Nexus 100ml Shortfill Fresh Raspberry Mojito at a glance

Nexus 100ml Shortfill Fresh Raspberry Mojito is a large bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid from the Nexus range, priced at £3.50 and supplied at 0mg. The flavour pairs raspberry with the lime-and-mint freshness of a mojito, and there is no alcohol involved. It is a refill product, which means it feeds a tank or refillable pod kit you already own. There is no battery, no coil and no charging port in the box. What you are buying is a bottle of liquid, so most of the usual device questions (puff count, mAh, mesh coils) are really questions about the kit you pair it with. This page covers both halves, the liquid and the equipment, so you can judge whether the combination suits you.

Here are the facts that matter before you read further.

• Brand and range: Nexus 100ml shortfill series, one of around twenty flavours sold at the same price.
• Format: shortfill e-liquid in a 100ml bottle, filled with less than 100ml of liquid so there is space for nicotine shots.
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg/ml. You only get nicotine if you add shots yourself.
• Flavour: Fresh Raspberry Mojito, a raspberry, lime and mint profile.
• Price: £3.50 per bottle at the time of writing, which works out at roughly 3.5p to 5p per millilitre of liquid depending on the fill volume printed on the label.
• Best suited to: sub-ohm tanks and refillable kits that take thick, high-VG liquid.
• Not suited to: disposables, sealed prefilled pods or closed systems that cannot be refilled.

The rest of this guide explains how a shortfill works, what the flavour is likely to taste like, how to choose a nicotine strength if you want one, which tank and coil to use, how long a bottle lasts, and how it compares fairly with other ways of buying e-liquid. Everything is written for adult UK vapers and keeps to what can be said honestly from the product listing and from how this format works in general. Where the listing is silent, such as the exact VG/PG ratio, the guide says so and tells you where to look on your bottle.

How a 100ml shortfill works and what is in the bottle

A shortfill is a bottle that is deliberately not full. UK rules, set out in the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, cap nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20mg/ml and limit bottles of nicotine e-liquid to 10ml. A 100ml bottle can only be sold legally as a nicotine-free product, so the manufacturer fills it with less liquid than the bottle can hold and leaves the rest as empty headroom. That headroom is there so you can pour in one or more 10ml nicotine shots, shake, and end up with a full 100ml bottle at a strength of your choosing. If you do not add anything, you simply have 0mg e-liquid with a lot of air in the bottle.

The size on the front of the bottle is the container size, not the amount of liquid inside. The liquid volume is printed on the label, usually in small type near the ingredients. For a bottle sold as 100ml shortfill, the liquid fill is commonly 70ml or 80ml, but you should read your own label rather than assume. That one number drives every calculation in this guide, including cost per millilitre and the final nicotine strength after adding shots.

• Container: 100ml plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle tip and a cap.
• Liquid inside: less than 100ml, with the exact figure on the label.
• Nicotine: none in the bottle as supplied.
• Ingredients: expect propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG) and food-grade flavouring, as listed on the label.
• Age limit: 18 or over, because the sale of vaping products to under-18s is illegal in the UK even at 0mg.

The listing does not publish a VG/PG ratio, so check the bottle on arrival. Shortfills of this type tend to be VG-led, often around 70VG/30PG, because they are made for sub-ohm tanks that need a thick liquid to produce dense vapour. A higher-VG liquid is more viscous, wicks more slowly into a small coil, and gives a smoother, softer throat feel. A higher-PG liquid is thinner and carries flavour a little more sharply. If the label shows 70VG, treat the bottle as a sub-ohm liquid and use equipment designed for it, as covered in the tank and coil section below.

Because the bottle contains no nicotine, it also carries lighter warnings than a nicotine liquid, but it is still a vaping product. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and treat any nicotine shots you buy with the care their labels ask for.

What the Fresh Raspberry Mojito flavour tastes like

The name tells you the three building blocks: raspberry, lime and mint. A real mojito is built from lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and soda water, and the vape version borrows that structure without the rum. The listing does not publish tasting notes beyond the product name, so the description below is an informed expectation based on the name and how this flavour style is normally put together, not a promise about every note.

Raspberry is the fruit that leads. Expect a ripe, slightly tart red berry on the inhale, closer to fresh raspberry than to sweet raspberry candy, though fruit e-liquids always sit on the sweeter side of the real thing. Lime tends to arrive in the middle of the draw as a bright citrus edge that stops the raspberry from feeling syrupy. Mint usually shows up on the exhale and in the aftertaste as a cool, leafy freshness. Because the name says Fresh, it is reasonable to expect a noticeable cooling element, but the strength of that cooling is not stated, so someone who dislikes menthol-style products should think before ordering a full bottle.

• Inhale: raspberry with a light citrus lift.
• Exhale: mint and lime, with the berry fading underneath.
• Aftertaste: cool and slightly sweet, without a heavy dessert coating.
• Sweetness: medium, in line with most fruit shortfills.

How you vape changes what you taste. At low power, the mint and lime stay crisp and the raspberry reads as fresh. Push the wattage higher and the heat tends to flatten the mint, push the sweetness forward and make the flavour feel thicker and warmer. If the first few tank fills seem muted, drop the power by five to ten watts before deciding you dislike it.

Adding nicotine shots can also nudge the taste. Freebase nicotine adds a little throat hit and can take the edge off the lightest flavour notes, which in a mint-and-lime profile may mean the freshness feels slightly less bright at higher strengths. If you pick this flavour at 0mg you taste it exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Among the other Nexus flavours sold at the same price, it sits closest to Nexus 100ml Shortfill Lime Raspberry Grapefruit, Nexus 100ml Shortfill Pear Apple Raspberry and Nexus 100ml Shortfill Sour Blue Raspberry on the berry side, and to Nexus 100ml Shortfill Lemon Lime Sorbet on the citrus-and-cool side. If you like raspberry but are unsure about mint, the Lime Raspberry Grapefruit bottle is the more tart, mint-free alternative.

Bottle design and build quality

The bottle is a standard squeezable plastic shortfill container, the kind designed to be refilled into a tank by hand. The body is soft enough to squeeze gently, which gives you control over how much liquid leaves the nozzle. A narrow tip lets you aim at a tank fill port rather than pouring blindly, and a cap seals the nozzle between uses. At £3.50 for the whole bottle, you should not expect premium packaging, but you can reasonably expect a clean seal and a legible label.

On arrival, run a quick check. The points below take thirty seconds and save problems later.

• Seal and cap: the cap should be firm, and any tamper-evident ring should be intact.
• Leaks: turn the bottle upside down over a paper towel for a few seconds. A bead of liquid at the tip is normal, a stream is not.
• Label: look for the liquid volume, the VG/PG ratio, the ingredients list, the batch number and a best-before date.
• Nozzle fit: some tank fill ports are narrow, so test the tip against your tank before you try to fill it.

The nozzle is the part most worth a note. Large shortfill bottles have a fairly wide nozzle for the volume they hold, and some tanks, especially small pod-style refill holes, will not accept it directly. If that is your situation, a blunt-tip refill syringe or a thin-nozzle empty bottle is a cheap fix. Transfer a small amount into the narrower container rather than forcing the tip, because forcing it is the usual cause of spills and cracked fill-port plugs.

A transparent or translucent bottle makes it easy to see how much you have left, but it also means light can reach the liquid. Store the bottle somewhere cool and dark, a cupboard or drawer rather than a windowsill or a car. Heat and sunlight degrade flavouring and darken the liquid over time.

When the bottle is empty, rinse it with warm water, let it dry, and put the plastic in your household recycling if your council accepts rigid plastic bottles, which most do. Check the symbol on the bottle and your local council guidance, since rules differ between areas. Small caps and nozzles are sometimes too small to be sorted in recycling plants, so ask your council whether to leave them on or bin them. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink, and keep any empty nicotine shot bottles separate and rinsed before recycling in the same way.

Performance, throat hit and how many puffs a bottle gives

A bottle of e-liquid has no puff counter, so the only honest way to talk about performance is to estimate it from how much liquid you use. As a planning figure, one millilitre of e-liquid gives roughly 100 to 250 puffs, depending on how hard and how long you draw, the wattage you use, and the type of coil. Short, gentle mouth-to-lung draws on a higher-resistance coil sit at the upper end of that range. Long, direct-to-lung draws on a low-resistance mesh coil sit at the lower end. Applying that to a bottle with 70ml to 100ml of liquid, the total is somewhere between 7,000 and 25,000 puffs, which is far beyond any disposable on the market.

Time is a more useful measure than puffs. How long a bottle lasts depends on daily use.

• Light use, 1 to 2ml a day: a 70ml to 80ml bottle lasts around five to eleven weeks.
• Moderate use, 3 to 4ml a day: roughly two to four weeks.
• Heavy sub-ohm use, 5 to 8ml a day: around ten days to two weeks.

Throat hit is the sensation at the back of the throat as you inhale. At 0mg it is mild, because most of the harshness in vaping comes from nicotine. A VG-led liquid is smoother still. What you get instead is vapour volume and flavour, which are the two things a sub-ohm setup is designed to deliver. If you add nicotine, throat hit rises with strength, and at 3mg to 4mg on a sub-ohm tank it is noticeable but usually comfortable.

Vapour production depends on the VG content and on the power your device sends to the coil. High-VG liquid creates dense clouds on a tank rated for it and flatter, wetter vapour on a small pod kit with a tight coil. If the vapour feels thin or the draw feels dry, the liquid is rarely the cause. It is far more likely the coil is worn, the tank is under-filled or the airflow is set too wide.

Flavour intensity is moderate. This is a budget-priced shortfill, so it does not aim for the layered complexity of dessert blends or premium craft liquids, but a clean fruit-and-mint profile is a reasonable thing to ask of it. If you vape through the day, vaper's tongue can make any flavour fade after a few hours, and switching to a different flavour, or none at all for twenty minutes, usually brings the taste back.

Choosing a nicotine strength if you want one

This bottle ships at 0mg. If you want nicotine, you add 10ml shots, and the final strength depends on how many you add and how much liquid is in your bottle. UK law caps nicotine in any e-liquid at 20mg/ml, and the same 20mg limit is the reason shots come in 10ml bottles. You can work out the result yourself with a simple formula.

Final strength in mg/ml = (number of shots × shot strength × 10) ÷ (liquid volume in ml + number of shots × 10).

Here are worked examples for the two most common fill volumes, assuming standard 18mg shots. Check your own label before you rely on them.

• 70ml of liquid plus one 18mg shot: 180 ÷ 80 = about 2.25mg/ml.
• 70ml plus two 18mg shots: 360 ÷ 90 = 4mg/ml.
• 70ml plus three 18mg shots: 540 ÷ 100 = 5.4mg/ml.
• 80ml plus one 18mg shot: 180 ÷ 90 = 2mg/ml.
• 80ml plus two 18mg shots: 360 ÷ 100 = 3.6mg/ml.

If your shots are 20mg, the numbers rise slightly. Two 20mg shots in an 80ml bottle give 400 ÷ 100 = 4mg/ml.

As a rough guide to choosing, think about how you vape rather than how much you smoked.

• 0mg: for vapers who want flavour and vapour only, for people who have finished stepping down, and for anyone who simply never wanted nicotine in a refillable setup.
• 2mg to 3mg: light smokers and people stepping down who vape on a sub-ohm tank with big draws.
• 4mg to 6mg: the practical ceiling for a shortfill. This suits a former smoker who wants a modest hit on a lower-powered kit.

Be realistic about the ceiling. A 100ml shortfill cannot reach the 10mg to 20mg strengths used in nic salt pods and mouth-to-lung devices. If you smoked heavily and still need a strong nicotine hit, a 10ml nic salt bottle is the more suitable product, and the shortfill can be a second, nicotine-free or low-strength liquid for relaxed use.

The NHS describes vaping as far less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and it is not recommended for people who do not already smoke. Nicotine is addictive. Do not start adding shots if you are a non-smoker, and keep all nicotine products away from children and pets. If you are using nicotine to quit smoking, a local stop smoking service can help you plan a step-down.

Matching it to the right tank and coil

The coil is where e-liquid becomes vapour, so the pairing between liquid and coil matters more than almost anything on the label. A VG-led shortfill like this one is meant for refillable tanks with low-resistance coils, typically those rated 0.15 to 0.6 ohms, in kits that can supply between 25W and 60W. These are usually called sub-ohm tanks. Most modern sub-ohm tanks use mesh coils, which are thin sheets of metal with a large surface area. Mesh heats evenly, wicks thick liquid quickly and tends to deliver good flavour, which is why it is the standard choice for liquids in this style.

There are a few combinations to avoid.

• Disposables and sealed prefilled pods: these cannot be refilled and should never be opened, so this bottle is not for them.
• Tight mouth-to-lung pod coils around 0.8 to 1.2 ohms: high-VG liquid is too thick for many of them and can cause dry hits and gurgling. Only use it if the manufacturer states the coil is suitable for 70VG liquid.
• Very small refill holes: use a syringe or a smaller bottle to transfer the liquid.

UK rules also limit refillable tanks to a 2ml capacity in the products sold here, and a sub-ohm tank can easily empty a tank in an hour or two of steady use. Refilling often is normal, and the large bottle exists precisely to make that cheap.

Coil life is another variable. A mesh coil typically lasts one to three weeks depending on power, flavour and how well it is primed. Sweet fruit liquids deposit sugars on the coil over time, which is called gunk, and the tell-tale sign is a darkened coil and a dull or slightly burnt flavour. Lime and mint bring sharper flavouring compounds, and some vapers find coils on cooling liquids dull a little faster. Swap the coil as soon as the taste fades rather than waiting for it to burn.

• Prime every new coil: put a few drops straight onto the exposed cotton and let it soak for five to ten minutes after filling.
• Start at the lower end of the coil wattage range: and climb in small steps.
• Use airflow to tune the flavour: tighter airflow concentrates mint and lime, wider airflow cools and softens them.

If you are building on a budget, a straightforward sub-ohm kit with replaceable mesh coils will serve this liquid well, and the same kit will take any of the other Nexus flavours without a rinse, aside from a quick tank clean when you change flavour to avoid ghosting.

Battery, charging and responsible disposal for the kit you pair it with

The bottle has no battery, so charging and run time depend entirely on the device you use. It still helps to understand what your equipment needs. Pod-style refillable kits typically carry a built-in battery between 600mAh and 1,500mAh, which suits lower-wattage coils. Sub-ohm kits either have a larger built-in battery of roughly 1,500mAh to 3,000mAh, or take one or two removable 18650 cells that are commonly rated between 2,500mAh and 3,500mAh. Higher capacity means longer between charges, but wattage matters just as much. A 40W setup drains a battery much faster than a 12W one.

As a rough guide, a built-in 2,000mAh battery running a sub-ohm coil at 30W to 40W often lasts most of a day for a light to moderate vaper, and a heavy vaper might charge once or twice daily. USB-C is the common charging standard, and a full charge typically takes between one and two hours on a decent charger.

• Use the cable and charger supplied: or a reputable, certified replacement.
• Do not leave a battery charging unattended or overnight: and never charge on a soft surface like a bed or sofa.
• Carry spare 18650 cells in a case: never loose in a pocket with coins or keys.
• Stop using damaged or swollen batteries: and never try to repair them.

Fire risk from lithium batteries is the main safety issue in vaping, and it is almost always caused by damage, misuse or poor charging, not by the e-liquid. Buy cells and chargers from reputable suppliers, and match the cell's current rating to your device.

When a device or battery reaches the end of its life, do not put it in your household bin or your kerbside recycling. Vaping devices and loose batteries are classed as waste electrical and electronic equipment, and batteries inside bin lorries and sorting plants are a recognised cause of fires. UK retailers that sell vapes are required to take back old devices, and your local household waste recycling centre has a drop-off point for small electricals and batteries. Many supermarkets also have battery collection boxes. Used coil heads are small and mostly metal and cotton, so check with your local council or retailer on how to dispose of them. If you are asked to remove the battery before drop-off, do it only if the design allows it and you can do so safely.

Disposable vapes were banned from sale in Great Britain from 1 June 2025, which is one reason refillable kits and shortfills are in demand. A refillable setup is a more durable and cheaper way to vape, and this bottle slots into that kind of setup.

Who this bottle is for, and who should skip it

The answer to who benefits depends on how you vape and what you want to pay. This bottle is a good match for several kinds of adult user, and a poor one for others.

It suits:

• Existing refill vapers on a budget: £3.50 for a large bottle is a low price and keeps the running cost down if you go through several millilitres a day.
• People who prefer nicotine-free vaping: 0mg as supplied means no extra step, and it avoids shots altogether.
• Vapers stepping down from nicotine: mixing the bottle with different numbers of shots lets you reduce strength gradually, from around 4mg to 2mg to 0mg, without changing flavour.
• Fans of fruit-and-mint flavours: particularly raspberry or citrus lovers who want something fresher than a sweet dessert or candy liquid.
• Sub-ohm tank owners: the VG-led format, if confirmed on your label, is what these tanks are made for.

It is a weak fit for:

• Anyone using disposables or sealed prefilled pods: this liquid cannot be used in them.
• People who need strong nicotine: if you require 10mg or 20mg, a nic salt bottle is more suitable, as the shortfill format tops out around 5mg to 6mg.
• Anyone who dislikes cooling or mint: the name signals freshness, so a mint-free fruit like Pear Apple Raspberry may be a better pick.
• Vapers who want a very small, pocketable setup: a 100ml bottle is bulky, although you can decant into a small bottle for travel.
• Non-smokers and under-18s: vaping is for adult smokers who want an alternative, and it is illegal to sell to anyone under 18.

If you are still deciding, consider starting with a different 100ml Nexus flavour at the same £3.50 price. Because every flavour in the range costs the same, you can pick on taste alone without worrying about price differences. Popular alternatives include Nexus 100ml Shortfill Strawberry Watermelon Kiwi, Nexus 100ml Shortfill Blue Razz Cherry Blast, Nexus 100ml Shortfill Berry Lemon Ice and Nexus 100ml Shortfill Rainbow.

How to mix, steep, fill and store it

Using a shortfill is simple once you have done it a couple of times. The steps below cover the full process for a nicotine-free bottle and for one with added shots.

• 1. Wash and dry your hands: and clear a flat, stable surface with a paper towel under the bottle.
• 2. Open the bottle: by removing the cap and pulling off the nozzle if it comes off. Many shortfills allow the tip to be pulled out so you can pour a shot in.
• 3. Add the nicotine shot or shots: if you want nicotine. Squeeze in the contents of each 10ml shot bottle, and make sure the bottle can take them all with the headroom printed on the label.
• 4. Refit the tip and cap: tightly.
• 5. Shake for at least 30 to 60 seconds: so the shot is fully blended.
• 6. Label the bottle: with the nicotine strength and the date, especially if there are other people in your home.

Steeping is the resting period that lets flavours blend. Fruit and mint liquids generally taste fine straight away, but a rest of 24 to 48 hours after adding shots can improve smoothness, and shaking the bottle each day helps. Loosen the cap briefly to let any trapped air out. This is called breathing, though it matters more for dark tobacco and dessert flavours than for a light fruit profile like this one.

To fill your tank, follow the manufacturer's instructions for your device. Typically, you open the fill port, tilt the tank slightly and run the liquid down the inside wall, taking care not to flood the central airflow tube. Leave a small air gap at the top. After filling, wait five to ten minutes before your first puff so the coil can saturate. For the first draws on a new coil, use a lower wattage and take gentle puffs.

• Storage: cool, dark and upright, away from heat sources and direct sun.
• Child and pet safety: keep the bottle and any nicotine shots out of reach and sight.
• Shelf life: follow the best-before date on the label. Once shots are added, aim to use the bottle within a few months, because nicotine can darken the liquid and change the taste over time.
• Spills: wipe them quickly, because e-liquid can stain surfaces and nicotine liquid can irritate skin.

Troubleshooting flavour, leaks and burnt hits

Most problems with shortfills come from the interaction between liquid, coil and technique, not from a faulty bottle. Here are the common issues and what to try.

• Weak or muted flavour: first check the coil. If it is more than one to two weeks old or looks dark, replace it. Then check the wattage, because too much power flattens mint and lime. If you have vaped the same flavour all day, give your palate a break, since vaper's tongue is real and temporary.
• Burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry hit. The coil has not been fully soaked, the tank is nearly empty or you are chain vaping faster than a thick liquid can wick. Refill, prime the coil and lower the power. If the burnt taste persists after a new coil, the coil may have been damaged during installation.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid is reaching the coil. Do not overfill the tank, try opening the airflow slightly and wipe away condensation from the drip tip.
• Leaking tank: check that the tank is assembled firmly, that the O-rings are seated and that the fill port is closed. Thick liquid in a very low-resistance coil on a low wattage can also flood the chamber, so raise the power within the coil's rated range.
• Thin or weak vapour: verify the coil rating matches your power setting, check that your battery is charged and make sure the airflow is not blocked.
• Throat hit too harsh after adding shots: you may have added too many. Dilute with an extra 0mg bottle of the same flavour, or lower the wattage.
• Liquid looks darker over time: a gentle colour change is normal as flavours and nicotine age, but if there is a strong off smell or odd sediment, stop using it.
• Mint tastes stronger than expected: tighten the airflow slightly and lower the wattage, or mix the bottle with a mint-free 0mg Nexus flavour.

If a bottle arrives damaged, leaking or with a broken tamper seal, do not use it. Take photos, keep the packaging and contact the shop quickly so the problem can be resolved. A bottle that has been opened and used is treated differently from a faulty one, as covered in the questions below.

Value for money and honest comparisons

At £3.50 for a 100ml shortfill, this bottle is priced at the low end of the market. Work out the real cost per millilitre by dividing the price by the liquid volume on the label. At 70ml that is 5p per ml, and at 80ml it is about 4.4p per ml. Add nicotine shots if you want them. Shots vary by brand and offer, but they commonly cost somewhere between £1 and £1.50 each, so a bottle with two shots lands at roughly £5.50 to £6.50 for a full 100ml at around 3.6mg to 4mg. Always check current shot prices before you budget.

Here is how it compares with the other common ways to buy e-liquid.

• Against other 100ml shortfills: premium and mid-market brands often charge considerably more per bottle, and in return you may get more distinctive recipes, more detailed flavour descriptions and sometimes better packaging. Nexus competes on price and on a wide choice of flavours, not on craft complexity.
• Against larger 200ml shortfills: bigger bottles can lower the cost per millilitre further, but they cost more upfront and are harder to store and decant. Compare price divided by liquid volume on the label, not the number on the front of the bottle.
• Against 10ml nic salt bottles: nic salts are far more expensive per millilitre, but they deliver higher nicotine in a smaller volume and suit low-power pod kits. The shortfill wins on cost and vapour, and nic salts win on nicotine strength and portability.
• Against disposables: disposable vapes are now banned from sale, and even before the ban, a refillable kit with shortfill was cheaper per day for regular use. The trade-off is the upfront cost of a kit and a little more upkeep.

There are honest downsides. The listing gives limited technical detail, with no published VG/PG ratio or tasting notes, so you rely on the label for that. A budget bottle will not match the layered depth of a dessert-focused premium liquid. A 100ml bottle of a single flavour can also lead to flavour fatigue, which is a real consideration if you like to rotate. A reasonable approach is to buy one or two bottles from the range, such as this one and a mint-free fruit like Nexus 100ml Shortfill Pineapple Passion Lime or Nexus 100ml Shortfill Mango Strawberry Peach, and alternate.

Overall, this is a sensible, low-cost way to refill a sub-ohm tank with a fresh raspberry-and-mint profile, provided your equipment suits a thick liquid and you are happy to add your own nicotine if you want any.
