🫙 Everything you need to know about DIY

What is DIY (Do It Yourself) in the world of e-liquids?

DIY, meaning "Do It Yourself", involves creating your own e-liquid recipes according to your preferences. Instead of buying ready-made e-liquids, you can make your own blend by adding flavourings to a neutral base, and nicotine boosters if needed for smoking cessation.

DIY e-liquids consist of a PG VG base (Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine), nicotine boosters, flavourings and concentrates. With these ingredients, you are free to create your own e-liquid recipe, adjusting proportions and combinations to suit your personal tastes.

What are the benefits of making your own e-liquid for an e-cigarette?

Making your own e-liquid offers many benefits:

1. Significant savings: By making your own DIY e-liquid, you can make considerable savings compared with buying ready-to-use bottles of e-liquid. On average, making 100 ml of your own e-liquid costs the same as one 10 ml bottle of commercial e-liquid.
2. Creating new flavours: With a wide choice of flavourings and bases available, you can explore and invent new flavours for your taste enjoyment. You can personalise your blends and discover unique combinations.
3. Full control over the composition: Unlike pre-made e-liquids, which may lack detailed information about their composition, DIY gives you full control over the ingredients used. You can choose the quality of the PG VG base, flavourings and nicotine boosters, offering greater transparency about what you vape.
4. Making large quantities: By making larger quantities of e-liquid, you can avoid having to check your stock frequently and potentially running out of your favourite liquid. This gives you greater independence and ensures you always have e-liquid close at hand.

In summary, making your own e-liquid allows you to save money, explore new flavours, control the composition and maintain sufficient stock to avoid interruptions to vaping.

🤷‍♀️ Which base should you choose?

The nicotine strength you choose depends on your current cigarette consumption. If you smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day, we recommend a base with a nicotine strength of 6 mg/ml. For those who smoke between 10 and 20 cigarettes a day, a 12 mg/ml base is recommended. For smokers who consume more than 20 cigarettes a day, especially at the beginning of the transition, it is recommended to choose an 18 mg/ml base.
