Empire Brew 50ml E-Liquid
First Impressions: What’s It Like Out of the Box?
Right, so the bottle’s got a chilled, almost frosty look. Bit like something you’d expect from a juice with “Ice” in the name. The nozzle’s slim enough to slide into most tanks without faff. No overpowering smell when you open it either, just a hint of what’s inside. You don’t get that sticky feeling on your fingers either, which I’ve had with some other shortfills. Straight off the bat, it feels like they’ve put thought into it without overdoing it.
Daily Use: Smooth or Harsh?
I used this with a mesh coil in my Voopoo setup and vaped it over a few days, switching between flavours. Honestly, the vapour feels light. Doesn’t claw at your throat unless you're really chain-vaping. There’s a decent hit without being rough. You get more flavour with slower pulls though. It doesn’t gunk up the coil quickly either, which is a win if you're lazy with maintenance like me.

Flavours That Stood Out (And One That Didn’t)
Aloe Vera – Bit unexpected. Feels like menthol's calmer cousin. Refreshing but not sweet.
Apple Blackcurrant – Tastes like squash you’d drink cold on a summer day. Balanced and juicy.
Apple Cucumber – This one's... different. Slightly grassy on the exhale, but oddly refreshing. Not my daily, but someone will love it.
Blackcurrant Ice – A proper icy slap with fruity backup. Easily my top pick if you like cool hits.
Citric Passion – Tangy with a sour twist, reminds me of sour sweets. Sharp but fun.
Grappy Grape – Imagine a grape drink with bubbles. Tastes bold without going too sweet.
Ice Lemonade – Like sipping a cold drink in the sun. Tangy with just enough chill.
Mango Apricot – The apricot gives it a soft edge. Less tropical than I expected but still smooth.
Mango Blackcurrant – Surprisingly rich. The mango carries it, blackcurrant adds depth.
Mango Lychee – The lychee makesit a bit floral. Sweet but with a lightness you don’t get in most mango mixes.
Passion Fruit – More mellow than expected, but still carries that tropical punch.
Tangy Zest – Zesty for sure. Has that sweet and sour swirl that hits your tastebuds fast.
Honestly, the only one I didn’t vibe with was Apple Cucumber. Not because it’s bad, but it’s more of a love-it-or-leave-it thing.
Who’ll Love This Vape? Spoiler: Not Heavy Users
This one’s made for casual vapers or folks who like rotating flavours. If you’re the type who ploughs through bottles every few days, you might want something a bit stronger or thicker. But for those who vape here and there, or use it to unwind, it’s ideal. The 50ml size lasts longer than you'd think if you’re not chain-puffing all day.
If you're switching from disposables, this feels familiar but more rewarding flavour-wise. Plus, you control your nicotine with your own nic shot, which makes it a bit more custom.
The Big Question: Is It Worth It?
Yeah, I’d say so. Price-wise, it lands where you'd expect a decent 50ml shortfill to be. You're getting flavour, variety, and something that doesn’t fry your coils in two days. The Empire Brew 50ml E-Liquid range feels made for UK vapers who want something a step up from the basic supermarket brands. It’s also handy that it’s a 0mg nicotine base, so you can add a nic shot or go without.
So if you’re hunting for something fresh, fun, and actually different without going weird for the sake of it, this is a solid pick.
How to Set Up the Device
It’s dead simple if you’ve done this before. Open the Empire Brew 50ml vape juice bottle, squeeze in your nic shot if you’re using one, close it up, and shake the life out of it for a good minute. Let it settle for a bit before you fill your tank. If you’re using a pod system, just make sure the juice line sits above 70VG, which Empire Brew shortfill UK versions usually do.
What’s in the Box
You get one 60ml bottle filled with 50ml of 0mg nicotine Empire Brew e-liquid. That leaves just enough room for a 10ml nic shot if that’s your thing. No extras, no nonsense. Just what you need to get going.
