Seriously Nice Shortfill E-Liquid By Doozy – Ice n Berg

Ice N Berg by Seriously Nice: berries under a sheet of frost

The name does most of the talking, but Ice N Berg still surprises people. This is Doozy taking a ripe mixed-berry base and burying it under a heavy, glacial menthol, so the fruit arrives cold and the cold arrives fruity. It is one of the more committed ice liquids in the Seriously Nice range, and it is aimed squarely at vapers who think most menthol blends do not go far enough. If you have ever wished a berry vape hit like biting into frozen fruit straight from the freezer drawer, this is the profile built for you.

As a 70/30 shortfill it produces a dense, cool vapour that carries the chill deep into the throat. The higher VG content is doing something clever here. It gives the sharp menthol a smooth, thick vehicle to ride on, so the ice feels clean and full rather than thin and scratchy. That is the difference between a well-made freeze liquid and a harsh one.

Walking through the flavour

The inhale opens cold. Before you can pick out any single berry, the menthol announces itself and floods the front of the mouth with a crisp, frosted rush. It is not medicinal or minty in a toothpaste sense. It is the clean, glassy cold of an iceberg, which is clearly what Doozy were chasing with the name. That first hit alone will wake you up on a dull morning.

As you draw, the berries push up through the frost. It is a mixed-berry medley rather than a single fruit, so you get the deep sweetness of blackberry and blueberry with a brighter, jammier note that reads as strawberry or raspberry sitting on top. The clever part is that the cold does not flatten the fruit. The berries stay dark and syrupy in the mid-vape, almost like fruit compote that has been chilled, and the two sensations run alongside each other instead of one masking the other.

On the exhale the ice takes over again and scrubs the palate clean. This is a long, cooling finish that lingers in the throat and on the lips, with just enough berry sweetness left behind to stop it feeling stark. The aftertaste is refreshing and slightly sweet, the kind that makes your next breath of ordinary air feel cool too. If you love that lingering menthol tingle, Ice N Berg delivers it in full.

Who it is for and the moods it fits

This is a liquid for dedicated menthol and ice lovers first, and berry fans second. If you already reach for the coldest option on any shelf, you will feel right at home. If you are lukewarm on menthol, be honest with yourself, because the freeze here is front and centre and it does not soften much through the day.

• A brilliant morning vape, sharp enough to feel like a cold splash of water to the face.
• A palate cleanser after meals, especially heavy or rich food, where the ice cuts straight through.
• A gym-bag and commute choice, because that clean cold feeling suits movement, fresh air, and hot weather.

The mood it matches is alert and no-nonsense. It is not a cosy evening flavour or a slow, contemplative one. It is bracing, and that is exactly its appeal. On a grey British morning it can genuinely lift you.

How it stacks up and what to rotate with

Compared with a gentle menthol or a fruit with just a hint of cool, Ice N Berg is in a heavier weight class. It is closer to a dedicated freeze liquid than to a fruit that happens to be iced. Against a plain menthol it has far more character, because the berry compote gives the cold something sweet and dark to contrast with. Against a warmer, non-iced berry liquid it is a completely different experience, all crispness and snap where the warm version is soft and jammy.

Because the menthol is so dominant, your palate can start to normalise the cold if you vape it non-stop, which ironically makes the ice feel weaker over time. The fix is rotation. Pair Ice N Berg with something warm and rounded for variety, a custard, a tobacco, or a non-iced fruit, so that when you come back to the freeze it hits with full force again. If you want to stay in the cold lane, alternate it with a citrus ice or a pure menthol so the specific berry note stays distinct and does not blur into every other freeze in your collection.

Practical notes for the best results

Menthol-forward liquids reward a clean setup. A fresh coil makes a real difference here, because a worn wick dulls the berries first and leaves you with mostly ice. Shake the bottle well after adding any nicotine shots so the cold is evenly distributed and you are not getting a weak fill followed by a strong one. Let a new tank sit for a few minutes before you start so the first pulls are not thin.

Ice N Berg is at its best cold, so if you have somewhere cool to keep the bottle in summer, the chill reads even crisper. It does not need long steeping, though a day or two settling in a dark cupboard helps the berry blend feel more rounded under the menthol. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which can dull the top notes, and seal the cap tightly since menthol character can fade in a bottle left open. Lower wattages tend to sharpen the ice, while higher wattages bring the darker berries forward, so nudge your settings to taste.

Value and who should give it a miss

As a shortfill this is an economical way to keep a strong ice flavour on hand, and because the profile is so distinct it works well as the bold option in a rotation rather than a background all-day vape. The people who should skip it are easy to name. If menthol makes you cough or you find any cooling agent unpleasant, this will not convert you. If you want the berries to be the star and the ice to be a whisper, look at a warmer berry liquid instead, because here the iceberg wins.

Ice N Berg FAQ

How cold is it really?

Very. This is one for people who like a strong freeze. The menthol leads the inhale and lingers well past the exhale, giving that lasting cold tingle in the throat and on the lips. If you find most iced liquids too mild, this should finally satisfy you.

Can I still taste the berries under all that ice?

Yes, and that is the point of the blend. The mixed-berry base stays dark and sweet through the mid-vape, sitting like chilled compote beneath the frost. The cold frames the fruit rather than erasing it, which is why it does not taste like plain menthol.

Is it too much for a first iced liquid?

It can be if you are new to menthol. Someone stepping up from fruit flavours might find the freeze intense at first. If you already enjoy cool vapes and want to go colder, it is a natural next step. Ease in with a lower wattage to keep the ice comfortable.
