What strength does one shot make in a 50ml shortfill?

Adding the full 10ml shot to a 50ml shortfill gives you 60ml of finished liquid. The 15mg shot brings that 60ml to 2.5mg, while the 18mg shot brings it to 3mg. The shortfill is bottled underfilled on purpose, so there is space for exactly one shot without overflowing.

Do I need to shake it after mixing?

Yes. Once the shot is in, cap the bottle and turn it over several times, or give it a firm shake, so the nicotine spreads evenly through the base. A minute or two of standing helps it settle. There is no long steep needed, since the shortfill is already flavoured and ready.

Which shortfills does the 100VG shot suit?

It is made for high-VG shortfills built for sub-ohm and direct-to-lung vaping, the thick, cloud-heavy bases. Keeping the shot at 100% VG means it adds nicotine without watering down that thickness. For a 50/50 pod shortfill, the balanced Nic Nic shot is the closer match.

Product Summary

Nic Nic's 100VG Nicotine Shot is a 10ml booster for raising the nicotine content of shortfill e-liquids, not for vaping on its own. The 100% VG formula keeps high-VG shortfills thick and cloud-friendly, making it the right shot for sub-ohm and DTL setups. It comes in 15mg and 18mg strengths: one 15mg shot in a 50ml shortfill gives 60ml at 2.5mg, while an 18mg shot gives 60ml at 3mg. Made in the UK and TPD compliant, each bottle has a childproof cap and tamper-evident seal. Also handy for DIY mixers combining flavour concentrates with VG/PG.

A nicotine shot is a small unflavoured booster you stir into a shortfill to raise its strength, never something you vape on its own. The Nic Nic 100VG shot is a 10ml bottle mixed at 0% PG and 100% VG, so it keeps a high-VG shortfill as thick as it started when you drop the shot in.

How to use it

Add the whole 10ml shot to a 50ml shortfill and you finish with 60ml of ready e-liquid, since the bottle is left underfilled to make room. Use the 15mg shot and that 60ml works out at 2.5mg. Use the 18mg shot instead and the same 60ml lands at 3mg. Screw the cap on, invert the bottle a few times and give it a minute to mix through.

Which shot to pick

Reach for the 100VG version when you are boosting a sub-ohm or direct-to-lung mix. Because it carries no PG, it will not thin a cloud-focused shortfill, so the finished juice stays as thick and vapour-heavy as the base you poured it into. If your shortfill is a balanced pod liquid rather than a high-VG one, the 50/50 Nic Nic shot holds that ratio better.
