Are Shortfills Right for Heavy Vapers?
For many vapers, a 10 ml bottle lasts a few days. But if you’re a heavy vaper, that might only cover a single evening. Constantly restocking small bottles can be frustrating, expensive, and wasteful.
This is where shortfill vape juices come in. With bigger bottles, lower cost per ml, and the flexibility to add your own nicotine shots, shortfills are increasingly the format of choice for regular and heavy users. But are they really the best option for you? Let’s break it down.
Cost and Convenience Benefits of 100 ml Shortfills
Lower Cost per ml
- 100 ml HVG shortfill + 2 nic shots (120 ml total) costs around £10.
- The same volume in 10 ml bottles would cost £12–£24.
- Over the course of a year, heavy vapers could save hundreds of pounds by switching to shortfills.
Fewer Bottles, Less Waste
- Instead of juggling 12+ small bottles, you only need one large shortfill and a couple of nic shots.
- Less plastic waste and less hassle refilling tanks.
Longer Sessions Between Purchases
- 100 ml bottles last longer and reduce the number of purchases you need to make.
- Perfect for heavy users who want to avoid running out of juice midweek.
How Much Vape Juice Do You Use?
- Light vapers (10–20 ml per week): 10 ml bottles may be more convenient, especially at higher strengths.
- Moderate vapers (30–50 ml per week): Shortfills offer a good balance of value and flexibility.
- Heavy vapers (60–100 ml+ per week): Shortfills are the most economical, especially in 100 ml HVG bottles.
Pro Tip: Track how much e-liquid you use per week—it helps calculate whether shortfills will save you money.
Mixing step
You’ll need to add nic shots and shake before vaping — not difficult, but less convenient than ready-made 10 ml bottles.
