Longfill E-Liquids

A shortfill bottle contains slightly less e-liquid than its total capacity, creating room for nicotine shots to be added.

For example:

• A 50ml shortfill comes in a 60ml bottle, leaving 10ml of space
• A 100ml shortfill comes in a 120ml bottle, leaving 20ml of space
• A 200ml shortfill comes in a 250ml bottle, leaving 50ml of space

Simply add your chosen nic shots, shake thoroughly, and you're ready to vape.

Shortfills offer several important advantages over smaller 10ml e-liquids:

Better value for money:

• Larger bottles cost significantly less per ml than buying multiple 10ml bottles
• Perfect for frequent vapers who go through e-liquid quickly
• Reduces the need for constant reordering

Complete control over nicotine strength:

• Add as many or as few nic shots as you need
• Customise the strength to your exact preference
• Gradually reduce nicotine over time at your own pace

Designed for cloud production:

• Higher VG ratios create thick, satisfying vapour
• Ideal for sub-ohm tanks
• Enhanced flavour delivery at higher wattages

If you enjoy DTL vaping and want more value from your e-liquid purchases, shortfills are the perfect choice.

Most shortfills feature high VG ratios of 70/30 or 80/20, making them perfect for sub-ohm vaping.

Step 1: Choose your nicotine shots. Select 18mg nic shots for standard strength mixing, or explore nic salt shots for smoother throat hit.

Step 2: Remove the cap and nozzle. Take off the shortfill bottle's cap and remove the nozzle tip carefully.

Step 3: Pour in your nic shots. Squeeze the nic shot contents into the shortfill bottle.

Step 4: Replace the nozzle and cap. Secure everything back in place to prevent leaks.

Step 5: Shake thoroughly. Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 to 60 seconds to ensure even mixing.

Step 6: Let it settle. Allow the e-liquid to rest for a few minutes before vaping.

Nic salts and shortfills serve completely different purposes and device types.

Shortfills:

• Nicotine-free until you add nic shots
• High VG for thick vapour
• Designed for sub-ohm devices
• Larger bottle sizes (50ml, 100ml, 200ml)
• Lower nicotine strengths (typically 3mg to 6mg)

Nic salts:

• Pre-mixed with nicotine included
• 50/50 VG/PG ratio
• Designed for pod systems and MTL tanks
• 10ml bottles only
• Higher nicotine strengths (10mg to 20mg)

Choose shortfills if you enjoy cloud production and DTL vaping. Choose nic salts if you prefer tight draws and higher nicotine.

10ml freebase e-liquids contain nicotine and come ready to use, while shortfills require you to add your own.

Shortfills advantages:

• Better value per ml
• Customise nicotine strength precisely
• Larger quantities reduce reordering
• Usually higher VG ratios

10ml freebase advantages:

• No mixing required
• Portable and convenient
• Easier for beginners

Available in both 50/50 and high VG

First, confirm your device can handle high VG e-liquids:

For sub-ohm tanks:

• Choose standard 70/30 or 80/20 high VG shortfills

For pod systems or MTL tanks:

Choose 50/50 shortfills instead

Consider how quickly you go through e-liquid:

• Light vapers (under 5ml per day): Start with 50ml shortfills
• Moderate vapers (5ml to 10ml per day): 100ml shortfills offer best value

Heavy vapers (over 10ml per day): 200ml shortfills provide maximum savings

Think about what you enjoy most:

• Love fruit: Explore fruity flavours
• Prefer sweets: Try dessert e-liquids
• Want refreshment: Go for menthol options

Enjoy complexity: Sample drinks flavours

Stick with established brands for consistent quality:

• For desserts: Dinner Lady

Determine how many nic shots you'll need:

• If trying a new flavour: Begin with 50ml before committing to 100ml
