Shortfill E-Liquid

Shortfill e-liquids are nicotine-free shortfill bottles (typically 50 ml or 100 ml) that are only filled to about 80 % of capacity, leaving room for you to pour in a 10 ml nicotine shot (or two) and customise the strength before you vape. Most shortfill vape liquids are blended at 70 VG/30 PG or higher. High-VG juice is thicker, produces dense clouds and pairs perfectly with sub-ohm tanks or advanced pod mods.

What Are Shortfill E-Liquids?

Shortfill e-liquids are large bottles of nicotine-free vape juice that are intentionally underfilled to leave room for nicotine shots. For instance, a 60ml bottle typically contains 50ml of e-liquid, with 10ml of space for a nicotine shot, while a 120ml bottle might hold 100ml, leaving space for two shots. This design allows you to customize your nicotine strength, from 0mg for nicotine-free vaping to around 3-6mg for a balanced hit.

The rise of shortfills began in 2017 due to the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which limits nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles to 10ml in the UK and EU. By offering nicotine-free e-liquids in larger sizes, manufacturers provide a cost-effective solution without breaking regulations. Shortfills are often called “shake and vape” because you shake the bottle after adding nicotine to mix it thoroughly.

Benefits of Shortfill E-Liquids

Shortfill e-liquids offer a range of advantages that make them a top choice for vapers:

Cost Savings

A 50ml shortfill can replace five 10ml bottles, often at a lower cost. Larger 100ml or 200ml bottles save even more, with prices as low as £9.99 for 100ml compared to £4.99 per 10ml.

Customizable Nicotine Strength

Add one or more nicotine shots to achieve your preferred strength, such as 3mg or 6mg, giving you full control.

Vast Flavor Selection

With over 1500 flavors available, from fruity blends to creamy desserts, there’s a shortfill for every palate.

Ideal for Sub-Ohm Vaping

High VG shortfills (70% VG or more) are perfect for sub-ohm kits, producing thick clouds and rich flavors.

Eco-Friendly

Larger bottles reduce plastic waste compared to multiple 10ml bottles.

Versatility

Available in various VG/PG ratios, including 50/50 blends for pod vapers, shortfills cater to all vaping styles.

How to Use Shortfill E-Liquids

Using shortfill e-liquids is easy and allows you to tailor your vaping experience:

Select Your Shortfill: Choose a flavor and VG/PG ratio that suits your device (e.g., high VG for sub-ohm, 50/50 for pod kits).
Add Nicotine Shots: For a 50ml shortfill, add one 18mg nicotine shot to get 60ml of 3mg e-liquid. For a 100ml shortfill, add two 18mg shots for 120ml of 3mg e-liquid.
Shake Thoroughly: Secure the cap and shake the bottle for at least 30 seconds to mix the nicotine evenly.
Steep for Best Flavor: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or up to an hour for complex flavors, to enhance taste.
Fill and Vape: Pour the mixed e-liquid into your tank and enjoy!

Pro Tip: Match the VG/PG ratio of your nicotine shots to your shortfill (e.g., 70/30 nic shots for 70/30 shortfills) to maintain consistency.
