EDGE Core E-Liquid

Freebase 50-50 e-liquids like those in the EDGE Core range are still the most popular type of e-liquid sold today, and for good reason:

Nicotine Strength Variety
Freebase vape juices are available in the broadest range of nicotine strengths of all e-liquid types you can buy. This means they give you the greatest amount of flexibility both in choosing the right strength when starting out vaping, as well as being able to work your way down the available strengths in stages until you achieve your cessation goals.

Familiarity To Smoking
EDGE Core freebase 50-50 e-liquids are a great place to start out your vaping journey as a recent ex-smoker. This is not only because of the variety of nicotine strengths noted above allowing you to match your vaping level to your craving intensity, but also because freebase nicotine delivers a throat hit. Throat hit from vaping is more or less intense based on the nic strength you choose, with 3mg being the mildest and 18mg being the most intense - many ex-smokers find this makes the act of vaping closer to that of smoking, easing the transition to your new alternative and helping to prevent relapse.

All-Day-Vape Flavours That Preserve Coil Lifespan
Ranges like EDGE Core have a great selection of flavours to choose from, catering to most tastes. Unlike nic salt vape juice like our Bar Salts range, the flavourings in EDGE Core are single-concentrated and contain less sweetener, meaning they are less likely to become overpowering or sickly when vaped for long periods of time. It also means they will degrade your vape coils/pods slower, meaning you need to buy replacements less often.

Compatible With Most Vape Kits
Freebase 50-50 e-liquids are blended using a balanced ration of PG and VG, this means they are compatible with a very wide range of beginner and intermediate vape kits, particularly pod kits and pen vapes. This makes life easier, especially when new to vaping, as you won't have to learn lots about ohms and watts to start vaping, or pay out a fortune for expensive vape tech - just aim for any kit running low watts and a coil rated between 0.8 and 1.2ohms+ and you'll be in the right ballpark!

50-50 vape juice is named as such because it is mixed specifically to contain a balanced ration of Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerol (VG) - the ingredients responsible for carrying flavour and delivering vapour and nicotine.

This type of e-liquid is thinner in consistency than 70-30 'High VG' vape juice, which is designed specifically for higher powered sub-ohm vape kits which have coils rated at 0.6ohm and below, designed to absorb the thicker e-liquid. 50-50 e-liquid can be used at lower wattage outputs and with coils rated at circa 1.0ohm and above.

50-50 e-liquid is considered the "standard/normal" e-liquid type but can contain either freebase nicotine or nicotine salts depending on your preference.

EDGE Core e-liquids contain the following ingredients:

Propylene Glycol (PG) -
A colourless & flavourless base liquid with the consistency of water, used in the manufacture of many foods and medicines. In e-liquid, it acts as a flavour carrier and helps the ingredients form a stable mixture.

Vegetable Glycerol (VG) -
A colourless and mostly flavourless base with the exception of a slight sweetness and a thick consistency. It is used to make many household consumables like medicines and food. In e-liquid, it acts as a secondary flavour carrier and produces the vapour clouds we inhale.

Freebase Nicotine -
Nicotine molecules are freely suspended in a PG base diluted to 7.2% to allow us to accurately dose our e-liquid batches and deliver different strengths. freebase nicotine has a throat hit that many vapers enjoy, however, if you don't like this aspect then nic salt vape juice like our Bar Salt range offers a smoother alternative.

Flavour Concentrates Developed For Vaping -
Highly refined in our labs by our in-house flavour experts to work specifically for vaping - no cheaply repurposed food flavourings go into our vape liquids; we make premium flavourings in our labs for maximum quality and safety, designed specifically to be vaped for your satisfaction.

Freebase nicotine is the most commonly used nicotine for vaping. It consists of nicotine particles freely suspended in PG, which makes it easy to mix into stable e-liquid recipes. Our nicotine is diluted to 7.2% in PG, which allows us to accurately calculate our different nicotine strength doses. Nicotine is naturally alkali, which is why it hits our throats when inhaled as a vapour or cigarette smoke. Nic salts do not have this throat hit, whereas freebase does. If you prefer that slight hit when vaping, freebase nicotine is for you.

There's a little bit of something for everyone in the EDGE Core e-liquid range, including:

Mint & Menthol Vape Flavours
Cool and refreshing e-liquids, with either clean menthol or minty flavour notes like our EDGE very menthol. An ideal flavour choice for those who enjoy a simple all-day-vape, or ex-menthol smokers looking for a familiar experience.

Tobacco Vape Flavours
while some choose to vape to get away from smoking tobacco, many enjoy the wide range of tobacco e-liquid flavours available like our Virginia or British Tobacco vape liquids. The familiar flavours can make transitioning from cigarettes a little easier while delivering the same robust and unique tastes of different tobaccos.

Fruit Vape Flavours
The most popular flavour type amongst UK vapers today, fruity vape juice offers arguably the widest range of flavour choices to vapers, with literally thousands of variations out there to try from tropical fruits to cherries and berries. The EDGE Core range features classics like Strawberry and Cherry, as well as more adventurous blends like Strawberry Watermelon.

Fruit Ice/Menthol Vape Flavours
Many vapers have fallen in love with fruit ice vapes, with their sweet and refreshing flavour pairings. Ice vapes offer a clean cooling effect to other flavours without any mintiness, whereas fruit menthol vapes offer an almost cough-sweet-like experience such as our Cherry Menthol.

Drink/Beverage Vape Flavours
There are lots of vape liquid flavour profiles inspired by drinks out there, including in the EDGE Core range. We offer a selection of unique beverage-inspired vapes including Vanilla Latte and Strawberry Milkshake!

We could make a case for any of the vape flavours in our flagship Core range being the best, but over the years some of our blends have proven to be infinitely popular with our UK customers:

Very Menthol is our all-time best-selling vape juice, with a double shot of menthol flavour and a hint of peppermint, selling over 100,000 bottles every month.

British Tobacco is our top-selling tobacco vape flavour, combining rich dark tobacco flavourings with lightly toasted tobacco notes to create a profile our customers can't get enough of.

Cherry Menthol is a classic vape flavour pairing and ours has proven to be very popular over the years thanks to its well-balanced sweetness and cooling menthol notes.

Blackcurrant might not sound very exciting, but sometimes less is more when it comes to vape flavours. We have honed this vape flavour over the years to become one of the best on the market and it is a popular repeat order for many of our regular customers.

EDGE Core is a 50-50 e-liquid range, which means it is thinner in consistency than High-VG vape liquids. As such, it works best when paired with vape kits using coils rated at 1.0ohm+ as these will have smaller wicking ports that the thinner e-liquid can easily absorb into to ensure consistent performance.

As the EDGE Core range uses freebase nicotine, it is advised to use vape kits at lower power outputs (wattage) to avoid extreme throat hits at higher nicotine strengths. Any beginner or intermediate pod or pen vape kit should serve you well when using EDGE Core or indeed any 50-50 freebase vape juice.

If sticking to our recommended vape kit/coil style you will likely be using a coil rated at approximately 1.0ohms - in most cases, a wattage range of 10-20watts should suit your needs and deliver a smooth vape.

There are of course exceptions to this rule depending on your flavour type, chosen device settings, and personal preference - if in doubt, check your device/coil or their manuals/packaging, in almost all cases they will advise a suitable wattage range for your tech.

Like all our EDGE vape juice, the EDGE Core range is subject to the strictest safety and quality standards.

Keep all e-liquids away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Store them upright where possible with the cap secured.

Please note:

Sunlight can cause nicotine to turn darker in colour but this is natural and does not mean it is unsafe to vape.

Extreme heat or cold can change the viscosity of your e-liquid which can affect its performance in certain vape device types. It can also cause splitting which will make the e-liquid unpleasant to use as the nicotine concentration will become inconsistent.

Over time all e-liquids slowly steep - this is the process by which the flavour matures and changes. Steeping is not a bad thing over short periods, but very old e-liquids can over steep and become unpleasant to consume.

The upcoming vape ban set to take effect from June 2025 will not affect 10ml vape liquids like the EDGE Core range. The ban will specifically target single-use disposable vapes like Elf Bar, SKE Crystal, Geek Bar, and Elux products.

It is not yet known if the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will include restrictions on packaging and flavour type, however none of the flavours in the EDGE Core range currently fall within the scope of concerns driving the new restrictions.
