What Are IVG Shortfills?
IVG shortfills are larger-format e-liquids supplied without nicotine, giving you flexibility over the nicotine strength of the finished e-liquid. Unlike standard 10ml nicotine e-liquids, shortfills contain additional space in the bottle so nicotine shots can be added if required.
The IVG Shortfill collection focuses on 70/30 PG/VG e-liquids, making the range particularly relevant to vapers using compatible higher-powered devices and tanks. Always check your device manufacturer's recommended e-liquid specifications before use.
Each flavour has its own product listing, so check the individual product page for the exact bottle size, ingredients, nicotine-shot compatibility and other specifications before purchasing.
IVG 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquids
The IVG Shortfill range includes a selection of 70/30 e-liquids built around recognisable IVG flavour profiles.
Current flavours in the collection include:
- Vanilla Biscuit – a sweet dessert-style profile
- Summer Blaze – a fruit-focused blend
- Strawberry Watermelon – a combination of strawberry and watermelon
- Strawberry Sensation – a strawberry-led flavour
- Riberry Lemonade – a berry and lemonade combination
- Rainbow Blast – a mixed sweet/fruity profile
- Frozen Cherries – a cherry flavour with an icy profile
- Bubblegum – a classic sweet profile
- Blue Raspberry Ice – blue raspberry with an icy character
This gives shoppers a useful way to browse the collection by flavour rather than simply presenting a product grid.
What Does 70/30 PG/VG Mean?
The 70/30 PG/VG ratio refers to the balance of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) in the e-liquid.
With 70% VG and 30% PG, these shortfills have a higher VG content than a traditional 50/50 e-liquid.
VG contributes to vapour production and gives the liquid a thicker consistency, while PG is commonly associated with flavour carrying and a more noticeable throat sensation.
Because higher-VG e-liquids are thicker, they are generally intended for devices and tanks designed to handle them. Check your device specifications before using a 70/30 shortfill.
Shortfills and Nicotine Shots
IVG shortfills are supplied without nicotine. The additional space in the bottle allows nicotine shots to be added when required.
For example, a larger shortfill bottle may contain e-liquid with enough empty space to accommodate a nicotine shot. The resulting nicotine concentration depends on the volume of e-liquid, the amount and strength of the nicotine shot, and the final combined volume.
Do not assume every shortfill uses the same bottle size or nicotine-shot requirement. Check the individual IVG product listing before mixing.
If you do not want nicotine, the shortfill can be used as supplied where compatible with your device.
Shortfills vs 50/50 E-Liquid
The main difference is the PG/VG ratio and the type of setup each formulation is generally suited to.
| Feature | IVG 70/30 Shortfills | IVG 50/50 E-Liquids |
|---|---|---|
| PG/VG | 70% VG / 30% PG | 50% PG / 50% VG |
| Nicotine | Supplied at 0mg | Available according to product |
| Format | Larger shortfill bottles | Standard e-liquid bottles |
| Typical use | Compatible higher-powered setups | Pod devices and MTL setups |
| Vapour | Higher-VG formulation | More balanced |
| Nicotine shots | Space may be available | Not normally required |
The right choice depends on your device, preferred vaping style and desired nicotine strength.
What Devices Are IVG Shortfills Suitable For?
70/30 shortfills are generally associated with higher-powered vape kits and sub-ohm tanks, where the device is designed to work with higher-VG e-liquids.
They may not be the best choice for every pod system.
Before purchasing, check:
- The recommended PG/VG ratio for your device.
- Whether your tank or pod is designed for thicker e-liquids.
- The coil resistance and recommended wattage.
- Whether you require nicotine in your e-liquid.
- The bottle size and nicotine-shot requirements of the particular shortfill.
Choosing an IVG Shortfill Flavour
The collection covers several different flavour families, so choosing by profile can make browsing easier.
Fruit Flavours
For fruit-led profiles, the range includes flavours such as Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Sensation, Rainbow Blast and Riberry Lemonade.
These are suitable options if you prefer fruit combinations rather than dessert-style flavours.
Ice & Cool Flavours
If you prefer a cooler flavour profile, options such as Blue Raspberry Ice and Frozen Cherries provide an icy direction.
Sweet & Dessert Flavours
For sweeter profiles, Vanilla Biscuit and Bubblegum offer alternatives to fruit-focused shortfills.
Mixed Flavours
Some IVG flavours combine multiple flavour characteristics, giving you options if you prefer more complex profiles rather than a single fruit.
Why Choose IVG Shortfills?
The IVG Shortfill collection gives you several practical options in one range:
- 70/30 PG/VG formulations
- Nicotine-free shortfill format
- Space for nicotine shots where applicable
- Multiple flavour profiles
- Fruit, ice, sweet and mixed options
- Larger-format e-liquid compared with standard 10ml bottles
- Individual product specifications for each flavour
Most importantly, choose the shortfill based on the device you use and the specifications of the individual product, rather than choosing purely by flavour.
How To Use a Shortfill
Using a shortfill is straightforward, but the exact process depends on whether you intend to use nicotine.
1. Check the bottle
Confirm the bottle size, e-liquid ratio and nicotine information on the product label.
2. Decide whether you want nicotine
Shortfills are supplied without nicotine. If you want to add nicotine, make sure the nicotine shot is suitable for the particular bottle and intended final strength.
3. Add the nicotine shot if required
Add the appropriate amount of nicotine shot according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Replace the cap
Secure the bottle and shake thoroughly so the contents are evenly mixed.
5. Fill your compatible device
Fill your tank or pod according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Check your coil
Allow a newly installed coil to saturate properly before vaping to avoid damaging the coil.
How Do I Choose the Right Shortfill?
Start with device compatibility.
If your device is designed for higher-VG e-liquids, a 70/30 shortfill may be appropriate. If you use a smaller pod system designed around thinner 50/50 e-liquids, a different formulation may be more suitable.
Then consider:
- Flavour: Choose between fruit, ice, sweet, dessert and mixed profiles.
- Nicotine: Shortfills are supplied without nicotine, so consider whether you need to add a nicotine shot.
- Bottle size: Check the exact volume supplied with the individual product.
- PG/VG ratio: The IVG shortfills in this collection are 70/30 products, but always confirm the specification on the individual listing.
How Should IVG Shortfills Be Stored?
Keep e-liquid bottles securely closed when not in use.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep e-liquids away from children and pets.
If nicotine shots are being used, handle them carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions on storage and use.
