Nicotine Shots

Nicotine shots, also called nic shots, are the go-to DIY option for adding a nicotine kick to your shortfill vape juices. Available in a range of VG/PG ratios, you can easily match the perfect shot to your vape juice. 

Choose from smooth nic salts or classic freebase nicotine, depending on your vape style. Each 10ml bottle usually packs 18mg/ml of nicotine, which gets diluted once mixed in. 

Most nic shots are unflavoured to avoid altering the flavour profile of your chosen e-liquid, but if you're after something extra, try a flavoured shot for a cool or fizzy twist.

What’s the difference between nicotine salt and nic shots?

Nicotine shots and nicotine salts are both used to deliver nicotine in vaping, but they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics and should not be mixed.

Nicotine shots, usually made with freebase nicotine, are added to shortfill e-liquids to boost nicotine strength. Nicotine salts are a chemically different form of nicotine, often found in pre-mixed e-liquids, offering a smoother throat hit and quicker nicotine absorption.

What strength nicotine shot should I choose?

The nicotine strength you choose depends on your personal preference and past smoking habits. If you’re a heavy smoker or have recently made the switch to vaping, a higher nicotine strength might be more satisfying. Lighter smokers or experienced vapers often opt for lower strengths.

We offer a variety of nicotine options to suit every need, and you can add multiple nic shots to reach your ideal level.

Products we recommend:

• Feast Treats Nicotine Shot 18mg
• Feast Treats Nicotine Shot 15mg
• Drifter 20mg Nicotine Salt Shot

Are nic shots compatible with all e-liquids?

Nic shots are designed specifically for shortfill e-liquids, which have space left in the bottle for easy mixing. They shouldn’t be added to pre-mixed 10ml e-liquids.

How do I mix a nic shot with my shortfill?

Simply remove the shortfill cap, squeeze in the nic shot, replace the cap, and shake well. Let it steep for a bit to ensure even blending.

Why add nic shots to short fill e-liquid?

Nicotine shots are added to shortfill e-liquids to increase the nicotine strength of the vape juice. 

Shortfills are large bottles of nicotine-free e-liquid with space left for adding nicotine to reach a desired strength. 

Adding a nic shot allows vapers to customize their nicotine intake and enjoy a larger bottle of e-liquid at a specific strength, rather than buying multiple smaller bottles.

Can I use nicotine shots in any device?

Nicotine shots are designed to be added to nicotine-free shortfill e-liquids to increase their nicotine strength, and they often lack the flavorings found in regular e-liquids. 

Vaping a nicotine shot on its own might result in a harsh, unpleasant taste.

Are they safe?

Nicotine shots are generally safe when used correctly, but caution is essential due to nicotine's addictive nature. 

You must always handle nic shots carefully; wear gloves, avoid skin contact, and store them in a cool, dark place, away from children and pets.

Never vape nic shots on their own; they are meant to be mixed with shortfill e-liquids. 

Follow mixing instructions closely to avoid high nicotine concentrations and ensure the shot's VG/PG ratio matches your e-liquid, and do not mix nic shots with nicotine salts. Remember to always check expiration dates before use. 

While vaping is considered less harmful than smoking, it's not risk-free. Nicotine can affect the brain, heart, and blood pressure. The long-term effects of vaping are still being researched.

How long does a nicotine shot last?

This depends on:

• Strength
• Frequency of use

For reference, a single 10ml nicotine shot is equivalent to about one hundred traditional cigarettes.
