What is Nic Nic 50% VG Nicotine Shot?
A nicotine shot is the solution to the UK's 10ml maximum rule for nicotine-containing e-liquids. Shortfills are sold as 0mg bases in bottles large enough to accept a nic shot — typically 100ml in a 120ml bottle. The 50% VG nic shot from Nic Nic is formulated in a 50/50 PG/VG base to match 50/50 shortfills, ensuring the added nicotine does not significantly change the ratio or character of the finished liquid.
Adding a 10ml 18mg nic shot to a 100ml shortfill gives approximately 1.5mg at 110ml total volume. For closer to 3mg, use two nic shots (filling the 120ml bottle to capacity). The choice of 50/50 versus 70/30 nic shot depends on which matches your shortfill's base ratio.
- A 50/50 PG/VG nic shot — preserves the ratio of 50/50 shortfills when added.
- Unflavoured and colourless — adds nicotine without changing the shortfill flavour.
- Use with any 100ml shortfill in a 120ml bottle to reach approximately 3mg at 110ml total.
- UK-manufactured, MHRA compliant nicotine base.
- Pairs with the full [Nic Up](/nic-up-50-50-nic-shot) range for alternative bases.

How to use a nicotine shot
Open the shortfill bottle. Remove enough of the e-liquid to leave space (or shake to confirm there is already space). Pour the 10ml nic shot into the shortfill bottle. Replace the cap and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Leave to steep for at least 15 minutes before vaping — longer steeping (30-60 minutes) allows the nicotine to fully integrate with the flavour concentrate.
For 50/50 shortfills specifically, use the 50% VG nic shot rather than a 70/30 nic shot to maintain the ratio. Using a 70/30 nic shot in a 50/50 shortfill will increase the VG content slightly, which may affect flavour delivery and device compatibility.
Which nic shot ratio do I need?
The ratio of your nic shot should match the ratio of your shortfill to maintain consistency. The Nic Nic range covers 50% VG, 70% VG, 100% VG and an ice variant — the 50% VG shot is the correct choice for 50/50 shortfills. For 70/30 VG shortfills (most Just Juice, Wild Roots and Lancashire Creamery options), use the Nic Nic 70% VG shot.
If you want to add a mentholated note to your shortfill, the Nic Nic 70% VG Ice Shot provides nicotine delivery alongside a cooling menthol element.
The good
- Correct ratio for 50/50 shortfills — no flavour or ratio distortion.
- Unflavoured and colourless — does not alter the shortfill flavour.
- UK-manufactured, MHRA compliant.
- Cost-effective at £4.99 per 10ml shot.
The catch
- Only compatible with 50/50 shortfills without ratio distortion — use 70/30 shot for high-VG shortfills.
- Freebase nicotine — not a nic salt shot; for pod kits expecting salts this is a different nicotine type.

Frequently asked questions
What strength does my e-liquid become after adding this nic shot?
Adding one 10ml 18mg shot to a 100ml shortfill gives approximately 1.5mg at 110ml. Adding two shots to fill a 120ml bottle gives approximately 3mg at 120ml. The exact strength depends on your shortfill bottle capacity.
Can I use a 50/50 nic shot in a 70/30 shortfill?
Yes, but it will slightly increase the PG content of the final blend. The effect is minor at 10ml added to 100ml, but using the matching ratio is technically better practice.
Is this the same as a nic salt shot?
No. This is a freebase nicotine shot. Nic salt shots use a different nicotine chemistry. For shortfills used in sub-ohm tanks, freebase is correct. The [Nic Nic salt shot](/nic-salt-shot-nicotine-shot) is available separately for salt-compatible applications.
