DIY Le Vapoteur Discount: everything you need to make your own e-liquid
Making your own DIY e-liquid is today a popular choice among many vapers who want to personalise their vape, precisely choose their nicotine level or prepare larger quantities of liquid. To achieve a successful recipe, a few DIY ingredients are essential: a neutral base, a nicotine booster, a concentrated flavouring and, depending on your preferences, one or more additives.
Le Vapoteur Discount brings together in this category all the products needed to easily make your preparations. You will find DIY bases in 500 ml and 1 litre, DIY packs ready to top up, several ranges of boosters (classic, nicotine salts, hybrid, neutral or cool), as well as a collection of DIY flavourings developed by Le Vapoteur Discount.
Whether you are new to DIY or have been preparing your own recipes for several years, this selection allows you to create an e-liquid tailored to your vaping habits, without needing multiple suppliers.
What ingredients do you need to make a DIY e-liquid?
Preparing an e-liquid relies on a few simple components. Each one has a specific role in the final recipe.
| DIY ingredient |
Role in the preparation |
| Neutral base |
Makes up the majority of the e-liquid |
| Nicotine booster |
Allows you to achieve the desired nicotine level |
| Concentrated flavouring |
Gives the e-liquid its flavour |
| Additive (optional) |
Modifies or enhances certain flavours |
Once these different elements are gathered, all you need to do is follow the recommended dosage, mix the ingredients and then allow the preparation to steep for a few days or a few weeks depending on the flavourings used.
DIY thus offers great freedom: you choose the composition of your liquid, the flavours, the vaping sensation and the nicotine level that suits you.
The DIY base: the heart of your preparation
The DIY base generally makes up more than 80% of the final volume of your e-liquid. Flavour-free and nicotine-free, it acts as the foundation for your entire recipe.
It is composed of two main ingredients:
- propylene glycol (PG);
- vegetable glycerine (VG).
Their proportion, known as the PG/VG ratio, directly influences the behaviour of your e-liquid.
| PG/VG ratio |
Features |
Which device is it for? |
| 70/30 |
Thinner liquid, stronger flavour delivery and throat hit |
Low-powered e-cigarettes, indirect inhale (MTL) |
| 50/50 |
Excellent balance between flavour, vapour and fluidity |
Compatible with the majority of e-cigarettes |
| 20/80 |
Thicker liquid, denser vapour |
High-powered device, sub-ohm vaping and direct lung inhale |
Thanks to these different ratios, every vaper can adapt their e-liquid to their device and vaping preferences.
Le Vapoteur Discount DIY bases
To meet all needs, Le Vapoteur Discount offers several formats of neutral bases.
500 ml DIY bases
The 500 ml bases are perfectly suited to vapers who regularly make their own recipes whilst wanting to keep a format that is easy to handle.
1-litre DIY bases
The 1-litre bases are intended for users who prepare large quantities of e-liquid or wish to have a stock to last several weeks of vaping.
All Le Vapoteur Discount bases are available in the main PG/VG ratios to suit different vaping styles.
| Available bases |
Available ratios |
| 500 ml base |
50/50 - 70/30 - 20/80 |
| 1-litre base |
50/50 - 70/30 - 20/80 |
These bases are an excellent starting point for all your DIY recipes.
DIY Packs: the simplest solution
For vapers who want to avoid calculations, Le Vapoteur Discount also offers its DIY Packs.
Unlike a standard base, these packs directly combine the base and the number of nicotine boosters needed to achieve the chosen level.
They allow you to quickly prepare an e-liquid without having to work out the right proportions.
Each DIY Pack has the following features:
| Features |
LVD DIY Packs |
| Volume |
200 ml |
| PG/VG ratio |
50/50 |
| Nicotine level |
3, 6, 9 or 12 mg/ml |
| Versions |
Neutral or Cool |
| Use |
Add your flavouring directly into the bottle |
The bottle is deliberately designed with a free space to accommodate your concentrated flavouring without requiring decanting.
Just a few minutes are then enough to prepare your recipe before the steeping phase.
Why choose between a DIY base and a DIY Pack?
Both solutions allow you to make a personalised e-liquid, but they cater to different uses.
| DIY base |
DIY Pack |
| Total freedom of preparation |
Simplified preparation |
| Choice of number of boosters |
Boosters already adjusted to the selected level |
| Suitable for highly personalised recipes |
Ideal for saving time |
| Dosage calculation required |
No calculations |
| Available in 500 ml or 1 litre |
Available in 200 ml |
If you enjoy doing all your preparations yourself, the DIY base remains the most flexible solution. If you are looking above all for simplicity, the DIY Pack allows you to quickly prepare an e-liquid ready to be flavoured.
Nicotine boosters: fine-tune your nicotine level
A neutral base contains no nicotine. To achieve the desired level in your e-liquid, you need to add one or more nicotine boosters.
Le Vapoteur Discount offers several types of boosters so that every vaper can choose the solution best suited to their vaping habits.
Classic boosters
Classic boosters are suitable for the majority of DIY preparations.
Available in 50/50 or 70/30 PG/VG, they allow you to maintain the ratio consistency of your base whilst adjusting your nicotine dosage.
They are also available in two versions:
- Neutral, to preserve only the flavours of your flavouring;
- Cool, to bring a light cooling sensation to your recipe.
These boosters blend easily into all DIY preparations and are compatible with all the concentrated flavourings available on Le Vapoteur Discount.
Nicotine salt boosters
Le Vapoteur Discount also offers nicotine salt boosters, intended for vapers who wish to prepare an e-liquid using this particular form of nicotine.
Like the classic versions, they are available in Neutral or Cool flavour to suit different recipe profiles.
They make it easy to create a DIY e-liquid whilst retaining the freedom to choose your flavouring and dosage.
The hybrid booster
Sitting halfway between classic nicotine and nicotine salts, the hybrid booster is an interesting alternative for certain vapers.
It can be used in all your DIY preparations in the same way as a traditional booster and is incorporated directly into your neutral base.
Thanks to this complete range of boosters, everyone can select the solution that best matches their vaping habits.
Which booster should you choose?
The choice depends mainly on your recipe and your preferences.
| Booster type |
Special features |
| Classic booster |
Versatile, compatible with all DIY recipes |
| Classic Cool booster |
Adds a cooling sensation to the preparation |
| Nicotine salt booster |
For preparing a nicotine salt e-liquid |
| Cool salt booster |
Combines nicotine salts and a cooling effect |
| Hybrid booster |
Alternative between classic nicotine and salts |
All of these products are designed to be used with the DIY bases and concentrated flavourings available on Le Vapoteur Discount.
Le Vapoteur Discount DIY flavourings: create recipes in your own style
Once the base and nicotine have been chosen, it is time for the most creative part of DIY: concentrated flavourings.
Developed by Le Vapoteur Discount, the range of 30 ml DIY flavourings makes it easy to create balanced recipes inspired by the most popular flavours among vapers.
Each concentrate is intended to be diluted in a PG/VG base. It should never be vaped neat.
The range covers several flavour profiles so that everyone can create an e-liquid that suits them.
| Flavour family |

| Red berries |
Raspberry, red berries, blackcurrant |

How do you make a successful DIY mix?
Making an e-liquid remains a straightforward process when done methodically.
Just a few steps are all it takes.
1. Choose your base
Select a neutral base suited to your device:
- 70/30 for a flavour-focused vape;
- 50/50 for versatile use;
- 20/80 for greater vapour production.
2. Add the nicotine
Then add the number of boosters corresponding to the nicotine level you want.
If you are using a DIY Pack, this step is already taken care of.
3. Add your flavouring
Then add your concentrated flavouring following the dosage indicated by its manufacturer.
Each recipe has its own recommendations, generally expressed as a percentage of the total volume.
4. Mix thoroughly
Close the bottle and shake vigorously for several seconds to homogenise the preparation.
5. Allow the steeping time
Then leave your e-liquid to steep so that the flavours can fully develop.
Steeping time varies depending on the flavour family.
| Flavour type |
Average steeping time |
| Simple fruit flavours |
1 to 3 days |
| Complex fruit flavours |
3 to 7 days |
| Mints and cool |
2 to 5 days |
| Dessert flavours |
2 to 3 weeks |

Store your preparation in a dry place, at room temperature and away from light to preserve all its qualities.
