Longfills - A Simplified Guide
A Simplified Guide to Longfill E-Liquids
Longfill e-liquids are a growing trend in the UK, offering an affordable and customisable option for vapers. Here's an overview of what they are, how they work, and why they’re worth considering.
What Are Longfill E-Liquids?
Longfills are partially filled bottles of e-liquid concentrate, leaving room for you to add a base mixture and nicotine (if you choose to have any). Typically, a 60ml bottle can contain 10ml, 20ml or 30ml of flavour concentrate. Once the base and nicotine are added, you get a complete e-liquid tailored to your preferences.
This DIY approach lets you control the nicotine strength and VG/PG ratio. Most standard longfills often require precise calculations, which can be intimidating for beginners, so we've set up our longfills as handy kits to get you started. Simply select the nicotine type, strength, and VG/PG ratio of your choice on the product page, and we'll send you all the right ingredients to mix your perfect e-liquid with ease.
How do I choose which strength and VG/PG ratio I need?
We recommend 50/50 or Nic Salts for most MTL Devices and Pod Kits or for any coils that are higher than 0.4 Ohm.
For coils that are lower than 0.4 Ohm, we recommend a higher VG Ratio, such as 70/30.
How to Use Longfills
Longfill liquids are not designed to be vaped as is, that would be like drinking undiluted squash! Luckily, setting up your longfill is very simple.
Add the provided 10ml shots and the base mixture to the 60ml bottle.
Shake for a few minutes to mix thoroughly.
Optionally, you can let the e-liquid steep for a few days in a cool, dark place to enhance flavour.
Longfills vs. Shortfills
Shortfills are ready to use out of the bottle at 0mg. Most come in 50ml or 100ml sizes, leaving room for 1 or 2 ‘Nic Shots’ respectively. These liquids are generally a higher VG ratio, and are only designed to mix up to a maximum of 3mg. This does make them ideal for sub-ohm vapers seeking ready-made options. Longfills are better suited to Pod and MTL kits, or those who prefer more control over the final blend and strength.
- Shortfills: Pre-mixed e-liquids with room for nicotine shots. Ready to vape without additional blending.
- Longfills: Contain only flavour concentrate, allowing complete control over the final blend. More cost effective than buying 10ml bottles.
In Summary
Longfill e-liquids are an affordable and customisable option for vapers, offering full control over nicotine strength, VG/PG ratio, and flavour. These partially filled bottles contain concentrated e-liquid, with room for you to add base mixtures and nicotine shots. Designed for flexibility, longfills cater to both MTL and sub-ohm vaping preferences, making them a versatile choice. Unlike shortfills, which are ready to use with limited customisation, longfills require mixing but provide greater value and personalisation. With handy kits available, even beginners can easily create their perfect e-liquid blend.
