Description

Spearmint 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquid by IVG, 100ml

A fresh punch of spearmint with a subtle hint of bubblegum sweetness on the exhale.

IVG (I Vape Great) is one of the UK’s most established e-liquid brands, known for bold, accurate flavour profiles and consistent quality across their entire range. The 100ml shortfill line is built specifically for sub-ohm DTL vapers who want long-lasting bottles, rich vapour production, and flavours that hold up to high-power tanks.

How It Tastes

Crisp, clean spearmint hits the palate first, delivering a cooling sensation without the harshness of heavy menthol. The bubblegum undertone adds a soft sweetness that rounds out the mint and keeps it from feeling medicinal.

Refreshing spearmint with a soft bubblegum finish.

Profile notes: Spearmint, Mint, Cool, Bubblegum.

About the 100ml Shortfill Format

A shortfill is a larger bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid with deliberate headspace left for you to add nicotine shots yourself. The reason this format exists is the UK TPD regulation, which restricts nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles to a maximum of 10ml. Shortfills get around this by selling the flavoured base separately from the nicotine, letting you legally buy 100ml or more at a time and customise the strength to suit your needs.

This bottle contains 100ml of 0mg flavoured e-liquid in a 120ml chubby gorilla bottle. The empty 20ml at the top is where the nicotine shots go. With your two free 10ml 18mg nic shots, you can mix the whole bottle to 3mg final strength, which is the standard sub-ohm DTL nicotine level for vapers who want noticeable nicotine without overwhelming the lungs at high wattages.

How to Mix Your Shortfill

Mixing is straightforward. Pop the cap off the 120ml shortfill bottle, then pop the cap off each 10ml nic shot. Squeeze the contents of both shots into the shortfill, replace the original cap, and give the bottle a thorough shake for 30 seconds to a minute to distribute the nicotine evenly. That is it. Some vapers like to let the mixed liquid steep in a cool dark place for a few hours or even a day to “marry” the flavour and nicotine, but for most modern shortfills like IVG’s range you can vape straight after mixing.

You do not have to add both shots if you want a lower nicotine strength. One 10ml 18mg shot in 100ml of shortfill gives you 110ml at roughly 1.6mg, suitable for vapers stepping down nicotine. Zero shots leaves you with 100ml of pure 0mg flavoured e-liquid, ideal for nicotine-free vapers.

What Devices Work With It

This shortfill is built for sub-ohm direct-to-lung vaping. That means devices with replaceable sub-ohm coils (typically 0.15Ω to 0.4Ω) running at 30W and above, paired with sub-ohm tanks like the Uwell Crown, GeekVape Zeus, Vaporesso iTank, OXVA Arbiter, Smok TFV series, and similar. Most modern vape mods and starter kits in the 60W+ range will handle this beautifully.

The 70/30 VG/PG ratio is the standard for DTL vaping, producing strong vapour production with excellent flavour preservation. The slightly higher PG (compared to max-VG 80/20 or 90/10 juices) keeps the flavour bright and avoids dulling the profile, which is particularly important for the more nuanced flavours in the IVG range.

Don’t use this shortfill in MTL pod kits or refillable pods designed for nic salts (like Caliburn, XROS, Xlim). The 70VG ratio is too thick for those coils’ wicking systems, and you would experience dry hits and burnt cotton within minutes.

A Few Common Questions

What is a shortfill, exactly? A shortfill is a bottle that contains less e-liquid than the bottle’s full capacity. The “shortfall” is deliberate, leaving room to add nicotine shots. This format exists because UK TPD law limits nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles to 10ml, but allows unlimited bottle sizes of 0mg liquid. The combination of a 100ml flavoured base + 10ml-20ml of nic shots gives you 110-120ml of usable e-liquid at your chosen strength.

How long does a 100ml shortfill last? For a typical sub-ohm DTL vaper, around 10-14 days of regular use. That works out at significantly less per ml than buying multiple 10ml bottles, which is the main reason shortfills are popular with high-power vapers.

What strength can I mix to? With two 10ml 18mg shots in 100ml of shortfill, you reach 3mg final strength in 120ml of e-liquid. That’s the standard for most sub-ohm DTL vapers. You can use one shot for around 1.6mg, or skip nicotine entirely for a 0mg vape. For higher strengths, you would need to use a smaller volume of shortfill (e.g., 50ml of base + 20ml of 18mg shots gives roughly 5.1mg final strength).

Can I use nic salt shots instead of freebase shots? Yes, and many vapers prefer this. Nic salt shots (typically 20mg) deliver a smoother throat hit than 18mg freebase shots at the same nicotine level, and they are absorbed slightly faster. The free shots included with this bottle are freebase 18mg, but you can buy nic salt shots separately if you prefer that style.

Do I have to steep the shortfill after mixing? No, modern shortfills like IVG’s are ready to vape immediately after shaking. Some vapers prefer to let the bottle sit for a few hours or a day to allow the nicotine to fully blend with the flavour, which can deepen the taste slightly, but it is not necessary. Shake well and you are ready.

Will the flavour fade over time? If stored properly (cool, dark place, cap tight), an IVG shortfill will retain its flavour for at least 18 months from manufacture. Avoid sunlight, heat, and oxygen exposure. The expiry date is printed on the bottle.

What’s the difference between shortfill and 10ml nic salts? Three main things. Shortfills are 100ml+ bottles of 0mg flavoured base that you mix nicotine into, typically vaped sub-ohm at 30W+. 10ml nic salts are pre-mixed at 10mg or 20mg, sold in legally compliant 10ml bottles, and vaped at low wattage in pod kits. Shortfills give you more liquid for less money per ml; nic salts give you stronger nicotine in smaller devices.

Safety and Warnings

This 100ml shortfill bottle contains 0mg of nicotine on its own. When mixed with the included 18mg nic shots, the final e-liquid contains nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance. Sale and use restricted to adults aged 18 and over only. Not suitable for non-smokers, people who have never used nicotine products, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone with heart, blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, asthma conditions, or anyone taking medication for depression or anxiety. Keep all bottles and nic shots out of reach of children and pets at all times. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If liquid contacts skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. Never use sub-ohm e-liquid in pod kits designed for nic salts, as the wrong wicking can cause coil burnout and unsafe vapour production.
