What Makes a Vape Suitable for All-Day Use?

When browsing e-liquids, you’ll often come across the description "All Day Vape" or "ADV". This term has become popular in recent years and simply refers to an e-liquid that can be vaped comfortably all day without getting bored or experiencing discomfort.

But what exactly are the qualities that make an e-liquid suitable for all-day use? And what are the best e-liquids for this purpose?

Keep reading to discover everything you need to know about ADV.

What is the Definition of an All Day Vape?

An All Day Vape refers to an e-liquid that can be used comfortably throughout the day. This term is not tied to any specific amount, flavor, or nicotine strength—it’s a personal choice that varies from one vaper to another. That’s why vapers often disagree on whether a particular e-liquid qualifies as an all-day vape or not.

What Are the Criteria for an All Day Vape?

While the criteria for an All Day Vape differ from person to person, there are some common traits that make an e-liquid more suitable for long-term, everyday use:

• Low nicotine strength so it can be vaped throughout the day without discomfort, excessive nicotine intake, or an irritating throat hit.
• Balanced or light flavor that isn’t overwhelmingly strong—often fruit or menthol-based flavors work best.
• Natural and pleasant taste with no artificial or unpleasant aftertaste.
• Moderate vapor production that isn’t too dense or overwhelming.

What Are the Best E-Liquids for All-Day Vaping?

As mentioned earlier, an All Day Vape is different for everyone, so no one can define the “perfect” choice for you.

However, if you need some inspiration, here are a few of our favorite e-liquids that we can comfortably enjoy all day long.

Ruby (Gems Collection)

One of our top all-day vape picks, Ruby is one of the best-selling e-liquids from the Dr Vapes Gems Collection. This fruity blend is packed with fresh, ripe strawberries that deliver sweet notes with a slight tart edge, creating the perfect balance.

Ruby is available as a shortfill, which can be enjoyed nicotine-free or combined with a nicotine shot to reach your ideal strength. We also offer a nicotine salt version in a 10ml bottle—perfect for vapers who prefer a smooth throat hit and rapid nicotine delivery. Available in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg nicotine strengths, Ruby Nic Salt is an excellent all-day vape choice.

Purple Panther

Another popular all-day vape is "Purple" from the Dr Vapes Panther Series. Purple is a stunning grape blend that combines white grapes, red grapes, and Concord grapes for a complete fruity vape experience.

Why does this make a great all-day option? Simply because it’s perfectly balanced, meaning you’re less likely to get bored of it. The trio of grapes offers a fragrant, sweet, and slightly tart taste that makes every inhale and exhale enjoyable. If you think grape will get boring, think again—this blend may seem simple but has enough complexity to remain exciting all day long.

In addition, Purple can be enjoyed as a nicotine-free shortfill (we recommend adding a nic salt shot if you’d like nicotine) or as a nicotine salt in 10mg or 20mg premium nic salt blends in a 10ml bottle.

Pink Ice (Pink Series)

The Pink Series by Dr Vapes offers incredible flavors like fruity blackcurrant, cotton candy, pina colada, and more. We love them all as all-day vape options, but if you’re after something lighter, Pink Ice is the perfect choice.

Pink Ice blends sweet and juicy blackcurrant with a refreshing menthol exhale, making it a perfectly balanced vape for all-day use. The cooling menthol keeps things fresh, while the fruity sweetness rounds out the experience.

Available in 10mg and 20mg nicotine salts, this e-liquid is ideal for pods or vape pens. It’s also available as a 100ml shortfill, making it a long-lasting and cost-effective choice. Add a nic shot if desired and enjoy a fantastic ADV experience.

How Do I Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for My E-Liquid?

For an ideal all-day vape, you’ll need the right nicotine level for your needs—but how do you figure that out?

We’ve written a comprehensive guide to choosing nicotine strength that covers everything in detail.

If you’d prefer quick answers, here’s a summary to help ex-smokers understand e-liquid nicotine strengths:

0mg = Best for non-smokers, those who’ve already reduced nicotine intake, or sub-ohm vapers who enjoy nicotine-free clouds.

3mg-6mg = Low nicotine, suitable for light smokers who only had a few cigarettes a day.

12mg = Medium nicotine, great for smokers who used to smoke 15–20 cigarettes a day.

18mg-20mg = High nicotine, ideal for heavy smokers who consumed over 20 cigarettes daily.

Finding your perfect nicotine level may take time, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right immediately. Every vaper is different—you might discover you need more or less nicotine than expected, and that’s completely normal.

When selecting an all-day vape, ensure the nicotine level is low enough to let you enjoy multiple puffs without feeling overwhelmed.

Final Thoughts

Vaping is a highly personal experience, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why there isn’t a single perfect all-day vape for everyone—just a wide variety of flavors to suit different tastes.

At Dr Vapes, we aim to offer something for everyone. That’s why we’ve created a wide range of e-liquids inspired by fruits, desserts, drinks, and even tobacco. Whether you prefer high-VG shortfills, silky-smooth 10ml nic salts, or freebase blends (not currently available in the UK/EU), you’ll find something to match your style.
