50ml Shortfill E-Liquids
50ml shortfill e-liquids are popular nicotine-free vape juices designed for vapers who want larger bottle sizes, more flavour variety, and the ability to customise their nicotine strength. They usually come in a 60ml bottle containing 50ml of e-liquid, leaving enough space to add a nicotine shot.
These larger bottles are especially popular among sub-ohm vapers who prefer smooth flavour, bigger vapour production, and lower nicotine strengths.

What Are 50ml Shortfill E-Liquids?
50ml shortfill e-liquids are 0mg nicotine vape juices that contain 50ml of flavoured e-liquid inside a 60ml bottle.
The extra space allows users to add a 10ml nicotine shot to create their preferred nicotine strength.
A typical 50ml shortfill includes:
- 50ml flavoured e-liquid
- 60ml bottle capacity
- Space for one 10ml nic shot
- Child-resistant cap
- Tamper-evident seal
They are also known as shake and vape e-liquids because they only require mixing before use.
Why Are 50ml Shortfill E-Liquids Popular?
50ml shortfills provide a cost-effective and customisable alternative to smaller nicotine e-liquid bottles.
They are popular because they offer:
- Larger quantities of vape juice
- More flavour choices
- Custom nicotine levels
- Better value for regular vapers
- Compatibility with high-powered devices
Unlike pre-mixed nicotine e-liquids, shortfills allow users to decide whether they want to add nicotine or vape them as a zero-nicotine liquid.
What Is The Difference Between E-Liquid And Shortfill?
The main difference is that shortfills contain no nicotine and require nicotine shots, while standard e-liquids are ready to vape with nicotine already included.
Standard E-Liquid
- Usually sold in 10ml bottles
- Available with pre-mixed nicotine strengths
- Ready to use immediately
- Commonly used with pod kits and starter devices
50ml Shortfill E-Liquid
- Usually sold in larger bottles
- Contains 0mg nicotine
- Requires optional nicotine shots
- Popular for sub-ohm vaping
How Do 50ml Shortfills Work?
50ml shortfills work by adding nicotine shots into the empty space inside the bottle.
For example:
50ml shortfill + 10ml 18mg nicotine shot = approximately 60ml of 3mg e-liquid.
After adding the nicotine shot:
- Remove the bottle cap.
- Pour the nicotine shot into the shortfill.
- Close the bottle securely.
- Shake thoroughly.
- Allow the liquid to settle before vaping.
Do You Have To Add Nicotine To Shortfill?
No, you do not have to add nicotine to shortfill e-liquids.
Shortfills can be used as:
- 0mg nicotine vape juice
- Low nicotine e-liquid after mixing with nic shots
Many vapers choose shortfills because they can control exactly how much nicotine they add.
How Many Nic Shots Do I Need For A 50ml Shortfill?
One 10ml 18mg nicotine shot is commonly used with a 50ml shortfill to create approximately 3mg e-liquid.
Common mixing examples:
| Shortfill Size | Nic Shot Added | Final Strength |
|---|---|---|
| 50ml | 1 × 18mg Nic Shot | Around 3mg |
| 100ml | 2 × 18mg Nic Shots | Around 3mg |
How Many Nic Shots For 50ml To Make 20mg?
A 50ml shortfill cannot realistically be mixed to 20mg nicotine strength using standard nicotine shots.
Shortfills are mainly designed for lower nicotine strengths, usually around:
- 3mg
- 6mg
For higher nicotine strengths, ready-made 10ml nicotine e-liquids are generally more suitable.
What VG/PG Ratio Do 50ml Shortfills Use?
Most 50ml shortfills use a 70VG/30PG ratio, making them ideal for sub-ohm vaping.
VG (Vegetable Glycerine) affects:
- Vapour production
- Smoothness
- Cloud density
PG (Propylene Glycol) affects:
- Flavour intensity
- Throat sensation
Common shortfill ratios include:
- 70VG/30PG
- 80VG/20PG
- 50VG/50PG
Is 70/30 Better Than 50/50 Vape Juice?
70VG/30PG is better for cloud production, while 50VG/50PG is better for balanced flavour and lower-powered devices.
70VG/30PG
Best for:
- Sub-ohm vape kits
- Direct-to-lung vaping
- Large vapour clouds
50VG/50PG
Best for:
- Pod systems
- Starter kits
- Mouth-to-lung vaping
What Vape Kits Are Best For 50ml Shortfills?
50ml shortfills are best suited for sub-ohm vape kits with low-resistance coils.
Recommended devices include:
- Sub-ohm tanks
- Advanced pod mods
- High-powered vape kits
These devices provide enough power to vaporise thicker high-VG liquids efficiently.
Using high-VG shortfills in basic starter kits may cause:
- Poor wicking
- Burnt coils
- Reduced flavour
Can You Use 50ml Shortfills In A Pod Kit?
Some advanced pod kits can use 50ml shortfills, but standard pod systems usually work better with 50/50 e-liquids.
For pod devices:
- Choose lower VG liquids
- Use suitable coils
- Check manufacturer recommendations
How Long Does 50ml Of E-Liquid Last?
50ml of e-liquid can last anywhere from several days to a few weeks depending on vaping habits and device power.
Usage depends on:
- Vape frequency
- Coil resistance
- Wattage settings
- Device type
High-powered sub-ohm devices consume more liquid compared with low-powered pod systems.
Can You Refrigerate Vape Juice?
Refrigerating vape juice is not usually necessary and may affect the consistency of the liquid.
The best storage method is:
- Keep bottles in a cool place
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Keep bottles tightly closed
- Store away from heat
Does Adding Nic Shots Reduce Flavour?
Adding nicotine shots can slightly dilute flavour intensity because the liquid volume increases.
However, quality shortfills are designed with concentrated flavour profiles to maintain a strong taste after mixing.
How To Store 50ml Shortfill E-Liquids?
To maintain quality:
- Store bottles upright
- Keep away from sunlight
- Avoid extreme temperatures
- Close caps properly
- Keep away from children and pets
