Nasty Ballin 50ml Passion Kill at a glance

Nasty Ballin 50ml Passion Kill is a nicotine-free shortfill e-liquid from Nasty, built around a passion fruit flavour profile. It is supplied as 50ml of liquid in a 60ml bottle, which leaves room for one 10ml nicotine shot if you want to bring the finished bottle up to a low nicotine strength. The formula is high-VG, which suits sub-ohm tanks and refillable pod systems that can handle thicker liquid.

Because this is an e-liquid rather than a ready-made device, there is no built-in battery, no fixed puff count and no pre-installed coil. What you buy is the flavour, and you choose the hardware that delivers it. That is the main appeal of shortfills: you decide on the device, the power level and the nicotine strength, and you only pay for the liquid itself.

• Product type: 50ml shortfill e-liquid, 0mg nicotine as supplied
• Bottle size: 60ml bottle holding 50ml of liquid, with space for a 10ml nicotine shot
• Base: high-VG blend (check the batch label for the exact VG/PG split on the bottle you receive)
• Flavour family: fruit, passion fruit led
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks and pod kits with larger-bore mesh coils
• Not for: anyone under 18, and anyone who does not already smoke or vape

A quick note on UK rules, because they explain why shortfills look the way they do. Nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml and sold in bottles of no more than 10ml. Nicotine-free liquid is not subject to the 10ml bottle limit, which is why a 50ml liquid volume in a 60ml bottle can be sold legally, with nicotine added separately by the customer if they want it. The same 20mg/ml ceiling applies to every nicotine product sold here, including the pod liquids and disposables that used to dominate the market. Since 1 June 2025 the sale of single-use disposable vapes has been prohibited under UK environmental regulations, which has pushed a lot of adult vapers back towards refillable kits and bottled liquid like this one.

The rest of this guide covers how the liquid is likely to perform, what it tastes like, which hardware to pair it with, how to add nicotine safely, what to do when something goes wrong and how it stacks up against other 50ml options. Where we cannot verify a detail, such as the exact VG/PG ratio on a particular batch, we say so rather than guess.

Performance and vapour delivery

Performance with any shortfill comes down to three things: the thickness of the liquid, the coil in your tank and the power you run it at. Passion Kill is a high-VG liquid, so it produces dense, soft vapour and is designed for the wattages that suit sub-ohm coils. In practice that usually means a mesh coil in the 0.15 to 0.4 ohm range at roughly 40 to 70 watts, although you should always follow the wattage range printed on the coil itself rather than a general rule of thumb.

There is no fixed puff count for a bottle of e-liquid in the way there is for a pre-filled device, because consumption depends entirely on your habits. As a rough planning figure, direct-lung vapers on a sub-ohm tank often get through somewhere between 3ml and 6ml a day, which would put a 50ml bottle at around eight to seventeen days. Lighter users on a pod kit running at lower wattage may use 1ml to 2ml a day and stretch the same bottle across several weeks. If you prefer to think in puffs, a very approximate range is 60 to 150 puffs per millilitre in a sub-ohm setup, so 50ml could cover something in the region of 3,000 to 7,500 puffs. Treat that as a ballpark, not a promise, because puff length and wattage change the answer a lot.

• Vapour density: high-VG liquids make noticeably thicker vapour than 50/50 blends at the same wattage
• Throat hit: gentle at 0mg and still mild at 3mg, in line with a smooth direct-lung vape
• Wicking: thicker liquid needs coils with generous wicking holes, and a mesh coil designed for sub-ohm use copes well
• Flavour versus power: pushing the wattage to the top of the coil's range tends to flatten fruit notes and bring out heat, so the middle of the range usually tastes cleaner

Consistency is another point worth mentioning. A bottle of shortfill is filled and sealed as a single batch, so the first fill and the last fill taste the same as long as the coil is healthy. That is a different experience to a pre-filled device, where flavour can drift as the battery sags and the coil ages. With a refillable tank you control that by changing the coil on a sensible schedule and keeping the battery charged.

If you are moving from a pod system with a tighter draw, expect a looser, airier inhale with this kind of setup. If you are not sure, start at the lower end of the coil's wattage range and move up in small steps of two or three watts until the flavour sits where you like it. Sweet fruit liquids in particular reward patience, because a few watts either way can change how tart or sweet the passion fruit comes across.

Flavour profile: what to expect from Passion Kill

As the name suggests, Passion Kill is a passion fruit e-liquid. Passion fruit is a flavour that sits between sweet and sharp: it has a perfumed, tropical aroma, a juicy middle and a slightly tart finish that stops it tasting flat or sugary. Nasty's Ballin range leans towards bold, straightforward fruit rather than layered dessert blends, and Passion Kill fits that approach. We have not listed secondary notes here because the exact recipe is the manufacturer's, so check the product description and the bottle label for anything additional that the brand states.

Here is how a passion fruit liquid of this type generally behaves across a vape:

• Inhale: a fresh, fruity opening with the tropical, slightly floral character that passion fruit is known for
• Middle of the draw: a rounded sweetness that carries the fruit, helped along by the high-VG base
• Exhale: a tangy, juicy finish that lingers briefly on the palate without turning heavy or syrupy
• Aftertaste: light and fruity, with no pronounced menthol or cooling effect unless the label states one

Temperature changes the picture. At lower wattages the flavour is cooler and more floral; at higher wattages the sweetness comes forward and the tart edge softens. If the vape tastes muted, try raising the power by a couple of watts, and if it tastes harsh or sweet to the point of being cloying, drop it back. Because passion fruit flavourings are aromatic and quite sweet, they are more prone to leaving residue on a coil than a simple tobacco or menthol liquid, so a fresh coil makes a real difference to how true the flavour tastes.

Many vapers also find that a bottle improves slightly after a short rest. Shake it, loosen the cap for a moment to let any trapped air out and leave it for a day or two before you fill the tank. This is not essential with a shortfill, but when you have added a nicotine shot it helps the nicotine and liquid blend fully and gives the flavour time to settle.

One honest caveat: flavour is personal. Some people love a tart fruit, others prefer something sweeter or more candy-like. If you have never tried passion fruit in a vape, it is worth thinking about whether you enjoy the real fruit. A liquid that captures the fruit well will taste fresh and a little sharp, not like sweets. If you want a smoother, creamier fruit, you may be happier with a different profile from the same brand.

Bottle design and build quality

The packaging is the only physical product you handle here, so it is worth looking at properly. Passion Kill comes in a 60ml plastic bottle with a narrow dropper-style nozzle, the format commonly known in the UK as a chubby bottle. The soft plastic is deliberate: it lets you squeeze the liquid out in a controlled way and lets you press the bottle flat when you want to fill small tank ports. The nozzle is slim enough to fit most tanks and pod fill holes without a separate syringe.

On the cap you should find a tamper-evident ring and a child-resistant mechanism. Both are standard on e-liquid sold in the UK and both are worth checking when your parcel arrives. If the tamper ring is already broken, do not use the bottle and contact us so we can sort out a replacement. Keep the cap on tightly whenever you are not filling, as high-VG liquid is thick and sticky and will get everywhere if a bottle is knocked over.

• Bottle: 60ml plastic bottle holding 50ml, so there is space for a 10ml nicotine shot without overfilling
• Nozzle: narrow tip for tank and pod fill ports
• Closure: child-resistant cap with tamper-evident ring
• Label: carries ingredient information, batch code, nicotine statement and the required health warnings
• Storage: keep upright, away from sunlight and heat, and out of reach of children and pets

Build quality in this context means the bottle does not leak, the nozzle does not drip after use and the label stays legible. Nasty's range is widely stocked, so the bottle format is a familiar one and tends to arrive without fuss. A thin film of liquid around the nozzle after filling is normal for a high-VG liquid, so wipe it with a tissue before you screw the cap back on and you will avoid sticky fingers and cap glue.

Read the label before you open the bottle. It lists the nicotine strength as supplied, the batch number and the best-before date. Make a note of the batch number if you ever need to contact us about a problem, as that lets the brand trace it. Never decant liquid into unlabelled containers, and never store e-liquid in a drinks bottle.

When the bottle is empty, rinse it and the cap with warm water, let it dry and put it in your household plastic recycling if your local council accepts rigid plastic bottles. Check your council's guidance, since collection rules differ across the UK.

Battery and charging: what your device needs

A bottle of shortfill has no battery, so the charging question is really about the device you pair it with. The liquid is happy with most modern hardware, but the battery in that hardware affects how well Passion Kill performs and how safely you can use it. This section covers what to look for, how to charge and where to take old batteries and devices for recycling in the UK.

Common battery setups for sub-ohm and high-VG use:

• Box mods with removable cells: usually take one, two or three 18650 or 21700 cells, with 21700 cells commonly rated around 4000mAh to 5000mAh
• Built-in battery mods and pod kits: typically 800mAh to 3000mAh, charged by USB-C, and the larger capacities cope better with sub-ohm coils
• Mid-power kits: often 1500mAh to 2500mAh, enough for a day of moderate use at 30 to 50 watts

As a rough guide, the higher the wattage you vape at, the faster the battery drains. A 3000mAh battery running at 40 watts might last a heavy user most of a day, while the same battery at 25 watts would last noticeably longer. Capacity figures printed on cells are often optimistic, so trust a reputable brand and do not mix old and new cells in a multi-battery mod.

Charging guidance that applies to almost every setup:

• Use the cable supplied with the device, or a good quality replacement, and a standard phone-style charger rather than an unknown or damaged one
• Do not leave batteries charging unattended or overnight, and do not charge them on a bed or sofa
• If a cell is dented, the wrap is torn or it gets hot while charging, stop using it
• Carry spare cells in a plastic case, never loose in a pocket with keys or coins

When a battery or device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the bin. Lithium cells in household waste are a genuine fire risk for bin lorries and recycling plants. Retailers that sell vape devices are generally expected to offer free take-back of old ones, and many supermarkets and electrical stores have battery collection points. Your council's household waste recycling centre will also take them, and the Recycle Your Electricals website has a postcode search to find your nearest drop-off point. Remove the cells from a device where you can do so safely, and tape the terminals of loose cells before you drop them off.

Coil and mesh tech: matching hardware to a high-VG liquid

Coil choice is where most shortfill vapers get the biggest gain in flavour and the biggest reduction in problems. Passion Kill is a thicker liquid, so the coil needs to be able to draw it through to the heating element quickly. Mesh coils are the usual answer. Instead of a round wire wrapped around a cotton wick, a mesh coil uses a flat sheet of fine mesh that touches a wide area of cotton. That means more even heating, faster wicking and less chance of a dry hit.

• Resistance: 0.15 to 0.4 ohm mesh coils are the usual match for 50ml high-VG shortfills and for direct-lung vaping
• Wattage: follow the range printed on the coil, usually in the 40 to 80 watt region for sub-ohm mesh
• Higher resistance pod coils: 0.6 to 1.0 ohm mesh pods can work at around 15 to 30 watts, but check the manufacturer says they support high-VG liquid
• Round wire coils: can taste crisp but need wide wicking ports to handle thick liquid and can be more prone to flooding

New coil preparation matters more than people expect. Before you vape, drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton visible through the coil's wicking holes, fill the tank and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Take the first few puffs at low power without firing for long. This stops the cotton burning before it is fully saturated, and a burnt coil will taste harsh for its remaining life.

Coil life with a sweet fruit liquid like this one is typically one to two weeks at moderate use, depending on your wattage and how much you vape. Signs that a coil is nearing the end include a dull or slightly burnt taste, reduced vapour and a gurgling sound that was not there before. Swapping the coil at the first signs of decline is cheaper than putting up with muted flavour, and it saves you wasting a bottle of liquid on a tired coil.

If you are stuck on which tank to choose, look for one that lists compatibility with 70VG or high-VG liquids, has a secure top-fill or bottom-fill system, and has easily available replacement coils in the UK. Having a spare pack of coils in a drawer means a burnt-out coil is a five-minute swap instead of a trip to a shop.

Nicotine strength guidance

Passion Kill is supplied at 0mg, so it contains no nicotine until you add some. For plenty of vapers, particularly those who have already come off nicotine, 0mg is the right choice and you can use the bottle straight out of the box. If you do want nicotine, the 60ml bottle is designed to take one 10ml nicotine shot.

• 0mg (as supplied): nicotine-free, for vapers who have stopped nicotine or who vape purely for flavour
• 3mg/ml: add one 10ml 18mg nicotine shot to the bottle, which brings 60ml up to roughly 3mg/ml
• About 3.3mg/ml: adding a 10ml shot at 20mg/ml has a very similar effect on a 60ml bottle

UK law caps nicotine in e-liquid at 20mg/ml and limits nicotine-containing bottles to 10ml, which is why nicotine shots come in 10ml bottles and why they are sold separately from the shortfill. That 20mg/ml ceiling is the same one that applied to disposable vapes before they were banned. It is a maximum, not a target, and a direct-lung sub-ohm vape is designed to be used at much lower strengths.

Which strength should you pick? Use the following as a starting point, not as medical advice.

• If you smoke lightly or are close to quitting nicotine altogether, 0mg to 3mg is usually plenty with a sub-ohm setup
• If you are moving from cigarettes and still crave heavily, 3mg at higher wattage can feel too harsh for some people. A 6mg freebase mix works for a few vapers on lower-powered kits but requires two shots and a bigger bottle, so a pod system with a nicotine salt liquid may suit you better
• If a vape feels harsh in the throat, the nicotine is probably too high for your wattage, so reduce the strength or the power

Because a sub-ohm device delivers a lot of liquid with every puff, the nicotine you take in per puff is higher than the strength alone suggests. That is why direct-lung vapers use low strengths. If you try a high-strength liquid in a high-power tank, expect a rough throat hit and possibly dizziness or nausea.

After you add a shot, close the bottle and shake it hard for about thirty seconds, then leave it for at least an hour. Label the bottle with the new strength and the date so it can never be mistaken for a nicotine-free bottle. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, NHS stop smoking services and your local pharmacy can offer free advice.

Who Passion Kill is for, and who should skip it

Passion Kill is aimed at adult smokers and existing vapers who enjoy fruit flavours and already own, or are willing to buy, a refillable device. It suits people who want to control their own nicotine strength, want a larger bottle for the money and don't mind a little hands-on maintenance such as filling the tank and changing coils.

It is a good fit if you:

• Use a sub-ohm tank or a refillable pod kit with a mesh coil that supports high-VG liquid
• Like passion fruit or tropical fruit flavours, as opposed to desserts, tobacco or menthol
• Want to run low or zero nicotine, or you are gradually reducing your nicotine strength
• Prefer buying a 50ml bottle rather than lots of small bottles or single-use devices
• Are happy to add a nicotine shot yourself, or happy to vape at 0mg

It is probably not the right choice if you:

• Use a very low-powered pen-style mouth-to-lung kit, which may struggle to wick a liquid this thick
• Need a high nicotine strength of 10mg or more, as a 50ml shortfill is not the right product for that and a nicotine salt 10ml bottle in a pod kit would be more suitable
• Want something fully pre-filled with no maintenance, as you will need to fill and look after the device
• Dislike tart or sharp fruit flavours

It is also important to say who should not buy this product at all. E-liquids are for adults, and it is illegal to sell to anyone under 18 in the UK. If you do not currently smoke or vape, there is no benefit in starting. Nicotine is addictive, and even though public health bodies in the UK describe vaping as far less harmful than smoking, it is not risk-free. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone with a heart condition, high blood pressure or another medical issue, should talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products.

For smokers who want to quit, vaping is one option among several, and the NHS offers free support, advice and other quitting aids. If you are buying for someone else, please do not. Supplying vapes to under-18s is an offence, and we will ask for age verification when your order is delivered.

How to use Passion Kill: filling, priming and everyday care

Getting the most from a shortfill is mostly about a tidy routine. These steps apply to nearly every sub-ohm tank and refillable pod, but your device manual always takes priority if it differs.

• Step 1, decide on strength: use the bottle as it is for 0mg, or open it and add one 10ml nicotine shot for around 3mg/ml
• Step 2, mix: if you added a shot, close the cap tightly and shake for thirty seconds, then wait an hour or so before use
• Step 3, prepare the coil: drip a few drops of liquid into the wicking holes of a new coil, then fill the tank
• Step 4, fill: fill the tank to just below the maximum line, keeping the liquid away from the central airflow tube
• Step 5, wait: leave the tank for five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks fully
• Step 6, start low: set the wattage towards the bottom of the coil's range and take a few gentle puffs
• Step 7, adjust: raise the power in small steps until the flavour is where you like it, staying inside the coil's rated range

Everyday care keeps both flavour and hardware in good order. Keep the tank at least a third full, because running it nearly empty is a common cause of dry hits. Wipe the threads and drip tip occasionally, and if you switch flavours, rinse the tank and drip tip in warm water, dry them fully and fit a new coil, since the old coil will hold on to the previous taste. If you plan on leaving the device unused for a few days, empty the liquid or at least leave it standing upright so the tank doesn't leak.

Storage matters too. Keep sealed bottles somewhere cool and dark, standing upright, with the cap fully tightened. Heat and sunlight can darken e-liquid and dull the flavour over time. Once opened, use the bottle within a few months and keep the cap on between fills. If you plan to add nicotine, the nicotine will slowly darken the liquid, which is normal and doesn't mean it's gone off. A darker colour is a cosmetic change, not a safety issue, but if the liquid smells off or separates strangely, replace it.

Finally, keep every e-liquid bottle, whether nicotine-free or not, away from children and pets. A child-resistant cap slows a child down but is not a replacement for safe storage. If anyone swallows e-liquid or gets it in their eyes, seek medical advice straight away.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with a shortfill setup turn out to be hardware or technique rather than the liquid itself. Work through the likely cause before assuming the bottle is faulty.

• Dry or burnt taste: usually a dry coil or a coil that has reached the end of its life. Check the liquid level, prime a fresh coil properly and try a lower wattage. If it persists, replace the coil.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid is flooding the coil, often caused by overfilling or a loose seal. Turn the airflow open, wipe the chimney and make sure the tank is assembled correctly.
• Leaking from the tank: check the O-rings, the threads and that the coil is screwed in firmly. Overfilling and temperature changes, such as taking a device from a cold car into a warm room, can also push liquid out.
• Weak or muted flavour: often vaper's tongue after heavy use of one flavour, or a worn coil. Take a break, drink some water or try a different flavour for a day, and swap the coil if the dullness continues.
• Harsh throat hit: the nicotine may be too high for your wattage, or the power is too high for the coil. Reduce one or both.
• Thick liquid not wicking: the coil may be rated for thinner liquid. Choose a coil with larger wicking holes or one explicitly rated for high-VG liquid.
• Sweet residue on the coil: fruit flavours leave more residue than simple ones. Change coils more often and avoid chain vaping at very high wattage.
• Sticky bottle neck: normal with a viscous liquid. Wipe the nozzle after every fill.

If you have changed the coil, primed it properly, set a sensible wattage and the flavour is still off, check the label and batch code and compare it with a second bottle if you have one. Send us the batch number, a photo of the label and a brief description of the problem, and we will help work out whether it is a product issue. Do not carry on using any liquid that smells chemical, has visible particles floating in it or has changed to an unusual colour.

For device faults rather than liquid problems, such as a battery that will not charge or a mod that shuts off, stop using the device and contact the manufacturer or the shop where you bought it. A damaged battery should be taken to a recycling point and not charged again.

Value for money

Judging value on a shortfill means looking past the shelf price to the cost per millilitre and the cost per day. A 50ml bottle typically costs less per ml than 10ml nicotine liquid, and far less over time than buying disposable devices. Divide the price by 50 to get the pence per millilitre, then compare it with other bottles you are considering.

Here is a simple way to think about your own running costs:

• Daily use of 2ml: a 50ml bottle lasts about 25 days
• Daily use of 4ml: a 50ml bottle lasts about 12 days
• Daily use of 6ml: a 50ml bottle lasts about 8 days

Add the cost of coils, which for a typical sub-ohm setup is one coil every one to two weeks, and the occasional nicotine shot if you use one. Even with those extras, the weekly cost for most refillable users is lower than the equivalent in single-use devices, which also had a big environmental cost and have been banned from sale in the UK since June 2025.

The other side of value is what you give up. A shortfill needs a device that you buy once and maintain, so there is an upfront outlay if you do not already have a tank. It also asks for a little time and attention: filling, priming, rinsing and swapping coils. If you want something you can use immediately without thinking, a refillable system with a nicotine salt liquid and a simple pod might suit you better, though the cost per ml is usually higher.

Value also depends on how much of the bottle you actually enjoy. A liquid that tastes good for the first day and wears thin is poor value even if it is cheap. With passion fruit in particular, some vapers find the sweetness tiring over a whole 50ml. If you are unsure, mix up your routine by keeping a second flavour in rotation, which also helps prevent vaper's tongue.

Finally, keep an eye on multi-buy offers on our site, as buying more than one bottle often reduces the cost per ml. Don't buy more than you will use within a few months, though, because liquids do slowly change with age. A sealed bottle stored cool and dark will generally stay in good condition for a long time, but fresh stock gives the most reliable flavour.

How Passion Kill compares with other 50ml shortfills

The UK shortfill market is crowded, so it helps to compare Passion Kill with what else is on the shelf. We have tried to be fair here: flavour is subjective, prices change, and brands update their recipes, so treat this as a guide to what each style offers rather than a ranking.

• Against other Nasty Ballin flavours: the range is built around bold, easy-to-read fruit and sweet profiles. Passion Kill is the tropical, tangy option, while others lean towards candy or fruit-and-ice. If you like the brand's house style, trying a different flavour within the range is low risk.
• Against Dinner Lady: Dinner Lady shortfills often have more complex, layered recipes, including tart sweet and dessert styles, and are frequently priced a little higher. If you want something more intricate, they are worth a look. If you want a straightforward passion fruit, a simpler recipe can be easier to enjoy day to day.
• Against Doozy Vape Co and similar brands: these tend to focus on strongly flavoured, dessert-forward or candy-forward liquids. They suit sweet-toothed vapers, while fruit-focused liquids like Passion Kill suit people who want something lighter on the palate.
• Against budget ranges such as IVG or Bar Series: these are often lower in price per bottle, which matters if you vape a lot. The trade-off is that flavour depth and consistency vary by flavour, so check reviews for the specific liquid.
• Against nicotine salt 10ml bottles: salts are designed for low-power pod kits and deliver a smoother hit at higher strengths. They cost more per ml and are not made for sub-ohm tanks, so the two are different tools for different setups.

In fairness, Passion Kill is not trying to be the cheapest bottle or the most elaborate recipe. Its strength is that it sticks to one clear flavour in a familiar bottle size from a widely stocked brand, so it is easy to find, easy to reorder and easy to compare. Its limitations are the same as for any 70VG-style shortfill: it needs compatible hardware, it offers only a low nicotine ceiling and it won't suit vapers who want a cooling or menthol finish.

If you are unsure whether you will like a passion fruit profile, start with one bottle before committing to several. Alternatively, ask us before you order. We are happy to point you towards something closer to your taste if you tell us what you vape now and what you enjoy.
