The Best 50/50 Shortfill E-Liquids

50/50 shortfill e-liquids are the most economical way to keep your pod kit topped up with the flavourful and satisfying vape liquid you love.

50/50 shortfills are great for pod vape kit users and MTL vaping. They offer the same experience as nic salts and freebase nicotine e-liquids, but with a lower nicotine concentration.

In this blog post, we explore our top 6 favourite 50/50 shortfills, passing on our knowledge and expertise to improve your vape experience. But before we get into that, let’s explore what shortfills are in more detail.

What Are 50/50 Shortfills?

50/50 shortfills are larger bottles of nicotine-free vape liquid that are intentionally under (or ‘short’) filled so you can add your desired amount of nicotine. They have a 50/50 ratio of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) to give you the best combination of flavour, vapour and hit.

The vegetable glycerin creates a lot of vapour and gives you a smoother inhale, while the propylene glycol carries the flavour and gives a strong throat hit. 50/50 shortfills are ideal for lower wattage, MTL devices like refillable pod kits, and produce a similar experience to a disposable vape.

Shortfills most commonly come in 100ml volume, with 20ml of extra space for your nic shots, but you can also get them in smaller 50ml sizes and up to 200ml. Almost all of your favourite vape liquid flavours can be bought in shortfills, allowing you to save money, make the most of our multi-buy deals, and earn rewards.

If you have a high-wattage, sub-ohm vape kit and prefer huge clouds, high-VG shortfills in a 70/30 VG/PG mix are a much better choice.

So, what are some of Vape UK’s favourite shortfill brands?
