Future Juice Shortfills
Future Juice is a shortfill range built around dessert, bakery and cream profiles rather than the fruit and menthol blends that dominate most 100ml shelves. This collection holds 39 lines and every product verified in stock is a 100ml nicotine free shortfill priced at £9.99. That works out at roughly ten pence per millilitre before you add nicotine, which is a long way below what the same volume costs in 10ml bottles.
The range spans two labels sitting under the same vendor. Bottles badged Future Juice cover blends such as Butterscotch Custard, Raspberry Filled Doughnut and Lemon Cheesecake Deluxe. Bottles badged The Lancashire Creamery and The Lancashire ICE Creamery cover the dairy and bakery side, including Vanilla Shortbread, Raspberry Custard, Blueberry Muffin, Caramelised Biscuit, Vanilla Milkshake with Wafers and Looper Cereal with Milk. Both labels appear together in this collection because they share a vendor record on the store.
How a shortfill works
UK law limits any bottle containing nicotine to 10ml. A shortfill gets around that by containing no nicotine at all when you buy it. The bottle is a 120ml unit filled with 100ml of flavoured base, leaving 20ml of deliberate headroom at the neck. You buy nicotine shots separately and pour them into that gap.
Two 10ml shots at 18mg or 20mg fill the space and leave you with roughly 3mg per ml across 120ml of finished liquid. One shot gives around 1.5mg per ml and vaping the base as it comes gives you a nicotine free liquid. Because the shortfill itself contains no nicotine, it sits outside the 10ml bottle restriction entirely.
Mixing a bottle properly
Take the cap and the childproof insert off the shortfill. Pour the whole nicotine shot in, replace the cap and shake the bottle hard for at least two minutes. Shots are almost always 50/50 PG to VG, so they are thinner than the base and they need real agitation to disperse rather than sit on top. A cloudy bottle that clears after a few minutes standing is a sign it has mixed properly.
Dessert and custard blends benefit from steeping in a way that fruit blends do not. Leaving a freshly nicotined bottle in a dark cupboard for three to seven days lets the vanilla, caramel and bakery notes settle into each other. The difference on something like Butterscotch Custard or Vanilla Shortbread is noticeable rather than subtle.
The flavour range in detail
Custards and creams
Butterscotch Custard and Raspberry Custard are the two custard bases in stock. Custard is the flavour category that rewards steeping most, because the vanilla and egg notes need time to round out. Vanilla Milkshake with Wafers sits in the same territory with a lighter dairy body.
Bakery and biscuit
Vanilla Shortbread, Blueberry Muffin, Caramelised Biscuit and Raspberry Filled Doughnut make up the bakery side. These lean on browned butter, pastry and spice notes underneath the headline flavour, which is what stops them tasting like plain sweetness. Lemon Cheesecake Deluxe bridges bakery and cream with a sharper citrus top.
Cereal
Looper Cereal with Milk is the outlier and it works on the contrast between a sugary cereal note and a milky finish. Cereal blends divide opinion more than any other dessert category, so it is worth trying one bottle before committing to several.
What hardware to run them in
Shortfills of this size are high VG blends, commonly around 70/30 VG to PG. That thickness is deliberate. It suits sub ohm coils rated below 1.0 ohm with wide wicking ports and a direct to lung draw, which is where the vapour production and the flavour intensity come from. A sub ohm tank on a box mod or a high output pod kit is the right home for a Future Juice bottle.
What it is not suited to is a tight mouth to lung pod running a coil above 1.0 ohm. The liquid is too thick to wick through those narrow channels and the result is a dry hit within a few puffs. For an MTL pod kit, use a 10ml nicotine salt instead.
Running costs and storage
The economics are the main argument for shortfills. At £9.99 for 100ml plus two nicotine shots you are paying a fraction of the per millilitre cost of buying 10ml bottles, which matters because a sub ohm coil gets through liquid several times faster than an MTL one. Store bottles upright, tightly capped and out of sunlight. Dessert blends darken with age and that is oxidation of the sugars rather than a fault, though flavour does drift if a bottle is left open to light and heat for months.
Buying shortfills in the UK
Shortfills contain no nicotine when sold, so they are not subject to the 10ml bottle limit that applies to nicotine e-liquid. Nicotine shots themselves are capped at 20mg per ml and 10ml per bottle. Both must be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency where the regulations require it and both are sold to adults aged 18 and over only. Nicotine is addictive.
Delivery and support
UK delivery is free on orders over £20, which two 100ml bottles will clear. Orders placed on working days are dispatched quickly. To check stock on a specific flavour or to work out how many nicotine shots you need, call 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
Future Juice shortfills: what people ask
What is a shortfill and why is it nicotine free?
UK law limits any bottle containing nicotine to 10ml. A shortfill sidesteps that by containing no nicotine when sold, so a 100ml bottle is legal to buy. The 120ml bottle is filled to 100ml, leaving 20ml of headroom for you to add nicotine shots yourself if you want them. Vaped as it comes, a shortfill is a nicotine free e-liquid.
How many nicotine shots go in a Future Juice 100ml bottle?
Two 10ml shots at 18mg or 20mg will fill the headroom and give you roughly 3mg per ml across 120ml of finished liquid. One shot leaves you at about 1.5mg per ml with 10ml of space still free. Pour the shot in, cap the bottle and shake hard for at least two minutes so it disperses properly.
Do Future Juice shortfills need steeping?
Dessert, custard and bakery blends benefit from it more than any other category. Three to seven days in a dark cupboard after adding nicotine lets the vanilla, caramel and pastry notes settle together. Fruit and menthol blends need almost none. With a Butterscotch Custard or a Vanilla Shortbread the improvement is worth waiting for.
Why are some bottles labelled The Lancashire Creamery?
The Lancashire Creamery and The Lancashire ICE Creamery are sub-labels that sit under the same vendor record as Future Juice on this store, which is why they appear together in one collection. They cover the dairy and bakery end of the range while the Future Juice badge covers the custard, doughnut and cheesecake blends.
What device should I use with a 100ml shortfill?
A sub ohm tank or a high output pod kit running a coil rated below 1.0 ohm with a direct to lung draw. Shortfills are high VG blends of typically around 70/30 and that thickness needs the wide wicking ports of a sub ohm coil. In a tight mouth to lung pod the liquid cannot wick fast enough and you will get a dry hit.
Why has my bottle gone darker?
Dessert e-liquids darken over time as the sugars and vanillins oxidise. It is normal and it is not a sign the liquid has spoiled. Flavour does drift eventually, particularly if a bottle has been left in sunlight or somewhere warm, so store bottles upright, capped tightly and in a cool dark cupboard.
How much does a shortfill work out at per millilitre?
At £9.99 for 100ml the base alone is close to ten pence per millilitre before nicotine shots are added. That is considerably cheaper than buying the same volume in 10ml bottles, which is why shortfills are the standard choice for sub ohm vapers who get through liquid quickly.
