If you’ve encountered the term ‘shortfills’ in vaping, but don’t quite know what it means, this article is for you. Learn everything you need to know about shortfills right here.
What exactly is a shortfill?
A shortfill is a bottle of nicotine-free liquid that has enough space at the top for you to add a nicotine shot. Most shortfill bottles include 50ml of liquid with 10ml of space remaining for your nic shots. As you can’t buy a large bottle of nicotine juice anymore, shortfills allow you to essentially get around this.
Shortfill bottles are also great if you’re a heavy vaper who needs to carry around a large amount of nicotine juice. You may also be interested in buying shortfills if you have a sub-ohm device that consumes a vast amount of juice.
Why are shortfills needed in the first place?
Shortfills became popular after TDP came into law. This legislation meant any liquid consisting of nicotine could only be sold in 10ml bottles. The nic shot that you buy will normally be 18mgs in nicotine strength. Once you have added the shot to your nic-free liquid, you will have a 3mg strength e-liquid. If you’re a vaper who gets through a lot of juice but don’t want to be emptying small bottles of juice into your tank too often, shortfills should be ideal for your requirements.
How can I get the nicotine strength I require with shortfills?
There are many handy nic shot calculators that will help you identify the nicotine strength that you require. You can also get in touch with Next Day Vapes if you need us to help with the calculations.
How do I mix my liquid?
Short fill bottles have a dripper on the top that you can pull out. Once you have done this, you can pour your nic shot into the bottle. You then need to shake the bottle after closing it. Make sure you do this thoroughly to get the right consistency. This will prevent harsh flavour and give you a smooth mixture. You will need to wait for the bubbles to settle before you can add the liquid to your tank. This is not a swift process and will take a few days. Keep the bottle in a dark place if possible. The e-liquid should steep during this time so the flavours can develop.
Many vape juice brands offer all their flavours as short fills. Most nic shots are flavourless so they don’t spoil your shortfill juice. However, you can buy menthol shots to give your juice a minty kick if you require one. There are different nic shot ratios to choose from too, including 70:30 and 80:20 ratios.
