About the Kingston Cola Range
Cola is a strange gap in most e-liquid catalogues. It is one of the most recognisable flavours on earth, a proven all day profile that nobody tires of in drink form, yet most brands offer one token cola or none at all. Kingston E-Liquids, the UK manufacturer behind our biggest single brand collection, gives it a whole shelf instead. The Kingston collection splits its fizzy drinks across two ranges, with the fruit sodas and cordials in Kingston Soda and everything cola shaped here.
The range is structured like a soda fountain menu. Classic Cola is the reference pour: caramel sweetness, citrus spice edge, the profile every drinks fridge on earth stocks. The four variants are the syrups the fountain added: Cherry Cola deepens it with dark fruit, the pairing so established it became its own soft drink; Vanilla Cola smooths the spice into something creamier; Raspberry Cola brightens the top with sharp red berry; and Mango Cola, the range's wildcard, pours tropical fruit over the caramel base to make the one cola blend you have probably never tried in a glass.
Every bottle is Kingston's standard 100ml shortfill: 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml bottle with headroom 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 at 0.3 percent nicotine, and the 70 percent VG ratio gives cola's rounded sweetness the warm, dense vapour it needs to taste like the drink rather than a hint of it.
Cola is also a profile where execution separates brands sharply, because everyone on earth knows exactly what it should taste like. There is nowhere to hide behind an invented flavour name: a weak cola reads as watery caramel and a clumsy one as cough syrup, and both mistakes are common enough that many vapers have written the whole profile off on one bad bottle. Kingston's five earn their shelf by getting the reference right first, which is why this page keeps insisting newcomers start at Classic before judging the variants.
How to Choose Kingston Cola Flavours
Five bottles, one base, one decision: what goes over your cola?
The Straight Pour
Best for: the pure cola experience. Classic Cola is the shelf's anchor and the right first bottle: caramel body, gentle spice, the taste every variant is measured against. If cola is why you came, start here.
The Fountain Classics
Best for: the variants that earned their own cans. Cherry Cola is the bestselling variant, dark cherry sinking into the caramel base, and Vanilla Cola is its smoother sibling, rounding the spice edge into cream. Between them they cover the two variants the drinks industry itself validated.
The Fruit Twists
Best for: cola with a brighter top note. Raspberry Cola adds a sharp berry lift that keeps the profile lively over a full day, and Mango Cola is the conversation starter: tropical sweetness over cola spice, the blend most customers try out of curiosity and a surprising number keep.
If the fizz matters to you more than the cola, the sherbet led Kingston Soda range is the other half of the drinks aisle, including the cherry spiced Doctor Popper that sits closest to this shelf in spirit. And whichever pour you pick, a shortfill needs nicotine shots if you want nicotine in the final mix.
The variants also split usefully by time of day, which matters for a profile most people vape as their main bottle. Classic and Raspberry Cola are the daytime pours, bright enough to session from morning without cloying. Vanilla Cola drifts toward the dessert shelf as the light fades, and plenty of its regulars treat it as their evening bottle over an actual dessert liquid, getting cream warmth without custard weight. Cherry Cola is the true all rounder, which goes some way to explaining its bestseller status: sweet enough for evening, sharp enough for morning, and familiar enough that nobody ever tires of it. Mango Cola resists categorisation, which is precisely its charm, and is the bottle to add third once the first two have settled into a routine.
Which Kingston Cola E-Liquid Is Right for You?
These four cover the fountain: the anchor, the two validated variants and the wildcard.
Cola profiles reward commitment more than variety: the flavour builds its all day character on familiarity, which is why most cola vapers settle on one variant and stay. Our suggestion is to order Classic Cola alongside the variant that matches your actual drink order, £13 for both, then let a week of vaping decide which becomes the repeat purchase. If you arrive here from cola bottle sweets rather than the drink itself, the Fizzy Cola Bottles in Kingston Sweets is the candy version of this shelf.
How to Use a Kingston Cola 100ml Shortfill
Two minutes, no measuring: the headspace in the 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.
Step 2: Remove the nib and pour
Pull the dripper nib, add the shots, and press it back firmly until it seats flush so the bottle cannot leak.
Step 3: Shake, then rest a day
Shake hard for at least 60 seconds. Cola's caramel and spice notes settle noticeably after a day's rest, so mix tonight and judge tomorrow.
Step 4: Fill, prime and vape warm
Prime fresh coils with a few drops and a five minute wait. Cola tastes fullest at moderate wattage: hot enough for warm vapour, not so hot the caramel scorches.
Cola sits between fruit and dessert in behaviour. It benefits from a short steep like a dessert but stays lighter on coils than heavily creamed profiles, so expect coil life closer to a fruit liquid than a custard. The one profile specific note: cola's spice edge reads slightly peppery on a brand new coil's first tank, then settles. If a first fill tastes sharper than expected, vape through it before judging the bottle. Spare fitments live in our replacement coils and pods range.
Kingston Cola vs Cola Disposables and 10ml Liquids: Key Differences Explained
Cola vapers usually arrive from one of two places: a cola disposable or a 10ml cola liquid. Here is how the shortfill shelf compares with both.
| Feature | Kingston Cola 100ml | Cola Disposable | Cola 10ml |
| Cost per ml | Roughly 7p mixed | £2 to £3 | 30p to 40p |
| Nicotine strength | You choose, to about 3mg | Fixed, usually 20mg | Up to 20mg |
| Variant choice | Five colas | Usually one | One if lucky |
| Vapour | Warm and dense | Light, cool draw | Discreet |
| Setup | Two minute mix | None | None |
| Best suited for | Daily cola vaping | Trying the profile | High strength needs |
The flavour argument favours the shortfill more for cola than almost any profile: caramel depth needs warm, dense vapour to register, and the cool tight draw of a disposable delivers cola as a suggestion rather than a drink. If you need 10mg or 20mg strength, run a cola or fruit liquid from our nicotine salts collection in a pod for out and about, and let this shelf be the home pour.
It is also worth saying plainly that cola is the profile most under served by the disposable era, which is partly why this shelf converts so well. The disposable wall offers fifty fruit ices and, at best, one token cola, so cola loving vapers have spent years settling for their second choice flavour. Finding five proper colas in one place at £6.50 tends to end that settling on the spot, and the reorder rates on this shelf suggest the reunion sticks.
Who Should Use Kingston Cola E-Liquid?
Cola loyalists
If cola is your standing drinks order, this is the only shelf in our shop that treats it as a family rather than a novelty.
All day vapers tired of fruit and ice
Cola's rounded, familiar profile sessions as easily as any fruit without the sweetness fatigue of desserts.
Former cola disposable users
The shortfill delivers the profile with warmth and body a 2ml device cannot, at a fraction of the cost.
Curious blenders
Mango Cola and Raspberry Cola offer combinations no soft drink aisle stocks, for vapers who want familiar made new.
Former smokers deserve a mention here too: cola's caramel spine carries a satisfying depth that thin fruit profiles lack, and a number of our ex smoker regulars settled on Classic Cola after finding fruit liquids insubstantial and tobacco liquids too backward looking.

How Long Does a Kingston Cola 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. Cola's session friendly character tends to produce steady rather than heavy consumption, which pushes most bottles toward the three week end. These figures are estimates based on average usage conditions and your own pace will vary.
Cola liquids store well: the caramel base is stable, and like a dessert profile the flavour actually rounds out over the first days after mixing. Keep bottles capped, upright, cool and dark, since heat and light oxidise added nicotine and dull any liquid over time, mix bottles as you open them, and check the printed best before date when your order arrives. A cola bottle rediscovered at the back of the drawer a month later usually tastes better than the day it was shaken.
The range also blends within itself better than any other Kingston shelf, because every bottle shares the same cola spine. Half Classic and half Cherry lands at exactly the cherry weight the commercial cherry colas use, a quarter of Vanilla in anything smooths it, and adventurous mixers have been known to marry Raspberry Cola with a splash of the Soda range's lemonade blends for a homemade spider float profile. Two bottles from this shelf are, in practice, four or five flavours, which quietly improves the value maths yet again.
Buying Kingston Cola E-Liquid in the UK
UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle and 20mg per ml in strength. Kingston Cola 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.
The obvious but necessary note: cola e-liquid contains no cola, caffeine or sugar; the profile is built entirely from food grade flavourings, and the 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 Kingston Cola Value Guidance
The Kingston maths applies: £6.50 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. Put differently, a single £8.50 mixed bottle holds the liquid of sixty 2ml cola disposables. Kingston 100ml bottles commonly list at £8 to £12 at other stockists, so the shelf undercuts even its own brand elsewhere. The natural order is the anchor and variant pair described above: Classic plus your fountain pick for £13 mixed into 240ml.
Budget one 18mg shot per 50ml when ordering and add them from the nicotine shots collection in the same basket. Cola has no 500ml edition yet; if one of these five earns permanent all day status for you, the closest bulk relatives live in the Kingston 500ml megasaver range.
In the meantime, cola's excellent storage stability makes a two or three bottle order a safe way to capture most of the bulk economics anyway: the third bottle will taste as intended two months after it arrives, which is not a promise every shelf on this site can make.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flavours are in the Kingston Cola range?
Five: Classic Cola, Cherry Cola, Vanilla Cola, Raspberry Cola and Mango Cola, all 100ml shortfills at £6.50, made in the UK by Kingston.
Does cola e-liquid contain caffeine?
No. Cola e-liquid contains no caffeine, cola or sugar: the profile is recreated entirely from food grade flavourings. It tastes like the drink; it shares nothing else with it.
What does Kingston Classic Cola taste like?
The straight soda fountain profile: caramel sweetness with cola's characteristic citrus spice edge, served on warm, dense 70VG vapour. It is the reference point the four variants build on.
What nicotine strength is Kingston Cola 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 Kingston Cola 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 Kingston Cola e-liquid cost?
Every flavour 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, near 7p per ml.
Is cola a good all day vape flavour?
It is one of the most underrated. Cola's familiar, rounded profile resists palate fatigue the way plain fruits do, while carrying more depth, which is exactly why the drink itself is an all day order. Cherry and Vanilla Cola session particularly well.
What devices work best with this range?
The 70 percent VG mix suits sub ohm tanks and pods with coils below 1.0 ohm, and wicks acceptably in most 0.6 to 0.8 ohm pod coils. Run cola at moderate wattage: warm vapour carries the caramel best, and too much heat scorches it.
Need Help Getting Started with Cola Shortfills?
If you are choosing between the five pours, or unsure whether your kit will give cola the warm vapour it needs, our UK based team will sort it in one message: reach us via the contact page and tell us your usual cola order, since the shelf maps onto the fountain menu exactly. Useful details to include: your coil resistance, because below 1.0 ohm suits the 70VG mix, your typical wattage, since cola prefers the moderate middle, and your current nicotine strength for the shot count.
For the record, the order we suggest most often to a first time cola buyer is Classic Cola plus Cherry Cola: the reference pour and the variant that history already validated, £13 for the two bottles that settle whether cola is your all day profile, with the wilder Mango and Raspberry editions waiting as the reward if it is.
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.

Kingston Cola is half the brand's drinks aisle. These are the collections its customers most often shop next: the fruit soda shelf, the candy cola crossover, the fruit drink range, and the shots every order needs.
Cola vapers cross shop more conservatively than most, and the shelves above respect that: each offers one recognisable step from home rather than a leap. The soda shelf keeps the fizz with new fruits, the sweets shelf keeps the cola in candy form, and Fantango keeps the drinks aisle familiarity with the option of ice. One step per order is the pattern that sticks.
