All your vape needs
Premium nicotine shots at competitive trade prices. TPD compliant 18mg nic shots for shortfills from trusted UK brands with fast delivery.
Welcome to DATT Vape Distro’s comprehensive collection of nicotine shots, the essential companion product for shortfill e-liquids. As one of the UK’s leading wholesale distributors, we supply vape shops, convenience stores, and online retailers with quality nic shots from trusted manufacturers at competitive trade prices.
Nicotine shots are small bottles of concentrated nicotine designed to be added to larger, nicotine-free shortfill e-liquids. This system allows vapers to create their preferred nicotine strength whilst purchasing e-liquid in economical larger bottles. As shortfills have grown in popularity, nic shots have become an indispensable product category that every vape retailer needs to stock.
At DATT Vape Distro, we stock nicotine shots from reputable UK manufacturers who use pharmaceutical-grade nicotine and maintain strict quality control. Every nic shot in our wholesale catalogue is fully TPD compliant, properly labelled, and ready for legal retail sale. Whether your customers need unflavoured shots or salt nicotine options, our range has you covered.
Nicotine shots are a must-stock product for any retailer selling shortfill e-liquids. When a customer purchases a shortfill, they almost always need nic shots to add nicotine – making this a guaranteed add-on sale. Failing to stock nic shots means either losing the shortfill sale entirely or sending customers elsewhere to complete their purchase.
Here’s why successful retailers always keep nicotine shots well-stocked:
| Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Add-On Sales | Every shortfill purchase requires nic shots – customers buying shortfills will always need them |
| High Profit Margins | Nicotine shots offer excellent retail margins, particularly when purchased at wholesale volumes |
| Compact Storage | Small 10ml bottles take minimal shelf and storage space whilst generating consistent sales |
| Repeat Purchase Item | Shortfill vapers return regularly for both e-liquid and nic shots, creating ongoing revenue |
| Essential Product | Customers can’t use shortfills without nic shots – it’s not a discretionary purchase |
| Increased Basket Value | Multiple nic shots per shortfill purchase boosts average transaction values significantly |
DATT Vape Distro stocks a comprehensive range of nicotine shots from trusted UK manufacturers. Our selection includes unflavoured freebase nic shots in the standard 18mg/ml concentration, as well as nicotine salt options for customers who prefer smoother throat hit in their mixed e-liquids. We maintain strong inventory levels to ensure you never run short of this essential product.
Our wholesale nicotine shots come in various PG/VG ratios to match different shortfill formulations. Whether your customers use high-VG shortfills for sub-ohm vaping or balanced blends for all-round performance, we have compatible nic shots that won’t alter their preferred e-liquid consistency. This attention to detail helps your customers achieve optimal results.
Quality is critical with nicotine shots. All products we supply use pharmaceutical-grade nicotine manufactured in proper facilities with strict quality control processes. Every bottle is fully TPD compliant with required health warnings, ingredient listings, childproof caps, and tamper-evident seals. Your customers receive safe, consistent products they can trust.
Understanding the different nicotine shot options helps you serve customers effectively:
| Type | Characteristics & Best For |
|---|---|
| 18mg Freebase Nic Shots | Standard unflavoured nicotine shots – the most popular option for adding nicotine to shortfills |
| 20mg Nic Salt Shots | Nicotine salt formula for smoother throat hit – ideal for customers who find freebase too harsh |
| 70VG/30PG Nic Shots | High-VG formula designed for use with high-VG shortfills – maintains thick consistency |
| 50VG/50PG Nic Shots | Balanced formula that works with most shortfill ratios – versatile all-round option |
| 100VG Nic Shots | Pure VG base for maximum cloud production – suits max-VG shortfills and PG-sensitive users |
We recommend stocking a variety of nicotine shot types to match the shortfill range you carry. Our trade team can advise on the most popular options and help you build an optimised inventory.
Understanding how nicotine shots work helps you guide customers to purchase the right quantity. Shortfill bottles are deliberately underfilled to leave space for adding nic shots. A typical 50ml shortfill in a 60ml bottle has room for one 10ml nic shot, whilst a 100ml shortfill in a 120ml bottle accommodates two shots.
When an 18mg nicotine shot is added to a 50ml shortfill, the resulting 60ml of e-liquid contains approximately 3mg/ml nicotine – the most popular strength for sub-ohm vaping. Adding two shots to a 100ml shortfill also creates 3mg/ml strength. Customers wanting 6mg need to add two shots to a 50ml shortfill, though this slightly exceeds the bottle capacity and requires careful handling.
Helping customers understand these calculations builds trust and ensures satisfaction. Many retailers display simple conversion charts near their shortfill and nicotine shots displays. We can provide guidance on creating effective point-of-sale materials that help customers make informed purchasing decisions.
Your nic shot supplier impacts both customer satisfaction and your profit margins. Here’s why hundreds of UK retailers trust DATT Vape Distro for their nicotine shots supply:
Whether you operate a specialist vape shop, convenience store, or online business, DATT Vape Distro provides the reliable nicotine shots wholesale service your business needs.
Regulatory compliance is essential when selling nicotine shots in the United Kingdom. The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) establishes strict requirements for nicotine-containing products including maximum bottle sizes, nicotine concentration limits, and packaging standards. At DATT Vape Distro, compliance is fundamental – every nic shot in our catalogue meets all applicable UK regulations.
All nicotine shots we supply comply with TPD requirements including maximum 10ml bottle size, maximum 20mg/ml nicotine strength, required health warnings, ingredient listings, childproof caps, and tamper-evident packaging. Products have been properly notified to the MHRA before being made available for retail sale in the UK market.
We monitor regulatory developments affecting the vaping market and ensure our nicotine shots catalogue remains compliant with current requirements. By sourcing from DATT Vape Distro, you can sell with confidence knowing every product meets its legal obligations.
Proper storage of nicotine shots maintains product quality and extends shelf life. Nicotine can degrade when exposed to heat, light, and air, potentially affecting both strength and throat hit. Following proper storage guidelines ensures your customers receive products in optimal condition.
Store nicotine shots in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Room temperature storage is generally suitable for retail environments, but avoid placing stock near windows, radiators, or heat-generating equipment. Keep bottles upright and sealed until sale, and maintain proper stock rotation to ensure older inventory sells first.
We maintain careful stock rotation in our warehouse to ensure you receive nicotine shots with maximum remaining shelf life. This attention to freshness means your customers consistently receive quality products that perform as expected.
Nicotine shots are small bottles of concentrated nicotine designed to be added to shortfill e-liquids. Shortfills are larger bottles (typically 50ml or 100ml) containing nicotine-free e-liquid with space left for adding nic shots. This allows vapers to create their preferred nicotine strength whilst buying e-liquid in economical larger quantities. One 18mg nic shot added to a 50ml shortfill creates approximately 3mg/ml nicotine strength.
Nicotine shots are available in 18mg/ml (freebase) and 20mg/ml (nicotine salt) strengths – the maximum concentrations permitted under UK TPD regulations. These concentrated formulas are designed specifically for mixing with shortfills. The 18mg/ml strength is most common, whilst 20mg salt nic shots provide smoother throat hit in the finished e-liquid for customers who prefer gentler nicotine delivery.
Yes, every nicotine shot sold by DATT Vape Distro is fully TPD compliant and legal for retail sale in the United Kingdom. Products meet all regulatory requirements including maximum 10ml bottle size, maximum 20mg/ml nicotine strength, required health warnings, ingredient labelling, and childproof packaging. We source exclusively from manufacturers with proper MHRA notifications.
Freebase nicotine shots use traditional pure nicotine, delivering noticeable throat hit in the finished e-liquid. Nicotine salt shots use a modified nicotine compound that provides smoother throat sensation. Some customers prefer salt nic shots because they create gentler mixed e-liquids, whilst others prefer the satisfaction of freebase throat hit. Stocking both options serves all customer preferences.
The number depends on shortfill size and desired nicotine strength. For 3mg/ml final strength: one nic shot for 50ml shortfills, two shots for 100ml shortfills. For 6mg/ml strength: two shots for 50ml shortfills (though this exceeds bottle capacity slightly). Most sub-ohm vapers prefer 3mg/ml, making one-shot-per-50ml the most common purchase pattern. Display this information clearly to help customers buy correctly.
DATT Vape Distro offers flexible minimum order quantities to suit retailers of all sizes. Nicotine shots are typically purchased in larger quantities given their essential nature and high turnover. Volume discounts are available for bulk orders, significantly improving your per-unit margins. Register for a trade account to access our complete pricing structure and MOQ details.
Running out of nicotine shots means losing shortfill sales entirely. We prioritise fast fulfilment – orders placed before our daily cut-off time are typically dispatched the same business day from our UK distribution centre. We partner with reliable courier services for secure delivery, with next-day options available for most UK mainland addresses. This rapid turnaround keeps your essential nic shot stock replenished.
We stock nicotine shots in various PG/VG ratios including 50/50, 70VG/30PG, and 100VG options. The ratio should ideally match or complement the shortfill being used. High-VG nic shots suit high-VG shortfills to maintain thick consistency, whilst 50/50 shots work well with most formulations. Offering multiple ratios ensures you can serve customers using different types of shortfill e-liquids.
