How to Use a Nicotine Shot

Sky Vapes

A nicotine shot is a small nicotine bottle with empty space left in mind. Shortfills are sold at 0mg, underfilled, so you can add one or more shots and end up with a larger bottle at a low strength. This is for sub-ohm vaping. It is not how you make a 20mg nic salt.

A 10ml nic salt is already finished. Do not add a shot to it. You would push the strength and the flavour off, and a pod kit is the wrong home for that mix.

The usual steps

Shortfills and larger bottles are in e-liquids. If you only own a pod kit, skip the shot and buy a 10ml salt instead. The strength on the salt bottle is already the strength you vape.

  • Read the shortfill label. It tells you how many shots the bottle was left short for.
  • Open the shortfill, pour in the shot, and close it.
  • Shake until the liquid looks even. Nicotine sits in the bottle until you do.
  • Leave it a few minutes, then fill the tank. Use a sub-ohm kit from sub-ohm kits.

18+ only. You must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK. Nicotine is highly addictive. This is a shopping guide for adults who already vape.
