Nic shots are 10ml bottles of nicotine that are unflavoured and suspended in a VG (Vegetable Glycerin) or PG (Propylene Glycol) carrier. They are available in a range of strengths from 11mg to 20mg/ml. The strength of the nic shot you choose will influence your throat hit, vapor production and flavor strength.

They’re designed to be added to a short-fill E-Liquid with a high VG base. This allows you to sidestep the TPD regulations that state only 10ml of nicotine-based e liquids can be sold to EU vapers.

Navigating the Nic Shot Landscape: A Guide to Customizing Nicotine Strength in Your Vape

There are a few different types of nicotine shots, the most common being a freebase option such as the Ohm Brew booster nic shot. These provide a quick hit with a slightly rough throat feel and are ideal for a high VG vape. Alternatively, there are salt nicotine nic shots that are better suited to lower wattage devices and offer smoother inhale with less irritation of the throat.

Adding a nic shot to your shortfill is as simple as opening the bottle, pouring in the nic shot and shaking. You can find a full guide to mixing and preparing shortfills with nic shots in our blog here. Usually, you will need to add 1 nic shot per 50ml of shortfill.

We recommend using the highest nicotine strength that your device can handle as this will produce the most satisfying vape.
