Shop for the latest & greatest Shortfill E-Liquid Products from Legion Of Vapers.
Shortfills are the most cost-effective way to buy e-liquid in the UK. You get a larger bottle – 50ml or 100ml of flavour-focused, 0mg vape juice – with space left at the top for you to add your own nicotine shots and mix to your preferred strength. Every shortfill we stock comes with a free nic shot included, because we’ve seen too many new buyers get home, realise they forgot to order shots, and end up vaping 0mg by accident. That’s not a great start. We stock shortfills from Nasty Juice, Twelve Monkeys, Riot Squad, Zeus Juice, Just Juice, Doozy Vape Co and Dr Vapes, across every flavour profile and VG/PG ratio. New to bigger bottles or just want the right liquid for your kit? Browse our shortfill e-liquid range and sign up for 5% off your first order, with free delivery on orders over £40.Shortfills are popular because they give you real control over your vaping experience without the cost of constantly buying 10ml bottles.

A shortfill is a bottle of 0mg e-liquid sold in a larger format – typically 50ml in a 60ml bottle, or 100ml in a 120ml bottle. The extra space is left deliberately so you can add nicotine shots after purchase and mix to whatever strength you need.
The format exists because of UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016. Under TPD rules, nicotine-containing e-liquid is limited to 10ml bottles. Shortfills get around this by selling the base liquid at 0mg, leaving nicotine addition to you. All shortfills we stock comply fully with UK TPD requirements. As an IBVTA member, Legion of Vapers only carries products from brands meeting UK regulatory standards, so you’re not guessing about compliance.

Choosing the right bottle size usually comes down to one question: how well do you know the flavour?
50ml shortfill is the sensible choice for trying something new. You’re spending less, committing less, and if it turns out to be a miss you haven’t wasted a 100ml bottle.
100ml shortfill is the sweet spot for daily use. It’s the best value per ml in most ranges, and if you’re already confident you like the flavour it makes sense to buy big.
200ml shortfill makes sense for an all-day vape you’ve already confirmed you love. At 200ml you’re stocking up rather than sampling, so only go this size on a flavour you know works for you.
Common sizes and what you need to mix them:
A longfill is a concentrated flavour shot – usually 10ml or 20ml – designed to be mixed into a full base liquid (unflavoured VG/PG) that you buy separately. You’re building the e-liquid yourself rather than just adding a nic shot to a ready-made base.
The appeal is cost per ml. Longfills are cheaper because you’re buying flavour concentrate rather than a finished product. The trade-off is more steps and more to go wrong if you get the ratios off.
Shortfills suit most vapers because the base is already made. You just add nic shots and shake. Longfills are worth exploring if you’ve been vaping for a while, you know what you like, and you want to squeeze more value out of your liquid spend.
For a proper comparison, read our guide on shortfill vs longfill – what’s the difference, or browse our longfills range if you’re already across it.
Not sure whether a shortfill or a nic salt suits your setup better? It usually comes down to your device and how much nicotine you need.
| Shortfill | Nic Salt | |
|---|---|---|
| Device | Sub-Ohm | Pod Kit |
| Nicotine | 0-6mg | 5-20mg |
| Vapour | High | Moderate |
| Cost per ml | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | DTL | MTL |
Getting the VG/PG ratio wrong is the single most common reason vapers burn coils or get leaky pods from a shortfill. Match the ratio to your kit first, then choose your flavour.
70/30 high-VG shortfills are for sub-ohm tanks running coils below 1.0 ohm, typically at 40W or above. The thick liquid produces big clouds and a smooth throat hit, but it needs the heat of a sub-ohm coil to vaporise properly. Put a 70/30 shortfill in a tight pod kit and you’ll get dry hits and wrecked coils.
50/50 shortfills are for pod kits and MTL (mouth-to-lung) tanks with coils above 1.0 ohm. The thinner liquid wicks quickly in smaller coils, delivers sharper flavour and works well at lower wattages. It’s also a better ratio if you want a draw that mimics the tightness of a cigarette.
As a rule: if you don’t know your coil resistance, check the number printed on the coil head. Above 1.0 ohm – use 50/50. Below 1.0 ohm – use 70/30. It’s that simple.
For the full picture on device styles, our MTL vs DTL vaping guide covers everything clearly.
If you’ve switched from disposables, you’re almost certainly on a pod kit – something like a Vaporesso XROS, Uwell Caliburn or similar. These devices use coils above 0.8 ohm and restricted airflow, which means they need a 50/50 ratio shortfill at minimum.
Honestly, many pod kit vapers are better served by nic salts than shortfills. Nic salts come ready to vape at 10mg or 20mg (the UK legal maximum for nicotine-containing e-liquid), which suits the low power output of most pod kits perfectly. If cravings are the priority rather than cloud production, nic salts will do a better job.

Explore our answers to some frequently asked questions.
A shortfill is a large bottle of 0mg e-liquid – usually 50ml or 100ml – with space left at the top for nicotine shots. You add your shots, shake and vape. The format exists because UK regulations limit nicotine-containing e-liquid to 10ml bottles, so shortfills are sold 0mg and you add nicotine yourself.
Open the shortfill, squeeze in your nic shot, replace the cap and shake for 30-60 seconds. Leave it 5-10 minutes before vaping. For a full walkthrough, see our guide to using shortfills.
Two. A 100ml shortfill sits in a 120ml bottle. Adding two 10ml nic shots fills it to 120ml and gives you a finished strength of 3mg. Adding just one gives you 3mg across 110ml – slightly weaker and a small amount of wasted space.
One 10ml nic shot into a 50ml shortfill gives 3mg. Two shots into a 100ml shortfill also gives 3mg. Two shots into a 50ml shortfill (filling a 70ml total volume) gives approximately 5-6mg.
Yes, but you need to check the VG/PG ratio. Pod kits need 50/50 ratio liquid. A 70/30 high-VG shortfill will wick too slowly in a pod coil and give dry hits. If you’re on a pod kit, filter for 50/50 shortfills or consider nic salts instead.
70/30 is high-VG, suited to sub-ohm tanks and coils below 1.0 ohm running at 40W or above. It produces larger clouds and a smoother throat hit. 50/50 is thinner, suited to pod kits and MTL tanks with coils above 1.0 ohm. It wicks faster and delivers a sharper flavour.
A shortfill is a ready-made flavour base you add nic shots to. A longfill is a flavour concentrate you mix into a separate unflavoured base liquid yourself. Longfills are cheaper per ml but involve more steps. Read our shortfill vs longfill guide for the full comparison.
Freebase is the standard choice for sub-ohm at 3mg. If you’re pushing to 6mg and the throat hit feels too harsh, switch to nic salt shots for a smoother result. Both types are unflavoured and won’t change the taste of your shortfill.
It depends on the flavour. Fruit and menthol shortfills are ready after shaking – no wait needed. Dessert and custard recipes benefit from 3-7 days at room temperature. Tobacco profiles are worth leaving 5-7 days minimum. See our steeping guide for more detail.
Most shortfills have a shelf life of around two years unopened. Once mixed with a nic shot, use within six months and store in a cool, dark place. The nicotine can oxidise over time, which affects both strength and flavour.
Yes. A flat duty per 10ml of liquid comes into force in October 2026 and applies to all e-liquid formats, including 0mg shortfills. Current prices are pre-duty. Read the full breakdown in our UK vape tax 2026 guide.
Considerably. A 100ml shortfill typically works out at a fraction of the cost per ml compared to 10ml bottles. For anyone vaping regularly, switching to shortfills is one of the easiest ways to cut the weekly spend. Factor in the nicotine shots cost – which we include free with every order – and the value case is strong.
