Unlocking Flavor Freedom: The Rise of Long Fills in Vaping

The introduction of nicotine-free E-Liquids, commonly referred to as long fills, was a direct response to the regulatory changes imposed by SARS. These innovative bottles contain slightly less liquid than their size suggests; for example, a 60ml long fill bottle typically holds 50ml of liquid, while a 120ml bottle contains 100ml.

SARS has introduced a tax on all ready-to-use vape liquids, prompting the rise of long fills as a cost-saving solution.

To navigate around these recent tax changes, nicotine-free E-Liquids, also known as long fills, have surfaced. While remaining in accordance with tax regulations, they eliminate the costly taxes involved with  completed nicotine-containing products. Long fills have become increasingly popular by providing the opportunity for richer flavors and the freedom to control nicotine levels. Users can easily incorporate nicotine shots into their long fills to reach their preferred nicotine concentration, adjusting for the slightly smaller liquid volume in the bottles.

Advantages of Using Nicotine Shots and Long Fills:

1. Tailor-Made Blends: Customize your E-Liquid blend to suit your preferences.
2. Coil Longevity: Reduce the risk of burning your coils compared to thicker nic salts.
3. Compatibility: Long fills and nicotine shots are compatible with most devices.
4. Maximised Flavour: Nic shots are typically unflavoured, ensuring the full flavour of your long fill shines through.

Disadvantages:

• Limited Strengths: Nicotine shots may not offer high nicotine strengths compared to nicotine salts.

How to Mix Long Fills:

1. Ensure you are adding your nicotine shot to a 0mg/ml, nicotine-free E-Liquid.
2. Remove caps and nibs from both the long fill and nicotine shot.
3. Slowly squeeze the nicotine shot into the long fill, taking care to avoid spills.
4. Replace the nib and secure a tight seal, then shake thoroughly for a few minutes to ensure proper mixing.

DIY Nic shot guide:

24mg 10ml Nic shot + 80ml VG additive = 2mg 120ml
36mg 10ml Nic shot + 80ml VG additive = 3mg 120ml
60mg 10ml Nic shot + 80ml VG additive = 5mg 120ml
72mg 10ml Nic shot + 80ml VG additive = 6mg 120ml

When mixing, consider the E-Liquid volume and the VG/PG ratio. Different ranges can result in vastly different E-Liquids. For instance, a 50ml long fill is typically paired with 10ml nicotine shots to create a 60ml liquid with 3mg of nicotine. Adjust the nicotine shot according to your preferred throat hit and cloud production, considering the VG/PG ratio of your long fill.

Whether you prefer a higher VG ratio for larger clouds or a balanced experience with a 50/50 ratio, long fills and nicotine shots offer a versatile canvas for vapers to craft their perfect vaping experience.
