Can You Use Imp Jar 100ml Shortfills in a Pod Kit?
Why the 100ml format is just as pod kit friendly as the 50ml bottle and how to check your device is the right match for a 50/50 ratio.
The short answer
Yes. Imp Jar 100ml shortfills are blended at a 50% VG and 50% PG ratio specifically so they work well in pod kits and other MTL devices, unlike many 100ml shortfills on the market which default to a thicker 70/30 VG/PG mix built for sub-ohm tanks.

Why the ratio matters more than the size
It is a common assumption that 100ml shortfills are only for sub-ohm devices, since most large format shortfills on the market are blended thick and high VG. That assumption does not hold for Imp Jar, which keeps the same 50/50 ratio across both the 50ml and 100ml formats. The bottle size has no bearing on whether a liquid suits a pod kit, the VG and PG ratio does.
What coil resistance to look for
Pod kits and MTL tanks with coils above roughly 0.7 ohm or devices running below about 35W are the natural home for a 50/50 blend like Imp Jar's. Sub-ohm coils below that resistance are built around thicker liquid and are not the intended match.
Pod kit compatibility at a glance
| Device type | Typical coil resistance | Suited to Imp Jar 100ml? |
|---|---|---|
| Refillable pod kit | 0.7 to 1.2 ohm | Yes, ideal match |
| MTL starter tank | 1.0 ohm and above | Yes, ideal match |
| Sub-ohm tank | 0.15 to 0.5 ohm | Not recommended, choose a higher VG liquid instead |
Common questions about pod kit use
Will a 100ml bottle wick the same as a 50ml bottle in my pod?
Yes, the formulation is identical between the two sizes, only the volume and number of nic shots required change.
What if my pod feels like it is leaking or flooding?
This is more likely caused by a mismatched coil resistance or airflow setting than the liquid itself, check your coil is rated for 50/50 e-liquid.
Can I use it in a low wattage starter kit?
Yes, low wattage MTL starter kits are one of the best matches for a 50/50 shortfill like Imp Jar 100ml.
