Raiden MAX Concentrate 30 ml - Ultimate A&L

Le Vapoteur Discount's guide to your DIY flavouring

The advantage of concentrated DIY flavouring

Concentrated DIY flavouring gives you the freedom to create your own mixes with excellent value for money. By mixing your own e-liquid, you can create personalised flavours to suit your tastes while controlling the nicotine strength.

It is also a more economical solution: a single bottle of flavouring can make several dozen millilitres of e-liquid, at a lower cost than ready-to-vape e-liquids.

For discerning vapers, DIY is therefore a cost-effective option.

Essential equipment

To create your own DIY e-liquid, you will need:

• A concentrated flavouring for DIY;
• A neutral PG/VG base (with or without nicotine);
• An additive (optional);
• One or more empty bottles for carrying your mixes;
• A pipette or a graduated bottle;
• Latex gloves and safety glasses if you need to handle nicotine.

Before handling, make sure you work on a clean, washed surface out of reach of children and animals.

DIY flavouring dosage

A concentrated flavouring must be diluted in a PG/VG base and cannot be vaped on its own.

Depending on the manufacturer, a DIY flavouring has a different dilution rate, always expressed as a percentage: 4%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%.

In practical terms, with our 200 ml DIY Pack in 50/50 PG/VG, this would give:

• 4% of the total volume in a 50/50 PG/VG base = 8 ml of flavouring to add to your 200 ml base
• 10% of the total volume in a 50/50 PG/VG base = 20 ml of flavouring to add to your 200 ml base
• 15% of the total volume in a 50/50 PG/VG base = 30 ml of flavouring to add to your 200 ml base
• 20% of the total volume in a 50/50 PG/VG base = 40 ml of flavouring to add to your 200 ml base
• 25% of the total volume in a 50/50 PG/VG base = 50 ml of flavouring to add to your 200 ml base

In a 70/30 base:

If your neutral base contains more propylene glycol (a flavour enhancer), we recommend reducing the dosage of your flavouring (from 15% to a minimum of 12%).

In a 30/70 base:

If your neutral base contains more vegetable glycerine (which softens flavours), we recommend adding a little more flavouring to your mix (from 15 to 17%).

Steeping

Leave your e-liquid to steep for a few days to a few weeks so that the flavours can fully develop. Some flavours require more steeping time than others:

• Simple fruity flavours: 0 to 5 days;
• Complex fruity flavours (raspberry, orange, apple, blackberry, watermelon, dragon fruit...): 5 to 7 days;
• Menthol, spicy, vanilla or aniseed flavours: 10 to 15 days;
• Dessert flavours: 15 to 20 days;
• Classic flavours : around 15 days.

After the steeping period, test your liquid. If necessary, you can adjust the flavour by adding base to soften it or flavouring to intensify it.

Storage

To preserve all the qualities of your DIY e-liquid:

• Store it in a dry place, away from light and heat;
• Write the preparation date and ingredients on each bottle;
• Always store your preparations out of reach of children and animals.
