10ml E-liquid

TPD eliquids are products which conform to the TPD (Tobacco Products Directive), which means that they contain no more than 20mg of nicotine and must be packaged in 10ml bottles. If you want to use an eliquid premixed with nicotine, then TPD eliquids are your only option. You'll find versions that will be suitable for both MTL (Mouth To Lung) and sub ohm vape kits, as well a huge range of vape flavours and nicotine strengths.

Unlike shortfill eliquids, these 10ml's don't require you to buy or add any nicotine shots. Instead, they can be vaped straight out of the bottle, whilst their low cost makes them a very practical solution for vaping on a budget. If you are considering a shortfill, remember that they are usually designed to create an eliquid with a 3mg strength, so if you're looking to try a higher nicotine strength a 10ml will work better.

When it comes to pairing your 10ml e-liquid with a vape kit, you're in luck, there are compatible options for every type of refillable kit. Like all eliquid you'll need to pick one that has the right VG/PG consistency and nicotine strength. For more information we recommend you check out our e-liquid beginner's guide.

To get you started, MTL kits work best with a 50% VG eliquid or lower. This also goes for pod kits that use sub ohm coils but have a low wattage output, sometimes known as restricted DTL kits. Higher PG eliquids are thinner and therefore require less power to be turned into vapour, they'll also create less vapour overall - making them more discreet. High VG eliquids will be thicker and require more power to heat, in turn creating more vapour. A 70% VG eliquid or higher will work best with a sub ohm kit.

When it comes to nicotine level any strength can be used with an MTL kit. With a sub ohm kit however, we recommend a strength that's no higher than 6mg, otherwise it will create a throat hit that's too harsh; 3mg is by far the most popular choice.

Under the TPD, any eliquid that contains nicotine must be sold in a bottle or container no bigger than 10ml. If you're looking to buy larger bottles of eliquid you should consider a shortfill. Shortfill eliquids are underfilled bottles that have room for a nicotine shot. They contain no nicotine so can be sold in larger bottles, with popular sizes including 50ml and 100ml. Nic shots can be found in different strengths and are available in 10ml bottles.

However, shortfills are only an option if you use lower nicotine strengths, as they are usually designed to create a 3mg eliquid once the nic shot has been added. If you are using higher strengths then your best bet is to stick with 10ml options. If you want to buy larger volumes we recommend you check out our multibuy deals such as 4 eliquids for £10.

It's the wide amount of choice that makes TPD liquids the most popular. Not only is there a large selection of VG/PG ratios and nicotine strengths on offer, but also different types of nicotine. The main types are freebase, salt and hybrid.

Freebase nicotine eliquids create a stronger throat hit and offer a vape that feels closest to a cigarette. If you're looking to experience a smoother throat hit though, you should try nic salt eliquid. Not only is it smoother (even at higher strengths), it's also absorbed faster to satisfy cravings quickly. Finally, there's the option of hybrid nicotine which combines both freebase and nic salts, for an eliquid that has a noticeable throat hit but still satisfies cravings quickly - for the best of both worlds.

10ml TPD eliquids are small, low cost and available in a very wide range of flavours, nicotine strengths and VG/PG ratios. It's no surprise then that they're often the first and only kind of eliquid some vapers ever buy. That being said, to ensure the best vape for you personally, you should always weigh up the alternatives.

TPD eliquids may offer a lower one-off cost, but if you look at price per millilitre it's generally cheaper to buy a shortfill even when you have to buy a nic shot on top. However, one downside to a shortfill is that they're quite large bottles and are less pocket-friendly than a 10ml.

There's also the issue of personal taste, if you don't like the flavour of your shortfill, you'll be stuck with at the very least 60ml of eliquid you don't like. A 10ml stops you wasting as much eliquid and money if you're buying a flavour you haven't tried before. Often shortfill flavours are also available as TPD versions too, so it's worth picking up a 10ml bottle to try the flavour before investing in a larger shortfill.
