What are 50ml shortfills?

50ml shortfills are larger bottles, typically 60ml in total size, containing 50ml of nicotine-free e-liquid. This leaves 10ml of space in the bottle. You can learn more about what 50ml shortfills are in our detailed guide.

The reason they are sold nicotine-free in this larger format is due to UK TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) regulations. These rules state that e-liquid containing nicotine can only be sold in bottles up to 10ml in size, with a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml (2%).

Shortfills provide a compliant way for vapers to buy larger quantities of e-liquid. The empty space allows you to add one or more 10ml nicotine shots (sold separately) to create a larger volume of nicotine-containing e-liquid, usually at a lower overall nicotine strength (like 3mg).

 

How Do I Use a 50ml Shortfill With Nicotine?

Using a 50ml shortfill to create nicotine-containing e-liquid is straightforward. Here’s a simple guide:

  • Prepare: You will need your 50ml shortfill bottle and a 10ml nicotine shot (commonly 18mg strength, sold separately).
  • Open: Remove the cap and the nozzle (or 'nib') from the top of the shortfill bottle. This might require a little prying, or some bottles have specific easy-fill mechanisms.
  • Add Nicotine: Carefully pour the entire contents of your 10ml nicotine shot into the shortfill bottle.
  • Close: Securely replace the nozzle and screw the cap back onto the shortfill bottle.
  • Shake: Shake the bottle vigorously for a minute or two. This ensures the nicotine shot is thoroughly mixed with the nicotine-free e-liquid.
  • Steep (Optional): Some vapers prefer to let the mixed e-liquid 'steep' (rest in a cool, dark place) for a few hours or days, believing it improves the flavour. This is personal preference.
  • Vape: Your e-liquid is now ready to use!

Adding one 18mg, 10ml nicotine shot to a 50ml shortfill will result in 60ml of e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 3mg/ml (0.3%). This is the most common way these shortfills are used.

What Nicotine Strength Can I Achieve With These 50ML Shortfills?

The most common and intended nicotine strength achieved with a 50ml shortfill (in a 60ml bottle) is 3mg/ml (0.3%). This is done by adding one 10ml nicotine shot with an 18mg/ml strength.

Here's the simple calculation:

  • You start with 50ml of 0mg e-liquid.
  • You add 10ml of 18mg/ml nicotine.
  • This gives you a total volume of 60ml.
  • The total amount of nicotine added is 180mg (10ml * 18mg/ml).
  • This 180mg of nicotine is now distributed across 60ml of liquid (180mg / 60ml = 3mg/ml).

Due to the 10ml space available in the bottle and the UK TPD regulation limiting nicotine shots to a maximum of 20mg/ml strength, achieving significantly higher strengths (like 6mg or 12mg) directly in a standard 50ml shortfill bottle is generally not practical.

Achieving 6mg would typically require adding two nicotine shots, for which there usually isn't enough space. Vapers seeking higher nicotine strengths often use 10ml TPD-compliant bottles or nicotine salts.

Are These 50ml Shortfill E-liquids Compatible With My Vape Kit?

50ml shortfill e-liquids are typically formulated with a higher ratio of Vegetable Glycerin (VG) compared to Propylene Glycol (PG). Common ratios include 70% VG / 30% PG or even 80% VG / 20% PG.

High VG e-liquids are thicker and produce larger vapour clouds. They are best suited for:

  • Sub-Ohm Vape Kits: Devices using coils with a resistance below 1.0 ohm (О©).
  • Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Vaping: A style where you inhale vapour directly into your lungs, common with more powerful devices.
  • Advanced Kits: Box mods and tanks designed for cloud production.

These shortfills are generally not recommended for:

Using thick, high-VG shortfills in incompatible low-power devices can lead to poor wicking (the coil can't absorb the liquid fast enough), resulting in muted flavour and potentially burnt coils ('dry hits'). Always check the recommended e-liquid type for your specific device and coils.
