About the Kingston Menthol Range
Kingston E-Liquids, the UK manufacturer behind our biggest single brand collection, treats menthol as a family rather than a flavour, and this range is the proof. Since 2017 the brand has blended everything in its own UK facility, and its menthol shelf runs from liquids where the cold is the whole point, Minty Menthol and Super Ice Menthol, to blends where menthol frames a fruit ensemble: blueberry and raspberry, blackcurrant and blue raspberry, two tropical medleys, and the gloriously specific Black Grape Lime Bubblegum Menthol. Within the wider Kingston E-Liquids collection, this is the shelf for vapers who check the ice level before the flavour.
Every bottle is Kingston's standard 100ml shortfill: 100ml of nicotine free 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, one gives roughly 1.5mg, and the 70 percent VG ratio is blended for sub ohm coils below 1.0 ohm, where menthol's cooling effect is carried on properly dense vapour.
Menthol deserves its dedicated range for a practical reason too: since the UK ban on menthol cigarettes in May 2020, menthol e-liquid has been one of the most searched flavour categories in vaping, and a single token menthol in a fruit range rarely satisfies someone who vaped nothing else. Seven distinct takes on cold is Kingston's answer.
The range also shows its blending discipline in a way that is easy to miss: the menthol note is consistent across all seven bottles. Move from Minty Menthol to Blueberry Raspberry Menthol and the frost is recognisably the same frost at a different volume, rather than seven unrelated cooling agents fighting for the name. That consistency is what lets the ladder approach below work, and it comes directly from one facility blending the whole shelf to one house standard.
How to Choose Kingston Menthol Flavours
Seven bottles, one price, three temperatures of intent. Work out whether menthol is your flavour, your finish, or your frame.
Pure Menthol Flavours
Best for: menthol as the whole point. Minty Menthol is the rounded pick, sweet mint softening the frost, the closest thing here to a classic menthol smoke's profile. Super Ice Menthol strips the mint back and pushes the ice as far as the range goes: the coldest bottle Kingston makes.
Berry Menthol Flavours
Best for: fruit and frost in equal measure. Blueberry Raspberry Menthol is the smoother of the pair, while Blackcurrant Blue Raspberry Menthol runs darker and sharper. Both sit close to the classic berry menthol territory of the Zingberry Range, with the menthol turned up a notch.
Tropical and Wildcard Menthol Flavours
Best for: menthol vapers bored of berries. Tropical Fruits Menthol chills a mixed exotic medley, Tropical Fruits and Berries Menthol layers berries into the same sunshine, and Black Grape Lime Bubblegum Menthol is the range's conversation piece: dark grape, sharp lime and pink bubblegum under frost, a four layer blend nothing else in the shop resembles.
Whichever temperature you choose, a shortfill needs nicotine shots if you want nicotine in the final mix, and an ice variant shot can push any of these even colder.
A ladder through the range helps first time buyers land right. Start from what you find harsh: if strong mints have ever felt like too much, begin at Blueberry Raspberry Menthol, where fruit does half the work, and move toward Minty Menthol as your tolerance for cold grows. If nothing has ever been cold enough, do the opposite: start at Super Ice Menthol and treat everything else as a flavour holiday from it. The tropical pair are the range's summer bottles, cold enough to refresh without the austerity of the pure menthols, and the Black Grape Lime Bubblegum wildcard is best bought second rather than first, once the house frost level is familiar and the four layers can be judged against it.
Which Kingston Menthol E-Liquid Is Right for You?
These four span the range's spectrum from pure frost to fruit first.
If you are choosing between this shelf and Kingston's other cold ranges, the split is temperature and complexity. The Kingston Chill trio keeps things classic: single fruits over menthol, gentler than most of this range. The Chilly Willies slushes are fruit first with the ice built into a slush drink profile. Kingston Menthol is the shelf where the menthol itself leads, and Super Ice Menthol in particular exists for the vaper other menthols disappoint.
How to Use a Kingston Menthol 100ml Shortfill
The two minute mix is identical across Kingston's ranges, with one menthol specific tip at the end worth reading.
Step 1: Choose your nicotine shots
Two 10ml 18mg shots from our nicotine shots range give a 3mg mix. An 18mg ice shot both adds strength and deepens the frost, a popular pairing on this shelf.
Step 2: Remove the nib and pour
Pull the dripper nib, add your shots, and press it back firmly until it seats flush so nothing leaks.
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.
Step 4: Fill, prime and vape
Fill your tank or pod, and on a fresh coil wet the cotton and wait five minutes before firing so the thick liquid saturates fully.
The menthol specific tip: cold carries. Menthol clings to coils, cotton and tank seals longer than any fruit note, so if you rotate one device between this range and something delicate like a dessert or a light fruit, the frost will ghost into the next tank. Dedicated menthol vapers never notice; rotators should either run a separate pod or tank for their menthol liquid or swap the coil when switching profiles. On the plus side, menthol liquids gunk coils slowly and taste stable to the last drop, which makes this one of the lowest maintenance shelves in the shop, and spare pods live in our replacement coils and pods range.
Kingston Menthol Shortfills vs Menthol 10ml Liquids: Key Differences Explained
Menthol vapers are the most format loyal in the shop, so here is the honest comparison between this range and the 10ml menthol bottles many arrive from.
| Feature | Kingston Menthol 100ml | Menthol 10ml Bottle |
| Nicotine as sold | 0mg, you add shots | Pre mixed, up to 20mg |
| Cost per ml | Roughly 7p mixed | Typically 30p to 40p |
| Setup | Two minute mix | None |
| VG ratio | 70/30, sub ohm | Usually 50/50, MTL pods |
| Vapour | Dense, cold, direct to lung | Tight, discreet draw |
| Menthol delivery | Big cold volume per puff | Sharper per puff at high strength |
| Choice in range | 7 profiles, pure to fruit | Usually one house menthol |
| Best suited for | All day menthol at home | High strength needs, commuting |
Strength is the deciding line. A shortfill mix tops out around 3mg, which satisfies through vapour volume rather than concentration. If you currently need 10mg or 20mg menthol to stay off cigarettes, run a menthol liquid from our nicotine salts collection in a pod, and let this range be the home setup that makes the volume affordable. The two format split is nowhere more common than among menthol vapers.
There is also a sensory difference between the formats that menthol exposes more than any other profile: cold scales with vapour volume. The same menthol concentration that reads as a polite chill through a pod's tight draw becomes a genuinely cold lungful through a sub ohm coil at forty watts, which is why vapers who found 10ml menthols underwhelming often describe their first shortfill menthol as the thing they had been looking for all along. If the cold is the point for you, the big vapour format is not just cheaper per ml; it is mechanically better at the job.
Who Should Use Kingston Menthol E-Liquid?
Former menthol smokers
Minty Menthol is the closest profile here to a menthol cigarette's finish, and the range exists in large part for vapers who switched after the UK's 2020 menthol cigarette ban.
Ice chasers
Super Ice Menthol is the coldest liquid Kingston makes, and an ice nicotine shot can push it colder still.
Fruit menthol vapers
The berry and tropical blends put this range shoulder to shoulder with the Zingberry classics, with the frost turned up.
Low maintenance vapers
Menthol liquids gunk coils slowly and keep their taste to the bottle's end, ideal for anyone who resents coil changes.
There is also a practical audience the range serves without advertising it: vapers recovering from a cold or a blocked nose, who consistently report menthol profiles remain tasteable when subtler fruit and dessert liquids briefly vanish. A bottle of Minty Menthol in the drawer earns its place in winter for that reason alone.

How Long Does a Kingston Menthol 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. Menthol vapers tend to be steady rather than binge vapers, and the profile's stability rewards that: unlike delicate fruits, menthol tastes the same on day one and day thirty. These figures are estimates based on average usage conditions and your own pace will vary.
Menthol is among the most storage tolerant notes in e-liquid, but the usual rules still protect the added nicotine: capped, upright, cool and dark, since oxidised nicotine darkens liquid and adds pepper to the taste. If straight Menthol becomes your fixed all day vape, note that the plain Menthol profile also exists as a 500ml megasaver in the Chill recipe at £21, the cheapest way to vape cold in our shop. Check the best before date printed on the label when your order arrives.
One seasonal observation from years of selling this shelf: menthol consumption is the most weather dependent in vaping. The same customer who empties a bottle in a fortnight through July often takes five weeks over one in January, as fruit and dessert bottles take over the rotation. If that pattern sounds like you, time the multi buys for spring, when the warm months ahead will absorb the stock, and let the winter order lean on a single bottle plus something from the dessert shelf.
Buying Menthol E-Liquid in the UK
A point of frequent confusion, settled: the UK banned menthol cigarettes in May 2020, and that ban applies to tobacco products, not vaping liquids. Menthol e-liquid remains fully legal to sell and buy in the UK. The rules that do apply are the TPD limits covering all e-liquid: nicotine containing liquid is capped at 10ml per bottle and 20mg per ml, which is why this range ships at 0mg in 100ml bottles with the nicotine added via compliant, MHRA notified 10ml shots. A finished mix at 3mg, which is 0.3 percent nicotine, sits far inside every limit. All Kingston stock we sell is genuine UK manufactured liquid, not grey import.
Store bottles capped and out of reach of children and pets at all times, and never swallow e-liquid of any strength: menthol's cooling effect makes accidental exposure no less serious.
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. Menthol blends can feel harsher at high wattage for some vapers. 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 Menthol Value Guidance
The value maths is the Kingston standard: £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 £8 to £12 for comparable menthol 100ml bottles at other stockists. Menthol vapers are the most single flavour loyal customers we have, which makes this range's natural multi buy a depth order: two or three bottles of the same profile rather than a spread, safe in the knowledge menthol keeps its taste in storage better than any fruit.
Budget one 18mg shot per 50ml when ordering, from the nicotine shots collection in the same basket, and consider one ice shot per bottle if you want the frost deepened. For the heaviest menthol habits, the 500ml Chill format at £21 drops the cost to around 5p per ml.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is menthol e-liquid legal in the UK?
Yes. The UK's May 2020 ban covered menthol cigarettes and tobacco products, not vaping liquids. Menthol e-liquid remains fully legal, subject to the same TPD rules as all e-liquid: 10ml and 20mg per ml caps on nicotine containing bottles, which shortfills meet by shipping at 0mg.
What is the strongest menthol in the Kingston range?
Super Ice Menthol is the coldest bottle Kingston makes: minimal mint sweetness, maximum frost. Adding an 18mg ice nicotine shot instead of a standard shot pushes it colder still while bringing the mix to 3mg.
What flavours are in the Kingston Menthol range?
Seven: Minty Menthol, Super Ice Menthol, Blueberry Raspberry Menthol, Blackcurrant Blue Raspberry Menthol, Tropical Fruits Menthol, Tropical Fruits and Berries Menthol, and Black Grape Lime Bubblegum Menthol, all 100ml shortfills at £6.50.
What nicotine strength is Kingston Menthol 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.
How much does Kingston Menthol 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.
What is the difference between Kingston Menthol and Kingston Chill?
Kingston Chill is a trio of gentle classics: straight Menthol, Cherry Chill and Blackcurrant Chill, single fruits over soft frost. Kingston Menthol is the bigger, colder shelf, from pure ice to layered fruit menthol blends. If Chill is a cold drink, this range is the freezer.
Why does menthol linger in my tank after switching flavours?
Menthol clings to coil cotton and seals longer than fruit notes, so it ghosts into the next fill. Run a separate coil or pod for menthol liquids if you rotate profiles, or embrace it: many vapers deliberately add a menthol liquid to freshen other flavours.
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. Menthol also feels colder at higher airflow, so open the draw up if you want the full effect.
Need Help Getting Started with Menthol Shortfills?
If you are unsure where on the cold spectrum to start, or how to recreate the menthol strength you remember from 10ml bottles or menthol cigarettes, our UK based team handles exactly this question daily: reach us via the contact page. The useful details are your current liquid and strength, so we can map you onto the right bottle and shot combination, and your coil resistance, since below 1.0 ohm is where a 70VG liquid and a proper cold exhale both live. If Minty Menthol proves too sweet or Super Ice too fierce, the middle of the range nearly always fits.
