OhmThe Tangy Twister Ohm Brew Badass Blend 50ml by Ohm in Tangy Twister at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Ohm Brew Badass Blend Tangy Twister is a 50ml shortfill e-liquid from Ohm, sold as part of the Badass Blend line of nicotine-free, high-VG liquids made for refillable vape devices. The name is a fair summary of the intent: a tangy, tart-leaning fruit flavour with a sweet turn at the end, rather than the flat sugary candy character that some shortfills settle for. If you vape with a sub-ohm tank, a mesh-coil pod kit or an adjustable mod, and you like a flavour with some bite to it, this is the kind of bottle the format was built for.
This page covers what is in the bottle, how it tastes and behaves, how to add nicotine safely, which coils and devices suit it, and how it compares with the alternatives you are probably weighing up. It is written for UK vapers, so wherever we mention nicotine limits, bottle sizes, age checks or recycling, we mean the rules and drop-off options that apply here.
The key facts at a glance:
One thing to be clear about early: this is a liquid, not a device. Terms you may have seen on disposable product pages, such as puff count or built-in battery size, do not apply directly to a bottle. The equivalent measure here is millilitres, and the sections below translate 50ml into real-world use so you can judge how long it will last and what it costs per day.
An honest framing is also useful. Tangy Twister is a straightforward, mid-range fruit shortfill. It is not a complex boutique blend and we will not pretend otherwise. Its strengths are a clear flavour direction, a high-VG base suited to modern hardware, and a large volume at a low listed price. Its limits are that it needs a refillable device, it needs a separate nicotine shot if you want nicotine, and tart flavours are simply not to everyone's taste.
A shortfill is a nicotine-free e-liquid sold in a bottle that is larger than the amount of liquid inside it. Here that means 50ml of liquid in a 60ml bottle, which leaves about 10ml of empty space. UK rules limit nicotine-containing e-liquid to bottles of 10ml, which is why large bottles are sold at 0mg/ml and nicotine is added separately by the user, using a shot that you buy alongside the bottle.
The specification list, in plain terms:
The VG/PG split is worth understanding because it affects how the liquid behaves. Vegetable glycerine (VG) is thick and produces most of the visible vapour. Propylene glycol (PG) is thinner, carries flavour well and gives the throat hit. A 70/30 liquid is thick enough that it needs a coil with generous wicking holes, which is exactly why mesh and sub-ohm coils are the usual match. Thin, low-VG liquids flow easily through small pod coils, but a thick one can starve a coil that was not designed for it.
When you add a nicotine shot, the ratio shifts slightly. Most shots are made on a 50VG/50PG base. Mixing one 10ml shot into 50ml of a 70/30 liquid gives a final blend of roughly 67VG/33PG, which is still comfortably high-VG and behaves almost identically. If your shot is 100VG, the final figure rises to about 75VG/25PG. In either case the effect on performance is minor.
It also helps to convert volume into something you can picture. UK law caps vape tanks at 2ml, so 50ml is equivalent to around 25 full tank fills. Someone using 4ml a day would take about twelve days to finish a bottle, and a lighter user vaping 2ml to 3ml a day could stretch it to nearly three weeks. We return to this arithmetic in the value section.
There is no puff count for a bottle of liquid, because the number of puffs depends entirely on your device, your wattage and your draw length. Anyone who quotes a precise puff figure for a shortfill is estimating. Use millilitres per day instead, since that is a number you can measure by watching how often you refill.
Tart fruit is one of the harder styles to get right in a vape. The real thing has competing parts: sweet juice, a sharp acidic edge and a lingering aftertaste. Flavour houses mimic that acidity with specific concentrates, and the balance between those and the sweeteners decides whether a liquid tastes bright and lively or sickly and sharp. Tangy Twister is positioned on the tart side, and the name signals a flavour that wants to be noticed rather than one that sits quietly in the background.
Ohm does not publish a note-by-note tasting breakdown that we can quote, so we describe the profile in general terms and based on how tart fruit liquids behave in a high-VG base. Treat this as a guide rather than a guarantee, and use the label and your own palate as the final word.
That clean finish is a practical advantage over very heavy flavours. Thick custards, syrupy desserts and sweet candy profiles can leave a film in the mouth and tire your palate after a few hours, which vapers often call vaper's tongue. Tart fruit liquids are generally easier to vape for long stretches, and many people choose them as an all-day flavour for that reason.
Power matters too. At lower wattages the flavour is cooler and the tang is more pronounced. As you raise the power, the vapour warms up, the sweetness comes forward and the sharp edge softens. Some people prefer to start low and move up in small steps until the balance suits them. If the tang feels a touch harsh on the throat, dropping the wattage by a few watts is often enough to calm it.
If you are new to tart flavours, expect an adjustment period. Your first few draws may feel sharper than you expect, particularly if you normally vape creamy or sweet liquids. Give the bottle a proper try across a full tank before deciding, since the first few puffs of a fresh coil do not always show a liquid at its most balanced.
The wider Badass Blend line includes other fruit-led profiles, such as Groovy Grapefruit, Sour Blueberry, Watermelon Sugar and Strawberry Chew, all listed separately on this site. If you enjoy Tangy Twister, those are natural flavours to try next, and if you find it a little too sharp, the sweeter options in the line may suit you better.
Performance with a shortfill comes down to three things: the liquid's thickness, the coil and the power you run. Because Tangy Twister is a high-VG liquid, it is designed to produce dense vapour from sub-ohm and mesh hardware. In a suitable tank at a sensible wattage you should expect a full, smooth draw with plenty of visible vapour, and a flavour that holds up across the length of the tank rather than fading after the first few puffs.
Here is what to expect in practice:
It is worth being realistic about what a high-VG shortfill will not do. It is not designed for a tight, restricted mouth-to-lung draw on a tiny pod coil, and it will not suit devices that need a thin liquid to wick properly. Forcing a thick liquid through a coil built for nicotine salts leads to dry hits, gurgling and a short coil life. Match the liquid to the hardware and the problems largely disappear.
Power also affects efficiency. Running a coil at the top of its recommended range burns through liquid faster, shortens coil life and can make a tart flavour taste harsher. Running at the lower or middle end preserves the flavour and the coil. A sensible approach is to start about a third of the way up the coil's range and adjust in two-watt steps.
Consumption varies a lot, so here are rough guides. A light user on a pod kit may use 2ml to 3ml a day. A typical sub-ohm user is more often in the 4ml to 6ml range. A heavy cloud-chasing user at high wattage can get through 8ml to 10ml. At those rates, a 50ml bottle lasts anywhere from about five days to three weeks. Track your own use for a few days and you will have a reliable figure for planning reorders.
A 50ml shortfill is not a design object, and the practical way to judge it is whether the packaging does its job: keeps the liquid sealed, is easy to fill from, and carries the information UK law requires. The standard format for this category is a soft plastic 60ml bottle with a narrow nozzle that slides into a tank's filling port without spilling. The closure is normally child-resistant and tamper-evident. Soft plastic lets you squeeze gently to control the flow, and it is far less likely to crack than a rigid bottle if you drop it.
Things worth checking when your bottle arrives:
The 10ml of empty headspace is a design feature rather than wasted space. It is there so you can add a nicotine shot without the bottle overflowing, and it also gives you room to shake the bottle properly so the liquid and the shot mix fully. If you are staying at 0mg, the headspace simply does no harm.
Build quality in this category is mostly about consistency: the cap threads cleanly, the bottle does not weep around the neck, and the nozzle does not drip after you finish filling. Pressing the bottle too hard while filling is the most common cause of mess, so squeeze gently, tilt the bottle slowly and wipe the nozzle clean before replacing the cap.
Because the bottle holds a large volume, it is worth keeping it upright and tightly closed in a cool place when not in use, and keeping the original box or label information to hand in case you need to quote the batch number to the retailer.
Coil choice matters more than almost any other factor when you vape a thick shortfill. Tangy Twister is a high-VG liquid, so you want a coil with large wicking openings that let the liquid reach the heating element quickly. That is why mesh coils have become the standard match for liquids of this type.
A mesh coil uses a flat sheet of fine metal mesh as the heating element instead of a round wire wrapped around cotton. The large surface area heats the liquid evenly, wicks thick liquid quickly and tends to deliver a more consistent flavour from the first puff to the last. Round-wire sub-ohm coils work too, though they can be more sensitive to thick liquid and low wattage.
Rough hardware guidance for this liquid:
New coils need priming. Before the first puff, drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed wicking area, fill the tank, then wait five to ten minutes so the cotton or mesh wicking is fully saturated. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt taste and a ruined coil on the first fill, and it is a mistake that is easy to avoid.
Coil lifespan depends on power, vaping style and the liquid. Sweetened fruit liquids tend to leave residue on the coil over time, so most users change a coil every one to two weeks. Signs of a tired coil include muted or dull flavour, a faint burnt note and a drop in vapour. Replace it rather than trying to push through, because a worn coil makes even a good liquid taste poor.
Finally, remember the UK tank limit of 2ml. Tanks sold here are capped at that size, which means frequent refills when vaping a sub-ohm device. Keep the bottle close and use the narrow nozzle to fill neatly, and always fill with the device switched off or locked.
The bottle contains no battery, so there is nothing in Tangy Twister itself to charge. The device you pair it with, however, does have one, and getting the battery side right is part of vaping safely and getting a consistent result.
Battery sizes vary widely by device type:
Sensible charging habits protect both you and the battery:
Matching the battery to the coil is also a safety issue. A coil needs a certain amount of current, and a battery needs to be able to supply it. With a mod, check that the cell's discharge rating suits the wattage you plan to run. If you are unsure, run at a lower power and consult the device's manual.
When it is time to dispose of things, do it properly. Vape devices, pods and batteries should never go in household rubbish or ordinary recycling bins, because lithium cells cause fires in collection vehicles and waste sites. Take them to a battery recycling point, which many supermarkets and retailers provide, or to your local council's household waste recycling centre. Many vape retailers also accept used devices. Empty 60ml plastic bottles can usually go in household plastic recycling once they are empty, but check your own council's guidance, since some do not accept small items. Used coils are small and metallic, so bag them up and take them to a waste centre or a retailer's drop-off point.
Tangy Twister arrives at 0mg/ml, which means nicotine is entirely your choice. That flexibility is one of the main reasons people buy shortfills, but it also means you need to understand the arithmetic before you start adding anything to the bottle.
UK law caps e-liquid nicotine strength at 20mg/ml and limits nicotine-containing bottles to 10ml. A nicotine shot is a 10ml bottle of concentrated nicotine liquid, normally 18mg/ml for a freebase shot or 20mg/ml for a nic salt shot. Adding one to a 50ml shortfill gives a 60ml total, and the final strength is the shot's nicotine divided by 60:
Why do sub-ohm users tend to use lower strengths than pod users? Because a sub-ohm device delivers far more liquid and vapour with every puff. You inhale much more nicotine per draw than you would from a small pod at the same strength. A strength that feels mild in a low-power pod can feel strong in a high-power sub-ohm tank. This is the most common reason new sub-ohm users overshoot.
Some practical guidance:
Freebase shots deliver a throat hit that some people find harsh on a tart liquid, while nic salt shots feel smoother at the same strength. Either works in a sub-ohm tank, although the smoother feel of nic salts can be an advantage if you find the tang already sharp enough without extra throat hit.
If you do not currently smoke or use nicotine, stay at 0mg. Nicotine is addictive and vaping is not recommended for non-smokers or anyone under 18. If you are using a vape to quit smoking, the NHS provides free support and advice, and a local stop-smoking service can help you plan a gradual reduction.
No flavour suits everyone, and being clear about the audience saves you money and frustration. Here is a straightforward breakdown.
It is likely to suit you if:
You may want to skip it, or choose something else, if:
It is also worth being honest about the practical side. Using a shortfill involves handling liquid, mixing in a shot if you want nicotine, maintaining a tank and replacing coils. Many people find this takes a couple of weeks to become routine, and the learning curve is real. If you are new to refillable vaping, a local vape shop can help you choose a starter kit that suits the liquid.
Health note: if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or have any other medical concern, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products. The NHS describes vaping as far less harmful than smoking for adult smokers, but it is not risk free, and the safest option for anyone who does not smoke is not to start.
Using a shortfill properly is simple once you have done it a couple of times. Here is a step-by-step routine.
Label any mixed bottle clearly with the nicotine strength and the date, so that nobody confuses it with a nicotine-free one. Never decant liquid into a container that looks like a drink, and keep all bottles out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine is poisonous if swallowed or absorbed through the skin in quantity.
Storage affects flavour. Keep the bottle upright, tightly capped, in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard, away from radiators, windows and warm cars. Heat and light degrade flavourings and darken the liquid over time. Unopened and stored well, e-liquid commonly keeps its quality for a year or two. Once opened and mixed with a shot, it is sensible to use it within a few months.
If you switch to a different flavour, empty and rinse the tank, let it dry completely and fit a fresh coil. Otherwise the old flavour can linger and muddy the new one, particularly when going from a tart fruit liquid to a creamy or minty one.
If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water for several minutes and seek advice. If someone swallows it, call 999 or NHS 111 straight away and have the bottle ready.
Most problems with shortfills come down to the coil, the power setting or how the tank is filled. Here are the usual culprits and the usual fixes.
When something goes wrong, change one thing at a time. If you swap the coil, the wattage and the liquid all at once, you will not know which fix solved the problem. Start with the coil, since it is the most frequent cause, then check the power and the fill level.
If you have a persistent problem with the liquid itself, such as a leak from the bottle, a broken seal or an unusual smell, keep the packaging and the batch number from the label and contact the shop. Provide clear photos and a brief description, and the team can advise on the next step.
The main argument for a 50ml shortfill is cost per millilitre. A single bottle holds as much liquid as around 25 standard 2ml tank fills, so you pay for liquid rather than for a battery, a plastic shell and packaging that are all thrown away together. To compare fairly, divide the bottle price shown on this page by 50 to get a cost per millilitre, then multiply by your daily use to find your daily cost. A nicotine shot, if you use one, is an extra cost, so include it when you compare against a bottle that comes pre-mixed.
It is also worth factoring in the set-up cost. You need a refillable device and replacement coils, which typically cost a few pounds each and need changing every week or two. The first month costs more than later ones, but over a longer period the saving is usually clear.
How the format compares with other routes:
Where Tangy Twister makes sense is for someone who specifically wants a tart fruit flavour in a high-VG base at a reasonable price, and who does not need to pay for a premium boutique label. If you vape a couple of millilitres a day, a 50ml bottle will last several weeks, which stretches the value further. If you vape heavily, buying several bottles in one order can cut the number of deliveries.
Fair warning on the downside: because it is a straightforward flavour, there is little hidden complexity to discover over time. If you like layered, evolving flavours, you may find it simple. If you want a clear, bright, easy-to-vape fruit liquid, simplicity is the point.

The bottle is supplied at 0mg/ml, so the choice is yours. Adding one 10ml shot at 18mg/ml gives roughly 3mg/ml, which suits most light to moderate smokers on sub-ohm kits, and two shots in a larger bottle give about 6mg/ml. If you do not need nicotine at all, vape it at 0mg and add nothing.
No. Under UK rules a bottle larger than 10ml cannot contain nicotine, so the 50ml of liquid is nicotine-free. The 60ml bottle has 10ml of space for a shot you buy separately, and you mix it in by shaking the bottle for at least 30 seconds.
The liquid does not need charging, but your device does. Use the USB-C cable supplied with the kit and a standard wall plug or computer port, do not leave it charging unattended, and stop using any battery that swells or overheats. Removable cells are safest in a proper external charger.
Yes, the range includes other fruit and sweet profiles that are listed separately on this site, so check the Ohm Brew listings for the current selection. To change flavour, empty and rinse the tank, dry it and fit a fresh coil so the old taste does not carry over.
It depends on your device and habits. Light pod-kit users at 2ml to 3ml a day can make it last close to three weeks, typical sub-ohm users at 4ml to 6ml a day about 8 to 12 days, and heavy users at 8ml or more about a week. 50ml is the same volume as around 25 fills of a standard 2ml tank.
In cost per millilitre, yes. You pay for liquid rather than for a throwaway battery and shell, and over a month the saving is usually clear. You do need a refillable device and replacement coils, so the first month costs more than later ones. Disposables have also been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025.
It suits adult smokers and ex-smokers with a sub-ohm or mesh pod kit who like tart fruit flavours. It does not suit non-smokers, anyone under 18, people who want a high-strength nic salt for a tight pod device, or anyone who prefers sweet dessert flavours. If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, speak to a doctor first.
A mesh coil rated for high-VG liquid is the safest match. Run a 0.15 to 0.4 ohm sub-ohm coil at roughly 40W to 80W, or a 0.6 to 0.8 ohm pod coil at 15W to 30W, always inside the range printed on the coil. Start low and raise the power in small steps until the flavour feels right.

Really pleased with the order overall. Everything arrived as expected, well packed, fast dispatch.
Ordered Wednesday evening, arrived Thursday morning. Everything sealed, genuine, exactly what I expected.
Taste is proper — no chemical aftertaste or anything. Just clean flavour throughout. Love it.
Been looking for something like this for ages. Finally found a brand that doesn't disappoint.
Switched from a well-known brand and this is actually better, especially for the price. Will reorder.
Delivery was super fast and the product is genuine. I've had fakes before so this was a relief.
