Nexus Pear Apple Raspberry 100ml Shortfill: Overview

Nexus 100ml Shortfill Pear Apple Raspberry is a large bottle of nicotine-free fruit e-liquid, listed on VapeShopOnline at £3.50 for 100ml at 0mg. Three fruits share the name: pear, apple and raspberry. It is sold as a shortfill, which means the bottle holds far more liquid than the 10ml limit that applies to bottles containing nicotine, and it is supplied with no nicotine in it at all. The bottle itself is normally bigger than the liquid inside, which leaves headroom for up to two 10ml nicotine shots if you want to mix a low strength of your own. Leave it alone and it stays a 0mg liquid.

The price is the first thing most buyers notice. At £3.50 for 100ml, the cost works out at 3.5p per millilitre, which is low even by the standards of 100ml shortfills. Ten separate 10ml bottles of ready-mixed nicotine e-liquid would normally cost a good deal more for the same volume. A low price tells you nothing about flavour quality on its own, so this guide goes through what the liquid is, how it behaves in a tank, what hardware suits it, and where it falls short, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

A few quick facts to frame the rest of the page:

• Product: Nexus 100ml Shortfill Pear Apple Raspberry.
• Price: £3.50 for the bottle.
• Volume: 100ml of e-liquid.
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg/ml, with room to add shots.
• Flavour family: fruit, built from pear, apple and raspberry.
• Hardware: refillable tanks and pod-mod kits, not a disposable.
• Age restriction: 18+ only.

One point is worth making clearly at the start. This is a liquid, not a device. There is no puff count printed on the bottle, because the number of puffs you get depends on your tank, your coil and how you draw. Since the UK ban on single-use vapes came into force on 1 June 2025, refillable kits and bottled e-liquid have become the route for adults who want a fruit-flavoured vape without throwaway hardware. A shortfill like this one suits that route well, provided you are happy to fill a tank yourself.

Flavour Profile: Pear, Apple and Raspberry Layer by Layer

Fruit trios can end up muddy, with one note flattening the others, so it is fair to ask how these three fit together. Going by the recipe name and how these fruits normally behave in e-liquid, the blend sets a soft, juicy fruit against a tart berry. Individual palates differ, and flavour is the one thing a spec sheet cannot settle, so treat the notes below as a guide rather than a promise.

• Pear: a gentle, rounded sweetness with a slightly grainy, watery juiciness. In vape liquids pear usually reads as soft and mellow rather than sharp, which makes it a good base for the other two fruits to sit on.
• Apple: a crisp, clean sweetness that brightens the middle of the draw. Apple tends to add freshness without sourness unless the recipe pushes a green or tart variety.
• Raspberry: the loudest of the three. Raspberry brings a sweet-tart berry note with a faintly jammy edge, and it usually dominates the exhale.

The listing tags this flavour with raspberry, apple, pear and mixed berries. That suggests a profile that leans towards a sweet berry finish with a lighter orchard fruit body underneath, instead of a three-way even split. If you like the idea of a pear drop or a fruit cocktail with a berry kick, that is roughly the territory.

There is no menthol or ice in the name. That matters if you have been vaping cooling flavours and want something warmer and more rounded. The aftertaste should be fruity and lightly sweet rather than minty or chilled. If you want a cold finish, the Nexus range has other variants, and you can compare them on our Nexus 100ml shortfill listings.

Temperature changes how the blend comes across. At lower power the pear and apple are easier to pick out and the raspberry is brighter and sharper. As you raise the wattage, the raspberry turns jammier and the sweetness builds, and the lighter fruits can recede. Most people settle somewhere in the lower to middle part of their coil's recommended range, where all three notes are still audible. It is worth spending a tank or two finding that point before judging the flavour.

Specifications and What to Check on the Label

Because batches and label designs get updated, the printed bottle in your hand is always the final authority. What follows is what the listing confirms and what you should look for on the label when your order arrives.

• Confirmed from the listing: 100ml shortfill format, 0mg nicotine, fruit flavour, £3.50.
• Bottle capacity: 100ml shortfills are very often supplied in a 120ml bottle so that two 10ml shots fit. Check the label for the stated headroom before you add anything, and never fill beyond the total capacity.
• VG/PG ratio: this controls how thick the liquid is and how it feels in the throat. The ratio is printed on the bottle. Read it before you choose a coil, because it affects which hardware will wick well.
• Batch code and best-before date: both should be printed. Keep the batch code if you ever need to contact us about a bottle.
• Health warnings and age marking: required on UK e-liquid packaging. Their absence is a reason to raise a query.

It helps to understand what the VG/PG split does. Vegetable glycerine (VG) is thick and produces dense vapour with a soft throat feel. Propylene glycol (PG) is thinner, carries flavour sharply and gives a little more throat hit. A high-VG liquid generally suits sub-ohm hardware with large wicking ports. A more balanced split flows through cotton more easily and tends to work in a wider range of devices, including some lower-power pod kits. We do not quote a ratio for this bottle here, because a wrong number would send you towards the wrong coil. Look at the label and match your hardware to it.

Likewise, there is no puff count to quote and no battery or coil built into the product, because none of those belong to a bottle of liquid. What a buyer can reasonably rely on is the volume, the nicotine strength, the price and the flavour family, and those are all stated above. For everything else, use the label and the comparison tips later in this guide, and ask us if anything on your bottle does not match what you expected.

Performance and Puff Delivery in Real Use

Since the bottle has no puff counter, the useful question is how many draws a 100ml fill will give you. The honest answer is a range. A single draw on a tank uses somewhere between a few hundredths and a tenth of a millilitre, depending on wattage, draw length and coil size. Working on roughly 50 to 150 draws per millilitre, a 100ml bottle covers several thousand draws in total. That is an estimate rather than a measured figure for this product, but it gives a sensible sense of scale: this is a bottle that lasts weeks, not days.

How long it lasts in calendar terms depends on how much you vape each day:

• Light use, about 2ml a day: around seven weeks.
• Moderate use, about 4ml a day: around three to four weeks.
• Heavy use, 6ml or more a day at higher wattage: two to three weeks.

Vapour production on a shortfill is driven by your device more than the liquid. In a sub-ohm tank with a mesh coil you can expect dense vapour and a smooth draw, and at 0mg the throat hit is minimal. In a smaller pod-mod kit the vapour is lighter and the flavour more concentrated. If you add nicotine, a low strength gives a slight warmth on bigger draws without the sharpness that higher strengths bring.

Wicking decides whether you get consistent performance. Thicker liquids need a moment to soak into the cotton, and chain vaping at high wattage can outrun the coil and give a dry, burnt hit. The fixes are simple: keep the tank at least a third full, take slightly longer breaks between draws, and make sure the airflow is not so open that it cools the coil too much. Sweet fruit liquids can also coat a coil over time, so if the flavour fades after a week or so, a new coil usually restores it. Expect to replace a coil roughly every one to two weeks with sweetened fruit liquids, depending on how hard you drive it.

Bottle Design, Cap and Packaging Build Quality

With e-liquid, build quality comes down to the bottle, the cap and the nozzle, since you handle all three every time you refill. Shortfill bottles in this price class are normally made of soft plastic with a long, narrow nozzle. The soft sides let you squeeze a controlled stream, and the thin tip fits the small fill ports on modern tanks without spilling. The listing does not describe the exact moulding of this particular bottle, so here is what to check when it arrives.

• Seal: there should be an intact tamper-evident ring or foil under the cap. If it is broken, or the bottle is leaking, contact us before you use it.
• Child-resistant closure: UK e-liquid packaging carries one. Keep it fitted whenever the bottle is not in use.
• Label legibility: flavour name, 0mg strength, VG/PG ratio, batch code, best-before date and warnings should all be readable and not smudged.
• Headroom marking: the label or bottle should show how much space is left for nicotine shots.

Good handling habits make a real difference to how a bottle performs over its life. Wipe the nozzle after each fill so residue does not collect and drip. Store the bottle upright, away from direct sunlight and heat, because warmth speeds up oxidation, which darkens the liquid and dulls the flavour. Keep the cap tight between fills so the liquid does not pick up dust or air. Fruit liquids with a lot of sweetener can leave a sticky film on the nozzle, so a quick wipe saves a mess in a bag or pocket.

If you add nicotine shots, label the bottle with the strength and the date. A 120ml bottle at a low nicotine strength still contains nicotine, and it should be kept out of reach of children and pets. If you live with others, a clear label is a small step that avoids a serious mistake.

At the end of its life, rinse the empty bottle and check your local council's guidance on small plastic bottles. Kerbside rules vary, so if in doubt take it to a household waste recycling centre. Devices and batteries are a separate matter. They should go to a retailer take-back point or a recycling centre drop-off, and never in household bins or kerbside recycling.

Device Pairing: Batteries, Charging and Power

A shortfill has no battery of its own, so questions about charging are really questions about your device. That device shapes how this liquid tastes, so it deserves some attention before you fill it.

Most people use a liquid like this in one of three kinds of hardware:

• Pod-mod kits with a built-in battery, typically in the range of about 1,000mAh to 3,000mAh, charged over USB-C. These are compact and convenient, and many accept mesh coils.
• Box mods that take one or two removable 18650 or 21700 cells, paired with a sub-ohm tank. These give you the most control over power.
• Pen-style sub-ohm kits with an internal battery that charges through a cable. They sit between the other two in size and effort.

As a rough guide to battery life, a larger internal cell running at around 40W to 50W will usually cover a full day of moderate use. A smaller pod-mod battery at the same power will often need a top-up once or twice a day. Higher wattage empties a battery faster, and long, frequent draws shorten the time between charges. Match the device to your day: if you are out for twelve hours with no access to a charger, a bigger cell or a spare battery is worth having.

Sensible charging habits protect both the battery and your home:

• Use the cable supplied with the device or a reputable USB-C cable from a known brand.
• Charge from a standard wall adapter or a computer port. Avoid unbranded high-output chargers.
• Do not leave a device charging unattended overnight, and never charge on a bed or sofa.
• If your device uses removable cells, only use genuine branded batteries, carry spares in a plastic case rather than loose in a pocket, and retire any with torn wrappers.

When a battery eventually wears out, do not bin the device. Take it to a retailer take-back point or a household recycling centre that handles small electricals and batteries. That route keeps lithium cells out of refuse lorries, where damaged cells can cause fires.

Coil and Mesh Choices That Suit This Liquid

Coil choice affects how a fruit liquid feels more than almost any other factor, and it is where many first-time shortfill users go wrong. For a sweet blend like Nexus Pear Apple Raspberry, the right coil keeps the three fruits distinct. The wrong one makes them taste hot, flat and slightly burnt.

The key variable is the VG/PG ratio on your bottle. If the label shows a high-VG liquid, you want a coil with generous wicking. If the split is more balanced, a wider range of coils will work. Either way, mesh coils are a practical default for this kind of liquid, for these reasons:

• Surface area: a mesh sheet contacts the cotton across a wide area, so the liquid is heated evenly instead of at a single wire.
• Wicking: larger wicking ports and more exposed cotton help thicker liquid reach the heated surface quickly.
• Flavour clarity: even heating brings out more of the fruit and reduces the burnt hits that come from a starved coil.
• Vapour volume: more heated area produces more vapour for the same wattage.

Typical resistance bands and what they do:

• 0.15 to 0.2 ohm: high-power coils, often run at 50W to 80W. Large clouds and fast liquid use. Sweet fruit can taste hot and muted if pushed too hard.
• 0.2 to 0.3 ohm: a flexible middle band, commonly around 35W to 60W. A reasonable balance of flavour, vapour and battery life.
• 0.3 to 0.4 ohm: lower power, often 25W to 40W. Cooler, calmer flavour with less vapour and lower liquid use.

If you use a small pod kit with a higher-resistance coil, often between 0.6 and 1.2 ohm, the draw is tighter and the power lower. Check that the VG level suits the coil, since a very thick liquid can struggle to wick in a tight coil. A balanced ratio is usually easier on that hardware. Always follow the wattage range printed on the coil, because every design has its own limits. Prime each new coil by dripping a little liquid directly onto the cotton and letting the filled tank sit for five to ten minutes. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt first coil.

Choosing Your Nicotine Strength

This bottle is supplied at 0mg, so the nicotine decision is yours. Under UK rules, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, the same ceiling that applied to disposables before they were banned, and bottles containing nicotine are limited to 10ml. That second rule is the reason shortfills and separate nicotine shots exist. A shortfill is not a nicotine product until you add the shots.

The arithmetic is simple. Final strength equals total nicotine added divided by total volume. For a 100ml fill in a 120ml bottle:

• No shot: 0mg/ml.
• One 10ml shot at 18mg/ml: 180mg across 110ml, about 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 18mg/ml: 360mg across 120ml, which is exactly 3mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots at 20mg/ml: 400mg across 120ml, about 3.3mg/ml.

These figures show the ceiling of the format. A 100ml shortfill tops out at around 3mg/ml with two shots, so if you need 6mg/ml or more, or a nicotine salt, the format is the wrong tool. A 10ml nicotine salt, or a stronger 50/50 liquid, will suit tight pod devices and heavier smokers better.

A rough way to pick a starting point:

• Vaping for flavour, or already at 0mg: leave the bottle unmixed.
• Light vaper or someone cutting down: try about 1.6mg/ml with one shot.
• Moderate vaper coming down from a higher strength: 3mg/ml with two shots, particularly at 40W and above.
• Someone who smoked heavily and needs a higher hit: speak to a pharmacist or local stop-smoking service about options. A sub-ohm shortfill at 3mg/ml may feel too light.

Start low. You can always add a shot to the next bottle, but you cannot remove nicotine once it is mixed in. Nicotine shots are sold separately, and many are made in a 50/50 base, so a mix can end up slightly thinner than the shortfill alone. If you are not currently using nicotine, there is no reason to start: this bottle works as supplied, and this product is for adults aged 18 or over only.

Who This Bottle Suits and Who Should Pick Something Else

No single e-liquid suits everyone, so it is better to be direct about who gets value from this one and who does not.

It is a good match for:

• People who already use a sub-ohm tank or a mesh-coil pod kit and want a large bottle at a low cost per millilitre.
• Fruit-flavour fans who like sweet, berry-led blends and do not want menthol or ice.
• Vapers at low strengths, from 0mg up to roughly 3mg/ml.
• Anyone comfortable mixing their own nicotine and keeping the finished bottle labelled and out of reach.
• Adults who used fruit disposables and have switched to a refillable kit since the single-use ban, and want a familiar style of flavour without throwing hardware away each week.
• Budget-conscious buyers who go through a lot of liquid and want to keep the monthly bill down.

It is probably not the right choice for:

• Anyone who needs strong nicotine. If you still need 10mg to 20mg/ml, a nicotine salt in a pod system is a more suitable route than a shortfill.
• People using a very small, low-power pod device that struggles with thick liquid, unless the label shows a balanced VG/PG split.
• Anyone who dislikes sweet flavours. If you prefer sour, tangy, tobacco or a strongly iced finish, look elsewhere in the range.
• First-time vapers who have never handled nicotine shots. Mixing is easy, but a pre-mixed nicotine e-liquid in a starter kit may be a gentler way in.
• Non-smokers and anyone under 18. Vaping is intended for adults who already smoke or vape. If you do not use nicotine, there is no health case for starting, and nobody under 18 should buy or use this product.

One honest caveat is worth stating. A very low price can mean a simpler flavour build than a premium shortfill, with less layering and less nuance across the draw. Many people are happy with a clear, sweet fruit profile for everyday use, and it is a sensible bottle for that role. If you want a complex, dessert-style or highly sculpted flavour, you may prefer to pay more for a specialist brand. The low cost of a 100ml bottle also makes it a cheap way to find out whether you like the profile before committing to a bigger spend on the same flavour family.

How to Mix, Fill and Vape It

A clean first experience comes down to a handful of simple steps. Here is a routine from bottle to first draw.

Step 1: Check the bottle. Confirm the seal is intact, the label shows 0mg, the batch code is readable and the VG/PG ratio is noted. Give the bottle a gentle shake.

Step 2: Decide on strength. Use the calculations in the nicotine section above. If you are staying at 0mg, skip to step 4.

Step 3: Add nicotine shots. Remove the cap and nozzle, pour in the chosen number of 10ml shots, and refit the nozzle and cap securely. Do not exceed the bottle's total capacity. Shake firmly for around thirty seconds, then leave the bottle for a few hours, ideally overnight, so the mix settles and the flavour evens out. Label it with the strength and date.

Step 4: Fill the tank. Open the tank's top-fill cover or slide it aside. Squeeze the bottle to fill slowly, keeping the nozzle away from the central airflow tube. Stop a little below the brim, leaving a small air gap. Close the cover firmly.

Step 5: Prime the coil. Let the filled tank sit for five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks fully. If the coil has been dry, this is not optional.

Step 6: Set the power. Choose a wattage near the lower to middle part of the coil's printed range. Take a few gentle, longer draws without holding the button for too long.

Step 7: Adjust. Raise the power in small steps until the flavour and warmth feel right. Open or close the airflow to taste. More airflow cools the vapour and softens the sweetness, while less airflow gives a warmer, denser draw.

Some practical habits help day to day:

• Top up before the tank falls below a third full, so the coil never runs dry.
• Rinse the tank and fit a fresh coil if you switch to a very different flavour, to avoid ghosting from the previous liquid.
• Keep a spare coil with you, since a burnt coil rarely recovers.
• Do not mix different nicotine strengths in one tank without recalculating, because it is easy to misjudge the final figure.

Adults only: keep the bottle, shots and device somewhere children and pets cannot reach.

Troubleshooting Burnt Taste, Weak Flavour and Leaks

Most problems with shortfills come down to wicking, coils or mixing. Here is a practical checklist for the issues vapers report most often.

• Burnt or harsh taste. Usually a dry or worn coil. Check the liquid level, let the coil soak for longer, drop the wattage and take slower draws. If the taste persists after a refill, replace the coil.
• Weak or muted flavour. Sweet fruit liquids can gunk up a coil. Try a fresh coil, a slightly lower wattage or more airflow. Also check that the nicotine shots were shaken in properly, since uneven mixing can taste flat. Some people also find that their flavour perception dulls when they vape the same sweet flavour all day, so a short break or a change of flavour can make a difference.
• Gurgling or spitting. This is excess liquid or condensation in the chimney. Wipe the tank, draw more slowly and avoid overfilling. A slightly more closed airflow can help.
• Leaking from the tank. Check that the seals and O-rings are seated, the coil is screwed in fully, and the tank is neither over-tightened nor overfilled. Leaks also show up when air pressure changes, such as on a flight or in a car climbing a hill.
• Dry hits though the tank is full. The wicking ports may be blocked or too small for the liquid. Choose a coil designed for the VG level on your label, prime it for longer and lower the wattage.
• Throat too harsh. Reduce the nicotine strength, use fewer shots next time, lower the wattage and open the airflow.
• Flavour changes over a few days. Oxidation happens in any opened bottle. Store the bottle cool and dark, keep the cap tight and use it within a reasonable time after opening.
• Sticky bottle or residue on the nozzle. Wipe with a dry tissue and avoid squeezing the bottle when closing it.

If you have tried these steps and something still seems wrong, such as a strange smell, a very different colour from the photos or a bottle that is leaking when new, stop using it and contact us with your order number and a photo of the label and batch code. A damaged or faulty item is something we want to resolve.

Finally, remember the basics. Do not use e-liquid that has separated badly, smells off or contains visible particles. Do not heat or microwave the bottle. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water, and if any is swallowed or gets in the eyes, seek medical advice at once.

Value for Money and Honest Comparisons

The fairest way to judge value is cost per millilitre and cost per day, not the headline price on the bottle. At £3.50 for 100ml, this bottle costs 3.5p per millilitre before any nicotine. If you vape 4ml a day, that is about 14p a day. At 6ml a day it is about 21p. Add the cost of nicotine shots if you use them, since each 10ml shot adds to the total. Even with two shots, the combined cost is normally well below the price of an equivalent volume of ready-mixed nicotine e-liquid.

Other running costs to budget for:

• Coils: sweetened fruit liquids can shorten coil life, so plan on a fresh coil every one to two weeks. Coils usually cost a few pounds each and are often sold in packs.
• Nicotine shots: one or two per bottle if you are not vaping at 0mg.
• Battery and charging: a small one-off cost for removable cells and a decent charger if you use a box mod.

Here is how it compares with the alternatives, stated fairly:

• Against other 100ml fruit shortfills: the format, 0mg strength and headroom are the same. This one sits at the lower end of the price range. A pricier bottle may offer more layered flavour, and we would not claim this one matches it. For a straightforward fruit profile at everyday volumes, the saving is real.
• Against Pod Salt Nexus 10mg: our catalogue lists a Pod Salt Nexus 10mg nicotine salt under the same flavour name. That is a different product for pod kits, with built-in nicotine at a higher strength in a 10ml bottle. If you want stronger nicotine or you use a small pod device, the salt is the more suitable choice. If you want a large, low-strength, low-cost bottle for a tank, the shortfill makes more sense.
• Against 10ml nicotine e-liquids: the shortfill is cheaper per millilitre for tank users, but it needs more effort and different hardware.
• Against disposables: single-use vapes can no longer be sold in the UK, so the comparison is mostly historic. A refillable kit with a shortfill is cheaper to run over time and creates less waste, though the upfront outlay for the kit is higher.
• Against larger 200ml bottles: a bigger bottle can lower the cost per millilitre further, but it commits you to one flavour for longer. At 100ml you can change before you get bored.

On balance, this bottle represents good value for adults who already own suitable hardware and are comfortable with a sweet fruit profile at 0mg or low nicotine. It is not the answer for everyone, which is why the sections above spell out who should look elsewhere.
