Shortfill E-Liquid

Shortfill e-liquids are larger bottles of nicotine-free vape juice, usually 50ml or 100ml, with space left to add your own nic shot. Most vapers add one 10ml shot to a 50ml bottle for a 3mg strength. They’re perfect if you use a sub-ohm kit or go through a lot of juice, saving money and cutting down on waste. At Ecigone, you’ll find top shortfill brands like IVG, Fantasi, and Five Pawn s, all in a wide mix of flavours.

Why Choose Ecigone?

What are Shortfill E-liquids?

Shortfills are larger bottles of nicotine-free vape juice that leave space for you to add your own nicotine shot. They’re usually 50ml in a 60ml bottle or 100ml in a 120ml bottle which gives you just enough room to mix the nicotine strength you want. They were created to follow TPD rules, which regulate how much nicotine-containing e-liquid can be sold in one bottle. Shortfills are a popular pick for sub-ohm vapers and anyone who wants a more cost-effective way to stock up on vape juice without having to buy lots of 10ml bottles.

Different Types of Shortfills

Shortfills are available in two VG/PG ratios; high VG shortfills that have a ratio of 70VG/30PG and above, are designed for vaping with sub-ohm kits and offer larger clouds of vapour, while 50/50/shortfills have a 50VG/50PG ratio that makes them ideal for low-powered vape kits like pod vapes and starter kits. Shortfills also come in a wide variety of popular vape flavours ranging from fruity fusions, dessert-inspired blends, and classic drink flavours to suit your taste.

How to Mix Shortfills

50ml shortfills come with enough space for you to add a 10ml nicotine shot of 18mg freebase or a 20mg nicotine salt shot to mix your own 60ml vape juice with a 3mg nicotine strength. Where as 100ml shortfills have enough space for two 10ml nicotine shots to be added to them to create a 120ml vape juice with a 3mg nicotine strength. Once you’ve added your nicotine shot to your shortfill, seal the bottle, and give it a vigorous shake for a few minutes to mix your liquid ready to refill your device.

The Best Vapes for Shortfill E-liquid

The best vape kits for vaping with shortfills depends on the type of shortfills you’re using. High VG shortfills with a ratio of 70VG/30PG or above are compatible with sub-ohm kits for DTL vaping with dense clouds of vapour and bold flavour. Shortfills with a 50VG/50PG ratio are better suited for lower powered vape kits like pod vapes and starter vape kits for MTL vaping.
