Nicotine Shots

Nicotine shots are flavourless liquids and their purpose is to add or increase the nicotine in other e-liquids. They are most commonly used with 'shortfills' but they can be added to other e-liquids too.

Shortfill e-liquid (anything greater than 10ml) can't currently contain any nicotine by law, so, by adding the nic shot you increase the amount of e-liquid and you increase the nicotine content, but also dilute the flavour.

A shortfill bottle has enough space to add a nicotine shot, if you want. Simply remove the nib/cap from the top of the bottle and pour in the nic shot. Replace the nib securely and ensure the contents mix.

A 10ml bottle of 18mg e-liquid nicotine shot added to a 50ml shortfill bottle will give you 60ml of e-liquid in total with a nicotine content of 3mg, or 0.3%.

If you're new to adding your own nicotine and the choices are a little baffling, simply start with a nic shot blend similar to the VG blend of your flavoured e-liquid. Most 50ml shortfills are 70% VG so that is a good place to start. All our flavours will say what the VG ratio is, but if it helps, despite the ratios, the most popular nic shot blends are 70% VG and 100% VG.
