Riot Squad 10ml nic salt: 10mg or 20mg is the real decision
Flavour comes later. The number you pick first is the strength, because it changes how the liquid behaves more than any flavour does.
Twenty milligrams is the UK legal maximum and what most people use when they first move off cigarettes or bars. It is what a 600-puff bar contained, so it will feel familiar rather than harsh.
Ten milligrams is the step down, and it is more useful than most listings suggest. If 20mg has started to feel sharp in the throat, or you notice you are vaping more than you did at the start, halving the strength usually solves both without changing anything else about your setup.
Both sit in the same bottles at the same price, so the choice costs nothing either way. A box is ten bottles of one flavour at one strength — the selector above sets them together.
This is not the Bar Edition range
Riot Squad runs two separate nic salt lines and they share nothing but the brand.
This is the original range — fifteen flavours with abstract names like Pink Grenade, Purple Burst and Cream Leaf, available at 10mg and 20mg.
The Bar Edition range is the other one: fourteen flavours built to mimic disposable-bar profiles, sold at 20mg only. Different flavours, different strengths, different listing.
Both sit together in the Riot Squad nic salt range if you want to compare them side by side, and the brand's shortfills are listed separately in the wider Riot e-liquid collection.
All fifteen flavours
Riot Squad names things obliquely, so grouping by what they actually taste of is more use than listing them alphabetically.
Berry and dark fruit
Blue Burst · Purple Burst · Fresh Blueberry · Rich Black Grape · Pure Frozen Acai
The deepest group. Blue Burst is the range's best-known flavour; Rich Black Grape is the sweetest of the five and Pure Frozen Acai the sharpest.
Cherry
Cherry Cola · Cherry Fizzle
Two different readings — Cherry Cola leans soft-drink, Cherry Fizzle leans sherbet. Neither is a straight cherry.
Mint and menthol
Pure Minted · Fresh Leaf · Cream Leaf · Lemon Mint
The largest mint group of any brand at this price. Pure Minted is straight menthol; Cream Leaf softens it with vanilla; Lemon Mint is the sharpest. Fresh Leaf sits between the two.
Sweet and dessert
Bubblegun · Loaded Lemon Custard · Pink Grenade · Exotic Fruit
Loaded Lemon Custard is the only true dessert in the range. Pink Grenade is fruit-led despite the name, and Bubblegun is exactly what it sounds like.
Availability shifts, so the selector above is the live list rather than anything printed here.
Which devices these belong in
Refillable pod kits, starter kits and low-wattage pod mods — anything running a coil above roughly 0.8Ω at under 20W.
Nicotine salt is absorbed faster and feels smoother at the same strength than freebase nicotine, which is why 20mg is tolerable in a salt and would be harsh as freebase. The practical consequence is that a salt satisfies from a few draws rather than a long session — much closer to a cigarette than sub-ohm vaping is, and the main reason salts suit people who have just stopped smoking.
That behaviour depends entirely on the hardware. Putting 20mg nic salt in a sub-ohm tank at 80W would be genuinely unpleasant; that is what shortfills at 3mg exist for. If you own a refillable pod, replacement pods across the brands covers what fits what — and the higher-resistance options in any range are the ones to pair with a 20mg salt.
What it will not do is fill a sealed prefilled pod. Those come with liquid already in them and cannot be topped up.
Riot Squad nic salt Box of 10 — specification

Ten millilitres is the largest bottle a nicotine-containing liquid can legally be sold in here, which is why nic salts are bought by the box rather than in bigger bottles — every 10ml e-liquid stocked here works the same way.
Riot Squad 10ml nic salt e-liquid and UK rules
UK regulations cap a nicotine-containing bottle at 10ml and the strength at 20mg/ml. That is why every nic salt on the UK market is sold in a 10ml bottle at 20mg or below — there is no legal larger option. [documented — gov.uk, Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016]
The October 2026 duty
Vaping Products Duty begins on 1 October 2026 at £2.20 per 10ml. On a 10ml bottle that is £2.20 flat, or £2.64 with VAT — and across a Box of 10, £22 before VAT. [documented — gov.uk Vaping Products Duty guidance]
Because the duty is a fixed amount per 10ml rather than a percentage, it lands hardest on cheaper bottles: a £3 bottle and a £7 bottle both take the same £2.20. Prices will not change on the day, though — existing stock can be sold until 31 March 2027, so the rise arrives gradually. Our breakdown of the vape tax covers the picture format by format.
One thing worth knowing: nic salt in a tight MTL pod is the format least affected by the duty, because it uses the least liquid per satisfying draw. Prefilled against refillable sets out the wider comparison.
Questions about Riot Squad nic salts
What strengths are available?
10mg and 20mg. Twenty is the UK maximum and the usual starting point off cigarettes; ten is the step down when 20 starts feeling harsh.
How many bottles are in a Box of 10?
Ten 10ml bottles of one flavour at one strength. Choose both in the selector before ordering.
Is this the same as Riot Squad Bar Edition?
No. Bar Edition is a separate line with different flavours, sold at 20mg only. This is the original Riot Squad nic salt range.
Which devices do these suit?
MTL pod kits and refillable pods at low wattage. They are not for sub-ohm tanks — 20mg at high power is harsh and wasteful.
Can I use nic salt in a prefilled pod device?
No. Prefilled pods are sealed and come with their own liquid. Nic salt is for pods you fill yourself.
How long does a 10ml bottle last?
Roughly the same as five 600-puff bars, though it depends entirely on how often you vape and at what wattage.
Where is Riot Squad made?
In the United Kingdom, in packaging meeting UK requirements including a childproof cap and tamper-evident seal.
Will the October 2026 duty affect the price?
Yes. At £2.20 per 10ml, each bottle carries £2.20 in duty before VAT — £22 across a Box of 10.
