FAQ
DIY (Do It Yourself) in vaping consists of making your own e-liquid for an electronic cigarette from several components: a neutral base, one or more flavourings, possibly additives and nicotine boosters. This method allows you to create a liquid perfectly suited to your tastes, your equipment and your nicotine needs at the best price.
DIY is primarily aimed at experienced vapers who already have a good knowledge of vaping and their taste preferences. It is suited to those who want to customise their flavours, precisely adjust their nicotine level and make savings in the long term. It is generally not recommended for beginners without guidance.
DIY is significantly cheaper than buying ready-to-use e-liquids. Once the basic equipment has been acquired, the cost per millilitre is greatly reduced. Making 1 litre of DIY e-liquid often costs the same as a few 10 ml commercial bottles, making it an ideal solution for heavy vapers who know their preferences well and understand the basic guidelines for creating their recipe successfully.
To create a DIY e-liquid, you need:
- a neutral base (PG/VG),
- one or more concentrated flavourings,
- nicotine boosters if necessary,
- accessories such as empty bottles, pipettes or syringes.
The DIY base is the carrier of the e-liquid. It is composed of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG).
- A PG-rich base enhances the throat hit and flavours. It will be suited to MTL equipment;
- A VG-rich base produces more vapour. It will be compatible with sub-ohm equipment;
Nicotine boosters allow you to add nicotine to a neutral base or a large-format e-liquid. They are dosed at 20 mg/ml and must be handled with care. DIY thus allows you to precisely customise your nicotine level, according to your smoker or vaper profile.
A DIY flavour is a flavour concentrate designed to be diluted in a base. It is never vaped on its own. Flavours come in all families: fruits, mint, indulgent, classic, fresh… The recommended dosage depends on the flavour and the PG/VG ratio used.
Yes, DIY allows you to create your own recipes by combining several flavours. This is one of the great advantages of this practice. However, it is advisable to remain cautious, to note your dosages and to start with simple recipes before embarking on complex blends.
Additives are used to adjust the final result of the e-liquid: adding freshness, sweetness, acidity or enhancing a throat sensation. They are used in very small quantities and must be dosed precisely to avoid unbalancing the recipe.
After mixing, a DIY e-liquid needs a resting period, called steeping, for the flavours to properly diffuse into the base. Depending on the flavours, this time can vary from a few days to several weeks. Respecting this step is essential to achieve a faithful and balanced result. A DIY e-liquid can nevertheless be vaped without a steeping period without any problem. However, the flavour will differ from the expected one.
DIY accessories make preparation easier: graduated empty bottles, pipettes, syringes, gloves. They allow you to work cleanly, be precise with measurements and store your preparations in good conditions.
Yes, DIY is perfectly suited to nicotine-free vapers. Simply use a neutral base without a booster. This allows you to fully enjoy the flavours, while keeping costs very low.
