Five Pawns The Legacy Collection 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid

Description - Five Pawns The Legacy Collection 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid

The Five Pawns The Legacy Collection 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid is a curated collaboration between five distinct American vape juice sub-brands, brought together under the Five Pawns name. Each sub-brand contributes its own signature flavour identity, making this a collection rather than a generic multi-flavour range. Supplied in 120ml bottles containing 100ml of 0mg e-liquid, the format is designed for sub-ohm and RDL vapers who want to add their own nic shots and customise their nicotine level.

Ten flavours cover a wide spectrum, from buttery bakery profiles and creamy desserts through to bold, robust blends and a refined sweet black tea. If you have been vaping mainstream shortfill brands and want something with more considered depth, this collection is worth your attention.

Description

Five Pawns built its reputation in the American premium e-liquid market over years of producing complex, flavour-led liquids. The Legacy Collection brings that same approach to a single UK-available range, pooling the distinct characters of Vape Orenda, Poet, The Plume Room, Villain Vapors, and District One 21. The result is ten flavours that feel genuinely different from one another, rather than variations on the same base note.

Across the collection, inhale and exhale experiences vary considerably. The bakery warmth of Grandma's Lemon Cake and Banana Pudding sits at one end of the spectrum. At the other, COWBOY and Dillinger offer bolder, more robust profiles suited to vapers who want something with real presence. Salted Caramel lands in the middle ground, bringing a savoury-sweet complexity that goes beyond a flat caramel hit. The higher-VG options in the range (70/30) produce a noticeably denser, cloud-forward vape, which suits vapers who want flavour and vapour production together.

This collection is a strong pick for experienced vapers who want something genuinely different from the UK market standard. Five Pawns liquids are known for their layered profiles and the Legacy Collection reflects that. The range pairs with sub-ohm tanks and RDL setups, and adding two 18mg nic shots to the 100ml liquid fills the 120ml bottle to produce a finished nicotine strength of approximately 3mg.

Picking Between Similar Profiles

If you are torn between Salted Caramel and Dillinger, the key difference is complexity versus indulgence. Salted Caramel brings praline depth and a savoury salt edge. Dillinger leans into smooth caramel vanilla custard with a stronger, more straightforward sweetness. Both suit sub-ohm vaping at higher wattage thanks to their 70/30 VG/PG ratio.

VG/PG Ratios Explained

The Legacy Collection does not use a single VG/PG ratio across all flavours. Each sub-brand has its own blend, and the ratio you are buying directly affects which device will give you the best experience.

• 60/40 (Plume Room - Banana Pudding and Strawberries and Cream): A balanced ratio that suits restricted direct lung (RDL) setups. Delivers strong flavour with moderate vapour production. Works well in tanks running between 30W and 50W.
• 65/35 (Poet - Grandma's Lemon Cake and Sweet Black Tea): Slightly higher VG than a true 50/50, still well-suited to RDL vaping. Produces a smooth, flavour-forward vape without excessive cloud output.
• 70/30 (Villain Vapors - COWBOY and Dillinger, District One 21 - Salted Caramel and Black Water): Higher VG ratio designed for sub-ohm tanks running at higher wattage. Produces denser vapour and carries bold flavour profiles well. Not recommended for mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kits, as the thicker liquid can restrict wicking.

A quick note on terminology for newer vapers: MTL vaping means drawing vapour into the mouth before inhaling to the lungs, similar to how a cigarette is smoked. RDL (restricted direct lung) sits between MTL and a full direct lung inhale, offering a looser draw with more vapour. Sub-ohm refers to coils with a resistance below 1 ohm, used in tanks designed for direct lung vaping at higher power.

Bottle Size and Nicotine Strengths

• Bottle size: 100ml of e-liquid supplied in a 120ml bottle, leaving space for nicotine shots
• Nicotine strength as supplied: 0mg, nicotine-free and ready to use straight from the bottle
• Adding nicotine: Two 18mg nic shots added to the 100ml of liquid fills the bottle to 120ml and produces a finished nicotine strength of approximately 3mg
• TPD compliant: Yes. UK TPD regulations cap nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20mg in bottles up to 10ml. Shortfills are sold at 0mg to comply with this limit, with nic shots added separately by the customer.
• Nic shot type: A freebase nic shot keeps the throat hit consistent with the flavour profile. A 100VG nic shot is the best match for the Villain Vapors and District One 21 flavours (70/30) to avoid diluting the VG ratio too far.
• Nic shots included: No. Nic shots are purchased separately.
• Zero nicotine option: If you prefer a nicotine-free experience, the liquid is ready to vape at 0mg without adding anything.

Why Choose the Five Pawns Legacy Collection

Few shortfill ranges available in the UK draw on multiple established American sub-brands within a single collection. The Legacy Collection is structured around distinct brand identities rather than a single manufacturer producing ten variations on a theme. That distinction shows in the flavour output.

• Best compatible with: Sub-ohm tanks and RDL devices. Not suitable for MTL pod kits.
• Flavour complexity: Layered profiles with genuine depth, not one-note sweet blends.
• Vapour production: Moderate to dense cloud output depending on VG/PG ratio and device wattage.
• Variety: Ten flavours across five US sub-brands, covering bakery, caramel, creamy, bold, and tea profiles.
• Shortfill format: 100ml volume offers better value per ml than standard 10ml bottles.
• Customisable nicotine: Add your preferred nic shot strength to reach approximately 3mg in a 120ml finished bottle.
• All-day vaping options: Flavours like Sweet Black Tea and Strawberries and Cream suit extended all-day use without becoming overwhelming.
