Nicotine shots are an essential utility for any sub-ohm vaper using shortfills. Under UK TPD law, nicotine-containing e-liquid cannot be sold in bottles larger than 10ml. Nic shots (typically unflavoured 10ml bottles containing 18mg or 20mg of nicotine) are the perfect solution. By adding these directly to your 0mg shortfill bottles, you can safely mix large volumes of nicotine-infused vape juice at a fraction of the cost.

A Nicotine Shot (or Nic Shot) is a 10ml bottle of highly concentrated, unflavoured e-liquid. Because UK law prohibits the sale of large e-liquid bottles containing nicotine, vapers buy 50ml or 100ml "shortfills" containing zero nicotine, and manually squeeze in these 10ml nic shots to reach their desired strength.
The standard, traditional nicotine shot. Freebase nicotine provides a noticeable, satisfying throat hit when added to a shortfill. This is the most common choice for sub-ohm vapers who enjoy feeling the vapour as they inhale.
Nicotine Salt shots are formulated using natural acids to neutralise the harshness of the nicotine. When added to a shortfill, they provide a remarkably smooth throat hit and absorb into the bloodstream much faster than freebase nicotine.
Ice nic shots are infused with a cooling agent (often Koolada or menthol). Not only do they add the required nicotine to your shortfill, but they also transform your standard fruit or dessert flavour into a refreshing, icy "on ice" profile.
Mixing your shortfill is simple. The industry standard is to mix 18mg Nic Shots into 0mg Shortfills to create a final e-liquid strength of exactly 3mg.
| Shortfill Size | 18mg Shots to Add | Final Volume | Final Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50ml | 1 x 10ml | 60ml | 3mg |
| 100ml | 2 x 10ml | 120ml | 3mg |
| 200ml | 4 x 10ml | 240ml | 3mg |
Nic shots, just like normal e-liquid, come in different VG/PG ratios. To maintain the thick cloud production of your 70/30 High VG shortfills, you should use 70VG/30PG or 100% VG nic shots. If you add 50/50 nic shots to a High VG shortfill, you will slightly thin the liquid out, which could cause minor leaking in some sub-ohm tanks.
No. Nicotine shots are unflavoured and heavily concentrated (usually 18mg). They are designed exclusively to be diluted into 0mg shortfill e-liquid.
You should secure the cap and shake the bottle vigorously for at least 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy nicotine syrup disperses evenly throughout the VG base.
Yes. In fact, 18mg is the industry standard for mixing shortfills. Adding an 18mg shot to a 50ml shortfill perfectly hits a 3mg target. Adding a 20mg shot will result in a slightly stronger 3.3mg mix.
