A Nicotine Shot: What Is It?
A nicotine shot is a 10ml flavorless e-liquid that is meant to be mixed with a shortfill to produce a bigger batch of e-liquid that contains nicotine. For instance, a 50ml shortfill will yield 60ml of 3mg e-liquid when an 18mg nic shot is added. They can be vaped on their own, but the only flavor you'll get from them will be the nicotine, which can taste a little peppery and not very pleasant. Since they are the only means to legally add nicotine to your homemade juices, they are also quite popular among the DIY mixing community.
What Are The Different Types Of Nicotine Shot?
You should think about the kind of nicotine in your shot in addition to its strength. The two most popular ones are nic salt and freebase. When freebase nic shots are added, the throat hit of the e-liquid becomes more pronounced. We advise getting a nic salt shot if you want an all-around smoother smoke. Nic salt not only delivers a smoother hit, but it also absorbs more swiftly, quelling appetites right away.
Can I use nicotine shots with any e-liquid?
The majority of e-liquids can be used with nicotine shots; however, since shortfills are nicotine-free and have more flavor concentration to counteract the nicotine shot's dilution, using them with shortfills is advised.
How do I use nicotine shots?
Add your chosen nicotine shot to a larger bottle of e-liquid, such as a shortfill, which has extra space to fit the nicotine shot. The ratio of nicotine shot to e-liquid will depend on the desired nicotine strength. For example, if you want to make a 3mg e-liquid from a 50ml bottle, you would add one 10ml 18mg nicotine shot.
