Harvest Berry Concentrate 10 ml - Capella

The Vapoteur Discount guide for your DIY flavor

The advantages of a concentrated flavor for DIY

The concentrated DIY flavor gives you total creative freedom and an excellent value for money. By preparing your own e-liquid, you get customized flavors perfectly suited to your tastes, while controlling the nicotine dosage and composition.

It is also a more economical solution: a single bottle of flavor allows you to prepare several dozen milliliters of e-liquid, at a lower cost than ready-to-vape e-liquids.

For demanding and creative vaping enthusiasts, DIY is a fun, customizable and cost-effective experience.

Required equipment

In order to create your own DIY e-liquid, you will need the following:

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

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

DIY flavor dosage

A concentrated flavor must always be diluted in a PG/VG base. It should never be vaped on its own.

Depending on the manufacturer, a DIY flavor may have a different dilution rate, always expressed as a percentage: 4%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 25%.

Concretely, in our 200 ml DIY Pack, this would give:

In a 50/50 PG/VG base

• 4% of the total volume = 8 ml of flavor to add to your 200 ml base
• 10% of the total volume = 20 ml of flavor to add to your 200 ml base
• 15% of the total volume = 30 ml of flavor to add to your 200 ml base
• 20% of the total volume = 40 ml of flavor to add to your 200 ml base
• 25% of the total volume = 50 ml of flavor to add to your 200 ml base

In a 70/30 PG/VG base

If your neutral base contains more propylene glycol (flavor enhancer), we recommend reducing the flavor dosage (from 12 to 15%).

In a 30/70 PG/VG base

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

DIY maturation

Let your e-liquid rest for a few days to a few weeks so that the flavors develop fully. Some flavors require more maturation time than others:

• Simple fruity flavors: 0 to 5 days;
• Complex fruity flavors (raspberry, orange, apple, blackberry, watermelon...): 5 to 7 days;
• Menthol, spiced, vanilla or anise flavors: 10 to 15 days;
• Dessert flavors: 15 to 20 days;
• Classic flavors: approximately 15 days.

After the maturation period, test your liquid. You can adjust the flavor by adding base to tone it down or by adding more flavor to strengthen it if needed.

Storing your concentrated flavor

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

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