Nasty Vapes

What the Nasty Vapes collection covers

This collection brings together products from Nasty, a brand widely recognised for bold, fruit-led e-liquids sold in the UK as 50ml shortfills and 10ml nicotine salts. If you already know the name, the page lets you browse the range in one place and compare sizes, strengths and flavours without hopping between categories. If you are new to it, this guide explains what each format is, who it suits and what to check before you add anything to your basket.

Most listings in this collection fall into a few groups:

• Shortfill e-liquids. Larger bottles filled with nicotine-free liquid, with spare room so you can add nicotine shots yourself. These are built for sub-ohm tanks and higher-powered pod kits.
• Nicotine salt e-liquids. Small 10ml bottles in lower strengths such as 10mg and 20mg, designed for pod systems and low-powered kits with a tighter, mouth-to-lung draw.
• Related add-ons. Nicotine shots, spare coils and replacement pods that are commonly bought alongside the liquid.

Stock, flavours and bottle sizes change from one batch to the next, so treat this page as a guide to the range rather than a fixed catalogue. Always read the individual product listing for the exact strength, VG/PG split, bottle size and flavour description before you order. If something is not clear, the listing or our customer service team is a better source than assumptions.

Brand background and positioning

Nasty is a Malaysian-origin e-liquid house that built its UK following through loud, graphic packaging and a flavour menu aimed squarely at adult vapers who want something punchier than a plain fruit juice. The branding is deliberately irreverent. That style is part of why the products are easy to spot on a shelf, and it is also why counterfeiters like to copy them, which we cover further down.

In practical terms the brand sits in the mainstream mid-market. It is not a boutique craft label with tiny batches, and it is not a bargain-bin house liquid either. You are paying for an established name, a consistent flavour profile from bottle to bottle and wide availability across UK retailers, which makes it easy to reorder a flavour you have already tried.

A few things the brand is generally associated with:

• Fruit-forward flavour design with sweet, juicy top notes and, in many recipes, a cooling finish.
• High-VG shortfills intended for larger, cloud-friendly setups.
• Nicotine salt versions of some flavours for vapers who prefer a smaller device.

It is worth remembering that a brand's range evolves. Individual flavour names come and go, and some lines are refreshed or retired. If you are searching for a specific flavour you remember from a previous order, check the listing rather than relying on memory, because recipes and packaging do get updated over time.

Flagship product lines: shortfills, nic salts and what else to expect

Nasty shortfills are the line most people mean when they say they vape Nasty. A typical bottle holds 50ml of nicotine-free liquid inside a 60ml container. That gap exists so you can add one 10ml nicotine shot and end up with 60ml of liquid at roughly 3mg/ml. The VG/PG balance is commonly weighted towards vegetable glycerine, often around 70VG/30PG, which produces thicker vapour and a smoother, softer throat feel at the right wattage. Check each listing, as ratios can differ between flavours.

Nasty nicotine salts arrive in 10ml bottles with the nicotine already blended in. Strengths of 10mg and 20mg are the usual options, and 20mg is the legal maximum for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK. Salt liquids are generally balanced closer to equal parts VG and PG so they wick properly in small pod coils. They deliver nicotine quickly at low power and are the sensible choice if your device is a compact pod kit rather than a sub-ohm tank.

Other formats have appeared under the Nasty name in some markets, including bar-style and pre-filled products. In the UK, the rules on those have tightened considerably, so please read the legal section below before assuming that any particular format can be sold or bought here. Where a rechargeable or refillable Nasty device is listed in this collection, the product page will say so clearly, along with the battery size, coil type and pod capacity.

As a rule of thumb: pick shortfills if you own or plan to buy a sub-ohm tank or a higher-wattage pod device, and pick nic salts if you want a small, discreet pod kit that you charge and refill.

Flavour signatures: what a Nasty liquid usually tastes like

The common thread across the range is a sweet, fruit-centred profile with defined edges. Rather than a muddy blend, the better recipes aim for a recognisable lead fruit, a supporting note or two and a finish that does not linger too heavily. Many flavours add a menthol or ice element, which gives a cool exhale. The strength of that cooling varies by recipe, so look for descriptions that say light, medium or heavy ice.

When you are scanning the collection, it helps to think in flavour families:

• Fruit and berry blends. Juicy, sweet and bright. A good starting point if you are moving away from tobacco and want something obviously different.
• Iced fruit. The same fruit base with a menthol lift. Pleasant on warm days, but can feel sharp at higher nicotine strengths.
• Sweet and dessert-leaning mixes. Heavier and richer. These can coat coils faster, so they tend to need more frequent coil changes.
• Candy and soda styles. Light, fizzy and playful, with a clean finish that suits all-day vaping.

A practical tip: flavour is influenced by your coil and power as much as the recipe. A mesh coil at a moderate wattage will bring out more of the fruit character. Turn the power too high and sweet flavours can become flat, scorched or harsh. If a liquid tastes weaker than you expected, lower the wattage a notch and give the coil a few puffs to settle before drawing a firm conclusion.

Remember also that flavour descriptions are subjective. Two people can read the same description and taste something different, so if you are unsure, start with one bottle of a flavour you have already enjoyed in a similar style before committing to several.

Who Nasty suits: new vapers and experienced vapers

If you are new to vaping, the most useful question is how you currently smoke. Someone who smokes around ten or more cigarettes a day usually does better starting with a nicotine salt at the stronger end, run in a simple pod kit with a mouth-to-lung draw that feels familiar. The bottle is small, the device is small, and there is little to adjust. Light smokers and social smokers may find 10mg salt is enough. Please remember that vaping products are for adults and for people who already smoke or use nicotine. If you do not smoke, you do not need to start.

If you have vaped for a while, shortfills offer more control. You choose the nicotine level by deciding whether to add one shot, two shots or none, you can buy in larger volumes, and the cost per ml is usually lower than a 10ml bottle. Experienced users with sub-ohm tanks or adjustable mods get the most from the thicker VG-heavy liquids, since they have the airflow and power range to match.

Some quick guidelines:

• Switching from cigarettes, small device: nic salt, 10mg or 20mg, pod kit.
• Switching from cigarettes, wants a bigger draw: shortfill with one or two shots, sub-ohm or high-power pod kit.
• Already vaping and wanting to cut nicotine: shortfill, gradually reduce shots over several weeks.
• Vaping mainly for flavour: nicotine-free shortfill, which is simply the bottle without the shot.

Lastly, if you are unsure, a quick conversation with your local stop-smoking service or pharmacist can help you pick a nicotine level that is realistic for you. Many UK areas offer free support and, in some cases, free starter kits.

Choosing nicotine strength and VG/PG ratio

Nicotine strength is the decision most people get wrong the first time, so it is worth slowing down here. UK law limits nicotine e-liquid to a maximum of 20mg/ml, but most vapers do not need to be near that ceiling. The right level depends on the type of liquid, the power of your device and your smoking history.

Nicotine salts. Salts feel smoother than freebase nicotine at the same strength, so 20mg salt hits noticeably harder than you might expect if you are used to freebase. Heavier smokers often start at 20mg, while lighter smokers choose 10mg. Pods drawn at low wattage are the natural home for these.

Shortfills with shots. With a 50ml bottle and one 18mg or 20mg shot, you land at roughly 3mg/ml. That is a gentle level for sub-ohm vaping, because you inhale a large volume of vapour per puff. Two shots in a bigger bottle gets you closer to 6mg/ml. Most sub-ohm users sit between 0mg and 6mg. Going far above that with a high-power device can feel harsh in the throat.

A simple way to think about it:

• Low power, small coil, tight draw: higher strength, lower volume of vapour.
• High power, large coil, open draw: lower strength, high volume of vapour.

VG and PG. VG is thick, smooth and produces dense vapour. PG is thinner, carries flavour sharply and gives more throat hit. Shortfills are usually VG-led, which suits mesh coils but can be too thick for small pod coils with narrow wicking holes. Salts are balanced more evenly for that reason. If your coils gurgle, taste burnt very early or leak, check whether the liquid is too thick for the device before blaming the coil.

When you add a nicotine shot, shake the bottle thoroughly, then let it stand for a few hours before you vape. This lets the nicotine blend evenly and settles any foaming caused by shaking.

Matching Nasty liquids to devices, plus basic care

Compatibility is where many returns start, so check these points before you buy.

• Sub-ohm tanks and mesh coils (about 0.15 to 0.6 ohm). Designed for high-VG shortfills, typically run in the 30 to 70 watt range depending on the coil. Always follow the wattage printed on the coil.
• Higher-powered pod kits with mesh coils (about 0.4 to 0.8 ohm). Many accept shortfills, and are a good halfway house between a pod and a full tank.
• Small refillable pod kits (about 0.8 to 1.2 ohm). Better suited to nicotine salts. A thick 70VG liquid may wick poorly in these.
• Pre-filled pods. Only compatible with the pods designed for that specific device. They are not interchangeable between brands, so always match the pod to the exact device model.

Care and maintenance. Coils are consumables. Sweet and dessert-leaning liquids tend to shorten coil life, so a coil that lasts two weeks on a lighter fruit liquid may last closer to one on a sweeter mix. Signs a coil is finished include burnt or flat flavour, gurgling, weak vapour and a darkened wick or coil head. Priming new coils properly makes a real difference: drip a few drops of liquid onto the cotton holes, fill the tank, wait five to ten minutes, then take a few gentle puffs without firing to full power.

Rinse tanks with warm water when you change flavour, let them dry fully and avoid leaving a tank on its side. Keep devices out of hot cars and away from direct sun, and charge with the cable supplied or a reputable replacement. If a battery swells, overheats or smells odd, stop using it and take it to a proper recycling point rather than putting it in household waste.

How Nasty compares with similar brands, and honest value guidance

The UK shortfill and salt market is crowded, with brands such as IVG, Doozy, Hayati, Elux, Pod Salt, Dinner Lady and many others competing for the same shelf. Without being unfair to any of them, here is how Nasty tends to sit in broad terms.

• Against dessert-led houses: Nasty leans more towards bright, fruity and iced recipes than creamy or bakery-style ones. If you want custard and biscuit notes, you may find better matches elsewhere.
• Against other fruit-led shortfill brands: The range is broad and the recipes are distinctive, but fruit shortfills are a heavily contested category, so personal taste decides it more than any technical difference.
• Against nic salt specialists: Some salt-only brands offer more strengths and a wider choice of pod-friendly ratios. Nasty's salt range is narrower, but it covers the standard 10mg and 20mg options.

Value. A 50ml shortfill generally costs less per ml than a 10ml salt. If you vape several millilitres a day, the shortfill route is usually kinder to your wallet, though you need a suitable device and a couple of nicotine shots. Entry-level shortfill pricing is typical of the mid-market, and multibuy deals can bring the effective price down further. Be wary of any price that sits far below what other UK retailers charge, as unusually cheap stock is one of the most common signs of counterfeit or grey-market product.

Tax changes and duty on vaping liquids can move shelf prices over time, so compare cost per millilitre rather than cost per bottle. Remember to include the cost of nicotine shots if you are using shortfills at anything above 0mg. For device-based listings, factor in the price of replacement coils or pods, because a cheap kit with expensive consumables can cost more over six months than a pricier kit with cheap coils.

UK rules: TPD limits, the 20mg cap and the disposable ban

Vaping products in the UK are regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, which implement the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) rules in UK law. These shape what you see in this collection.

• Nicotine cap: nicotine e-liquid and nicotine salts are limited to 20mg/ml. Anything advertised above that is not legitimate UK stock.
• Bottle size: nicotine-containing e-liquid is limited to 10ml per bottle. This is why salts come in 10ml and why shortfills are sold nicotine-free, with separate shots.
• Tank and pod size: refillable tanks and pods are capped at 2ml.
• Packaging: nicotine products must carry the required health warning, an ingredients list, child-resistant and tamper-evident closures and a leaflet or equivalent information.
• Notification: products with nicotine must be notified to the MHRA before sale.
• Age: you must be 18 or over to buy, and retailers are expected to verify age.

Disposable vapes. Single-use disposable vapes have been banned from sale in the UK since 1 June 2025. Where they were once sold, they carried the same 20mg nicotine cap and 2ml pod limit as other devices, but they can no longer be legally sold. If you see a Nasty bar-style product, make sure it is a rechargeable and refillable or replaceable-pod device, and check that the listing says so. Anything that is genuinely single-use should not appear in a legitimate UK shop.

Rules and enforcement continue to develop, including measures on flavours, packaging and display, so check the current position if you are relying on something specific. This guide is general information, not legal advice. If a product listed on any website seems to break one of the limits above, treat that as a warning sign about the seller.

Spotting genuine stock, warranty, returns and recycling

Because Nasty is a recognisable name, copies exist. Counterfeit e-liquid can contain unknown ingredients and unlisted nicotine levels, which is a real health risk. Here is how to protect yourself.

• Buy from a UK retailer you trust. Pricing that looks too good to be true usually is.
• Check the bottle. Look for sharp, consistent printing, a properly fitted tamper-evident ring, a child-resistant cap, and a clear batch number and best-before date. Blurry labels, misspelt words or missing warnings are red flags.
• Check the legal text. Nicotine products should show the nicotine strength, ingredients and the standard health warning. Absent or wrong information is a bad sign.
• Compare with a known bottle. If you have an older genuine bottle, compare label colours, fonts and cap style.
• Be wary of marketplace sellers and social media offers that do not give a clear company name and returns address.

Warranty and returns. E-liquids are consumables and are not covered by a manufacturer warranty, but you are still protected if a bottle arrives damaged, leaking or not as described. Devices commonly carry a limited manufacturer warranty, with the period shown on the product page. Warranty rarely covers coils, pods, damage from drops or water, or wear on the battery. Keep your order confirmation, take photos if something arrives damaged and contact us promptly. For sealed goods, the usual returns rules apply, but opened e-liquid and used coils generally cannot be returned for hygiene and safety reasons. See our returns policy for the detail.

Delivery. UK orders are sent with age-restricted product handling. Delivery options and cut-off times are shown at checkout.

Recycling. Never put used vapes, batteries or coils in the general bin or in the road. Lithium batteries can cause fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Retailers that sell vape devices are required to offer take-back for waste electricals, and many local council recycling centres accept small electricals. The Recycle Your Electricals website has a postcode search for drop-off points. Empty plastic e-liquid bottles can often go in household plastic recycling once empty, but check your local council rules first.
