What Are The Best Shortfill E-liquids To Buy In 2024?
Bigger bottles of your favourite blends.Shortfill e-liquids provide vapers with an underfilled bottle of e-liquid that a nicotine booster shot can be added to. For example, a 60ml shortfill e-liquid would contain 50ml of 0mg e-liquid, to which you could add a 10ml, 18mg nicotine shot. When mixed you would have 60ml of 3mg e-liquid. These bigger bottles have become some of the most popular e-liquid we stock.
When the TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) came into effect on May 2017, among other things such as capping tank sizes, it prohibited the sale of e-liquids containing nicotine in bottles larger than 10ml. This, in turn, led to the creation of shortfill e-liquid, which have become very popular over the last few years. Many e-liquid manufacturers, both in the UK and abroad have chosen to release their ranges in this particular format.
We've put together our top ten shortfill e-liquids guide to help make picking that little bit easier. The majority of these e-liquids feature a 70% VG concentration which means they perform best in a sub ohm vape kit, available as either 50ml or 100ml variants. You'll find a range of flavours with everything from fruit to candy and even menthol. All at different prices to suit every budget.

Heisenberg is easily one of the most imitated flavours in vaping, and although many have tried, in our opinion no-one has ever topped the Vampire Vape original. This popular flavour blends mixed berries with menthol, aniseed and a secret ingredient - while this sounds simple, this blend is anything but. It's complex and layered and well-balanced, which makes it an ideal all-day vape. The 100ml bottle size leaves room to add up to two nicotine shots if you prefer a vape that contains nicotine, but it can also be vaped as-is if you like a nicotine-free option.
This e-liquid is a pure dessert flavour - no fruit, ices or menthols here! Ideal for lovers of all things creamy, Butterscotch Custard blends the sweet flavour of butterscotch with the familiar taste of vanilla custard. The large 100ml bottle will hold up to two nicotine shots for a final blend that's up to 3mg nicotine strength. The rest of the Future Juice range features a wide variety of fruity, dessert and sweets flavours so there's something for everyone.
If you're a fan of blends that contrast sweet and sharp notes, then Boulevard shortfill e-liquid by Wick Liquor should hit the spot. This bold fusion of fruit flavours complements the juicy taste of fruit punch with the tart notes of Malibu loganberry pulp. The tangier notes do a good job of balancing the sweetness, delivering a layered vape overall. This e-liquid is blended to an 80% VG concentration, so it'll create even larger clouds than other shortfills and will work best with sub ohm vape kits. If you fancy a bit of ice added into the mix, why not try Boulevard Shattered?

Available in a 120ml bottle, there's extra space for you to add two nicotine shots of your desired strength. The 70% VG concentration is perfect for DTL (Direct To Lung) kits and tanks.
Capping off this list, we have a fruity fusion that combines sweet and tart notes with a fizzy finish.
