1. Broski Berry Nasty Berries Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
On the inhale, the first flavor that hits you is the taste of cherries. I’m not so familiar with the taste of cherries and it’s something that is definitely new to me. But the cherry flavor is not artificial and not overpowering or sweet. The next most obvious flavor is aniseed. The aniseed is similar to the taste you get from white sambuca alcohol which comes from star anise. This combination of cherry and aniseed actually complements each other very well and produces an eliquid that is definitely unique. After a few more puffs, i can appreciate that the cherries also contain some other berries inside - maybe it contains some slight raspberry flavor as well. But I definitely do not taste any strawberry or blueberry. In addition, I do not detect any cooling notes. The flavor is already a cooling flavor but i don’t detect any cooling effect on my throat. Very light and delicate on the inhale and exhale. Not a sweet ejuice at all. Light berries (primarily cherries) with the delicate note of herbs from the aniseed.
2. Stargazing Nasty Berries Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Wow - a beautiful and earthy blueberry hit on the first inhale! Definitely reminiscent of blueberry jam or blueberry compote that you find on toast or in a blueberry muffin. Stargazing is definitely a blueberry flavor that is really close to real blueberry jam. However, having a Malaysian tongue, i must admit that I would I would prefer it to be a little bit more sweet. I think a higher level of sweetness will truly bring out the flavour of the blueberry. This stargazing is a more “dry” blueberry flavour and does not cover your entire tongue unlike a blueberry flavour that contains more sweetness which will taste more “wet”. But, this means that you won’t get any sickly sweet leftover taste on your tongue which is a huge benefit! On the plus side, I’ve refilled my tank 3 times and i don’t notice any gunk on my coils that may sometimes come with Malaysian eliquids. On the cooling note, i would say that there is zero cooling effect on my throat.
3.Sicko Blue Nasty Berries Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
This one tastes of mixed berries combined with candy. You can taste the berry notes on the inhale, but it’s not one specific strawberry or raspberry flavor. In fact, this flavor is known as blue raspberry. Blue raspberry is a flavor is commonly used in candies and drinks and is most of the time coloured with a bright blue. You can easily tell by looking at the colour of the candy, sweet or drink - if it’s a bright blue colour, it is most likely flavored with blue raspberry (despite whatever name they use to sell that item). As with Broski Berry and Stargazing, i don’t feel that this eliquid is sweet at all. I think Nasty Juice did a good job in controlling the level of sweetness with this line. Its seems they did it on purpose. In terms of cooling effect, because the flavor is quite light, they did not add any additional menthol or cooling note to boost the flavor. For me personally, i would add some cooling booster to it to make it more suitable for my personal tastes.
4.Hippie Trail Nasty Ballin Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
5.Passion Killa Nasty Ballin Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Right off the bat the first flavor to hit your mouth is sweet passionfruit. But this is more of a fizzy, soda type passionfruit taste and not the tangy actual fruit. I would say that the sweetness level is definitely higher than the Nasty Berries Series. Also, there is a very low cooling note to give this flavor an extra kick. But by no means is the cooling note overpowering at all.
6. Migos Moon Nasty Ballin Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
I love the intense and juicy tart flavor that the sourish orange and lemon blend this gives me. You get some fragrant orange syrup perfume note on the inhale and the exhale is mostly sour lemon. The sweetness level is definitely high. The cooling note on this flavor is a must to give it an extra kick - but again, I don’t find it overpowering at all.
7. Bloody Berry Nasty Ballin Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
My favorite from the Nasty Ballin line-up. The first hit of soda and fizzy-ness is out of this world! It’s amazing how Nasty Juice were able to get that fresh soda taste into this juice. You get a very clean lemonade type flavor at the first hit but you also know that there is something different about this. Nasty says that its a raspberry flavor added into this mix, but i don’t exactly taste raspberry, but instead it’s kind of a overall mixed berries vibe that isn’t strong. The strong taste for me, is actually the lemon note. If i compare Bloody Berry with Migos Moon, they both have a similar base of sourish lemon, but bloody berry isn’t as sour for sure. Once again, the sweetness level is nicely controlled without being crazy high and the cooling note is also very mild.
8. Silver Blend Nasty Tobacco Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Hmmm im confused with this one. I can taste a type of tobacco but the tobacco has a taste of something extra with it. The description says that is it vanilla custard but this is not what i taste. I taste more of a sweet cream flavor. But the tobacco is not a type of tobacco which i like. It reminds me too much of smoking actual cigarettes!
9. Gold Blend Nasty Tobacco Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
This is a very unique tobacco flavor for sure. More towards a heavy cigar. Though i’m not super experienced with the taste of all types of cigars, i actually don’t mind this tobacco blend. It’s a very nutty type of tobacco with a pleasant smoky flavor that agrees with me, unlike the Silver Blend. Mild and sweet and a little bit creamy.
10. Bad Blood Nasty 60ml Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Definitely feel the taste of blackcurrant gummy candy. The sweetness level is not high as Nasty Ballin and not as low as Nasty Berries. Its right in the middle. Cooling level is very low and you can feel that there is some cooling notes present in your throat.
11. Wicked Haze Nasty 60ml Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Wow - love this lemonade. Great balanced mix of sweet and sour. Nice cooling note on the throat. The lemonade flavor is fizzy and bubbles across the tongue. The blackcurrant for me it’s not so obvious, almost non-existent. I don’t taste any blackcurrants.
12. ASAP Grape Nasty 60ml Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Black grape mix. Reminds me of grape cordial or black grape packet drinks. Intense grape taste that isn’t sweet and overpowering. This grape mix has a very low cooling note and it’s fizzy and bubbly in your mouth.
13. Slow Blow Nasty 60ml Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
Truly amazing! At first, i thought it had a similar lemonade taste to wicked haze..but after a few more puffs, i taste more of a lime fizzy drink and clearly it’s not lemon - its lime! The pineapple notes here are very gentle. If they did not tell me it was pineapple, it will be difficult for me to identify it. But after more puffs, i realize that the pineapple is the key ingredient that makes this different and lifts up the lime flavor and keeps this flavor tasting fresh and unique. For me, a light and fresh flavor is the easiest flavor to vape for a long vape session without getting bored.
14. Devil Teeth Nasty 60ml Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
A honeydew flavor. Smooth honeydew, not sweet (thankfully). Very gentle cooling note is present. Taste a little bit between honeydew fruit and gummy fruity candy. I vaped this for an hour and didn’t feel that sickly sweet aftertaste in my mouth which is excellent. I really love how Nasty Juice controls their sweetness level in their series.
Nasty Cushman Series
First of all, the Cushman Series has the same level of sweetness as the Nasty Ballin Series. I think they’re made for summer weather where people don’t mind something sweet and for people who love mango. In comparison, the Nasty Berry Series and Nasty 60ml Series is definitely less sweet. In terms of cooling notes, the Nasty Cushman series have a very low and slight cooling note on the exhale.
15.Mango Banana Nasty Cushman Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
On the first puff, i get the aroma of banana circulating through my mouth and nose. Then, i get hit with the taste of really ripe and luscious mango flavor. The banana is ever so slightly creamy and quite fragrant and complements the mango very well. The banana here is more for the aroma and it does not make this eliquid creamy. Unlike a banana smoothie type flavor where you get lots of creaminess from the banana, in this instance, it’s much more aromatic.
16. Mango Strawberry Nasty Cushman Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
I find that the strawberry notes are just not there. I feel like im vaping a ripe and sweetish mango flavor with very little strawberry. The mix of strawberry in this formula kind of nullifies the mango and also the strawberry. It just becomes another unidentifiable fruity mix.
17. Mango Grape Nasty Cushman Series (30PG/70VG, 3mg)
I have vaped almost half a bottle of this Mango Grape. I really did not feel that i would like this. I simply cannot imagine what grapes and mango would taste like as this not a ‘natural’ fruit combination for me. But i am surprised because i can somehow taste both flavors quite clearly. First hit gives you a candy like grape flavor and then the exhale you get the ripe and aromatic mango. I think this juice is maybe 70% grape with 30% mango.
Nasty Salt Reborn
Now we take a look at the new Nasty Salt Reborn available in 10ml sizes with 50PG/50VG blend at 35mg. This 10ml variant is widely available in the Malaysian vaping market and is much preferred over the 30ml variant. The 10ml serving size is extremely popular in Malaysia due to the lower price and the ‘quick to finish’ serving size which lets vapers try a variety of salt nicotine flavors without committing to the larger 30ml size that is more commonly found in other vaping countries.
Im testing these on the Smoking Vapor Mi-Pod device which uses cartridges of 1.3ohm firing at 3-4.2volts. But remember, depending on the pod device you use, the nicotine salt can taste remarkably different in terms of intensity.
18. Slow Blow Nicotine Salt (50PG/50VG, 35mg)
Im extremely familiar with the pineapple and lime soda taste of the freebase version of Slow Blow and I’m really looking forward to this salt nic version! Lets see what it tastes like. YES! It’s a like for like comparison! YES! Love this! Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! The taste of Slow Blow does not get old. No wonder it has won some awards from Vapouround Magazine in the past. Also, i feel that this has zero cooling notes compared to the freebase version.
19. ASAP Grape Nicotine Salt (50PG/50VG, 35mg)
Sweet black grapes with zero cooling notes. I think all their salt nic’s are purposely zero cooling unlike their freebase line which has a very low and slight cooling note. I’m getting some nice vapor production on this Mipod device and the taste of sweet black grapes is easily identifiable on this device.
20. Bad Blood Nicotine Salt (50PG/50VG, 35mg)
Once again, i praise Nasty Juice for being able to replicate the freebase version of this juice. The blackcurrant gummy candy taste is great and smooth as expected. Just like the freebase version, im 100% satisfied with this. I just adore the gummy feel you get with this juice and it adds some dimension to an otherwise plain blackcurrant flavor. Am happy that the salt nic version manages to replicate that as well!
21. Trap Queen Nicotine Salt (50PG/50VG, 35mg)
On first puff i definitely smell the aroma of strawberries enveloping my nostrils. Im enjoying the taste of this is as its mildly sweet with good intense strawberry flavor. Really fruity and fleshy sweet strawberries.
22. Cushman Mango Nicotine Salt (50PG/50VG, 35mg)
This tastes very similar to the mango found in their Cushman series. It’s a familiar ripe sweet mango flavor that’s clear and concise. As much as i like mango, i do find this mango to be ‘run-off-the-mill’ and a little boring for my tastes. I much prefer the taste of sour mangoes or a mixed fruit mango flavor.
