Gorgona Concentrate 30 ml - Curieux

The Vapoteur Discount guide for your DIY flavor

The advantage of a concentrated flavor for DIY

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

It is also a more economical solution: a single bottle of flavor can 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

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 to transport your mixes;
• A pipette or a graduated bottle;
• Latex gloves and safety goggles 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 be diluted in a PG/VG base. It is never 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 dosage of your flavor (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 Steeping

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

• Simple fruit flavors: 0 to 5 days;
• Complex fruit 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 steeping period, test your liquid. You can adjust the flavor by adding base to soften it or adding flavor to strengthen it if necessary.

Storage of your concentrated flavor

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

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