair covers most of six weeks between them. These figures are estimates based on average usage conditions and your own pace will vary.
Fruit drink profiles are at their brightest young, so vape these rather than cellar them. Store bottles capped, upright and away from heat and light, mix each bottle as you open it rather than dosing both on arrival, and check the best before date printed on the label when the order lands. The ICE versions hold their edge well: menthol is a stable note and does not fade ahead of the fruit.
The paired structure adds one storage advantage nobody mentions: because plain and ICE versions of a blend share the same fruit recipe, an opened pair ages at the same rate, and blending the two in the tank hides any slight fading in either bottle. In practice a Fantango pair stays enjoyable to the last millilitre more reliably than two unrelated fruit bottles would, which is a quiet argument for buying the range the way Kingston designed it: two by two.
Buying Fantango E-Liquid in the UK
UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle and 20mg per ml in strength. Fantango complies by being sold at 0mg: each 100ml bottle is legal precisely because it contains no nicotine at the point of sale. The nicotine shots you add are TPD compliant 10ml bottles, notified to the MHRA as nicotine containing products before sale, with child resistant caps and UK labelling. A finished 120ml at 3mg, which is 0.3 percent nicotine, sits far inside every legal limit. All Kingston stock we sell is genuine UK manufactured liquid, not grey import.
Despite the soft drink inspiration, e-liquid is never for drinking: store every bottle capped and out of reach of children and pets, especially once nicotine shots are mixed in.
Safety & Age Restriction
As with all nicotine containing products, e-liquid mixed with nicotine shots carries a risk of nicotine dependency and may cause irritation for some users. Vaping products are intended for existing adult smokers and vapers and should be used responsibly.
- You must be 18 or over to purchase vaping products from this website
- Nicotine containing e-liquid is capped at 10ml bottles and 20mg per ml under UK TPD rules; these shortfills are sold at 0mg
- Keep all e-liquids out of sight and reach of children and pets
Multi Buy and Fantango Value Guidance
The Fantango arithmetic matches the rest of the Kingston catalogue and beats nearly everything outside it. A £6.50 bottle plus two £1 nicotine shots is £8.50 for 120ml of finished 3mg liquid, close to 7p per ml, against £35 to £45 for the same volume in 10ml bottles and £2 to £3 per ml in disposables. Kingston 100ml bottles typically list at £8 to £12 at other UK stockists, so even the brand's own liquid rarely comes this cheap. The range's natural multi buy is the pair: both versions of your blend for £13, or £17 mixed with four shots, covering a month or more of vaping with the ice level in your hands.
Budget one 18mg shot per 50ml when ordering and add them from the nicotine shots collection in the same basket. If one Fantango blend becomes a fixed favourite, its closest 500ml relatives, including the soda styled Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade, live in the Kingston 500ml megasaver range.
Stock levels across the ten bottles are maintained together, so a plain version being available means its ICE twin almost always is too, and pairs can be ordered with confidence at any time of year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fantango e-liquid?
Fantango is Kingston's fruit drink inspired shortfill range: five blends, Apple Blackcurrant, Lemon and Lime, Strawberry Lime, Orange and Mango and Grapeberry, each sold in a plain and an ICE version. All ten bottles are 100ml shortfills at £6.50, made in the UK.
What is the difference between Fantango and Fantango ICE?
The fruit recipe is identical; the ICE versions add a menthol chill over the top. Plain gives the fullest fruit warmth, ICE sharpens the top notes and cools the exhale. Owning both lets you blend your own ice level in the tank.
What nicotine strength is Fantango e-liquid?
Every bottle is sold at 0mg, which is 0 percent nicotine. Add two 18mg nicotine shots for a 3mg mix, one for roughly 1.5mg, or vape it nicotine free after shaking.
Are Fantango shortfills legal in the UK?
Yes. UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml bottles and 20mg per ml. Shortfills comply by being sold nicotine free in larger bottles, with nicotine added separately via compliant 10ml shots. All stock is UK labelled and sold to adults aged 18 and over only.
How much does Fantango e-liquid cost?
Every bottle is £6.50 per 100ml shortfill at Hulme Vapes. With two nicotine shots at around £1 each, a finished 120ml of 3mg liquid costs roughly £8.50, which works out near 7p per ml.
What devices work best with Fantango?
The 70 percent VG mix suits sub ohm tanks and pods with coils below 1.0 ohm, and wicks well in most 0.6 to 0.8 ohm pod coils. A tight 50/50 mouth to lung coil will wick it too slowly and can taste burnt.
How long does a mixed Fantango bottle last?
Around two to three weeks for a moderate direct to lung vaper, roughly 24 fills of a 5ml tank. Estimates are based on average usage conditions, and heavy vaping shortens them.
Is Fantango related to the Tango or Fanta drinks?
No. Fantango is Kingston's own range name for its fruit drink inspired e-liquid profiles. The liquids are flavour interpretations of familiar soft drink styles, not licensed products of any drinks brand.
Need Help Getting Started with Fantango?
If you are stuck between plain and ICE, or between two of the five blends, our UK based team settles this daily: reach us via the contact page and tell us the soft drink you would actually reach for, since the range maps onto the drinks fridge almost one to one. For the practical side, have your coil resistance to hand, because below 1.0 ohm is the comfortable zone for a 70VG liquid, and your current nicotine strength, so we can confirm your shot count and set expectations if you are moving down from 20mg pods.
And if you simply cannot choose a first blend, our default recommendation after years of selling the range is Apple Blackcurrant plain: the most broadly liked recipe on the shelf, British to its core, and the bottle whose ICE twin makes the most educational comparison when you buy the pair later.
Delivery timings and cut off times for the fast, tracked 24 hour UK service are on the delivery information page. All vaping products on this site are for adults aged 18 and over.
