What Is a 50ml Shortfill E-Liquid?
Under UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TPD), e-liquids containing nicotine cannot legally be sold in bottles larger than 10ml. Shortfills are the ingenious, 100% legal solution: manufacturers bottle 50ml of nicotine-free e-liquid in an oversized 60ml bottle, leaving a 10ml "short" space at the top. This allows vapers to add an 18mg 10ml nicotine shot, producing 60ml of 3mg e-liquid at a fraction of the cost of buying six individual 10ml bottles.
- Maximum Value & Convenience: Enjoy larger bottles that last longer, reducing plastic waste and saving money per millilitre compared to standard 10ml bottles.
- High-VG Formulation for Cloud Production: Typically mixed at 70% VG / 30% PG (or 80/20), shortfills produce thick, velvety vapour clouds with a mild, smooth throat hit.
- Customisable Nicotine Strengths: Vape entirely nicotine-free (0mg), add a standard freebase nic shot for a traditional throat feel, or add a salt nic shot for an ultra-smooth draw.
- Premium Flavour Complexity: Larger bottles allow complex dessert, bakery, soda, and multi-layered fruit flavour profiles to steep and mature into deep, rich notes.
The 50ml Shortfill Nicotine Mixing Guide
Mixing your 50ml shortfill is quick and foolproof. Refer to our quick proportion table:
| Starting E-Liquid | Nic Shot Added | Resulting Total Volume | Final Nicotine Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50ml Shortfill (0mg) | None (Vaped as-is) | 50ml | 0mg (Nicotine Free) |
| 50ml Shortfill (0mg) | 1x 10ml 18mg Nic Shot | 60ml | 3mg / ml (0.3%) |

Step-by-Step: How to Mix Your 50ml Shortfill
- Remove the Cap & Nozzle: Unscrew the outer cap, then carefully pop off the plastic drip nozzle from the 60ml bottle using a bottle opener tool or clean pliers.
- Pour in the Nic Shot: Squeeze the full 10ml contents of your 18mg nicotine shot into the open bottle neck.
- Resnap the Nozzle Securely: Press the drip tip back on firmly until it clicks flush against the bottle collar to prevent leaks.
- Shake Vigorously for 60 Seconds: Shake the bottle thoroughly to evenly disperse the concentrated nicotine throughout the thick VG e-liquid base.
- Allow to Settle: Let the tiny air bubbles clear for 5 minutes before filling your tank and vaping.
Hardware Compatibility: Which Vape Kits Can Use 50ml Shortfills?
Because the vast majority of 50ml shortfills feature a thick 70% VG / 30% PG ratio, they require devices capable of vaporising thicker liquids without choking the wicking cotton. They are ideally suited for:
- Sub-Ohm Tanks & Box Mods: Geekvape Z Sub-Ohm, Vaporesso iTank, SMOK TFV18, and HorizonTech Falcon tanks running at 40W to 90W+.
- High-Power Pod Mods: Vaporesso Luxe XR Max, Voopoo Drag S2/X2 using 0.15Ω, 0.2Ω, or 0.3Ω mesh coils.
- Do NOT use 70/30 Shortfills in High-Resistance MTL Pods: Standard starter pods with 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω coils have narrow wicking holes; thick high-VG liquid cannot saturate fast enough, resulting in dry burnt coils.
Frequently Asked Questions About 50ml Shortfills
Can I vape a 50ml shortfill without adding a nicotine shot?
Yes, absolutely. 50ml shortfills are completely ready to vape straight out of the bottle as 0mg nicotine-free e-liquid. Many cloud chasers and flavour hobbyists vape them without nicotine.
Why are shortfills sold without nicotine in the UK?
Under UK TPD regulations, any e-liquid that contains nicotine is strictly capped at a 10ml bottle volume and 20mg/ml strength. By formulating shortfills as 0mg nicotine-free liquids, brands can legally sell larger 50ml and 100ml bottles.
Can I make my 50ml shortfill 6mg nicotine strength?
In a standard 60ml bottle, there is only space for one 10ml nic shot, which reaches 3mg. To achieve 6mg, you would need to pour out 10ml of the e-liquid and add two 18mg nic shots, although this will slightly dilute the flavour concentrate.
What is the difference between freebase and nic salt booster shots?
A standard freebase nicotine shot provides a gentle, satisfying throat hit typical of traditional sub-ohm vaping. A nic salt booster shot uses smooth nicotine salts, which provide zero throat irritation even when blowing large clouds.
How long does a 50ml shortfill stay fresh?
Properly sealed shortfills stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight have a shelf life of up to 2 years. Once mixed with a nicotine shot, we recommend using within 6 months for optimal flavour fidelity.
