Nexus Pineapple Passion Lime 100ml shortfill at a glance

Nexus Pineapple Passion Lime 100ml Shortfill is a nicotine-free e-liquid supplied in a 100ml bottle that holds 70ml of flavoured liquid, leaving roughly 30ml of empty headroom so you can add nicotine shots if you want to vape with nicotine. The flavour is a tropical fruit blend: sweet, juicy pineapple at the front, a tart and slightly floral passion fruit through the middle, and a sharp lime finish that stops the sweetness from becoming heavy. It is aimed at people who prefer bright, juicy fruit liquids to dessert, tobacco or menthol profiles.

This guide explains how the product works, what the flavour is designed to deliver, which devices and coils suit it, how to calculate your nicotine strength, how to fill and look after it, and how it compares on value with similar shortfills. Everything is written for UK vapers, so the legal and practical details reflect how e-liquid is actually sold and used in Britain.

• Brand: Nexus
• Product type: shortfill e-liquid, no battery or device included
• Bottle size: 100ml bottle containing 70ml of e-liquid
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg, with space for up to two 10ml nicotine shots
• Typical base: high-VG, commonly 70VG/30PG on shortfills of this type, so always confirm the exact ratio printed on the label of the bottle you receive
• Best suited to: sub-ohm tanks, refillable pod kits that accept thicker liquids, and mesh coil devices at 0.6 ohm and below
• Flavour family: tropical fruit with a citrus finish

If you have only used disposables or pre-filled pods so far, a shortfill is a sensible next step. Since June 2025 the sale of single-use disposable vapes has been prohibited in England, Scotland and Wales, and many former disposable users have moved to refillable kits. A shortfill like this one costs less per millilitre than most pre-filled alternatives, produces far less waste, and lets you choose your own nicotine level rather than being locked to a fixed strength.

One point to be clear about from the start: this is a liquid, not a device. There are no puff counts, no built-in battery and no charging involved in the bottle itself. How long it lasts and how it feels depends on the device you pair it with, which is why later sections cover coils, wattage and batteries in detail.

How a 100ml shortfill works under UK rules

UK rules limit nicotine-containing e-liquid to bottles of no more than 10ml, with a maximum strength of 20mg/ml. Larger bottles can only be sold if they contain no nicotine. That is why Nexus Pineapple Passion Lime comes as a 100ml bottle with 70ml of 0mg liquid: because the liquid is nicotine-free, the 10ml bottle limit that applies to nicotine liquids does not apply to it. The empty space in the bottle is deliberate. It lets you add one or two 10ml nicotine shots, sold separately, and shake the bottle to mix them through.

The finished strength is simple arithmetic. Multiply the volume of each shot by its strength to get the total milligrams of nicotine, then divide by the final volume of liquid in the bottle. With the usual 18mg shots, the numbers work out like this:

• No shot: 70ml at 0mg/ml, for people who vape nicotine-free
• One 10ml 18mg shot: 80ml at about 2.25mg/ml
• Two 10ml 18mg shots: 90ml at 4mg/ml
• Three shots: technically 100ml at about 5.4mg/ml, but this fills the bottle to the brim and leaves no room to shake it, so two shots is the practical limit

For example, two shots give 20ml multiplied by 18mg, which is 360mg of nicotine, spread through 90ml of liquid. That is 360 divided by 90, or 4mg/ml.

Nicotine shots are sold separately and are usually a high-VG or balanced base. Adding them to a high-VG shortfill nudges the overall ratio a little towards PG, so the finished liquid is slightly thinner and gives a slightly firmer throat hit than the nicotine-free bottle alone. At one or two shots the change is small and every mainstream sub-ohm and mesh coil handles it comfortably.

A few legal and safety points apply to everything you buy for this bottle. You must be 18 or over to buy e-liquid or nicotine shots in the UK. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is intended for adults who already smoke or vape, not for non-smokers or young people. Keep nicotine shots and filled bottles out of reach of children and pets, and do not use nicotine products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without taking medical advice first. If you do not want nicotine at all, you can use the bottle as supplied and skip the shots entirely.

Flavour profile: what Pineapple Passion Lime tastes like

Pineapple Passion Lime is built as a three-note tropical fruit flavour. Taste is personal and varies with your device, wattage and nicotine level, but the profile below is what the recipe is designed to deliver and what liquids of this style generally taste like.

• Inhale: sweet, ripe pineapple arrives first, with the juicy, slightly acidic quality of fresh fruit rather than the syrupy taste of tinned pineapple chunks.
• Middle: passion fruit comes through as a tart, musky, slightly floral tropical note. It is the most distinctive part of the blend and the part that separates this flavour from a plain pineapple liquid.
• Exhale: lime cuts across the sweetness with a clean, zesty edge, and leaves a lightly sour finish that makes you want another draw.

The three fruits are chosen to balance each other. Pineapple supplies sugar and body, passion fruit supplies tartness and aroma, and lime supplies sharpness and a short, clean aftertaste. Without the lime the blend would drift towards a sweet tropical juice; without the pineapple it would turn sour and thin. The combination sits somewhere between a fruit punch and a tropical cocktail with the alcohol taken out.

Sweetness is moderate to fairly high, as you would expect from a fruit shortfill, but the acidity keeps it from coating the mouth. There is no menthol or cooling agent in the flavour as described, so the vapour feels warm and juicy rather than icy. If you like your fruit liquids chilled, a pinch of ice from a separate additive is possible, but most people who choose this flavour want the fruit left alone.

Wattage changes how the three notes show up. At lower power the pineapple and passion fruit dominate and the lime reads as a gentle lift on the exhale. At higher power the lime becomes sharper and more prominent, and the sugars in the pineapple can start to caramelise on the coil, which makes the taste flatter and slightly burnt-sweet. Starting in the lower half of your coil's recommended wattage range and moving up in small steps is the simplest way to find the point where all three fruits are audible.

Compared with other tropical blends, this one leans tart rather than creamy. It does not include dairy or custard notes, so it will not suit someone looking for a smooth, rounded dessert vape. It will suit anyone who enjoys sharp, sour-edged fruit sweets or tropical juices.

Vapour production and throat hit

Because this is a high-VG style shortfill, it is designed for devices that generate plenty of vapour at moderate to higher wattage. A 70VG/30PG ratio is a common balance in this category: enough VG for a satisfying cloud and a smooth inhale, enough PG to carry the flavour and keep the liquid wicking properly through the coil.

With nicotine-free liquid in a sub-ohm tank you can expect large, smooth inhales with very little throat hit. The tartness of the lime and passion fruit can give a slight tingle at the back of the throat that is a flavour effect, not nicotine. Adding nicotine shots increases throat hit in proportion to the strength you choose, and a higher PG share from the shots adds a little more.

How the liquid performs depends heavily on your device and settings:

• Sub-ohm tank at 40 to 70W: dense vapour and full flavour, the typical home for a high-VG shortfill. Lime is sharpest at the top of the range, so many people settle at 45 to 55W.
• Mesh coil at the middle of its recommended range: the most even flavour, with good definition between the three fruits and less chance of dry or burnt hits.
• 0.8 to 1.0 ohm coils in a refillable pod: tighter, mouth-to-lung style draws, less vapour but better flavour economy and longer liquid life.

A word on puff counts. Disposable vapes advertise puff numbers, but a bottle of e-liquid does not work that way, because consumption depends on wattage, coil, draw length and how often you vape. As a practical guide, a person using a sub-ohm tank might get through roughly 4 to 8ml of liquid per day, while a pod-style user might use 2 to 4ml. On that basis a 70ml bottle would last somewhere between about nine days of heavy sub-ohm use and a month or more of moderate pod use, and adding shots increases the quantity to 80 or 90ml.

Vapour temperature matters as well. Sweet, fruity liquids are more sensitive to heat than plain ones, because the sweeteners and fruit compounds break down faster at high temperature. If the taste starts to feel flat or slightly sharp in a way you did not expect, try dropping the wattage by 5 to 10W before changing anything else.

Bottle design, packaging and build quality

The bottle is a 100ml chubby-style container, usually made of soft plastic so that you can squeeze liquid out cleanly. It is designed to hold 70ml of liquid and leave headroom for shots. Because you are buying the liquid rather than hardware, build quality here means closures, labelling and how easy it is to refill a tank without a mess.

Here are the practical points to look for when your bottle arrives:

• Tamper-evident seal: the cap should have an intact ring or seal before first use. If it is already broken, contact the shop rather than using the bottle.
• Child-resistant closure: shortfill caps are designed so a child cannot easily open them, which usually means pressing and turning at once. It takes a moment to learn but is a safety feature worth keeping.
• Narrow nozzle: a thin-tipped dripper-style nozzle fits the filling ports on modern tanks and pods without spilling. Squeeze gently and steadily rather than hard.
• Label information: the label should state the product name, volume, nicotine content, VG/PG ratio, ingredients and warnings, as well as the batch or best-before information. Check these as soon as it arrives.

The size of the bottle is worth thinking about before you buy. A 100ml bottle is bulky for a jacket pocket, so many people keep it at home and refill a small travel bottle or pod for the day. If you do decanting, label your small bottle clearly, especially if you have added nicotine shots, and store it away from children.

Liquid colour is a quick check as well. This flavour usually looks pale yellow to light amber, and it can darken slightly over time as it is exposed to light and air. A change in shade does not by itself mean the liquid has gone off, but a strong off smell or separation that does not mix back after shaking is a reason to stop using it.

When the bottle is empty, rinse nothing into the sink and check how your local council handles plastic bottles that held e-liquid. Some accept clean empty bottles in household plastic recycling; others prefer them to go in general waste because of the residue. A quick look at your council's website will give you a definite answer for your postcode.

Devices and batteries that suit this e-liquid

A high-VG tropical fruit liquid like this one works best in one of three types of device, and each has its own battery considerations. The bottle itself has no battery, so everything about charging relates to the kit you choose.

• Sub-ohm tank kits: these use removable or built-in batteries, most often in the range of 2000mAh to 3000mAh for kits with a single 18650 cell, and larger for dual-cell mods. At 40 to 60W you will usually need to charge daily, sometimes twice a day if you vape heavily.
• Refillable pod kits: small devices with batteries from about 800mAh to 1500mAh. They run at lower wattage, typically 12 to 25W, so a battery will often last a day of light to moderate vaping, though a thicker 70VG liquid may need a pod designed for high-VG use.
• Mesh coil kits: a mid-sized device with a 1500 to 3000mAh battery and a mesh coil is arguably the simplest match for this liquid. Mesh heats evenly and handles sweeter fruit blends well.

A rough guide to battery life: a 1000mAh pod device at 15 to 20W may last half a day to a full day of moderate vaping, while a 3000mAh sub-ohm kit at 50W often needs recharging every day. These are estimates, not promises, and real life varies with resistance, coil age and how often you take a draw.

Charging safely matters whichever device you choose:

• Use the charging cable supplied with the device, or a good-quality USB-C cable from a known maker, with a UK-approved plug rated for the device.
• Do not charge overnight or leave a device charging unattended on a bed, sofa or other soft surface.
• Stop using any battery that is swollen, hot to the touch or damaged, and never carry loose lithium cells in a pocket with coins or keys.
• Replace damaged batteries and wraps rather than continuing with them.

When a vape device or battery reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household rubbish or ordinary recycling. Take it to a household waste recycling centre or an electrical recycling drop-off point, or hand it to a retailer that offers take-back. Lithium batteries in bins have caused fires at waste sites, so this is not an optional step.

Coil and mesh compatibility

The coil is where the liquid is heated, and it has the biggest single effect on how Pineapple Passion Lime tastes. The shortfill is thinner than a very high-VG liquid, so it suits a wide range of coil styles, with the following guidance helping you choose.

• Mesh coils (0.15 to 0.4 ohm): a mesh heating surface covers a large area and heats evenly. It gives good flavour definition and strong vapour, and it tends to resist dry hits better than traditional wire. For this liquid it is one of the most reliable options.
• Standard sub-ohm coils (0.3 to 0.5 ohm): round-wire coils with cotton wicking work well and are widely available. They may heat a little less evenly than mesh, so keep wattage in the lower to middle part of the range.
• Regular coils (0.6 to 1.0 ohm): suitable for refillable pod systems and MTL-style tanks. They use less power and give a tighter draw. A 0.8 ohm coil is a sensible choice if you want fruit flavour with lower liquid use.

Sweet fruit liquids tend to shorten coil life compared with plain or unsweetened ones, because sugars and flavour compounds leave a film on the coil. A typical coil running this flavour might last one to two weeks of regular use, sometimes longer at low wattage and sometimes shorter at high wattage. If the flavour starts to taste muted, burnt or sour in an odd way even after you refill and wait, replace the coil before blaming the liquid.

Good coil habits will help it last:

• Prime the new coil: drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton, fill the tank and wait five to ten minutes so the wick is fully saturated before you fire it.
• Take a few unpowered draws: this pulls liquid into the cotton and reduces the chance of a first-hit burn.
• Start low: begin at the lower end of the wattage range printed on the coil and move up gradually.
• Avoid chain-vaping: give the wick a few seconds between draws to re-saturate, especially with a thicker liquid.

High-VG liquids can struggle with the smallest wicking holes, so choose a coil with wider ports if you can. Always check the coil's recommended wattage range and stay within it, and make sure your device can actually supply the power the coil asks for. When in doubt, stay in the middle of the printed range.

Choosing your nicotine strength

Choosing the right nicotine level is the main decision when you buy a shortfill. Nexus Pineapple Passion Lime is supplied at 0mg, so you pick the strength by choosing how many shots to add. Here is a sensible way to think about it.

• 0mg (no shots): for people who vape purely for flavour or have already stepped down from nicotine. Vapour is smooth with minimal throat hit.
• About 2.25mg/ml (one 18mg shot): suits light smokers or people who have been vaping a while and are reducing. It works well in a high-powered sub-ohm tank because a large amount of vapour delivers a decent dose even at low strength.
• About 4mg/ml (two 18mg shots): suits moderate smokers moving across from cigarettes, particularly in a mesh kit or a lower-powered setup where each draw delivers less liquid.

As a general rule, the more power and airflow you use, the lower the nicotine strength you need, because each draw delivers more vapour. If you vape at 50W in a sub-ohm tank, a high strength can feel harsh and make you cough. In a small pod device at 15W, a very low strength can leave you unsatisfied and sipping constantly.

If you currently smoke around 10 or more cigarettes a day and need a higher strength than 4mg/ml, a 100ml bottle is probably not the easiest route, because you cannot add more than about three shots without reaching the brim. In that case, nicotine salt e-liquids in 10ml bottles, which are available at up to 20mg/ml in the UK, are usually a better fit with pod devices designed for them. A shortfill is a better match for people who use a larger device and a mid-to-low nicotine level.

Remember the legal ceiling of 20mg/ml applies to every nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK. Do not try to add extra nicotine from other sources to push a bottle above that, and do not assume that a higher number is the safer option for getting off cigarettes. Aim for the lowest strength that stops you reaching for a cigarette, and reduce gradually over time.

If you are unsure, start one step lower than you think you need. It is easy to add another shot to the next bottle, but impossible to remove nicotine from a finished one.

Who this shortfill is for, and who should skip it

Nexus Pineapple Passion Lime suits a specific kind of vaper, and it is just as useful to know who it does not suit.

It is a good match if you:

• Already own a refillable kit, such as a sub-ohm tank, mesh device or pod system that accepts thicker liquids.
• Enjoy tropical, tart or sour fruit flavours and want something fresher than a sugary berry blend.
• Vape enough that buying 10ml bottles repeatedly feels wasteful, and want to buy in larger volumes.
• Want to control your own nicotine strength, including reducing it over time by adding fewer shots.
• Are moving from disposables or pre-filled pods to something refillable and cheaper per millilitre.
• Prefer to vape nicotine-free and want a flavoured liquid without any nicotine added.

You may want to look elsewhere if you:

• Are under 18, do not currently smoke or vape, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. This product is not for you.
• Use a pod device that is sealed or closed-system and cannot be refilled. A shortfill will not fit it.
• Need a high nicotine strength of 10mg/ml or more, where nicotine salt liquids in 10ml bottles are a more practical option.
• Prefer creamy, dessert, tobacco or menthol flavours. This blend is tart and fruity rather than rich.
• Dislike sour or acidic notes. The lime and passion fruit are deliberately sharp.
• Want a pocket-sized product for travel. A 100ml bottle is better kept at home with a smaller bottle for carrying.

If you are not sure whether your kit is suitable, check its manual or product page for the supported VG/PG range and coil resistance. Most modern sub-ohm tanks and mesh devices are designed for 70VG liquids, while some compact pod systems are tuned for thinner 50/50 or nicotine salt liquids and may leak or wick poorly with high-VG juice.

For anyone trying to quit smoking, vaping is considered less harmful than smoking but is not risk-free. The NHS and local stop smoking services can offer additional support, and many people find that combining a vape with that support improves their chances of stopping completely.

How to use it: mixing, steeping and first fill

Getting the first fill right takes a few minutes and prevents most of the problems people run into with shortfills. Follow these steps whether you add nicotine or not.

• Step 1, decide on your strength. Work out how many shots you need using the table in the nicotine section. If you are vaping nicotine-free, skip to step 4.
• Step 2, open the bottle. Press and turn the child-resistant cap, then remove the nozzle insert if your bottle has a separate one.
• Step 3, add the shots. Pour or squeeze the contents of each 10ml shot bottle into the shortfill, leaving a little headroom at the top. Wipe up any drips straight away, since concentrated nicotine should not touch bare skin for long.
• Step 4, close and shake. Refit the nozzle and cap and shake the bottle firmly for about 30 seconds so the nicotine is distributed evenly. Shake again before first use and every few days afterwards.
• Step 5, steep if you want to. Steeping means leaving the bottle for a few hours or a day so the nicotine and flavours combine. This liquid is ready to vape immediately, but a short rest often rounds out the fruit.
• Step 6, fill your tank. Tilt the tank, place the nozzle against the filling port and squeeze gently. Do not overfill past the maximum line, and avoid covering the central airflow tube.
• Step 7, wait and prime. Leave a new coil for five to ten minutes after filling so the cotton can absorb the liquid, then take a few gentle draws without pressing the fire button.

Use these habits every time you refill to keep the experience consistent:

• Keep the tank at least a quarter full to avoid the coil running dry.
• Check airflow is set to a comfortable level; more open airflow gives cooler, larger vapour while a tighter airflow concentrates flavour.
• Wash your hands after handling nicotine shots and clean spills with a damp cloth.
• Record the date you added nicotine on the bottle with a marker so you remember the strength.

Do not add anything else to the bottle, such as flavour concentrates, sweeteners or non-vape ingredients, unless you are an experienced mixer who understands the effect on the finished liquid. Nexus has already balanced this recipe, and extra additives are more likely to change the taste in unpredictable ways than improve it.

Troubleshooting and storage

Most problems with shortfills come from the coil, the wattage or the way the bottle was handled, not from the liquid itself. Here is how to work through the common ones.

• Burnt taste: usually a dry or worn coil. Make sure the coil is primed, the tank is not running empty and the wattage is not above the coil's range. Replace the coil if the taste does not return after a fresh refill.
• Weak or muted flavour: often vape tongue, a tired coil or a very low wattage. Try a different flavour for a day, rinse your mouth, or change the coil.
• Sharp, harsh lime: lower the wattage by 5 to 10W, open the airflow slightly or leave the bottle to rest for a day or two so the flavours soften.
• Gurgling or spitting: a sign of too much liquid on the coil or a flooded chimney. Blow gently back through the mouthpiece, tilt the tank and wipe condensation away.
• Leaking from the tank: check that the coil is screwed in firmly, the tank is not overfilled and any seals are seated. Thicker high-VG liquid will leak less than thin liquid in the right coil, but a loose connection will leak whatever you use.
• Throat hit too strong: you may have added too much nicotine. Lower the strength on the next bottle, or reduce wattage and open the airflow.
• Coil gets dirty quickly: sweet fruit liquids leave residue faster. Replace coils more regularly and avoid very high wattage.

Storage makes a real difference to how a bottle ages:

• Keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or a car dashboard.
• Store the bottle upright with the cap firmly closed.
• Keep it well away from children, pets and food, especially once nicotine has been added.
• Use the liquid within the best-before date printed on the bottle, and note that nicotine slowly darkens e-liquid over months, which is normal.

If you ever suspect that a child or pet has swallowed e-liquid or nicotine, treat it as an emergency. Call NHS 111, 999 or your vet straight away and have the bottle to hand so you can read the label.

Never mix this liquid with another brand without understanding the VG/PG impact, and do not heat it outside a vape device.

Value for money and how it compares with similar shortfills

Value in a shortfill is mostly about price per millilitre, how long a bottle lasts and how good the flavour is across the whole bottle. A 100ml bottle with 70ml of liquid costs more up front than a small bottle but usually works out cheaper per millilitre, especially if you add shots and end up with 80 to 90ml of finished liquid. You will find the current price on the product page, and it is worth comparing the cost per millilitre rather than the headline price.

Here is how the format compares fairly with the alternatives you might be considering:

• 50ml shortfills from other UK brands: these are easier to carry and cheaper per bottle, and they are a good choice if you do not use much liquid. Per millilitre, a 70ml bottle is often better value, and one bottle replaces more than one smaller purchase. If you vape lightly or want to try several flavours, 50ml bottles let you vary more.
• 10ml nicotine salt bottles: these are convenient for small pod devices and come at higher strengths, up to the UK limit of 20mg/ml. They cost much more per millilitre, though, and a heavy user can spend noticeably more over a month than on a shortfill.
• Pre-filled pods: simple and tidy, but you pay more per millilitre, you cannot change strength and the waste is greater.
• Larger 200ml shortfills: better value per millilitre again for heavy users, but a big commitment to a single flavour and more liquid to use before it ages.

Within the Nexus range, Pineapple Passion Lime sits alongside other fruit-led flavours such as Lemon Lime Sorbet, which is more citrus and cooler on the exhale, and Fuji Apple Peach, which is gentler and softer in sweetness. If you like the lime in this bottle but find tropical fruit too sweet, Lemon Lime Sorbet is a sensible next flavour to try. If you want more berries and less tang, Blueberry Blackberry Lemonade or Grape Berry Burst may be closer to what you are after.

To be fair about the downsides: tropical fruit liquids with citrus can feel sharp to some palates, sweet flavours shorten coil life, and a 100ml bottle commits you to one flavour for a while. If you are new to this flavour, consider whether you are sure you will enjoy it for the whole bottle before buying, and think about buying a smaller bottle first if the shop offers one.

Overall, the value case is straightforward: a clear flavour, a flexible nicotine option, a sensible bottle size and a lower cost per millilitre than most alternatives, provided your device is suited to a high-VG liquid.
