IVG 100ml Shortfill: 120ml Bottle, 0mg Base
The IVG 100ml shortfill format is straightforward once you see why the bottle is 120ml for 100ml of liquid. UK TPD rules cap pre-nicotined e-liquid at 10ml per bottle. So IVG ships the juice at 0mg in the larger bottle and leaves 20ml of headroom at the top.
That gap is for two 10ml nic shots. Add them at home, shake, and the full 120ml is ready to vape at the strength you mixed.
All twelve IVG 100ml shortfills share the same base: 70% VG, 30% PG, 0mg nicotine, in a 120ml chubby gorilla bottle. The 70/30 ratio is the UK standard for sub-ohm vape juice. Thick enough for cloud production and balanced enough to wick cleanly through 0.15-0.4 ohm mesh coils.
For a full walkthrough of the format, the shortfill guide covers sizes and mixing end to end.

IVG Shortfill Flavours
Twelve flavours, all on the same 70/30, 0mg base. Most are IVG recipes the brand developed for its nic salt range, re-blended for sub-ohm cloud production. Strawberry Watermelon tops the customer review ratings.
Riberry Lemonade and Rainbow Blast move fastest by reorder volume. Vanilla Biscuit is the only dessert in the line and consistently outsells every other dessert-profile shortfill we stock from any brand.
Fruit and candy
Ice, menthol and dessert
- Forest Berries Ice - blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and red berries with menthol.
- Frozen Cherries - ripe cherry with a menthol top.
- Spearmint - spearmint bubblegum, the menthol-leaning outlier in the range.
- Vanilla Biscuit - vanilla custard over biscuit, the only dessert in the line.
If you searched for IVG Fruit Twist, that flavour sits in the IVG Intense nic salt range rather than the shortfill line. The IVG brand range covers every IVG product Ecigone stocks in one place.
Mixing Nic Shots: Strengths and Volumes
UK nic shots come in 10ml bottles at 18mg or 20mg. The formula is the same either way: final strength = (shot strength × shot volume) ÷ total volume. Here is how that plays out for a standard IVG 100ml shortfill:
|

100ml. Some sub-ohm vapers go nicotine-free for cleaner flavour.

One 18mg shot

120ml. The most common mix, fills the bottle.

Approx 3.3mg

Two 20mg shots

120ml. Slightly stronger as the shots themselves are stronger.

6mg is not practical in a single IVG 100ml shortfill as there is not enough headroom for four shots. If you want 6mg, decant 80ml of the base into a separate bottle and add nic to a smaller volume. Or switch to 10ml nic salts which come pre-mixed at 10mg and 20mg..
70/30 VG/PG and Device Compatibility
70% VG, 30% PG means thick juice. VG produces the dense vapour and carries the sweetness; PG thins it out, sharpens the flavour and adds the throat feel.
Sub-ohm tanks and RDL pod kits
Sub-ohm tanks on a box mod, RDL pod kits built for high-VG juice, any setup with 0.15-0.4 ohm mesh coils at 25-80W. The Vaporesso Armour Ultra Kit pairs well as it includes a GTX sub-ohm tank dialled in for high-VG liquid. The full sub-ohm kit range covers other compatible devices, and standalone sub-ohm tanks are the route if you already own a box mod.
MTL pod kits
At 70/30 the liquid is too viscous for tight-bore MTL pod coils. It will struggle to wick, the flavour dulls and the coil dries out faster than it should. Skip IVG shortfills if your only device is a prefilled pod kit such as the IVG Pro 10K, IVG 2400 or any MTL pod system.
Those take 2ml nic salt pods and 70/30 shortfill liquid will not wick through them cleanly. For those devices the IVG Intense nic salt range is the right match. The 70/30 high-VG category covers other UK shortfill brands for cross-shopping.
UK Vape Duty and the Shortfill Format
From 1 October 2026 the UK applies a vape duty to all e-liquid by volume, 0mg shortfill bases included. The duty is not a nicotine-only charge; it applies to the liquid itself regardless of nicotine content. A 100ml IVG shortfill base carries duty on the full 100ml, and the two 10ml nic shots you add carry duty on their volume too.
