What Are Shortfill E-Liquids, And Why Should You Care About Them?

Whether you’ve been vaping for a little while or have only recently become accustomed to its charms, you may have encountered a few mentions of shortfills without being aware of what they are. That would be a shame, because they may well greatly enhance your vaping experience.

So, what are Shortfill E-Liquids? Well, they’re bottles of e-liquid that are rather larger than you may have otherwise come across, and which contain no nicotine at all.

Equally significantly, they aren’t filled up completely to the brim, which is where the term ‘shortfills’ comes from. They’re also sometimes referred to as ‘shake and vape’ e-juices, which we’ll explain in a minute – and in any case, the term ‘shortfills’ is more common here in the UK.

Anyway, the idea is that space is left at the top of the bottle to add a nicotine shot, or ‘nic shot’, which usually takes the form of high nicotine strength, unflavoured e-liquid.

All that you need to do is buy both the shortfill and the nic shot, add the latter to the former, and then shake the bottle to ensure the two components are thoroughly mixed. Yep, that explains the whole ‘shake and vape’ moniker.

So, are shortfill e-liquids right for you?

If you’re wondering how the need for such a curious routine came about in the first place, we can point you in the direction of the EU’s Tobacco Products Directive, which came into effect in May 2017 and had the effect of imposing a size limit on nicotine-containing e-juice.

This situation has rather frustrated the demand for larger e-liquid bottles – a problem that shortfill e-liquids have helped to solve, thanks to their separation of the nicotine from the e-liquid.

Certainly, if you are a vaper who would prefer a larger bottle due to using a higher-powered device or simply being a good old-fashioned ‘cloud chaser’ who goes through a lot of e-liquid in a short space of time, shortfills like ours could be far preferable to finding yourself quickly running out of the e-liquids we offer in 10ml bottles.
