Bases neutres pour e-liquides DIY pas chères

The DIY base is the essential ingredient for making a DIY e-liquid for use with an electronic cigarette. Odourless and flavourless, it makes up the majority of your mixture and accommodates concentrated flavourings, nicotine boosters and any optional additives.

The choice of a neutral base directly influences your vaping experience. Its ratio of propylene glycol (PG) to vegetable glycerin (VG) determines flavour rendering, the amount of vapour, the throat hit and compatibility with your electronic cigarette.

At Le Vapoteur Discount, find a wide choice of DIY bases, DIY packs including base and boosters, as well as different volumes to prepare your recipes in the best conditions. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced vaper, you will find the e-liquid base suited to your device, your consumption and your preferences.

The DIY base is a neutral liquid intended for making your personalised e-liquid.

It contains:

• no flavouring;
• no flavouring;
• no nicotine (except specific nicotine-containing bases).

Its role is simply to serve as a carrier for your mixture.

A DIY base is made up of two main ingredients:

• propylene glycol (PG);
• vegetable glycerin (VG).

These two components have been used for many years in the world of vaping and produce different sensations depending on their proportions.

Once you have chosen your base, simply add:

• one or more concentrated flavourings;
• nicotine boosters if needed;
• optionally an additive.

After mixing and steeping, you obtain a fully customised DIY e-liquid.

Making your own e-liquid has several advantages.

First of all, DIY offers great freedom of customisation. You choose:

• your nicotine level;
• your flavourings;
• your PG/VG ratio;
• your volume;
• your recipes.

DIY also allows you to prepare large volumes while keeping full control over the composition of your liquid.

Whether you are a former smoker looking to gradually reduce your nicotine level or an experienced vaper who enjoys creating their own recipes, the neutral base is the starting point for all your mixtures.

The choice of ratio between propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin is certainly the most important criterion when purchasing a DIY base.

Each component has different properties.

The right balance depends mainly on your vaping device but also on your personal preferences.

The 50/50 base: the most versatile

The 50/50 DIY base remains the most popular choice today.

It combines:

• 50% propylene glycol
• 50% vegetable glycerin

This balance offers:

• good flavour rendering;
• moderate vapour production;
• a pleasant throat hit;
• excellent compatibility with the majority of electronic cigarettes.

It is generally the recommended base when you are starting out in DIY.

The 70/30 base: flavour first

A base made up of 70% PG / 30% VG prioritises flavour rendering above all.

It will be particularly suited:

• for low-powered electronic cigarettes;
• for coils above 0.8 ohm;
• for fans of mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.

Thanks to its more fluid texture, it easily feeds small coils.

In return, the amount of vapour remains more discreet.

The 30/70 base: for cloud chasers

Conversely, a 30/70 base contains a majority of vegetable glycerin.

It allows:

• denser vapour;
• a smoother vape;
• a more discreet throat hit.

This type of base is primarily intended for powerful electronic cigarettes designed for direct lung (DL) inhaling.

Its higher viscosity requires compatible equipment.

Which base for your device?

This table helps you quickly find the base best suited to your device.

Every vaper has different expectations.

Rather than looking for "the best base", it is better to choose the one that truly matches your vaping style.

Today, some bases replace traditional propylene glycol with Vegetable Monopropylene Glycol (MPGV).

These so-called vegetable bases are mainly intended for vapers who are sensitive to standard PG.

The choice depends mainly on personal preferences and any potential sensitivity to propylene glycol.

Neutral bases are available in several formats to meet the needs of all vapers. The choice of volume depends mainly on your consumption, the frequency of your preparations and your DIY habits.

If you only make a few recipes occasionally, a small bottle may be enough. Conversely, vapers who regularly make their own e-liquids often prefer large formats to reduce orders and save money.

The larger the volume, the more advantageous the cost per millilitre generally is. A 1-litre DIY base is therefore an excellent choice for vapers who regularly make their own preparations.

If you are new to DIY or want to save time, DIY packs are an excellent alternative.

They combine in a single product:

• a neutral base;
• the appropriate number of nicotine boosters for the desired level.

No need to calculate how many boosters to add to your mixture: the pack is already designed to reach a precise nicotine level once the mixing is complete.

Why choose a DIY pack?

DIY packs offer several advantages:

• faster preparation;
• no complex calculations;
• simplified dosing;
• time saving;
• ideal for beginners.

They then allow you to simply add your concentrated flavouring(s) to obtain a personalised e-liquid.

A standard neutral base contains no nicotine.

To obtain a nicotine-containing e-liquid, it is necessary to add one or more boosters.

Each nicotine booster generally contains a concentration of 20 mg/ml, in accordance with European regulations.

The number of boosters depends on:

• the desired final volume;
• the desired nicotine level;
• the volume of your base.

Here is an example for a 200 ml bottle:

To make these calculations easier, Le Vapoteur Discount also provides a DIY calculator, which automatically determines the quantities of base, flavourings and boosters to use.

Preparing a DIY e-liquid is an accessible process, even for beginners.

Simply follow a few steps.

1. Choose your base

Start by selecting the PG/VG ratio that matches your electronic cigarette.

2. Add the boosters

If you wish to vape with nicotine, add the necessary boosters.

3. Add your flavouring

Then pour in your concentrated flavouring, following the dosage recommended by its manufacturer.

4. Mix

Close the bottle and shake vigorously for about thirty seconds.

5. Allow to steep

Depending on the recipe, leave your mixture to steep for several days so that the flavours develop properly.

A few accessories are enough to make an e-liquid under good conditions.

The most useful ones are:

• graduated bottles;
• a pipette;
• a dosing syringe;
• a booster cap remover;
• a funnel;
• labels to identify your recipes.

These accessories ensure precise dosing and make preparation easier, especially when you are making several recipes at the same time.

Le Vapoteur Discount selects DIY bases recognised for their consistency and manufacturing quality.

You will find in particular:

• Le Vapoteur Discount;
• Revolute;
• VDLV;
• Supervape.

Each manufacturer offers several ratios, different volumes as well as DIY packs that include the base and nicotine boosters directly.

This variety makes it easy to find a solution suited to every vaper profile.

When preparing your first e-liquid, it is not always easy to calculate the right proportions between the base, the boosters and the flavourings.

A DIY calculator simplifies this step entirely.

By entering:

• the desired final volume;
• the nicotine level;
• the flavouring dosage;
• the PG/VG ratio,

you immediately get the exact quantities of each ingredient.

This tool prevents dosing errors and makes it easy to succeed with your first recipes.

A DIY base has excellent stability when stored correctly. Whether you use a small volume or a one-litre bottle, a few good practices will help preserve the quality of your mixture before adding the flavourings and nicotine boosters.

To store your neutral base in the best conditions, it is recommended to:

• keep the bottle tightly closed after each use;
• store the base in a dry place;
• avoid large temperature fluctuations;
• protect products from direct light;
• keep bottles out of reach of children.

If these conditions are met, a DIY base can be stored for several months without any significant deterioration of its properties.

Choosing a neutral base may seem straightforward, yet certain mistakes can affect the final result of your e-liquid.

Here are the most common ones.

A few precautions are generally enough to succeed with your first DIY preparations.
