Shortfill E-Liquid

Shortfill e liquids or Shake 'n' Vape are bottles of e-liquid that come in larger volumes, typically 50ml, 100ml or 200ml and come in 0mg nicotine strength, requiring you to add nicotine, through the form of nicotine boosters to reach your desired nicotine strength.

Shortfill e liquids come nicotine-free due to the Tobacco Products Directive, or TPD, which is an EU directive that does not permit the sale of e liquids containing nicotine exceeding 10ml in volume.

Shortfills are called as such because the bottles are filled to 80% capacity, allowing enough space to add appropriate nicotine boosters to reach your desired strength. As 3mg is the most common nicotine strength, most manufacturers leave enough space for this strength.

For example, if you purchase a 50ml e-liquid, typically the bottle volume would be 60ml and contains 50ml of e liquid, leaving enough space for a 10ml nicotine booster, which, at 18mg nicotine strength would bring the overall nicotine strength of your e liquid to 3mg.

These e liquids typically feature a 70% VG / 30% PG ratio, which makes them perfect for sub-ohm vaping. As we have one of the most extensive stocks of shortfill e liquids in the UK, you will find many flavours and VG ratios available.
