Vape Club sent me over nine of these Yeti Summit Series Juices to try out and I’ve been having a go at them over the past week or so.
Yeti are a UK based juice manufacturer whom I’ve never seen before but a quick look at their own website lets me know that they produce several nicotine products. They have the original Yeti Juice, their own brand of disposables called Yeti Ice Cubes, nicotine pouches and the new Yeti Summit Series, of which I have been sent nine of the available fifteen flavours. The range is available in 5, 10 and 20mg nicotine salts.
Firstly, I like the look of the boxes. They’re the double sized ones, even though the bottles come normally, rather than packed in plastic like a lot of juice out there just now. I suppose the boxes are big to let the branding show better above the mandatory nicotine warnings, and the branding is all over the box, along with some other things printed on them to tempt you in like ‘Awaken your inner Yeti’ and ‘Brain freeze guaranteed’, along again with some text about Yetis. It’s all very on brand, and you can tell right away that these are going to be icy cold vapes.
Once you open the box, there’s the 10ml bottle inside, with an insert to tell you about the other flavours with a QR code to link to the company’s Instagram.
But away from the branding, it’s the flavours that caught my attention as some of the combinations are a bit different from the usual. They’re all fruity, which suits me perfectly, but flavours like honeydew blackcurrant ice, blueberry peach ice, and apricot watermelon ice are that little bit different for me, and as a DIY mixer myself, they had me a little intrigued as to how they’ll go together.
As always, with the juices being noted as nic salts and icy, I expected a level of sweetener as well to keep them in line with other nic salts available, so here we go with the tasting.
Cherry Ice
It’s coooooooold. My first experience with Yeti Juice and it lived up to what I was expecting. Very cold cooling that hits the throat, and then you get the flavour itself. It’s a nice cherry, kind of maraschino style sweet cherry with a touch of a fizz on it as well. The sweetener is not overdone, and it lifts the cherry flavour nicely to leave a great aftertaste as well.
Sour Grape
A cold grape that’s just a bit too dark and grapey for me personally, but that’s what it’s meant to be so you can ignore my opinion. There’s the slight dryness of a dark grape, and the sourness is there slightly so they’re not lying with the name. Overall, it’s a sugary sour grape and I’m told it is very nice, even though it’s not quite my taste.
Blueberry Peach Ice
The blueberry comes through first and then kind of clashes with the peach but the cold ice ties them together somehow. The dryness of the blueberry takes away from the freshness of the peach but in turn the peach flavour is strong enough to hold its own, and the aftertaste is lovely, making this combo work quite well. I wasn’t sure they went together at first, but Yeti have done a good job of balancing the two so that it does work out well.
Passionfruit Lychee Ice
I’ve tried to make this one myself in the past and it’s hard to find a lychee that isn’t pure perfume, perhaps I just overdo it. In this one there is that perfume, but it’s been managed by the sweet and tart passionfruit to make a nice tropical tasting vape that’s not too strong. It’s a nice vape, and the ice lifts it up well.
Pineapple Ice
I do love a pineapple juice. This one is a realistic but sweet pineapple that reminds me of tinned pineapple chunks or rings. You can taste the juice and the flesh of the fruit here so there’s a nice bit of depth going on. This simple juice makes me feel like Yeti have put a lot of thought into the range.
Honeydew Blackcurrant Ice
The lighter honeydew flavour is a touch hard to discern in amongst the strong ice effect but it’s there on the aftertaste and it juices up the blackcurrant fantastically. The blackcurrant is sweet and juicy, like the fruit itself. A winning combo that I was worried might not work but it really, really does.
Blue Raspberry Ice
A cracking blue raspberry. There are no off flavours, and it’s super fruity, just how I like a blue raspberry. The flavour explodes in your mouth and the combination of fruits and ice is perfect. There’s not much more I can say. It’s fantastic.
Watermelon Ice
There’s a bit of rind on the watermelon flavour but that just adds to the overall profile with this juice as it has a sweet watermelon flesh flavour to lift the very slight rindy note wonderfully. This one is also super cold, and it’s the first one that I feel could have done without the ice and let the flavour shine through, but that’s just my preference and if you’re into icy vapes then this will be delightful.
Apricot Watermelon Ice
This is a strange one, but I really like it. The sweet apricot mixing with the watermelon gave me an almost sweet tea kind of taste at first, but it’s really not that at all. Once the flavours kick in, it’s a great mix and they combine to create a different flavour all of its own. I love that in a juice, and this is the one that I didn’t like too much at first but has become a favourite.
Final Thoughts
Yeti have done a great job with these Summit flavours and it’s clear that they have thought long and hard about the ingredients they use and the combinations on some of them as there are some quite bold choices in the mixed ones. The ice is a bit much for me personally, but it’s on every puff and doesn’t fade as much as some others I’ve tried after a good few draws. The sweetener has also been thought about and doesn’t take away from the underlying flavours of the range either, and that works quite well for me.
You can buy the Yeti Summit range on Vape Club’s website and they’re £3.99 a bottle and they are also part of their brilliant 3 for £10 deal. Thanks again to Vape Club for sending the Yeti Summit range over to try out.
- The flavours are well thought out and mixed well
- Some different combinations of flavour
- Sweeteners are well used
- A touch too cold for me but others will love that, and the clue is in the name!

Reviewer at POTVI was a very militant smoker for many years…why would I stop doing the only thing I had left that I liked doing? Then I fell into vaping in 2017. My wife bought a cheap kit off from Amazon that stopped working and I took it to a local vape shop to see what they could do with it. An hour later and full of new knowledge about watts, ohms, and juice strength, I headed home with a new nautilus mini tank for her and raved to her about the helpful guy in the shop. I must have bored her with all my new found information. I tried her vape that night, and a week later bought my own kit. Then I found POTV and the amazingly helpful and generous people on it. A month later I was making my own (disgusting) vape juice, and a month after that I was winding coils for my new RDA. Six years on and I'm much better at making juice, and I now have no money but lots of shiny mods and tanks
