If you are new to the e-cigarette field, you may already be familiar with the common 10-ml e-liquid bottle, which is widely available on major vape websites and physical convenience stores. However, you will soon discover some novel and unusual forms of e-vape - short fill and long fill. These bottles may look a little different at first, but once you get a handle on their characteristics, you'll realize that they're an extremely cost-effective way to enhance your e-cigarette experience. When buying a short fill or a long fill, you are actually making a bulk purchase, which can save you some expense compared to disposable products or other smaller e-liquid bottles. However, there are significant differences between short fill and long fill, and you should be aware of these differences before rushing to buy. So, what is the difference between short fill and long fill?

What Is a Shortfill E-Liquid?

Short-fill e-liquid is one of the most popular products in the e-cigarette market. If you can make a few simple Settings, they will provide you with the best taste experience and value.

According to TPD regulations, e-cigarette liquids containing nicotine may not be sold in bottles of 10 ml or larger capacity. This regulation limits the cost-effectiveness of nicotine-containing e-liquids because they cannot be sold in larger capacity bottles.

The short fill is usually a large bottle of 120 ml, most of which is nicotine-free e-liquid. There is room in the bottle so you can add nicotine as needed.

Most short-fill products are sold with nicotine salt injections or free base nicotine injections. You can choose a concentration of 3 mg or 6 mg, which will affect the amount of e-liquid base you get and the amount of injection you need to add.

If you prefer a higher concentration of nicotine (e.g. 10 mg), consider using a smaller 60 ml short-fill bottle, such as our gift-box-set range. These products have a double concentrated flavor, allowing you to add more nicotine without affecting the taste.

A Short Fill is a nicotine-free e-liquid that usually comes in larger bottles, but the actual capacity of the liquid is slightly lower than the nominal capacity of the bottle. For example, a 60ml bottle may contain only 50ml of e-liquid. This design gives users the flexibility to add nicotine salts or nicotine base solutions as needed and is suitable for users who wish to customize their nicotine content.

Advantages and disadvantages of short-filled e-liquids

Advantages: Flexibility, multiple capacity options, cost-effective, minimal setup required.

Disadvantages: Small customization space, occupy a larger space.

What Is a Longfill E-Liquid?

A Long Fill is when the bottle is filled with an e-liquid containing nicotine, usually in a small volume. This type of fume generally does not require additional ingredients and is suitable for direct use. Although it is not as common as short fill, this does not mean that it is less cost-effective. In fact, they can provide you with better value.

Similar to the short fill, the long fill is usually packed in a 60-120 ml bottle. However, they contain only 30 ml of PG-based flavoring, rather than a fully refined nicotine-free e-liquid.

DesonVape gives you the flexibility to mix your ideal e-liquid, allowing you to add custom ratios of VG, PG and nicotine as needed. With our handy mixing calculator, you can easily calculate the amount of each ingredient you need to add to meet different strength and proportion requirements.

Overall, long fills give you more room to add the ingredients you need, giving you more control over your e-cigarette experience while also saving you a significant amount of money. That's the fun of it!

Advantages and disadvantages of long filled e-liquids

Advantages: Convenient and fast, suitable for novices, allowing full customization of e-liquids

Disadvantages: Nicotine concentration is fixed, setup is more time-consuming, and some DIY e-cigarette knowledge is required
