Nexus 100ml Shortfill White Gummy Bear: overview and what you are buying

Nexus 100ml Shortfill White Gummy Bear is a sweet, fruit-led e-liquid sold in a 120ml bottle that holds 100ml of nicotine-free liquid, with empty space left at the top so you can add nicotine shots yourself if you want them. It belongs to the wider Nexus 100ml range, which we stock across a long list of fruit, sorbet and candy flavours, and it is aimed at adult vapers who use refillable tanks or refillable pod kits and would rather buy one large bottle than reorder 10ml refills every few days. In the UK, bottles of nicotine-containing e-liquid cannot be sold in sizes above 10ml, so the shortfill format is the normal route to buying liquid in bulk. The 100ml of liquid itself contains no nicotine, which is what allows it to be sold in a larger bottle.

The name points to a particular corner of the sweet shop. Gummy flavours in vaping try to capture the soft, chewy, slightly glossy sweetness of a gummy sweet, not just the fruit it is supposed to resemble. White gummy bears are also interpreted a little differently from one manufacturer to the next, which is why we spend a full section below on what you are likely to taste and where the honest limits of a written flavour description lie.

Here are the key facts at a glance.

• Product: Nexus 100ml Shortfill, White Gummy Bear flavour
• Type: shortfill e-liquid, supplied at 0mg nicotine
• Liquid volume: 100ml of liquid in a 120ml bottle, with room for up to two 10ml nicotine shots
• Typical blend: a high-VG mix of the kind used across the 100ml category, so always check the VG/PG split printed on the label of the bottle you receive
• Suited to: sub-ohm tanks, mesh coils and higher-wattage refillable pod devices
• Age restriction: 18 or over only, in line with UK law

It is worth saying plainly what this product is not. It is not a disposable, it has no battery and it does not work on its own. You need a refillable device to use it, and if you want nicotine you need to buy separate nicotine shots and mix them in. For anyone who already owns a suitable kit, that small amount of extra effort buys a much lower cost per millilitre than small bottles. The sections that follow cover how a shortfill works, the flavour, performance, build quality, the right coils and batteries, how to choose a strength, who the product suits, and how it compares with the alternatives.

How a 100ml shortfill works and why the bottle has empty space

A shortfill is simply a larger bottle that has deliberately not been filled to the top. Here the 120ml bottle contains 100ml of e-liquid, which leaves exactly enough room for two standard 10ml nicotine shots. The liquid contains no nicotine as supplied. Once you add shots you are mixing your own nicotine e-liquid at home, and the strength you end up with depends on how many shots you add and how strong each one is.

Nicotine shots are sold separately in 10ml bottles. They are normally a thin, high-PG liquid with a fixed nicotine strength, most often 18mg/ml or 20mg/ml. A shot is a nicotine base rather than a flavoured liquid, so adding it dilutes the flavour slightly. That is a normal and expected effect of every shortfill, and the usual reaction is that the flavour is still plainly there but a touch softer than at 0mg. The arithmetic is straightforward.

• No shots: 100ml at 0mg, for vapers who do not want nicotine
• One 18mg shot: 110ml at roughly 1.6mg/ml
• One 20mg shot: 110ml at roughly 1.8mg/ml
• Two 18mg shots: 120ml at 3mg/ml
• Two 20mg shots: 120ml at roughly 3.3mg/ml

Those numbers explain why 3mg/ml is such a common strength in the shortfill world. Two 18mg shots in a 120ml bottle land on exactly that figure, and the bottle size is designed around that sum. If you prefer something lighter, add a single shot and leave the bottle at 110ml.

There is also a legal side to the format. Under UK rules, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, refill bottles that contain nicotine are capped at 10ml, and refillable tanks are limited to 2ml of capacity. The 20mg/ml ceiling is the same one that applies to nicotine salt products and pre-filled pod devices, which is why 20mg turns up as the headline figure on so many UK products. Your finished shortfill mix will sit far below that ceiling, typically between 0mg and 3.3mg/ml, because a limited amount of nicotine is being spread through a large volume of liquid. You do not need any licence or special equipment to mix a shortfill, only a clean surface, the bottle and the shots.

White Gummy Bear flavour profile: what to expect on the inhale and exhale

Flavour is the whole reason to choose one bottle over another, so it deserves a careful and honest description. White Gummy Bear is a sweet, candy-style flavour. In many sweet brands the white gummy bear is the pale, lightly tangy one, and in e-liquid it is most often built around soft tropical or citrus-leaning fruit notes with a smooth, rounded sweetness underneath. Manufacturers do not publish full recipes, and the exact balance in this bottle may lean differently from the gummy bear you remember, so treat the description below as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Here is what most vapers can reasonably expect from a liquid in this style.

• Inhale: a bright, fruity sweetness that arrives quickly, often with a gentle tang at the edges that stops it tasting flat. The fruit tends to read as light and juicy rather than deep and jammy.
• Middle: the chewy, sugary body of a gummy sweet. This is the part of the profile that separates gummy flavours from plain fruit liquids, and it is what gives the vape a soft, slightly syrupy feel on the tongue.
• Exhale: a clean, sweet finish that fades without a heavy aftertaste. Because there is no menthol or ice component described for this flavour, you should not expect a cooling sensation on the exhale.

Sweetness is the dominant theme. If you enjoy dessert, candy and fruit-sweet liquids, this is likely to suit you. If you prefer dry, tobacco-led or mint-heavy profiles, it probably will not, and you would be happier with a different flavour family. A very sweet liquid is also worth keeping in mind when you think about coil life, because sweeteners can gradually leave a residue on the coil, and we come back to that in the troubleshooting section.

Temperature changes the picture noticeably. At lower wattage the fruit notes come through brighter and slightly tangier. At higher wattage the sweetness deepens and the vapour gets warmer, and at the top of a coil's range the sugars can start to taste caramelised. Most people settle somewhere in the middle of the coil's printed range. Shots also matter: one or two nicotine shots will thin the sweetness slightly, so if you like a strongly flavoured vape and are adding nicotine, a single shot rather than two is a reasonable compromise.

Finally, as with any gummy-style liquid, a few days of steeping can round the edges. We cover how to do that in the section on mixing and using your shortfill.

Performance: vapour production, throat hit and flavour delivery

Because this is an e-liquid rather than a device, there are no puff counts or battery claims to quote. What matters is how the liquid behaves in the equipment you put it in, and three characteristics decide most of that experience: the VG/PG balance, the nicotine strength you choose, and the power setting of your device.

Shortfills of this kind are commonly built on a high-VG base, often around 70% VG and 30% PG, although the exact split is printed on the bottle and you should rely on that rather than on our general description. Vegetable glycerine is thick and sweet and produces dense, smooth vapour. Propylene glycol is thinner, carries flavour well and delivers more of the throat sensation. A high-VG blend therefore tends to give these results.

• Vapour production: large, soft clouds on a sub-ohm tank, noticeably denser than a 50/50 liquid run in the same device.
• Throat hit: gentle at 0mg and light at 1.5 to 1.8mg/ml. At 3mg/ml in a high-powered tank it becomes more noticeable, though it is still a smooth, rounded sensation rather than a sharp one.
• Flavour delivery: clear and sweet, with the best definition on a mesh coil run in the lower to middle part of its wattage range.
• Draw feel: an airy, open draw suits the liquid, because thick liquid benefits from generous airflow.

It helps to be realistic about trade-offs. High-VG liquid in a sub-ohm tank is a high-consumption way to vape. You will use more liquid per day than you would with a pod kit and nicotine salts, and you will need to refill the tank more often. In exchange you get a large, flavourful vape that many people find more satisfying than a tight, restricted draw. Where your own balance falls depends on whether you value flavour and vapour or economy and discretion.

Consistency over the life of the bottle is generally good provided you keep the device clean and change coils when they are due. If the flavour seems to fade over several days, the cause is almost always the coil rather than the liquid, and a fresh coil usually brings it back. If you are new to shortfills, expect to spend a day or two finding the wattage and nicotine strength that suit you.

Bottle design, labelling and build quality

The bottle is the only physical product here, so it is worth looking at how it is made and what it is designed to do. The 120ml container is a soft plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, intended to let you squeeze liquid precisely into a tank fill port, and soft plastic also helps when you are decanting into a smaller bottle. A thin tip is important with modern tanks, whose fill ports are often tiny and sit close to the glass.

These are the features we look for in a 100ml bottle, and they are worth checking when yours arrives.

• Closure: a child-resistant cap with a tamper-evident ring or seal. Check that the seal is intact when the parcel arrives. If it has been broken, contact us before using the bottle.
• Nozzle: a narrow, firm tip that fits the fill ports on most sub-ohm tanks and does not drip once the bottle is released.
• Fill line and space: the headroom in the bottle for nicotine shots. If you are adding two shots, tip them in before you close the bottle and shake.
• Labelling: the flavour name, the VG/PG ratio, a batch number, the ingredients, the required warnings and the age restriction. Keep the label legible, because it is the source of truth for the VG/PG split and the batch information you may need if something goes wrong.
• Plastic: flexible but not flimsy, so it can be squeezed without collapsing or cracking when you shake in the shots.

A few practical points follow from this. Store the bottle upright, away from direct sunlight and heat, because warmth and light degrade e-liquid over time and can darken the colour. Keep the bottle out of sight and reach of children and pets, both because of the sweet flavour and because liquid that ends up with nicotine added is toxic if swallowed. Mark the bottle clearly with the strength and the date after you add shots, particularly if you keep several bottles of different strengths.

Empty bottles can often be recycled with household plastics, but practice varies by council, so rinse the bottle, remove the cap and check your local guidance. Nicotine shot bottles should be treated more carefully and disposed of according to your local authority's advice rather than assumed to be recyclable.

Coil and mesh technology: matching a device to this liquid

With a high-VG liquid, the device matters at least as much as the bottle. Thick liquid wicks more slowly than thin liquid, and a coil that cannot keep up gives dry hits and a burnt taste. The good news is that most current sub-ohm tanks are designed with exactly this kind of e-liquid in mind, and their coils are the reason shortfills work as well as they do.

These are the setups that suit a Nexus shortfill.

• Sub-ohm tanks with mesh coils: a mesh coil is made from a flat sheet of fine metal mesh rather than a round wire, which gives a large heating surface and quick wicking. Coils in the 0.15 to 0.4 ohm range commonly run at roughly 40 to 80W and cope well with thick, sweet liquids. This is the closest match for a 100ml shortfill.
• Sub-ohm tanks with round-wire coils: these work too, usually at somewhat lower wattage. They can give crisp flavour but are a little less forgiving of very thick or heavily sweetened liquid.
• Refillable pod systems with 0.6 to 0.8 ohm coils: these offer a tighter draw and generally run at around 15 to 30W. They can handle high-VG liquid as long as the wicking holes are large enough, so check the manufacturer's recommendation for your particular pod before you fill it.
• Mouth-to-lung devices with coils of 1.0 ohm or higher: these are a poorer fit for a high-VG shortfill because the small wicking ports struggle to saturate. If your device is built for nicotine salts, you will be happier with a nicotine salt liquid.

Priming a new coil is the single most useful habit you can build. Drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed cotton, fill the tank, and let it sit for five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks through completely. Then start at the low end of the coil's printed wattage range and work upwards a few watts at a time. Skipping this step is the most common reason for a burnt first few puffs, and a burnt coil cannot be recovered.

Sweet liquids put more strain on coils than unsweetened ones, because sweeteners can build up as a dark residue on the metal. Expect to replace a coil roughly every one to three weeks depending on your power setting and how heavily you vape. Check the coil markings for the resistance and the recommended wattage range, and match your settings to those rather than guessing.

Battery, wattage and charging for the device you pair it with

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery, so any charging question really relates to the device you use it in. The way you charge and the power you vape at both affect how the liquid performs, so it is worth covering here. Understanding your battery also helps you estimate how long a day's vaping will last.

Here is what to keep in mind.

• Sub-ohm kits commonly use an internal battery of around 1500 to 3000mAh, or one or two removable 18650 cells rated at roughly 2500 to 3500mAh each. Higher wattage drains these faster, so a device running at 60W needs charging more often than one running at 20W.
• Pod systems usually have smaller batteries, often in the 400 to 1500mAh range. They run at much lower power, so their real-world runtime is longer than the figure alone might suggest.
• Charging: use the cable supplied with your device, plug it into a standard 5V USB charger or port, and do not leave it charging unattended or overnight. Take it off the charger once it is full.
• Removable cells: use only undamaged cells from a reputable supplier, keep them in plastic cases, and never carry loose batteries in a pocket with keys or coins.

On wattage, the range printed on the coil is your guide. Running at the bottom of the range gives a cooler, gentler vape that is kinder to the liquid and the battery. Running toward the top gives more vapour and a warmer taste but uses up liquid and charge more quickly. Sweet, gummy-style liquids such as this one tend to taste cleanest in the middle of the range, where the sugars do not caramelise too quickly on the coil.

When a vape or battery reaches the end of its life it should never go in your household bin. Lithium cells are a fire risk in collection lorries and recycling plants. Take old devices and batteries to a battery or WEEE recycling drop-off point, which you will find at most large supermarkets, council recycling centres and many vape shops. Under UK rules, sellers of electrical products are expected to offer take-back arrangements, so it is always worth asking in store. If a battery is swollen, hot, leaking or damaged, stop using it straight away and take it to a household waste recycling centre rather than leaving it lying around.

Choosing a nicotine strength: from 0mg to 3mg and beyond

Because this is a shortfill, you choose the nicotine strength yourself. That flexibility is useful, but it means you should think it through before you start adding shots. The right level depends on how much you vape, what device you use, and whether you are coming from smoking, from another vape or from no nicotine at all.

This is a sensible starting framework for UK adults.

• 0mg: for vapers who do not want any nicotine, including those who have already stepped down completely. No shots are needed. It is also the right choice if you simply want to try the flavour first.
• Around 1.5 to 1.8mg/ml (one shot): a light level for people who have vaped for a while and use a sub-ohm device. A good option if 3mg feels too strong.
• 3mg/ml (two 18mg shots): the standard shortfill strength and a common starting point for former smokers moving to a sub-ohm tank, particularly those who smoked around ten to twenty cigarettes a day.
• Above 3.3mg/ml: not possible with a single 100ml shortfill and two shots, and it would need a different product. Heavy former smokers who want a firmer hit are usually better served by a nicotine salt liquid in a pod device.

Remember that sub-ohm devices produce large amounts of vapour, and your nicotine intake scales with the amount of liquid you vape. A strength that feels mild in a tight pod device can feel much stronger in an airy, high-power tank. If you notice headaches, nausea, dizziness or a racing pulse, the strength is too high for you, and you should step down to a lower level.

Some vapers use nicotine salt shots in place of the standard freebase kind. These can feel smoother at higher strengths, but they behave differently in a high-VG liquid and in a high-power tank, so read the shot manufacturer's guidance and start low. The 20mg/ml cap that UK law places on nicotine e-liquid is the upper limit for shots, nicotine salts and pre-filled products alike, and a finished shortfill mix sits well below it.

Nicotine is addictive. Vaping is widely regarded as considerably less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free, and it is intended for adults who already smoke or vape. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take medication, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products. If you do not currently use nicotine, there is no reason to start, and the 0mg version of this liquid is the right option for you.

Who Nexus White Gummy Bear is for, and who should look elsewhere

No e-liquid suits everyone, and the quickest way to avoid disappointment is to match the product to the person. This one is a sweet shortfill with a gummy-candy character, and that narrows the audience in useful ways.

It is likely to suit the following people.

• Adult vapers who already own a sub-ohm tank, a mesh-coil kit or a refillable pod system with a suitably wide wicking port.
• Vapers who enjoy sweet, fruit-and-candy flavours and who vape often enough to benefit from a 100ml bottle.
• People moving away from small 10ml bottles who want a lower cost per millilitre and fewer reorders.
• Former smokers who have already switched fully to vaping and want a pleasant, sweet alternative to tobacco and menthol flavours.
• Anyone who wants to control their own nicotine level, including stepping down gradually from 3mg to 1.5mg to 0mg over time.

It is likely to be a poor fit for these groups.

• Anyone under 18. Sales to under-18s are illegal in the UK, and we may ask for age verification at checkout.
• Non-smokers and people who have never used nicotine. Vaping is not recommended for anyone who does not already smoke or vape.
• People who want a pocketable, ready-to-use device with no mixing, refilling or coil changes. A shortfill needs equipment and a little routine.
• Fans of dry, tobacco or strongly minty flavours who dislike sweetness.
• Users of very small, high-resistance pod devices designed for nicotine salts, where thick liquid may not wick properly.
• Anyone who needs strong nicotine, such as 10mg or 20mg, in a single step. A nicotine salt product is the more suitable choice.

If you are on the fence, think about your current device first and your flavour preference second. A good flavour in a mismatched device will still disappoint, whereas an acceptable flavour in the right device usually works out well. If you are unsure whether your kit can handle a high-VG liquid, check the manufacturer's recommended VG range, or ask us before you buy.

How to mix, steep and use your shortfill

Using a shortfill is simple once you have done it a couple of times. The steps below cover a first bottle from unboxing to the first puff, and they will save you from the most common beginner mistakes.

• Check the seal and label. Confirm the tamper-evident seal is intact and note the batch number and VG/PG ratio.
• Decide on nicotine. If you want 0mg, skip to the steeping step. For nicotine, buy 10ml shots in your chosen strength separately.
• Add the shots. Remove the cap and the nozzle, pour the shot or shots into the bottle, then refit the nozzle and cap firmly. Wash your hands and wipe up any spills, because concentrated nicotine can be absorbed through the skin.
• Shake thoroughly. Shake for about a minute until the shots are fully mixed. Shake again before each refill for the first few days.
• Steep if you can. Leave the bottle somewhere cool, dark and upright for a day or two with the cap slightly loosened for a few minutes to release any trapped air. Gummy flavours often smooth out and taste rounder after a short rest.
• Prime the coil. Drip liquid on the cotton, fill the tank, and wait five to ten minutes before your first puff.
• Start low. Begin at the lower end of the coil's wattage range, take gentle draws, and increase the power a few watts at a time.

When you fill the tank, keep it upright and avoid covering the central airflow tube. Do not fill past the maximum line, and leave a little air space at the top to reduce the chance of leaks. If your tank has a bottom-fill or top-fill design, follow the instructions that came with it.

A few safety habits are worth keeping. Never use a device that is hot, damaged or leaking. Do not mix different brands of liquid in the same tank unless you are sure you like the result. Keep liquid bottles away from children and pets, and store them in a cool place. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water, and if it gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation continues. If anyone swallows e-liquid, seek urgent medical help.

Finally, if you want to switch to another Nexus flavour later, empty and rinse the tank with warm water, dry it fully and fit a fresh coil before filling. Otherwise the previous flavour will linger and muddle the new one.

Troubleshooting: leaks, dry hits, gurgling and fading flavour

Most problems with a shortfill come from the device, the coil or the way the tank has been filled, rather than from the liquid itself. The checklist below covers the issues we hear about most often and the usual fixes.

• Leaking from the tank: check that the coil is screwed in firmly and the tank is correctly assembled. Make sure the o-rings are seated and undamaged, avoid overfilling, and do not pressurise the tank by squeezing the bottle hard while fitting the top cap. Warm temperatures can also make thin liquid leak, so keep the tank out of hot cars and direct sun.
• Dry or burnt hits: this normally means the coil is not saturated. Re-prime it, wait several minutes, and lower the wattage. Chain vaping can also dry a coil, so pause between long drags. If the burnt taste does not clear, the coil has worn out and needs replacing.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much condensation in the airflow path or a flooded coil. Remove the mouthpiece and blow gently through the tank to clear the airway, wipe any liquid from the base, and check that you have not overfilled it.
• Flavour fading after a few days: this is almost always the coil, not the bottle. Sweet liquids leave residue that dulls flavour. Fit a fresh coil, and consider rinsing the tank. If you add nicotine shots, also remember that the flavour may feel slightly less intense than at 0mg.
• Throat harshness: the nicotine may be too strong for your device, or the wattage is too high. Lower the power, step the strength down, or use a single shot instead of two.
• Weak vapour: check the battery level, make sure the airflow is not blocked, and confirm the coil is rated for the wattage you are using.
• Liquid colour has changed: mild darkening over time is normal for flavoured e-liquid, especially when exposed to light and warmth. A strong or unpleasant smell, separation that does not recombine on shaking, or any sign of contamination means you should stop using that bottle.

If you have worked through these steps and a problem persists, take a photo of the bottle, the label and the batch number, and contact us with your order number. We can usually tell quickly whether it is a faulty bottle or a device issue. If the bottle arrives leaking or damaged, report it promptly so we can resolve it.

Value for money and how it compares with other options

Value is where the shortfill format earns its place, and it is worth working through the comparison properly instead of relying on a headline price. Always check the current price on the product page, since it can change, but the underlying logic stays the same.

Compared with small 10ml bottles, a 100ml shortfill almost always costs far less per millilitre. If you vape a few millilitres a day, the difference adds up quickly over a month, and you also receive fewer parcels, use less packaging and are less likely to run out unexpectedly. The extra costs are the nicotine shots, if you use them, and the effort of mixing.

Compared with disposables, the gap is larger still. Single-use vapes have been restricted in the UK since June 2025, so the more realistic comparison is with rechargeable pod kits using pre-filled pods. Pre-filled pods are convenient and tidy, but each one holds only about 2ml, so the cost per millilitre is much higher than a shortfill. A refillable device does cost more at the outset, but over a few months it usually works out cheaper.

Compared with other 100ml ranges, the picture is more balanced and it would be unfair to claim an advantage we cannot show. Most 100ml ranges at similar prices use a similar high-VG base, the same 120ml bottle and similar nicotine-shot arithmetic. Where they differ is in flavour quality, sweetness level, how many flavours are on offer and how consistent batches are. Some rival ranges offer a wider choice of flavours or stronger menthol and ice options, and some premium ranges cost more because they use more complex flavour blends. Nexus is a good fit when you want a straightforward sweet or fruit profile at a sensible price, and less of one if you are looking for something very niche.

Here is a simple way to judge whether it is worth it for you.

• Work out how many millilitres you use per day and divide 100 by that number to see how many days a bottle lasts. At three to five millilitres a day on a sub-ohm tank, a bottle lasts roughly three to five weeks.
• Add the cost of nicotine shots if you use them, and divide the total by the number of days.
• Include the coils you will need, usually one or two per bottle.
• Compare the result with what you currently spend on small bottles or pods.

For most regular vapers with a suitable device, the result is a lower daily cost and a more consistent supply. For occasional vapers, a smaller bottle may suit better, because liquid kept for many months is more likely to lose some of its flavour.
