Browse ShortfillsAdd Nic Shots (49p each)What Is a Shortfill E-Liquid?
A shortfill is a large-format e-liquid — typically 100ml — sold at 0mg nicotine. It comes in an oversized bottle with room left at the top specifically so you can add nicotine shots yourself. This workaround lets you buy 100ml of premium e-liquid at a fraction of the cost of equivalent 10ml bottles, while keeping nicotine separate to comply with UK TPD regulations.
What Is a Nicotine Shot?
A nicotine shot (nic shot) is a small 10ml bottle of concentrated nicotine e-liquid — typically 18mg freebase nicotine in a 70VG/30PG base. You pour it directly into your shortfill bottle, shake, and vape. No mixing equipment needed.
How Much Nicotine Do You Get?
| Shortfill Size | Nic Shots Added | Final Nicotine Strength | Final Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100ml shortfill | 1 × 18mg shot | ~1.5mg | 110ml |
| 100ml shortfill | 2 × 18mg shots | ~3mg | 120ml |
| 50ml shortfill | 1 × 18mg shot | ~3mg | 60ml |
Note: most 100ml shortfill bottles are filled to 90ml, leaving 20ml headspace for 2 nic shots.
Step-by-Step: How to Mix Your Shortfill
- Choose your shortfill — pick any flavour from our 100ml shortfill range
- Add nic shots — pour 1 or 2 18mg nic shots into the bottle
- Shake well — replace the cap and shake for 60 seconds
- Steep (optional) — leave 10–15 minutes for flavours to blend fully
- Fill your tank — pour into your sub-ohm tank or DTL pod and vape

Which Devices Work with Shortfills?
Shortfills are high-VG (70VG/30PG or higher) and require devices with low-resistance coils:
- Sub-ohm tanks — Smok TFV, Uwell Crown, Freemax Mesh Pro
- DTL pod kits — OXVA Xlim SE Pro, Voopoo Drag S, Vaporesso Gen S
- Box mods — any mod running at 40W+ with a sub-ohm coil
Not sure which device you have? If it produces big clouds and you inhale directly to your lungs (not mouth-first like a cigarette), it's likely DTL-compatible and will work perfectly with shortfills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special equipment to mix a shortfill?
No — you just pour the nic shot into the shortfill bottle, put the lid back on, and shake. No syringes, no scales, no specialist equipment needed.
Can I use any brand of nic shot with any shortfill?
Yes — nicotine shots are universal. Any 18mg freebase nic shot in a 70VG/30PG base works with any shortfill. We recommend using a VG-heavy nic shot (70VG/30PG) to match the shortfill base and maintain the correct consistency.
What happens if I add too many nic shots?
The bottle will overflow, or you'll exceed the 10ml headspace. Stick to 2 nic shots per 100ml bottle for the standard ~3mg result. If you want higher strength, use one nic shot per 50ml shortfill to achieve ~3mg in a smaller bottle.
Is this legal in the UK?
Yes — shortfills are sold at 0mg (legal in any size) and nic shots are sold in 10ml bottles at 18mg (within the 20mg TPD limit). Mixing them yourself is completely legal for personal use.
