Understanding VG/PG Ratios in 50ml Shortfills
The VG/PG ratio in your 50ml shortfill determines vapour production, throat hit, flavour intensity and coil compatibility.
Understanding the difference helps you choose liquids that match your device and vaping style perfectly.
VG is a thick, smooth liquid responsible for producing vapour clouds. The higher the VG content, the thicker the liquid and the denser the vapour.
Most 50ml shortfills feature high VG ratios for enhanced cloud production.
VG characteristics:
- Produces large, dense clouds
- Smooth, gentle inhale
- Slightly sweet natural taste
Works best with sub-ohm coils
PG is a thinner liquid that carries flavour more effectively and delivers a stronger throat hit. It's used in varying concentrations in 50ml shortfills.
Higher PG content enhances flavour clarity and throat sensation.
PG characteristics:
- Stronger, more pronounced throat hit
- Enhanced flavour clarity and definition
- Thinner, free-flowing consistency
- Ideal for flavour delivery
Different ratios suit different devices and vaping preferences.
Here's a breakdown of the most common blends found in 50ml shortfills and what they're best for:
50VG/50PG:
- Balanced clouds and flavour
- Works with MTL devices and pods
- Strong throat hit
- Suitable for higher nicotine strengths
70VG/30PG:
- Most popular ratio for 50ml shortfills
- Produces dense, satisfying clouds
- Smooth inhale with moderate throat hit
- Best for sub-ohm tanks
80VG/20PG:
- Maximum cloud production
- Very smooth vapour delivery
- Requires powerful sub-ohm setups
- Best for dedicated cloud chasers
Your choice depends on your device, coil resistance and personal preference.
For MTL devices and starter kits:
- Choose 50/50 50ml shortfills
For sub-ohm tanks and moderate cloud production:
- Choose 70VG/30PG 50ml shortfills
For maximum clouds and high-wattage mods:
- Choose 80VG/20PG or higher ratios
Matching your 50ml shortfill to your device ensures better flavour, longer coil life and a more satisfying vaping experience overall.
How to Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for 50ml Shortfills
Nicotine strength plays a major role in your vaping experience with 50ml shortfills, affecting throat hit, satisfaction and how often you vape.
Choosing the right level depends on your smoking history, device type and personal preference.
Nicotine Strength Guide for 50ml Shortfills
Here's a simple breakdown of common nicotine levels and who they're best suited for when mixing 50ml shortfills:
0mg (Nicotine-Free):
- For vapers who enjoy flavour without nicotine
- Ideal for casual or social vaping
- Used by former smokers fully transitioned off nicotine
- Simply vape your 50ml shortfill without adding nic shots
3mg:
- Light nicotine hit perfect for sub-ohm vaping
- Best for light to moderate smokers
- Most popular strength for DTL devices
- Add 1 x 18mg nic shot to your 50ml shortfill
6mg:
- Moderate nicotine level for sub-ohm use
- Good for moderate smokers transitioning to vaping
- Provides noticeable satisfaction
- Add 2 x 18mg nic shots to your 50ml shortfill
1.5mg:
- Ultra-light option for reducing nicotine
- Perfect for vapers stepping down from 3mg
- Gentle delivery for frequent vaping
- Add half of an 18mg nic shot to your 50ml shortfill
Freebase Nicotine vs Nicotine Salts for 50ml Shortfills
Understanding the difference between these two types helps you pick the right nicotine shots for your 50ml shortfill.
Freebase Nicotine Shots:
- Traditional nicotine used in most nic shots
- Stronger, more pronounced throat hit
- Best for sub-ohm and DTL devices
- Widely available and affordable
Nicotine Salt Shots:
- Smoother throat hit even at same strength
- Absorbed faster for quicker satisfaction
- Gentler delivery ideal for sensitive vapers
- Works with both MTL and DTL setups
Adjusting Your Nicotine Strength Over Time
Many vapers start with 6mg in their 50ml shortfills and gradually reduce their intake to 3mg, then 1.5mg, and eventually 0mg.
If you find yourself vaping excessively or feeling lightheaded, consider dropping to a lower strength by adding fewer nic shots.
Conversely, if you're not feeling satisfied, you may need a slightly higher level or a device better suited to your vaping style.
50ml Shortfill Storage and Safety Tips
Proper storage keeps your 50ml shortfill e-liquids fresh, flavourful and safe to use.
Follow these simple guidelines to get the most out of every bottle.
Heat and sunlight degrade nicotine and flavour in your 50ml shortfills over time.
Keep your bottles in a cupboard or drawer away from direct light and heat sources.
Exposure to air causes oxidation, which weakens flavour and changes the colour of your 50ml shortfill.
Always close the cap securely after each use to maintain freshness.
50ml shortfills and nicotine shots should always be stored out of reach.
Use childproof caps and keep bottles in secure locations at all times.
Most 50ml shortfills have a shelf life of 1 to 2 years when stored properly.
Always check the expiry date before use, especially if you've had bottles stored for extended periods.
Freezing or overheating can separate the liquid or alter the consistency of your 50ml shortfill.
Room temperature is ideal for long-term storage and maintaining quality.
Ingredients can settle over time, especially in high-VG 50ml shortfills.
Give your bottle a good shake before filling your tank to ensure even flavour distribution and proper mixing.
How to Add Nicotine Shots to 50ml Shortfills
50ml shortfill bottles leave 10ml of space for nicotine shots, allowing you to customise your nicotine strength.
Here's a simple guide to mixing your own e-liquid safely and effectively.
What You'll Need
A 50ml shortfill bottle (50ml liquid in 60ml bottle)
Nicotine shots (usually 10ml at 18mg)
A clean surface
Optional: gloves for handling nicotine
Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions
Remove the cap and nozzle from your 50ml shortfill bottle.
Add your chosen number of nicotine shots depending on your desired strength:
- One 18mg shot for 3mg final strength (60ml total)
- Two 18mg shots for 6mg final strength (70ml total)
- Half an 18mg shot for 1.5mg final strength (55ml total)
Replace the nozzle and cap securely.
Shake the bottle vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure thorough mixing.
Let the liquid sit for a few minutes before use to allow any air bubbles to settle.
Nicotine Shot Mixing Chart for 50ml Shortfills
For quick reference, here's how many shots to add to your 50ml shortfill based on your target strength:
- 50ml shortfill + 0.5x 18mg shot = 1.5mg (55ml total)
- 50ml shortfill + 1x 18mg shot = 3mg (60ml total)
- 50ml shortfill + 2x 18mg shots = 6mg (70ml total)
Always double-check the bottle size and nicotine shot strength before mixing.
Safety Tips for Mixing 50ml Shortfills

Frequently Asked Questions About 50ml Shortfills
50ml shortfills come in 60ml bottles with space for one nic shot, whilst 100ml shortfills come in 120ml bottles with space for two shots. 50ml bottles are perfect for trying new flavours affordably, whilst 100ml offers better value per ml for flavours you already love.
It depends on your device. For sub-ohm tanks and cloud chasing, choose 70VG/30PG or 80VG/20PG 50ml shortfills. For MTL devices and pod systems, choose 50/50 50ml shortfills instead.
Remove the cap, add one 18mg nic shot for 3mg strength or two shots for 6mg strength, replace the cap and shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes. The final volume will be 60ml at 3mg or 70ml at 6mg. Always use nic shots from reputable brands.
Shelf life is typically 1 to 2 years when stored properly in a cool, dark place. Once mixed with nicotine shots, use within 6 to 12 months for best flavour. For usage, a 50ml shortfill lasts 1 to 2 weeks for moderate vapers using sub-ohm tanks.
Not all 50ml shortfills work with every device. High VG shortfills (70VG+) are best for sub-ohm tanks with low-resistance coils. 50/50 shortfills work across most devices including MTL tanks and pod systems. Always match your e-liquid to your device type.
Adding nicotine shots slightly dilutes the flavour concentration. This is normal and expected. 50ml shortfills are formulated with higher flavour concentration to account for this dilution. Shake thoroughly and let the liquid steep for 24 hours for flavours to blend properly.
All 50ml shortfills sold at Vaping 101 meet UK TPD regulations. They contain 0mg nicotine and are sold with appropriate labelling. When you add nicotine shots yourself, you're complying with the regulation that limits nicotine-containing e-liquids to 10ml bottles whilst still enjoying larger quantities.
