Shortfills
Please remember to add nicotine shots to your order if required as this liquid contain no nicotine.
Shortfills are e-liquid bottles filled below their full capacity, leaving space for users to add nicotine boosters (usually nicotine shots) to customize the nicotine strength. They’re popular in regions like the UK and EU, where regulations (e.g., TPD) limit nicotine-containing e-liquids to 10ml bottles with a maximum of 20mg/ml nicotine strength.
Key points:
- Purpose: Shortfills allow vapers to buy larger volumes (e.g., 50ml or 100ml) of nicotine-free e-liquid and add nicotine shots to achieve their desired strength, bypassing TPD restrictions.
- Composition: Typically contain a high VG (vegetable glycerin) to PG (propylene glycol) ratio (e.g., 70/30), ideal for sub-ohm vaping and producing large vapor clouds.
- Usage: A common example is a 50ml shortfill in a 60ml bottle, where you add a 10ml nicotine shot (e.g., 18mg/ml) to get a 60ml liquid at ~3mg/ml nicotine.
- Advantages: Cost-effective, customizable nicotine levels, and available in a wide range of flavors.
- Drawbacks: Mixing requires some calculation to get the desired nicotine strength, and shaking is needed for even distribution.
Shortfills are typically used with freebase nicotine shots, though some users mix with nic salts for a smoother hit.
