Nic Shots by the Box
Nic shots do one job: they turn a nicotine-free shortfill into a vape at the strength a customer wants. Each 10ml booster carries 18mg of nicotine, ships as an outer of 10, and costs pennies to attach to a much bigger bottle sale. The range here is deliberately short at 11 lines, because a shop does not need forty of these. It needs the right two or three.
The attach maths is fixed. A 100ml shortfill takes two 18mg shots to land at 3mg; a 50ml takes one. So for every shortfill through the till, one or two of these follow, which is why the shots belong on the same shelf as the e-liquid range rather than tucked behind the counter. There is no minimum order, so a single box is fine to start.

Which shots to actually stock
Match the shot to the bottle. A 50/50 booster like the Nic Up 50/50 suits mouth-to-lung mixes, while a high-VG option, the Nic Up 70/30 or a 100% VG shot, keeps a 70/30 shortfill on ratio for sub ohm use. A nic-salt shot is the one specialist line worth a box, for a smoother throat hit in a made-up bottle. Beyond those three profiles, extra lines here just gather dust.
When you can skip nic shots entirely
No shortfills on the shelf means no need for nic shots. They exist only to nicotine a big 0mg bottle, so a counter running on disposables, prefilled pods and pre-mixed nic salts never reaches for one. Stock shots in proportion to the shortfills they serve, roughly two boxes of shots per popular shortfill line, and reorder them together. The vape supplier guide covers how trade box pricing and BACS payment work if you are ordering for the first time.
Frequently asked questions
How many nic shots does a 100ml shortfill need?+
Two. A 100ml shortfill takes two 18mg nic shots to reach 3mg, and a 50ml shortfill takes one. Each shot is 10ml and every line here ships as a box of 10.
What strength are your nic shots?+
18mg per 10ml, the standard UK booster strength. They come in 50/50, 70/30 and 100% VG ratios, plus a nic-salt version, so you can match the shot to the shortfill VG.
Do I need to stock nic shots if I sell shortfills?+
Yes. A shortfill ships at 0mg, so the customer cannot use it without a shot. Racking the two together protects the sale and lifts the average basket.
