Overview of Mod Mate by Nasty 50ML Blue Raspberry Bubblegum

Mod Mate by Nasty 50ML Blue Raspberry Bubblegum is a 50ml shortfill e-liquid from the Nasty Juice family, made for vapers who run sub-ohm tanks and want a sweet, candy-style fruit flavour in a large, good-value bottle. The name gives the format away: Mod Mate is Nasty's shortfill range for people using a mod kit or a sub-ohm tank, and this flavour pairs a tangy blue raspberry note with the soft, sugary character of bubblegum.

It is sold as a shortfill. In the UK that means the bottle contains 50ml of nicotine-free (0mg) e-liquid inside a bottle that is larger than 50ml, leaving headspace so you can add nicotine shots if you want them. Nicotine-containing e-liquid sold in the UK is limited to 10ml bottles and a maximum strength of 20mg/ml, which is why a 50ml bottle only works as a shortfill: the liquid itself is supplied without nicotine, and you decide whether to keep it at 0mg or mix in one or two 10ml shots at home.

• Volume: 50ml of e-liquid in a larger bottle with room for nicotine shots
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg/ml (nicotine-free)
• Base: a high-VG blend, typically around 70VG/30PG on Nasty shortfills (check the label on your bottle for the exact ratio)
• Flavour: blue raspberry with bubblegum
• Intended hardware: sub-ohm tanks and mod kits, with mesh coils from roughly 0.15 to 0.4 ohm
• Age restriction: 18+ only; ID may be requested on delivery

This page is written for UK vapers who want a straight answer before they buy. Where a figure is not printed on the product listing, such as the exact VG/PG split or real-world puff estimates, we say so and explain how we reached it, so you can check the bottle yourself. Nothing here is a health claim. Vaping is intended for adult smokers who want an alternative, and if you do not smoke or vape already, this product is not for you.

Below you will find notes on performance, flavour, bottle design, the hardware it suits, coil choice, nicotine strength, who it is aimed at, how to use it, what to do when something goes wrong, how it compares on price, and how it sits against other options on the UK market.

Performance and puff delivery

Because this is an e-liquid and not a disposable, there is no built-in puff count printed on the bottle. What you get from 50ml depends on your device, your wattage and how you vape. We can still give useful estimates by reasoning from how sub-ohm hardware behaves.

On a typical direct-lung setup around 40 to 60 watts with a 0.2 ohm mesh coil, a three-second draw uses somewhere around 0.04 to 0.08ml of liquid. That puts a 50ml bottle in the region of 600 to 1,200 draws. Drop to a lower-powered mouth-to-lung or restricted-lung setup at 15 to 25 watts and consumption falls sharply, which stretches the same bottle to well over 2,000 draws. These are estimates rather than lab figures, and individual use varies a lot.

In daily terms, a moderate sub-ohm user tends to go through 3 to 5ml a day, so a 50ml bottle lasts roughly ten to sixteen days. Someone using a pod kit at lower power could make it last a month or more.

• Vapour production: the high-VG base produces dense, smooth clouds on sub-ohm coils, with a softer throat hit than a 50/50 liquid
• Flavour delivery: mesh coils warm the liquid evenly, which helps the blue raspberry top note come through without scorching the sweeter bubblegum layer
• Throat hit: light at 0mg, gentle at 3mg, firmer at 6mg after adding shots
• Consistency: because the liquid is thick, it wicks more slowly than thin liquids, so give a fresh coil a few minutes to saturate

Compared with a nicotine salt disposable, the experience is different in character. A disposable gives a quick, tight draw with a strong nicotine hit from a small tank, whereas a sub-ohm setup delivers a larger, airier draw with more vapour and more flavour volume. If you are used to a disposable and want a bigger flavour per puff, this format is the natural step.

One practical note on performance: sweet liquids tend to build residue on coils faster than unsweetened ones, so you may notice flavour tapering after a week or two of heavy use. That is normal and is covered in the coil and troubleshooting sections below.

Flavour profile

Blue raspberry is a candy flavour rather than a literal fruit. It is not a copy of the red raspberry you buy in a punnet, but the sharp, slightly sour, brightly sweet taste associated with sweets, slushies and ice lollies. Bubblegum adds a different dimension: a rounded, creamy sweetness with a hint of vanilla and fruit that most people recognise from childhood chewing gum. Together they make a sweet, playful flavour that sits firmly in the dessert-and-candy corner of the market.

Here is how the flavour tends to unfold across a draw:

• Inhale: a cool, tart blue raspberry note arrives first, with a slightly sherbet-like edge
• Mid-draw: bubblegum builds underneath, rounding off the tartness and adding body
• Exhale: a lingering sweet, gum-like finish with a faint raspberry aftertaste

There is no menthol or ice listed in the product name, so do not expect a cooling blast. Some blue raspberry flavourings carry a mild cooling sensation naturally, but this is nowhere near the level of a dedicated ice flavour.

Sweetness is the main thing to consider. This is a sweet e-liquid. If you prefer dry, tobacco-style or lightly fruity profiles, it will probably be too sugary for all-day vaping. If you like sweets, fizzy drinks and bubblegum, it will feel familiar.

Flavour strength also changes with your settings. At lower wattage the raspberry note leads and the gum character stays soft. At higher wattage the bubblegum becomes more pronounced and the whole thing tastes sweeter and a little heavier. Many people settle on the lower to middle part of their coil's wattage range to keep the tartness crisp.

Like most sweet liquids, flavour fades slightly as the coil ages, and it can taste muted if you vape it continuously in one long session, a phenomenon vapers often call vaper's tongue. Switching to a different flavour for a day or drinking water between sessions usually restores it.

Finally, bear in mind that flavour perception is personal. Our description is a guide, not a promise, and the most reliable way to judge any flavour is to try it. If you are unsure, ordering a single bottle before committing to several is sensible.

Design and build quality

The packaging for Mod Mate shortfills follows the usual UK shortfill pattern, with a soft, squeezable plastic bottle, a long pointed nozzle for filling tanks, and a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap. The bottle is deliberately larger than the 50ml of liquid inside it. That unused headspace is what allows you to add one or two nicotine shots without overfilling, and it also means you can shake the bottle without liquid reaching the neck.

Points worth knowing about the bottle:

• Nozzle: thin enough to fit most sub-ohm tank fill ports, including side-fill and top-fill designs. If a port is very narrow, squeeze gently rather than forcing it.
• Cap: child-resistant, so push down and turn. Keep it tightly closed between uses and store out of reach of children and pets.
• Seal: a tamper-evident ring should be intact when the bottle arrives. If it is broken, contact the retailer straight away.
• Labelling: the label carries the required UK information, including ingredients, batch details and warning text. Always read it before use.
• Material: flexible plastic, which makes it easy to dispense small amounts. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or a hot car.

The artwork follows the Nasty brand's recognisable, bold graphic style, with a colour scheme that hints at the blue-and-pink flavour. Design is subjective, but the practical details are what matter: clear flavour naming, a readable nicotine statement and obvious fill instructions.

As for build quality, there is little to go wrong on a shortfill bottle, but a few things are worth checking on arrival. Make sure the cap closes fully, the nozzle sits straight and the bottle has not been crushed in transit. A leaking bottle usually comes from a damaged nozzle or a loose cap, and either is a reason to ask for a replacement.

Storage matters for quality too. E-liquid keeps well in a cool, dark place, with the cap on, and away from heat and direct light. Stored sensibly, a sealed bottle should stay in good condition until its best-before date. Once opened and mixed with nicotine shots, aim to use the liquid within a couple of months to keep the flavour fresh.

When the bottle is empty, rinse it, remove the nozzle where possible and check your local council's rules. Many councils accept clean plastic bottles in household recycling, but caps and nozzles are sometimes handled differently.

Battery, charging and the hardware it needs

An e-liquid has no battery of its own, so charging depends entirely on the device you choose. The most important decision is the battery and coil pairing, because high-VG shortfills need enough power to heat and wick properly.

Common hardware that works well with a 70VG shortfill like this:

• Sub-ohm tank kits: a tank with a 0.15 to 0.3 ohm mesh coil, powered by a box mod or a vape pen battery from around 1,500 to 3,000mAh, depending on the device. Larger batteries give a longer day between charges.
• Dual-battery mods: typically use two 18650 cells (about 2,500 to 3,500mAh each) and can run 60 to 100 watts or more. They suit heavy users but are bulkier.
• Single 21700 mods: a single cell of around 4,000 to 5,000mAh gives a good balance of size and runtime.
• Larger-coil pod kits: pods rated for 0.4 to 0.8 ohm coils and a battery of about 1,000 to 1,800mAh can handle thicker liquids, though check the manufacturer's advice before filling.

On charging, use a quality USB cable and a standard wall adaptor or computer port. Avoid cheap unbranded chargers, never leave a charging device unattended or under a pillow, and never charge a device that has been damaged, dented or has a wrapper that is torn. If you use removable 18650 or 21700 cells, carry them in a plastic case and use an external charger designed for lithium-ion cells.

Tank capacity is also controlled by UK law: refillable tanks are limited to 2ml. That is why you will refill often with a sub-ohm tank, and why the nozzle design matters. A well-sized 2ml tank on a sub-ohm coil may last anywhere from an hour or two of steady vaping to most of a day at lower power.

Responsible disposal also applies to batteries. Never put a vape device or loose lithium cell in household rubbish or normal recycling bins. Take it to a vape-recycling drop-off point, which many UK vape shops offer, or to a household waste recycling centre that accepts small electrical items and batteries. Large supermarkets and electronics retailers also provide battery collection points. Tape over the terminals of loose cells before dropping them off, and keep damaged cells away from heat.

If you are new to sub-ohm vaping, a starter kit that bundles a tank, coils and battery is usually easier than picking separate parts. It also keeps the right power range clear on the box.

Coil and mesh technology

The coil is where this e-liquid either shines or struggles, so it is worth understanding. Mod Mate liquids are made for sub-ohm tanks, which use low-resistance coils (below 1.0 ohm) that heat quickly and handle thick, high-VG liquid. Most modern tanks use mesh coils rather than older round-wire coils.

A mesh coil is a thin, flat sheet of metal formed into a cylinder with a large surface area and a layer of cotton wicking behind it. Compared with a wire coil, this brings several benefits:

• Faster heat-up: the thin mesh warms almost instantly, so you get flavour from the first draw
• More even heating: the large surface reduces hot spots, which helps keep delicate candy notes from tasting burnt
• Better wicking: a larger cotton contact area copes more easily with thick 70VG liquid
• Longer flavour consistency: many users find mesh coils hold flavour for longer between changes

Which resistance to pick depends on how you like to vape:

• 0.15 to 0.2 ohm: high power, around 50 to 80 watts, big clouds and a warm draw. Uses more liquid.
• 0.25 to 0.4 ohm: a middle ground, 30 to 50 watts, with good flavour and moderate consumption.
• 0.6 to 0.8 ohm: a restricted-lung option for tanks that support it, around 20 to 35 watts, with a tighter draw. This is a good choice if you add nicotine shots and want to avoid a harsh hit.

Always check the wattage range printed on your coil. Running too high will scorch the cotton and ruin the flavour, while running too low will leave you with a cool, flat draw.

Coil life is the other practical point. Sweet liquids contain sweeteners that can caramelise on the coil surface and darken the cotton. Expect a coil to last between one and three weeks depending on use. Signs of a tired coil include muted flavour, a faint burnt taste, gurgling and a darker, crusty look to the cotton.

Priming also matters. Before firing a new coil, drip a few drops of e-liquid straight onto the cotton, fill the tank, and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Take a few draws without pressing the button to pull liquid through, then start at the lower end of the wattage range and build up. Skipping this step is the most common cause of dry hits and burnt coils with thick shortfills.

Nicotine strength guidance

Mod Mate is supplied at 0mg, so the nicotine strength is entirely your choice. Getting it right makes a big difference to comfort, because sub-ohm devices deliver a lot of vapour per draw and nicotine intake rises with the amount of liquid vaped.

The arithmetic is simple. Adding one 10ml nicotine shot (commonly 18mg/ml) to 50ml of 0mg liquid gives you 60ml at about 3mg/ml. Two shots in a 70ml bottle would give roughly 5mg/ml. Always check the fill guidance on your bottle, because the headspace varies by product.

• 0mg: nicotine-free, for people who enjoy the flavour and the habit without nicotine, or those who have finished reducing
• 3mg/ml (one shot): the usual choice for sub-ohm direct-lung vaping, suited to ex-smokers of light to moderate levels
• 5 to 6mg/ml (two shots): for heavier former smokers who find 3mg unsatisfying, usually with a higher-resistance coil to avoid a harsh hit

Higher strengths than this are rarely sensible in a sub-ohm tank. A strong, hot, high-volume draw delivers a lot of nicotine at once and can feel unpleasantly harsh, cause lightheadedness or make you feel unwell. If you need a stronger hit than 6mg, consider a mouth-to-lung nicotine salt device with a 10ml bottle instead.

On the legal limits: UK rules cap nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20mg/ml and bottles at 10ml, and the same 20mg limit applies to disposable vapes, which are also restricted to a 2ml tank capacity. Shortfills sidestep the 10ml bottle limit only because they contain no nicotine until you add it yourself. Nicotine shots are 10ml, as the regulations require.

If you are switching from smoking, a sensible approach is to start at a strength that stops you reaching for a cigarette, then slowly reduce over time. If you move from a 20mg nic salt disposable to 3mg freebase in a sub-ohm tank, the nicotine feels different. Salts absorb quickly and feel smooth at high strength, while freebase at 3mg may feel a little lighter at first, so give yourself a week before deciding.

Nicotine is addictive. If you have never smoked or vaped, do not start. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products. NHS stop smoking services are free and widely available if you want support quitting.

Who this e-liquid is for

Not every vaper needs a 50ml sub-ohm shortfill, so here is a plain description of who it suits and who might want something else.

It is a good fit if you:

• already own a sub-ohm tank, box mod or large-coil kit and want a reliable, sweet everyday flavour
• enjoy candy, bubblegum and sweet fruit profiles and do not mind a high-sweetness e-liquid
• want a bigger bottle that costs less per millilitre than 10ml refills
• are comfortable mixing your own nicotine strength with shots, or prefer to vape nicotine-free
• go through several millilitres a day and want to avoid constantly buying small bottles
• want to move from a disposable to a refillable setup for the sake of flavour variety and lower running costs

You may want something else if you:

• use a small pod kit with a coil rated above 1.0 ohm, since thick 70VG liquid can struggle to wick through tight coils
• want a strong, quick nicotine hit in a tiny device, in which case a nicotine salt in a 10ml bottle is more suitable
• prefer tobacco, menthol or minimal sweetness
• want the simplicity of a device you throw away, where a disposable will be easier
• are not used to handling and mixing nicotine, and do not want to measure or shake bottles

It is also worth being clear about who should not buy it. Anyone under 18 cannot legally buy vaping products in the UK, and it is an offence to buy them on behalf of someone who is under age. Non-smokers should not take up vaping. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition that nicotine could affect, check with a healthcare professional first.

For adult smokers, vaping is generally considered by UK public health bodies to be much less harmful than smoking, though it is not risk-free. A free-of-nicotine option like 0mg can be useful at the end of a reduction journey.

If you have not used a shortfill before, the learning curve is small. You need a refillable tank, a few spare coils, and a clear idea of the strength you want. Our team can point you towards a starter kit if you are unsure, and the how-to-use section below walks through the process step by step.

How to use it

Using a shortfill is straightforward once you have done it a couple of times. Follow these steps for a clean, safe mix and fill.

The process, step by step:

• Step 1, wash your hands and work on a clean, dry surface. Keep nicotine shots away from children, pets and food.
• Step 2, decide on strength. If you want 0mg, skip to the fill. If you want nicotine, open the bottle by pushing down and twisting the cap, and remove the nozzle with a gentle pull.
• Step 3, add the shot. Pour in one 10ml nicotine shot (or two if your bottle has room and you want a higher strength). Do not overfill past the neck.
• Step 4, replace the nozzle and cap, then shake the bottle for about thirty seconds to mix thoroughly.
• Step 5, let it rest. Leaving the bottle for a few hours, or overnight, lets the nicotine blend through the thick base. Some people also open the cap briefly to release air, then reseal.
• Step 6, prime your coil with a few drops on the cotton, fill the tank slowly to just below the maximum line, and wait five to ten minutes before firing.
• Step 7, start low. Set your device to the lower end of the coil's wattage range and increase in small steps until the flavour is right.

Daily use tips: take slow, steady draws of three to four seconds rather than long, hard pulls, because that reduces coil heat and makes the flavour smoother. Give the coil a few seconds between draws if you are chain vaping, which lets the cotton catch up. Refill before the tank runs low, since running a coil nearly dry is the quickest way to burn it.

When filling, tilt the tank, aim the nozzle at the side of the fill port, and avoid blocking the airflow slots with liquid. Wipe up any spill, especially if it contains nicotine, because skin contact can cause irritation. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets into your eyes or is swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

Store the mixed bottle upright, in a cool dark place, and label it with the strength and date. This avoids confusion if you keep several bottles on the go.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with sub-ohm shortfills come down to coils, wattage and wicking. Here are the issues we hear about most often, with practical fixes.

• Burnt or dry taste: usually a coil that was not primed, a tank that ran too low, or wattage set above the coil's range. Replace the coil, prime it properly and drop the power.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the chamber or condensation inside the airflow. Wipe the drip tip, tilt the tank gently to clear it, and make sure the coil is seated properly.
• Leaking from the tank: check the O-rings, make sure the tank is assembled firmly, and do not overfill. Hot cars and flights can also cause pressure leaks.
• Weak or muted flavour: may point to a worn coil, a tank that is too low, or vaper's tongue. Change the coil, refill, and try a different flavour for a day.
• Harsh throat hit: you may have too much nicotine for your power setting. Reduce wattage, use a higher-resistance coil, or mix a lower strength next time.
• Thin or flat vapour: power may be too low for the coil, or the liquid has not saturated the cotton. Raise the wattage slightly and let the coil soak.
• Overly sweet, sticky residue: sweet liquids leave sugar-like deposits. Rinse the tank with warm water every couple of refills, and let it dry fully before refilling.
• Bottle nozzle clogged or dripping: rinse the nozzle in warm water, dry it and reattach. Keep the bottle upright after use.
• Different colour after storage: e-liquid can darken slightly over time with exposure to light and air. This is normal, but if the smell or taste is off, stop using it.

If a device will not charge, fire or hold power, first check the connection, try another cable and remove the tank to reseat it. Never open or modify a battery. If a battery swells, gets hot, or smells strange, stop using it, move it away from flammable items and dispose of it safely at a battery recycling point.

If you have tried these steps and the liquid still tastes wrong, contact the retailer with your order number and a short description. Reporting batch problems helps get faulty stock withdrawn.

Value for money

Price is where shortfills make their case. A 10ml nicotine salt bottle is convenient but works out expensive per millilitre. A 50ml bottle gives you five times the volume, usually for much less than five times the cost, and most UK retailers list Mod Mate at a price in line with other mainstream 50ml shortfills. Check the current price on this page rather than relying on a figure written here, because retail pricing changes.

To compare fairly, think in terms of cost per millilitre and cost per day:

• Cost per ml: divide the bottle price by 50. This is typically a fraction of what you would pay for 10ml refills.
• Add nicotine shots: if you use nicotine, add the shot price. One 10ml shot typically adds a modest amount, and the combined cost still tends to be lower per millilitre than 10ml refills.
• Cost per day: a moderate user at about 4ml a day uses a bottle in roughly twelve days. That is a manageable running cost compared with buying disposables repeatedly.
• Coil cost: remember coils are an ongoing expense, usually one or two a month for sweet liquids.

Compared with disposables, the upfront cost of a tank kit is higher, but the running cost is usually lower. A typical disposable is a 2ml device with a fixed flavour and a battery that goes in the bin. Refillable kits let you try many flavours and keep the hardware for months.

Quality-wise, the Nasty name is well-known in UK vaping and the shortfill range is widely stocked, which means you can usually find replacement bottles easily. The sweet flavour profile is polished rather than complicated, which suits some people and not others. We would call it fair value for the amount of liquid and the familiarity of the brand, rather than a bargain at the bottom end.

To get the most from a bottle, keep the cap tight, store it away from heat, use fresh coils, and avoid running the device at the top of its power range. Doing these things stretches both the liquid and the coil life, which has a real effect on your monthly spend.

Honest comparisons with other options

No single e-liquid suits everyone, so here is how Mod Mate Blue Raspberry Bubblegum stacks up against alternatives that UK vapers commonly consider. These are general comparisons, and individual products vary between flavours and batches.

• Versus other 50ml sweet shortfills (such as Doozy Vape Co or Bar Juice 5000): these ranges share the same basic format: 0mg, high-VG, room for shots. Differences come down to flavour tuning and sweetness. Mod Mate leans into simple, recognisable candy profiles. Some competitors push heavier layering or additional ice. If you like a straightforward flavour, this is competitive; if you want complex blends, you may prefer another range.
• Versus ice-led shortfills (such as Dr Frost): those lines usually add a strong cooling effect. Mod Mate Blue Raspberry Bubblegum is not marketed as an ice flavour, so it will taste warmer and sweeter. Choose an ice-led alternative if cooling matters to you.
• Versus dessert shortfills (such as Dinner Lady): dessert liquids focus on creamy, baked or custard flavours. This product is fruit-and-gum candy, so it is lighter and more tart.
• Versus 10ml nicotine salts: salts give a smoother, stronger nicotine hit in small pod devices and are better for tight draws. They cost more per millilitre and are not designed for sub-ohm tanks. Choose a salt if you want maximum convenience and a cigarette-like hit.
• Versus disposables (such as Elf Bar or Lost Mary models): disposables are simple, pocket-sized and ready to use, usually with 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt, the UK maximum. They cost less upfront but more over time, create more waste and cannot be refilled. Mod Mate suits those who want to move to refillable hardware. If you use a disposable, remember to take the empty device to a vape-recycling drop-off point rather than the bin.

On balance, this product is a sensible, accessible choice for sweet-toothed sub-ohm vapers. Its main limits are the high sweetness, the need to own suitable hardware and the extra step of mixing nicotine. If those are not problems for you, it is an easy product to live with. If they are, a different format may serve you better.

We recommend trying a single bottle first. That way you can judge the flavour at your preferred wattage before buying in bulk, which is the most reliable way to know whether a flavour is right for you.
