The Complete Guide to Longfill E-Liquids
Welcome to the latest Guides and Information blog. DIY vaping has grown massively over the last few years and longfill e-liquids are now becoming one of the most popular ways to vape. They give users more control over nicotine strength, VG and PG ratios and overall vaping style while also helping cut costs compared to buying multiple small bottles.
If you have seen longfills online and wondered what they are or how they work this guide explains everything you need to know.
What is a Longfill E-Liquid?
A longfill is a bottle that contains concentrated flavouring instead of ready mixed e-liquid. Most longfills come in a 60ml bottle with either 10ml 20ml or 30ml of flavour concentrate inside.
The remaining empty space inside the bottle is there so you can add your own nicotine shots and booster shots to create your preferred e liquid mix.
Unlike standard pre mixed vape juice longfills allow you to customise:
-
Nicotine strength
-
VG and PG ratio
-
Freebase or nicotine salt style mixes
-
Overall vaping experience
At Make My Vape we offer a range of bundle options that make mixing simple. Just choose your flavour and preferred bundle option then add everything into the bottle shake well and your vape juice is ready to go.
Why Are Longfills So Popular?
Longfills have become popular because they combine the flexibility of DIY mixing with the convenience of pre made flavour blends.
Many vapers enjoy longfills because they:
-
Cost less than buying multiple 10ml bottles
-
Offer more control over nicotine strength
-
Let users create high VG or 50VG 50PG mixes
-
Make it easy to try premium flavours in different styles
-
Give users a more personalised vape setup
A flavour that normally only comes in a small 10ml bottle can often be turned into a larger custom mix using the longfill version.
Do Longfills Include Nicotine?
No.
Longfills are supplied without nicotine. The bottle only contains concentrated flavouring and space for you to add nicotine shots or boosters yourself.
This allows you to choose the exact nicotine strength you prefer rather than being locked into one option.
The Main Benefits of Longfills
Better Value for Money
Longfills are one of the most affordable ways to enjoy premium vape flavours. Instead of purchasing several ready mixed bottles you simply buy the concentrate and add boosters yourself.
For regular vapers this can save a significant amount over time.
Full Control Over Your Mix
One of the biggest advantages of longfills is flexibility.
You can decide:
-
Your nicotine strength
-
Your VG and PG ratio
-
Whether you want nicotine salts or freebase nicotine
-
The final vaping style you prefer
For example you may want:
-
50VG 50PG for pod kits
-
70VG 30PG for sub ohm vaping
-
Nicotine salts for a smoother inhale
-
Higher nicotine strengths for stronger cravings
Longfills make all of this possible using the same flavour.
How to Use a Longfill
Using a longfill is straightforward even if you have never mixed e liquid before.
1. Choose Your Flavour
Start by selecting a longfill flavour that suits your taste. Fruit, desserts, beverage, Ice and candy flavours are all available in longfill format.
2. Pick Your Bundle Option
Choose the bundle that matches the nicotine strength and VG PG ratio you want.
At Make My Vape we offer multiple bundle choices including:
-
50VG 50PG mixes
-
70VG 30PG mixes
-
Nicotine salt options
-
Different nicotine strengths
3. Add Your Nicotine and Boosters
Pour the supplied shots into the longfill bottle carefully.
Always wash your hands after handling nicotine products.
4. Shake the Bottle Thoroughly
Once everything has been added give the bottle a strong shake for a few minutes.
This helps blend the flavour concentrate nicotine and boosters evenly.
5. Allow the Liquid to Steep
Some flavours are ready almost immediately while others improve after a few days.
Dessert cream and bakery flavours often benefit from steeping because the flavour profile becomes smoother and more balanced over time.
What Ingredients are Inside Longfills?
Longfills normally contain concentrated food grade flavourings suspended in PG.
These flavour concentrates can include natural or artificial flavour compounds depending on the recipe.
No nicotine is included inside the bottle unless you add it yourself.
Once boosters are added you can create either:
-
High VG e liquid
-
Balanced 50VG 50PG e liquid
-
Nicotine salt mixes
-
Freebase nicotine mixes

Longfill vs Shortfill
Many new vapers confuse longfills and shortfills but they work differently.
Longfill
-
Contains flavour concentrate only
-
Usually supplied in a 60ml bottle
-
Requires boosters and nicotine shots
-
Ideal for custom mixing
-
Suitable for higher nicotine strengths
Shortfill
-
Contains ready mixed 0mg e liquid
-
Usually available in 50ml or 100ml sizes
-
Only requires nicotine shots if needed
-
Normally pre mixed to a fixed VG PG ratio
-
Better suited for lower nicotine strengths
Can You Vape a Longfill Without Mixing It?
No.
Longfills are concentrated flavour blends and are not intended to be vaped directly from the bottle.
Using a longfill without adding boosters can result in extremely strong flavour and a harsh vaping experience.
Always add the correct nicotine and booster combinations before use.
Using an E-Liquid Calculator
If you are buying a longfill without a pre selected bundle we strongly recommend using an e liquid calculator.
This allows you to work out:
-
Nicotine strength
-
VG and PG ratios
-
Booster quantities
-
Final liquid volume
The Make My Vape calculator makes mixing much easier and helps ensure accurate results every time.
