Swish 100ml Shortfills by Mix Labs: The Complete UK Guide to All 8 Flavours

Written on February 12, 2026. Posted in main, Product reviews, Vape.

The Swish range by Mix Labs has already made waves as a nic salt — but now it’s arrived in 100ml shortfill bottles, and it’s a game-changer for anyone who loves these flavours but wants better value and full control over their nicotine strength.

If you’ve already tried the Swish nic salt range and fell in love with those candy-twist flavour profiles, the 100ml shortfills deliver exactly the same taste in a much bigger bottle — with room to add your own nicotine shots to dial in your preferred strength. And here’s the detail that sets Swish apart from almost every other 100ml shortfill on the market: it’s a 50/50 VG/PG blend, not the usual 70/30. That means it’s built for pod kits and MTL devices, not just sub-ohm setups.

In this guide, we’ll break down all 8 Swish 100ml shortfill flavours, explain how the 50/50 shortfill format works, and help you pick the right ones for your setup.

What Makes Swish 100ml Shortfills Different?

Most 100ml shortfills on the UK market use a 70/30 VG/PG ratio, which is designed for sub-ohm, direct-to-lung vaping. That’s fine if you’ve got a big mod and a cloud-chasing tank, but it’s not ideal for the millions of vapers using pod kits and starter kits for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.

Swish 100ml shortfills solve that problem. The 50/50 blend delivers a smooth, flavour-forward vape that works brilliantly in low-wattage MTL devices while still performing well in DTL setups and sub-ohm tanks. You get the cost savings of a 100ml bottle without having to compromise on device compatibility. For pod kit users who go through a lot of juice, this is the format you’ve been waiting for.

How Do Swish 100ml Shortfills Work?

Each Swish 100ml shortfill comes in a 120ml bottle — the extra 20ml of space is for adding nicotine shots. The e-liquid itself is 0mg (nicotine-free), and you customise the strength by adding your own nic shots:

Add two 18mg freebase nic shots to get approximately 3mg nicotine strength in 120ml of e-liquid. That’s the most popular combination and gives you a smooth, satisfying vape for MTL use. If you want a different strength, use our free nic shot calculator to work out exactly how many shots you need.

You can also add nic salt shots instead of freebase if you prefer a smoother throat hit at slightly higher strengths — our calculator covers that too.

Swish 100ml vs Swish 10ml Nic Salts: Which Should You Choose?

Both formats use exactly the same flavour profiles, so the taste is identical. The choice comes down to convenience versus value:

The 10ml nic salts are ready to vape straight out of the bottle — no mixing, no nic shots, just fill and go. They’re available in 10mg and 20mg strengths and are included in our 4 for £12 nic salt dea l. They’re perfect if you want convenience, higher nicotine strengths, or you’re new to the range and want to try individual flavours before committing to a bigger bottle.

The 100ml shortfills offer significantly better value per ml of e-liquid. At £15.99 per bottle — and with our Buy 2 Get 3rd for £3 shortfill deal — the cost per ml drops dramatically compared to buying 10ml bottles. They’re the smarter choice if you’ve already found your favourite Swish flavours and want to stock up, or if you prefer vaping at lower nicotine strengths like 3mg.

All 8 Swish 100ml Shortfill Flavours Reviewed

Here’s our breakdown of every flavour in the Swish 100ml shortfill range, with tasting notes and pairing suggestions.

Cherry Watermelon Swish 100ml

Bold, juicy cherry leads the inhale with a slightly tangy richness, while cool, hydrating watermelon sweeps in on the exhale. The Swish candy finish ties everything together with a polished, rounded sweetness. This is one of the most instantly likeable flavours in the range — a proper summer vape that works all year round. If you enjoy mixed fruit e-liquids, this is an excellent starting point.

Grape Gummy Bear Swish 100ml

Deep, jammy grape meets chewy gummy bear sweetness in what might be the most indulgent flavour in the Swish lineup. The grape is dark and rich rather than light and floral, giving it real depth and body. The gummy bear element adds that unmistakable soft, sugary sweetness that candy lovers will recognise instantly. A brilliant pick if you’re into sweet and candy-style e-liquids.

Kiwi Lemon Swish 100ml

Tangy, tropical kiwi pairs with sharp, zesty lemon for a bright, clean flavour that’s refreshing without being overly sweet. The Swish candy twist adds just enough sweetness to balance the citrus kick, creating a vape that’s lively and moreish. One of the most refreshing options in the range and a great choice for fans of citrus fruit e-liquids.

Mixed Berry Chill Swish 100ml

A medley of ripe berries — strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry — blended with a cool menthol finish. The berry blend is sweet and natural-tasting, while the ice element provides a clean, refreshing edge without overpowering the fruit. If you’ve transitioned from menthol disposables and miss that cooling sensation, this delivers it alongside genuine berry depth. Browse more menthol and ice e-liquids if cooling flavours are your thing.

Mojito Swish 100ml

Fresh mint, zesty lime, and a subtle sweetness combine to recreate the classic cocktail in vapour form. The mint is cooling and aromatic rather than harsh, and the lime adds a sharp, citrusy brightness that keeps things interesting. The Swish candy finish rounds it all off with a smooth, polished sweetness. A standout for fans of drink-inspired e-liquids — impressively authentic.

Nerd Berg Swish 100ml

Tangy rainbow candy meets cool menthol in what’s essentially a Heisenberg-style vape with the Swish candy-coated treatment. The fizzy fruit sweetness on the inhale is bold and complex, while the menthol coolness on the exhale delivers a refreshing finish. If you’re a fan of Heisenberg-style e-liquids but want something with a bit more character and creativity, Nerd Berg Swish is worth a try.

Orange Lemonade Swish 100ml

Bright, tangy orange bursts through on the inhale with genuine citrus depth, while fizzy lemonade sparkles on the exhale with an effervescent quality that lifts the entire blend. It’s like sipping an ice-cold glass of fresh orange lemonade — refreshing, sweet enough to satisfy, but with enough citrus sharpness to stop it feeling cloying. Another brilliant option for citrus lovers.

Strawberry Lime Swish 100ml

Sweet, ripe strawberry pairs with sharp, zesty lime in a flavour that’s both fruity and refreshing. The strawberry provides a soft, natural sweetness on the inhale, while the lime cuts through with a clean, tangy edge that prevents it from becoming one-dimensional. The candy twist rounds everything off into a smooth, satisfying all-day vape. A crowd-pleaser that’s hard not to like.

Best Devices for Swish 100ml Shortfills

Because Swish 100ml shortfills use a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, they’re genuinely versatile across device types. That said, they’re at their best in MTL setups where the balanced blend delivers maximum flavour clarity.

Our top recommendations are the same devices we suggest for the nic salt versions. The OXVA Xlim Go 2 is compact, reliable, and delivers excellent flavour from 50/50 e-liquids. The adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune your draw, and the 1000mAh battery gives you a full day from a single charge. For more versatility, the OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra offers adjustable wattage and a larger battery, making it ideal if you want more control.

If you’re completely new to refillable vaping, the Aspire PockeX Box Kit is a fantastic entry point. Simple to use, reliable, and perfectly suited to 50/50 e-liquids.

Which Swish 100ml Flavour Should You Try First?

With 8 flavours to choose from, here’s a quick guide based on what you usually enjoy:

Fruity and refreshing: Start with Cherry Watermelon or Strawberry Lime — both are crowd-pleasers with familiar fruit profiles elevated by the Swish twist.

Cool and icy: Mixed Berry Chill delivers that satisfying menthol hit alongside its berry blend, while Mojito offers cooling mint with zesty citrus.

Sweet and candy-style: Grape Gummy Bear and Nerd Berg are made for you — bold, unapologetically sweet, and packed with candy character.

Citrus and drinks-inspired: Orange Lemonade and Kiwi Lemon capture refreshing citrus and beverage profiles with impressive authenticity.

Best value: Take advantage of our Buy 2 Get 3rd for £3 shortfill deal and grab three bottles to try across different flavour styles.

Swish 100ml Shortfill Pricing and Deals

Each Swish 100ml shortfill is priced at £15.99. That’s competitive for a premium 50/50 shortfill, and the value gets even better with our multi-buy deal:

Buy 2 Get 3rd for £3 — pick up any two Swish 100ml bottles at full price and get a third for just £3. That’s three bottles (360ml with nic shots) for £34.98, working out at less than 10p per ml. You can mix and match across the entire Swish range or combine with any other shortfills in our collection.

Remember that nic shots are sold separately — you’ll need two per bottle if you want 3mg strength. We stock a range of options including 50/50, 70/30, 100% VG, and ice shots from just £1.25 each.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Swish 100ml shortfill e-liquid?

Swish 100ml shortfill is a premium e-liquid range by Mix Labs, available in 8 candy-twist flavours. Each bottle contains 100ml of nicotine-free e-liquid in a 120ml bottle, with space to add two nicotine shots to reach your preferred strength. Unlike most 100ml shortfills, Swish uses a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, making it ideal for pod kits and MTL devices.

What VG/PG ratio are Swish 100ml shortfills?

Swish 100ml shortfills use a 50/50 VG/PG blend. This is unusual for a 100ml shortfill — most use 70/30 — and means the Swish range works brilliantly in pod kits, starter kits, and MTL devices as well as DTL setups. You get the cost savings of a big bottle without sacrificing device compatibility.

How many nic shots do I add to Swish 100ml?

Add two 10ml nicotine shots to create 120ml of e-liquid. Two 18mg freebase nic shots give you approximately 3mg nicotine strength, which is the most popular choice. You can also use nic salt shots for a smoother throat hit. Use the free nic shot calculator on our website for exact figures at different strengths.

Are Swish 100ml shortfills the same flavours as the nic salts?

Yes — the 100ml shortfills use exactly the same flavour profiles as the Swish 10ml nic salts. The taste is identical across both formats. The difference is the bottle size, the nicotine setup (shortfills are 0mg and you add your own nic shots), and the value per ml. Read our full Swish nic salt review for detailed tasting notes on every flavour.

What flavours are available in the Swish 100ml range?

The full range includes 8 flavours: Cherry Watermelon, Grape Gummy Bear, Kiwi Lemon, Mixed Berry Chill, Mojito, Nerd Berg, Orange Lemonade, and Strawberry Lime. Each one features the signature Swish candy-coated twist that sets them apart from standard fruit e-liquids.

What devices work best with Swish 100ml shortfills?

The 50/50 VG/PG ratio makes Swish shortfills ideal for pod kits like the OXVA Xlim Go 2 and OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra, starter kits like the Aspire PockeX Box, and any MTL device. They also work well in DTL devices and sub-ohm tanks, making them genuinely versatile across all vaping styles.

How much are Swish 100ml shortfills?

Each Swish 100ml shortfill is priced at £15.99. They’re also included in our Buy 2 Get 3rd for £3 shortfill deal, so you can pick up three bottles for £34.98. Nicotine shots are sold separately from £1.25 each.

Are nic shots included with Swish 100ml shortfills?

No, nicotine shots are sold separately. Each 100ml shortfill comes in a 120ml bottle with space for two 10ml nic shots. We stock a range of nic shot options including 50/50, 70/30, 100% VG, 100% PG, ice shots, and nic salt shots from just £1.25 each.

Can I use Swish 100ml shortfills in a pod kit?

Absolutely — and this is one of the key advantages of Swish shortfills. The 50/50 VG/PG ratio is specifically suited to pod kits and low-wattage MTL devices. Most 100ml shortfills are 70/30 VG/PG, which can cause wicking issues and muted flavour in pod kits. Swish doesn’t have that problem.

Where can I buy Swish 100ml shortfills?

The full Swish 100ml range is available online at White Vape Co with UK-wide delivery, or in person at our three stores in Totton, Hythe, and Holbury, Southampton. Our staff are always happy to help you choose the right flavours and devices.

top ten most asked questions about vaping

Is Vaping Worse Than Smoking?

This is perhaps the most important question we receive at our in-store and online vape shop, and the answer is clear: vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes.

According to Public Health England, vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking. This finding has been supported by numerous independent studies and remains the cornerstone of the UK’s harm reduction approach to tobacco.

When you smoke a cigarette, combustion releases over 7,000 chemicals, including tar, carbon monoxide, and dozens of carcinogens. Vaping, by contrast, heats e-liquid to produce vapour without combustion, dramatically reducing exposure to these harmful substances.

The NHS actively recommends vaping as a quit-smoking tool, and stop smoking services across the UK—including Smoke Free Hampshire, which works alongside our vape shops—often suggest vaping as an effective way to transition away from tobacco.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Buy a Vape in the UK?

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years old to purchase vaping products. This includes e-cigarettes, vape kits, e-liquids, and all related accessories.

At White Vape Co, we take age verification seriously. Whether you visit our vape shop in Hythe, Holbury, or Totton, or purchase from our online vape shop at whitevapeco.uk, we operate a Challenge 25 policy. This means if you look under 25, you’ll be asked for valid photo ID before completing your purchase.

It’s also illegal to buy vaping products on behalf of someone under 18. These regulations exist to protect young people, and as a responsible UK vape shop, we’re committed to upholding them.

What Happens When You Quit Smoking and Start Vaping?

Making the switch from cigarettes to vaping triggers a remarkable recovery process in your body. Here’s what many of our customers experience:

Within 24 hours: Carbon monoxide levels in your blood drop to normal, and your lungs begin clearing mucus.

Within 2-12 weeks: Circulation improves, and lung function begins to recover. Many people notice they can breathe more easily and have more energy.

Within 3-9 months: Coughing and wheezing reduce significantly. The cilia in your lungs regenerate, improving their ability to fight infection.

Long term: Your risk of heart disease and stroke continues to decrease. Your sense of taste and smell improve noticeably.

Many customers who visit our Southampton area vape shops tell us they wish they’d made the switch sooner. The key is finding the right device and nicotine strength—something our knowledgeable staff can help with in store or via our online vape shop.

How Many Cigarettes Are in a Vape?

This is a tricky question because vaping and smoking deliver nicotine differently. However, we can provide some helpful comparisons.

A typical disposable vape with 2ml of 20mg/ml e-liquid contains roughly the same amount of nicotine as 20-40 cigarettes, though absorption rates differ. Most disposable vapes are rated for approximately 600 puffs, which many users find equivalent to about one to two packs of cigarettes in terms of satisfaction.

For refillable devices, a 10ml bottle of e-liquid at 20mg/ml strength contains 200mg of nicotine total. Since a single cigarette delivers roughly 1-2mg of absorbed nicotine, a 10ml bottle might be roughly equivalent to 100-200 cigarettes—though individual vaping habits vary considerably.

The staff at our vape shops in Hythe, Holbury, and Totton can help you find the right nicotine strength based on your current smoking habits, ensuring a smooth transition.

Why Does My Vape Taste Burnt?

A burnt taste is one of the most common complaints we hear at our UK vape shop, and it’s usually easy to fix. Here are the main causes:

Dry wicking material: If you vape before the wick is properly saturated, it burns the cotton. Always prime new coils by adding a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton and waiting several minutes before your first puff.

Low e-liquid levels: When your tank runs low, the wick can’t absorb liquid properly. Keep your tank at least one-quarter full.

Chain vaping: Taking puffs in rapid succession doesn’t give the wick time to re-saturate. Wait 15-20 seconds between puffs.

Worn-out coils: Coils don’t last forever. Most need replacing every one to four weeks, depending on usage. If cleaning doesn’t help, it’s time for a new coil.

Wrong power settings: Using wattage that’s too high for your coil will burn the wick. Check your coil’s recommended range and stay within it.

Pop into any of our vape shops in Southampton and we’ll help diagnose the problem—often it’s a simple fix that’ll have you vaping smoothly again in minutes.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Disposable Vapes?

With the 2025 ban on disposable vapes now in effect in the UK, many vapers are looking for sustainable alternatives. The good news is that reusable systems often provide a better experience whilst being kinder to both your wallet and the environment.

Pod systems: These compact devices use refillable or replaceable pods. They’re just as portable and convenient as disposables but create far less waste. Many offer a similar draw style to disposables, making the transition seamless.

Vape pens: Slightly larger than pod systems, vape pens offer excellent battery life and often feature adjustable settings. They’re perfect for intermediate users who want more control.

Refillable bar-style devices: These look and feel like disposables but can be refilled and recharged. You get the familiar form factor with none of the waste.

At our online vape shop and in-store locations, we stock a wide range of alternatives to disposables. Our staff can recommend the perfect device based on your preferences and budget.

Can You Take a Vape on a Plane?

Yes, you can travel with your vape, but there are important rules to follow:

Carry-on only: Vaping devices containing lithium batteries must be packed in your hand luggage, never in checked baggage. This is an international aviation safety requirement.

E-liquid restrictions: E-liquids count towards your liquid allowance. Each container must be 100ml or less and fit in your clear, resealable liquids bag.

No vaping on board: Vaping is prohibited on all commercial flights. This includes using the toilet—smoke detectors will detect vapour and you may face serious penalties.

Check your destination: Vaping laws vary dramatically by country. Some destinations ban vaping products entirely, whilst others have restrictions on nicotine content. Research before you travel.

Before your trip, pop into our vape shop in Hythe, Holbury, or Totton—we can advise on travel-friendly devices and help you prepare for your journey.

Can You Vape When Pregnant?

Important: This is a question for your midwife or doctor, and we always recommend seeking professional medical advice.

That said, here’s what UK health authorities currently advise: whilst the safest option during pregnancy is to be completely nicotine-free, if you’re struggling to quit smoking, vaping is considered significantly less harmful than continuing to smoke.

Smoking during pregnancy carries serious risks including premature birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth. If vaping helps you stop smoking when other methods haven’t worked, it may be the lesser harm—but this is a decision to make with your healthcare provider.

Stop smoking services, including those partnered with our Southampton vape shops, offer free, confidential support for pregnant women looking to quit. They can discuss all options, including nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural support.

Does Vaping Make You Lose Weight?

This question often comes from smokers who’ve heard that quitting cigarettes leads to weight gain. Let’s separate fact from fiction.

Nicotine is a mild appetite suppressant, which is partly why some smokers gain weight when they quit—they’re no longer getting that effect, and they may snack more as a replacement habit. If you switch from smoking to vaping, you’re still getting nicotine, which may help manage appetite during the transition.

However, vaping should never be viewed as a weight loss tool. It’s not designed for this purpose, and the health effects of using nicotine products solely for weight management haven’t been studied extensively.

Many ex-smokers who switch to vaping report that having something to do with their hands and mouth helps prevent the snacking that often accompanies quitting. This behavioural aspect can be just as important as the nicotine itself.

How to Quit Vaping

For many people, vaping serves as a stepping stone away from cigarettes—and eventually, away from nicotine altogether. If you’ve reached the point where you want to quit vaping, here’s a sensible approach:

Gradually reduce nicotine strength: This is the most comfortable method. If you’re using 20mg e-liquid, step down to 12mg, then 6mg, then 3mg, and finally 0mg. Take as long as you need at each stage—there’s no rush.

Reduce frequency: Once you’re comfortable on lower nicotine levels, start extending the time between vaping sessions. Leave your device at home for short trips, then longer ones.

Find replacement habits: The hand-to-mouth action becomes ingrained. Chewing gum, drinking water, or keeping your hands busy can help manage the behavioural aspect.

Seek support: Stop smoking services also help people quit vaping. Free NHS support is available, and behavioural therapy significantly improves success rates.

At our UK vape shops, we stock a full range of nicotine strengths to support your journey, whatever direction it takes. Our staff have helped countless customers both start and eventually stop vaping.
