Kingston 70/30 Shortfill Flavour Guide: Which Flavour Should You Choose?

Kingston has built a strong reputation for its fruit-focused e-liquids, and the original 70/30 shortfill range brings together some of the brand's most recognisable flavour combinations. From rich, dark fruit blends to sweeter berries and tangy tropical notes, each flavour offers something slightly different.

If you're deciding which Kingston shortfill 70/30 flavour to try next, this guide explores all seven options available at UK Vape Supply, including their main flavour notes and how they compare.

Kingston 70/30 Flavours at a Glance

All seven flavours are available as 100ml nicotine-free shortfills with a 70VG/30PG ratio, designed for use with compatible sub-ohm vaping equipment.

Exploring the Kingston 70/30 Flavour Range

Kingston Black A

Black A is one of the richer options in the Kingston 70/30 collection, combining dark fruit notes with a bold, sweet finish. Rather than concentrating on the bright, sharp flavours found in some fruit e-liquids, Black A offers a deeper fruit profile.

It's a good option if you tend to prefer darker fruit blends over lighter, tropical combinations. The sweetness is prominent, but the overall character comes from the richness of the fruit rather than a candy-style finish.

Flavour notes: Dark fruits, rich sweetness, bold finish.

Kingston Chuckleberry

Chuckleberry brings together mixed berry flavours with a juicy sweetness and a lively fruity character. It's one of the more straightforward options in the range, making it appealing if you enjoy familiar berry combinations.

Compared with Zingberry, which has a more noticeable sweet-and-tart balance, Chuckleberry leans towards a sweeter, juicier profile. This makes it worth considering if you prefer fruit flavours without too much sharpness.

Flavour notes: Mixed berries, juicy fruit, sweet finish.

Kingston Grape Zingberry

Grape Zingberry combines the rounded sweetness of ripe grape with the sharper notes of Kingston's Zingberry-style berry blend. The grape provides a familiar fruity base, while the tangy berry notes add contrast and prevent the combination from feeling too one-dimensional.

If you enjoy grape e-liquids but want something with a little more variation, Grape Zingberry is an interesting alternative to a straightforward grape flavour.

Flavour notes: Ripe grape, tangy berries, sweet-and-sharp finish.

Kingston Pinkerton

Pinkerton takes a sweeter approach, combining fruity notes with a bright, candy-inspired finish. It sits somewhere between a traditional fruit e-liquid and a confectionery-style blend.

Unlike Black A or Red A, which concentrate on richer fruit flavours, Pinkerton has a lighter, more playful character. It's worth exploring if you enjoy sweet fruit combinations with a noticeable candy-style twist.

Flavour notes: Mixed fruit, candy-style sweetness, bright finish.

Kingston Red A

Red A offers a rich red fruit blend with a deep, sweet finish. It's another of Kingston's fuller-bodied fruit profiles, making it a natural choice for customers who enjoy bold fruit flavours.

While Black A concentrates on darker fruit notes, Red A has a distinctly red fruit character. Both offer plenty of sweetness, but their different fruit profiles give customers a useful choice within the richer end of the range.

Flavour notes: Red fruits, rich sweetness, full fruity finish.

Kingston Strawberry Kiwi Zingberry

Strawberry Kiwi Zingberry brings together three complementary flavour elements: sweet strawberry, sharp kiwi and a tangy mixed berry finish. The strawberry provides the sweeter foundation, while the kiwi adds a sharper fruit note. Kingston's Zingberry element brings additional tanginess, creating one of the more varied combinations in the collection.

This is a good option if you enjoy fruit e-liquids that combine sweetness with a little acidity rather than relying on one dominant flavour.

Flavour notes: Sweet strawberry, sharp kiwi, tangy berries.

Kingston Zingberry

Zingberry is one of the signature flavours in Kingston's 70/30 range, built around a mixed berry combination with a balance of sweetness and tartness.

Unlike Chuckleberry's sweeter profile, Zingberry introduces a sharper edge that gives the flavour a more pronounced contrast. It's a relatively simple concept, but the combination of sweet and tangy berry notes makes it distinctive.

If you enjoy mixed berry e-liquids but prefer something less overtly sweet, Zingberry is a sensible place to start.

Flavour notes: Mixed berries, fruity sweetness, tart finish.

Which Kingston 70/30 Flavour Is Right for You?

With seven fruit-focused options, choosing between Kingston's original shortfills largely comes down to the balance of sweetness, richness and tanginess you prefer.

For richer fruit flavours: Black A and Red A offer deeper, sweeter fruit profiles.

For sweet mixed berries: Chuckleberry provides a juicy berry combination without the sharper character of Zingberry.

For a tangier finish: Zingberry and Grape Zingberry balance fruity sweetness with more noticeable tartness.

For something sweeter: Pinkerton offers a candy-inspired alternative to traditional fruit blends.

For a more varied fruit combination: Strawberry Kiwi Zingberry brings together sweet strawberry, sharp kiwi and tangy berries.

There's no single best Kingston flavour for everyone. If you already enjoy mixed berries, Chuckleberry and Zingberry are useful starting points, while Black A and Red A may appeal more if you prefer richer fruit combinations.

What Makes Kingston 70/30 Shortfills Different?

The original Kingston 70/30 collection is designed for customers who enjoy high VG e-liquids and use compatible sub-ohm vaping equipment.

Each flavour shares the same core specifications:

• 100ml Shortfill: Supplied as 100ml of nicotine-free e-liquid.

• 70VG/30PG Ratio: A high VG formulation intended for compatible sub-ohm devices.

• DTL Vaping: Suitable for appropriate direct-to-lung vape kits, tanks and coils.

• UK Manufacturing: Kingston e-liquids are manufactured in the UK.

• Nicotine-Free Base: Nicotine shots can be added where the bottle has sufficient capacity.

The higher VG content makes these e-liquids thicker than standard 50/50 blends, so it's important to use equipment designed to handle high VG liquids.
