Ramsey Sweets 100ml Shortfill

A shortfill is a large bottle deliberately left part-empty. The Ramsey bottle holds 120ml but ships with 100ml of 0mg e-liquid, leaving a 20ml gap. That gap is there so you can add nicotine yourself: two 10ml nic shots at 18mg slot straight in, and once you cap and shake the bottle you have 120ml of roughly 3mg finished liquid. Buying it this way is cheaper and more flexible than a pre-nicotined bottle, and it is how most large-format e-liquid is sold in the UK.

The maths is simple. Two 18mg shots across 120ml works out at about 3mg, which suits most sub-ohm vapers. Want it stronger or weaker, you change how many shots you add or use a different shot strength, though high numbers in a sub-ohm setup get harsh. Prefer 0mg, just vape it as it comes without adding anything.

After adding the shots, give the bottle a good shake so the nicotine mixes through evenly, then leave it a few minutes to settle before filling your tank. The nicotine is flavourless, so the sweetshop flavour you chose tastes the same. From there it is a normal high-VG juice: pour it into a sub-ohm tank and vape it direct-to-lung.

The Ramsey Sweets line runs to eleven flavours, all built on classic British sweetshop tastes, the kind of pick-and-mix favourites you remember from the corner shop rather than the usual fruit-and-ice line-up. A guide to the full range:

A 70/30 shortfill is a sub-ohm juice. It is meant for direct-to-lung tanks running low-resistance coils, typically below 1.0ohm, where the high VG content vaporises into thick clouds and the airy draw feels right. In that kind of kit Ramsey Sweets performs as intended: bold candy flavour, plenty of vapour, smooth on the inhale.

It also works in a higher-powered refillable pod. What it is not for is a tight, low-power MTL pod, since the high VG is too thick for tiny coils and will wick poorly and taste muted. If a small pod is your setup, a 50/50 nic salt is the better match. Sweetshop flavours can be heavy, so a powerful tank that renders them cleanly suits them best.

So the rule of thumb is straightforward: big tank or a powerful pod, low-resistance coil, direct-to-lung draw means shortfill. If you want a nostalgic candy vape with real cloud, Ramsey Sweets is built for that. Browse the shortfill range to compare other blends.

Shortfills are the cheap way to vape large volumes, and a proper sweetshop range is a niche worth having. A quick comparison:

Adding nic shots and filling a tank takes a couple of minutes. The steps:

For a sweetshop shortfill, Ramsey Sweets scratches a specific itch. The flavours are genuinely nostalgic, the 70/30 blend clouds up nicely, and the shortfill format keeps the price per ml low. If you have a soft spot for Black Jacks, Palma Violets or a fruit-salad chew and you vape a sub-ohm tank, there are not many ranges that do this as completely, so it is an easy choice.

It is not for everyone. If you vape a tight MTL pod, this is the wrong product, and a 50/50 nic salt suits you better. Candy flavours are intensely sweet, so if you prefer fresh fruit or menthol all day, a whole range of sweets can become cloying. And if you do not want to handle nic shots, a pre-mixed salt is simpler, since a shortfill always needs that extra step.

The honest niggles are small: Ramsey is a smaller brand, and sweetshop flavours are a love-it-or-leave-it category. For the nostalgia and the cloud, though, it earns its place. Compare it with the other Ramsey lines, Bar Fusion and Treats, and the wider shortfill range before deciding.
