Bar Vape Shortfills
Bar Vape Shortfills are 100ml nicotine free e-liquids built to carry the sweet, high impact flavour profiles that bar style vaping made popular. This collection holds 16 bottles from the range, with prices opening at £7.99. Because they contain no nicotine when sold, they are exempt from the 10ml bottle limit that applies to nicotine e-liquid in the UK.
Each bottle is filled to 100ml and left short of the neck so you can add nicotine yourself. That headroom is the whole point of the format. It is what allows a 100ml volume to be sold legally in one bottle rather than as ten separate 10ml units.
How a shortfill and nicotine shot work together
A 100ml shortfill is normally supplied in a 120ml bottle. Adding two 10ml nicotine shots at 18mg per ml fills the bottle to 120ml and produces a finished strength of 3mg per ml. Adding a single shot gives roughly 1.6mg per ml in 110ml of liquid. Leave the shots out entirely and you have 100ml of nicotine free e-liquid, which suits vapers who have already stepped their strength down to zero.
The Bar Vape flavour range
The range leans heavily on sweets, sour fruits and iced blends. Gummy Bear and Rainbow Fruits sit in the confectionery camp. Sour Blue Raspberry, Fizzy Cherry and Blue Razz Lemonade bring the sharp edge that bar style liquids are known for. Mad Melons, Strawberry Kiwi, Blueberry Kiwi and Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava cover the softer fruit blends. Banana Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice add koolada for a cold finish. Creamy Tobacco is the outlier for anyone who wants something closer to a traditional profile.
Sweetened liquids of this type are hard on coils. The sucralose used to lift the flavour caramelises on the wire, so plan on changing coils more often than you would with a plain menthol.
Which devices suit these shortfills
High VG shortfills are made for sub ohm hardware. Coils rated below 1.0 ohm with open airflow will get the most out of these blends on a direct to lung draw. A restricted DTL pod running a 0.6 ohm to 0.8 ohm coil is the middle ground and works well at moderate wattage. Tight mouth to lung coils above 1.0 ohm struggle to wick a thick VG base and will dry burn, so a 50/50 nic salt is the better match for those devices.
Mixing, shaking and steeping
Add the shots, cap the bottle then shake hard for a couple of minutes until the liquid looks uniform. Most fruit and sweet blends are ready straight away. The creamier profiles benefit from a few days standing in a cool dark cupboard, which lets the flavour concentrates settle into the base. Never dose above 20mg per ml in the finished bottle. That is the legal ceiling in the UK.
UK rules that apply to this range
Nicotine containing e-liquid is capped at 20mg per ml and bottles containing nicotine cannot exceed 10ml. Tanks sold with nicotine liquid are limited to 2ml. Shortfills sit outside those bottle limits precisely because they carry no nicotine at the point of sale, although the nicotine shot you add is a notified product in its own right. All of it is sold to adults aged 18 and over only. UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and the team can be reached on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
Bar Vape shortfill questions answered
What is a shortfill e-liquid?
A shortfill is a larger bottle of nicotine free e-liquid that is deliberately underfilled. A 100ml Bar Vape shortfill arrives in a bottle with room left at the top so you can add nicotine shots yourself. UK law caps nicotine bottles at 10ml, so selling the liquid nicotine free is what allows a 100ml volume in a single bottle.
How many nicotine shots does a 100ml Bar Vape shortfill need?
Two 10ml shots at 18mg per ml take the bottle to 120ml and give a finished strength of 3mg per ml. One shot gives about 1.6mg per ml. If you want zero nicotine, simply vape the shortfill as it comes. Never take the finished liquid above 20mg per ml because that is the UK legal maximum.
Do Bar Vape shortfills contain nicotine?
No. They are sold nicotine free. Any nicotine in the finished bottle is what you add yourself using a separate nicotine shot. This is why the range can be sold in 100ml bottles rather than the 10ml units that nicotine e-liquid is restricted to.
What device should I use with these shortfills?
Sub ohm hardware. Coils below 1.0 ohm with reasonably open airflow suit a high VG base and a direct to lung draw. Restricted DTL pods running 0.6 ohm to 0.8 ohm coils also work well. Tight mouth to lung coils above 1.0 ohm cannot wick a thick liquid quickly enough and are likely to taste burnt.
Do these shortfills need steeping?
Most do not. Fruit and sweet blends are ready as soon as the nicotine shots are mixed in and the bottle has been shaken thoroughly. Creamier profiles such as Creamy Tobacco tend to round out after a few days standing in a cool dark place, so give those a little time if the flavour seems flat at first.
Are these the same as the bar devices that were banned?
No. Single use vapes were prohibited from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025. Bar Vape Shortfills are bottles of e-liquid, not devices. The name refers to the flavour style rather than the format, so you use them in a refillable tank or pod on a rechargeable kit.
