Shortfills
If you want large bottles and more control over your vape, vape shortfills (nicotine-free e-liquids) are the way to go. With 50ml and 100ml shortfills in stock, there is a range of flavours available for every vaper. Pair them with nicotine shots, or keep them zero-nic if that’s your thing. Explore our catalogue or browse by vaping brands (like Hayati, Kingston & many more) to find your favourites. Our collection of shortfills includes everything from fruity punches to classic tobacco blends. You’ll also find the best 50/50 vape juice 100ml bottles.
What Are Shortfills?
Shortfills are large bottles of vape liquids that are left partly empty so you can add your own nicotine shot if needed. It’s the best option for vapers who want big bottles and flexibility without breaking TPD rules in the UK. Here is a technical overview of shortfills:
- A shortfill vape juice is usually sold in a 60ml or 120ml bottle, but only filled with 50ml or 100ml (respectively) of nicotine-free e-liquid.
- This leaves space for adding nicotine shots, usually 10ml per 50ml of liquid.
- They’re completely legal under the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which limits the sale of nicotine-containing e-liquids to 10ml bottles.
- Shortfills come in high-VG ratios, with many now offering 50/50 shortfills for different setups.
- They’re ideal for vapers who want more liquid per bottle and don’t mind mixing in their own nicotine.


How to Use Shortfills?
Using a shortfill vape juice is easy. It doesn’t require any tools, and you don’t need to be an expert to get it right. Here’s how to do it step by step:
- Remove the cap and nozzle: Most shortfill bottles come with a childproof cap and a press-fit nozzle. Gently wiggle the nozzle out using your fingers or the edge of a flat tool.
- Add your nicotine shot: A 50ml shortfill e-liquid needs one 10ml nicotine shot (18mg) to make 3mg strength. A 100ml shortfill needs two nic shots of the same strength. If you prefer 6mg, you’ll need a higher-strength base.
- Refit the nozzle and cap: Once the nic shot is in, push the nozzle back in and close the cap tightly.
- Shake the bottle: Give it a solid shake for at least 30 seconds to mix the shortfill and nicotine shot properly.
- Let it steep (if needed): Some flavours (like desserts or custards) may need a few hours to settle and develop fully. Others are good to vape straight away.
- Fill your tank or pod: You’re now ready to vape. Just make sure your device is suited to the VG/PG ratio you’ve chosen.
