DSLabs (DarkStar Laboratory Flavours) (NEW)

Lovingly referred to as 'Labs Day' by our community, for the last 5 years, the final Thursday of each month has seen the release of new prototype Bottle Shot flavours for the community to try and review.

These products are available as 'pre-steeped' Bottle Shots, and are approved by our mixologists before their release, with the most popular flavours being released into a permanent product on the DarkStar store.

View all of our DSLabs prototype flavours (in limited stock), with a full list of over 70 Laboratory Approved flavours, finding their home on our store as voted for by you.

Flavour Concentrates (NEW)

We have over 400 flavour concentrates available from 11 powerhouses across the worldwide flavour industry. We use these concentrates to mix all of our recipes and make them available to you in volumes from 30ml up to 1 litre.

A good stock of fundamental flavours is essential for any aspiring flavour mixologist. You can search through our extensive range on our flavour concentrates page, or view all of our available DIY Mixing Accessories for everything you need to mix your own.

Long Fill Flavours (NEW)

Long Fills combine the convenience of Short Fills (a small bottle with a dropper cap) with the customisation of Bottle Shots (concentrated liquid with space for extras) to create a popular hybrid product which gives you the best of both worlds. 

In 2026 our Long Fill range has expanded to include many DarkStar flavours as well as showcasing a new range in POD FOG, and new additions to the DarkStar Family of Brands in Simply Leaf and Juice Cabin

POD FOG (+Nic Salt E-liquid) (NEW)

Expertly formulated to unlock maximum flavour intensity and ideally suited for use in pod devices. POD FOG products being new and fan favourite flavours alike to a range that has been designed to accompany the rise of pod devices by vapers following the disposable ban. 

As well as 60ml & 120ml Long Fills, POD FOG products are also available in 10ml Nic Salt E-liquid products, specially formulated with smooth salt based nicotine which boosts the flavour and provides a stronger hit of nicotine without raising the nicotine content.

If POD FOG would be great for your device, here's a great starter bundle. You can also view the entire range if you're ready to jump in.

NETs (Naturally Extracted Tobacco) (NEW)

We spend months extracting the natural flavours and tones of real tobacco leaves and infuse them into a plain e-liquid base. These Naturally Extracted Tobacco (NET) flavours are Nicotine Free and can be purchased as a straight flavour concentrate for those wishing to mix their own, or as a Long Fill product which allows you to add what you like before enjoying the flavours straight away.

For an in-depth dive into NETs, you can do so in our blog post 'What is Naturally Extracted Tobacco?'.

Bottle Shot Flavours (Refreshed)

Bottle Shots are (still) our best selling range, and for good reason. They're the perfect combination of great flavours, massive volume, and the ability to customise without the need for any additional mixing equipment. 

Available in 250ml bottles (and above), we pre-fill Bottle Shots with the perfect percentage of flavour concentrate for you to easily top up with your preference of dilutant, nicotine, and any other flavour additions that you may want to add.

With 180+ flavours across 7 brands you're virtually guaranteed to find the right flavour for you.

One Shot Flavours (Refreshed)

One Shots are entire bottles filled with our concentrated recipes. The same 180+ flavours in their most concentrated form, ready to be mixed to your liking with your own bottles and equipment.

Each flavour comes with the mix percentage printed on the side, so you can always get the perfect straight mixture when using dilutant, or modify it to your liking with all the information that you need.

You can view our full range of One Shots here. Our One Shots are proprietary recipes made using the very same single-flavour concentrates that we sell in our store, all of which you can find here.

Short Fill Flavours (Refreshed)

Short Fills and almost-complete flavours that come with an integrated dropper cap in the bottle.

The space remaining in the bottle allows you to add Nicotine Shot to your desired strength. Then it's as simple as shaking and vaping your complete flavour. We always recommend leaving it 24 hours for the nicotine to settle.

Nicotine Shots (Refreshed)

Cold stored, pharma-grade nicotine is the product that put DarkStar on the map. The same nicotine that we use in our products is available for you to buy as Nicotine Shots.

Nicotine Shots are available in a few different types:
- Pharma Grade. Your classic e-liquid experience. Most vape products contain this type of nic.
- Smooth Salt. A smoother vape overall, with a formula that allows you to absorb more nicotine.
- Ice Cold Koolada. Our Pharma Grade nic shot with WS-23 to make your inhale feel cold.

Each of our Bottle Shot, Short Fill and Long Fill products come with instructions of how many Nicotine Shots to add to to bottle to reach your desired strength. We store all of our nicotine in sub-zero temperatures to keep them fresh. If you're picking some up, we'd recommend doing the same.

Dilutant (PG, VG & Base Mix) (Refreshed)

Dilutant is used to bring the strength of concentrated flavour down to a level that is pleasant to vape, and comes in two basic forms: Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG). The ratio of these liquids in an e-liquid can vary the experience you have when vaping the final flavour.

Over the years, many seasoned vapers have settled on a a couple of different ratios for their preferred experience. We offer ready-made Base Mix on our store for customers who tend to like an even balance between the benefits of both.

If you're in doubt, or just starting out, we'd recommend mixing with our 70/30 formula to get going.

(There's a lot to cover when it comes to PG and VG, for more information, read our 2026 guide to PG & VG.)

Summary

That's a summary of our top-line products, hopefully you feel a little more informed about what we have to offer our customers. We have over 500 products available from the huge DarkStar Family of Brands and, with the exception of a few bits of hardware and raw flavour, we make all of our products in our UK based laboratory.
