Nic shots are small 10ml bottles of flavourless nicotine that you add to shortfill e-liquids to give them a nicotine kick. If you're using 0mg vape juice, you’ll need a nic shot to boost the strength – most vapers go for 1 shot in a 50ml shortfill to make it 3mg. At Ecigone, we stock one of the cheapest ranges of nic shots in the UK, with loads of options to suit how you vape. You’ll find everything from classic 18mg freebase shots to 20mg nic salt shots if you prefer a smoother throat hit. We also cover different VG/PG ratios, so it’s easy to match your shot to your juice without messing up the mix. Whether you’re after a stronger hit or just topping up, we’ve got the nic shot for it.
A nicotine shot (or nic shot) is a small, flavourless bottle of nicotine designed to be added to larger bottles of e-liquid, such as shortfills or longfills.
How strong are nicotine shots?
Most nic shots come in a strength of 18mg/ml, but when mixed into your e-liquid, the final strength depends on the amount added and the total volume.
Are nicotine shots ready to vape?
No. They’re not meant to be vaped on their own. You should always mix them into a suitable e-liquid base first.
What size are nicotine shots?
Standard bottles are usually 10ml, making them ideal for mixing into 50ml or 100ml shortfills and longfills.
How many nicotine shots do I need?
It depends on the bottle size and your desired strength. For example, one 18mg shot added to 50ml of e-liquid gives you around 3mg/ml.
Can I add more than one shot to get a stronger hit?
Yes, just make sure the bottle has enough space. But be aware that high nicotine strengths might affect flavour and throat hit.
What’s the difference between freebase and nicotine salt shots?
Freebase nicotine offers a stronger throat hit, while nicotine salts provide a smoother vape and absorb faster into the bloodstream.
Do I have to use nicotine shots with shortfills or longfills?
Not at all. If you prefer nicotine-free vaping, you can skip the shot entirely.
