Just Juice shortfills: full UK 2026 review

Format basics

Just Juice shortfills follow the standard UK nic shot system that lets sub-ohm vapers buy larger volumes of e-liquid at TPD compliant pricing. 50ml shortfill format: 50ml of 0mg e-liquid sits inside a 60ml bottle, leaving 10ml empty space for one 18mg or 20mg nic shot; final mix 60ml at approximately 3mg strength; ideal everyday format. 100ml shortfill format: 100ml of 0mg e-liquid in 120ml bottle, 20ml space for two nic shots; final mix 120ml at approximately 3mg strength; better per-ml value than 50ml. VG/PG ratio: 70% VG / 30% PG across all Just Juice shortfills; standard sub-ohm shortfill ratio; thicker liquid produces denser vapour; smoother on throat at higher wattages. Why this format: UK TPD limits nicotine e-liquid to 10ml maximum bottle size; shortfill workaround sells 0mg base separately from nic shot; allows larger volume purchases; better value per ml than 10ml nic salts. Adding nic shot: pour nic shot into shortfill bottle, replace cap, shake vigorously 1-2 minutes, leave to steep 24-48 hours for optimal flavour, shake before each tank refill.
