Nic shots are flavourless e-liquids that contain concentrated nicotine. They can be purchased in 10ml bottles and vapers can choose from different strengths depending on how much nicotine they need and the sort of device they are using.

Nicotine shots are liquids composed largely of two components, VG and PG. VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin and PG stands for Propylene Glycol, and these two ingredients determine the throat hit, vapour production and flavour strength of your vape juice. As nic shots are not made with any flavour, the main aspect to be considered here is the throat hit and nicotine strength.

Nic shots are available in a range of different VG/PG ratios, allowing vapers to match their nic shot to the ratio of their chosen shortfill vape juice. Nic shots commonly have a 70/30 VG to PG ratio, however these e-liquids are also available in 60/40 and 50/50.

Nicotine shots are flavourless e-liquids that are intended to be added to shortfills to boost their nicotine content, whereas shortfills are flavoured bottles of e-liquid that have no nicotine in them. Shortfill bottles come in 50ml or 100ml, and are designed with a bit of space in the bottle to combine with your nic shots. This gives vapers complete control over their desired nic strength as you can add a little, or as much as you like to your liquid.

There isn't a 'best' strength, as the preferred strength of nicotine can differ from person to person. How much nicotine a vaper may want is a personal choice depending on whether they were an ex-smoker, or someone who just wants to vape casually. Nic shots typically have a nicotine content of 18mg, however they are available in other strengths, such as 10mg.

Vaping nic shots on their own is not recommended as it can provide a very harsh throat hit, especially if attempting to sub-ohm vape. Due to their strength, they are intended to be mixed with shortfills.
