10mg vs 20mg Nic Salt: Choosing the Right Strength
Both strengths use the same flavour profile and the same 50/50 VG/PG ratio — only the nicotine concentration differs. Selecting the correct strength at checkout is important; this determines the product you receive. Check the individual product listing for confirmed strength availability per flavour.
- 10mg/ml: Often preferred by adult vapers who vape frequently throughout the day, those who have reduced their nicotine intake over time, or those who find 20mg more than they currently need. Many users find 10mg comfortable for regular, sustained sessions.
- 20mg/ml: Often preferred by adult vapers who vape in shorter or less frequent sessions, those who want a more noticeable nicotine delivery per draw, or those who have recently moved from a higher-nicotine product. Many users find 20mg more satisfying with fewer draws.
No medical guidance is offered. Choice of strength is personal. If uncertain, starting at the lower strength and adjusting is a commonly followed approach.
How to Use DOJO LIQ Nic Salts (Refillable Pod Kits)
- Check device compatibility. Confirm your device is a refillable MTL pod kit and that its manufacturer recommends 50/50 nic salt e-liquid for the coil you are using. Do not use DOJO LIQ in sub-ohm or high-powered devices.
- Choose and confirm your strength. Select 10mg or 20mg before purchasing. Check the listing — availability may vary by flavour.
- Open the bottle. The childproof cap requires pressing down while turning. Do not force. Keep the bottle upright once open.
- Fill using the easy-fill nozzle. Insert the nozzle tip into your pod's fill port. Fill slowly; avoid overfilling. Reseal the fill port immediately after filling.
- Prime before first draw. Allow one to two minutes after filling for the e-liquid to fully saturate the coil. Skipping this is the most common cause of a burnt first draw.
- Inhale at a steady MTL pace. Draw moderately and consistently. If the device is draw-activated, no fire button is needed.
Common mistakes: Not priming the coil before first use. Selecting the wrong strength at checkout. Using a 50/50 nic salt in a sub-ohm or high-powered device. Storing bottles in direct sunlight or heat before use.
Common Buying Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
- Expecting "ice" to taste of menthol. Ice-style flavours produce a cooling sensation from a cooling agent — they do not carry the botanical menthol taste. If you want menthol flavour, choose Cool Menthol specifically.
- Expecting "sour" to feel cold. Sour profiles (Sour Peach Gummy, Sour Watermelon Candy, Blueberry Sour Raspberry) produce tartness on the palate — not a cooling or cold sensation. They do not include a cooling agent.
- Expecting real carbonation from "soda" or "fizzy" flavours. Pomelo Soda and Fizzy Cherry evoke a sparkling character through flavour construction. No e-liquid is carbonated. Do not expect a physical fizzing sensation.
- Selecting the wrong nicotine strength. 10mg and 20mg are both available on most listings. Check and confirm the strength selector before adding to basket. This is the single most common avoidable return on nic salt e-liquids.
- Using DOJO LIQ in a sub-ohm device. This range is for MTL pod kits only. Using a 20mg/ml nic salt in a high-powered sub-ohm device may produce a draw most adult users find uncomfortable. Verify your device type before filling.
- Not priming the coil before first use. Skipping the one-to-two minute priming step after filling causes dry or burnt-tasting first draws in most devices. This is not a product fault.
- Expecting identical sweetness across all fruit flavours. Sweetness varies significantly: candy and gummy profiles are high sweetness; tobacco and menthol are low. Use the comparison table and style guide on this page to set expectations before ordering.
- Ordering multiple bottles of an untried flavour. Try one bottle before buying in quantity. Flavour perception is personal and individual experience of the same profile varies between adult users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vaporesso DOJO LIQ nic salt e-liquid?
It is a range of 10ml nicotine salt bottled e-liquids in a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, available in 10mg and 20mg strengths across 19 flavours. It is inspired by the Vaporesso Dojo flavour range and designed for use in refillable MTL pod kits. It is not a prefilled pod, not a device, and not a disposable vape.
What bottle size does DOJO LIQ come in?
All DOJO LIQ nic salts come in 10ml bottles — the standard UK TPD-compliant size for e-liquid. Each bottle includes an easy-fill nozzle and a childproof cap.
Is DOJO LIQ suitable for my pod kit?
DOJO LIQ is designed for refillable MTL pod kits that accept 50/50 VG/PG nic salt e-liquid. Check your device manufacturer's recommended e-liquid type before filling. It is not suitable for sub-ohm or high-powered direct-lung devices.
What nicotine strengths are available?
10mg/ml and 20mg/ml options are available across the range. Availability may vary by individual flavour — check the product listing for each flavour before purchasing to confirm both strengths are currently available.
What does "ice" mean in DOJO LIQ flavours?
In ice-style flavours such as Strawberry Ice and Watermelon Ice, "ice" refers to a cooling sensation from a cooling agent on the exhale. It is not a menthol flavour. The cool finish is clean and does not carry the botanical menthol taste. If you want menthol flavour specifically, choose Cool Menthol.
Is "ice" the same as "menthol" in DOJO LIQ?
No. Ice-style flavours produce a cooling sensation without a menthol flavour. Cool Menthol is the only product in this range that delivers a true menthol flavour character alongside its cooling finish. The two experiences are distinctly different.
What does "sour" mean in DOJO LIQ flavours?
In Sour Peach Gummy, Sour Watermelon Candy, and Blueberry Sour Raspberry, "sour" is a tart, acidic-style taste note. It registers as tartness on the palate and is not a cooling agent. These flavours do not include ice or menthol, and the sour note produces no cold sensation.
What does "soda" or "fizzy" mean in DOJO LIQ flavours?
In Pomelo Soda and Fizzy Cherry, these terms describe a sparkling, effervescent flavour impression on the exhale. No e-liquid is carbonated. There is no physical fizzing or tingling from real carbonation — the soda and fizzy character is a taste quality only.
How do I choose between 10mg and 20mg?
The flavour profile is identical between strengths — only the nicotine concentration differs. 10mg is often preferred by adult vapers who vape frequently. 20mg is often preferred by those who vape less often or want a more pronounced result per draw. No medical guidance is offered; choose based on your habits.
Can I use DOJO LIQ in a sub-ohm device?
No. DOJO LIQ is a 50/50 nic salt for MTL pod kits only. Using a 20mg/ml nicotine salt in a sub-ohm or high-powered device may produce a draw many adult users find uncomfortable. Always confirm your device type and recommended e-liquid format before filling.
What is the VG/PG ratio of DOJO LIQ?
All DOJO LIQ nic salts are 50/50 VG/PG. This ratio is standard for MTL pod nic salts and is designed for the coil and wicking requirements of MTL hardware rather than sub-ohm setups.
Why does my pod taste burnt after filling?
A burnt taste on the first draw typically means the coil was not given enough time to saturate after filling. Always wait one to two minutes after filling before drawing. This allows the e-liquid to fully prime the coil and prevents a dry or burnt first draw. This is not a product fault.
How do I choose a DOJO LIQ flavour if I dislike very sweet profiles?
Choose from the lower-sweetness options: Classic Tobacco, Cool Menthol, Lemon Lime, or Pomelo Soda. Avoid the Sour & Candy group and fruit-and-ice profiles if sweetness is a concern. The comparison table on this page shows sweetness levels by profile group.
Is DOJO LIQ TPD compliant?
All DOJO LIQ nic salts are sold in 10ml bottles in line with UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR/TPD). They are legal for purchase and use by adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. Age verification is applied at the point of sale.
How do I store DOJO LIQ bottles?
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and temperature extremes. Keep in original packaging until ready to use. Always store out of reach of children and pets. Prolonged heat exposure before opening may affect e-liquid quality.
Can I switch from disposable vapes to DOJO LIQ?
DOJO LIQ nic salts are designed for refillable MTL pod kits — a different format to disposable vapes. You will need a compatible refillable MTL pod kit. The flavour profiles in the range reflect styles commonly found in the disposable vape category, making it a natural step for adult vapers who want a refillable alternative. No claims about outcomes or cost comparisons are made here.
How long does a 10ml bottle last?
This varies entirely by individual usage — draw frequency, draw length, and session duration all affect how quickly a 10ml bottle is depleted. A general estimate for regular adult vapers is two to five days per bottle, but individual experience varies. No specific duration is guaranteed.
What does "inspired by the Vaporesso Dojo flavour range" mean?
DOJO LIQ flavours are inspired by the Dojo product line-up — they are developed to reflect those flavour directions in a standalone bottled nic salt format. They are not claimed to be identical to any specific Vaporesso Dojo pod or device product. Individual flavour experience will vary.
Do DOJO LIQ e-liquids need steeping before use?
DOJO LIQ nic salts are designed for immediate use without mandatory steeping. If flavour seems muted on first use, ensure the coil is fully primed and the pod is properly sealed. A short rest period of a few minutes after filling is optional but not required.
What features are included with each DOJO LIQ bottle?
Every DOJO LIQ bottle includes an easy-fill nozzle for direct pod filling and a childproof cap. The easy-fill nozzle is designed to insert directly into most MTL pod kit fill ports without tools or additional equipment.
Is there a DOJO LIQ flavour without any cooling, sour, or sweetness?
Classic Tobacco is the lowest-sweetness, no-cooling, no-sour option in the range. It delivers a smooth tobacco-style character with a lightly dry finish. Cool Menthol is low sweetness with a menthol cooling finish. Both suit adult vapers who prefer restrained, non-fruit options.
What if I order the wrong strength?
The strength selector determines which product you receive. Selecting the wrong strength is the most common source of avoidable returns. Check the strength selector carefully before adding to your basket. Review the returns policy page before ordering if you have concerns about this.
