Caliypso Blue Surf 100ml Shortfill at a Glance

Caliypso 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Blue Surf is a nicotine-free vape juice sold in a large 100ml bottle at £7.99. It comes from the Caliypso range, a brand line of 37 products on this site, and every one of them shares the same format: a 100ml shortfill at 0mg and the same flat price. That consistency is the first thing worth knowing, because it means you are choosing a flavour and nothing else. There are no bottle sizes, strength dropdowns or price tiers to untangle.

Blue Surf is one of eight flavours in the Surf family, which sits beside the Ocean Lemonade, Wave and standalone lemonade families within the same brand. The listing gives the name, the volume, the strength and the price. It does not publish tasting notes, and no flavour tags are attached to this particular bottle, so this page will not pretend to describe a taste that the product data does not support. What it can do is explain exactly what you are buying, how a bottle like this behaves, which devices suit it and how to look after it. A later section deals with the flavour question head on.

A shortfill is e-liquid sold without nicotine in a bottle with spare room, so adults who want a strength can add nicotine shots afterwards. Leave it alone and you have a nicotine-free liquid. That suits plenty of people, including those who vape for the flavour and the routine rather than the nicotine itself. It is not the right choice for a sealed disposable or a small closed pod system, which are built around thinner liquids and cannot be topped up from a 100ml bottle.

The quick facts:

• Product: Caliypso 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Blue Surf
• Volume: 100ml of liquid
• Strength: 0mg as supplied
• Price: £7.99
• Category: shortfill, listed with our other shortfill e-liquids
• Age restriction: 18+ only

If you have never used a shortfill before, read on in order. The sections that follow move from how the format works through to troubleshooting and delivery, so you should be able to decide whether this bottle fits your set-up before it goes in your basket.

How a Shortfill Bottle Differs From Standard E-Liquid

Most people meet e-liquid in a 10ml bottle. UK rules limit nicotine-containing e-liquid to 10ml per bottle, cap nicotine strength at 20mg/ml and restrict tanks and pods to 2ml. Those limits shape a great deal of what is sold, including the familiar small bottles of nicotine salt e-liquid that top up a pod or a small tank.

Shortfills work around the bottle limit in a legal and perfectly ordinary way. Because a shortfill contains no nicotine, the 10ml cap does not apply, so the liquid can be sold in 50ml, 100ml or larger bottles. The bottle itself is usually bigger than the liquid inside it. That unused space is deliberate: it lets you add one or more 10ml nicotine shots later without overfilling. The label on your bottle is the authority on how many shots it can take. This page cannot state that figure, because the listing does not publish the bottle's total capacity.

The practical result is a very different buying experience. With a standard bottle you choose a flavour and a strength, pour it into a pod or tank and finish it within a week or two. With a shortfill you buy volume. A 100ml bottle holds ten times the liquid of a 10ml bottle for a price that is a good deal lower per millilitre, which is why daily tank users tend to gravitate towards the format.

It also changes the kind of liquid you are buying. Shortfills are generally made for open, high-airflow tanks and are usually thicker than the thin liquids used in small pod systems. The thickness comes down to the balance of vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, and for this bottle that ratio is not published on the listing. Look for it on the label when the bottle arrives, then compare it with the range your tank's manufacturer recommends. Putting a very thick liquid into a device built for thin ones is a common cause of weak flavour, spitting and poor wicking, and it is far easier to avoid than to fix.

None of this is complicated once you have done it once. Think of a shortfill as a bulk pack: cheaper per millilitre, needing a compatible device, and giving you the option of adding nicotine yourself if you choose.

Reading the Name: Where Blue Surf Sits in the Range

Names in the Caliypso line work more like a filing system than a flavour description. The brand's 36 individual flavours fall into four families, and knowing which family a name belongs to makes browsing much quicker. Ocean Lemonade is the largest, with ten colour-coded versions. Wave also has ten. Surf has eight: Black, Blue, Cold, Green, Orange, Purple, Rainbow and Red. The fourth group is made up of eight standalone lemonades with the flavour spelled out in the name.

Blue Surf is the Blue member of that Surf family. Its closest relatives by name are Cold Surf, which hints at a chilled character, and the other colours in the same set. Its cousins in neighbouring families are Caliypso Blue Wave, which shares the colour but belongs to the Wave family, and Blue Ocean Lemonade, which shares the colour and carries lemonade in the name.

That overlap is worth pausing on. Three Caliypso bottles contain the word Blue, and the word alone cannot tell you how they differ. They are separate listings with separate flavours, each priced at £7.99, and nothing on this page should be read as saying they taste alike or taste different. If you want to compare, the safest way is to buy two and judge for yourself. Two bottles come to £15.98, which is still a modest outlay for roughly 200ml of liquid.

For anyone who likes the idea of the Surf set but is not sure about Blue, Caliypso Cold Surf is the obvious neighbour to try next, because the name alone suggests a cooler profile. Again, that is a reading of the label rather than a tasting note, so treat it as a starting point.

The wider range, including every Surf, Wave and lemonade listing, sits on the brand page, where you can scan all 37 products in a single view and add the ones you want without hunting through menus.

What Can and Cannot Be Said About the Flavour

Honesty matters more than polish here. The product data for this bottle contains a name, a price, a volume and a strength. It contains no flavour tags and no description of what the liquid tastes like. Some product pages fill that gap with confident adjectives that nobody checked. This one will not.

What the name does tell you is limited but real. The word Blue is a colour-coding label inside the Surf family, the same way Black, Green, Orange, Purple, Red and Rainbow are. The sibling listing for Blue Ocean Lemonade is tagged lemonade and lemon, but that tag belongs to that bottle, and it would be wrong to carry it across to Blue Surf. In the vape trade, a colour in a name is sometimes a nod to a fruit and sometimes just branding, so it is poor evidence either way.

So how do you judge a flavour you cannot yet describe? Start with the label. The bottle you receive will carry its own information, and the front of the pack is the quickest check. Beyond that, a few habits help with any unfamiliar e-liquid:

• Fill a clean, freshly primed coil rather than an old one, because a tired coil dulls everything.
• Vape at a moderate wattage first, then adjust in small steps rather than jumping to the top of the range.
• Give it a few tanks before deciding. Your palate adapts, and a first impression is often unreliable.
• Take a note of whether the sweetness, any cooling effect or any sharpness is what stands out. That tells you which neighbouring flavour to try next.

Because the liquid is supplied at 0mg, there is no nicotine throat hit shaping the experience. What you notice is the flavour and the vapour itself, which makes this a fair test of whether you like the recipe. If you add nicotine later, expect the character to shift slightly, since nicotine brings its own bite.

The Numbers: Price, Volume and Cost Per Millilitre

Seven pounds ninety-nine for 100ml works out at 7.99p per millilitre. That single figure explains most of the appeal of shortfills. For comparison, a 10ml bottle sold in a five for £10 multibuy comes to £2 per bottle, or 20p per millilitre, which is about two and a half times the cost of this bottle. You pay a premium for the small size, and you pay far less for volume.

Here is what the multiples look like, since every Caliypso flavour has the same price:

• One bottle: £7.99 for 100ml
• Two bottles: £15.98 for 200ml
• Three bottles: £23.97 for 300ml
• Four bottles: £31.96 for 400ml

It helps to translate volume into days. Daily use varies enormously, so treat the next figures as illustrations rather than promises. Someone who vapes about 3ml a day would take roughly a month to finish a 100ml bottle, which is about 24p a day. A heavier user at 5ml a day would get through it in about three weeks, at around 40p a day. A light user could stretch the same bottle across several months, although a very long storage period is worth thinking about, and the storage section below covers it.

There are things the listing does not give us, and it is better to say so than guess. The VG/PG split is not published, and neither is the total bottle capacity. Both should be printed on the label. They matter for compatibility with your device and, if you want nicotine, for working out how many shots the bottle can hold.

Keep an eye on our vape deals page if you buy regularly. Caliypso itself does not carry a multibuy on this listing, so the value here comes from the flat low price per millilitre rather than a promotional offer. If you want more than one flavour, mixing two or three different bottles in the same order is the simplest way to build variety without paying extra delivery.

Which Devices Suit a Shortfill Like This

The question to ask before any purchase is whether your device can use it. A 100ml shortfill is a refill product, so it needs a device that you can fill yourself. That points to a particular group of kits.

The best fit is a refillable tank, particularly one designed for larger volumes of vapour and fitted with adjustable airflow. If you already own one, check the maximum fill level and the coil range printed on the base. If you are shopping for a first set-up, our vape kits range includes starter and advanced options, and you can filter towards the refillable styles. Many people who buy shortfill are using a tank and a battery mod, or a pen-style kit with a larger tank.

Refillable pod systems are the second route. These use a pod with a fill port, and the quality of the fit with a thicker shortfill depends on the specific pod and coil. The refillable vape pods collection lists the pods that can be filled from a bottle, so you can confirm the format before ordering. If the manufacturer states a recommended VG/PG range, hold the bottle label up against it.

What does not work is just as important:

• Sealed disposables cannot be refilled and contain their own liquid.
• Closed pod systems use prefilled, replaceable pods and are not designed to take liquid from a bottle.
• Very small pod devices with tight coils are usually tuned to thin liquids and can struggle with anything thicker.

If you currently use disposables and are wondering whether a shortfill could replace them, the honest answer is that it is a different habit. You gain volume and flexibility, and you take on a rechargeable battery, a coil to replace and a bottle to look after. It is not a drop-in swap, so decide whether you want the extra involvement before you switch. For a first tank, a kit with clear instructions and spare coils is the least stressful way to begin.

Setting Up the Tank, Coil and Wattage

Good set-up is the difference between a bottle that tastes the way it should and one that disappoints. The steps below are general good practice for refillable tanks and apply to any 0mg shortfill, so always defer to the manual that came with your own device.

Begin with a fresh coil. An old coil carries residue from earlier liquids, and new flavour on top of old residue rarely tastes clean. Our vape coils collection covers a wide range of replacements, and the correct one for your tank will be named in its manual or on the coil itself.

Priming comes next. Before the first fill, drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed cotton through the openings in the side of the coil. Then screw the coil into the base, fill the tank to the recommended level without going over, and refit the top. Leave the tank to stand for five to ten minutes. The cotton needs to soak right through before you fire the device, and skipping this wait is the most common way to ruin a new coil with a burnt taste.

Wattage deserves some restraint. Every coil has a recommended range printed on its side. Start near the low-to-middle part of that range, take a couple of gentle draws, and move up in small steps until the flavour is full without becoming harsh. Thicker liquids generally need a little more power than thin ones to vaporise well, but pushing too far makes the liquid taste scorched and shortens coil life. Keep the airflow slider fairly open to begin with, then close it gradually if you prefer a tighter draw.

Finally, look after the tank as you go. Do not let it run empty with a fired coil, wipe away any condensation from the airflow holes, and replace the coil when flavour fades or a burnt note appears. How long a coil lasts depends on your use and on the sweetness of the liquid, so there is no fixed schedule to promise.

Adding Nicotine Shots: The Arithmetic and the Cautions

This bottle is supplied at 0mg, and for many buyers that is the end of the story. If you want a strength, you add one yourself, and the process depends on simple arithmetic you can do on a phone.

The standard approach uses 10ml nicotine shots, commonly sold at 18mg/ml. Multiply the strength of the shot by its volume to get the milligrams of nicotine, then divide by the total liquid volume once the shot is in. Two worked examples show how it behaves:

• One 18mg shot: 18 times 10 gives 180mg. With the extra 10ml added to 100ml, the total is 110ml, so the finished liquid is about 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 18mg shots: 360mg across 120ml of total liquid gives 3mg/ml.

Those figures only work if your bottle has the room. The listing does not state the bottle capacity, so check the label for the maximum number of shots it was made to take. Never force extra liquid into a full bottle, and never pour contents into a different container to make the sums fit. If the bottle cannot take the shots you want, choose a different product rather than improvising.

After adding a shot, close the cap tightly and shake the bottle well to mix. Many people then leave it for a day before use, which lets the mixture settle. Label the bottle clearly with the new strength and the date, so nobody confuses it with a nicotine-free bottle later.

Honesty about the limits of this method is useful. Freebase shots at low strengths suit sub-ohm style use, but they are not a good match for someone who wants a high nicotine level from a small, quiet device. That person is generally better served by factory-made strengths, which is exactly what nicotine salt bottles are for. If you prefer to keep things simple and nicotine-free, the nicotine-free e-liquids collection lets you compare Caliypso with other 0mg options.

Whatever you choose, remember that nicotine is addictive and only for adults. Keep shots out of reach of children and pets, and wash your hands and skin after any spill.

Storage, Shelf Life and Safe Handling

A 100ml bottle is not going to be finished in a weekend, so how you store it matters. A few sensible habits will keep the flavour tasting as intended for as long as you use it.

Store the bottle upright, with the cap fully tightened, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light are the main enemies of any e-liquid. A windowsill, a radiator shelf and a parked car are all poor choices, because repeated warming and cooling can dull the flavour and change the colour. A cupboard or drawer in a room at normal temperature is ideal.

Keep the bottle in its original container where you can, or at least keep the label legible. The label carries the batch information, the ingredients and the safety text, and you will want those if you ever need to contact the shop or check a detail. Decanting liquid into an unlabelled container is a bad idea for the same reason, and it makes accidental misuse more likely.

Safety comes first with anything that might be tempting to a child or pet. Even a nicotine-free liquid should be stored out of reach, and bottles that have been mixed with nicotine shots need extra care. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it is swallowed or you feel unwell, seek medical advice and keep the bottle to hand so you can show the label.

On shelf life, check the bottle itself for any best-before information, since we do not publish a figure for this product. As a general rule, liquid left for a long time can darken slightly or lose some of its brightness, which is a normal change rather than a fault. A clear, off-smelling or strangely separated liquid is a different matter, and you should not use it.

Finally, do not leave liquid sitting in a tank for weeks at a time. If you plan a break from vaping, empty the tank, rinse it and store the bottle separately.

Honest Strengths and Limitations of This Bottle

Every product has trade-offs, and a fair assessment of this one starts with what works well.

The case for it:

• The price per millilitre is low, at £7.99 for 100ml.
• It is supplied at 0mg, so it suits adults who want a nicotine-free option.
• The volume means fewer reorders and less packaging waste than buying small bottles.
• The flat pricing across the Caliypso range makes it easy to try neighbouring flavours without worrying about a premium.
• The shortfill format gives you the choice of adding nicotine later, if you want it and the bottle has the room.

The case against it:

• The listing carries no tasting notes and no flavour tags, so you cannot read a description before buying.
• The VG/PG ratio and the bottle capacity are not published, so you must check the label for compatibility.
• It is no use in a disposable, a closed pod or any device that cannot be filled from a bottle.
• Getting a nicotine strength takes extra steps and extra purchases.
• A 100ml bottle is bulkier to carry than a small one, and opened e-liquid cannot be returned.

Put simply, this suits an adult who already has, or is buying, a refillable device, who enjoys vaping nicotine-free or is comfortable mixing, and who values volume over a quick-fix pack. It is a poor fit for someone who wants a single, sealed item that works straight from the box.

If that second description sounds more like you, our disposable vapes are built for that kind of ease of use, and they come with their own set of trade-offs around cost and waste. Each format has a place. The aim is to match the product to your habits rather than the other way round.

Troubleshooting Weak Flavour, Leaks and Gurgling

Most problems with a new bottle trace back to the set-up rather than the liquid. These are the issues buyers meet most often, along with what to try first.

Weak or muted flavour. The usual culprits are an old coil, wattage set too low, or a coil that has been saturated for a long time with a sweet liquid. Swap the coil, raise the power in small steps, and make sure the tank was filled and primed properly. Palate fatigue can also play a part, so a short break from vaping can make a flavour seem brighter again.

Burnt taste. This points to a dry or poorly primed coil, or power set too high. Stop vaping at once, let the cotton soak fully, and drop the wattage. If the taste does not clear, the coil is probably spent and should be replaced.

Leaking. Check that the tank is assembled correctly, that the seals are seated and that the tank was not overfilled. Changes in temperature or pressure can push liquid out of a full tank, so avoid filling to the very top. Closing the airflow slider before filling also helps.

Gurgling or spitting. Condensation in the airflow channel is the usual cause. Wipe the drip tip and the base, and open the airflow a little. Spitting can also mean the liquid is too thick for the coil, in which case moving to a coil designed for thicker liquids is the cleanest answer.

Liquid not reaching the cotton. A tight coil with a thick liquid can struggle to wick. Prime for longer, stand the tank upright for a few minutes, and try a slightly higher wattage.

If you have gone through these steps and something still feels wrong, or a bottle arrives damaged, get in touch and quote your order number. The support team can help work out whether it is a device issue or a faulty product. Because opened liquid cannot be sent back, it pays to check the bottle on arrival.

Delivery, Returns and Age Checks

You need to be 18 or over to buy this bottle, and that applies to nicotine-free liquid as much as to anything stronger. Checkout is age-verified, and you can read how the process works on the age verification page before you order.

Delivery is tracked and straightforward. Free standard delivery applies to orders over £20 and arrives in two to three working days. Under £20, standard delivery costs £2.99. A single £7.99 bottle falls into that lower band, as do two bottles at £15.98. Three bottles come to £23.97, which clears the free-delivery line, so buying a trio can work out cheaper per bottle once postage is counted. If you need it faster, next-day delivery is £4.99 for orders placed before 4pm, Monday to Friday. Orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Everything travels in discreet plain packaging, so the outside of the parcel does not advertise its contents.

Returns work differently for liquids than for most goods. For hygiene and safety reasons, opened e-liquids, disposables and pods cannot be returned. If something arrives faulty, you can return it within thirty days for a replacement or a refund, so keep the packaging until you have looked the bottle over. Signs to look for include a cracked bottle, a loose seal or a flavour that is not what you ordered. If anything looks wrong, contact the shop straight away with your order number.

The full wording on dispatch times, charges and returns lives on our delivery and returns page, and it is worth a read if you are ordering for a particular date. All stock is sold as genuine product.

If you are unsure about anything on this page, such as whether a 100ml shortfill suits your device, ask before you buy rather than after. An opened bottle cannot go back, and a short question now can save you a lot of hassle later.
