About the Kingston Sweets Range
Kingston E-Liquids is a UK manufacturer that has been blending and bottling its own liquid since 2017, and Kingston Sweets is its love letter to the corner shop sweet counter. Where most candy e-liquid ranges lean on American profiles, this one is unmistakably British: Black Jack recreates the aniseed liquorice chew, Refreshing Chews takes on the fizzy sherbet lemon classic, Fruit Pastels covers the jelly sweet medley, and Fizzy Rhubarb and Custard bottles the boiled sweet that shares its name. It is the single biggest range within our Kingston E-Liquids collection of 111 flavours.
Every bottle in the range is a 100ml shortfill: 100ml of nicotine free liquid in a 120ml bottle, with the spare 20ml left deliberately for two 10ml nicotine shots. UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle, so big bottles like these are sold at 0mg and you add the nicotine yourself. The 70 percent VG mix is Kingston's house ratio: thick enough for dense vapour on a sub ohm coil, thin enough to wick reliably in most 0.6 to 0.8 ohm pod coils too.
The thirteen flavours split naturally into fizzy sweets, chewy and jelly sweets, sours and a small fudge corner, which is how we walk customers through them below. All thirteen share the same £6.50 price, so building a rotation of two or three is cheaper than a single premium shortfill elsewhere.
The range has been a fixture of Kingston's catalogue for years, and its stability is part of the appeal: sweet shop profiles do not chase trends, so the Black Jack you reorder next spring will taste like the one you finished this week, blended on the same UK machinery from the same recipe.
How to Choose Kingston Sweets Flavours
Thirteen sweet shop profiles at one price makes this a pure taste decision, and the range breaks into four families.
Fizzy Sweet Flavours
Best for: vapers who like a sharp, tingly edge. Fizzy Cola Bottles is the range's bestseller, the pick and mix cola gum with its sugary fizz intact. Fizzy Rhubarb and Custard layers tart rhubarb over smooth custard with a sherbet finish, and Refreshing Chews is the lemon sherbet chew in liquid form.
Chewy and Jelly Sweet Flavours
Best for: soft, rounded sweetness all day. Strawberry Chews and Fruit Pastels are the gentle all day picks, Jelly Snakes mixes a fruit jelly medley, and Watermelon Slices recreates the sugared watermelon gum.
Sour and Liquorice Flavours
Best for: anyone who wants bite. Apple Sours and Sours Cherry deliver the mouth puckering sherbet hit, while Black Jack and Raspberry Black Jack take the aniseed liquorice chew straight and with a raspberry twist. Aniseed profiles are rare in shortfills, which makes the Black Jack pair a genuine range highlight.
Fudge Flavours
Best for: dessert leaning vapers. Vanilla Fudge is smooth caramelised vanilla, and Banilla Fudge folds banana into the same buttery base. If these two win you over, the full Kingston Desserts range is the natural next stop.
Whichever family you pick, remember a shortfill needs nicotine shots if you want nicotine in the final mix.
It also helps to know how this shelf maps onto the wider brand before you order. Several profiles here have close relatives on other Kingston shelves: Fizzy Cola Bottles is the candy cousin of the drink led Kingston Cola range, the two fudges lead naturally into the puddings of Kingston Desserts, and Fruit Pastels has graduated to a 500ml megasaver edition for customers who made it their all day vape. A sensible first order pairs one bottle from the family you know you love with one from the family you have never tried: the £13 total is still less than a single premium shortfill, and the contrast tells you more about your own palate than two similar bottles ever would. Sweet profiles also blend well in the tank, so a half and half fill of Apple Sours and Strawberry Chews is a legitimate third flavour for free.
Which Kingston Sweets Flavour Is Right for You?
These four are the flavours we point new customers to first, one from each family in the range.
If you cannot decide between a fizzy and a chewy profile, order both: two Kingston Sweets bottles at £6.50 each still cost less than one premium 100ml shortfill elsewhere. And if your sweet tooth runs closer to candy floss than pick and mix, the three flavour Sweet Candy Floss range and the bubblegum led Gazillion range sit one shelf over in the same Kingston collection, at the same price and in the same 100ml format, so mixing an order across ranges costs nothing extra.
How to Use a Kingston Sweets 100ml Shortfill
If this is your first shortfill, the mix takes about two minutes and the bottle does the measuring for you: the headspace above the liquid is exactly the volume two nicotine shots fill.
Step 1: Choose your nicotine shots
Two 10ml 18mg shots from our nicotine shots range give a 3mg mix. One shot gives roughly 1.5mg, and no shots keeps the liquid nicotine free.
Step 2: Pull the nib and pour
Remove the dripper nib from the bottle, add your shots, then press the nib back firmly until it clicks so the bottle cannot leak.
Step 3: Shake hard for a minute
Cap and shake vigorously for at least 60 seconds so the nicotine spreads evenly through the 70VG liquid, then let any bubbles settle before filling.
Step 4: Fill your tank and prime the coil
Fill as normal, and on a fresh coil put a few drops directly on the cotton and wait five minutes before firing. Thick liquid on a dry coil is the most common cause of a burnt taste.
One tip specific to sweet profiles: sweetened liquids caramelise on coils faster than plain fruit or menthol blends, so expect coil life a little shorter than you would get from something like Kingston Chill. If a flavour starts tasting dull rather than burnt, the coil is usually coated rather than dead, and a fresh coil brings the sweetness straight back. Keeping a spare coil in the drawer per bottle of sweets liquid is a habit worth forming, and our replacement coils and pods range covers the popular fitments.
Wattage matters more than most sweet vapers expect, too. The sherbet and fizz effects in profiles like Fizzy Cola Bottles and Refreshing Chews live in delicate top notes that read best in the middle of a coil's rated range: push the power to the top and the sugar note caramelises toward burnt candy, drop it too low and the fizz disappears into plain fruit. Start mid range, adjust by half steps, and note the sweet spot for each flavour, because the fudges genuinely prefer a slightly warmer setting than the fizzes do.
Sweet Shortfills vs Sweet Nic Salts: Key Differences Explained
Most sweet toothed vapers choose between a big bottle like Kingston Sweets and 10ml nic salts in similar candy profiles. The formats suit different setups.
| Feature | Kingston Sweets 100ml | Sweet 10ml Nic Salt |
| Nicotine as sold | 0mg, you add shots | Pre mixed, up to 20mg |
| Setup | Two minute mix | None, vape straight away |
| Cost per ml | Roughly 7p mixed | Typically 30p to 40p |
| VG ratio | 70/30, sub ohm | Usually 50/50, MTL pods |
| Vapour | Dense clouds | Discreet |
| Strength ceiling | About 3mg practical | Up to 20mg |
| Flavour intensity | Big, warm, full | Sharper, cooler |
| Best suited for | Direct to lung, heavy use | New switchers, commuting |
Shortfills are not designed for high strength nicotine: two 18mg shots in 100ml gives 3mg, which suits direct to lung vaping. If you need 10mg or 20mg to stay off cigarettes, choose from our nicotine salts collection instead, and treat the Kingston bottle as your home setup liquid. Plenty of our regulars run exactly that split: a sweets shortfill in a sub ohm kit at home, a candy nic salt in a pocket pod for the commute.
There is a flavour argument for the split too, beyond cost. Candy profiles behave differently at the two temperatures the formats run at: through a warm sub ohm coil the fudges bloom and the sherbets soften, while the same profiles in a cool pod draw stay sharper and more sweet shop literal. Vapers who try Black Jack both ways often describe them as two related sweets rather than one liquid, and keeping a foot in each format is the only way to have both. Neither is more correct; the warm version is simply the one this 70VG bottle was blended for.
Who Should Use Kingston Sweets E-Liquid?
Pick and mix nostalgics
If Black Jacks, cola bottles and rhubarb and custard were your childhood counter order, this range recreates them more faithfully than any other budget line we stock.
Sub ohm vapers on a budget
At £6.50 per 100ml, a two bottle rotation costs less than a single premium shortfill and covers a month of moderate vaping.
Vapers bored of fruit ice
Aniseed, sherbet, custard and fudge notes offer a genuinely different palette from the fruit menthol profiles that dominate modern pod menus.
Dessert vapers testing the water
The two fudge flavours are a gentle introduction to sweeter, richer vaping before committing to the full Kingston Desserts range.
One more group worth naming: vapers who bounce off dessert liquids entirely. If a full custard or cheesecake profile has ever felt too heavy by mid evening, the sweets format is the answer, since profiles like Fruit Pastels and Refreshing Chews carry real sweetness with none of the cream weight, and they session for hours where a dessert tires the palate in one tank.

How Long Does a Kingston Sweets Shortfill Last?
A mixed 120ml bottle lasts a moderate direct to lung vaper around two to three weeks at a typical 5ml to 10ml per day, roughly 24 fills of a standard 5ml tank. A heavy user on a powerful kit might halve that; a restrained pod setup will stretch it past a month. These figures are estimates based on average usage conditions and your own pace will vary.
Sweet profiles reward a short rest after mixing: give the shaken bottle a day and the custard and fudge notes in particular round out noticeably. Store bottles capped, upright and out of sunlight, since heat degrades both flavour and added nicotine, and check the best before date printed on the label when your order arrives. If you rotate several sweets flavours at once, mix each bottle as you open it rather than dosing all of them on arrival, because unmixed liquid keeps longer than mixed.
Buying Kingston Sweets E-Liquid in the UK
UK TPD rules cap nicotine containing e-liquid at 10ml per bottle and 20mg per ml in strength, which is why this range is sold as 0mg shortfills: a 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 mix at 3mg, which is 0.3 percent nicotine, sits well inside every legal limit. All Kingston stock we sell is genuine UK manufactured liquid, not grey import.
One practical note: sweet flavour names describe the taste only. There is no sugar in e-liquid, and the sweetness comes from flavourings, but liquid must still never be swallowed and belongs out of reach of children and pets at all times, 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 Sweets Value Guidance
The arithmetic on this range is hard to argue with. A £6.50 bottle plus two £1 nicotine shots comes to £8.50 for 120ml of finished 3mg liquid, close to 7p per ml. Buying the same volume as twelve 10ml bottles at typical UK prices would cost £35 to £45, and even other stockists commonly list Kingston 100ml bottles at £8 to £12. Because every flavour in the range shares the one price, a three bottle rotation, say Fizzy Cola Bottles, Apple Sours and Vanilla Fudge, lands around £25 mixed and covers most of two months.
Budget one 18mg shot per 50ml when ordering, add your shots from the nicotine shots collection in the same basket, and if one flavour becomes your fixed all day vape, check whether it has a sibling in the Kingston 500ml megasaver range, where the cost per ml drops further still.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flavours are in the Kingston Sweets range?
Thirteen British sweet shop profiles: Fizzy Cola Bottles, Black Jack, Raspberry Black Jack, Apple Sours, Sours Cherry, Strawberry Chews, Refreshing Chews, Fruit Pastels, Jelly Snakes, Watermelon Slices, Fizzy Rhubarb and Custard, Vanilla Fudge and Banilla Fudge, all as 100ml shortfills.
What does Black Jack e-liquid taste like?
Kingston's Black Jack recreates the classic British aniseed liquorice chew: dark, sweet liquorice with that unmistakable aniseed edge. Raspberry Black Jack softens it with a fruity top note. Aniseed profiles are rare in e-liquid, so these are the flavours the range is best known for.
What nicotine strength is Kingston Sweets 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 straight from the bottle after shaking.
Is there sugar in sweet flavoured e-liquid?
No. The sweetness comes from food grade flavourings and sweeteners, not sugar. Heavily sweetened profiles do coat coils faster than plain ones, so expect slightly shorter coil life than with unsweetened menthol or fruit liquids.
Are Kingston Sweets 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 Sweets 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, which works out near 7p per ml.
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 struggle with it and can burn, so pair the range with a sub ohm setup.
Why does my sweet e-liquid taste weaker over time?
Usually the coil, not the liquid: sweetened profiles caramelise on the coil and gradually mute the flavour. Swap the coil and the sweetness returns. Storing the bottle away from heat and light also keeps the flavour at full strength for longer.
Need Help Getting Started with Sweet Shortfills?
If you are unsure whether your kit will handle a 70VG liquid, or which of the thirteen flavours matches the sweets you actually ate, our UK based team will point you right: reach us via the contact page. Tell us your current device and your favourite sweet from the counter, and we can usually name your bottle in one reply. The two useful facts to have ready are your coil resistance, since below 1.0 ohm is the comfortable zone for this range, and your current nicotine strength, so we can tell you how many shots to add.
