ShortFills have established themselves as the ultimate format for advanced users seeking maximum aromatic quality and economic efficiency. Created to comply with restrictive industry standards, they consist of large-capacity bottles (60ml or 120ml) containing 50ml or 100ml of nicotine-free base e-liquid. That free volumetric space is designed with millimeter precision to add the necessary Nicokits (Nicotine Shots), customizing your strength cleanly and accurately.
| ShortFill Format | Nicokit(s) to Add | Final Result (Volume & Strength) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 ml (in 60ml bottle) | 1 x 20 mg/ml Nicokit | 60 ml at 3 mg/ml |
| 50 ml (in 60ml bottle) | 1 x 10 mg/ml Nicokit | 60 ml at 1.5 mg/ml |
| 100 ml (in 120ml bottle) | 2 x 20 mg/ml Nicokits | 120 ml at 3 mg/ml |
Over-Flavoring and Shake & Vape Dynamics
The technical advantage of the "Shake & Vape" format lies in its prior laboratory steeping. However, to compensate for the dilution caused by adding 10ml or 20ml of external base (the Nicokit), manufacturers apply an over-flavoring process. This ensures that, upon completing the mix, the aromatic balance is perfect and suffers no loss of intensity.
The process is extremely simple: pour the nicokit into the free space of the ShortFill, seal the bottle, and shake vigorously for 60 seconds. Homogenization is almost instantaneous, allowing you to enjoy the liquid without waiting times or additional steeping.
Preparation:
Add 1 or 2 nic shots depending on the final strength you want, close the bottle tightly and shake before use so the liquid mixes properly.
Vapvip Tip: The 0mg Vaping Rule
Due to the aforementioned over-flavoring process, if your intention is to vape without nicotine, it is imperative that you add a 0 mg/ml nicokit (neutral base) to the ShortFill. If you vape the 50ml directly without adding this base, you will experience an oversaturated flavor that could drastically shorten your coil's lifespan due to an excess of aromatic particles.
