IVG 100ml shortfill e-liquid - also searched as IVG vape juice, IVG vape liquid or IVG liquid - is a 70/30 VG/PG vape juice sold as a 100ml bottle with 0mg nicotine, built for sub-ohm and direct-to-lung kits. The 120ml bottle leaves headroom for two 10ml nicotine shots, so you can mix your own strength at home.
Twelve flavours sit in the Ecigone range, from Blue Raspberry and Riberry Lemonade to Vanilla Biscuit and Spearmint. This page covers every IVG shortfill we stock. It walks through the nic-shot maths and the kit setup that suits a 70/30 mix. It also shows how shortfills sit alongside IVG Intense nic salts and the wider IVG brand range.
IVG 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid
A shortfill is a large bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid with deliberate empty space at the top. IVG 100ml shortfills ship in a 120ml chubby gorilla bottle filled with 100ml of 0mg juice, leaving room for two 10ml nicotine shots.
Because the liquid leaves the factory nicotine-free, IVG can sell it in bottles much larger than the 10ml TPD cap that applies to pre-nicotined e-liquid in the UK. Add the nic shots once you get the bottle home and you finish up with a vape juice that suits the strength you actually want.
Every IVG 100ml shortfill uses the same recipe spine. 70% VG and 30% PG. 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml bottle. The flavour profile is built for the warm vapour a sub-ohm coil produces. For wider context, the Ecigone shortfill guide walks through the format end to end.
IVG shortfill nic shot maths (0mg, 1.5mg and 3mg options)
UK nic shots come in 10ml bottles at 18mg or 20mg strength. The maths is identical whichever you use, just with slightly different finishing strengths. Here is the breakdown for a standard IVG 100ml shortfill:
-
0mg - vape the 100ml as-is. Some sub-ohm vapers run nicotine-free liquid to enjoy the flavour without the throat hit.
-
Approx 3mg final - add two 18mg nic shots. 100ml of 0mg + 20ml of 18mg = 120ml at roughly 3mg. The most common mix because it uses both shots and fills the bottle.
-
Approx 3.3mg final - add two 20mg nic shots. Same maths, slightly stronger because the shots themselves are slightly stronger.
-
Approx 1.5mg final - add one 18mg nic shot for a softer hit and leave the headroom.
6mg is not practical in a single 100ml shortfill because there is not enough headroom for four nic shots. Vapers who want 6mg take one of two routes. Either decant 80ml of the base into a separate bottle and add nic to a smaller volume, or use 10ml nic salts instead, which are pre-mixed at higher strengths.
The formula behind those numbers is simple: final strength = (shot strength x shot volume) / total volume. Two 18mg shots into 120ml total works out as (18 x 20) / 120 = 3.0mg.
The 70/30 ratio explained
IVG 100ml shortfills run at 70% vegetable glycerine and 30% propylene glycol. VG is the thicker, sweeter base that produces the dense vapour you see from a sub-ohm coil. PG is thinner, carries flavour more sharply and gives a slightly firmer throat hit.
The 70/30 split is the standard sub-ohm blend across the UK because it balances cloud and flavour without going so VG-heavy that the juice struggles to wick.
That ratio rules out most MTL pod kits. A 70/30 juice is too thick for the tight 1.0-1.4 ohm coils inside something like an OXVA Xlim Pro 3 in MTL mode. It will gurgle or starve the coil. Stick to sub-ohm tanks with 0.15-0.4 ohm coils or RDL pods built for high-VG juice.
The full 70/30 high-VG range follows the same logic across other brands.
IVG shortfill flavours at Ecigone
Twelve IVG 100ml shortfills make up the Ecigone range, each one a 0mg, 70/30, 100ml bottle. Most are familiar IVG flavours re-blended for sub-ohm vapers who wanted a bigger bottle and a louder cloud.
If you searched for IVG Fruit Twist, that flavour now sits in the IVG Intense nic salt range rather than the shortfill line.
Which kit suits an IVG shortfill?
A 70/30 sub-ohm shortfill needs a kit that can wick thick juice and burn it at higher wattages than a pod. Anything in the sub-ohm kit range will run an IVG shortfill cleanly, with 0.15-0.4 ohm mesh coils as the sweet spot.
The Vaporesso Armour Ultra Kit pairs especially well because it ships with a GTX sub-ohm tank tuned for high-VG juice.
RDL pod kits also work if they take high-VG liquid - the Aspire BP series and Geekvape Aegis Boost Pro 2 are common picks. Standalone sub-ohm tanks are the route if you already own a box mod and just need the top end of the kit.
Skip IVG shortfills if your only device is a pre-filled pod kit like the IVG Pro 10K Kit, an IVG 2400 or any MTL pod. Those devices take 2ml nic salt pods and the 70/30 shortfill format will gurgle through them.
Shortfill vs nic salt vs 50/50 freebase
Three IVG e-liquid formats sit side by side, each one suited to a different setup. Shortfills (this page) are for sub-ohm and DTL kits running 0.15-0.4 ohm coils. Nic salts are pre-mixed 10ml bottles at 10mg or 20mg, built for low-power MTL pod kits like the OXVA Xlim or Vaporesso XROS.
50/50 freebase 10ml e-liquids sit between the two, with a thinner ratio that suits pod kits but uses traditional freebase nicotine rather than salt.
If you are coming off a pod kit and want to cut the cost per ml, shortfills are the obvious step. One 100ml shortfill plus two nic shots gives you 120ml of finished liquid, which is the rough equivalent of twelve 10ml bottles and works out cheaper per ml.
If you are staying on a pod kit, the IVG Intense nic salts are the format you want.
Where IVG shortfills fit in the brand
IVG started in Manchester in 2016 and built its reputation on fruity, sweet and dessert flavours that translate well to high-VG cloud production. The shortfill range is the sub-ohm corner of IVG. The wider shortfill category sits alongside dozens of other UK and worldwide brands if you want to compare.
For pod-kit shoppers the IVG Pro refills and IVG 2400 ranges complete the brand. Every IVG shortfill is 0mg as standard, with 10ml nic shots sold separately so you can mix to the strength that suits your setup.
