Overview: Ohm Brew Badass Blend Watermelon Sugar 50ml

Ohm Brew Badass Blend Watermelon Sugar is a 50ml shortfill e-liquid from the Ohm brand, made for vapers who like a sweet, fruit-led flavour and want control over their own nicotine strength. A shortfill is sold with 50ml of nicotine-free liquid inside a larger 60ml bottle. That spare 10ml of headroom lets you add a single 10ml nicotine shot if you want a nicotine-containing vape, or you can leave the bottle as it is and vape at 0mg. It is a flexible format, and it is the reason shortfills have become a standard choice for UK sub-ohm and mesh-coil users.

Watermelon Sugar is a straightforward fruit profile. You get juicy, ripe watermelon up front with a gentle sugared sweetness that rounds off the exhale. It does not try to be a layered dessert or a blend of five fruits, and that simplicity is part of the appeal. It is easy to vape through a whole tank without the flavour feeling heavy, provided you are comfortable with sweet liquids in general.

This guide walks through everything a buyer is likely to ask before ordering. It covers:

• The practical specifications of the bottle and the liquid.
• What the flavour actually tastes like, and how it behaves at different power levels.
• Which coils, tanks and devices suit a high-VG shortfill.
• How to choose a nicotine strength and mix a shot safely.
• Troubleshooting, value for money and honest comparisons with other UK brands.

One note up front. Vaping is not risk-free and nicotine is addictive. E-liquids are sold in the UK to adults aged 18 and over only, and this product is aimed at adult smokers and existing vapers. If you do not currently smoke or vape, there is no benefit in starting.

Specifications at a glance

Before getting into flavour and performance, here are the figures that matter when you are deciding whether this bottle fits your setup. Where a detail can vary between batches, we say so rather than guess, so always check the label on the bottle you receive.

• Product: Ohm Brew Badass Blend, Watermelon Sugar flavour.
• Format: 50ml shortfill in a 60ml bottle, which leaves 10ml of free space.
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg/ml. The liquid itself contains no nicotine.
• Nicotine shot capacity: one 10ml shot fits in the spare space, giving roughly 3mg/ml in the finished 60ml.
• VG/PG ratio: shortfills in this style are typically high-VG, commonly around 70VG/30PG. Confirm the exact ratio on your bottle label.
• Flavour family: sweet fruit, watermelon with a light sugared finish.
• Best hardware: sub-ohm tanks and mesh coils in roughly the 0.15 to 0.8 ohm range, running about 25W to 80W depending on the coil.
• Also works in: RDTAs, RDAs and higher-resistance pod systems that are rated for thicker liquids.
• Not ideal for: very small, low-wattage pod devices with tight coils over 1.0 ohm that are designed for thin, high-PG nicotine salt liquid.

A word on UK rules, because they shape how this product is sold. Nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml and sold in bottles of no more than 10ml, which is why the nicotine shot is a separate product and why the shortfill itself carries 0mg. Nicotine-containing tanks are capped at 2ml, which is why UK sub-ohm tanks tend to be sold with a 2ml capacity. The same 20mg/ml ceiling applies to nicotine-containing pods and the disposable products you may see elsewhere, and it is the reason a 'high-strength' product in the UK is never as strong as the equivalent bought abroad.

None of these limits are a drawback in practice. A 3mg to 6mg freebase mix delivers a perfectly workable nicotine hit for sub-ohm vaping, and the 20mg/ml cap simply keeps nicotine salt products in a sensible range.

Flavour profile: what Watermelon Sugar tastes like

The headline note is watermelon, and it leans towards the ripe, juicy side rather than the sharp, candy-sour side. On the inhale you get a soft wave of sweet melon with a slightly watery, refreshing quality. That is the character most people associate with fresh watermelon rather than the artificial sweet-shop version. As the vapour settles on the palate, the 'sugar' half of the name arrives: a fine, powdery sweetness that sits on the lips and tongue and lingers a little on the exhale.

It is worth setting expectations honestly. This is a sweet e-liquid. If you normally vape tobacco, menthol or a dry, tart fruit, the sugar element may feel generous at first. If you already vape ice creams, bubblegum or candy-style fruit liquids, you will find it familiar and probably a little lighter than those.

Here is how the flavour tends to change with the way you vape it:

• Lower wattage (cooler vape): the watermelon is more delicate and refreshing, and the sugary finish becomes more noticeable on the exhale.
• Mid wattage (warm vape): a more rounded profile where the fruit and the sweetness arrive together. This is where most users will land.
• Higher wattage (hot vape): the fruit note thickens and moves towards a cooked or candied character, and sweetness can start to dominate. Past the coil's recommended range you may also notice a dull, muted taste.

There is no strong menthol or ice component in this flavour, and that is deliberate. If you want a chilled finish you can add a few drops of a separate cooling additive, though it is worth testing in a small amount first so you do not flatten the watermelon. We would not describe the flavour as complicated, and we would not want it to be. Single-fruit profiles succeed when they are clean and recognisable, and this one is.

Because the flavour is sweet, it is sensible to expect some coil residue over time. We cover how to manage that in the troubleshooting section below.

Performance and vapour delivery

Vapour production and throat hit are driven mainly by two things: the VG/PG ratio of the liquid and the hardware you put it in. A high-VG shortfill like this produces dense, smooth vapour with a mild throat hit, and it suits the airy draw of a sub-ohm tank. VG is thicker and sweeter than PG, which carries flavour well but needs a coil with enough wicking surface to keep up.

In a typical 0.2 to 0.4 ohm mesh coil at the middle of its rated wattage range, you can expect:

• Dense, soft clouds: the vapour is thick but not harsh, which most people find comfortable for long sessions.
• A gentle throat hit at 0mg to 3mg: there is very little scratch, which is why this suits people who dislike a sharp hit.
• Good flavour definition: mesh coils spread heat over a wider surface, which helps the melon note come through without scorching the sugars.
• Moderate liquid consumption: sub-ohm vaping uses more liquid than pod vaping. Expect a 50ml bottle to last a heavy user a few days and a lighter user a week or more.

Because this is liquid rather than a pre-built device, there is no official puff count. As a rough planning figure, a 50ml bottle in a sub-ohm tank is commonly estimated at somewhere in the region of 1,500 to 3,000 puffs, but this swings widely with coil resistance, wattage, draw length and how often you vape. A 0.8 ohm coil at 25W sips liquid slowly. A 0.15 ohm coil at 70W can empty a 2ml tank in a morning. Treat any puff figure as a ballpark, not a promise.

One practical point on wicking. High-VG liquid is thicker than the thin liquids used in small pod kits, so give each new coil a few minutes to soak before the first draw, and use shorter puffs when you start. Pulling hard on a dry coil is the quickest way to get a burnt taste and to shorten coil life, and it has nothing to do with the liquid itself.

If you find the vapour too warm at your preferred power, drop the wattage in 2W to 3W steps rather than opening the airflow all the way. That balances flavour and temperature better than airflow alone.

Bottle design and build quality

The liquid ships in a 60ml plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, which is the standard format for UK shortfills. It is the nozzle that does the real work. A slim tip lets you fill small tank ports and pod openings without spilling, and the bottle is soft enough to squeeze gently so you can control the flow.

The 60ml size is the practical design feature that makes the nicotine shot option possible. With 50ml inside, there is exactly 10ml of room for a standard shot. If you buy the bottle and decide you want to stay at 0mg, the empty headroom has a second benefit: it makes shaking easier and leaves space for the liquid to move.

Things worth checking when your bottle arrives:

• Tamper seal and cap: the cap should be intact and the seal unbroken. If either is damaged, contact the shop before using it.
• Child-resistant closure: UK rules require child-resistant caps on nicotine e-liquid containers. Check your cap and keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets at all times.
• Label information: the label should show the flavour, volume, VG/PG ratio and the required health and warning information.
• Nozzle condition: the tip should be clean and free of plastic burrs.

We would not describe the packaging as luxurious. It is practical plastic, designed to be handled, shaken and refilled over and over. That suits the product. A good shortfill bottle is judged by whether it pours cleanly and seals properly, not by how it looks on a shelf.

On the environmental side, empty e-liquid bottles are generally plastic and should be rinsed out and placed in your household plastics recycling where your local authority accepts them. Check the recycling symbol on the label and your council's guidance, as some areas treat small narrow-necked plastics differently. The bottle is the easy part. Any batteries, vape devices or coils that you use alongside this liquid are covered by electrical waste (WEEE) rules, and the sensible route for those is a retailer take-back scheme or a local recycling drop-off point rather than the general bin.

Store the bottle upright, in a cool, dark place, with the cap tightened. Heat and direct sunlight darken the liquid over time and can change the taste.

Battery and charging: matching the right device

E-liquid does not contain a battery, so there is nothing to charge in the bottle itself. What matters is the battery in the device you pair it with, because high-VG liquid works best on hardware that can supply steady power. This section covers the practical numbers.

For sub-ohm kits and box mods, the battery usually decides how long you can vape between charges:

• Removable 18650 cells (about 2,500mAh to 3,500mAh): common in single and dual battery mods. A good cell gives a full day of mixed use at 30W to 50W.
• Built-in battery kits (about 1,500mAh to 3,000mAh): convenient and compact, though at higher wattage they may need a top-up charge during the day.
• Small pod kits (about 400mAh to 1,000mAh): fine for light use, but a thick liquid in a tight coil can strain a small battery. Check the maker's guidance for the liquids it supports.

Basic charging habits will protect your battery and your safety:

• Use the charger and cable supplied with the device, or a reputable replacement. Avoid unbranded chargers of unknown quality.
• Do not leave batteries charging unattended or overnight, and never charge on a bed or sofa.
• Do not carry loose removable cells in a pocket with coins or keys. Use a proper battery case.
• Stop using a battery that has a torn wrap, a dented casing or that feels hot in use.

Match your wattage to your coil rather than the battery's maximum output. A coil is usually printed with a recommended range, for example 40W to 60W, and the flavour and vapour from this watermelon liquid will be cleaner when you stay inside it. Running a mesh coil at the bottom of its range will extend battery life as well as reduce liquid consumption.

At end of life, vape batteries should not go in household bins. Used vape devices and cells can be taken to the retailer you bought them from, which is required by UK electrical waste rules to take back like-for-like items, or to a local authority recycling centre with a battery drop-off point. This is both a legal and a safety issue, because damaged lithium cells can cause fires in waste lorries.

Coil and mesh tech: what works with a high-VG shortfill

Choosing the right coil will do more for your experience of this liquid than almost any other decision. A high-VG, sweet fruit liquid needs a coil that heats evenly and wicks quickly. Here is how the main coil types behave.

• Mesh coils (0.15 to 0.4 ohm): a flat sheet of mesh gives a large heating surface and fast wicking. For a sweet shortfill this is the first thing we suggest. You get consistent flavour, quick ramp-up and a longer coil life than older wire designs when the coil is looked after.
• Wire-wound sub-ohm coils (0.2 to 0.6 ohm): still common and entirely usable. Flavour can be a touch more concentrated, but hot spots on the wire can make sugary liquids caramelise sooner.
• Higher-resistance mesh or MTL-style coils (0.6 to 1.0 ohm): suited to tighter draws and lower wattage. They work with high-VG liquid if the wicking ports are large enough. Expect a slightly warmer, more flavour-focused vape.
• Rebuildable atomisers (RDA, RDTA): give you control over coil build and wicking. Experienced builders often enjoy fruit shortfills in these, but they are not an entry-level choice.

The tank itself matters as well. Look for a tank with generous liquid ports on the coil head and an airflow that can be reduced for a tighter draw. Remember that UK-market tanks are capped at 2ml, so you will refill more often than you would on a larger overseas tank. Most UK tanks have a fill port that suits the narrow nozzle on this bottle.

Coil life depends on liquid, power and habits. Sweet liquids contain more sugar-type compounds that can build up on a coil as a dark residue, which dulls flavour. As a rough guide, many users get one to three weeks from a mesh coil with this style of liquid, though heavy use and high wattage shorten that. Signs that a coil is ready to be replaced include a muted taste, a faint burnt note that does not clear after priming and a visibly dark or gunky coil head.

To get more life out of each coil, prime it properly, avoid chain vaping, and keep your wattage at the middle of the rated range rather than the top. Those three habits are worth more than any special accessory.

Nicotine strength guidance

The liquid in the bottle is nicotine-free, so the strength you vape depends on whether you add a shot and how much. Here is how the maths works for a 60ml bottle containing 50ml of liquid.

• 0mg: leave the bottle as supplied. Suitable for people who vape purely for flavour, or who have already stepped down from nicotine.
• About 3mg/ml: add one 10ml nicotine shot (commonly 18mg/ml) to the spare space. The result is roughly 3mg/ml in 60ml, a gentle strength used by many sub-ohm vapers.
• About 6mg/ml: pour out 10ml of the shortfill first, then add two 10ml shots, which brings you back to 60ml. This suits people coming from cigarettes or from mid-strength liquids who vape at lower wattage.

Higher strengths are rarely a good idea in a sub-ohm device. Because you inhale a lot of vapour per puff, a high nicotine strength can be harsh and can cause dizziness, nausea or headaches. If you are used to 18mg or 20mg nicotine salts in a small pod kit, you will find that a freebase mix at 3mg to 6mg in a sub-ohm tank delivers a different kind of experience: more vapour and flavour, less concentrated throat hit.

A few useful points:

• UK law caps nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20mg/ml. That cap applies to the finished mix and to the disposable and pod products you see across the market. A 3mg to 6mg mix is well below it.
• Nicotine salt shots deliver a smoother hit than freebase shots at the same strength. Some people prefer them in a mixed 50ml bottle for that reason.
• If you start to feel jittery, sweaty or lightheaded, you may be taking in more nicotine than you want. Reduce the strength, take shorter puffs or use a higher-resistance coil.
• If you are using vaping to stop smoking, speak to a local stop smoking service or pharmacist. They can help you choose a starting strength and build a plan to reduce over time.

As a rule, start lower than you think you need. It is easy to mix a stronger bottle next time and harder to cope with one that is too strong.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should skip it

Not every liquid suits every vaper. Here is an honest view of who is likely to enjoy Watermelon Sugar and who would do better elsewhere.

This e-liquid is a good fit if:

• You already use a sub-ohm tank or mesh-coil kit and want a fruit flavour for daily use.
• You enjoy sweet vapes such as candy fruit, bubblegum or dessert flavours, and want something fresher and lighter.
• You like to control your own nicotine and want the option to mix 0mg, 3mg or 6mg from a single bottle.
• You are looking for a flavour that is easy to recognise and does not demand attention to enjoy.
• You are an adult smoker who has moved to vaping and want a pleasant alternative to tobacco flavours.

You should probably look elsewhere if:

• You use a small, low-power pod kit with a tight coil. High-VG liquid may wick slowly and cause dry hits in those devices. A nicotine salt in a 50/50 blend is a better match.
• You dislike sweet flavours. Even a fruit liquid with a light sugar note can feel sugary if you normally vape tobacco, menthol or sharp sour flavours.
• You want a very strong throat hit. A high-VG shortfill at low nicotine is gentle by nature.
• You want the convenience of a ready-to-use product with nicotine already added. In that case a nicotine salt bottle or a pod refill is simpler than a shortfill.

It is also worth saying who this product is not for. It is not for anyone under 18, for non-smokers who have never vaped, or for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding without advice from a healthcare professional. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or other health concerns, speak with your GP before using a nicotine product. If you are unsure whether vaping suits you, a stop smoking adviser can help you decide.

For most adult vapers who already use a sub-ohm setup, the main question is simply whether you like sweet watermelon, which is easy to find out with a single bottle.

How to mix, steep and use it

Getting the best from a shortfill takes about five minutes of preparation. Follow these steps in order.

• Decide on your strength. If you want 0mg, skip straight to the shaking step. If you want nicotine, open the bottle and decant the right amount of liquid first (nothing for 3mg, 10ml for 6mg).
• Add the nicotine shot. Squeeze the shot into the bottle through the nozzle. Wash your hands afterwards, and avoid skin contact with liquid that contains nicotine.
• Close the cap tightly and shake. Give it a firm, thorough shake for around 30 seconds. Many people skip this step, which is the main reason that some mixes taste patchy.
• Let it rest. Leave the bottle upright for a few hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavour and nicotine blend settle. Fruit liquids do not need long steeping, but a short rest makes a visible difference to smoothness.
• Prime a new coil. Fill the tank, put a few drops straight onto the coil head, wait five to ten minutes, and then take a couple of gentle puffs without firing at full power.
• Start at the low end of the coil's wattage range. Increase in small steps until the flavour and warmth feel right.

Everyday handling tips:

• Fill the tank with the device switched off and the airflow closed, to avoid flooding.
• Do not fill above the maximum line or into the central chimney.
• Wipe up spills straight away, and do not let nicotine liquid sit on skin or surfaces.
• Keep the cap on when not in use and store the bottle upright.
• Do not share your device with anyone, and never vape and drive at the same time.

The vapour from this liquid is thick, so take slower, lighter draws rather than long hard pulls. A three to four second draw, with a pause of ten to fifteen seconds between puffs, gives the coil time to re-wick and protects the flavour. If you are new to sub-ohm devices, keep sessions short to start with and listen to how your body responds.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with a shortfill come down to the coil, the power setting or the mixing process rather than the liquid itself. Here are the usual problems and what to try.

• Burnt taste: usually a dry or worn coil. Check the tank level, give the coil time to soak, drop the wattage and take shorter puffs. If the burnt taste returns after priming, replace the coil.
• Muted or weak flavour: often a sign of coil gunk, which builds up faster with sweet liquids. Replace the coil, or try a lower wattage. Vaping the same flavour for days can also dull your sense of taste, a problem sometimes called vaper's tongue. A short break or a different flavour can reset it.
• Gurgling or leaking: a flooded coil or over-filled tank. Wipe the airflow, blow gently through the drip tip with the device off, and refill below the maximum line. Check that the tank is fully tightened and the O-rings are not damaged.
• Dry hits with a full tank: thick liquid is wicking too slowly. Try a lower wattage, open any wicking port, choose a coil with larger inlet holes or step down to a slightly lower VG liquid blend.
• Harsh throat hit after adding nicotine: the strength may be too high for your device. Reduce the shot, vape at a lower wattage or use a larger-airflow setting. Shake the bottle again if the nicotine has not mixed evenly.
• Liquid tastes different from the first bottle: check the storage conditions. Heat, light and air exposure can darken the liquid and change the flavour over time. A different batch may also vary slightly.
• Device will not fire or fires weakly: check the battery charge, clean the contacts and confirm the coil is screwed in correctly. If problems continue, try another coil before blaming the device.

If you have tried these steps and think there is a fault with the liquid itself, such as an unusual smell, a separated mixture that will not recombine after shaking or a damaged seal, stop using it and contact us with your order number and a photo of the bottle and label. We would rather resolve a problem than have you vape something that does not seem right.

If you ever feel unwell while vaping, stop and get fresh air. Nicotine poisoning from swallowing or skin contact is a risk with any nicotine liquid, so in an emergency contact NHS 111 or 999, depending on severity.

Value for money and how it compares

Shortfills in the UK generally sit in a price range that runs from around £8 to £15 for a 50ml bottle, depending on brand, promotions and multi-buy offers. Check the current price on this page, as it can change. The more useful way to judge value is to look at what you get for the money: 50ml of liquid, 10ml of room for a shot and enough volume to last several days of sub-ohm vaping.

When we compare it fairly to other popular brands, the picture looks like this:

• Dinner Lady and similar fruit-and-dessert ranges: well known, with a wide flavour list and a strong reputation. Prices are often similar or slightly higher. The flavour profiles tend to be more layered, with extra cooling or dessert notes. If you want a simpler, single-fruit profile, Ohm Brew's approach is easier to read.
• Doozy Vape and IVG: both offer extensive ranges with frequent promotions. Their sweet fruit lines are strong competitors and often have bold, candy-led profiles. If you want something more intense or more sour, they may suit you better. If you want a gentler watermelon, this bottle is a good match.
• Budget shortfills at the lower end of the price range: they can be perfectly drinkable, but the flavour is sometimes thinner or the sweetness harsher. Paying slightly more can mean a cleaner taste, though it is not guaranteed, so read reviews where you can.
• Nicotine salt pod refills and prefilled pods: cheaper per device and more convenient for beginners, but they do not give you the vapour volume or the mixing flexibility of a shortfill. They also work with different hardware.
• Disposable vapes: single-use disposable vapes are now banned from sale in the UK, which makes refillable systems and shortfills the straightforward route for most vapers. Refilling a tank is also cheaper per puff than buying a stream of single-use devices, and it generates far less waste.

Where Ohm Brew Badass Blend Watermelon Sugar makes sense is in the middle of the market. It is a sensible price for a mainstream brand, the flavour is easy to enjoy and the format works with the sub-ohm hardware that many UK vapers already own. It does not claim to do everything. It does one flavour in a clean, recognisable way.

To keep costs down, buy multi-packs when they are offered, use a coil that matches your power level so you do not waste liquid, and keep your tank topped up rather than letting it run dry. Remember that vaping is not without risk, and that the cheapest option is not always the one to choose if it compromises on safety, label information or legal compliance.
