# Maison Fuel, a French fruit palette explained range by range

> Maison Fuel range by range for UK vapers, ACE and K-Fuel shortfills, the cooling thread, PG VG ratios and whether the brand is sold here.


ACE, K-Fuel, Fighter Fuel, Graham Fuel, Big Fuel. Maison Fuel names its ranges faster than most vapers can sort them, and the brand pages of the shops that stock it pile up bottles without saying what separates one collection from another. Add the fact that this French house is rarely seen on British shelves, and choosing turns into guesswork. What does this palette actually contain, and which range deserves a UK vaper's attention?

## Maison Fuel in short, what the brand covers

**Maison Fuel** is a French e-liquid maker whose catalogue leans firmly towards fruit, usually lifted by a cooling note. The sellers we checked agree on French manufacture and on a line-up split into distinct collections, each with its own bottle size and ratio.

ACE gathers fruit duos and trios in 50 ml, K-Fuel more constructed pairings in 100 ml, Fighter Fuel the most intense recipes. Panier du Marché, Fruity Fuel, Graham Fuel and Big Fuel complete the set. The large formats are sold nicotine-free, in other words as shortfills with room for a nicotine shot.

So read the brand by range rather than by bottle. Size, ratio and the strength of the cooling note shape the result far more than the name on the label.

## Maison Fuel ranges, profile by profile

Each collection fills a precise slot in the palette. The four entries below run from the most direct iced fruit to biscuit-led sweet blends, by way of the intense end of the catalogue.

### ACE, straight fruit with a cooling edge in 50 ml

ACE is the most legible range **Maison Fuel** makes. Eight recipes in a 50 ml bottle, a 40/60 PG/VG base, no nicotine, and the same cool signature on every reference. The blends stay short, apple and mango, blackberry and lemon, blueberry and blood orange, or mixed red berries on their own.

The trios add contrast rather than one more fruit. Blackcurrant, apple and raspberry play on sharpness, peach, pomegranate and watermelon on juicy roundness, strawberry, red berries and pomegranate on depth. The most unusual recipe pairs orange, carrot and lemon, a vegetal note rarely found in a fruit range.

### K-Fuel, more constructed pairings in 100 ml

K-Fuel changes both scale and construction. The five recipes come as 100 ml nicotine-free shortfills on a 30/70 PG/VG base, richer in glycerine. Each fruit pairing receives a third element that works as an accent rather than a main flavour.

Kira pairs watermelon and kiwi, with yuzu bringing a zesty finish. Derby opens on icy mint, adds redcurrant and ends on cherry blossom, the only floral note in the range. Romi crosses blackcurrant, cherry and red berries, Zia combines blackcurrant and blue raspberry, and Jinho sets red berries over a lemonade note. That final accent can vanish at too high a wattage.

### Fighter Fuel, the intense range, as a landmark

Fighter Fuel is a large collection and the one with the most pronounced intensity. Its recipes carry Japanese names, Shigeri and its Dark, Bloody and Lady variations, Mawashi, Kobura or Kansetsu, and almost always pair fruit with a strong cooling note. The large formats hold 100 ml in a 120 ml bottle, on a 30/70 base. This is the intense pole of the palette, where you turn when ACE feels too polite.

### Panier du Marché, Graham Fuel and Big Fuel, the other doors

Panier du Marché, French for market basket, gathers fruit duos and trios presented as simple, in 100 ml. Graham Fuel moves to the sweet side with biscuit-led recipes. Churosso suggests a caramelised churro served with vanilla ice cream, Pecano a vanilla and pecan biscuit.

Big Fuel collects fruit and dessert recipes in nicotine-free 200 ml bottles on a 50/50 base, from a cherry, red berry and apricot blend to a coffee paired with vanilla cream.

## The cooling note, the common thread of the Maison Fuel palette

If one trait links the core ranges, it is the cooling note. On the brand page of a large French retailer, all eight ACE references carry the French word for freshness, as do four K-Fuel recipes out of five. The fifth, Derby, replaces it with icy mint, and Fighter Fuel follows the same line.

Anyone who likes iced fruit finds in **Maison Fuel** a coherent palette, running from the most direct (ACE) to the most constructed (K-Fuel). Anyone who dislikes the cold sensation is better served by Panier du Marché or Big Fuel, whose descriptions in the listings we read mention no cooling note.

## Formats and ratios, what they change in the mouth

Ratio is the first filter, ahead of flavour. Here are the sizes and bases listed by sellers.

| Range | Format | PG/VG ratio | Dominant profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACE | 50 ml | 40/60 | straight fruit, cooling |
| K-Fuel | 100 ml | 30/70 | fruit pairings with an accent |
| Fighter Fuel | 100 ml in a 120 ml bottle | 30/70 | intense fruit, strong cooling |
| Graham Fuel | 100 ml in a 120 ml bottle | 30/70 | biscuit-led sweet |
| Big Fuel | 200 ml | 50/50 | fruit or dessert |

A 30/70 base, the majority at **Maison Fuel**, holds more vegetable glycerine. It produces dense vapour and comes into its own on open-draw hardware. In a small tight-draw pod it wicks less readily and can taste muted.

ACE's 40/60 is more versatile, and Big Fuel's 50/50 is the most comfortable on tight draws, where flavour definition matters more than vapour volume. Our guide to the [PG VG split and flavour](/uk/pg-vg-ratio-flavour/) explains the mechanism.

UK rules explain why these bottles arrive without nicotine. Nicotine-containing e-liquid is capped at 20 mg per millilitre and sold in bottles of no more than 10 ml, and refillable tanks are limited to 2 ml. A shortfill sidesteps the bottle limit by leaving space for a 10 ml nicotine shot that you add yourself.

## Can you buy Maison Fuel in the UK

Searching the brand from a British connection returns French retailers and wholesalers, a Swiss shop and the maker's Instagram account. No established UK vape shop appeared in the first results we checked in October 2026.

Several of those French sellers run English-language storefronts, but that is a translated catalogue rather than domestic distribution. For a British reader, **Maison Fuel** works better as a map of flavour construction than as a shopping list, a way to recognise an iced fruit duo among the profiles stocked here.

## Which Maison Fuel range for which palate

Choosing here means crossing the flavour profile you want with the hardware you use.

| You are after | Range to try | Best suited hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Straight iced fruit | ACE | versatile |
| A pairing with a zesty or floral accent | K-Fuel | open draw |
| Intensity and strong cooling | Fighter Fuel | open draw |
| Fruit without a cooling note | Panier du Marché | depends on the bottle |
| Biscuit-led sweetness | Graham Fuel | open draw |
| A base richer in PG | Big Fuel | tight draw |

This slot logic mirrors the approach we took with [Le Coq Qui Vape](/uk/le-coq-qui-vape-brand/), another French house with opposite choices. That brand leans on patisserie and a balanced base, Maison Fuel on cool fruit and glycerine. To place each recipe in a wider family, our tour of the [fruit e-liquid families](/uk/fruit-e-liquid-flavours/) works as a reading grid.

## FAQ

The same questions come up around the brand, from where it is made to nicotine and DIY. Here are the answers drawn from the listings we read.

### Is Maison Fuel a French brand?

Yes. Sellers distributing the range state that it is made in France, and one wholesaler adds that the recipes are formulated there. None of the sources we read details the company's history or its founding date.

### How do I add nicotine to an ACE or K-Fuel shortfill?

With 10 ml nicotine shots. One 18 mg/ml shot added to the 50 ml of an ACE bottle gives 60 ml at 3 mg/ml, and two shots in a 100 ml K-Fuel give 120 ml at the same strength. With 20 mg/ml shots, the result is closer to 3.3 mg/ml.

### Are there Maison Fuel concentrates for DIY?

Yes, notably for Fighter Fuel, in 30 ml bottles. Most listings give a 9% mixing rate, but some references depart from it, from 5 to 15% depending on the recipe and the seller. The rate printed on the bottle remains the only reliable guide.

### Does the brand work with other makers?

Yes. Several Fighter Fuel recipes, such as Katana, Yuko and Paloma, are collaborations with Enfer, which sellers list as Enfer Vape 47 or Enfer de Vape 47.

### Where do the Fighter Fuel names come from?

They are Japanese, and several echo karate techniques, mawashi, as in mawashi-geri, the roundhouse kick, and uraken, the backfist strike. The nod suits the range name but says nothing about taste, which only each bottle's description spells out.

## Maison Fuel, reading the palette before choosing the bottle

Approaching **Maison Fuel** through its full catalogue quickly leads to confusion, and from Britain the catalogue is not even on the shelf. The better entry runs through three questions in order, how much cooling you want, which ratio suits your hardware, then which slot of your palette needs filling.

Answer those and the brand becomes simple to read. ACE, K-Fuel and Fighter Fuel trace a gradient of iced fruit, from the most direct to the most forceful, and **Maison Fuel** stands as a French house best explored range by range, as a palette of flavours rather than a list of bottles.
