What is a shortfill?

[Ragnar94]

Is this a concentrate? Liquids seem to be ALOT cheaper than when i used to vape in 2016 - 2017, only £14.99 for 100 ml , do i just add pg to this? Or vg? I wont be using any nicotine....

N,
In general, "short fills" are 20% over flavoured, 0 nicotine versions in bottles larger than 10ml.

The buyer adds 10ml or 20ml of nico-shots at 18mg/ml to make the juice 3 or 6 mg/ml and complete the recipe.

If you will not be adding nicotine, IMO, you should add the 20% of PG/VG mix to achieve the correct PG/VG ratios and the correct flavour.

A standard short-fill might be 50 ml of eliquid with no nicotine in a 60 ml bottle. You're expected to buy it with a 10 ml unflavoured nicotine topup, which you would pour in and mix to add the nicotine. It's a way of getting around restrictions on the size of ejuice bottles that include nicotine.

You can vape the short fill juice straight if you don't want nicotine. However, the flavour might be stronger than you want because it's intended to be diluted a little with the extra 10 ml of unflavoured nicotine. If that's an issue, you can get some plan VG and/or PG and add 10 ml of that instead.

The short-fill is cheaper because it's only part of the juice (if you want to add nicotine) and you have to buy the nic separately.
