Caliypso Purple Surf 100ml Shortfill: What the Listing Covers

Caliypso Purple Surf 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid is a nicotine-free vape juice in a large bottle, priced at £7.99. It belongs to the Caliypso range, a brand line of 37 products on this site, and it sits alongside 368 other bottles in our shortfill e-liquid collection. Three facts define the listing: the name, the 100ml volume and the 0mg strength.

Shortfill describes a format rather than a taste. The bottle holds liquid but is not filled to the brim, and that spare space is what allows an adult to add nicotine shots afterwards if they choose to. Nobody has to. Plenty of buyers leave the bottle exactly as it arrives and vape it nicotine-free, and that is how this page treats it unless it says otherwise.

What the listing does not do is describe the flavour. No tasting notes are published for Purple Surf, so you will not find made-up adjectives on this page. What you will find is a practical walk through everything else that matters before you click buy:

• Product: Purple Surf, from the Surf family within Caliypso
• Volume: 100ml shortfill bottle
• Strength: 0mg, so no nicotine as supplied
• Price: £7.99 per bottle
• Sold to: adults aged 18 and over only

Every Caliypso bottle on the site shares the same size, strength and price. That keeps the decision narrow. You are choosing a name, and everything else stays constant, so the sections below spend their time on the things that genuinely vary from one buyer to the next: the device in your hand, how much you vape in a day and whether you plan to add nicotine at some point.

Purple in the Surf Family of Eight

Count the bottles in the Surf family and you reach eight: Black, Blue, Cold, Green, Orange, Purple, Rainbow and Red. Purple Surf is the Purple member of that set. Surf is one of four groups inside the Caliypso catalogue, the others being Ocean Lemonade with ten versions, Wave with ten, and a final group of eight lemonades whose flavour is spelled out in the name. Together that makes 36 individual flavours, plus the parent 100ml listing that brings the brand total to 37.

Colour words recur across those families, which can be confusing at first glance. Black, Blue and Orange each turn up in Surf, Wave and Ocean Lemonade versions, as separate listings with separate prices on the shelf. Purple Surf is simply the one to look for when you want the Purple name inside the Surf group. When you browse the full Caliypso collection, the alphabetical order helps, but reading the whole product name matters more than reading the first word.

Its nearest neighbours by name are Black Surf, Blue Surf, Cold Surf, Green Surf, Orange Surf, Rainbow Surf and Red Surf. Each is a separate bottle at £7.99. Nothing in the product data says Purple Surf tastes like any of them, or that it tastes different. Treat the names as labels rather than predictions.

That leaves a sensible strategy for anyone who likes the idea of the range but cannot decide. Two bottles come to £15.98 and give you roughly 200ml of liquid to compare side by side. Three bottles cost £23.97, which clears the free-delivery threshold, so a mixed trio from the Surf set is a cheap way to find a favourite. Because opened liquids cannot go back, a small comparison before you commit to a larger stack of one name is usually the calmer way to shop.

Reading a Purple Label Without Guessing the Flavour

Purple is a tempting colour to read too much into. In vape naming, a colour can hint at a fruit, point to a cooling effect, or mean nothing beyond the packaging design. For Purple Surf there are no flavour tags attached to the listing, so any confident description from a retailer would be a guess dressed up as fact.

The more reliable sources are the ones you hold in your hand. The label on the bottle you receive carries the manufacturer's own wording, and it is worth reading before you open the cap. After that, your own first few tanks tell you more than any adjective could. A handful of habits make an unfamiliar liquid easier to judge:

• Use a clean, freshly primed coil. A tired coil flattens everything and makes a decent liquid seem dull.
• Start at a moderate wattage inside the range printed on the coil, then nudge it up or down in small steps.
• Give the liquid three or four tanks before deciding. First impressions are often distorted by whatever you vaped before.
• Notice which quality stands out: sweetness, any chill on the exhale, or a sharper edge. That tells you which neighbouring bottles to try next.

Palate fatigue deserves a mention too. Many vapers report that a very sweet liquid seems to fade after a few days of constant use, even though nothing about the bottle has changed. If a flavour seems to vanish, switching to something different for a day or two often brings it back.

One last practical point follows from the shop's policy. An opened e-liquid cannot be returned, which is why we suggest buying a single bottle first if the name is new to you. If it suits, the 100ml size makes restocking quick and inexpensive.

Who Tends to Reach for a Nicotine-Free 100ml Bottle

A bottle this size suits a particular kind of buyer, and it helps to know whether you are one of them. The first group is made up of adults who simply prefer to vape without nicotine. They want the flavour, the ritual and the cloud, and they go through enough liquid that 10ml bottles feel fiddly. A single 100ml bottle replaces ten small ones and removes a lot of fiddling.

The second group is adults who like to set their own strength. They buy the bottle at 0mg and add nicotine shots to reach a figure they have worked out themselves. That is a legitimate way to use a shortfill, and a later section sets out the arithmetic. It is not the only way, and it asks a bit more of the buyer than pouring and vaping.

The third group is heavy users of large-tank devices. Sub-ohm style setups use a lot of liquid, and a 100ml bottle at £7.99 keeps the running cost low. If that sounds like you, the nicotine-free e-liquid range is worth browsing for other bottle sizes and brands to rotate through.

Who is it not for? Anyone under 18, full stop. This is an adult product even without nicotine, and checkout is age-verified. It is also not aimed at people who have never smoked or vaped and are simply curious. And if you want a ready-mixed nicotine strength with no measuring, a shortfill is the wrong shape of product. A factory-made strength in a smaller bottle will suit you better.

If you are weighing it up, a useful test is to ask whether you own a refillable device and enjoy filling it. If the answer is yes, this format will probably feel natural. If you are unsure, the later sections on devices and compatibility will settle it quickly.

Price Arithmetic: £7.99, Multiples and Daily Cost

Seven pounds ninety-nine for 100ml works out at 7.99p per millilitre. Set that against a standard 10ml bottle in a five for £10 deal, which is £2 per bottle or 20p per millilitre, and the shortfill costs roughly 40 per cent of the price per ml. You pay a premium for small bottles and very little for volume. Our five for £10 e-liquids are handy if you want variety, but for a single flavour you plan to vape daily, the large bottle wins on cost.

Because every Caliypso flavour is priced the same, the multiples are easy to read:

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

Delivery changes the picture slightly. Standard delivery is £2.99 below £20 and free at £20 or more. One bottle and two bottles both fall under the line, while three bottles clear it, so the third bottle effectively removes the postage charge on the whole order.

To turn volume into days, here are three illustrations. Your own use will differ, so treat them as arithmetic rather than promises:

• About 2ml a day: a bottle lasts roughly 50 days and costs around 16p a day.
• About 3ml a day: roughly 33 days, or about 24p a day.
• About 5ml a day: roughly 20 days, or about 40p a day.

The listing does not publish the VG/PG ratio or the total bottle capacity, and this page will not guess either. If you plan to add nicotine shots, the extra cost of the shots sits on top of the figures above. For the shop's current multibuy pricing across other lines, the vape deals page is the place to check.

Matching the Bottle to a Tank: Devices That Make Sense

Start with the device, not the bottle. A 100ml shortfill is designed to fill refillable hardware, so the question is which of your kit has a fill port and a coil you can swap. The common matches are easy to list:

• Sub-ohm tanks: large-capacity tanks with low-resistance coils are the classic home for shortfills. They reward free-flowing liquid and generous wattage.
• Refillable pod systems: many compact devices take a refillable pod or cartridge. Our refillable vape pods are the usual starting point, but check the pod's stated coil range first.
• Complete starter setups: if you are building from scratch, browse the vape kits and pick one with a refillable tank rather than a sealed cartridge.

The detail that trips people up is the match between coil and liquid. The VG/PG ratio of Purple Surf is not published in the listing, so check the label for the mix. As a general rule, thicker, higher-VG liquids pair with low-resistance coils run at higher power, while thinner, PG-leaning liquids suit tighter draws and higher resistances. Using the wrong pairing is rarely dangerous, but it can mean gurgling, leaking or a muted flavour.

Check three things on your own device before filling it. First, find the recommended wattage range on the coil. Second, confirm how the tank fills, as top-fill designs are far less messy than bottom-fill ones. Third, check the tank's capacity, because a small pod will take a fraction of the bottle and you may only fill it a few times before the bottle is empty.

Do not pour a shortfill into any device that is not designed to be refilled. That rule is simple, but it matters enough to get its own section later on.

Filling, Priming and Your First Few Tanks

Unscrew, fill, wait. Those three verbs cover most of the process, and getting each one right protects both your coil and your table.

Before anything else, wash and dry your hands and make sure the tank is empty and clean. Residue from a previous liquid will mix with the new one and muddy the first few puffs. Then work through the steps in order:

• Open the bottle: remove the outer cap and keep the nozzle pointing upwards until you are ready to pour.
• Fill slowly: aim the nozzle at the inner wall of the tank or the side of the fill port. Avoid the central airflow tube, because liquid dripping down it will flood the coil and leak out of the air holes.
• Stop below the top: leave a small air gap. Overfilling is the most common reason for spitting and leaking.
• Let the coil soak: wait five to ten minutes so the cotton wick saturates. A dry or half-wet wick burns, and a burnt coil spoils any flavour.
• Prime gently: take a few short draws without pressing the fire button, then start at the lower end of the coil's wattage range.

The first tank is the one to treat with patience. A new coil needs a few minutes to settle, and a flavour that seems flat at the start often improves once the wick is fully wet and the coil has reached its working temperature. If anything tastes burnt, switch off, let the tank rest and check your wattage before pushing on.

Keep a tissue handy for the bottle nozzle, wipe the threads of the tank before closing it, and screw the bottle cap back on firmly. A little tidiness here prevents sticky fingers and a smelly bag later. Once you have done it two or three times, refilling takes under a minute.

Choosing a Nicotine Strength If You Decide to Add Shots

Zero is a perfectly good answer, and it is the strength this bottle ships at. If you do want nicotine, the usual route is a 10ml nicotine shot, commonly sold at 18mg/ml, added to the bottle. Nicotine is addictive, so work out the number you want before you start rather than adding shots at random.

The sums are straightforward. Multiply the strength of the shot by its volume, then divide by the total volume of liquid once the shot is in. Here are three worked examples, assuming the bottle has room:

• One 18mg shot: 180mg of nicotine in about 110ml, which gives roughly 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 18mg shots: 360mg in about 120ml, which gives 3mg/ml.
• Three 18mg shots: 540mg in about 130ml, which gives roughly 4.2mg/ml.

Those are arithmetic examples, not recommendations. The listing does not state the bottle's total capacity or the maximum number of shots it can take, so read the label. If the bottle cannot take the shots you want, do not squeeze extra in and do not decant into an unmarked container. Choose a different product instead.

After adding shots, close the cap, shake thoroughly and let the bottle rest for a day if you can. Write the new strength and the date on the bottle so nobody mistakes it for a nicotine-free one later, particularly if children or pets are in the house.

Freebase shots at low strength suit open, high-airflow devices. They are a poor match for someone who wants a firmer hit from a small, discreet device. If that is you, a factory-made strength will serve you better, and nicotine salt e-liquids exist for precisely that reason. They are sold ready-mixed, so no measuring is needed.

Where a Shortfill Is the Wrong Tool

Not every vape can take a bottle. Plenty of popular devices are sealed units, and putting a shortfill into them is a mistake that costs you the device and the liquid.

• Disposable vapes: these are pre-filled and not designed to be opened or refilled. If you want a device with no filling at all, browse the disposable vapes instead.
• Closed pod kits: these use cartridges that are filled and sealed at the factory. Our closed pod kits take matching replacement pods rather than bottled liquid.
• Prefilled pods: as the name says, they arrive already filled and are swapped when empty.

If you are not sure which category your device belongs to, look for a fill port. A refillable tank or pod has a visible opening, often with a sliding cover or a silicone bung. A sealed device does not. When in doubt, check the manual or ask before buying.

There is a safety side to this too. Forcing liquid into a sealed device or an incompatible cartridge can flood the electronics, leak onto the battery section or leave you with a coil that cannot cope. Those are all avoidable by choosing the right product first.

It is worth admitting that a shortfill is not the most convenient format on offer. It needs a refillable device, a spare minute, and a willingness to handle liquid. For buyers who value grab-and-go convenience above cost per millilitre, sealed formats genuinely make more sense. The reverse is also true: someone who vapes several millilitres a day will find sealed devices expensive, and a 100ml bottle at £7.99 is the cheaper long-term route.

Pick the format that fits how you actually vape rather than the one that looks cheapest at a glance.

Storing the Bottle: Heat, Light and Open Bottles

A bottle you intend to finish over several weeks deserves a proper home. E-liquid does not spoil dramatically overnight, but heat, light and air all change it slowly, and a few simple habits keep Purple Surf tasting as the manufacturer intended.

• Keep it cool: a cupboard or drawer at room temperature is ideal. Avoid radiators, windowsills, car dashboards and hot bags.
• Keep it dark: direct sunlight can break down flavour compounds and darken the liquid.
• Keep it upright: a tightly closed bottle standing on its base is less likely to seep around the cap.
• Keep it closed: replace the cap straight after each fill, as open bottles take in air and dust.

Safety matters more than flavour here. Store the bottle out of reach and sight of children and pets. Even a nicotine-free liquid is not a drink or a toy, and a bottle that looks colourful is exactly what a curious toddler will pick up. Do not move the contents into old drink bottles or unlabelled containers, because that makes accidents far more likely.

How long does an opened bottle stay good? There is no fixed deadline on the listing, so use your senses. If the colour has deepened a little, that is common and not necessarily a problem. If the smell has turned sharp or sour, or the taste has gone flat or harsh, it has had its time. With a 0mg liquid, the main drivers are air exposure and warmth, so a sensible aim is to finish an opened bottle within a few months.

When you have emptied the bottle, follow your local council guidance for disposal rather than pouring leftovers down the sink. Most councils publish clear instructions for small amounts of household chemical waste and for plastic bottles.

Troubleshooting: Gurgling, Leaks, Dry Hits and Flat Taste

Most problems with a refilled tank come down to a handful of causes. Here is a quick reference you can work through before assuming the liquid is at fault.

• Gurgling or spitting: usually too much liquid reaching the coil, or condensation in the mouthpiece. Wipe out the drip tip, check you have not overfilled and try opening the airflow a notch.
• Leaking from the air holes: often a loose tank section, a worn seal or filling down the centre tube. Tighten the tank, inspect the O-rings and refill more carefully.
• Dry or burnt hits: the wick has run short of liquid or the wattage is too high. Top up, wait for the coil to saturate, then drop the power.
• Flat or muted flavour: a tired coil is the usual culprit. Fit a fresh one from our replacement coils and prime it properly.
• Sticky residue: wipe the threads and the outside of the tank after filling.

If a new coil still tastes odd, the cause may be the pairing with the liquid. Because the listing does not publish the VG/PG mix, the label is your best guide. A thick liquid in a coil with small wicking holes can struggle to soak through, while a thin one in a large-hole coil can flood it. Adjusting wattage within the printed range, or switching to a coil suited to the liquid's thickness, solves most cases.

A final tip: change coils on a schedule rather than waiting for them to fail. Many vapers swap every one to two weeks of regular use, though sweeter liquids can shorten that. Keeping a spare coil in a drawer saves you from vaping through a burnt one.

If you have tried these fixes and something still seems wrong with the bottle itself, such as a cracked body or a leaking seal on arrival, contact the shop with your order number.

Delivery, Returns and Age Checks

Every order is age-verified, and that applies to nicotine-free liquid as much as to anything stronger. The checkout asks you to confirm your details, and the process is explained on our age verification page, which is worth reading before your first order if you are new to the site.

Delivery is tracked and priced simply. Standard delivery is free on orders of £20 or more and takes two to three working days. Below £20 it costs £2.99, which covers one bottle at £7.99 or two at £15.98. Three bottles at £23.97 pass the free-delivery line, so ordering a trio can be cheaper overall. If you need it sooner, next-day delivery costs £4.99 on orders placed before 4pm, Monday to Friday, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Parcels travel in discreet plain packaging.

Returns work differently for liquids than for most goods. For hygiene and safety reasons, opened e-liquids cannot be returned. If something arrives faulty, such as a cracked bottle, a loose seal or the wrong flavour, you can send it back within thirty days for a replacement or refund. Keep the packaging until you have checked the contents, and photograph any damage before you contact us.

All stock is genuine product, and the full wording on dispatch, charges and returns sits on the delivery and returns page. If you are ordering for a specific date, read it before you pay.

Unsure whether a 100ml shortfill suits your device, or want a second opinion on which Surf name to pick? Ask first and buy second, using the contact page. An opened bottle cannot go back, and a short question beforehand costs nothing.
