Compare Bar Series Nic Salt Mad Blue, Cherry Apple Fizz, and Lychee Ice on flavor, nicotine strength, and PG/VG ratio to pick the right bottle for your pod.
Quick answer
Choose Mad Blue for a berry mix at 20mg, Cherry Apple Fizz for a cherry-apple blend at 20mg, or Lychee Ice for lychee with menthol at 10mg. All three share a 50% PG / 38% VG / 12% water base, so your decision comes down to flavor profile and nicotine strength.
Flavor profiles: berry mix vs cherry-apple vs lychee-menthol
Mad Blue delivers a berry mix, which suits vapers who want a fruity all-day flavor without a cooling finish. Cherry Apple Fizz combines cherry and apple for a sweeter, orchard-fruit character. Lychee Ice pairs lychee with menthol, giving a cool exhale that stands apart from the other two.
None of the three is described as a tobacco or dessert flavor, so this comparison is really about which fruit direction you prefer. If you like a single clear fruit note, Lychee Ice is the most defined; if you want a blend, Cherry Apple Fizz or Mad Blue are the blended options.
Nicotine strength: 20mg vs 10mg changes the experience
Mad Blue and Cherry Apple Fizz are both 20mg/ml, while Lychee Ice is 10mg/ml. That difference matters more than flavor if you are switching from a higher-strength device or trying to step down. A 20mg salt gives a stronger throat hit and faster nicotine delivery; a 10mg salt is gentler and better for lower-tolerance vapers or those who vape frequently.
Because all three use the same PG/VG/water base, the throat hit difference comes primarily from nicotine strength, not from the carrier ratio. If you are unsure, start with the 10mg Lychee Ice to gauge tolerance, then move to a 20mg option if you need more.
The shared base: what 50% PG / 38% VG / 12% water means for your pod
All three liquids list propylene glycol (50%), vegetable glycerin (38%), demineralized water (12%), flavoring, and nicotine. That is a relatively high-PG, moderate-VG mix with water added to thin it slightly. In practice, this ratio works well in low-wattage pod systems and starter kits, where thicker high-VG liquids can struggle to wick.
The water content can also help reduce coil gunking compared with heavily sweetened high-VG juices, though no liquid is completely coil-friendly. If you use a sub-ohm tank at high wattage, this ratio may be too thin and prone to leaking; it is best suited to mouth-to-lung pods.
Price and value: catalog comparison prices
At the time of writing, the catalog lists Cherry Apple Fizz at USD 3.83 (compared to USD 6.39), Mad Blue at USD 4.66 (compared to USD 6.39), and Lychee Ice at USD 4.03 (compared to USD 6.39). All are 10ml bottles, so the price per ml is similar, but Cherry Apple Fizz is the lowest upfront cost among the three.
Price should not be the only factor: if you dislike menthol, Lychee Ice at any price will not suit you. Use the comparison price as a tiebreaker only after flavor and strength match your needs.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Flavor boldness vs cooling sensation: Mad Blue and Cherry Apple Fizz are fruit-only blends with no menthol, so they deliver sweetness without a chill. Lychee Ice adds menthol, which can mute the fruit slightly but provides a cooling finish. If you want pure fruit, pick one of the first two; if you want a cool exhale, pick Lychee Ice. Decide whether you want menthol before comparing fruit notes.
- Higher nicotine vs lower nicotine: 20mg (Mad Blue, Cherry Apple Fizz) gives a stronger hit and faster satisfaction; 10mg (Lychee Ice) is gentler and better for frequent vaping or lower tolerance. There is no 10mg version of Mad Blue or Cherry Apple Fizz in the supplied catalog, and no 20mg Lychee Ice, so strength is fixed per flavor. If you need 10mg, your only option here is Lychee Ice; if you need 20mg, choose between the two fruit blends.
- Pod compatibility vs high-wattage use: The 50% PG / 38% VG / 12% water base is thin and wicks well in low-power pods, but may leak or spit in sub-ohm tanks at high wattage. Use these liquids in mouth-to-lung or low-wattage pod systems for the best experience. Check your device before buying: these are not ideal for high-VG sub-ohm setups.
