Nicotine Shots FAQ's

• What are Nicotine Shot E Liquids?

  Nicotine shot e-liquids, often referred to as nic-shots, are concentrated nicotine solutions specifically crafted to be added to nicotine-free shortfill bottles. This allows you to tailor the nicotine content to suit your personal preference. They come in small 10ml bottles, making them easy to mix into larger bottles of shortfill e-liquid. These shots are perfect for vapers who want customisability in their nicotine levels without buying multiple e-liquid strengths.

  Designed to provide flexibility in your vaping experience, our nic-shots allow you to adjust the nicotine content of your favourite shortfill e-liquids. Our extensive range ensures you have control over your nicotine intake without compromising on flavour or quality.

• How Do I Use a Nicotine Shot with Shortfill E Liquids?

  To use a nicotine shot, start by determining your desired nicotine strength. For a common 10ml shortfill bottle, you add 2 x 10ml nic shot of either 18mg or 20mg nicotine to produce an e-liquid with approximately 3mg of nicotine. If you prefer a stronger vape, adding 2 x 10ml shots will give you around 6mg of nicotine. After adding the nic shots, seal the bottle tightly and shake vigorously to ensure even distribution of nicotine throughout the liquid. This mixing process ensures a consistent vaping experience from start to finish.

• What is the Purpose of Using Nicotine Shots?

  The primary purpose of nicotine shots is to offer vapers the ability to customise their nicotine intake. This is particularly useful for those transitioning from smoking to vaping, as it allows for gradual reduction of nicotine levels. Additionally, nic-shots provide a cost-effective way to experiment with different nicotine strengths without purchasing multiple bottles of e-liquid in varying strengths. They offer flexibility and convenience, enabling vapers to find their optimal nicotine balance. Ice nicotine shots are now also available allowing your to top up your nicotine content as well as all a cooling taste sensation to your e liquid mixture.

• How to Work Out the Right Nic Shot Ratio?

  Calculating the right nic shot ratio can seem daunting at first, but it’s quite straightforward. For a 50ml shortfill, adding 10ml of an 18mg nic shot will result in a final nicotine concentration of approximately 3mg. If you add two shots, you double the nicotine content, making it around 6mg. Understanding the ratio helps in tailoring your vaping experience, ensuring you achieve the desired nicotine hit without overconsumption.

  

• Are Nicotine Shots Suitable for All E Liquids?

  Nicotine shots are versatile and primarily designed for use with shortfill e-liquids. However, they can also be added to other nicotine-free e-liquids provided that the base blend (PG/VG ratio) is compatible. It’s important to ensure that the e-liquid you’re adding them to is formulated to accommodate additional volume and that the final mixture suits your device’s requirements.

• Can I Customise the Nicotine Strength with Shots?

  One of the greatest benefits of using nic-shots is the ability to customise your nicotine strength. By adjusting the number of shots added to your shortfill e-liquid, you can easily control the nicotine level. This is ideal for vapers wanting to fine-tune their nicotine intake over time, either gradually reducing or maintaining desired levels.

• What are the Available Nicotine Strengths in Shots?

  Nicotine shots are typically available in common strengths such as 18mg and 20mg. These options provide enough flexibility to achieve various end nicotine levels in your e-liquids. Vapers can choose the strength that best suits their personal preference and goals, whether they’re looking for a mild hint of nicotine or a more traditional, stronger sensation.

• Are Nicotine Shots Compatible with All Vaping Devices?

  Once mixed into your e-liquid, nicotine shots do not impact the device compatibility of the e-liquid provided you are using the right PG/VG ratio for your device. Whether it’s a starter vape kit or an advanced mod, It is always advisable to ensure the final mix is suitable for your vaping device. This is especially important in terms of viscosity, to ensure optimal performance without damaging the coil or other components.

• How Should I Store Nicotine Shots?

  Nicotine shots should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their potency and quality. Ensure that the bottles are sealed tightly to prevent air exposure, which can degrade the nicotine over time. Proper storage extends the shelf life of your nic shots and maintains their effectiveness.

• Are Nicotine Shots Safe to Use?

  Yes, nicotine shots are safe when used as directed. It’s important to handle them carefully, as nicotine is a potent substance. Always follow the instructions provided and ensure that the shots are kept out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or spillage.

• Do Nicotine Shots Affect the Flavour of My E Liquid?

  High-quality nic shots are designed to have minimal impact on the flavour of your e-liquid. However, the quality of the nicotine shot can affect taste. Choosing reputable nic shots, like those from Oh My God or Nic Nic, will ensure that the original flavour of your e-liquid remains consistent and enjoyable.

• Can I Mix Different Types of Nicotine Shots?

  Yes, you can experiment by mixing different types of nic shots, such as freebase and nic salt shots, to customise your vaping experience. Freebase nicotine provides a stronger throat hit, while nic salt offers a smoother experience. Mixing allows you to discover a blend that caters to your preferences.

• How Long Does a Nicotine Shot Last Once Added?

  Once a nic shot is added and mixed thoroughly into your e-liquid, the nicotine content should remain stable throughout the liquid’s use. This is, however, contingent on proper storage. Maintaining the mixture in ideal conditions will ensure it stays effective until the e-liquid is finished.

• Are Nicotine Shots Compliant with UK Regulations?

  All nicotine shot liquids sold by Go Smoke Free comply with UK regulations, including those set by the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). This ensures that our products meet stringent safety and quality standards, giving you peace of mind as you enjoy your vaping experience.

• What is the Difference Between Freebase Nicotine Shots and Nic Salt Shots?

  Freebase nicotine shots provide a more noticeable throat hit, which is similar to the experience of smoking traditional cigarettes. Nic salt shots, however, offer a smoother, more rapidly absorbed nicotine hit, making them suitable for those who prefer a less harsh vaping experience or use higher nicotine concentrations.

• Can I Add Multiple Nicotine Shots to a Single E Liquid Bottle?

  Yes, adding multiple nicotine shots to a single bottle is common when aiming for higher nicotine concentrations. Ensure you shake the bottle well to guarantee consistent nicotine distribution throughout the liquid. Proper mixing is essential for maintaining the quality of the vaping experience.
