ModThe Mango Ice Mod Mate by Nasty 50ML by Mod in Mango Ice at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Mod Mate by Nasty 50ML Mango Ice is a nicotine-free shortfill e-liquid built around ripe mango with a cool, menthol-style finish. It belongs to the Mod Mate range from Nasty, a line of high-VG liquids made for sub-ohm tanks and higher-wattage devices rather than the tight-draw pod kits that suit nicotine salts. The bottle holds 50ml of liquid inside a 60ml bottle, so there is room to add one 10ml nicotine shot if you want nicotine in the mix, or you can vape it at 0mg if you prefer no nicotine at all.
This guide is written for UK vapers. It covers what the liquid does well, where it is limited, and how to get consistent results from it. We look at vapour production and how long a bottle lasts, the flavour in detail, bottle design, the device and battery side you need to pair it with, coil choices, nicotine strengths and mixing, who it suits, how to fill and use it, how to fix common problems, and how it compares with alternatives on value.
A quick note on terminology. Unlike a disposable vape, this product has no battery, no coil and no mouthpiece. It is e-liquid only. You need a refillable device, which is an advantage for many people: you choose the hardware, you swap coils when they wear out, and the running cost per millilitre is usually lower. Since 1 June 2025 single-use disposable vapes can no longer be legally supplied in the UK, so refillable kits and bottled liquid are now the normal route for adult vapers who want a fruit and ice flavour.
The short version of what to expect:
If you are new to shortfills, the sections on nicotine strength and on how to use the liquid walk through the mixing step by step. If you already vape sub-ohm, you can skip straight to the flavour, coil and value sections.
The numbers below are the ones that matter when you are deciding whether Mod Mate Mango Ice fits your device and your habits. Where a figure can vary between batches or retailers, we say so rather than guess, and you should always check the label on the bottle you receive.
On nicotine arithmetic, here is how a single 10ml shot changes the mix once it goes into the 60ml bottle. A 10ml shot at 18mg/ml adds 180mg of nicotine across 60ml, giving about 3mg/ml. A 10ml shot at 20mg/ml adds 200mg, giving about 3.3mg/ml. A 10ml shot at 10mg/ml adds 100mg, giving about 1.7mg/ml. Those figures assume the shot is topped up fully into the bottle, which is the whole point of the 10ml headroom.
UK rules shape what you can buy. Nicotine-containing e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, and nicotine liquids are sold in bottles of no more than 10ml, which is why a shortfill ships without nicotine and the shot arrives separately. That 20mg/ml ceiling is the same one disposable vapes were held to before the single-use ban, but a shortfill with one shot added ends up a long way beneath it.
The 70/30 style blend is the reason this liquid works in sub-ohm kit. Vegetable glycerine is thick, so it needs a coil with wide wicking channels and enough heat to vaporise it quickly. A tank built for thin liquids will struggle, and a closed pod with a narrow wick can leak, gurgle or starve the coil.
Mango Ice is a straightforward flavour on paper, and the quality of a mango e-liquid comes down to how well the fruit is balanced against sweetness and cooling. In this bottle the mango leads. On the inhale you get a soft, ripe, slightly tropical fruit note, closer to a sweet fresh mango than to a sharp or sour one. There is a rounded sweetness behind it, but it does not tip into a sugary, cloying finish in the way some dessert-style liquids can.
The ice element comes in mostly on the exhale. It is a clean cooling sensation across the tongue and the back of the throat rather than a heavy menthol blast. If you are used to strong freeze flavours, you may find it gentle; if you normally avoid menthol, you will probably still find it comfortable. The cooling does not mask the fruit, which means the mango stays recognisable from the first puff of a tank to the last.
What to expect across a session:
Power and airflow change the way the flavour comes across. Lower wattage on a mesh coil keeps the mango rounder and sweeter with a softer cooling. Pushing the wattage up makes the vapour warmer and thicker, and the ice character tends to read as less pronounced because heat dulls the sensation. Opening the airflow dilutes the flavour slightly in exchange for cooler vapour; closing it down concentrates the fruit but can make the vapour feel warm.
Nicotine also shapes flavour. At 0mg the liquid tastes at its cleanest and sweetest. Adding a 3mg shot gives a slightly firmer throat hit that sits comfortably alongside the cooling note, so most people who add a shot find the flavour largely unchanged, with a touch more bite at the back of the throat on the exhale.
As with any fruit liquid, taste fatigue is real. If you vape the same flavour all day, your palate can dull to it after a few days, and the mango may seem less vivid. Keeping a second flavour in rotation, or swapping to a clean coil, usually brings the taste back to where it started.
Because Mod Mate is an e-liquid, performance depends on pairing it with a sensible device. Used on a sub-ohm tank with a mesh coil, the high-VG base produces dense, smooth clouds with a soft throat feel. This is the style of vaping often called direct-to-lung, where you draw the vapour straight into the lungs through a wide airflow path, and it is the style the Mod Mate range is formulated for.
How long a bottle lasts is the most practical way to think about performance. Sub-ohm vapers commonly use somewhere between 2ml and 5ml of liquid a day. At 3ml a day, a 50ml bottle lasts around 16 days; at 5ml a day, about 10 days; at 2ml a day, around 25 days. Your own figure depends on coil resistance, power, how often you vape and how long each draw lasts.
As a rough working guide, sub-ohm devices give somewhere in the region of 100 to 200 draws per millilitre, which puts a 50ml bottle at roughly 5,000 to 10,000 draws. Treat that as an estimate, not a promise: puff length, wattage and coil age all move the number. Because there is no fixed puff count on a bottle of liquid, the most practical measure is how many days a bottle lasts in your own device.
Wicking matters more than wattage. Thick liquid moves into a coil more slowly than thin liquid, so a coil that is too small for its power rating can outrun its supply and produce dry, burnt-tasting hits. If you notice a harsh edge, lower the power by 5W to 10W before you blame the liquid, and give the coil a few seconds between long draws.
For people moving from a pod kit, the biggest change is volume. A sub-ohm setup produces much more vapour per draw than a salt pod, and the liquid is used faster as a result. That is why a 50ml bottle is the standard size for this style of vaping: it is the quantity you actually go through, instead of the 10ml you would burn through in a few days.
The coil is where Mod Mate Mango Ice either performs or doesn't. A high-VG liquid needs a coil with generous wicking area and enough surface to heat the liquid evenly, and that is what mesh coils are designed to provide. Instead of a round wire wrapped around cotton, a mesh coil uses a flat sheet of woven metal lined with cotton, which gives a much larger heating surface and a more even vaporisation.
Benefits of mesh with a liquid like this:
Typical coil choices for this liquid:
Always check the wattage range printed on the coil and run inside it. A coil marked for 40W to 60W will usually taste balanced near the middle, and pushing to the top of the range usually shortens its life without improving flavour. Prime every new coil by dripping a few drops of liquid onto the cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank, and let it stand for five to ten minutes before you press the fire button. Skipping that step is the most common cause of a burnt first hit.
Coil life varies. For fruit and ice liquids with moderate sweetener, expect roughly one to three weeks from a coil at normal use. Heavily sweetened liquids shorten that; so do high power settings, chain vaping and dry draws. When the flavour goes flat, the vapour thins, or you notice a muted, slightly burnt edge that does not clear after a couple of tank refills, it is time to change the coil. Rinsing the tank when you swap coils helps keep fruit flavours bright.
Mod Mate Mango Ice ships at 0mg, so the first question is whether you want nicotine at all. This section is general information for adult vapers and is not medical advice. If you do not currently use nicotine, you do not need to start, and the 0mg liquid works as supplied.
If you do want nicotine, the shortfill system lets you choose a level by adding shots. Here is how the standard options work in the 60ml bottle:
Going higher is harder. Reaching around 5mg with 18mg shots means adding two shots, which brings the total to 70ml, so you would need to pour the liquid into a larger empty bottle such as a 100ml bottle to mix it properly. At that point many people find it easier to switch to a nicotine salt liquid in a pod device, because salts deliver nicotine more efficiently at lower power.
Some practical rules of thumb for choosing a level:
UK law caps nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20mg/ml, and shots are sold at 10ml volumes, so the final mix in a shortfill bottle always lands well beneath that ceiling. Do not mix shots into an already-partly-used bottle without working out the total volume first, as the strength will be off. Nicotine is addictive, and e-liquid is not intended for non-smokers, under-18s, pregnant women or people with certain heart conditions. If you are using vaping to quit smoking, UK stop smoking services can help alongside vaping.
With e-liquid the packaging is part of the product. The Mod Mate Mango Ice bottle follows the standard layout for UK shortfills: a soft plastic 60ml bottle that holds 50ml of liquid, topped by a narrow nozzle and a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap. The headroom is deliberate, as it lets you add a 10ml nicotine shot without decanting or pouring anything away.
The soft plastic matters for refilling. You squeeze the bottle gently and the liquid comes out in a controlled stream, which makes it easier to fill a tank without spilling. The narrow nozzle fits the filling ports on most sub-ohm tanks, though some tanks with very small top-fill holes are fussier than others. If your tank has a tiny port, hold the bottle at an angle and squeeze slowly, or use a bottle with a longer fine tip.
Things worth checking when your bottle arrives:
A few care tips keep the liquid in good condition. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, away from windows, heaters and cars, because light and heat degrade nicotine and flavouring over time and can darken the liquid. Wipe the nozzle after filling so the cap does not stick, and keep the bottle somewhere out of reach of children and pets. E-liquid in the mouth or on the skin can be harmful, so if there is a spill, wipe it off straight away and wash your hands.
When the bottle is empty, rinse and recycle it with other plastics where your local council accepts them, and check the council website for the exact guidance on small bottles. Empty nicotine shot bottles should be treated the same way. This keeps the plastic out of general waste and is one of the simple ways to reduce the footprint of a refillable setup.
Mod Mate Mango Ice has no battery, since it is a liquid. But the device you use does, and the battery decides whether the liquid performs the way it should. This section explains what to look for and how to look after it.
Common battery setups for sub-ohm vaping:
Rough battery life depends on wattage. A 3,000mAh cell at 40W gives most vapers a day of normal use; at 70W to 80W you will want a spare or a two-cell device. If your battery is draining unusually fast, check that the coil is not too low in resistance for the setting you have chosen, as that pulls harder on the cell.
Charging tips that apply to any device:
When devices and batteries reach the end of their life, they should not go in household waste or the recycling bin. Lithium cells can cause fires in bin lorries and waste sites. Retailers who sell vapes are required to take back old vapes and batteries, and local council recycling centres and many supermarket battery banks have drop-off points for small electricals and cells. Search for your nearest vape or battery recycling drop-off point before you throw anything away.
The people who tend to get on well with this liquid are adults who already vape, or who are switching from smoking, and who use a sub-ohm tank or a similar device with decent airflow. If you like fruit flavours with a cooling finish, and you value big vapour over a tight, cigarette-like draw, this style of liquid fits the way you vape.
It tends to suit:
It is probably not the right choice for:
If you are not sure which side of the line you fall on, look at your device. If the tank can take coils rated for 40W or above and has a fill port of 4mm or wider, you are in the right territory. If your device is a small pen or a closed pod, a different liquid format is more suitable. It is also worth keeping an eye on how you vape over the first week; if you are using much more liquid or nicotine than you expected, adjust the strength rather than increasing the amount.
Finally, if you are vaping to stop smoking, the evidence from UK health bodies supports vaping with nicotine alongside behavioural support as a route to stopping. That is a good reason to choose a strength that actually satisfies you at the start, then step down over time.
Setting up a shortfill is quick, and doing it properly makes a noticeable difference to how the liquid vapes. Follow these steps the first time, and then use them as a habit for every bottle.
The steps below are listed in order.
Steeping is a word often used for shortfills. This liquid is ready to vape straight away, but a few days of rest in a cool, dark cupboard with the cap on can soften the flavour slightly and help the nicotine blend, especially after adding a shot. It is optional, not essential.
Vaping tips for the first tank:
Always keep the bottle upright, label it with the date and any nicotine you added, and keep it out of reach of children.
Most problems people blame on the liquid are actually device or coil issues. Work through the list below before assuming something is wrong with the bottle.
If your device displays an error such as short circuit or check atomiser, remove the tank, clean the contact points on the coil and the device with a dry cotton bud, refit, and try again. If it keeps happening, the coil may be damaged and should be replaced.
When a bottle itself appears defective, for example a damaged seal, a leaking cap, or a missing label, stop using it and contact the retailer you bought it from. Keep the batch number from the label and photographs of the problem; they make a claim quicker. Do not return or reseal any bottle that has been opened and used for hygiene reasons, but faulty or damaged goods are covered by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
If you ever experience persistent coughing, chest tightness, or other symptoms you are worried about, stop vaping and speak to a pharmacist or GP.
Value in e-liquid comes down to cost per millilitre, how long a bottle lasts, and how much you spend on coils to go with it. A 50ml shortfill has a lower cost per ml than a 10ml nicotine bottle in most cases, though you have to factor in the nicotine shot if you add one.
Here is an illustrative calculation, with made-up round numbers so you can plug in the real ones from the product page. If a 50ml shortfill plus a nicotine shot came to £14 for 60ml, that is roughly 23p per ml. If you use 3ml a day, the daily liquid cost is about 70p. A 10ml nicotine salt bottle at £3.50 works out at 35p per ml, and at the same 3ml a day would cost over £1 a day. The gap is not always as wide as that, but the direction is typical: a larger bottle costs less per ml.
Do not forget the hardware side:
Disposables used to be the cheap, convenient option, but since the 1 June 2025 ban on single-use vapes in the UK that option has gone, and in cost terms a refillable kit generally works out cheaper over a month anyway. A disposable that was capped at 20mg/ml and about 2ml of liquid held far less than a 50ml bottle, and you threw away the battery with it.
Is Mod Mate Mango Ice good value? It sits in the mainstream range for 50ml shortfills. You are paying for a recognisable branded range and a fruit and ice profile that has been well received by vapers who like this type of flavour, rather than for a premium boutique brand. If you have a tight budget, the cheapest 50ml bottles from lesser-known brands can cost less, but flavour consistency and batch quality are less predictable. Watching for multi-buy deals is the simplest way to cut the cost per bottle, and several bottles bought together usually offset the delivery charge.
A fair comparison needs the right comparison group. Mod Mate Mango Ice competes with other 50ml shortfills, with 10ml nicotine salt bottles, and with the refillable pod kits that replaced disposables. Here is how it fits against each, without claiming it is better than all of them.
Against other 50ml shortfill ranges. Plenty of brands sell a mango ice shortfill, including ranges from Dinner Lady, Ohm Boy, Pukka Juice and others. They differ mostly in sweetness, cooling intensity and how much the mango tastes like fresh fruit versus candy. Mod Mate Mango Ice sits toward the juicy, moderately sweet end with a gentle cooling finish. If you prefer a very sweet candy mango, or a stronger menthol hit, another range may suit you better. If you like the fruit leading, this is a sensible option to try.
Against 10ml nicotine salt liquids. Salts, usually sold at 10mg/ml or 20mg/ml, are designed for pods and low-power devices. They give a more satisfying nicotine hit at small volumes, which suits people who need stronger nicotine without large clouds. A shortfill is better if you like big vapour and lower nicotine, and it costs less per ml. If you need a higher strength, a salt is the more practical choice.
Against refillable pod kits. Pod kits are compact and discreet and often use nicotine salt. They cannot always take thick high-VG liquid without leaking, so a 70VG liquid like this is a poor match unless the manufacturer says the pod supports it. A sub-ohm tank is a bulkier setup but gets more from this kind of liquid.
Summary of where it stands:
The honest advice: if you own a sub-ohm tank and want an everyday fruit and ice flavour at a modest nicotine level, this is a reasonable choice that is easy to mix and easy to live with. If your device or nicotine needs are different, choose the format that matches your kit before you pick a flavour.

The bottle ships at 0mg, so you decide whether to add a shot. One 10ml 18mg shot gives about 3mg/ml, which is the usual starting point for sub-ohm vaping. If you do not use nicotine, leave it at 0mg. UK rules cap nicotine e-liquid at 20mg/ml, and a single shot in this bottle ends up well beneath that.
No, it is e-liquid only, so there is no battery in the bottle. Charge your own device with the supplied USB-C cable and a standard adapter, never leave it charging unattended, and stop using any battery that is hot or swollen. Old vapes and cells should go to a vape-recycling drop-off point, not the household bin.
You can mix it with other liquids if they share a similar VG/PG balance, but results vary and the result may taste muddy. The Mod Mate range comes in several other flavours, so check the product listings if you want something different. Mixing nicotine shots is straightforward, but mixing flavours is at your own discretion.
It depends on your device and habits. At 2ml a day it lasts about 25 days, at 3ml a day about 16 days, and at 5ml a day about 10 days. As a rough guide, a 50ml bottle gives somewhere around 5,000 to 10,000 draws on a sub-ohm tank, though power, draw length and coil age all affect it.
Per millilitre, a 50ml shortfill is usually cheaper than a 10ml nicotine salt, and refillable kits generally cost less over a month than the single-use vapes that were banned in the UK from 1 June 2025. Add the cost of coils and any nicotine shot to get the true figure. Multi-buy deals bring the price down further.
It suits adult vapers with a sub-ohm tank who like fruit and gentle cooling flavours and want a low nicotine level or none. It is not for under-18s, non-smokers, or anyone using a small closed pod kit. If you need a higher nicotine strength, a 10ml nicotine salt is usually more practical.
Sub-ohm tanks and adjustable-airflow systems with coils between about 0.15 and 0.6 ohm, running roughly 30W to 80W, are a good fit. Mesh coils work particularly well with its high-VG base. Avoid tight closed pods and very low-power pen kits, which can leak or struggle to wick the thick liquid.
Yes. Vaping products are restricted to adults aged 18 and over, and the retailer may ask for age verification at checkout or on delivery. Check the delivery page at checkout for current options, costs and timescales, and make sure someone aged 18 or over is available to receive the parcel.
Contact the retailer straight away with your order number, the batch number from the label and photos. Faulty or damaged goods are covered by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. For hygiene and safety reasons, opened and used e-liquid is generally not accepted for change-of-mind returns, so check the store's returns policy for details.
Rinse the empty plastic bottle and recycle it where your local council accepts small plastics. Do not put vapes, coils with batteries or lithium cells in household waste or kerbside recycling. Take them to a vape-recycling drop-off point, such as a retailer take-back scheme, a council recycling centre or a supermarket battery bin.
