Why are nic shots 18mg?

Why are nicotine shots 18mg ?

Are you looking for nicotine shots for your brand new shortfill e-liquids but have been left disappointed as there are only 18mg nic shots available but you want 3mg? Did you know that by mixing the 18mg nic shot with your 0mg shortfill you will end up with a 3mg shortfill e-liquid?

The 18mg that you are seeing on the nicotine shot bottle is specific to that 10ml bottle only, once it is added to 50ml of 0mg e-liquid, this will then dilute to provide a much weaker mixture. If we provided nicotine shots in a 3mg strength - you won’t get anything at all due to how weak it would be!

You will only be able to create a 3mg shortfill in the UK using nicotine shots, unfortunately due to TRPR laws and regulations the highest level of nicotine that can be sold in the UK retail market is 20mg in 10ml bottles.

Don’t forget to check out our wide variety of Shortfill e-liquids and of course to pick up your nic shots! We have three different types available: Ice nic, Salt nic and Standard nic!
