How Long Does a 50ml Shortfill Last?
A realistic breakdown of how far a single Imp Jar 50ml shortfill stretches, based on vaping frequency, device wattage and draw style.
The short answer
Most moderate vapers get somewhere between one and two weeks out of a single Imp Jar 50ml shortfill once mixed with a nic shot, though this varies a great deal depending on how often you vape, the length of your draws and your device. Lighter users can stretch a bottle to three weeks or more, while heavier users may go through one in under a week.

What actually determines how long a bottle lasts
The biggest factor is simply how much you vape day to day but device wattage, draw length and even the strength of your mix all play a part. A 50/50 Imp Jar shortfill used in a low powered pod kit tends to be sipped through more slowly than the same liquid run in a higher powered tank, since lower wattage devices vaporise less liquid per puff.
A rough puff count guide
As a general rule of thumb, a 10ml bottle of e-liquid produces somewhere in the region of 3,000 puffs depending on draw length and device. Scaling that up, a mixed 60ml Imp Jar shortfill can theoretically provide somewhere in the range of 15,000 to 18,000 puffs, though in practice most vapers will not hit the very top of that range due to longer draws and more frequent use than the baseline assumes.
Typical usage scenarios
| Vaping style | Approximate daily use | Bottle lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Light, occasional vaper | Under 2ml a day | 3 weeks or more |
| Moderate, regular vaper | 3 to 5ml a day | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Heavy, all day vaper | 6ml a day or more | Under 1 week |
Common questions about how long a bottle lasts
Does the liquid go off if it lasts longer than expected?
Once mixed, e-liquid keeps for several months to around a year if the cap is kept on tightly and the bottle is stored somewhere cool and dark, away from direct sunlight.
Will a stronger nic shot make the bottle last longer?
Not directly. A higher strength may reduce how often you reach for your device since cravings are satisfied more quickly but the physical volume of liquid in the bottle stays the same regardless of strength.
Does device wattage change how long a bottle lasts?
Yes. Higher wattage devices vaporise more liquid per puff, so a bottle used in a low powered pod kit will generally last longer than the same bottle used in a more powerful setup.
