Drip 100ml Shortfills

A short fill is a bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid sold deliberately under-filled, leaving space for you to add nicotine via nic shots. The format exists because UK and EU rules cap nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles at 10ml, so anything larger has to be sold at 0mg. The short fill works around this: you buy a big 0mg bottle and a small high-strength nic shot, then mix the two yourself at home.

Drip 100ml is sold as 100ml of liquid in a 120ml bottle. The 20ml gap is sized for two 10ml nic shots. Once added, the bottle fills to 120ml and the nicotine spreads evenly through the batch. Buying flavour and nicotine separately like this works out cheaper per millilitre than buying the equivalent in 10ml nic-salt bottles, which is the main reason high-volume sub-ohm vapers prefer short fills.

The only cost is a small mixing step and, ideally, a short steep. You add the shots, cap the bottle, shake it well and leave it a little while for the nicotine to integrate. None of it is difficult, and the how-to below walks through it. If you would rather not mix, the Drip 10ml nic salt range is ready to vape from the bottle, though it is for MTL pods rather than sub-ohm gear.

The maths is simple once you have done it once. The bottle holds 100ml of 0mg liquid with room for 20ml of nic shots. Nic shots are almost always 10ml at 18mg or 20mg in a 50/50 base. Adding one 18mg shot to the 100ml gives you 110ml at roughly 1.5mg; adding two gives you 120ml at roughly 3mg. With 20mg shots, two of them land you at roughly 3.3mg.

Most sub-ohm DTL vapers run 3mg, because the high power and big draws of sub-ohm gear deliver plenty of nicotine per puff. Two 18mg shots making 3mg is the typical choice for a 100ml short fill. If you want a lighter result you can add just one shot, and if you want it stronger you would need higher-strength shots in a smaller mix, but 3mg is the natural fit for this bottle size.

Adding the shots slightly shifts the 70/30 ratio toward more PG, since nic shots are usually 50/50, but with two 10ml shots in 100ml the change is small and the liquid stays firmly high-VG. It still performs as a sub-ohm juice. The how-to below covers the practical side.

Drip 100ml is a high-VG 70/30 liquid, so it belongs in sub-ohm gear. The thick juice wants a low-resistance mesh coil with good wicking and airflow, the kind found in a sub-ohm tank or a direct-to-lung pod-mod, usually below 0.5 ohm. In that setup it produces the dense clouds and full flavour the range is built for.

It is not the right liquid for a small mouth-to-lung pod kit. A tight 1.0 ohm-plus coil cannot wick a 70/30 liquid fast enough and will give muted flavour or dry hits. If your device is a discreet pocket pod made for nic salts, the Drip 10ml nic salt range is the correct sister product; this high-VG short fill will underperform in an MTL pod.

For the best results, run it in a dedicated sub-ohm tank on a box mod or a powerful DTL pod-mod. Our sub-ohm tanks and replacement coils sections cover suitable hardware. Run it at the wattage your coil recommends, and keep the tank topped up so the coil never runs dry, especially with the sweeter dessert and candy flavours, which coat coils a little faster.

Drip 100ml has one of the widest house ranges going, with more than thirty blends spanning fruit, berry, drinks, candy and dessert. That breadth is the appeal: whatever you usually vape, there is likely a match, and the single large format means you can commit to a big bottle of a flavour you know you like. The range is grouped below by character to make a long list easier to navigate.

Fruit and berry blends lead the way: Apple Mango, Grape, Watermelon Grape, Kiwi Guava Pear, Orange Passionfruit, Strawberry Orange, Strawberry Punch, Fruit Salad, Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Wild Berries, Mad Blue and Pineapple Ice cover everything from single fruits to complex tropical and berry medleys. The drinks and soda group adds Cherry Cola, Cherry Lemonade, Fizzy Orange and NRG, the energy-drink blend, for vapers who like a carbonated or soft-drink character.

Sweet-shop candy fans are well served by Bubblegum, Cotton Candy, Rainbow Candy, Cola Cubes, Pear Drops and Raspberry Sherbet, while the dessert group brings Apple Pie, Apple Blackberry Crumble, Banana Custard and Vanilla Custard for richer, baked profiles. Classic and tobacco-leaning options round it out: Blackcurrant, Blue Raspberry, Lemon Lime, Raspberry Jam, Menthol, VMT (a menthol-tobacco style), Black Aniseed, Caramel Tobacco and H-Berg. Buying a 100ml of a flavour you trust is the easy way to settle on an all-day vape.

With a range this broad you will vape everything from clean fruit to heavy custard, and the sweeter end throws up a few more coil-related niggles than the rest. As always, almost every issue comes down to gear or a tired coil rather than the juice itself. The quick fixes below cover the ones that come up most across the line.

Drip 100ml earns its place on the sheer breadth of the range. Thirty-plus blends across fruit, drinks, candy and dessert means that once you find a flavour you trust, you can commit to a big bottle of it and keep your tank fed cheaply. As a workhorse sub-ohm short fill rather than a boutique one, that is exactly the pitch.

The catches are the usual short-fill ones plus one of its own: it arrives at 0mg so there is a mixing step, it needs sub-ohm gear, and the long flavour list can be genuinely hard to pick from on a first order. If you already know what you like and run a DTL setup, weigh the pros and cons below.
