Nasty Liq Menthol 10ml 20mg Nic Salt at a Glance

Nasty Liq Nic Salts by Nasty Juice in Menthol is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid at 20mg/ml, made for refillable pod kits and other low-wattage vape devices. Nicotine salts pair the nicotine with a mild acid so it can be inhaled at a higher strength without the sharp, scratchy throat hit that freebase nicotine gives at the same level. This flavour is a straight menthol: a cold, clean, minty-cool vape with no fruit or sweet layer on top, which makes it one of the simplest profiles in the Nasty Liq range to understand.

If you are coming from single-use vapes, this is the refillable route. Single-use vapes were banned from sale across the UK in June 2025, and since then many adult vapers have moved to a small pod kit plus a 10ml bottle of nic salt. The 10ml size is not a marketing choice either. UK rules limit nicotine e-liquid bottles to 10ml and cap strength at 20mg/ml, so this bottle sits at the maximum legal strength and the maximum legal bottle size for a nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK. The same 20mg ceiling is the one people remember from the old disposable market, so the nicotine level will feel familiar if that is where you started.

Key facts at a glance:

• Product: Nasty Liq Nic Salts by Nasty Juice, Menthol flavour
• Bottle size: 10ml, with a narrow nozzle designed for filling pods and small tanks
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml, which works out at 200mg of nicotine across the full bottle
• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, intended for mouth-to-lung pod and low-power devices
• Flavour family: pure menthol, cooling and crisp, with no added fruit
• Nicotine content: contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance; for adult smokers and existing vapers only

This page walks through how the liquid behaves, which devices suit it, how to fill and care for your kit, what to do when something goes wrong, and how it stacks up against other options. It is written for UK adults who already smoke or vape and want a straightforward refillable menthol. If you do not currently use nicotine, this is not a product for you.

Flavour Profile: What Menthol Tastes Like

Menthol is a flavour built on temperature as much as taste. On the first draw you get a sharp, icy sensation across the tongue and the roof of the mouth, followed by a clean, slightly herbal minty finish. There is no sweetener sitting underneath it in the way there is with a fruit-and-ice blend, so the cooling effect is the main event rather than an accent.

How the flavour tends to unfold across a puff:

• Inhale: a cold, minty note arrives straight away, with a crisp edge that some vapers describe as similar to a strong breath mint.
• Hold and exhale: the cooling spreads to the throat and then the nasal passages, and a faint peppermint-style sweetness lingers for a second or two.
• Aftertaste: clean and light. Because there is no heavy sweetener, the mouth does not feel coated the way it can after a dessert or candy liquid.

It is worth separating menthol from spearmint and peppermint. Spearmint is the softer, gum-like mint; peppermint sits in the middle; menthol is the coldest and sharpest of the three. If you have previously found mint e-liquids too sweet or too chewing-gum in character, a menthol profile is usually closer to what you want. If you find cold flavours harsh, it may feel too strong, in which case a milder mint or a lower menthol-style strength might suit you better.

Many smokers who used to buy menthol cigarettes look for exactly this kind of flavour. Menthol cigarettes were removed from sale in the UK in 2020, and a straight menthol e-liquid is one of the closest flavour matches in the vaping world. It will not taste identical to a cigarette, since there is no tobacco note, but the cool throat sensation is what many ex-menthol smokers say they miss.

One practical point is that cooling agents behave differently from flavour concentrates. They can feel stronger on a fresh coil and slightly softer as the coil ages, and the intensity also changes with wattage. Higher power makes the liquid warmer, which blunts the cold effect. Lower power keeps it crisp. That is why this bottle suits the low-wattage pod kits it is designed for rather than hotter, higher-powered setups.

Performance and Vapour Delivery

Nicotine salt liquids are designed around a specific style of vaping: mouth-to-lung, where you draw the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale it into the lungs, much like drawing on a cigarette. They are paired with higher-resistance coils and lower power, and the result is a tight draw with modest vapour clouds and a nicotine delivery that feels quick and smooth rather than harsh.

What to expect in use:

• Throat hit: at 20mg/ml the nicotine is noticeable but gentler than 20mg of freebase would be. Menthol adds a separate cool sensation on top of that, so the overall hit can feel more intense than a non-menthol flavour at the same strength.
• Vapour volume: moderate. Nic salt liquids are usually balanced for flavour and nicotine delivery rather than cloud size, and this is not a liquid to buy if large plumes are your priority.
• Satisfaction speed: salts are absorbed quickly, so many users find that a few puffs settle a craving where a lower strength might take longer.
• Consistency: because the draw is controlled by the coil and the device rather than the liquid, you should get the same experience bottle after bottle as long as you keep your coil fresh.

Be realistic about the experience compared with a cigarette or a disposable. A refillable pod kit has more variables: how well you filled it, how fresh the coil is, how fast you draw. Most of the early frustration with refillable vaping comes from a poorly primed coil, not from the liquid. Fill the pod fully, let it sit for a few minutes, and take a few gentle puffs before you inhale properly, and the first session will be much smoother.

If you are using a very hot or high-wattage setup, you will notice the flavour turning thin and the throat hit turning harsh. That is a mismatch, not a fault in the e-liquid. This type of salt is formulated for gentle power, and it is at its most coherent in the device types covered later on this page.

Bottle Design, Packaging and Build Quality

Nasty Liq bottles follow the standard format for UK nicotine e-liquids: a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow tip, a tamper-evident ring on the cap, and a child-resistant closure. The thin nozzle is useful in practice. Refillable pods have small fill ports, and a wide bottle tip will spill liquid down the outside of the pod, which is messy and can seep into the airflow channels. A fine tip lets you place a drop exactly where it needs to go.

What to check when your bottle arrives:

• Tamper ring: the ring around the cap should be unbroken. If it is already split, contact the shop before use.
• Label information: the label carries the nicotine strength, the flavour name, the batch or lot code, and the health warning required for nicotine products. Keep the bottle in its original packaging until you open it so you can reference these details later.
• Bottle softness: the plastic is squeezable by design. Squeeze gently and let the liquid come out a drop at a time. Pressing hard produces a surge that overfills the pod.
• Cap fit: the child-resistant cap needs a firm push-and-turn. If it feels loose after refitting, take it off and reseat it; a loose cap is how bottles leak in bags.

The packaging is functional rather than decorative. There is nothing here that changes how the liquid performs, but a few handling habits will keep the bottle in good shape. Store it upright, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, away from children and pets. Heat and sunlight degrade nicotine liquids over time and can darken the colour; a menthol liquid is usually clear to pale yellow, and a little darkening with age is normal, but a strong colour change or a change in smell is a sign to replace it.

Keep in mind that nicotine liquids can be harmful if swallowed or if they get on the skin in quantity. Wipe up spills promptly, wash your hands after filling, and never leave a bottle within reach of children. A 10ml bottle contains 200mg of nicotine, which is enough to be dangerous to a small child.

Choosing Your Nicotine Strength: Is 20mg Right for You?

This listing is the 20mg/ml version, which is the highest strength the UK allows for e-liquids. That is a deliberate choice for some vapers and the wrong choice for others, so it is worth being clear about who it fits.

A rough guide to strength selection for nicotine salts:

• 20mg/ml: typically chosen by people who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who are stepping down from 20mg single-use vapes. It gives a strong, fast nicotine hit and tends to settle cravings in fewer puffs.
• 10mg/ml: usually a better fit for lighter smokers, for people who have been vaping for a while and want to reduce their intake, or for anyone who finds 20mg too strong.
• Below 10mg: generally suits people who have already cut down significantly or who vape out of habit rather than craving.

Menthol complicates the picture slightly. Cooling flavours amplify the sensation in the throat, so a 20mg menthol can feel more intense than a 20mg fruit liquid. If you are unsure, it is sensible to consider whether a 10mg bottle would give you enough satisfaction with less harshness. If you vape the 20mg and find yourself coughing, feeling lightheaded, or getting a racing heart, the strength is probably too high for you, and you should stop and drop down a level.

Signs you might be on the wrong strength:

• Too high: nausea, dizziness, headaches, a jittery or racing feeling, or a throat hit you dread rather than enjoy.
• Too low: you find yourself vaping constantly, going back to cigarettes, or feeling restless within minutes of your last session.

Nicotine is addictive, and 20mg salts deliver it efficiently. The point of choosing a strength is to step down gradually if you want to, not to stay at the maximum indefinitely. If you are not currently a smoker or vaper, do not start. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or are taking medication, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using any nicotine product. Free local stop-smoking services across the UK can also help you plan a step-down.

Coil and Mesh Technology: Which Devices Suit Nasty Liq

The e-liquid does not contain any hardware, but the device you put it in determines almost everything about how it behaves. Nicotine salts are designed for coils that offer a restrictive draw and low power. If you use the wrong type of coil, you will waste liquid and get a poor experience.

Device types that suit a 20mg nic salt:

• Refillable pod kits: small, pen-style or slim devices with a replaceable pod or cartridge. These typically run between roughly 10W and 25W and are the standard match for salts. Coil resistance usually lands between about 0.8 and 1.2 ohms.
• Pod systems with mesh coils: mesh coils spread the heating surface across a flat screen rather than a wire, which can give a more even vaporisation and a more consistent flavour from puff to puff. They can use liquid a little faster than a plain wire coil, but many vapers prefer the flavour accuracy.
• Low-wattage mouth-to-lung tanks: some small tanks with 1.0 ohm or higher coils will work fine with salts, provided you keep the power down.

Devices to avoid:

• Sub-ohm tanks and high-wattage mods: these are designed for thinner, high-VG liquids and large vapour production. Using a 20mg salt in one can deliver far more nicotine per puff than intended and may cause nausea or dizziness very quickly.
• Closed pod devices: if your device only takes a pre-filled, non-refillable pod, you cannot use this bottle in it. Check that your pod has a fill port.

When fitting a new coil, prime it properly. Dry or poorly saturated cotton is the leading cause of burnt tastes. Add a few drops directly on the coil's wicking holes if your pod allows, fill the tank, and wait at least five minutes. Menthol liquids can feel more pungent on a fresh coil, and a short settling period usually calms that down. Also bear in mind that strong cooling flavours can stress some plastic components over time; if you notice cracking around the pod, switch to a fresh pod and avoid leaving liquid sitting in the device for weeks.

Battery and Charging Considerations

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery, so there is nothing to charge in the product itself. The charging question is about your device. This section is a practical guide to getting the most reliable use from whatever kit you pair with the liquid.

Battery sizes in refillable pod kits vary widely. Small slim devices tend to carry a battery in the region of 400 to 800mAh, while larger pod mods carry 1000mAh or more. A bigger battery gives you more puffs between charges but also makes the device heavier, so it is a trade between convenience and pocketability. Low-power salt vaping is easy on batteries, which is one reason pod kits are popular with people who want a day of use without carrying a charger.

Good charging habits:

• Use the cable that came with the device. Third-party cables of poor quality are a common cause of battery and port problems.
• Use a standard USB charger or a computer port. Very high-output fast chargers are unnecessary for small pod batteries.
• Charge on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface and do not leave the device charging unattended or overnight.
• Unplug once charged. Constant trickle charging shortens lithium battery life.
• Do not charge or use a device with a swollen, hot, or damaged body. If a battery looks puffed or smells unusual, stop using it and dispose of it safely.

Disposal matters too. Batteries and vape devices should not go in household bins. Under the UK's rules on waste electricals, you should take old devices to a recycling drop-off point, and many retailers that sell vapes are required to accept them back. Local council recycling centres also take small electricals. Empty e-liquid bottles can usually go in plastic recycling once rinsed, but check your local council's guidance as nicotine residue can affect how they are handled.

One useful rule of thumb: if your device starts giving weak vapour even though the battery indicator shows full, the issue is far more often a worn coil or a dry pod than a failing battery. Swap the coil before you blame the cell.

Who Nasty Liq Menthol Is For (and Who Should Skip It)

Matching the product to the right person is the most useful thing this page can do, because a 20mg menthol is a strong choice that is excellent for some and a poor fit for others.

It is likely to suit you if you:

• are an adult smoker, particularly a heavier or menthol smoker, looking for a flavour that mimics the cool throat feel you are used to.
• are moving from single-use vapes to a refillable pod kit and want a similar 20mg strength.
• prefer a clean, non-sweet flavour over fruit, dessert, or candy profiles.
• want a simple one-flavour bottle for a small pod device without a lot going on.
• want a liquid that performs well at low power and keeps coil gunk to a minimum compared with heavily sweetened juices.

You may want to look elsewhere if you:

• Do not use nicotine. Do not start. Nicotine is addictive and this product is not for non-smokers or anyone under 18.
• Dislike cold sensations. Menthol is intentionally icy. If you want a warm, mellow vape, tobacco or dessert flavours are a better match.
• Use a sub-ohm or high-wattage device. This is a salt for low-power kits.
• Are sensitive to throat hit. A 20mg menthol may be too intense; try a 10mg version or a different flavour at 10mg.
• Are pregnant or have a health condition. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist first.
• Want big clouds. Nic salts are not built for that.

It is also worth being honest about what vaping is. For adult smokers, switching fully to vaping is widely regarded as substantially less harmful than continuing to smoke, and the NHS supports it as a stop-smoking aid. That does not make it risk-free, and the benefit disappears if you vape on top of smoking rather than instead of it. If your aim is to quit nicotine entirely, a plan to reduce strength over time, with support from a local stop-smoking service, tends to work better than switching and staying put.

How to Use Nasty Liq Nic Salt: Filling and First Puffs

Filling a refillable pod takes about a minute once you have done it a couple of times. Doing it carefully the first time saves a lot of leaks and burnt hits later.

Step-by-step filling:

• Turn the device off or remove the pod. Work with the pod separate from the battery where you can.
• Open the fill port. This is usually a silicone plug on the side or top of the pod. Peel it back gently.
• Squeeze the bottle slowly. Aim the fine tip at the side wall of the fill port, not straight down the central chimney, which is the airflow channel.
• Stop below the max line. Leave a small air gap at the top. Overfilling is the number one cause of flooded coils and gurgling.
• Close the plug firmly and wipe any spilled liquid off the pod, especially around the base contacts.
• Wait five minutes. The cotton needs time to soak up liquid before the coil is fired.

First puffs:

• Take two or three short, gentle draws without inhaling fully. This pulls liquid into the wick.
• Draw slowly and steadily for two to three seconds in mouth-to-lung style, then inhale.
• Do not chain-vape. Give the coil a few seconds to re-wet between puffs, especially at the start of a fresh pod.

Day-to-day tips: keep the device upright when not in use, top up before the pod is empty rather than letting it run dry, and never fire the device on a dry coil. A dry hit tastes acrid and burns the cotton, and the coil never fully recovers. Washing your hands after a refill is a good habit, as nicotine liquid on the skin is absorbed. Keep a tissue handy for the first few fills until you find the right amount of pressure.

Do not mix this liquid with other e-liquids or additives. Adding flavourings, nicotine shots, or extra cooling agents to a finished nic salt can change the nicotine strength unpredictably and may exceed the legal limit.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with refillable vaping have a simple cause. Here are the ones that come up most often with nic salt liquids like this one, and how to fix them.

• Burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry or worn coil. Take the pod out, give it a few more minutes to soak, and take gentler draws. If the taste persists, the coil is spent and the pod or coil head should be replaced.
• Weak or fading flavour: a worn coil, a low liquid level, or a device running at too low a power. Replace the coil first; menthol often fades noticeably as a coil ages. Check the pod is topped up.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the chamber. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece with the airflow end covered, or dab the mouthpiece with a tissue. Avoid overfilling next time.
• Leaking from the pod: the fill plug may not be seated properly, the pod may be overfilled, or the pod may be cracked. Reseat the plug, wipe the contacts, and swap the pod if the problem repeats. Rapid temperature changes and altitude changes can also push liquid out; keep the device upright and carry it with a closed fill port.
• Throat harshness or coughing: the nicotine strength may be too high for you, the draw may be too fast, or the device power may be too high. Try a lower strength or a slower puff. Menthol can add to the sensation.
• Dry mouth or mild sore throat: common with vaping in general. Drink water regularly. If symptoms continue, stop and seek advice.
• Dizziness, nausea, headache: signs of too much nicotine. Stop vaping, get fresh air and drink water. If you often feel this way, move to a lower strength.
• Cracked or clouded plastic pod: some plastics do not tolerate strong cooling agents for long periods. Replace the pod and avoid storing the device with liquid in it for extended periods.
• Device not firing: check the battery, the pod seating, and the contacts. Clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud.

If you have tried these fixes and something still seems wrong with the liquid itself, such as an unusual smell, separation, or unexpected colour, contact the shop with your batch code. Do not keep using a bottle you suspect is faulty, and never ignore the symptoms of nicotine overuse.

Longevity and Value for Money

Judging value for an e-liquid means looking beyond the sticker price. What matters is how long the bottle lasts, what it costs per day, and what else you need to buy to use it.

A 10ml bottle at 20mg/ml contains 200mg of nicotine. Most refillable pods hold roughly 2ml, so a full bottle gives you about five complete pod fills in nominal terms, with some inevitable loss to spills and priming. How long that lasts depends entirely on how you vape:

• Light use, around a few dozen puffs a day: a bottle can last the better part of two weeks.
• Moderate use, a typical former pack-a-day smoker: expect a bottle to last roughly three to six days.
• Heavy use or chain vaping: a bottle may disappear in two or three days, and at that rate it is worth asking whether 10mg in a larger quantity would be more sensible.

These are broad estimates, not guarantees. Higher power, mesh coils and long draws all raise consumption.

Costs beyond the bottle:

• Coils or pods: these are consumables. A typical coil lasts somewhere in the region of one to three weeks depending on use and the sweetness of the liquid. Because menthol has no heavy sweetener, it tends to be kinder to coils than dessert or candy flavours, which can stretch the life of each coil slightly.
• The device itself: a one-off cost that is usually repaid quickly when compared to a continual stream of single-use purchases.
• Charging: negligible in electricity terms.

Compared with disposables, a refillable setup was always cheaper per milligram of nicotine, and with disposables now off the UK market the comparison is mostly about convenience rather than choice. Compared with cigarettes, vaping is generally cheaper, though the exact saving depends on how much you smoke now. Check the current price on this listing, as it can change between multipacks and individual bottles. Buying more than one bottle at a time can reduce the cost per unit and delivery cost per item, but only if you will use them before they age.

How Menthol Compares With Similar Nic Salts

No e-liquid is right for everybody, so here is a fair comparison of this bottle with the main alternatives you might be considering.

• Versus other fruit-and-ice nic salts: blends like blue raspberry ice or berry ice combine a fruit with a cooling agent. They are sweeter and more varied, but the menthol is secondary. If you like the cold feel but want flavour, those are a better choice. If you want the cold feel on its own, a straight menthol is simpler and less cloying.
• Versus spearmint and peppermint nic salts: spearmint is softer and more like chewing gum; peppermint is a middle ground. Menthol is colder and sharper than both. Pick menthol for strength of cooling and mint for a gentler finish.
• Versus tobacco nic salts: tobacco flavours aim to resemble a cigarette without the cooling effect. Former non-menthol smokers often prefer them. Former menthol smokers often prefer this.
• Versus 10mg nic salts: the same flavour at half the strength gives a gentler hit and will last longer per bottle. If 20mg feels excessive, switch down.
• Versus 50ml shortfills: Nasty Juice also makes larger bottles, but shortfills are built for sub-ohm devices and do not contain nicotine as sold, so they require a separate nicotine shot and a different kit. They suit large-vapour fans, not pod users.
• Versus pre-filled pods: closed pod systems are the quickest to set up and the least messy, but you are locked into a manufacturer and a limited choice of flavours. A bottle gives you freedom to refill and choose.
• Versus the old disposable route: single-use vapes are no longer legal to sell in the UK. Refillable devices produce less waste when the battery and kit are reused, and the pod-and-bottle format is the practical replacement.

Where this bottle is not the right answer: if you want sweet and complex flavours, if you prefer big clouds, or if you want a low nicotine level. For a plain, cold menthol in a strong salt format that works in small low-power kits, it does what it says. Check the current stock and price on the product page, and if you are unsure about strength, choose the lower option and move up only if you need to.
