Vape juice in Canada comes in two chemistries — salt nicotine for low-wattage pod kits and freebase for higher-wattage tanks — capped federally at 20 mg/mL. Supa Vapes stocks 200+ e-liquids across both types. This guide explains which one your device needs, what strengths mean, and what a bottle actually costs in Canada now.

What types of vape juice can you buy in Canada?

Canadian vape juice splits into salt nicotine (smoother at higher strengths, made for pod systems) and freebase nicotine (made for sub-ohm tanks and lower strengths). Both are sold in child-resistant bottles under federal packaging rules, and both are capped at 20 mg/mL nicotine.

Everything we stock lives in three collections: salt nicotine e-juice, freebase e-juice, and the full all e-juice range.

Salt nic vs freebase — what's the difference?

Salt nicotine is nicotine bonded with an acid, which lets higher strengths (10–20 mg/mL) vapourize smoothly at low wattage. Freebase is the unmodified form — typically 0–12 mg/mL — that performs best in higher-wattage, higher-airflow setups. The right choice is decided by your device, not by preference.

Salt nicotine Freebase
Typical strengths 10–20 mg/mL 0–12 mg/mL
Device match Pod kits, MTL devices (Caliburn, XROS, XLIM) Sub-ohm tanks, higher-wattage mods
Draw style Mouth-to-lung, cigarette-like draw Direct-lung, more vapour
Bottle sizes we carry 30 mL / 60 mL 60 mL and up

One rule covers 90% of cases: pod kit → salt nic; sub-ohm tank → freebase. Not sure which coil family your device uses? Our vape coil guide explains resistance and wattage matching.

What nicotine strength should you choose?

Canadian law caps all consumer vape juice at 20 mg/mL under the Nicotine Concentration in Vaping Products Regulations. Within that cap, adult vapers generally match strength to their previous smoking pattern and their device: higher-strength salt nic in small pod kits, lower-strength freebase in airier tanks.

Strength labels are standardized — the number is milligrams of nicotine per millilitre. A 30 mL bottle at 20 mg/mL contains 600 mg of nicotine in total, which is why federal rules require child-resistant packaging on every bottle sold (Vaping Products Labelling and Packaging Regulations, SOR/2019-353).

How much does vape juice cost in Canada?

Since the federal vaping excise duty took effect in October 2022 — with an additional matching Ontario duty stacked on top since July 2024 — e-liquid prices in Ontario include a significant per-millilitre tax component, which rises with bottle size (CRA, Excise Duty Framework for Vaping Products). Larger bottles still cost less per millilitre than small ones.

As a live example from our shelf: Flavour Beast Gushin Salt (60 mL) — the bottled version of the bestselling Gushin disposable flavours — is $52.49 with all duties in.

Stocking up is the practical lever: multi-bottle purchases qualify for our e-juice mix & match deal.

Which vape juice brands does Supa Vapes carry?

Current shelf highlights: Flavour Beast e-liquid (bottled versions of their disposable flavours), Dr Fog, the Drop family (Apple Drop, Lemon Drop, Berry Drop), Banana Bang, Don Cristo (tobacco profiles), Montreal Original, and Salt Nix — 200+ SKUs across fruit, mint, dessert and tobacco profiles, in both chemistries.

Is 0 mg vape juice a thing?

Yes — freebase lines commonly offer 0 mg versions of the same flavours, and they're exempt from the nicotine-linked rules that apply to nicotine-bearing liquid (though age restrictions on vaping products still apply). We cover the 0 mg category — devices and juice — in our nicotine-free vaping guide.

FAQ

Can I put freebase juice in a pod kit?

Mechanically yes, and low-strength freebase works in many looser pod kits — but high-strength salt nic in a sub-ohm tank is the combination to avoid: sub-ohm coils vapourize far more liquid per puff, multiplying nicotine delivery beyond what the juice was designed for.

Why did vape juice get more expensive in Ontario?

Two stacked excise duties: the federal vaping duty (October 2022) and Ontario's matching provincial duty (July 2024), both charged per millilitre. The duty structure means tax is a larger share of the price on e-liquid than it used to be. Bottles sold legally carry an excise stamp.

How long does a 30 mL bottle last?

Depends entirely on device and usage: a low-wattage pod kit sipping 1–2 mL a day stretches a 30 mL bottle over two to four weeks; a sub-ohm tank can go through the same bottle in under a week. Refillable setups still typically cost less per week than disposables.

Does vape juice expire?

E-liquid doesn't carry a federal mandated expiry, but manufacturers generally indicate best-by periods of one to two years. Store bottles cool, sealed, and out of sunlight; nicotine oxidizes and darkens with heat and air exposure.

Salt nic for pods, freebase for tanks, 20 mg/mL as the legal ceiling — that's the Canadian e-liquid market in one line. The collections above are updated as new lines land, and this guide will be refreshed as duties or regulations change.
