How Do You Add Nic Shots to a 100ml Shortfill?
A step by step mixing guide for the 100ml format, covering both nic shots, shake time and how to adjust the finished strength.
The short answer
Adding nic shots to an Imp Jar 100ml shortfill works exactly like the 50ml version, just with two nic shots instead of one. Pour both 10ml shots into the bottle, reseal it, shake thoroughly and you have 120ml of finished e-liquid ready to vape.

What you need before you start
You need one 100ml Imp Jar shortfill bottle and two 10ml nic shots at your preferred strength, usually 18mg or 20mg. Work over a clean dry surface in case of small spills and have a paper towel nearby to wipe the nozzle afterwards.
Step by step instructions
- Remove the cap from the 120ml shortfill bottle and gently lift the nozzle insert.
- Unscrew the cap from your first 10ml nic shot and pour the entire contents into the shortfill bottle.
- Repeat with the second nic shot if you want a full 3mg strength.
- Press the nozzle insert back into place and screw the cap on firmly.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 to 40 seconds, slightly longer than a 50ml bottle given the larger volume.
- Leave the bottle to settle for a few minutes before your first fill, so any air bubbles clear.
Adjusting the strength
| Nic shots added | Resulting strength in 120ml |
|---|---|
| One 18mg nic shot | Approximately 1.5mg |
| Two 18mg nic shots | Approximately 3mg |
| Two 20mg nic salt shots | Approximately 3.3mg |
If you only want a milder strength, you can add a single nic shot rather than two, leaving the remaining 10ml of headroom in the bottle unused.
Common questions about mixing a 100ml bottle
Do I need to shake it for longer than a 50ml bottle?
A slightly longer shake helps given the larger volume, around 30 to 40 seconds is generally enough to combine everything evenly.
Can I add the two nic shots at different times?
It is best to add both shots in one sitting and shake together, rather than topping up later, to keep the nicotine evenly distributed throughout the bottle.
What if I only have one nic shot to hand?
You can add a single shot for a milder strength and top up with the second later, just give the bottle another thorough shake once the second shot goes in.
