Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
NastyThe Cherry Ice Nasty Liq Nic Salts by Nasty Juice 10ml 20mg by Nasty in Cherry Ice at 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Nasty Liq Nic Salts by Nasty Juice in Cherry Ice is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid, sold here at 20mg/ml (2%) nicotine strength. It is made for refillable pod kits and other low-power vaping devices, and it pairs a ripe cherry flavour with a cold, menthol-style finish. If you have been relying on disposable vapes, which can no longer be sold in the UK since the ban that came into force on 1 June 2025, a bottle like this is one of the most practical ways to keep a familiar fruit-and-ice flavour while moving to a device you can refill and recharge.
Nasty Juice is a Malaysian e-liquid brand with a long track record among UK vapers, mostly for its big-bottle shortfills. The Nasty Liq range is the nic salt side of that catalogue: smaller 10ml bottles, ready to vape, with the nicotine already added in a salt form that feels smoother at higher strengths than the freebase nicotine used in traditional e-liquids. Cherry Ice sits in the fruit-and-cooling part of that range.
Here are the key facts for this listing, so you can check it against your device before you order.
Because this is a bottle and not a disposable, there is no puff count printed on it, no built-in battery and no coil to throw away. Instead you get an amount of liquid that you can use in whichever compatible kit you already own. In the sections below we cover how that translates into real use: how much vapour and throat hit to expect, which devices suit it, how to choose between 10mg and 20mg, how to fill and troubleshoot, and how the price per millilitre compares with other options.
This product contains nicotine, which is addictive. It is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers aged 18 and over. If you do not currently smoke or vape, this is not a product for you.
Cherry Ice is built around a simple idea, and that simplicity is part of the appeal. The first impression on the inhale is a sweet, slightly tart cherry note. It sits closer to a cherry sweet or cherry soda than to a fresh orchard cherry, which is typical for vape flavourings: bold, rounded and a little candied rather than naturalistic. On the exhale the cooling agent comes through, giving a clean, cold sensation on the back of the tongue and in the throat without tipping into a harsh, medicinal menthol blast.
The way the flavour develops across a session is worth describing, because it affects whether you will enjoy it for a full bottle.
Compared with a pure menthol or mint liquid, the cooling here is a supporting actor. If you want a freezing, arctic hit, you may find Cherry Ice gentler than you expect. If you prefer fruit with a refreshing lift, it is easier to live with over a long day.
A note on tasting notes: flavour is personal, and descriptions like this are an honest guide rather than a guarantee. Nicotine strength, device wattage and coil type all change how a liquid tastes. Cooler, lower-powered setups push the cherry forward and keep the ice mellow, while hotter setups tend to sharpen the cooling and flatten the fruit.
Sweet flavours with cooling agents can also cause palate fatigue. Many vapers notice that after several hours of the same flavour, the taste seems to fade, a phenomenon often called vaper's tongue. If that happens, it does not necessarily mean the liquid has gone off. Taking a break, drinking water, or alternating with a different flavour usually brings the taste back.
If you are curious about similar profiles, other cherry-and-ice liquids in the same style tend to follow the same sweet-and-cold pattern, so if you already enjoy cherry sweets or cherry cola, Cherry Ice is a safe direction. If you dislike any menthol-style cooling at all, look at a non-ice cherry instead, because the cooling effect is part of this recipe and cannot be switched off.
With an e-liquid, performance is about three things you can feel: throat hit, vapour volume and flavour intensity. For Nasty Liq Cherry Ice at 20mg, the throat hit is the first characteristic to understand, because it comes from the nicotine strength more than from the flavour.
Nicotine salts are formulated to deliver nicotine more smoothly than freebase nicotine, so at 20mg you get a noticeable but rounded throat hit rather than the sharp scratch you would get from 20mg of freebase nicotine. In practice, most vapers describe nic salt at this strength as a firm but comfortable hit that satisfies a cigarette craving quickly. If you have previously used 3mg or 6mg freebase in a sub-ohm tank, 20mg salt will feel very different, much stronger in terms of nicotine delivery, with far less vapour per puff.
Vapour production is modest by design. Nic salts are intended for low-power devices, and 10ml bottles like this are typically balanced so the liquid can be vaporised at low wattage without burning. Expect small to medium clouds from a typical pod kit, not the large plumes of a high-powered sub-ohm setup. That is not a flaw. At 20mg, a large cloud would deliver far more nicotine than most people want in a short space of time.
Here is a quick way to think about performance.
Because it is a bottle, there is no fixed puff count. How many puffs you get depends on your device and how you vape. As a rough guide, a typical pod kit uses around 0.1ml or less of liquid per ten puffs at low wattage, but this varies with coil resistance, power setting and draw length. A 10ml bottle is therefore many hundreds of puffs, and for a lot of people it lasts one to two weeks of daily use. We cover the maths in more detail in the value section.
One practical point: nicotine hit depends on how you draw. Slow, gentle draws on a mouth-to-lung pod give a smoother experience. Short, sharp pulls increase throat hit. If you find 20mg too strong, adjusting your draw style can help before you reach for a different strength.
The packaging is a bigger part of the product than many people realise, because it affects how easy the liquid is to use and how safely it can be stored. Nasty Liq 10ml bottles follow the standard format for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK: a small plastic bottle with a narrow dropper-style nozzle, a tamper-evident seal, and a child-resistant cap. These features are not optional extras. UK regulations require nicotine-containing e-liquids to be sold in child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging with refillable containers of no more than 10ml, along with a health warning and ingredient and strength information on the label.
What this means in everyday use:
Labels on UK e-liquid bottles include the nicotine strength (here 20mg/ml), the batch information, a best-before date and the required nicotine warning. Take a moment to check the best-before date when you open the box and note the flavour name on the label so you do not mix up bottles if you buy several flavours at once.
On build quality, plastic bottles of this type are lightweight and unlikely to break if dropped, but the nozzle and cap are the parts that can wear. Over a few weeks of regular refilling, you may notice the nozzle tip getting slightly stained or sticky. Wipe it with a dry tissue after each fill to keep your fingers, pocket and device clean.
Storage matters more than most people think. Keep the bottle upright, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and out of reach of children and pets. Liquid nicotine is hazardous if swallowed or absorbed through the skin in quantity, so wash any spills off your skin promptly with soap and water. Finally, when the bottle is empty, check your local council guidance for recycling. Many areas accept clean, empty plastic bottles in household recycling, while others prefer you use a designated drop-off point.
A bottle of nic salt has no battery of its own, so the battery and charging question really belongs to the device you pair it with. This is also where many first-time buyers go wrong, so it is worth being specific about what suits a 20mg nic salt and what does not.
Nasty Liq Cherry Ice is designed for devices that run at low power. The most common matches are:
Sub-ohm tanks and high-wattage mods are not a good match. Running 20mg nic salt at high power produces a lot of vapour and delivers a large amount of nicotine very quickly, which can cause nausea, dizziness and headaches. If you vape a high-powered setup, use a lower nicotine strength or a different type of liquid.
On charging, nearly all current pod kits recharge through USB-C. A few practical habits help the battery last.
Small battery capacity means more frequent charging at higher nicotine strengths, because higher-strength liquid tends to be used more slowly. In real terms, a 500 to 800mAh pod kit usually manages a full day of moderate use before needing a top-up, though this varies with how often you take puffs and the power setting.
For disposal, never put vapes or loose lithium batteries in household waste or general recycling. Damaged or worn-out batteries should go to a designated drop-off point. Most large supermarkets and many local recycling centres accept small electrical items and batteries, and retailers that sell vapes are generally required to offer take-back as well.
The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and the coil's resistance and wicking material determine whether Nasty Liq Cherry Ice tastes the way it should. Nic salt e-liquids are typically formulated with a thinner consistency than high-VG shortfills, so they wick quickly through the small cotton or mesh wicks used in pod kits. Check the label on your own bottle for the exact VG/PG ratio, as formulations can vary between products and batches, but you can generally expect a liquid that is happy at low power.
These are the coil types most commonly used with nic salts, with a general sense of how each behaves.
Sweet, fruit and cooling flavours put a particular strain on coils. Sweeteners can caramelise on the heating element and create a dark residue, which dulls flavour and eventually leads to a burnt taste. Cooling agents can add to that build-up. This does not mean Cherry Ice is harder on coils than other fruit flavours, but it does mean you should expect coils to need replacing a little sooner than with a plain tobacco or unsweetened liquid.
Here are some practical points to get the most out of the coil.
If you vape a closed pod system with fixed pods, check the manufacturer's notes before using a third-party liquid. Most refillable pods accept any nic salt liquid, but pre-filled systems are designed for their own pods only. If in doubt, ask the retailer before buying.
This listing is the 20mg/ml version, which is the maximum nicotine strength the UK permits for e-liquids and refill pods. The same cap applies to disposables when they were still on sale. Understanding who this strength is for, and who should step down, is the single most useful piece of information when you buy.
As a broad guide, strength relates to how much and how often you smoked or vaped before.
Importantly, strength is not the same across different liquid types. 20mg of nic salt feels smoother than 20mg of freebase, so people sometimes underestimate how much nicotine they are taking. If you feel lightheaded, nauseous, get a pounding heart, or notice cold sweats after vaping, you are likely using too high a strength for your device or habit. Stop, drink some water, and consider moving down to 10mg.
Many vapers also find that they naturally take fewer puffs at 20mg than at 10mg, because the hit is more satisfying. Whether this is better for you depends on your goals. If your aim is to stop smoking completely, the aim should be to choose a strength that keeps you from going back to cigarettes. Many stop-smoking services in the UK recommend starting at a level that fully relieves cravings, then reducing gradually over time.
If you are not sure, a sensible approach is to start with the strength that matches what you currently use. Stepping down in small stages, for instance from 20mg to 10mg and then lower, is often easier than trying to jump straight to a very low level. NHS stop smoking services can provide free advice and support, and they are a good starting point for personalised guidance.
Vaping is generally considered far less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free and it delivers nicotine, which is addictive. Anyone who does not smoke should not start vaping, and anyone under 18 cannot legally buy this product. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or are on medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before using nicotine products.
No single e-liquid suits everyone, so here is an honest breakdown of who is likely to get on with this one and who is better off choosing something else.
It is a good fit if you:
You may want to look elsewhere if you:
For existing disposable users, there is one adjustment to expect. Disposables usually have a pre-set coil and airflow, and a nicotine level fixed at 20mg. With a refillable kit you take control of all of these, which means a short learning curve. You will need to learn how to fill a pod without flooding it, how long to let the coil prime, and when to swap a coil. After a week or so most people find it routine, and the running cost is lower, as covered in the value section.
For people who vape heavily through the day, a 10ml bottle does not last long, so consider buying several at once to avoid running out. For occasional vapers, the shelf life is worth watching. Check the best-before date and use older bottles first.
Finally, a point on responsible use. Keep the product away from children and pets, do not share your device or liquid with anyone under 18, and never vape in cars with children present. If you ever feel that you are vaping more than you intend to, a conversation with a local stop-smoking adviser can help you plan a gradual reduction.
Using a bottle of e-liquid is straightforward, but doing it carefully makes a real difference to flavour, battery life and mess. Follow these steps with your own device, and always read the manufacturer's manual for any model-specific instructions.
Below is the standard routine for a refillable pod kit.
Use tips that help in day-to-day vaping:
Nic salts generally do not need long steeping. They are ready to use out of the box, though a brief rest of a few hours at room temperature can make a new bottle taste slightly more rounded. If the bottle has been stored in the cold, bring it to room temperature before filling so that the liquid flows properly.
If you spill liquid on your hands, wash with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes or you swallow any, seek medical advice immediately and keep the bottle packaging for reference. In the UK you can contact NHS 111 for non-emergency advice, or call 999 in an emergency.
Most problems with nic salt e-liquid come down to the device setup rather than the liquid itself. Here are the issues that come up most often with sweet, cooling flavours like Cherry Ice and how to deal with each one.
For a persistent problem that does not respond to these steps, consider whether the issue is the liquid or the device. A straightforward test is to put the same liquid in a fresh coil or a different compatible pod, or to try a different liquid in the problem device. If the issue follows the device, the liquid is not the cause.
If you believe the liquid itself is faulty, for instance if it looks cloudy, smells off, or the best-before date has passed, stop using it. Keep the bottle and any packaging, and contact the shop with your order details so the problem can be looked at. Do not try to correct a suspect bottle by adding anything to it.
Value with e-liquid is easiest to judge by working out cost per day rather than by looking at the sticker price. A 10ml bottle of nic salt looks small next to a 100ml shortfill, but the two are used differently and are meant for different devices, so comparing them on volume alone can mislead you.
To estimate how long a bottle lasts, start from how much liquid you use. These figures are rough guides, since they depend on your device, power and habits.
A typical 2ml pod means one 10ml bottle fills about four to five pods once you allow for a little waste when priming. If you use around one pod per day, that is a bottle every four to five days.
Cost-wise, refilling a pod from a bottle is generally cheaper than buying disposable vapes or pre-filled pods over time, because you pay for liquid rather than for a battery, plastic shell and coil each time. You do still pay for replacement coils or pods, which for most people works out at a small additional cost every week or two. Combined, many daily vapers find that the total monthly cost of a refillable kit with nic salt bottles is clearly lower than a disposable habit, and it also generates less electronic waste.
There are several things that help you get more from each bottle.
It is also worth being clear about the trade-offs. A refillable setup asks for a one-off outlay for a device, a few minutes of upkeep each week, and some trial and error with coils. If you want zero maintenance, that may not suit you. For anyone vaping daily, though, the savings and the ability to change flavour without changing hardware usually outweigh the small effort involved. Check the current price on this page and compare it against the per-millilitre cost of other 10ml nic salt bottles to see where it sits.
It is only useful to compare when the comparison is fair, so here is how Nasty Liq Cherry Ice stacks up against the main alternatives UK vapers consider, along with the situations where another choice makes more sense.
Against other 10ml nic salt ranges. Plenty of brands sell cherry or cherry-ice nic salts in 10ml bottles, including ranges such as Elf Liq, IVG Salts, Pod Salt and Dinner Lady Salts. They all follow the same legal format, with the same 10ml bottle size and the same 20mg cap, so the real differences are flavour tuning, sweetness, the strength of the cooling agent and price per bottle. Some are tuned to mimic disposable vape flavours closely, others lean more towards a natural fruit taste. We cannot honestly say one is better, because taste is subjective. If you are unsure, try a single bottle of a few styles before committing to larger purchases.
Against shortfills. Nasty Juice is better known for 50ml and 100ml shortfill bottles, where you add your own nicotine shots. Shortfills usually work out cheaper per millilitre and suit sub-ohm tanks and bigger clouds. Nic salts like this one are more convenient for pod kits and for people who want a ready-to-use bottle with no mixing. If you use a pod device, a shortfill is generally not the right liquid, and if you use a sub-ohm tank, nic salt at 20mg is not the right choice.
Against freebase nicotine e-liquids. Freebase at 3 to 6mg in a higher-VG liquid suits high-power devices and gives much larger clouds, with a rougher throat hit at higher strengths. Nic salt gives a smoother hit at 10 to 20mg in small devices. Neither is superior; they are made for different equipment.
Against disposables. Disposable vapes are no longer legal to sell in the UK, so the realistic comparison is with rechargeable pre-filled pod systems and with refillable kits. Pre-filled pods are very convenient but cost more over time and lock you into one brand's pods. Refillable pods with bottled liquid give more flavour choice and a lower running cost, at the price of a small amount of setup and upkeep.
Where Cherry Ice is a sensible pick. If you want a recognisable cherry and cooling flavour, a 20mg strength for a smoker switching to vaping, and a bottle size suited to pod kits, it meets that brief. Where another product is better: if you want a non-cooling flavour, a lower strength, or a high-VG liquid for a sub-ohm tank, choose differently. Whatever you decide, buy from a retailer that checks you are 18 or over, and keep the packaging and batch details in case you need to raise a question later.

Nasty Juice is a long-established fruit-forward shortfill brand — the Modmate series and Shisha range have been shop regulars for years. Bright, uncomplicated flavour profiles.
As a guide, 20mg suits people who smoked around 10 or more cigarettes a day or who currently use 20mg pods or disposables, while 10mg suits lighter smokers and anyone who finds 20mg too strong. If you feel dizzy, nauseous or lightheaded after vaping, drop to a lower strength. The UK cap for nicotine in e-liquid is 20mg/ml, so this bottle is already at the legal maximum.
No. This is a 10ml bottle of nic salt e-liquid, so it has no battery and needs no charging itself. You use it to refill a compatible pod kit or low-power tank, and that device is what you charge, usually through USB-C. Do not leave a device charging unattended, and take worn-out vapes and batteries to a proper recycling drop-off point.
You can switch flavours between bottles, but avoid mixing different liquids inside one pod, as this makes the taste muddy and can affect the coil. When changing flavour, empty the pod, rinse it with cool water, let it dry completely and fit a fresh coil if the old one tastes of the previous liquid. Do not add anything to the bottle itself.
It depends on your usage. Light vapers may get a week to ten days or more from a bottle, moderate users roughly five to seven days, and heavy users as little as three or four days. As a rough measure, one 10ml bottle fills about four to five standard 2ml pods once you allow for a little waste when priming.
Over time, refilling from bottles is usually cheaper than buying pre-filled pods or rechargeable disposables, because you are paying for the liquid rather than a new battery and shell each time. Disposable vapes can no longer be sold in the UK anyway. You will still pay for a device and for replacement coils or pods every week or two.
It is not for anyone under 18 or for people who do not smoke or vape, because nicotine is addictive. It is also a poor match for sub-ohm tanks and high-wattage devices, and anyone who dislikes cooling flavours should choose a non-ice cherry. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.
It works best in refillable pod kits, compact mouth-to-lung tanks and low-wattage devices, typically with coils of around 0.6 to 1.2 ohm. Check your device manual to confirm that it is refillable and that it supports nic salts. Fixed pre-filled pod systems are designed for their own pods and should not be refilled.
Most often this is vaper's tongue, where your taste buds become less sensitive to the same sweet flavour, or a coil that has built up residue. Try a different flavour for a day, drink water, and replace the coil if it has been in use for one to two weeks. The liquid itself usually has not changed, so check the best-before date as well.

Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
Excellent all round. Will absolutely be ordering again. Customer service was helpful too.
Can't fault it. Quality is there, flavour is there, delivery was quick. What more could you want.
Picked this up on the multibuy deal and I'm stocked up for a while. Flavours are all on point.
Great product for the price point. Works exactly as advertised. No surprises, just a solid vape.
Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
