What Are IVG Shortfills? Complete Guide to 50ml & 100ml Vape Juice Options
July 28, 2025
Conclusion
What makes IVG shortfills different from nic salts?
IVG shortfills feature 70% VG / 30% PG ratios designed for DTL vaping and cloud production, while nic salts use 50/50 ratios optimised for MTL devices. Shortfills come nicotine-free with space for customizable nic shot addition, whereas nic salts contain pre-mixed nicotine (typically 10mg or 20mg).
How many puffs are in 100ml of vape juice?
Shortfill consumption in DTL devices varies significantly based on device power, coil resistance, airflow settings, and individual vaping patterns. Unlike disposables with predictable puff counts, shortfills can last anywhere from days to weeks depending on usage frequency and device setup. Focus on finding your preferred flavours and device compatibility rather than specific puff calculations.
Can I use IVG shortfills in pod systems?
Yes, but only in DTL pod systems designed for high-VG e-liquids with coils typically rated 0.3-0.8ohm. Standard MTL pod systems designed for 50/50 e-liquids may struggle with the thicker consistency of shortfills and won't provide optimal flavour or performance.
How do I add nicotine to IVG shortfills?
Add the entire contents of standard 18mg/ml nicotine shots to your shortfill bottle, replace the cap securely, and shake vigorously for 60-90 seconds. One 10ml nic shot added to a 50ml shortfill creates 3mg final strength, while two shots in a 100ml shortfill also creates 3mg strength.
Do IVG shortfills need steeping?
While many IVG shortfills are vapeable immediately, steeping for 3-14 days can enhance flavour complexity and smoothness. Fruit flavours typically benefit from shorter steeping (3-7 days), while dessert and complex profiles often improve with longer steeping periods (7-14 days). Store mixed bottles in cool, dark places and shake occasionally during steeping.
What's the best IVG shortfill flavour?
Popular crowd-pleasers include Riberry Lemonade for its sophisticated blackcurrant and lemonade blend, Blue Raspberry for classic berry balance, and Tropical Ice Blast for refreshing fruit with cooling. The "best" flavour depends on personal preference—fruit lovers gravitate toward berry blends, while those seeking refreshment prefer ice variants.
Are IVG shortfills better value than smaller bottles?
Yes, significantly. IVG shortfills typically offer 30-50% cost savings compared to equivalent volumes in smaller bottles, while providing customizable nicotine levels and substantial volume for heavy DTL users. A 100ml shortfill often costs less than four 25ml bottles while offering superior flexibility.
Can I mix different IVG shortfills together?
While technically possible, we recommend enjoying IVG shortfills as intended to experience their carefully crafted flavour profiles. If experimenting with mixing, start with small test amounts and ensure compatible flavour profiles. Keep detailed notes of successful combinations for future reference.
What devices work best with IVG shortfills?
IVG shortfills perform optimally with sub-ohm tanks, DTL pod systems, or rebuildable atomizers featuring 0.2-0.6ohm coils and adjustable airflow. Power requirements typically range from 40-80W depending on coil resistance and personal preference. Avoid standard MTL devices designed for 50/50 e-liquids.
