SAM VAPE 60ml 3mg E-Liquid Review: 23 Flavours Tested for Dubai Sub-Ohm Vapers

SAM VAPE 60ml 3mg E-liquid is a 70/30 VG/PG freebase vape juice from Sam’s Vapes, the UAE-market e-liquid brand, sold on vapsshop.ae for 45 AED a bottle in 23 flavours. It suits adult vapers in Dubai who run sub-ohm or restricted-lung devices and want low-nicotine, high-flavour liquid rather than a nicotine-salt punch. Our verdict: one of the best-value 60ml freebase lines on the site, strongest in its Frozen fruit range, and not the right buy for anyone vaping a low-power MTL pod.

Last tested/updated: 3 September 2026. Price and stock checked against the live vapsshop.ae listing on that date. This review is for adults aged 18+ only.

Bottle, ratio and nicotine format

SAM VAPE 60ml comes as a single 60ml bottle of 70/30 VG/PG freebase liquid at 3mg/ml nicotine. Those three numbers, more than the flavour name, decide whether it will work in your device, so they’re worth explaining.

Why 70/30 matters. Vegetable glycerin (VG) is the thick, sweet base that produces vapor; propylene glycol (PG) is thinner, carries flavour and gives throat hit. A 70% VG liquid is dense: it makes a full cloud and a soft inhale, but it wicks slowly through a small coil. That is why 70/30 liquids are built for sub-ohm mesh coils and restricted-lung pods with wide wicking ports, and why they can dry-hit in a tight 1.0Ω+ MTL pod that was designed for thinner 50/50 liquid.

Why freebase, and why 3mg. Freebase nicotine is the older, unmodified form; it gives a noticeable throat hit at higher strengths, which is why freebase liquids are sold at low strengths (3mg or 6mg) for high-power devices that vaporise a lot of liquid per puff. Nicotine salt is the opposite: smooth at 20mg/ml, designed for low-power pods. At 3mg/ml on a 40–70W coil you get steady nicotine delivery without harshness. Put the same 3mg liquid in a 15W pod and it will feel almost nicotine-free.

The 120ml sibling. vapsshop.ae also sells Sam Vape 120ml 3mg for 60 AED, which is 0.50 AED/ml against the 60ml bottle’s 0.75 AED/ml. The 60ml bottle is the right choice for trying a new flavour; once you know which one you’ll finish, the 120ml is a third cheaper per millilitre.

Flavour and vapor performance

SAM VAPE 60ml’s 23 flavours fall into three families: sweet fruit, “Frozen” fruit with an ice note, and two tobaccos. The Frozen range is the strongest; the plain fruits are sweeter and warmer; the tobaccos are mild rather than bold. Vapor is thick and soft on any sub-ohm coil, as the 70% VG ratio promises.

Here is how the families break down, from testing the range on a 0.3Ω mesh coil at 45W:

Frozen fruit (the core of the range). Frozen Mango Crush is the standout: ripe mango on the inhale with a cooling exhale that stays clean rather than minty. Frozen Grape Xtreme is a candied purple grape with a sharp ice finish, and Frozen Mello Melon is a soft honeydew where the ice lifts rather than dominates. Frozen Sweet Berry and Blast Berry Frozen are mixed-berry profiles, the former rounder and jammier, the latter sharper and more tart. Frozen Xede, Frozen Sweet Melon, Frozen Minty Breez and the frozen versions of Mango Melon and Sweet Melon complete the set; Frozen Minty Breez is the only one that reads as mint-first rather than fruit-first.

Plain fruit. Mango Crush, Grape Splash and Grape Xtreme, Mello Melon, Sweet Berry, Sweet Melon, Mango Melon, Blast Berry, Xede and Tropx Xplod are the same fruit bases without the cooling agent. Without ice, the sweetness comes forward, so these suit people who find frozen liquids fatiguing over a full day. Tropx Xplod is the most complex, a layered tropical mix rather than a single fruit.

Tobacco. Columbus / Smooth Tobacco is a mellow, slightly sweet tobacco with none of the ash of stronger blends, and Sweet Tobacco leans further into caramel. Neither is a cigarette imitation; they are dessert-tobaccos for people who want a break from fruit.

The mechanism behind the Frozen range’s edge is the VG ratio: a high-VG base carries cooling agents well and produces enough vapor that the ice note is felt across the whole exhale. On a thinner liquid the same cooling can feel harsh; on 70/30 it stays smooth. That is also why the plain fruits can taste slightly muted at low wattage and open up above 40W.

Device pairing and coil life

SAM VAPE 60ml is built for sub-ohm coils between roughly 0.15Ω and 0.6Ω, run at 30–70W, in a pod mod or tank with generous wicking ports. It is not intended for tight MTL pods, and using it in one is the most common reason a 70/30 liquid gets blamed for dry hits.

The reason comes back to viscosity. A 70% VG liquid moves slowly through cotton; a sub-ohm mesh coil has large wicking ports and heats a wide surface, so it pulls liquid fast enough to keep up. A 1.0Ω MTL pod has small ports and a thin coil, so the wick can run dry between draws. If you own a device like the VOOPOO Drag H80S or a 50W-class pod kit, this liquid is a natural fit. If you own an 800mAh auto-draw pod, a nicotine-salt 30ml is the right format instead.

Coil life on a 3mg freebase is generally longer than on a heavily sweetened salt, because there is less sweetener to caramelise on the coil, but the Frozen fruit flavours still carry sweetener and will darken a mesh coil over time. Expect the plain fruits and tobaccos to be kinder to coils than the frozen range. There is no published coil-life figure for any e-liquid, and we don’t invent one: change the coil when flavour dulls.

On bottle life, a sealed 60ml bottle stored in a cool, dark cupboard keeps well; opened bottles are best finished within a few months. Heat and sunlight are the two things that degrade e-liquid, and both are plentiful in Dubai (see the UAE notes below).

Pros and cons

Pros

• 23 flavours across fruit, frozen fruit and tobacco, so the line covers most sub-ohm tastes without changing brand
• 70/30 VG/PG gives thick, soft vapor on any sub-ohm mesh coil
• 3mg freebase is the right strength for 40–70W devices and sits far under the UAE nicotine cap
• 0.75 AED/ml is among the lowest prices for a 60ml freebase on vapsshop.ae, and the 120ml bottle drops it to 0.50 AED/ml
• Frozen Mango Crush, Frozen Grape Xtreme and Frozen Mello Melon are among the cleaner ice-fruit liquids at this price

Cons

• 70% VG wicks too slowly for tight MTL pods and 1.0Ω+ coils, so it can dry-hit in a low-power device
• 3mg is the only strength on the 60ml bottle; there is no 6mg option for people who want more throat hit at lower wattage
• The plain (non-frozen) fruits taste muted below 40W and need a higher-power setup to open up
• No batch or ingredient sheet on the listing, so you rely on the brand rather than a published analysis

Who should buy it, and who shouldn’t

Buy SAM VAPE 60ml if you run a sub-ohm pod mod or tank at 30W or more, prefer low nicotine, and want fruit or ice-fruit flavours at a low price per millilitre. Skip it if you vape a tight MTL pod or need the throat hit of a nicotine salt.

This liquid fits you if:

• You vape restricted-lung or direct-lung on a mesh coil between 0.15Ω and 0.6Ω
• You want 3mg nicotine and a soft inhale rather than a salt-style hit
• You go through liquid quickly and care about cost per ml
• You like cooling fruit flavours; the Frozen range is where this brand is strongest
• You want one brand with enough range to rotate flavours

Look elsewhere if:

• You use an auto-draw pod with a 0.8Ω or tighter coil; a 50/50 nicotine salt wicks properly there
• You want 6mg, 12mg or 18mg freebase for a lower-power setup
• You prefer dessert, custard or bakery profiles; the range is fruit- and tobacco-led
• You want a published ingredient or batch analysis before buying

SAM VAPE 60ml vs DR VAPES Bubblegum Kings 60ml

The closest in-catalogue alternative is DR VAPES Bubblegum Kings Vape Juice 60ml 3mg, which vapsshop.ae sells for the same 45 AED and had in stock when we checked. Both are 60ml, 3mg freebase liquids for sub-ohm devices, so the choice comes down to ratio, flavour range and what each brand does best.

Spec	SAM VAPE 60ml 3mg	DR VAPES Bubblegum Kings 60ml 3mg
Price (vapsshop.ae)	45 AED	45 AED
Cost per ml	0.75 AED/ml	0.75 AED/ml
Nicotine	3mg freebase	3mg freebase
VG/PG	70/30	78/22
Flavour count	23	8
Flavour focus	Fruit, frozen fruit, tobacco	Bubblegum-led, plus cola, pomegranate, watermelon and ice versions
Best device match	0.15–0.6Ω mesh, 30–70W	0.15–0.4Ω mesh, 40W+ (thicker liquid)
Larger bottle available	120ml at 60 AED (0.50 AED/ml)	120ml Bubblegum King at 60 AED (0.50 AED/ml)

At identical price and strength, the two split on ratio and range. DR VAPES’ 78% VG is thicker still, which means denser clouds but an even narrower device window: it wants a low-resistance mesh and plenty of power. SAM VAPE’s 70/30 is a little more forgiving and works on 0.6Ω restricted-lung coils that would struggle with 78/22. On flavour, DR VAPES is the specialist, with a bubblegum profile that our Dr Vapes Bubblegum Kings 60ml review covers in depth; SAM VAPE is the generalist with nearly three times the range.

Pick SAM VAPE 60ml for variety and a slightly wider device fit; pick DR VAPES Bubblegum Kings for a single, well-executed sweet profile on a high-power setup.

UAE-specific notes

Two rules shape how e-liquid is sold and used in the UAE: nicotine concentration is capped at 20mg/ml under the MOIAT standard UAE.S 5030:2018, and nicotine products may only be sold to adults aged 18 and over under UAE regulations.

Nicotine cap. At 3mg/ml, SAM VAPE 60ml sits far below the 20mg/ml limit set in MOIAT’s mandatory regulation for electronic nicotine products (UAE.S 5030:2018). The standard also governs labelling, so a compliant bottle carries its nicotine strength and warnings on the label; check for them.

Age restriction. This product is for adults aged 18 and over. UAE regulations prohibits selling tobacco and nicotine products to anyone under 18, and vapsshop.ae verifies age at checkout. Vaping is not risk-free and this review makes no health claims about it.

Heat and shelf life. E-liquid degrades with heat and light: nicotine oxidises, darkening the liquid and adding a peppery edge, and flavourings fade. Never leave a bottle in a car; a Dubai car interior in summer can pass 60°C. Store bottles capped, upright, and in a cupboard rather than on a sunny shelf, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Delivery. vapsshop.ae delivers SAM VAPE to all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Dubai orders, including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JBR, Deira, Bur Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah and Al Barsha, usually arrive within about two hours; other emirates typically within 24 hours. Cash on delivery is available, and card payment is accepted for Dubai deliveries.

What other reviews leave out

Most e-liquid reviews list flavours and stop. The questions a Dubai buyer actually has are which device the liquid works in, whether to buy 60ml or 120ml, how the Frozen and plain versions differ, and how it compares with the brand’s own nicotine-salt line.

Which bottle to buy. Buy the 60ml at 45 AED to try a flavour. Once you know you’ll finish it, the 120ml at 60 AED is 0.50 AED/ml instead of 0.75 AED/ml, a saving of roughly a third. Most of the 60ml flavours have a 120ml equivalent.

Frozen vs plain. The Frozen versions add a cooling agent to the same fruit base. They are the better choice for all-day vaping in a hot climate and for high-wattage setups where warm vapor can feel heavy; the plain versions are sweeter and suit lower wattage and people who find ice tiring.

SAM VAPE freebase vs SAM VAPES salt. The same brand sells a 30ml nicotine-salt range at 30mg and 50mg for pod systems, covered in our SAM VAPES Salt Nicotine 30ml review. The rule of thumb: sub-ohm device, buy the 60ml freebase at 3mg; auto-draw pod, buy the 30ml salt at a strength that suits you and your device.

Cooling agents explained. If you’re unsure whether “Frozen” means menthol or a neutral cooling agent, our guide to menthol versus ice flavours explains the difference. In SAM VAPE’s range only Frozen Minty Breez reads as mint; the rest are neutral ice.

FAQ

Verdict

SAM VAPE 60ml 3mg is a well-priced, well-made freebase line whose case rests on three things: a 70/30 ratio that suits most sub-ohm devices, a 23-flavour range with a strong Frozen fruit core, and a 0.75 AED/ml price that drops to 0.50 AED/ml in the 120ml bottle. Its limits are equally clear: one strength, a fruit-and-tobacco-only range, and a viscosity that rules it out for tight MTL pods.

If you run a sub-ohm setup and want low-nicotine fruit liquid at a fair price, SAM VAPE 60ml 3mg E-liquid is available on vapsshop.ae in all 23 flavours. For other 3mg freebase options at the same price band, our Loaded E-Liquid 120ml review and Horny Flava 120ml review cover two larger-bottle alternatives, and the full Sam Vapes range is on the brand page.
