Mod Mate by Nasty Strawberry Kiwi 50ml: what you are buying

Mod Mate by Nasty 50ML Strawberry Kiwi is a 50ml shortfill e-liquid made for people who vape on sub-ohm tanks and box mods rather than on disposables or small closed pod devices. It combines ripe strawberry with the sharper, slightly tart edge of kiwi fruit, in a high-VG base that is formulated for dense vapour and a smooth, airy draw. The range name tells you the intended pairing: this is a liquid to sit alongside a mod, a refillable tank and a reliable battery.

The liquid is supplied as 50ml of nicotine-free e-liquid in a 60ml bottle. That spare 10ml of space is deliberate. Under UK rules, bottles of nicotine-containing e-liquid are capped at 10ml, so larger volumes are sold as 0mg 'shortfills' and you add nicotine yourself, if you want it, using a separate 10ml nicotine shot. If you vape nicotine-free, you can fill your tank straight from the bottle and carry on.

This guide covers what to expect from Strawberry Kiwi specifically: the flavour, the vapour production, how long a bottle tends to last, which devices suit it, how to mix nicotine safely, and how it compares with other options. We have tried to be straightforward about the trade-offs. A thick, high-VG liquid is not right for every device, and a sweet fruit shortfill is not a shortcut for someone who is still smoking heavily and needs a higher nicotine hit than a sub-ohm setup comfortably delivers.

• Format: 50ml shortfill, 0mg nicotine as supplied, in a 60ml bottle.
• Base: high-VG blend, listed as 70VG/30PG.
• Flavour: strawberry with kiwi.
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks and mesh coils.
• Age restriction: sold to adults aged 18 and over only.

Specifications at a glance

E-liquids have fewer numbers to compare than devices do, but a handful of them decide whether this bottle will work well in your kit. The figures below reflect how the product is sold and the usual behaviour of a liquid in this class. Always check the label on the bottle you receive, because formulations and packaging details can be updated between batches.

• Volume: 50ml of e-liquid in a 60ml bottle, leaving room for one 10ml nicotine shot.
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg/ml. With one 10ml shot of 18mg/ml nicotine added, the finished strength is 3mg/ml.
• VG/PG ratio: 70VG/30PG as listed. VG is vegetable glycerine and PG is propylene glycol.
• Flavour: strawberry and kiwi fruit.
• Device type: sub-ohm tanks and mesh-coil tanks on a box mod or regulated device with enough power output.
• Typical coil range: mesh or wire coils from about 0.15 to 0.6 ohm.
• Typical power range: roughly 30W to 80W, depending on the rating printed on the coil.
• Tank size: tanks sold in the UK hold up to 2ml, so one full bottle refills a standard tank about 25 times.
• Not suited to: low-wattage pod systems, tight mouth-to-lung closed pods and any device whose maker specifies thinner 50/50 liquid only.

The VG/PG split is the most important line on that list. Vegetable glycerine is a thick, slightly sweet liquid that produces dense vapour and a soft throat feel. Propylene glycol is thinner, carries flavour sharply and gives more of a throat hit. A 70VG/30PG blend leans heavily towards vapour and smoothness. In practical terms that means the liquid moves slowly through cotton, so it needs a coil with generous wicking holes and enough power to warm it properly. A coil designed for 50/50 juice at 12W will struggle with it.

The 0mg starting point also matters for your planning. Because nicotine is not included, the finished strength is in your hands, and the arithmetic is covered in the nicotine strength section below. If you never intend to add a shot, the bottle is simply a 50ml fruit liquid with no further steps.

Flavour profile: strawberry and kiwi

Strawberry Kiwi is a straightforward two-fruit combination, and the way the two flavours are balanced is what gives it character. On the inhale, the strawberry arrives first. It reads as sweet and slightly jammy rather than candy-like, closer to a ripe summer strawberry than to a boiled sweet. Partway through the draw the kiwi comes in. Kiwi is the sharper partner here, bringing a green, mildly tart note that stops the strawberry from feeling heavy or cloying. On the exhale the kiwi tends to linger a little longer, leaving a clean, juicy finish with a gentle tang.

There is no added menthol or cooling agent in the description of this flavour, so the vape feels fruity and room-temperature rather than icy. If you like a chilled finish, you can pair the liquid with a lower wattage and cooler-running coil, but you should not expect a cooling effect from the juice itself.

Sweetness sits in the moderate-to-high range, which is typical for fruit shortfills. That has a practical side effect: sweeteners and sugars in the flavouring caramelise on the coil, so a coil used with this kind of liquid usually has a shorter life than one used with a tobacco or unsweetened flavour. Expect to change coils every one to two weeks of regular use, and sooner if you vape at the top of the coil's wattage range.

• At lower power (around 30W to 45W): the strawberry leads, the draw is cooler and the kiwi reads as a light tang.
• At mid power (around 45W to 60W): the two fruits sit in balance and the vapour is warm and full.
• At higher power (above 60W): the kiwi sharpens, the vapour gets hotter, and the sweetness can start to taste slightly toasted on a coil that is nearly spent.

It is worth being honest about the limits of a high-VG fruit liquid. Because VG carries flavour less sharply than PG, the taste is softer and rounder than in a 50/50 liquid. You trade some definition for smoothness and cloud size. People who want bright, punchy fruit may prefer a higher-PG formula, while people who want a mellow, voluminous vape will usually find this balance more comfortable. Flavour perception is subjective, and a description of fruit in an e-liquid is an interpretation rather than a recreation of the real thing.

Finally, vaper's tongue is a real effect. If Strawberry Kiwi tastes muted after several days on one flavour, switching to a different profile for a day or two, drinking water, and fitting a fresh coil will often bring the flavour back.

Performance, vapour and how many puffs to expect

Puff count is a figure that disposable vapes quote, but a refillable e-liquid does not have one fixed number. The honest answer depends on your device, your power setting and your habits. What we can do is give a reasoned estimate so you can judge how far a bottle will go.

A three-second draw on a sub-ohm setup at around 50W uses roughly 0.05ml to 0.1ml of liquid once you allow for the amount absorbed by the cotton and the amount converted to vapour. On that basis, a 50ml bottle gives somewhere in the region of 500 to 1,000 draws. Most people who vape on sub-ohm kit use between 3ml and 6ml per day, which puts the working life of one bottle at roughly 8 to 16 days. A light, occasional user could stretch the same bottle across a month, and a heavy user chain-vaping at high wattage could finish it in under a week. Treat those numbers as a planning range rather than a promise.

Vapour production is the main strength of a 70VG liquid. Vegetable glycerine produces thick, visible clouds, and combined with an open airflow tank and a mesh coil it gives a warm, large-volume inhale. The throat hit is mild at 0mg and at 3mg, which many direct-to-lung vapers find more comfortable than the sharper hit of high-PG liquids.

• Draw style: direct-to-lung, with a slow four to five second inhale at a relaxed pace.
• Throat hit: soft at 0mg and 3mg, noticeably firmer if you take it to 6mg.
• Vapour density: high, with the density rising as power rises within the coil's range.
• Wicking: slower than thin liquids, so give the coil a few seconds between long draws.

Consistency is where thick liquids can catch people out. If you take rapid back-to-back draws, the cotton can dry before it re-saturates, which gives a harsh, slightly burnt taste. The fix is simple: pace your draws, make sure the tank is more than a quarter full, and match the wattage to the coil's printed range. Used that way, the performance is steady from the first fill to the last drop in the bottle.

One more factor is the coil's age. A fresh mesh coil makes the liquid taste its sharpest and produces the densest vapour. As the coil clogs with caramelised sweetener, vapour and flavour fall away gradually, which is the signal to replace it rather than a fault with the juice.

Bottle design and build quality

Because this is an e-liquid, build quality is about the bottle, the cap and the labelling rather than a casing or a battery. The 60ml bottle is a squeezable plastic format with a narrow dropper-style nozzle, which is the usual choice for liquids that are meant to be topped up and shaken. The squeezable wall lets you control the flow into a small tank fill port, and the narrow nozzle reduces the amount that ends up on your fingers and on the outside of the tank.

The cap is a child-resistant closure with a tamper-evident ring. You should see the ring intact when you open the bottle for the first time, and you should not use a bottle where it is broken or missing. The bottle also carries a tactile warning triangle for visually impaired users, which is required on packaging for nicotine-related products, and the label carries the batch details and best-before information you need for traceability.

The labelling on a shortfill follows a specific pattern. It states that the contents are 0mg nicotine, it shows the intended mix ratio if you add a nicotine shot, and it carries a legal health warning. That is worth reading properly, because the arithmetic on the label depends on the strength of the shot you buy.

• Check the seal: make sure the tamper-evident ring is intact before first use.
• Check the headspace: the bottle is filled to 50ml deliberately, so do not top it up beyond the 60ml mark.
• Check the date: the best-before date is on the label and refers to an unopened bottle.
• Shake well: give it a good shake after adding a nicotine shot so the two liquids combine fully.

For storage, keep the bottle upright, in the dark and away from heat and direct sunlight, which degrade e-liquid over time and can darken the colour. A cupboard or drawer is ideal. Keep all e-liquid out of reach of children and pets, because even a nicotine-free liquid is not intended to be swallowed and a liquid with a nicotine shot added is hazardous if ingested or if it contacts skin.

When the bottle is empty, check what your local council accepts for kerbside plastic recycling. Some councils take rinsed plastic bottles, others want e-liquid containers in general waste, and a bottle that has held nicotine should be fully emptied. Do not rinse residue down a drain in large quantities. Your council's recycling guidance is the definitive answer for your postcode.

Devices, battery, charging and coil technology

A shortfill like this is only as good as the device it runs in. Mod Mate is formulated for sub-ohm vaping, so the sensible pairing is a box mod or a regulated vape with a sub-ohm or mesh tank. The battery and the coil together decide how well the liquid performs.

Coils. For a 70VG liquid, mesh coils are the most reliable match. Mesh gives a large wicking and heating area, which handles thick liquid and spreads heat evenly. Common mesh coils run between 0.15 and 0.2 ohm at roughly 40W to 80W. Round-wire coils at 0.3 to 0.5 ohm also work, at around 30W to 60W, and give a slightly cooler draw. Look for coils with large wicking holes, and always stay inside the wattage range printed on the coil. Prime each new coil by dripping liquid directly onto the cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank, and wait five to ten minutes before firing. Skipping that step is the usual cause of a burnt first hit.

Batteries. Box mods generally take one or two removable 18650 or 21700 cells. Cells in this class usually carry between about 2,500mAh and 5,000mAh each, and the continuous discharge rating matters more than the capacity figure for sub-ohm use. Integrated-battery mods typically carry between roughly 1,500mAh and 3,000mAh and are charged through a USB-C port. Capacity decides how long the device lasts between charges. A heavy sub-ohm user may get through a single mid-size battery in a day, while a lighter user may stretch it across two.

• Use only the charger and cable supplied by the device maker, or a quality charger made for the cell type.
• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, and never leave a battery charging unattended or overnight.
• Do not carry loose cells in a pocket with keys or coins. Use a plastic case.
• Replace a battery wrap that is torn, and retire any cell that is dented, hot in use or swollen.

Recycling. Never put vape devices or lithium cells in household bins or kerbside recycling, because crushed batteries cause fires in collection lorries and sorting plants. Many supermarkets have battery collection bins near the entrance, household waste recycling centres accept small electricals and batteries, and retailers that sell vaping products are expected to offer a take-back route for old devices. Single-use vapes are no longer sold in the UK following the ban that took effect in June 2025, which is another reason a refillable setup is the practical route for new vapers.

Nicotine strength guidance and the 20mg UK limit

This bottle contains no nicotine as supplied, so strength is a decision you make when you mix. In the UK, the maximum permitted nicotine strength for e-liquid is 20mg/ml. That cap applies across the market, including nicotine salt liquids and the vapes that were previously sold as disposables. A shortfill sits well beneath it, because the 50ml in the bottle is nicotine-free and only a shot raises the strength.

The maths is simple: finished strength equals the shot strength multiplied by the shot volume, divided by the total volume in the bottle. A standard UK nicotine shot is 10ml at 18mg/ml, although 20mg/ml shots exist, so check what you buy.

• 0mg: use the liquid as supplied. No nicotine.
• 3mg/ml: add one 10ml shot of 18mg/ml to the 50ml. That is 180mg in 60ml, which gives 3mg/ml. This is what the bottle is sized for.
• 6mg/ml: pour about 10ml of liquid out of the bottle, then add two 10ml shots of 18mg/ml. That is 360mg in 60ml, which gives 6mg/ml, and the bottle is full without overflowing.
• Shots of 20mg/ml: one shot in 60ml gives about 3.3mg/ml. Use the same formula to work out other combinations.

Which strength is right for you is partly about how you vape. Sub-ohm devices deliver a large amount of vapour per draw, so a lower strength is usually enough. Many people who vape on sub-ohm kit settle between 0mg and 6mg, and anyone moving from smoking at a heavy rate may find that 3mg leaves them wanting more. If that is your situation, it is worth being realistic: a high-VG fruit juice at low strength may not satisfy a high nicotine need, and a nicotine salt liquid in a lower-power pod device is often a better fit. This is general product information, not medical advice.

Signs that the strength is too high include nausea, dizziness, headaches, a racing heart, sweating and an unpleasantly harsh throat. If you notice those, stop vaping, drink water, and drop to a lower strength next time. Nicotine is addictive. Non-smokers and anyone under 18 should not start vaping, and anyone who is pregnant or has a heart condition should speak to a doctor first. The NHS stop smoking service offers free support if you want to move away from tobacco.

Who Mod Mate Strawberry Kiwi is for

This liquid suits a fairly specific group, and it is better to be clear about it than to suggest it fits everyone.

It is a good match for:

• Adults who already use a sub-ohm tank or box mod and want a fruit flavour for daily use.
• Direct-to-lung vapers who like thick, warm vapour and a soft throat feel.
• People who like to control their own nicotine strength, including those who want to run it at 0mg.
• Vapers who go through a few millilitres a day and want the lower cost per millilitre that a 50ml bottle offers compared with 10ml bottles.
• Anyone who wants a straightforward two-fruit flavour without menthol, dessert or sweets layered on top.

It is probably not for:

• Anyone under 18, and anyone who does not currently smoke or vape. Vaping is for adult smokers looking for an alternative, not for people who have never used nicotine.
• Users of low-wattage pod kits and closed pod systems. A 70VG liquid is too thick for most pod coils, which can lead to dry hits, leaking and a shortened coil life.
• People who want a no-setup device. A shortfill needs a refillable tank, a charger, spare coils and a nicotine shot if you want nicotine, which is more to manage than a pre-filled pod.
• Vapers who need a high nicotine strength. Reaching more than about 6mg/ml in a 70VG shortfill means diluting the flavour, and nicotine salt liquids are designed for that need.
• Anyone who prefers menthol, ice, tobacco or dessert flavours. This is a fruit profile and does not offer a cooling finish.

There is also a middle group worth mentioning: people who are new to sub-ohm devices. Strawberry Kiwi is approachable because the flavour is familiar and the throat hit is mild, but the setup takes some learning. Priming coils, matching wattage and managing the nic shot are small skills that are easy to pick up with a little patience. If you prefer to be guided, the manual for your tank and the coil packaging give the correct wattage range for each coil, and following them avoids most early problems.

If you are unsure whether a shortfill fits your device, check the maker's guidance for your tank. If the instructions mention a maximum VG percentage, treat that as the limit and choose a liquid that stays within it.

How to mix, fill and use it

Setting up a shortfill is a short routine once you have done it a couple of times. Work on a clean, flat surface and wash your hands first.

• Step 1, decide on strength. If you want 0mg, skip to filling. For 3mg, buy one 10ml 18mg nicotine shot. For 6mg, buy two and pour out roughly 10ml first, as set out in the strength section.
• Step 2, open the bottle. Press down on the child-resistant cap while turning it, then remove the cap. Some bottles have a nozzle insert that you leave in place and some need it removed. Follow the guidance on the packaging.
• Step 3, add the shot. Pour or squeeze the contents of the nicotine shot into the bottle. Refit the cap tightly, and check that it is sealed.
• Step 4, shake. Shake for about 20 to 30 seconds. Many people leave the mix for a few hours or overnight, which helps the blend settle, although it is not strictly necessary.
• Step 5, fill the tank. Fill through the designated fill port, stopping below the central airflow tube. Do not overfill, because excess liquid will flood the coil and leak.
• Step 6, prime the coil. Drip a few drops onto the cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank, and wait five to ten minutes before the first draw.
• Step 7, set the power. Start in the lower half of the range printed on the coil, take a few test draws, and raise the wattage in small steps until the flavour is full without a hot or harsh edge.
• Step 8, vape. Take slow, steady draws of three to five seconds, direct to lung, and pause between long strings of puffs.

Label any bottle you have mixed with nicotine, keep it away from children, and do not mix different strengths in the same bottle without checking the arithmetic. Handle nicotine shots with care: wipe any spills at once, and wash skin that has come into contact with the liquid. Store the mixed bottle upright in a cool place and use it within a few months of opening to keep the flavour true, because exposure to air and light slowly changes the taste.

To change coils, empty or drain the tank, unscrew the old coil, fit the new one and repeat the priming step. Clean the tank threads with a dry cloth, because residue there can cause poor contact and a weak or flickering output. If you switch to another flavour, flushing the tank with warm water and drying it fully avoids a muddy blend of old and new tastes.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with sub-ohm vaping come down to a handful of causes. This list covers the ones people report most often with a thick, sweet liquid like this one.

• Burnt or dry taste: usually an unprimed coil, a tank that is nearly empty, or wattage set above the coil's range. Refill the tank, let the coil soak for five minutes, and drop the power. If the taste persists, the coil is spent and needs replacing.
• Gurgling or spitting: often caused by overfilling or by condensation in the airflow channel. Remove the tank, tip excess liquid out, and wipe the chimney.
• Leaking from the tank: check that the coil is screwed in fully, the O-rings are seated, the tank is not overfilled and the airflow slots are not blocked with liquid. A thick liquid on a coil with oversized holes can also seep, so a smaller-hole coil may help.
• Muted flavour: may be vaper's tongue or a clogged coil. Change flavour for a day, drink water, and fit a fresh coil before assuming the liquid is the cause.
• Throat is too harsh: lower the power, reduce the nicotine strength, and open the airflow slightly. High nicotine on a sub-ohm device feels harsh quickly.
• Weak vapour: check the battery charge, the coil's age, and whether the wicking holes are clear. Thick liquid can starve a coil if you chain-vape.
• Sticky residue on the tank and device: VG and sweeteners leave a film. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry the contacts completely before reattaching.
• Crackling or popping: a sign of excess liquid on the coil or a coil that needs replacing. Fire it a few times with the tank off and wipe the base.
• Cloudy or separated liquid after adding a shot: shake the bottle thoroughly and let it rest for several hours. If separation persists, the batch may have been mixed incorrectly, and you should not use it.
• Device will not fire: check that it is switched on, charged, the coil is seated and the contacts are clean. If the device shows a short-circuit or low resistance message, remove the coil and refit it.

A short note on safety: if a battery becomes hot, swells, hisses or smells of chemicals, stop using the device, move it away from anything flammable and take it to a recycling point once it has cooled. Do not keep using a damaged cell. If liquid leaks onto your skin, wash it off with soap and water, and if you swallow e-liquid or it gets into your eyes, seek medical advice.

If none of these steps help, the quickest check is to try the same liquid in a different tank or on a fresh coil. That separates a device problem from a liquid problem, and in almost every case it points to the coil.

Value for money

Value in e-liquid comes down to cost per millilitre, how long a bottle lasts, and how many hidden extras you have to buy. A 50ml shortfill costs more than a single 10ml bottle, but its price per millilitre is typically lower, which is why shortfills dominate sub-ohm vaping. Check the current price on this page, as bundle offers and multi-buy discounts change from time to time.

Here is a way to work out your own figures. Divide the bottle price by 50 to get the price per millilitre. Multiply that by your daily use, which for most sub-ohm vapers is 3ml to 6ml, to get a daily cost. Add the cost of the nicotine shot if you use one, and divide it across the full 60ml bottle. Then add the coil cost, because a coil that lasts one to two weeks adds a small but real amount to every bottle.

• Upfront: the bottle plus a nicotine shot if you want nicotine.
• Recurring: a fresh coil roughly every week or two, and occasionally a replacement cell or glass.
• Time: a few minutes to mix and prime, which a pre-filled pod does not require.
• Lifespan: about 8 to 16 days at moderate use, based on the estimate earlier in this guide.

It is also worth comparing against the cost of smoking. Even with coils and nicotine shots included, a sub-ohm setup is usually much cheaper per week than a pack-a-day habit, though the exact saving depends on what you pay for tobacco and how you vape. Against a nicotine salt pod system, the ongoing cost is similar or slightly lower, but the device itself costs more to buy, so the saving appears over months rather than weeks.

Where the value is weaker: if you vape very little, a 50ml bottle takes a long time to finish and the flavour will age, in which case a 10ml bottle may suit you better. If you plan to run high nicotine, the 10ml nic salt format is usually more economical because you are not paying for 50ml of flavour that you have to dilute. If you try new flavours often, a 50ml commitment to a single flavour can feel large.

In short, the value argument is strongest for steady daily users on sub-ohm kit who like fruit flavours and are happy to mix their own strength. For occasional users and for pod users, other formats make more sense, as the comparison below explains.

How it compares with other options

The right comparison depends on what you are choosing between, and Mod Mate Strawberry Kiwi does not beat every alternative in every situation.

• Other 50ml fruit shortfills: most share the same format and similar 70VG blends, so the choice mostly comes down to flavour and price. The Mod Mate range is aimed at the straightforward fruit end of the market, with recognisable combinations rather than complex layered recipes. If you prefer dessert, sweets or an icy finish, another range will suit you better.
• 10ml nicotine salt liquids: these are thinner, 50/50 style liquids, made for pod kits and low-power devices, and are sold at strengths up to the UK cap of 20mg/ml. They deliver nicotine more efficiently at low power and are the better route for people who need a stronger hit. They produce less vapour and are not designed for sub-ohm tanks.
• 10ml freebase 50/50 liquids: better for mouth-to-lung devices, with sharper flavour and a firmer throat hit. They produce much less vapour than a 70VG shortfill on a sub-ohm tank, but they can be easier to use in basic starter kits.
• Pre-filled pods: simple, with no mixing and no priming. They offer less flavour choice and a higher ongoing cost per millilitre. They are a sensible option if convenience matters more than customisation.
• Disposable vapes: single-use vapes can no longer be sold in the UK since the June 2025 ban. Even before the ban, they carried the UK nicotine cap of 20mg/ml and a high environmental cost, with many ending up in general waste instead of a recycling point. A refillable setup produces far less waste over time.

Where Strawberry Kiwi does well is as a dependable, familiar fruit liquid for a sub-ohm device. Two-fruit blends are a safe choice because they are easy to enjoy all day, and the tart kiwi keeps the strawberry from becoming sickly over a long session. Where it falls short is that it asks you to own the right kit, mix nicotine yourself, and accept a thicker liquid that demands a suitable coil. If you want something you can use straight out of the box, it is not that.

A final point on UK rules: all e-liquid sold here must meet product and labelling requirements, including the 20mg/ml nicotine cap, the 10ml bottle limit for nicotine-containing liquids, the 2ml tank limit, child-resistant and tamper-evident packaging, and an age limit of 18. Shortfills sidestep the 10ml bottle limit by being nicotine-free until you add a shot. Buying from a UK retailer that checks age and uses properly labelled stock is the straightforward way to be sure you are getting a product that follows those rules.
