Ohm Boy is an Oxford-based e-liquid brand that launched in 2017 with three flavours and won Best Drink Flavour and Best Up-and-Coming Brand at the Vapor Expo UK within their first year. Not a bad start. The brand built its reputation on botanical-influenced, complex flavour profiles: combinations like apple, elderflower and garden mint, or rhubarb, raspberry and orange blossom, that most e-liquid brands at the time weren't attempting.
At VapeCity, we stock the Volume 2 100ml shortfills and the SLT range, which includes both the V2 nic salt line and the SLT Bar Edition. The Bar Edition takes the bar-vape flavour format familiar from disposables and puts it into a proper 10ml nic salt bottle, so you get the flavour profile you're used to from a device you can refill. All SLT liquids are 50/50 VG/PG, available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg.
The 100ml shortfill comes in packs of 5 for £35.99 (£7.19 a bottle). SLT 10ml nic salts from 10 for £7.99. Fast UK delivery.

The brand comes out of the Oxford Vapers group, which makes it genuinely UK-made in the full sense: not a UK-registered company importing from overseas, but a team that researches, blends and tests their recipes domestically. The botanical approach was deliberate from the start. The founders were after flavours with more complexity and realism than the single-note fruit e-liquids that dominated the market in the mid-to-late 2010s.
That meant longer development cycles, more ingredients per blend, and flavour profiles that sometimes take a few puffs to settle into. Rhubarb, Raspberry and Orange Blossom is a good example: the rhubarb sharpness comes first, the raspberry fills it out on the exhale, and the orange blossom adds a faint floral note underneath that makes the whole thing feel finished rather than flat.
The industry noticed. Awards at Vapor Expo UK in the first year were followed by consistent placement in shortlist features from the major UK vaping publications. The brand has stayed independent, which is increasingly unusual in a market where most notable labels get absorbed by larger distribution groups within a few years.

The Volume 2 range is the flagship line: 100ml shortfill bottles, 0mg, 70VG/30PG, built for sub-ohm kits and direct-lung vaping. Add one 18mg nic shot to hit roughly 3mg across the full 110ml; two shots give you 3mg in a 120ml blend if you want to stretch the bottle. Leave it at 0mg if you've already moved off nicotine.
The flavours in Volume 2 are the botanical range the brand is known for: multi-ingredient blends where the individual components are named because they genuinely contribute something. Apple, Elderflower and Garden Mint is a reasonable test case. Apple is the main note; elderflower adds a sweetness that doesn't read as sugar syrup; garden mint keeps the whole thing cool without going menthol. It's a profile you either find restrained and elegant, or find underwhelming if you're used to the louder fruit-forward shortfills from brands like Nasty Juice or Doozy.
The 70/30 ratio means cloud production is good but not extreme. In an RDA or a high-VG-capable sub-ohm tank, Volume 2 behaves exactly as you'd expect. In a lower-powered device or a pod kit with a tight coil, the flavour can lose some definition. These liquids are designed for the higher end of the sub-ohm range.
Sold in packs of 5 for £35.99, that's £7.19 a bottle. Compared to the budget shortfill market where 100ml regularly comes in under £5 a bottle, Ohm Boy sits at a premium. The tradeoff is flavour complexity: if you're happy with something straightforward, the premium is hard to justify. If you've exhausted the simpler options and want something that reads differently after six months of the same thing, this is where you look.
Two formats, three price points. Both are TPD-compliant and UK-legal.
| Range | Format | VG/PG | Nicotine | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volume 2 | 100ml shortfill | 70/30 | 0mg (add nic shot) | 5 for £35.99 (£7.19/bottle) |
| SLT V2 | 10ml nic salt | 50/50 | 5mg / 10mg / 20mg | 10 for £18.99 (£1.89 each) |
| SLT Bar Edition | 10ml nic salt | 50/50 | 5mg / 10mg / 20mg | From 10 for £7.99 |
Shortfills are 0mg; add a nic shot separately if you want nicotine in your 100ml.

SLT stands for salt nicotine liquid: the 10ml nic salt format built for pod kits and low-wattage MTL devices. Ohm Boy offers SLT in two distinct lines, with meaningfully different approaches to flavour.
The SLT V2 range carries the botanical spirit of the shortfills into a salt format. Cherry Ice is the available example at VapeCity: a fruit profile with an ice finish, 50/50, and available in 5mg, 10mg or 20mg. It's a cleaner, more direct profile than the full botanical blends, which makes sense because the 10ml salt format and a pod kit are a different delivery mechanism to a sub-ohm rig. The subtler notes tend to get lost at lower wattages, so the SLT range leans into the clearer elements.
The SLT Bar Edition is a more deliberate move toward the flavour profiles that disposable vapes made popular. Pink Lemonade Ice, Guava Mango Ice, Apple Blackcurrant Ice, Peach Passionfruit Ice, Blue Raspberry Lemonade Ice: these are all recognisable disposable-bar flavours, but in a proper 10ml bottle you refill into a pod kit. The practical benefit is obvious. The same flavour hit, a rechargeable device, and considerably less waste per day of vaping.
For people moving from a Lost Mary or Elfliq-style disposable who want to keep their flavour profile without the ongoing cost and single-use packaging, Bar Edition is the logical transition. A pack of 10 Bar Edition bottles at £7.99 works out to £0.79 per bottle, which is significantly cheaper per-use than the equivalent in disposables.
If you're used to a disposable bar vape, the SLT Bar Edition flavours are a direct translation into a refillable format. Pick the flavour closest to your current disposable (Guava Mango, Pink Lemonade, Blue Raspberry), grab a pod kit that runs 50/50 liquids, and load it with 20mg if you were on a standard-strength bar. Cost per day typically drops to a third or less compared to buying disposables.

The obvious comparisons are the other independent, premium-positioning UK e-liquid brands: Doozy, Dinner Lady, Nasty Juice, Just Juice. Ohm Boy sits at the more artisanal end of that group. Doozy and Just Juice offer bigger portfolios and more straightforward flavour profiles at competitive pricing. Nasty Juice comes in from Malaysia and leans on bolder, louder fruit and menthol profiles. Ohm Boy's botanical positioning is genuinely different: fewer options, more layered flavours, aimed at the vaper who wants something that takes a few sessions to fully appreciate.
Against Just Juice, which is available at VapeCity as a shortfill-focused brand with a clean fruit-forward range, Ohm Boy is harder to recommend for someone who wants simple and reliable. If straightforward raspberry or mango is what you're after, Just Juice does that clearly and cheaply. If you want something that includes a note of orange blossom or elderflower alongside the main fruit, Ohm Boy earns its price premium.
Running cost comparison at standard shortfill usage (10ml of e-liquid per day): Ohm Boy Volume 2 costs £7.19 per 100ml bottle, so about 72p per day at that usage rate. Budget shortfills can come in at under 40p per day at the same rate. The difference across a month is noticeable, around £9 to £12. Whether that's worth it is a straightforward question about how much flavour complexity matters to you versus cost per day.

Shop all SLT Bar Edition →The Volume 2 shortfill is for sub-ohm vaping. If you own a mod, a regulated kit, or any device with a coil above 0.5 ohm that you run at 30W or more, this is the format. High-VG liquids in pod kits don't tend to perform well: the coils aren't built for them, the flavour comes out muffled, and you go through cotton faster than you should.
The SLT range, both V2 and Bar Edition, is for pod kits, starter kits, and mouth-to-lung devices. 50/50 VG/PG works in most pods. If you're a newer vaper, recently off cigarettes, or using a compact kit you carry daily, this is the right tier.
If you're choosing between SLT V2 and SLT Bar Edition: the V2 flavours are more nuanced and closer to the botanical character of the shortfill range. The Bar Edition is more direct, recognisable, and closer to the flavour profile of a disposable bar. Neither is a wrong choice; they serve different preferences.
People who find themselves vaping a lot in situations where a sub-ohm kit isn't practical (commuting, offices, outdoor events) often end up using both: a shortfill setup at home and a pod kit with SLT 20mg when out. Both Ohm Boy lines are available at VapeCity, so you're not restricted to one format.
We stock the Volume 2 100ml shortfill, the SLT V2 Cherry Ice, and the full SLT Bar Edition range. Volume 2 comes in packs of 5 for £35.99 (£7.19 per bottle). SLT 10ml nic salts from 10 for £7.99.

Ohm Boy is an award-winning UK e-liquid brand from Oxford, founded in 2017. They make botanical-inspired shortfills and nic salt e-liquids across their Volume 2 and SLT ranges. They won Best Up-and-Coming Brand at Vapor Expo UK in their first year and have remained independent since.
Volume 2 is a 100ml shortfill (0mg, 70VG/30PG) for sub-ohm kits and direct-lung vaping. SLT is Ohm Boy's 10ml nic salt range (50/50 VG/PG, 5mg/10mg/20mg) for pod kits and mouth-to-lung devices. Different devices, different formats.
The SLT Bar Edition is Ohm Boy's take on bar-vape-inspired flavours in a proper 10ml nic salt bottle. Flavours like Pink Lemonade Ice, Guava Mango Ice, Apple Blackcurrant Ice, Peach Passionfruit Ice and Blue Raspberry Lemonade Ice, all available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg, 50/50 VG/PG for pod kits.
Volume 2 shortfills are 0mg nicotine. They're designed to have a nic shot added: one 18mg shot in a 100ml shortfill (with room for 10ml) takes it to roughly 1.6mg; two shots take it to roughly 3mg. If you don't want nicotine, vape it as-is.
Yes. Ohm Boy comes from the Oxford Vapers group and is a UK-based e-liquid manufacturer, not an import rebranded for the UK market. They develop and blend their recipes domestically.
Volume 2 shortfills (70VG/30PG) are for sub-ohm kits, mods and direct-lung tanks. Ohm Boy SLT (50/50 VG/PG) works in most pod kits, starter kits and MTL devices. Do not use a 70VG liquid in a tight pod coil; it won't wick properly.
No. Ohm Boy SLT is designed for refillable pod kits and other open-system devices, not sealed disposables. But if you're currently on a disposable bar, the SLT Bar Edition flavours were specifically designed to replicate bar-vape flavour profiles in a refillable format.
Just Juice and Doozy are bigger brands with wider, more straightforward flavour portfolios and competitive pricing. Ohm Boy is smaller, more artisanal, and focuses on complex botanical blends. If you want simple and affordable, Just Juice or Doozy are the easier recommendation. If you want layered, unusual flavours, Ohm Boy earns the comparison.
