With so many different e-liquids out there, it can sometimes be difficult to know whether you're making the right choice. A big deciding factor will always be price. There's a common misconception that you have to spend an absolute fortune on e-liquid to get quality, this is very much not the case. With so many ranges catering to the vaper on a budget, you'll feel spoilt for choice. Because of this, we thought it would be wise to compile a recommended list of the best cheap e-liquids.

This list will cover both high VG and high PG e-liquids, freebase and salt nics, so whether you're using a smaller kit for Mouth To Lung vaping or a sub ohm vape kit, you'll find e-liquids that suit you. For more information on e-liquids overall, you can check out our beginner's guide to e-liquid. For now though, here's our list of the top 10 budget-friendly e-liquids.

Let’s kick things off by talking about a range that you should definitely check out if you’re after an extensive range of flavours. Riot Squad takes inspiration from popular fruits, sodas and desserts. Their e-liquids come in 10ml bottles, 30ml multipacks and 50ml shortfills, so you have plenty of options. Their Hybrid Salts range combines the rapid absorption of nicotine that you'd associate with nic salt e-liquid, with the stronger throat hit of standard freebase nicotine.

When it comes to picking a flavour, you have plenty to choose from (the range boasts 100 flavours!). Whether you prefer a straightforward vape or more complex blends, there’s bound to be something to suit you. After something layered and fruity? Strawberry, Raspberry & Blueberry has you covered. Perhaps you fancy a bit of fizz? If that’s the case, then Cherry Fizzle should hit the spot nicely.

Out of all the disposables that we stock, Elf Bars have got to be some of the most popular. Their flavours are so popular that Elf Bar decided to bring out a range of nic salt e-liquids inspired by their best-sellers. The Elfliq collection recreates classics from the range while adding some new blends into the mix.

Boasting such a massive range of flavours, it’d be pretty difficult to choose just one to recommend. Along with the standard fruit, soda and menthol blends you’d expect from a disposable-inspired e-liquid range, you’ll find some very unique flavours exclusive to the collection. These include fruity dessert flavours like Rhubarb Snoow, candy blends with a hint of aniseed like Black Jack, and even herbal-inspired options like Summer Aloe.

Re-Salt is a UK e-liquid brand with a speciality in blends that lie on the simpler side of things. That said, they’re still punchy, and ideal if you’re looking for a bold flavour. This is another range that focuses on nic salts, so each blend will provide a smooth throat hit while dealing with your cravings in no time. Plus, they come in a choice of nicotine strengths ranging from 5mg – 20mg, so if you want to taper down, it’s easy.

You’ll find a pretty varied range of flavours in the Re-Salt collection. There’s a plethora of fruity flavours, from tangy options like Rhubarb Razz and Blue Power to sweeter blends including Fruit Crush and Peach Ice Tea. If you’d prefer something a tad more indulgent, there are also a few dessert-inspired blends like Vanilla Donut and Butterscotch to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Edge is a UK-based e-liquid manufacturer that’s known for straightforward blends that are easy on the wallet. If you like your vape juice with a bit more of a throat hit, then the Edge Core Range should do the job perfectly, as each e-liquid is blended with freebase nicotine. There's a wide range of nic strengths from 3mg – 18mg, so there’s bound to be a blend to suit you no matter how strong or weak you prefer your vape juice.

This range keeps it classic with a solid selection of simple yet timeless flavours. If you’re a fan of more traditional blends, then flavours like Very Menthol, Virginia Tobacco and British Tobacco. Plus, fruit fans are spoilt for choice. We have juicy mixed berry medleys like Forest Fruits, fruity duos that strike a balance between sweet and tart like Strawberry & Lime, and blends with a rich creamy base like Strawberry Milkshake.

Here’s another one for the vapers who just can’t get enough of their favourite disposable flavours. Lost Mary disposable vapes took the industry by storm when they came out, so it’s only natural that they’d follow in the footsteps of Elf Bar and bring out their own range of Maryliq vape juices. Just like the disposables they’re based on, these e-liquids are blended with salt nicotine in a 20mg strength, so you’ll get the same light throat hit and quick craving satisfaction.

The Maryliq range boasts a large selection of classic Lost Mary flavours, as well as some new blends for you to choose from. If you want to stick with a tried and true staple, Blueberry Sour Raspberry is always a good shout. Missing the warmer months and fancy a taste of summer? If so, we’d go for Pink Lemonade. There’s also Menthol if you’re just after a cold blast of ice.

Jak’d is known for its punchy e-liquids that recreate the most popular flavours from well-known brands, such as Jack Rabbit, Unreal and Clotted Dreams. You can get them as both 10ml nic salts and 100ml shortfills, so whether you’re an MTL vaper or you use a sub ohm kit, there’s a blend for you. The nic salts are available in strengths of 5mg–20mg, while the shortfills have room in the bottle for two nicotine shots of your choice.

Jak’d is another range that primarily focuses on fruity flavours, with tangy blends like Pineapple, Lemon & Lime or slightly sweeter options like Cherry Ice. That said, if you’re after a sugary kick, there are a few dessert and candy flavours for you to get hands on like Custard Donut, Blue Raspberry Cream Pie and Strawberry Banana Bubblegum.

Club Juice is a well-respected e-liquid brand that's proved there’s no need to compromise on taste when creating affordable blends. This UK company focuses on high-quality yet straightforward flavour profiles. Club Juice’s 50/50 line uses freebase nicotine to provide a noticeable throat hit. Club Juice Nic Salts deliver a smoother throat hit and take care of your cravings a lot faster.

This range focuses on simpler blends. If you’re a coffee lover, then Vanilla Latte will be right up your street. Fruit fans can check out flavours like Apple, Grape and Strawberry. Want to keep it classic? There are plenty of menthol and tobacco blends to choose from, such as Ice Menthol and Virginia Tobacco. Whatever you go for, they’ll work best with MTL kits, thanks to the 50% VG concentration.

Although marketed as budget-friendly options, V4 Vapour e-liquids offer a level of flavour that you’ll usually only find in some of the pricier juices out there. Made right here in the UK, they focus on straightforward flavours. These e-liquids come in the form of freebase nicotine blends that are perfect for MTL vaping, so expect a strong throat hit and an inhale that feels like a cigarette. They’re also available as 50ml and 100ml shortfills, which you can pair with sub ohm kits and add a nic shot or two.

There’s a wide selection of fruit, menthol, tobacco, dessert, coffee and soda blends to peruse. This range mainly keeps it simple with single-note flavours like Ice Drop, Cola and Blueberry. However, if you’re looking for something a little more complex, try out layered blends like Fruit Salad or Vanilla Tart.

The creators of the famous £1 e-liquid, 88Vape offers simple yet bold blends that don’t break the bank. Mixed and bottled in the UK, these e-liquids are available in a wide variety of flavours. They come in 10ml bottles with a 50% VG concentration, which is great if you’re an MTL vaper. You also can get them as shortfills, so there are plenty of options for sub ohm kits too. After something simple and pocket-friendly to vape on the go? You can check out the 88Vape disposables.

88Vape has something to suit most tastes. For dessert lovers, Raspberry Ripple is a must-try. If you’re a candy connoisseur, Rainbow Burst should be right up your alley. Sucker for some soda? Red Cola brings the fizz. And of course, there’s a whole host of traditional fruit, tobacco and menthol flavours like Sweet Strawberry, Rolling Leaf and Menthol Chill. Whatever floats your boat, all of the e-liquids mentioned come in strengths of 1mg – 6mg, so they’re perfect if you’re not a fan of stronger blends.

Next up, we have the Proper Vape range from vape juice giants, Zeus Juice. With prices starting from just £1.50, these e-liquids are a great choice if you’re in a bit of a pinch and need some juice.
