What Are Shortfill E-Liquids?
Shortfill e-liquids are nicotine-free e-liquids available in larger bottles, typically filled to 80% capacity to leave room for 10ml nicotine shots. These e-liquids are generally high in VG (vegetable glycerin), making them ideal for sub-ohm vapers who want to produce big clouds and enjoy a smooth throat hit.
Common Sizes for Shortfill E-Liquids
- 50ml Shortfills: Add one 10ml nicotine shot to create 60ml of e-liquid with 3mg of nicotine.
- 100ml Shortfills: Add two 10ml nicotine shots to create 120ml of e-liquid with 3mg of nicotine.
Our shortfill e-liquids are available in a range of VG/PG ratios, such as 70VG/30PG, making them perfect for Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping. This blend enhances flavour and cloud production for a more enjoyable experience.
How to Mix Nicotine with Shortfills
- Remove the cap of the shortfill bottle and pop off the nib.
- Add your nicotine shot (one for a 50ml bottle, two for a 100ml bottle).
- Shake thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to ensure even mixing.
- Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the nicotine and flavours to fully bind.
For optimal flavour, let the mixture settle for at least an hour. Some users prefer letting it steep for longer to enhance the richness of the flavours.
Why Choose Shortfills?
- Cost-Effective: Shortfills are a more affordable option compared to buying multiple smaller nicotine-containing e-liquids. You can save significantly by purchasing larger bottles and adding your own nicotine shots.
- Customizable: With shortfills, you have complete control over your nicotine levels. If you're trying to reduce your nicotine intake, shortfills offer flexibility by allowing you to mix at your desired strength.
- Environmentally Friendly: Since shortfills reduce the need for multiple small bottles, they are a more eco-conscious choice, helping to reduce plastic waste.
- Flavour Variety: Shortfills come in a wide variety of flavours, from fruity blends to menthol, desserts, and beverages. This variety ensures you can explore new tastes and find the perfect match for your preferences.
What Vape Kits Are Best for Shortfills?
Shortfill e-liquids are typically high in VG, making them ideal for sub-ohm kits designed for DTL vaping. These kits can handle the thicker consistency of VG, which produces larger clouds and smoother hits. Look for vape kits with low-resistance coils (<1.0 ohm) for the best experience with high VG shortfills.
| Type of Device | Recommended Shortfill | Nicotine Shot Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-Ohm Kits | High-VG Shortfills (70/30) | Freebase Nicotine (for a stronger throat hit) |
| Pod Kits (Low-Power) | 50/50 VG/PG Shortfills | Nicotine Salt (for smoother hits) |
If you prefer Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vaping, consider using a 50/50 VG/PG shortfill, which pairs well with pod kits or lower-powered vape kits.
How Do Shortfill E-Liquids Compare to Nicotine Salts?
| Feature | Shortfills | Nicotine Salts |
|---|---|---|
| Nicotine Strength | Customizable via nic shots (up to 6mg) | Pre-filled, up to 20mg |
| Best Device | Sub-ohm kits for DTL vaping | Low-wattage pod systems |
| Cloud Production | High-VG for large clouds | Moderate vapor production |
| Throat Hit | Smooth with freebase nicotine shots | Softer, smoother hits |
| Flavor Variety | Wide range of flavours available | Available in select flavours |
Shortfills offer more flexibility for advanced vapers looking for large clouds and richer flavour, whereas nicotine salts are better for beginners seeking a higher nicotine content with a smoother throat hit in compact, low-wattage devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a shortfill e-liquid?
A shortfill e-liquid is a nicotine-free vape juice that comes in larger bottles (50ml or 100ml) with extra space for adding nicotine shots. The term “shortfill” refers to the underfilling of the bottle to leave room for the nic shots.
How much nicotine should I add to my shortfill?
Typically, adding one 10ml 18mg nicotine shot to a 50ml shortfill will result in a 60ml bottle of 3mg nicotine. For 100ml shortfills, adding two 10ml nicotine shots will create 120ml of 3mg e-liquid.
Can I vape shortfills without nicotine?
Yes! Shortfills are perfect for nicotine-free vaping. Simply enjoy the rich flavour without adding any nicotine shots.
Are shortfills legal in the EU?
Yes, shortfills are fully compliant with EU regulations. They come without nicotine, allowing you to add your own nicotine shots, ensuring they meet TPD regulations.
What type of vape kit should I use with shortfills?
Shortfills work best with sub-ohm vape kits or high-wattage devices that can handle high-VG e-liquids. Look for devices with low-resistance coils to maximize flavour and cloud production.
Are shortfills suitable for beginner vapers?
Shortfills are generally recommended for advanced or intermediate vapers using sub-ohm kits. However, beginners using pod kits may try 50/50 shortfills with nicotine salts for a smoother, more balanced experience.
Do I need to steep my shortfill after adding nicotine?
While not required, steeping (letting the liquid rest for a few hours or even days) can enhance the flavor by allowing the nicotine and flavors to meld properly.
Can I use a nicotine salt shot in my shortfill?
Yes! You can use nicotine salt shots if you prefer a smoother hit with higher nicotine strength. Just ensure the ratio matches your shortfill (e.g., use a 50/50 nic salt shot with a 50/50 shortfill).
