50ml Shortfills

How do you use a 50ml shortfill?

The 50ml size meets a specific wish: vaping the same recipe for a long time without reordering every week. Here is how it works, and who it is really for.

The principle of the bottle ready for a nicotine shot

A 50ml shortfill is sold in 0mg nicotine, in a bottle that deliberately leaves room. You add one or more nicotine shots depending on the strength you want, close it, shake the bottle hard, then leave it to rest for a few minutes before filling your tank. This is different from a 10ml e-liquid, almost always sold already at strength and ready to vape with no handling.

How long does a 50ml bottle last?

A 50ml bottle generally lasts several weeks for a regular vaper, far longer than a 10ml e-liquid, which is finished in a few days. That is the whole point of the size: keeping the same flavour to hand without having to reorder it constantly.

50ml, 100ml or large size: which volume should I choose?

The 50ml remains the most sensible size for enjoying a flavour for a long time, with a quantity-to-price ratio that is already attractive: our bottles run from €13.90 to €26.90. A 100ml e-liquid takes the life further, for a recipe you already know well. Large size e-liquids are for vapers who never change flavour and buy in quantity.

Who is the 50ml size for?

The 50ml size suits the vaper who has found their flavour and vapes regularly, without wanting to handle a bottle every week as with a 10ml e-liquid. It stays flexible enough to try a new recipe without committing to a large size.

Frequently asked questions

Does a 50ml bottle contain nicotine?

A 50ml bottle is sold in 0mg in the vast majority of cases, with no nicotine at purchase. This is deliberate: the bottle leaves room for one or more nicotine shots, at the strength you choose.

How many nicotine shots do I need for a 50ml bottle?

The number of nicotine shots depends on the final nicotine strength you want and the room left in the bottle. The higher the strength, the more shots you need, within the available capacity. The simplest approach is to check the free space shown on each bottle before adding the nicotine.

Is a 50ml bottle really filled to 50ml when you buy it?

No, a 50ml shortfill contains slightly less liquid when you buy it: the remaining space is set aside for the nicotine shots. Once the shots are added and the bottle is shaken, it reaches its full capacity.

Is the 50ml size cheaper than a 10ml?

Yes, a 50ml bottle generally works out cheaper per millilitre than a 10ml bottle of the same recipe, as long as you vape the same flavour regularly. It is the compromise chosen by most vapers who have already found their e-liquid.
