Ohm Brew Badass Blend Spiced Up Strawberry 50ml: what you are buying

Ohm Brew Badass Blend 50ml Spiced Up Strawberry is a 50ml shortfill e-liquid from Ohm Brew, made for people who vape with a refillable sub-ohm tank or a similar open-system kit. It is supplied as nicotine-free liquid (0mg) in a 60ml bottle, which leaves 10ml of empty space so you can add one 10ml nicotine shot if you want to mix your own strength. That is the standard shortfill format in the UK, and it exists for a simple regulatory reason: e-liquid that contains nicotine can only be sold in bottles of 10ml or less, while nicotine-free liquid can be sold in larger sizes.

The flavour is a strawberry-led profile with a warm, spiced layer running through it. If you have been vaping plain fruit liquids and find them a little one-dimensional after a few weeks, a spiced strawberry is a reasonable way to add some depth without moving into dessert or tobacco territory. We cover the flavour in detail below, along with the practical side of using a shortfill: how to mix nicotine, which coils suit a thick liquid, what to do when something tastes off, and how it stacks up against other options.

Quick facts for reference:

• Brand and range: Ohm Brew, Badass Blend series
• Flavour: Spiced Up Strawberry
• Liquid volume: 50ml of e-liquid in a 60ml bottle
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg (nicotine-free shortfill)
• Ratio: shortfills in this style are normally high-VG, commonly around 70VG/30PG, so check the label on your bottle for the exact split
• Intended hardware: sub-ohm tanks and open-system kits, typically run between 30W and 80W
• Nicotine option: add one 10ml nicotine shot (sold separately) for roughly 3mg/ml
• Age restriction: adults aged 18 and over only

Where a figure in this guide depends on your device, your coil or your own vaping habits, we say so instead of presenting it as fixed. Treat the consumption and lifespan numbers as sensible estimates, not promises, because two people using the same bottle can get very different mileage from it.

Flavour profile: strawberry with a spiced edge

The name tells you the structure. Strawberry is the lead note, and the spice sits underneath and around it rather than replacing it. Think of the difference between plain strawberry sweets and a strawberry compote that has been cooked with a little warming spice: the fruit is still obviously the point, but the finish is rounder and slightly drier. Flavour perception is personal, so read this as a guide to what the profile is aiming for, not a guarantee of exactly what your palate will pick up.

What to expect across a typical puff:

• On the inhale: ripe, sweet strawberry that arrives quickly and fills the front of the mouth. This is the part most people recognise straight away.
• Mid-puff: the spiced layer comes forward, adding a gentle warmth and a little complexity. It should read as a background seasoning, not as a hot or peppery sensation.
• On the exhale: a lingering fruit sweetness with the spice tapering off last. There is no cooling element in the name, so expect a warm, rounded finish rather than an icy one.

Because the liquid is high-VG, the flavour tends to feel smooth and slightly sweeter than the same recipe in a 50/50 base. VG carries sweetness well and softens the throat, but it can also mute very fine flavour detail, which is why the spice is useful here: it gives your palate something to notice beyond straight sugar and fruit.

A few practical points that affect how the flavour comes across:

• Power matters. Spices tend to show more at moderate wattage. Run the coil too hot and the sweetness can become sharp and the spice can turn harsh. If you are unsure, start at the low end of the coil's rated range and nudge up in small steps.
• Fresh coils taste the clearest. Sweetened liquids leave a thin residue on the coil over time, and the fruit notes fade first. If the strawberry starts to taste flat or slightly burnt, a new coil usually brings it back.
• Give it a minute after mixing. If you add a nicotine shot, shake the bottle well and let it rest for a short while so the flavour and nicotine distribute evenly.
• Vaper's palate fatigue is real. Sweet fruit profiles can start to taste muted if you vape them continuously. Sip some water, or rotate with a second flavour for a day, and the strawberry often tastes brighter again.

If you prefer your fruit liquids very sharp and sour, this is likely to feel a touch mellow. If you prefer sweet and rounded with some warmth, it is closer to what you are looking for.

Performance and vapour production

With a shortfill, performance is mostly decided by two things: the liquid's VG/PG balance and the hardware you put it in. A high-VG liquid produces dense, thick vapour and a soft throat feel, which is why it is paired with sub-ohm coils that heat quickly and wick thick liquid efficiently. A thinner, higher-PG liquid would give a sharper hit but less cloud. This bottle is aimed at the first camp: smoother, more vapour, direct-to-lung style vaping.

How it behaves in practice:

• Vapour volume: expect generous, dense clouds on a sub-ohm coil at sensible power. Vapour output rises with wattage, but flavour usually peaks well before the maximum rating of the coil.
• Throat feel at 0mg: very soft, as there is no nicotine to add bite. Many people find 0mg liquid easy to vape but note that it does not satisfy a nicotine craving.
• Throat feel with a shot added: at roughly 3mg/ml the throat hit is noticeable but mild in a high-VG base. Going higher than this in a sub-ohm device can become harsh, because you inhale a large volume of liquid with each puff.
• Flavour consistency: because the recipe is built around one dominant fruit, it stays recognisable from the first tank to the last, provided the coil is in good condition.

How long does 50ml last? There is no single answer, because puff length, wattage and coil resistance all change how much liquid you use. As a rough guide, a moderate sub-ohm user might go through 3ml to 6ml per day, which puts a 50ml bottle at somewhere between eight and sixteen days. Someone who vapes lightly or switches between devices could stretch it to three weeks or more, and a heavy cloud-chaser at high wattage could finish it faster. A useful rule of thumb is that a typical tank holds 2ml to 5ml, so a 50ml bottle represents somewhere in the region of ten to twenty tank fills.

Wattage changes consumption more than most people expect. Moving a coil from 40W to 70W does not just make the vapour hotter, it also pulls noticeably more liquid through the wick per second. If your bottle seems to disappear quickly, lowering the wattage is the simplest way to extend it, and many people find the flavour improves as a side effect.

One honest limitation: because this is a thick liquid, it is not a good match for low-powered pod systems with fine, high-resistance coils. It can wick slowly in those devices, leading to dry-feeling puffs. Use it where it was intended and the performance is consistent.

Bottle design and build quality

A shortfill's packaging has to do more than hold liquid. It has to be easy to fill from, safe around children, and clear about what is inside. The Ohm Brew 50ml bottle follows the usual shortfill design: a 60ml plastic bottle holding 50ml of liquid, with a narrow dropper-style nozzle and a cap built to meet UK child-resistance and tamper-evidence requirements. Plastic is used because it is light, does not shatter in a bag, and can be squeezed gently to control flow.

What to look for when the bottle arrives:

• Tamper-evident seal: there should be an intact ring or seal around the cap. If it is broken or missing on arrival, do not use the liquid and contact us.
• Child-resistant cap: the cap needs a push-and-twist or similar action to open. This is a safety feature, so do not defeat it, and always store the bottle out of reach of children and pets.
• Label information: the label should show the flavour name, volume, VG/PG ratio, ingredients, batch details, an expiry or best-before date and the required UK warnings. Check these before mixing a nicotine shot.
• Nozzle fit: the thin nozzle is designed to fit into the fill port of most sub-ohm tanks. It also lets you pour in a nicotine shot without much spillage, though a funnel or steady hands help.

On build quality, the things that matter are that the bottle does not leak when squeezed lightly, the cap seats firmly and the label stays legible when handled with slightly sticky fingers. Those are practical measures, and bottles in this format usually do well on all three. The 10ml of empty space is deliberate: it is there for a nicotine shot, not an error in filling, so do not be alarmed when the bottle looks only five-sixths full.

A couple of handling tips: squeeze the bottle gently rather than hard, because a forceful squeeze can push out more liquid than you want in one go. Keep the nozzle clean by wiping it after each fill, otherwise dried liquid can build up and make the cap sticky. If you add a nicotine shot, you can reuse the empty 10ml shot bottle only as a labelled container for the same product, and it is safest to recycle it instead.

Nicotine strength guidance and how to mix it

The shortfill itself contains no nicotine. If you want nicotine, you add it yourself using a nicotine shot, and you control the final strength by what you add. Here is the arithmetic, because it is simple and worth understanding before you pour anything:

• No shot: 0mg/ml. Nicotine-free vaping.
• One 10ml shot at 18mg/ml in the 60ml bottle: the 10ml of nicotine liquid is diluted across 60ml, which gives about 3mg/ml.
• One 10ml shot at 20mg/ml: roughly 3.3mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg/ml: you need a larger empty bottle (at least 70ml) to hold 50ml plus 20ml, and the result is about 5mg/ml.
• Half a shot: adding 5ml of an 18mg/ml shot to 55ml total gives roughly 1.6mg/ml, a gentler option for people who want only a trace of nicotine.

Which strength should you choose? A broad guide for adult smokers or former smokers moving to a sub-ohm setup:

• 0mg: for people who vape out of habit or enjoy the flavour without needing nicotine, or who have already stepped down.
• 3mg/ml: the usual starting point for sub-ohm vaping. Because each puff delivers a lot of liquid, this strength is often enough for people who previously smoked a moderate amount.
• 5mg to 6mg/ml: for heavier previous smokers who find 3mg unsatisfying. The throat hit is stronger, so higher power or very hot vapour can feel harsh.

If you currently use a high-strength nicotine salt, such as 20mg/ml in a small pod kit, do not assume you can swap straight to a 6mg shortfill and feel the same. Sub-ohm vaping delivers nicotine differently, in larger volumes, so lower numbers can still feel substantial. Start low, give it a few days, and adjust if you need to.

A note on UK limits: nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml and sold in bottles of no more than 10ml. That cap applies to nicotine shots and to the nicotine salt liquids used in pod devices. Disposable vapes are no longer part of the picture either, because single-use vapes were banned from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025, so refillable kits with shortfills like this one are the route for anyone who wants flavour variety and lower running costs.

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. If you do not currently smoke or vape nicotine, there is no reason to start. This product is for adult smokers and existing vapers only.

Coil and mesh technology: matching hardware to a thick liquid

Because this liquid is high-VG, coil choice makes a bigger difference than it would with a thinner 50/50 juice. The coil's job is to wick liquid through cotton fast enough to keep up with the heat. If it cannot, you get dry hits, burnt taste and shortened coil life.

The coil types you will most commonly meet:

• Sub-ohm mesh coils (roughly 0.1 to 0.4 ohm): a flat sheet of fine mesh with a large surface area. They heat quickly and evenly, they handle high-VG liquid well and they tend to give the strongest flavour for a given wattage. This is the type this bottle suits most naturally.
• Round-wire sub-ohm coils (roughly 0.2 to 0.5 ohm): traditional wound wire in a cotton sleeve. They work, but mesh is generally better at keeping up with thick liquid.
• Higher-resistance coils (around 0.6 to 1.0 ohm): intended for lower power and tighter draws. A thick 70VG liquid can struggle to wick at these resistances in small pod systems, so check the tank's liquid specification before choosing this route.

Resistance and power are linked. A 0.2 ohm mesh coil typically runs happily at around 50W to 70W, while a 0.4 ohm coil prefers 30W to 50W. Each coil prints its recommended wattage range on the side or the packaging, and staying inside it gives you a sound balance of flavour and lifespan. If a coil has a very wide range, begin about a third of the way up from the bottom.

Priming is the step most people skip and then regret. A new coil needs saturated cotton before it is fired. Drip some liquid directly onto the exposed cotton through the holes in the coil, fill the tank, then wait five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks through. Thick liquid takes a little longer than thin liquid, so patience pays off.

Coil life is mostly determined by your power setting and how sweet your liquid is. As a guide, a coil will often last one to two weeks of regular use, although that can drop with a very sweet liquid or high power, or extend with careful use. Warning signs include a muted or burnt taste, gurgling, and visible dark residue on the cotton. Replace the coil rather than persisting, because a spent coil makes any flavour worse, not only this one.

Battery and charging: what your device needs to handle this liquid

E-liquid does not have a battery, but it does need a device that can power a sub-ohm coil properly, and that makes battery choice part of the decision. Under-powered hardware is one of the more common reasons a decent liquid disappoints, so it is worth understanding what your kit is doing.

Typical device types and what they need:

• Box mods and vape pens with replaceable cells: these use 18650 or 21700 lithium-ion batteries. Sub-ohm vaping demands high current, so use cells rated for continuous high discharge from a reputable supplier, and never mix old and new or different brands in a multi-cell device.
• Built-in battery sub-ohm kits: these charge through a USB-C or micro-USB port. Capacities commonly sit between about 1,500mAh and 3,000mAh, and higher capacity means longer between charges but not necessarily more power.

A little electrical reasoning helps. At 60W on a single cell with a 3.7V nominal voltage, the battery has to supply roughly 16 amps. A cell rated for a continuous discharge well above that gives you a safety margin, and a cell rated for less is working beyond its limit. Your device's manual will tell you what it needs, so follow it.

Battery life in real use depends on wattage. A 3,000mAh cell at about 40W might give a few hours of vaping, but running 70W will drain it noticeably faster. If you find yourself charging more than once a day, consider a device with a larger capacity, or two spare cells if the device uses removable ones.

Charging and safety habits worth keeping:

• Charge with the cable and plug that came with the device or one from a trusted brand. Cheap unbranded chargers are a common source of problems.
• Do not leave batteries charging unattended overnight, and do not charge on soft furnishings such as a bed or sofa.
• Carry spare cells in a case, never loose in a pocket with coins or keys.
• If a battery is damaged, swollen or has a torn wrap, stop using it.

When a battery or device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household waste or general recycling. Take it to a vape or electrical retailer that accepts waste electrical items, or to a household recycling centre with a battery or WEEE drop-off point. Many UK shops that sell vaping products offer take-back, and it is a legal requirement for them to do so.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should look elsewhere

Honest recommendations are more useful than a blanket pitch, so here is where this bottle makes sense and where it does not.

Good fit:

• Adult vapers using a sub-ohm tank or similar kit who want large, smooth clouds and a flavour that lasts through a full tank.
• People who enjoy fruit with a bit of character. If simple strawberry is too plain for you, the spice gives the profile more to think about.
• Anyone who likes to control their own nicotine. The shortfill format lets you choose 0mg or add a shot to reach a strength that suits you.
• Former smokers working down. Starting at 3mg and stepping to 0mg over time is a common path, and this format makes it easy because you can go from one strength to the next by simply buying another bottle without changing flavour.
• Cost-conscious vapers. A 50ml bottle generally costs less per millilitre than ten-millilitre bottles, which matters if you vape every day.

Probably not for you:

• Anyone who is under 18. Sales of vaping products to under-18s are illegal in the UK.
• Non-smokers. If you do not already smoke or vape nicotine, there is no health benefit to starting.
• People using small pod kits or low-power devices. A thick 70VG liquid can wick poorly in fine, high-resistance coils. A 50/50 nicotine salt liquid is a more suitable match for those.
• People who want an ice-heavy or menthol experience. This is a warm, spiced strawberry, not a cooling one.
• Anyone who wants a ready-to-vape bottle with nicotine already added. A shortfill needs a shot added. If you do not want to do the mixing, a 10ml bottle may be easier.
• People who are pregnant, have heart conditions or are on medication that could interact with nicotine should speak to a health professional first.

If you are unsure about the kit you own, check the tank or coil packaging. If it lists a sub-ohm resistance and a wattage range that begins somewhere around 20W or higher, you are in the right territory for a liquid like this. If it mentions pods, 1.0 ohm coils or a maximum of about 15W, a different liquid would be a better match.

How to use it: filling, mixing and priming step by step

If you are new to shortfills, the process is simple once you have done it once. Work through these steps in order and you will avoid most of the usual mistakes.

• Step 1, decide your strength. Choose 0mg (no shot), about 3mg (one 18mg shot) or something else using the figures in the nicotine section. Do this before opening anything.
• Step 2, prepare a clean surface. Wash your hands and use a tray or paper towel. Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin, so wipe up any spills straight away.
• Step 3, add the shot. Open the shortfill, then the nicotine shot, and pour the shot into the shortfill bottle. Do not pour a shot into a bottle that is already full.
• Step 4, close and shake. Fit the cap firmly and shake the bottle for 30 seconds to a minute. Shake gently once more before each refill of the tank.
• Step 5, wait. Leave the bottle upright for a few minutes so air bubbles can settle. Some people wait a few hours, which is not essential for most flavours.
• Step 6, prime the coil. Drip a few drops onto the cotton, fit the coil, fill the tank and wait five to ten minutes.
• Step 7, fill the tank. Fill slowly, avoid covering the central airflow tube and stop below the maximum line.
• Step 8, take a first test puff. Use a few short puffs at low power, then raise the wattage in small steps until the flavour is full without feeling hot.

Label your bottle clearly once you have added nicotine. A marker pen is enough for writing the strength and the date on the label, and it removes any confusion if you have more than one bottle around.

Two further habits are worth building. First, wipe the fill port and threads with a clean paper towel after each refill, because spilled liquid on a threaded joint often causes a leak that looks like a faulty tank. Second, keep a coil change schedule rather than waiting for it to fail: swapping a coil every week or two, or when the flavour dulls, is cheaper in the long run than persisting with a worn one and wasting liquid.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with shortfills come down to the coil, the wattage or the filling process rather than the liquid. Before concluding that a bottle is faulty, check the following.

• Burnt or harsh taste: the coil is probably worn, or it is not saturated. Replace it, prime it properly and drop the wattage a little. Do not keep firing a coil that already tastes burnt.
• Weak flavour on a new coil: thick liquid takes longer to saturate the cotton. Wait a few more minutes, then try again. If the problem continues, check that the wattage matches the coil's recommended range.
• Gurgling or spitting: the tank is over-full, the airflow is being blocked, or there is condensation in the chimney. Empty the chimney with a tissue and fill the tank to below the maximum line.
• Leaking from the tank: check that the coil is screwed in firmly, the o-rings are seated and the tank is not overfilled. Leaks often happen when a tank is carried upside down or kept warm in a pocket.
• Dry hit (hot, scratchy puff with no flavour): stop immediately. Refill, re-prime and make sure the wattage is not too high for the resistance of the coil.
• Weak throat hit with nicotine added: the shot may not be mixed in. Shake the bottle again for a full minute, and check the arithmetic against the strength you intended.
• Throat too harsh: the nicotine is higher than you need or the power is too high. Try less nicotine on the next bottle, or lower the wattage.
• Sticky residue on the bottle or tank: wipe with a damp cloth. This is normal for high-VG liquids and not a sign of a defect.
• Strange taste after a few days: if the liquid has been stored warm or in sunlight, it may have degraded. Smell it, and if it seems off, dispose of it responsibly.
• Bottle looks only partly full: this is intentional. There is 10ml of headroom for a nicotine shot.

If you have followed these steps and the liquid still tastes wrong, or the bottle arrived damaged, leaking or with a broken seal, contact us with your order number and a photo. We will look at it quickly and sort out a replacement or refund where it is warranted.

Value for money and how it compares

The simplest way to judge value is cost per millilitre and how many days a bottle lasts. A 50ml shortfill usually works out cheaper per millilitre than five 10ml bottles of nicotine salt or traditional 10ml e-liquid. The trade-off is that you need compatible hardware and a nicotine shot, and the shots are an extra cost. Even with a shot added, the saving is real for people who vape a lot, and the saving increases the more you vape.

As a worked example using the consumption range in the performance section: if a bottle lasts around ten days, and the price of that bottle plus a shot is roughly the cost of buying a few 10ml bottles over the same period, you gain a larger volume of the same flavour and lose only the minor effort of mixing. Check the live price on this page and divide it by 50 (or by 60 once you include the shot) to see your own cost per millilitre.

How it compares in fair terms:

• Against 10ml nicotine salts in a pod kit: salts are more convenient, need no mixing and suit small, discreet devices. They tend to cost more per millilitre and deliver far less vapour. If you like cloud and flavour volume, a shortfill is the better match; if you want pocketability, salts win.
• Against other UK shortfill brands such as Dinner Lady, IVG or Doozy Vape Co: these brands also sell fruit-led shortfills in similar 50ml and 100ml formats. Ohm Brew sits in the same space on price and format, and the choice often comes down to flavour. Spiced strawberry is a more specific profile than the plain or ice-heavy fruit blends many competitors lean on, so it is worth picking if the spice appeals and skipping if you prefer a simpler taste.
• Against dessert or custard shortfills: these are heavier and sweeter. A strawberry with spice feels lighter and is easier to vape all day, though it will not give you the dense, creamy satisfaction of a dessert liquid.
• Against mixing your own from concentrates: DIY is cheaper per millilitre but requires equipment, time and care. For most people, a ready-made shortfill removes the guesswork and provides a consistent result.

Where it is weaker: it is not a ready-to-use liquid with nicotine included, and the thick base does not suit all devices. These are limitations of the format rather than faults in the product, and they matter most if you own a small pod kit.

Overall, it is good value for adult vapers with a sub-ohm kit who vape regularly and want a flavour with more character than basic fruit, with the caveat that the real saving depends on how much you vape.

UK rules, storage, safety and recycling

A few UK-specific points are worth knowing before you buy, use and eventually dispose of the product.

Age and legality. You must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK. Our checkout is for adults only, and couriers may ask for proof of age on delivery. Never buy for anyone under 18.

Nicotine limits. UK regulations cap nicotine in e-liquid at 20mg/ml, and nicotine-containing liquids can be sold only in bottles of up to 10ml. That is why shortfills are supplied nicotine-free in larger bottles with space for a shot. Adding a nicotine shot yourself is legal and common, and nicotine-free liquid is simply classed differently.

Disposable vapes. Single-use vapes were banned from sale in the UK from 1 June 2025. Refillable devices and shortfills are the lawful alternative for anyone who wants variety and lower cost per millilitre.

Storage. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight, upright and with the cap on tightly. Heat and light can degrade e-liquid and make the flavour taste dull or sharp. Never leave it in a car on a warm day. Keep it away from children and pets at all times, as nicotine-containing liquid can be harmful if swallowed or if it gets onto skin.

Shelf life. Check the date on the label. Unopened and stored properly, e-liquid keeps for a long time. Once mixed with a nicotine shot, aim to use it within a few months so the flavour stays fresh.

Spills and first aid. If liquid containing nicotine gets onto your skin, wash with soap and water straight away. If it gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water. If it is swallowed, or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.

Recycling. Empty bottles and nicotine shot bottles can usually go into household plastic recycling after being drained and rinsed, although you should check your local council's rules on small plastics. Vape devices, batteries and chargers should not go in general waste. Take them to a household waste recycling centre with a WEEE drop-off, or return them to a retailer that takes back waste electricals. Never put lithium-ion batteries in a bin, because they can start fires in collection vehicles and recycling plants.

Health. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free, and nicotine is addictive. If you want to quit nicotine altogether, free local stop-smoking services in the UK can help, and stepping down through 3mg to 0mg is a common route.
