There’s a huge variety of sweet-flavoured e-liquids, but what if these aren’t your thing? What about non-sweet vape juice? As well as fruit, candy, and dessert-style e-liquid flavours, there’s also a great range of other, non-sweet options out there. 

Whether you’re just switching over from smoking to vaping and want a vape with tobacco-tasting e-liquid, or simply enjoy non-sweet flavours more than the sweeter options, here we dive into some of our top products for this. Explore our list of the best non-sweet vape juice flavours at Vaping.com.

Tobacco Vape Juice

Some users might want a feeling of familiarity when making the move from cigarettes to vapes. Alternatively, you might be further into your vaping journey, and simply enjoy the taste of tobacco more than the sweet vape juices out there. Whatever the reason, here’s our top tobacco non-sweet vape juice product.

Straight N Cut Tobacco

IVG’s Straight N Cut Tobacco 10 ml offers a classic, no-nonsense tobacco taste - ideal for those who want a straightforward, all-tobacco flavour alternative to their non-sweet vape juice. The e-liquid brings a rich, warm tobacco flavour, with a satisfying smooth finish. It’s available in 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, and 18 mg nicotine strengths. With such a wide range of strengths available, we’re confident you’ll find one to match your preferences.

Straight N Cut Tobacco comes in a 50/50 PG/VG blend. This ratio gives the e-liquid a strong flavour and decent throat hit, which can further help offer a sense of familiarity to smoking cigarettes when transitioning over to vaping.

Cucumber (With Menthol Overtones)

AISU’s Cucumber Shortfill 50 ml is a unique non-sweet vape juice UK vapers can find on Vaping.com.
