Shortfill e liquids are larger bottles of nicotine-free e-liquid with space left for nicotine shots, giving you the flexibility to create the strength you prefer. Available in 50ml, 100ml, and 200ml sizes, they’re an easy way to keep your favourite flavours on hand.
Why Shortfill E Liquid Exists
After the 2017 TPD rules limited nicotine-containing bottles to 10ml, brands introduced shortfills: bigger 0mg bottles with extra space for nic shots. A typical 60ml shortfill holds 50ml of nicotine-free e-liquid plus 10ml of room for a shot, giving you more control over strength and superb value per ml.
Nicotine Shots & Mixing
Nicotine shots (freebase or nic salt) are flavourless and designed to be added to shortfills:
- 1 × 10ml 18mg shot into 50ml ≈ 60ml at ~3mg
- 2 × 10ml 18mg shots into 100ml ≈ 120ml at ~3mg
- Double the shots for ~6mg, if your device and preference suit it
Choose freebase for a punchier throat hit, or nic salts for a smoother inhale. This flexibility is a key reason Shortfill E Liquids are so popular with everyday and sub-ohm vapers alike.
VG/PG Ratios & Device Pairing
Most Shortfill E Liquids are blended at 70VG/30PG, ideal for sub-ohm kits with airy coils and generous wicking, so expect bigger clouds and a smooth vape. High-PG shortfills also exist and suit MTL devices that mimic a tighter, cigarette-like draw. Match the ratio to your kit for best performance and flavour.
Flavours You Love, Just More
Shortfill flavours come in the same broad spectrum as 10ml vape liquid: fruits, menthols, desserts, drinks, tobaccos and more. Rich, thicker dessert blends generally perform best in sub-ohm devices where higher temperatures bring the flavour to life, while thinner, higher-PG blends are usually better for MTL kits.
