Shortfill E-Liquids — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shortfill e-liquid?

A shortfill is a large bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid that isn't filled to the top. The gap is left deliberately so you can add a nicotine shot (nic shot) to create your preferred strength. UK law (the TPD) limits nicotine-containing e-liquid to 10ml bottles — shortfills get around this because they ship nicotine-free. Absolute Vape shortfills come in 100ml bottles from just £3.49.

How do I add a nic shot to a shortfill?

It takes about 30 seconds. Open the shortfill bottle, pour in your 10ml nic shot, replace the cap and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. A 100ml shortfill takes two nic shots to reach approximately 3mg strength. Your e-liquid is ready to use straight away — no steeping required, though some vapers find flavour improves after 24 hours.

What strength does a shortfill become after adding nic shots?

Shortfill size Nic shots added Result
100ml shortfill 1 x 18mg nic shot ~1.5mg
100ml shortfill 2 x 18mg nic shots ~3mg
50ml shortfill 1 x 18mg nic shot ~3mg

What devices work with shortfill e-liquids?

Shortfills are typically high VG (70/30 VG/PG) and work best in sub-ohm kits and DTL (direct-to-lung) devices with low-resistance coils (0.6Ω or below). They are not suitable for pod kits or MTL starter kits — for those devices, use 10ml nic salt e-liquids instead. If you're unsure which to choose, nic salts are better for beginners and pod kit users.

Are shortfills good value?

Yes — shortfills offer the best value per ml of any e-liquid format. A 100ml shortfill at Absolute Vape starts from £3.49, compared to £2–4 for a single 10ml bottle. That's up to 10x more liquid for 2–3x the price. For sub-ohm vapers who go through large amounts of e-liquid, shortfills are the most cost-effective option available.

What is the difference between shortfills and nic salts?

Shortfills are large (50–100ml), nicotine-free until you add a nic shot, high VG, and suited to sub-ohm/DTL devices at low nicotine strengths (1.5mg–3mg). Nic salts are 10ml, come pre-mixed with nicotine (10mg or 20mg), 50/50 VG/PG, and are designed for pod kits and MTL devices. Beginners and ex-smokers should start with nic salts — shortfills are better for experienced vapers who want big clouds and subtle nicotine.
