50PG/50VG Shortfills
50PG/50VG shortfills are one of the smartest ways to vape in the UK right now. You get the same perfectly balanced blend of Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin that vapers love , but in larger bottles that save you money and reduce how often you…
need to restock.
These aren’t just bigger bottles of regular e-liquid. 50/50 shortfill vape juice is specifically designed to give you flexibility. The bottle comes partially filled, leaving room to add a nicotine shot if you want one , putting you in complete control of your vaping experience.
Popular with MTL (mouth-to-lung) vapers and pod kit users alike, 50PG/50VG shortfill e-liquids deliver the clean flavour, comfortable throat hit, and consistent vapour that everyday vapers depend on.
What Are 50PG/50VG Shortfills?
A 50/50 shortfill is a larger e-liquid bottle , typically 50ml or 100ml , that arrives without nicotine, leaving space at the top for you to add a nic shot:
- PG (Propylene Glycol) → carries flavour and delivers a gentle, satisfying throat hit
- VG (Vegetable Glycerin) → produces smooth vapour and adds a naturally soft feel
The equal ratio makes 50PG/50VG shortfill juice incredibly versatile. It performs well in pod kits, vape pens, and low-wattage MTL tanks without flooding or leaking. Add a standard 10ml nicotine shot to a 50ml shortfill and you end up with 60ml of perfectly mixed e-liquid at your chosen strength. Simple, cost-effective, and exactly what you need.
Why Choose 50PG/50VG Shortfills?
The appeal is straightforward. 50/50 shortfills give you more liquid for less money compared to buying multiple small bottles. One 50ml shortfill works out significantly cheaper per ml than buying five individual 10ml bottles of the same flavour.
The balanced ratio is another big reason vapers choose this format. You get consistent flavour without harshness, smooth vapour without heaviness, and a throat hit that feels natural all day long. Not too strong, not too mild , just right.
Trusted brands like Zeus Juice and Viscore produce excellent 50/50 shortfills that are consistently well-reviewed by UK vapers. Stock up, add your nic shots, and enjoy weeks of uninterrupted vaping.

How to Store 50PG/50VG Shortfills Properly
Storing your 50PG/50VG shortfill e-liquid correctly makes a real difference to flavour quality and shelf life. Keep bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, radiators, or anywhere that gets warm. Heat and light both degrade flavour compounds and nicotine over time.
Always seal bottles tightly after use. Exposure to air causes oxidation, which can make your liquid taste stale. If you’ve added a nicotine shot, give the bottle a firm shake for 30 to 60 seconds to mix everything evenly before vaping.
Proper storage keeps your shortfill vape juice tasting fresh and helps your coils stay clean for longer.
Compatible Vape Devices
50/50 shortfill liquids work best with:
- Vape starter kits – ideal for new vapers getting started
- Advanced vape kits – great for experienced vapers who prefer MTL setups
- Mods – compatible with mod setups running higher-resistance coils
- POD kits – the most popular pairing for 50/50 juice
- MTL tanks – smooth airflow and consistent flavour delivery
The balanced PG/VG ratio keeps the liquid thin enough to flow smoothly through pod coils and MTL tanks without wicking issues. These liquids are not suited for sub-ohm or high-wattage direct-lung devices.
Nicotine Strength Options
One of the biggest advantages of 50/50 shortfills is the ability to customise your nicotine level. Add a nic shot to suit your habits:
- 0mg → nicotine-free straight from the bottle , perfect for flavour-focused vapers
- 3mg → add a 10ml freebase nic shot to a 50ml shortfill
- 6mg → use a higher-strength nic shot or add two standard shots
- Nic Salts → add a salt nic shot for a smoother, faster-absorbing hit
Nic salt shots work particularly well with 50PG/50VG shortfill juice, delivering a noticeably smoother throat hit even at higher concentrations. Brands like Velo and Zyn offer popular nic salt options that pair seamlessly with 50/50 shortfills.

50/50 shortfills are built for vapers who want simplicity, great flavour, and real value
How to Mix and Use a 50PG/50VG Shortfill
Using a 50/50 shortfill is simple once you’ve done it once. Open your shortfill bottle and pour in your chosen nicotine shot into the space at the top. Seal the bottle and shake firmly for 30 to 60 seconds. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the nicotine to blend fully , then fill your pod or tank and vape as normal.
The ratio stays balanced at 50/50 throughout, so your device performs exactly as expected every single time.
How to Choose the Right 50PG/50VG Shortfill
Choosing the right 50/50 shortfill vape juice comes down to your device, your flavour preferences, and your nicotine needs.
If you use a pod kit or a low-wattage MTL tank, this ratio is a reliable match. The liquid flows well, flavour comes through clearly, and you won’t have wicking problems with standard coils. Devices from trusted names like Vaporesso and VooPoo pair especially well with 50/50 shortfill juice.
For nicotine strength, think about your current habits. Ex-smokers often do best starting with 3mg or 6mg. Long-term vapers who vape purely for flavour find 0mg or 3mg perfectly satisfying. Pick a familiar flavour first , something like raspberry or mint , then branch out from there.
