Seriously Soda Shortfill E-Liquid By Doozy

Doozy built its name on fruit menthols, but Seriously Soda Shortfill E-Liquid By Doozy is the range that leans into fizzy drinks instead. Every flavour is built to feel carbonated on the exhale rather than just sweet, which is a harder thing to fake in an e-liquid than it sounds. If you've tried soda-style juices before and found them either sickly or watery, this range sits closer to the middle: recognisable soda character without the syrupy aftertaste that ruins an all-day vape.

It's sold as a shortfill, so the 100ml (or equivalent size) bottle you buy from PinkVape is filled short of the cap to leave room for nicotine shots. On its own the bottle is 0mg nicotine, it contains no nicotine at all until you add a shot, and it's labelled clearly as such. That makes it a genuine option for anyone vaping flavour-only, as well as the standard base for adults who want to mix their own strength.

The flavour range

Seriously Soda Shortfill By Doozy comes in seven flavours, and they split roughly into two camps: bright fruit sodas and deeper mixed-fruit blends.

• Ayn Tru, Doozy's take on a cream soda-adjacent fruit fizz; softer and rounder than the citrus-forward flavours in the range, good as a first pick if you're not sure where to start.
• Blue Razz Lemonade, blue raspberry cut with a sharp lemonade fizz. Tart on the inhale, sweeter on the exhale. This is usually the one people reach for again.
• Blue Wing, a mixed blue-fruit soda without the sharp lemonade edge, so it reads slightly smoother and less acidic on an all-day setup.
• Fruity Fusion, several fruits layered into one soda base rather than a single dominant note. If you like flavour complexity over a single loud fruit, start here.
• Guava Passion, tropical rather than classic soda, guava and passion fruit given the same fizzy treatment as the rest of the line.
• True Mix, another multi-fruit blend, positioned as an everyday option rather than anything too niche.
• Tropical Twist, mixed tropical fruit with the same soda fizz running through it; a reasonable middle ground between Guava Passion and the berry flavours.

None of these are menthol or ice flavours. If you want cold soda rather than fizzy-warm soda, that's worth knowing before you order, since Doozy keeps its ice ranges separate.

Setting it up without ruining the flavour

Soda and fizzy-fruit e-liquids are more sensitive to a burnt or muted taste than dessert or tobacco flavours, mainly because the top notes that make them taste "carbonated" are the first thing to disappear when a coil is run too hot or too dry. A few things make a real difference:

• Prime new coils properly. Drip a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the coil and let the tank sit for five to ten minutes before the first vape. Skipping this is the single most common cause of a burnt first hit.
• Don't chain vape a fresh coil. Take a few short, spaced-out puffs for the first tank rather than long draws back to back, so the wick has time to fully saturate.
• Match the wattage to the coil, not the flavour. Running above the coil's rated range burns the wicking material and mutes the fizzy top notes fast, soda flavours go flat and slightly bitter well before other profiles do.
• Keep the tank topped up. Vaping on a low tank dries the wick out and is the fastest route to a scorched, muted taste with any shortfill.
• Rinse or swap the coil between very different flavours. Switching from something heavy like a dessert liquid into Blue Razz Lemonade without a clean coil will carry old flavour through and dull the soda character.

Because this is a shortfill rather than a disposable, it's built for sub-ohm or higher-VG tanks and refillable pod kits rather than tight, mouth-to-lung nic salt devices, pair it with a device suited to shortfill e-liquid rather than a closed pod system for the best result.

Nicotine strength: how to add a shot

Since the bottle ships at 0mg, you choose your own strength using nicotine shots (typically 18mg 10ml shots, sold separately). Under UK TPD regulations, nicotine e-liquid is capped at a maximum strength of 20mg/ml (2%), and that cap applies once you've added your shot(s), not to the shortfill bottle itself.

• Adding one 18mg shot to 100ml of shortfill liquid gives roughly 3mg/ml, a low strength suited to heavier vapers or those who've mostly stepped down from smoking.
• Adding two shots to 100ml lands around 6mg/ml, a common mid-range strength for regular use.
• Going beyond the ratios Doozy specifies on the shot packaging risks pushing past the legal 20mg/ml limit and isn't something we'd recommend, always follow the mixing ratio printed on the nicotine shot itself.

If you'd rather skip the maths entirely, buying it as 0mg and vaping it flavour-only is completely valid too, plenty of people use shortfills purely for the taste with no nicotine involved.

Who this suits

Seriously Soda Shortfill By Doozy is aimed at vapers who already run a refillable tank or pod system and want a genuine soda profile rather than a generic "fizzy" flavour that's really just sweetened fruit. It suits:

• Vapers who found other soda-flavoured liquids either too sugary or too thin-tasting.
• Anyone mixing their own nicotine strength who wants control over exactly how strong their vape is, rather than a fixed disposable strength.
• Flavour-only vapers who want the 0mg option without hunting for a separate nicotine-free range.
• People who rotate flavours across the week rather than sticking to one, with seven options in the line, there's enough variety to not get bored on a single bottle.

It's less suited to anyone wanting menthol or ice on the exhale, or vapers using tight-draw pod systems designed specifically for nic salts rather than shortfills.

How it compares to other soda-style shortfills

Most soda ranges on the market lean one of two ways: either heavily artificial and one-note (usually just a generic "cola" or "cherry fizz" flavour repeated with small tweaks), or so subtle they taste closer to plain fruit than anything carbonated. Doozy's Seriously Soda line sits in between, the fizz character is present across all seven flavours without drowning out the fruit base underneath. Compared to Doozy's own nic salt version of Seriously Soda, the shortfill format gives you a larger bottle, no fixed nicotine strength, and lower cost per ml if you already have shots on hand, better suited to daily tank use than the smaller nic salt bottles built for pod systems.

Care and storage

• Store the bottle upright, away from direct sunlight and away from radiators or car dashboards, heat degrades flavour and nicotine faster than most people expect.
• Keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times; the childproof cap is there for a reason, even on a 0mg bottle.
• Once you've added a nicotine shot, use the liquid within a reasonable time. Mixed e-liquid doesn't keep indefinitely the way an unopened bottle does, and flavour can fade over several months even when nicotine is fine.
• Give the bottle a shake before each refill, particularly after it's been sitting for a while, to keep the mix consistent from first fill to last.

FAQ

Does Seriously Soda Shortfill contain nicotine?

No. As sold, the shortfill bottle contains 0mg nicotine. You only get nicotine in it if you add a nicotine shot yourself.

What device does this work best in?

A sub-ohm tank or refillable pod kit designed for shortfill e-liquid. It's not intended for tight mouth-to-lung nic salt pod systems.

Why does my vape taste burnt even though the bottle is full?

Usually a coil issue rather than a liquid issue, either it wasn't primed properly before first use, or it's been run at too high a wattage for its rating. Try a fresh, properly primed coil at the manufacturer's recommended wattage before assuming the flavour is at fault.

Which flavour should I try first?

Blue Razz Lemonade is the closest to a classic soda pop flavour and the easiest reference point. If you prefer something smoother and less tart, Ayn Tru or Blue Wing are gentler starting points.

Can I mix flavours from this range in the same tank?

You can, but rinse the coil first if you're switching between very different profiles, otherwise the old flavour will linger and dull the new one.

Is this suitable for under-18s?

No. All e-liquids and vaping products sold on PinkVape, including 0mg options, are restricted to adults aged 18 and over in line with UK law.
