About the Kingston Soda Range
Kingston E-Liquids, the UK manufacturer whose 111 flavours make up our biggest single brand collection, splits its drink inspired liquids across two shelves: this one for everything sparkling, and a separate Kingston Cola range for the cola family. Kingston Soda is the wider pour. Its four Fizz flavours each take one fruit, apple, orange, grape or strawberry, and carbonate it: the sharp top note and sherbet edge that reads as bubbles on the exhale is the range's signature trick.
Around those four singles sit three more ambitious bottles. Vinberry is Kingston's fizzy tribute to the classic British mixed fruit cordial, the purple drink of every UK childhood. Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade layers two dark fruits over a sparkling lemonade base, the most complex of the lemonade family the brand makes, and popular enough to exist in the 500ml megasaver format as a soda edition. And Doctor Popper chases the famously indescribable cherry spiced soda, blending cherry, almond, caramel and a whisper of aniseed into the range's most layered recipe.
The format is Kingston's standard 100ml shortfill: 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml bottle with room for two 10ml nicotine shots, since UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle. Two 18mg shots give a 3mg mix, and the 70 percent VG ratio suits the sub ohm kits that give these bright profiles their body.
Soda profiles are also quietly technical liquids to make well, which is where a manufacturer with its own facility earns its keep. The fizz illusion depends on a precise balance of sharp citric top notes and sherbet sweetness: too little and the liquid is just fruit, too much and it turns acrid at high wattage. Kingston's versions sit reliably in the drinkable middle across the whole shelf, batch after batch, which is harder than it sounds at this price and is the practical difference between a soda range and a fruit range with fizzy labels. It is also why the shelf holds seven flavours rather than one novelty bottle: the base formula was worth building on.
How to Choose Kingston Soda Flavours
Seven bottles, one price, three ways in. Decide whether you want one fruit sparkling, a childhood cordial, or something harder to place.
The Fizz Single Flavours
Best for: one clear fruit with bubbles. Apple Fizz is the crispest of the four, Orange Fizz the classic orangeade, Grape Fizz the deep purple soda, and Strawberry Fizz the sweetest pour. All four are single minded by design: pick the fruit you would pick from the fridge.
The Cordial Classics
Best for: British soft drink nostalgia. Vinberry is the mixed fruit cordial profile, dark, sweet and instantly familiar, while Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade is the range's showpiece: tart blackcurrant, sweet raspberry and a sparkling lemonade base in one glass.
The Unplaceable One
Best for: vapers who want a profile no fruit range offers. Doctor Popper layers cherry, almond, caramel and gentle spice into the famous soda fountain profile that nobody can quite name and everybody recognises. It is the range's most divisive and most reordered bottle.
If cola is your fizzy drink of choice, the dedicated Kingston Cola range covers five variants next door. And whichever bottle you pick, a shortfill needs nicotine shots if you want nicotine in the final mix.
Weighing the four Fizz singles against each other is worth thirty seconds, because they behave differently in the tank despite the shared format. Apple Fizz and Orange Fizz are the crisp, daytime pair, sharp enough to cut through and light enough to session. Grape Fizz carries the most body of the four and leans closest to the cordial end of the range, while Strawberry Fizz is the sweetest and the usual favourite of anyone arriving from candy liquids. If two appeal, remember they blend: a tank filled half from Apple Fizz and half from Strawberry Fizz lands convincingly close to a fruit salad soda, and the shared sherbet base makes any pairing on this shelf seamless in a way cross range blends never quite are.
Which Kingston Soda E-Liquid Is Right for You?
These four map the range: the two most ordered fizzes and the two layered sodas.
A simple way to decide: match your actual soft drink order. If you buy one flavour of pop on repeat, take its Fizz single. If your childhood drink was the purple cordial, Vinberry will land immediately. If you have ever stood at a soda fountain unable to explain why you like that cherry spiced one, Doctor Popper is your bottle. And if you like this range's idea but want fruit leading rather than fizz, the Fantango range flips the same drink inspired formula the other way round, with an ICE twin for every blend.
How to Use a Kingston Soda 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 for a full minute
Cap and shake hard for at least 60 seconds so the nicotine spreads evenly through the 70VG liquid, then let the bubbles settle, the ones in the liquid, not the flavour.
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.
One range specific note: the fizzy sensation in soda profiles comes from bright, sharp top notes, and those are the first thing a tired coil loses. If your Apple Fizz starts tasting like flat apple juice, the coil is telling you it is done even if nothing tastes burnt yet. The singles are otherwise easy on coils; Doctor Popper, with its caramel layer, gunks slightly faster and rewards a fresh coil more. Spare fitments live in our replacement coils and pods range.
Kingston Soda vs Kingston Cola: Key Differences Explained
Kingston keeps its fizzy drinks on two shelves, and the split confuses first time buyers. Here is the map.
| Feature | Kingston Soda | Kingston Cola |
| Base profile | Fruit sodas and cordials | Cola in five variants |
| Range size | 7 flavours | 5 flavours |
| Signature bottle | Doctor Popper | Classic Cola |
| Sweetness character | Sherbet bright | Caramel deep |
| Closest to | Orangeade, cordials, fruit pop | The cola fridge |
| 500ml option | Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade Soda | None currently |
| Price | £6.50 per 100ml | £6.50 per 100ml |
| Best suited for | Fruit pop and cordial fans | Cola loyalists |
The only flavour that genuinely straddles the line is cola itself: if you want cola with fruit in it, cherry, raspberry or mango, the Cola range holds all three, while this range holds every sparkling profile that is not cola. At £6.50 either side, plenty of customers simply take one from each shelf and let the tank decide.
A short field guide for anyone torn between the two shelves: choose by your actual corner shop habit. The customer who reaches for an orangeade, a cherryade or the purple cordial belongs here; the customer whose hand goes to the red can every time belongs next door. If your habit was the glass bottle retro shelf, the ones with cream soda and dandelion and burdock on it, this range's Vinberry and Doctor Popper are the closest things vaping offers to that shelf's spirit, and no other budget brand attempts either.
Who Should Use Kingston Soda E-Liquid?
Soft drink flavour loyalists
If your supermarket basket always holds the same fizzy drink, its vape twin is probably one of these seven bottles.
Vapers bored of plain fruit
The sherbet sparkle turns familiar fruits into something brighter: Apple Fizz reads completely differently from a standard apple liquid.
Cordial nostalgics
Vinberry bottles the purple drink of British childhoods, a profile very few e-liquid ranges attempt.
Complex profile hunters
Doctor Popper's cherry, almond and caramel layering gives dessert level depth without dessert heaviness.
The shelf also suits vapers who want variety on a budget more than most: because every bottle rides the same sherbet base, rotating two or three sodas feels coherent rather than jarring, one drinks fridge rather than three unrelated flavours, and the whole seven bottle range costs £45.50.

How Long Does a Kingston Soda 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. These figures are estimates based on average usage conditions and your own pace will vary.
Soda profiles depend on their bright top notes, and those fade before anything else does, so drink these bottles young: mix, vape, reorder. Store capped, upright and out of heat and sunlight, since warmth dulls exactly the sparkle you bought the range for and oxidises added nicotine, and check the printed best before date when your order lands. If you rotate several sodas, mix each as you open it: an unmixed shortfill holds its brightness longer than a mixed one.
Airflow and power settings flatter this shelf more than most. The fizz sensation reads strongest on a slightly cooler, airier draw, so if your device has adjustable airflow, open it a notch beyond your usual setting and drop the wattage a step: the sherbet edge sharpens noticeably. Run the same liquids hot and tight and they flatten toward plain fruit syrup, which is the single most common reason a customer reports a soda liquid tasting less fizzy than expected. The exception is Doctor Popper, whose caramel depth rewards the warmer end just like the dessert shelf it borders.
Buying Kingston Soda E-Liquid in the UK
UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle and 20mg per ml in strength. Kingston Soda 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 drinks aisle inspiration cuts one way only: these liquids taste like soda but are 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 Soda Value Guidance
The running costs match the rest of the Kingston catalogue: £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 100ml sodas elsewhere. The range's natural order is a contrast pair, one bright Fizz single and one layered soda, for £13 mixed into 240ml: enough liquid to know whether your soda vape is a sharp one or a deep one.
Budget one 18mg shot per 50ml and add them from the nicotine shots collection in the same basket. If Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade becomes your all day bottle, its soda edition in the 500ml megasaver range drops the cost to around 5p per ml.
One last budgeting note for this shelf specifically: because soda profiles are best vaped young, resist the temptation to stockpile more than a month ahead, however good the per ml arithmetic looks. Two bottles at a time, reordered as the first empties, keeps every tank at full sparkle and costs exactly the same over a year as bulk buying would.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flavours are in the Kingston Soda range?
Seven: Apple Fizz, Orange Fizz, Grape Fizz, Strawberry Fizz, Vinberry, Doctor Popper and Blackcurrant Raspberry Lemonade, all 100ml shortfills at £6.50, made in the UK by Kingston.
What does Doctor Popper taste like?
Kingston's Doctor Popper recreates the classic cherry spiced soda fountain profile: cherry up front, with almond, caramel and a hint of aniseed underneath. It is the most layered recipe in the range and the one customers either adore or trade to a friend.
What is Vinberry?
Vinberry is Kingston's sparkling take on the classic British mixed fruit cordial, the dark purple drink of UK childhoods, in 100ml shortfill form. It also exists as a Kingston 500ml megasaver for committed fans.
What nicotine strength is Kingston Soda 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 Soda 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 Soda 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.
Why does my soda flavour taste flat?
The sherbet brightness in soda profiles lives in delicate top notes, and a tired coil mutes them first, leaving the fruit without the fizz. A fresh coil restores the sparkle. Heat and sunlight in storage dull the same notes, so keep bottles cool and dark.
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. A tight 50/50 mouth to lung coil will wick it slowly and can taste burnt.
Need Help Getting Started with Soda Shortfills?
Torn between a Fizz single and one of the layered sodas, or unsure whether your kit suits a 70VG liquid? Our UK based team sorts this daily: reach us via the contact page and name the fizzy drink you would actually buy, since this range maps onto the drinks aisle almost exactly. Have your coil resistance handy, because below 1.0 ohm is the comfortable zone, and your current nicotine strength, so we can confirm your shot count and expectations if you are stepping down from stronger pods.
Two starting recommendations cover most people who ask. If you want safe, Apple Fizz plus Strawberry Fizz gives a crisp and sweet pair that maps onto tastes almost everyone holds already. If you want interesting, Doctor Popper plus Vinberry delivers the two most distinctive recipes on the shelf in one order, and between them they will tell you precisely how adventurous your soda vaping wants to be.

Kingston Soda is one half of the brand's drinks aisle. These are the collections its customers most often shop next: the cola shelf, the fruit drink range with ICE twins, the slushes, and the shots every order needs.
Together with this shelf, those four make up what we think of as Kingston's drinks aisle, and it shops best as an aisle: a soda, a cola and a slush in one basket covers sparkling, smooth and frozen for under £20, which is a breadth of drink profiles no disposable counter in the country can match at five times the price. Start wherever your corner shop habit points and let the aisle widen from there.
