What is a shortfill?
Fancy a big bottle of liquid but the law says nicotine can only be sold in 10ml bottles? That's the whole reason shortfills exist.
A shortfill is a larger bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid, filled short of the top so there's room to add nicotine shots yourself. Our 60ml shortfills come with 50ml of liquid in them, our 120mls come with 100ml. You add shots, shake it, vape it.
How to mix one
- Take the cap off. If it's being stubborn, wedge a spoon or a coin under the lip and twist gently. Don't attack it with your teeth.
- Add your nic shots (see the table below, or use the calculator).
- Cap back on, shake it like you mean it for a minute.
- You can vape it straight away, but leaving it a day or two lets it settle and taste fuller.
How many shots?
| Bottle | Liquid inside | Target 3mg | Target 6mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60ml shortfill | 50ml | 1 × 18mg shot | 2 × 18mg shots |
| 120ml shortfill | 100ml | 2 × 18mg shots | 4–5 × 18mg shots |
Using 20mg nic salt shots instead? The nic shot calculator works it out exactly.
Freebase or nic salt shots?
Freebase 18mg shots give you more of a throat hit. Nic salt shots are smoother at the same strength. Same liquid either way, it's about what your throat prefers. We sell both, and flavoured nic salt shots too if you want to bend the flavour a bit. A lemon or cherry shot in a fruit mix is a proper little trick.
