What Are The Best Shortfill E-liquids To Buy In 2025?
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 has 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.
Top Ten Shortfills To Buy In The UK
Blue Razz Berry by Seriously Fruity combines the flavours of juicy raspberry and ripe blueberries. The sweet and sharp notes make this a balanced vape. The large 100ml bottle provides a convenient option for anyone looking for long-lasting e-liquid - and if you add two nicotine shots, the final size will be 120ml. Seriously Fruity specialise in fruit blends (if you couldn't tell from the name!) so, while this is the customer favourite from the range, be sure to check out the full Seriously Fruity range if you're a lover of fruit vapes.
For something that balances sweet and cool flavours look no further than Berry N’Ice shortfill e-liquid by 50 Large. A tangy red berry medley is layered with sweet menthol and a kick of ice on exhale. This shortfill comes with an 18mg nic shot to give you everything you need to create 60ml of 3mg e-liquid.
As far as flavour goes, Mango, Strawberry & Pineapple by Summer Love does exactly as it says on the tin (or bottle!), thanks to its sweet mix of mango, tangy pineapple and juicy strawberry notes, you’ll taste a hint of summer in every puff. Sub ohm vapers will be glad to know it boasts a 70% VG concentration that allows for a large amount of vapour. If you’re looking for a blend that’ll see you through the season (we’ll stop with the puns now) stock up using our 3 for £15 multi-buy offer.
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.
Ruthless have a reputation for bold flavours and Grape Drank is no different. Rich notes of red grape are combined with zingy soda and tangy candy notes to deliver a sweet flavour reminiscent of a popular drink. This e-liquid boasts a 60% VG concentration that will produce a large amount of vapour, although not as much as some of the others you’ll find on this list.
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?
Our next entry, Strawberry Jam With Clotted Cream shortfill by Big Bold Creamy, is an ideal choice if you’re after something summery. The sweet taste of strawberry jam greets you on inhale, complimented by rich and smooth-tasting clotted cream notes. This flavour is available in a 120ml bottle, letting you add up to two nicotine shots to the bottle.
If it’s an old school British dessert flavour you’re after, you won’t find many that deliver like Rhubarb and Custard shortfill by Brutal does. The tart taste of rhubarb is softened by creamy-tasting custard for an indulgent vape. While this shortfill features a 70% VG concentration for DTL vaping, Brutal also offers a nic salt option for the MTL vapers out there!
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.
Lemon Tart shortfill e-liquid by Dinner Lady is one of our best selling dessert flavours, and it’s easy to see why! The taste of sweet meringue and buttery pastry is countered by a zesty kick from lemon curd notes for a punchy dessert flavour. Available as 50ml of 0mg e-liquid in a 60ml bottle, there’s space to add once 18mg nic shot to create 60ml of 3mg e-liquid.
