Shortfills

What Is Shortfill E Liquid and Why Is It So Popular?

Shortfill e liquid is a nicotine free e liquid that comes in a shortfill bottle. This larger bottle is only partially filled, leaving room for you to add your own nic shot. It’s an easy and cost-effective way to customise your nicotine strength while enjoying premium flavours in larger bottles. Unlike standard 10 ml e-liquids, shortfills usually come in 50 ml or 100 ml sizes with space left at the top - giving you the freedom to adjust your mix.

Shortfill vapes have become incredibly popular among UK vapers thanks to their value and flexibility. They’re perfect for anyone who goes through e-liquid quickly, offering smooth vapour and bold taste. Shortfills help vapers save money compared to buying multiple small bottles, as they offer better value per milliliter. By adding a nicotine shot, you can turn a 0 mg shortfill into your preferred strength in seconds.

How Does Shortfill E Liquid Work?

Mixing shortfill e liquid is simple and takes just a few steps. Each bottle is partially filled with nicotine-free vape juice, leaving enough space to add your desired nic shot. You can add nicotine shots to reach your desired strength, making it easy to customise your nicotine level. Adding nic shots is straightforward and allows you to tailor the right nicotine level for your preferences.

To determine how many nicotine shots you need for the right nicotine level, you can use calculators or guides available online. Nicotine shots contain pure nicotine, so avoid adding as much nicotine as possible.

1. Choose Your Flavour

Pick from our wide selection of shortfill vape options - from tropical fruits to rich desserts and menthol blends, including popular flavour profiles like a delicious blend of tart cherries and menthol or the icy freshness that delivers a cooling, revitalising vape experience.

2. Add a Nic Shot

Top up your e liquid shortfill with a single nicotine shot (10 ml) to achieve your preferred nicotine strengths, or add more if you want a higher level. Adding more shots or more e can increase both the total volume and nicotine strength, but be aware that using too many shots may dilute the flavour.

3. Shake to Mix

Give your shortfill a good shake to blend the nicotine evenly throughout the e-liquid.

4. Let It Steep

For the best taste, leave your shortfill e liquid to steep for a few hours and store the bottle in a dark place to enhance flavour development.

5. Fill and Vape

Once mixed, your shortfill is ready to use in any compatible shortfill vape setup and can now be vaped, delivering smooth flavour and dense vapour clouds.

Shortfill Vape vs Standard E Liquid

The main difference between a short fill e liquid and a standard e liquid bottle is the bottle size and flexibility. Regular e-liquids come in small 10 ml e liquid bottles with pre-mixed nicotine, while short fill bottles are larger (often 50ml or 60ml) and allow you to add your own nic shots. The bottle size of short fill bottles determines how much nicotine can be added without overflowing, directly affecting the final nicotine strength. This makes them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as you use fewer bottles over time.

Another advantage is control. With vape shortfills, vapers can adjust nicotine strength and even mix multiple flavours to create a personalised blend. Short fill e liquid differ from standard e-liquids by allowing you to create nicotine free juice or add nicotine as desired, offering more customisation. Many shortfill vapes also have higher VG content, making them ideal for cloud chasers using sub-ohm devices.
