Why summer shifts our tastes
Tastes naturally shift with the weather. In summer, cool and refreshing flavours feel more appealing, which is why menthol, ice and bright fruit blends tend to come to the fore in warmer months. Heavier dessert flavours never disappear, but many people reach for something lighter when the sun is out.
None of this is a rule, of course, plenty of people happily vape the same dessert or tobacco flavour all year. It is simply a gentle seasonal trend, and a good excuse to try something new and refreshing.

Flavour and switching from smoking
For switching smokers, flavour plays a bigger role than it might seem. A flavour you genuinely enjoy makes vaping satisfying, which is exactly what keeps cigarettes at bay. Many people start with a tobacco or menthol flavour because it feels familiar, then explore fruit, dessert or drink inspired mixes once they have settled in.
There is no right or wrong choice, only what works for you. The freedom to find a flavour you love is one of the things that makes switching to vaping easier to stick with than other approaches.
Flavour and the switch
| Stage | Common choice |
|---|---|
| Just switched | Tobacco or menthol, familiar |
| Settling in | Branching into fruit |
| Exploring | Dessert and drink mixes |
| Summer | Lighter, cooler tastes |
| Always | Whatever you enjoy |

Salt or freebase changes the experience
Flavour is only part of the picture, the nicotine type shapes the experience too. Nicotine salt e liquids, common in pod kits, feel smooth even at higher strengths, so summery fruit and menthol flavours come through cleanly without harshness. Freebase e liquids, used in higher power devices, can deliver bigger clouds and a different flavour intensity.
For most people enjoying summer flavours in a pod kit, nicotine salt is the natural match. If you are unsure which suits your device, just ask, and we will point you to the right pairing of flavour and strength.
Flavour meets format
| Setup | Best with |
|---|---|
| Pod kit | Nicotine salt, smooth flavours |
| Higher power device | Freebase, bigger clouds |
| Summer fruit | Refreshing in a pod kit |
| Menthol and ice | Crisp in any setup |
| Unsure | Ask our team |
A few local questions
Are fruit flavours only for summer?
Not at all; they are popular year round, but they feel especially refreshing in warm weather, which is why they lead in summer.
Will a flavour ban affect what I can buy?

A quick word on safety and the law
Vaping is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Vapes contain nicotine unless stated otherwise, which is addictive, and they are not suitable for non smokers, pregnant women or anyone under 18. By law you must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK, and we age verify every order, in store and online, in line with Challenge 25. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, your local stop smoking service offers free, tailored support.
UK public health bodies advise that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and if you do not smoke the advice is not to start.
