Best longfill
flavours for
2025

A retrospective UK ranking of the flavour profiles that sold most, satisfied most plus got reordered most across the 2025 longfill market. Ten flavours covering fruit, dessert, menthol plus tobacco categories.

Updated: April 2026
Written by: Josh Douglas, Dispergo CEO
Ranking period: Jan to Dec 2025
The short answer

The 2025 longfill market was dominated by cooled tropical fruit blends. Strawberry watermelon ice took the overall top spot for the third consecutive year thanks to near-universal appeal. Blue raspberry lemonade plus pineapple lime cooler rounded out the fruit podium. Caramel tobacco plus vanilla custard held their positions as the default dessert picks for evening vapers. Mint ice remained the default cooling flavour for ex-smokers. Expect these categories to stay dominant into 2026.

The 2025 numbers

Three numbers
that defined 2025

Growth, category dominance plus the year’s biggest repeat-buy flavour. Here is 2025 in three data points.

40%

Tropical growth

Tropical fruit blends grew 40 percent year on year across the UK longfill market.

62%

Fruit category share

Fruit plus fruit-menthol blends accounted for roughly 62 percent of longfill sales.

3rd

Consecutive year

Strawberry watermelon ice took the overall top spot for the third year in a row.

The detailed answer

2025 was the year tropical fruit went mainstream plus single-note flavours stopped selling.

The big story of 2025 was complexity. Single-note fruit flavours like pure strawberry or pure apple continued to lose market share to layered blends with three or four notes plus a cooling top. A blend like mango passionfruit pineapple ice would have been considered a specialist flavour five years ago. By the end of 2025 it was the default all-day vape in most UK pod kits.

The second story was categorical stability. Despite the constant stream of new product launches, 2025 proved that vapers stay loyal to a handful of profiles once they find what works. Repeat-purchase data showed the top ten flavours accounted for more than half of total UK longfill volume. New flavours that launched during the year needed to beat those ten to gain any lasting traction, which most did not.

The third story was the emergence of ice as a default. Non-iced versions of popular fruit blends lost ground to their iced counterparts almost without exception. Ex-smokers in particular gravitated toward mint ice as a nicotine delivery format, while younger adult vapers took to fruit ice combinations in preference to pure fruits. Expect iced variants to continue outpacing their non-iced siblings into 2026.

How the rankings were built

This list reflects UK sales data from Dispergo Vaping across all longfill brands we stocked in 2025, weighted heavily toward repeat purchases rather than first-time trial bottles. A flavour that sells once but never gets reordered is a hype buy, not a genuine winner. We also factored in customer ratings left on product pages plus the proportion of reviewers who said they would buy again. The final list favours flavour profiles that UK vapers actually stuck with for multiple bottles:

  • Sales volume. Total 60ml bottles shipped January to December 2025.
  • Repeat purchase rate. Percentage of buyers who reordered within 90 days.
  • Average rating. Mean star rating across on-site reviews.
  • Category spread. Deliberately balanced to cover fruit, dessert, menthol plus tobacco.
UK authority source check. Longfill sales data referenced in this article is drawn from Dispergo Vaping’s internal UK retail figures for 2025. Category trend observations are consistent with publicly reported UK Vaping Industry Association data plus the wider ECITA reporting for the same period. All flavour profiles listed are available as TPD-compliant longfills under the 20mg/ml nicotine cap.

2025 flavour trends

What moved
what faded

Up 40 percent year on year

Tropical blends

Mango, passionfruit, guava plus pineapple combinations were 2025’s biggest growth story. Consumer appetite for multi-layered flavours drove the category hard.

Up 25 percent year on year

Ice variants

Iced versions of existing fruit profiles outgrew non-iced siblings across almost every flavour family. The iced default continued in pod kits especially.

Down 18 percent year on year

Single-note fruits

Plain strawberry, plain apple plus plain blackcurrant lost share to multi-fruit blends. The complexity bar has risen. One-note flavours increasingly feel dated.

Frequently asked

2025 flavour questions

What were the best longfill flavours of 2025?
The 2025 UK longfill market was dominated by fruit blends with menthol edges. Strawberry watermelon ice took the overall top spot for the third year running. Blue raspberry lemonade plus pineapple lime cooler rounded out the fruit category. Caramel tobacco plus vanilla custard remained the top picks for dessert lovers. Mint ice held steady as the default cooling flavour for ex-smokers.
What flavour category grew fastest in 2025?
Tropical fruit blends grew roughly 40 percent year on year in 2025 across UK longfill sales. Mango passionfruit, pineapple lime plus guava pineapple combinations saw the biggest lifts. This mirrored a wider market shift away from single-note fruits toward more complex layered profiles with multiple fruits plus cooling notes.
Are these rankings based on real data?
The rankings come from our own UK sales data across the Nixer plus wider longfill range plus customer reviews submitted on product pages. They are weighted toward repeat purchases rather than one-off trials which gives a clearer picture of which flavours people actually stick with beyond the first bottle. Your individual preferences may differ from the aggregate.
How does the 2026 vape tax affect this list?
The 2026 vape duty applies to e-liquid by volume so longfills remain one of the most cost-effective ways to buy flavour since the concentrate plus base ship separately. Flavour choice is not affected by the duty itself. Expect 2026 flavour trends to follow the same categories as 2025 given the duty does not restrict ingredient choice, only pricing.
Where can I buy these flavours in the UK?
All the flavour profiles in our ranking are available through the Nixer longfill range at Dispergo Vaping plus through a handful of other UK-based longfill producers. Every Nixer flavour is manufactured in-house at our Oxfordshire facility with matched Mixer Kits sold alongside. See the Nixer collection page for the current selection plus strength options.
