Alternativ E-Juice – Sweet Fruit & Menthol Vape Flavours (Review)

Alternativ E-Juice is a line of fruit-and-candy flavoured vape juices made by Marina Vape. The collection (available here) features five main 100 mL shortfill bottles – Alpha, Beta, Delta, Iota, and Omega – each blending sweet fruit candy profiles with a hint of menthol. These e-liquids use high-quality, food-grade ingredients and a 70% VG/30% PG ratio for big clouds and a smooth throat hit. Nicotine strengths of 0mg, 3mg, and 6mg let vapers tailor their experience. Altogether, the Alternativ collection offers bold, refreshing flavours that appeal to fruit candy enthusiasts and menthol fans, making them great all-day vapes for cloud-chasers and flavour-lovers alike.

About the Alternativ E-Juice Brand

Alternativ E-Juice is a sub-brand created by Marina Vape, a well-known California-based e-liquid company famous for award-winning flavors like Alpha, Aqua, and Donuts. Alternativ’s products are described as “bright, bold flavors” with candy inspirations and subtle menthol coolness. The brand prides itself on using the highest-quality food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, all sourced in the USA. Each batch is carefully crafted in Marina Vape’s LA facility, so fans can expect consistent taste and purity. In short, Alternativ blends candy-sweet fruit notes with a touch of mint to deliver a premium, U.S.-made e-liquid that’s “ideal for daily use”.

Popular Flavours in the Alternativ Collection

The Alternativ collection includes five signature 100 mL shortfill flavours. Each is fruit-forward, candy-inspired, and finishes with a cool menthol note. The five flavours are:

• Alpha (Apple Grape) – A mix of crisp green apples and sweet grape candy, with a hint of menthol. This combination makes a juicy, slightly tart profile perfect for those who enjoy classic fruit candies.
• Beta (Apple Peach) – A blend of tart green apple and peach ring candy, balanced with a cooling menthol. Beta is like biting into a peach-flavoured gummy with apple freshness on the exhale.
• Delta (Watermelon Strawberry) – A refreshing fusion of ripe watermelon and strawberries, with a subtle menthol breeze. This flavour offers a juicy summer fruit medley that finishes smooth and cool.
• Iota (Peach Mango) – A sweet mix of peachy gummy candy and ripe tropical mango, capped by a light menthol note. Iota tastes like a peach candy and mango smoothie hybrid.
• Omega (Pineapple Lemonade) – Combines tangy lemonade and juicy pineapple with a touch of mint. Omega is like sipping an iced pineapple lemonade: sweet, citrusy, and refreshingly minty.

Each flavour delivers the fruit + candy + menthol combination that Alternativ is known for. The menthol is always mild, providing a cool finish without overpowering the fruit. Because all five flavours share a similar VG/PG mix and nicotine options, vapers can expect consistent cloud production and hit across the line.

Ingredients and Nicotine Options

Alternativ e-liquids use a 70% VG / 30% PG base. This high-VG formula creates thick vapor clouds and a smooth inhale. Flavourings are “food-grade” and made in the U.S., so you’re getting clean, top-quality ingredients. There are no added sugars or calories—just pure flavour in each puff. Nicotine strengths available are 0mg (nicotine-free), 3mg, and 6mg. This range fits most vapers: 0mg for flavour-only vaping, 3mg for a light nicotine kick, and 6mg for a stronger hit (often chosen by ex-smokers or heavier vapers). Because the bottles are 100 mL shortfills, remember to add your own nic base if you want a strength above 6mg.

Who Is Alternativ E-Juice For?

Alternativ is ideal for vapers who love fruit and candy flavors with a menthol twist. If you enjoy sweet, dessert-like e-juices or are looking for a cool vaping experience, this line has something for you. The candy-inspired blends make it a hit with “candy lovers” and those who want an indulgent taste without the sugar. The 70/30 VG/PG ratio means big clouds and a gentle throat hit, so cloud-chasers and flavour enthusiasts will appreciate it. Because the flavours are well-balanced (fruit, candy, and mint), Alternativ juices work well as all-day vapes – they stay tasty over many puffs without getting overwhelming.

However, new vapers should note the VG is fairly high, which requires a device with a decent tank and coil to handle the thick liquid. Beginners might want to start with a balanced 50/50 e-liquid before jumping to 70/30, but most experienced users enjoy 70/30 for its smoothness and vapor. Also, if you are sensitive to menthol or strong throat hits, try a lower nicotine (or 0mg) version first.

Buying Tips and Restrictions

Bottle size & price: All Alternativ e-juices come in 100 mL bottles, which is larger than the common 60 mL. This means more e-liquid for your money, making them popular among regular vapers. On many vape shops, Alternativ shortfills range around $10–$20 USD for 100 mL (around £8–£16) per bottle, depending on sales and region. For example, the Omega and Delta flavours are listed “from $11.99” each. Deals or discount bundles are often available at retailers.

Nicotine: Since these are shortfills, they usually ship nicotine-free. You add your own nic shot to reach the desired strength (0–3–6mg). Many sellers include instructions for mixing properly.

Shipping & Age: U.S. retailers often ship Alternativ bottles nationwide. Some stores (like the one above) offer free shipping on orders over $100. Legal age restrictions apply: in the U.S. you must be 21+ to buy (see the age-gate note on the store). In the UK and EU, the legal vaping age is 18. (This means customers must verify their age during checkout.)

Authenticity: Buy from reputable shops or official distributors only. Because Marina Vape is a known brand, there can be fakes. Look for genuine packaging and check that the vendor is authorised. The above-linked collection is from an authorized retailer, so all bottles there are legit.

Choosing the Right Flavour and VG/PG Ratio

When picking a flavour, think about what fruits or candies you like in real life. All Alternativ juices combine fruits and sweets: for instance, if you love lemonade and pineapple, Omega could be your pick. If you prefer apple and grape candy, try Alpha. Vapers often experiment by buying one bottle of each for variety.

The menthol in Alternativ is always light – just a refreshing exhale – so it won’t freeze your sinuses like some menthol juices. It simply adds a cool edge. If you’re very sensitive to mint, you might find it barely noticeable; if you enjoy menthol, you’ll appreciate the chill.

Since Alternativ uses 70% VG, be prepared for thick juice. This means bigger clouds and smoother vaping. It also means the flavour can taste slightly milder than a 50/50 blend, because higher PG usually carries flavor stronger. But Marina Vape’s recipes are well-formulated, so the taste is still rich. If you prefer more throat hit or flavor intensity, be aware that this line is cloudier by design.

Always store your 100 mL bottles upright, out of direct heat. And remember to shake the bottle well after adding nicotine shot.
