🍉 1. Fruity Favourites Take the Lead

🍬 2. Dessert & Candy Flavours Are Making a Comeback
Sweet-tooth vapers rejoice! In 2025, dessert and candy-inspired flavours are back in full force. Think creamy vanilla, donut glaze, cotton candy, and custard blends. These rich flavours are perfect for after-meal satisfaction or cozy evening vaping.
Popular dessert-style picks:
- BLVK Vanilla Custard
- Vapology Crème Donut
- Bar Shots Bubblegum Ice
Pro tip: Dessert flavours shine best with freebase e-liquid for thicker clouds and fuller taste.
🌿 3. Menthol & Ice Flavours Stay Strong
Menthol and cooling “ice” vapes aren’t going anywhere. They offer that crisp, clean hit many South African vapers crave — especially in warmer climates. Expect Blue Razz Ice and Mango Ice to remain top-sellers in 2025.
Hot trend: Hybrid flavours that mix fruity sweetness with icy freshness are dominating shelves.
- Vapengin Blue Razz Ice
- Nasty Bar Grape Ice
- Elfbar Peach Ice
🥭 4. Tropical Blends Inspired by the Islands
South Africans are loving exotic, sun-soaked blends — like pineapple, guava, lychee, and coconut. These tropical e-liquids bring beach vibes year-round and pair perfectly with nicotine salts for smooth satisfaction.
Best-selling tropical combos:
- Elfbar Guava Passionfruit
- Nasty Bar Pineapple Ice
- VooPoo Island Dream
Perfect for summer — or whenever you want to escape to paradise.
⚗️ 5. Nicotine Salts Dominate 2025
The move toward nicotine salts continues to reshape vaping in South Africa. They offer smoother hits and faster nicotine absorption, ideal for both new and experienced users. Expect to see most new flavour launches available in salt nic versions this year.
📈 6. Local South African Flavours Are on the Rise
Homegrown brands are stepping up with bold, unique blends that reflect local tastes — think rooibos, koeksister, and marula-inspired juices. Volcano Vapes proudly stocks select South African-made lines to support our local vape community.
🇿🇦 Look out for limited-edition flavours from Cape Town and Johannesburg-based mixologists throughout 2025.
💨 7. Smart Disposables & Hybrid Devices
The future of vaping is tech-driven. New smart disposables like the Oxbar GPrime 25K and Nasty Bar 9000 Puffs now include rechargeable batteries, airflow control, and upgraded mesh coils — extending lifespan and flavour consistency.
These innovations make vaping more eco-friendly and cost-effective over time.
