Nicotine shots

Nicotine holds a profound spot in the hearts of vapers. Especially those that are transitioning from smoking cigarettes and tobacco. Because of the Tobacco Products Directives, adding nicotine directly to e-liquids is often tedious, expensive and time-consuming for manufacturers.

Why not view our: nicotine salts, sub-ohm vape, mouth-to-lung kits and vape kits.

The TPD guidelines cover e-liquids containing nicotine but not nicotine-free varieties. That is why vape liquids manufacturers came up with nicotine shots. This approach gives them free rein to develop those creative vape liquids flavours without the long waits that come with testing for nicotine content.

What Is a Nicotine Shot?

Nicotine shots are small 10ml TPD compliant bottle that often features unflavoured nicotine e-liquids. Nicotine shots are not designed to be vaped on their own. You should mix them with nicotine-free vape liquids.

To make mixing easier, 0mg nicotine e-liquid flavours are short-filled. That leaves enough room for you to pour in the nicotine after purchasing your favourite vape juice flavour.

Why Should I Use Nicotine Shots?

There are several reasons why nicotine shots are a great idea. The first is that they save you the trouble of carrying around two bottles of the same e-liquid flavour.

You can mix the nicotine shot with your favourite e-liquid flavour with a nicotine shot. You only need to carry one bottle without sacrificing your nicotine fix.

Shots also give you more power to control the amount of nicotine you vape. Besides choosing the nicotine concentration you want to buy, you can also control the amount of nicotine you add to your vape liquids, giving you full control over the amount of nicotine you vape.

How Much Nicotine Should You Vape?

When it comes to nicotine, how much you can take boils down to personal preference. In most cases, your preferred nicotine strength depends on how much you used to smoke. However, if you’re new to nicotine shots, here are some recommendations you can use:

• 0mg/ml if you’ve never smoked or if you’re working on cutting out nicotine completely.
• 3mg/ml if you're a light smoker or want to reduce your nicotine intake.
• 6mg/ml for moderate smokers.
• 12mg/ml for heavy smokers.

This is a general guideline. You can adjust the nicotine concentration to your liking and our full range of nicotine shot options.

Types of Nicotine Shots

There are two types of nicotine shots in the market. The first one is the freebase. It comprises pure nicotine and is best used with high-powered devices. The other kind of nicotine shot is salt nicotine. This delivers a more intense hit and can be used with low-powered devices.

As you would expect, vape liquid brands are always getting crafty and coming up with new and exciting products. There’s a new and exciting nicotine shot with an added menthol blast for menthol lovers.

How to Use a Nicotine Shot

Although using a nicotine shot is easy, you must know how to use it properly to avoid adding too much or too little.

The first step to using a nicotine shot is determining how much to put. Ideally, this shouldn't be hard, considering that all nicotine shots come in a 10ml bottle. All you have to do is divide the bottle into four equal parts of 2.5mls each.

Use a nicotine shot calculator to measure how much of the TPD nicotine shot you can add. Input the size of your nicotine-free vape liquid, the concentration of your nicotine shot and your desired concentration.

Based on the calculator figure, you can add the desired amount of nicotine to your vape liquid. Before adding the mixture to your vaping equipment, shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the two liquids are thoroughly mixed.

How long do nicotine shots last?

Typically, a 10ml nicotine shot bottle will last you anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months, depending on how often you vape, how much you vape, and how many mg/ml of nicotine your liquid contains.

There are, however, several factors that determine how long the shots last.

These are:

Nicotine Strength

The obvious one is the strength of the e-liquid that you mix it with. Higher strength means more hits per ml, so you’ll vape less and use less liquid. If you’re using 18mg/ml e-liquid, switching to 6mg/ml will mean using three times as much liquid (approximately).

Vaping Style

If you smoke several times a day more often than not, then it can take longer for nicotine to clear from your system compared to someone who smokes only occasionally. This is because regular daily use builds up the amount of nicotine stored in fatty tissues throughout the body, and it can take longer to leave your system.

Your Weight and Body Fat Percentage

The more you weigh and the higher your body fat percentage is, the longer nicotine will stay in your system. If you're overweight or obese, it can take up to a week to eliminate nicotine from your body. It takes much less time if you're a thin person who maintains a healthy lifestyle.

Who can use nicotine shots?

Anyone looking to reduce the amount of nicotine they are consuming or quit smoking can use nicotine shots. Nicotine shots are a great way to slowly wean yourself off the addiction without needing to immediately stop everything. This will also allow you to cut out the parts of cigarettes that cause harm, such as tar and tobacco.

Nicotine shots can be used with virtually any e-liquid, although it is best not to put them into tobacco flavours since this could lead to confusion when trying to quit smoking.

Some people may be allergic to PG (propylene glycol), so you should always check that you are ok with this before using a nicotine shot. If you are allergic, then VG (vegetable glycol) based e-liquids and nicotine shots are available from most suppliers.

However, people suffering from the following conditions need clearance from their medics before taking nicotine shots.

• Asthma or other breathing problems.
• Heart disease or blood pressure problems.
• Diabetes or thyroid disease.
• Stomach ulcers or liver disease.
• Depression or other psychiatric disorders.
• Headaches, migraines or epilepsy.

How Nicotine shots are helpful in quitting smoking

The primary benefit of Nicotine shots is that it helps reduce cravings for nicotine and helps with other symptoms of tobacco withdrawal such as anxiety and depression. Nicotine shots contain nicotine which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth when inhaled through a vaporizer device.

Basically, each shot contains nicotine but not the other chemicals found in cigarettes, such as tar or carbon monoxide. This means using these shots is less harmful to your health than smoking cigarettes.

While this happens, the brain removes the old receptors from when you smoked cigarettes. Once you have stopped taking medication for smoking addiction, the new receptors remain for several months. Once the number of receptors decreases, the likelihood of experiencing negative side effects such as intense cravings also decreases.

Are Nicotine Shots Dangerous?

One of the most significant benefits of vaping is the ability to control your nicotine intake. It’s a common misconception that the amount of nicotine you consume is directly related to your risk of harm. The chemicals make tobacco smoke harmful, not the nicotine itself.

That might explain why vapers often opt for higher nicotine strengths and gradually reduce them over time when they start vaping. If you vape 18mg/ml e-liquid and switch to 6mg/ml e-liquid, you'll be consuming less nicotine overall, but it’s unlikely this will impact your health in any way.

However, we can't ignore the fact that if nicotine usage is mismanaged, its risks will outweigh the benefits. So, you have a choice of inhalable levels of nicotine, ranging from none at all to lots. If you're having trouble quitting cigarettes, you may wish to gradually reduce your nicotine intake by switching to e-cigarettes with lower nicotine concentrations.

Some vapers don't want to take any nicotine at all. Fortunately, you can buy e-cigarettes with no nicotine — just like other vape products, you can choose between different flavours and strengths of "vape juice."

Nicotine Shots FAQs 

Which Nicotine Shot Do I Need?

This depends on how strong you want your e-liquid; if you want 3mg of nicotine, then select the 3mg nicotine shot. Likewise, if you want 6mg select the 6mg shot etc.

Can I use nicotine shots in my vape device?

No. Nicotine shots are designed to be used when mixing an e-liquid from a short fill bottle, not with an existing e-liquid or directly in your vape device. Every 10ml of nicotine shots will add 18mg of nicotine to your existing e-liquid without adding any other flavours or ingredients. Adding liquid straight to your tank could result in too much nicotine being added, making your e-liquid intolerable or even dangerous to vape.
