An e-liquid is a consumable intended exclusively for use in an e-cigarette. In a plant-based e-liquid, propylene glycol (PG) is replaced by a plant-derived ingredient, such as Végétol®, vegetable mono propylene glycol (MPGV) or Olivéine. Vegetable glycerine (VG), flavourings and, where applicable, nicotine complete the recipe. The 10 ml format is the only one permitted under European regulations (TPD) to contain nicotine, up to a limit of 20 mg/ml.
Depending on the manufacturer, different plant-derived ingredients replace propylene glycol:
| Ingredient | Origin | Role in the e-liquid |
|---|---|---|
| Végétol® | Propanediol (1,3-propanediol) obtained by fermenting plant-based raw materials | Replaces propylene glycol: carries flavours and throat hit |
| MPGV | Plant-derived mono propylene glycol | Same molecule as standard PG, produced from plant resources |
| Olivéine | Olive-derived ingredient | Used by some manufacturers as a substitute for PG |
| Vegetable glycerine (VG) | Vegetable oils | Provides smoothness and vapour volume, as in a standard e-liquid |
The result of a plant-based e-liquid is similar to that of a standard e-liquid with an equivalent ratio. Végétol® provides a slightly different throat hit from PG: a few days may be needed to get used to the sensation in the throat. The exact ingredients are listed on the label of each e-liquid.
The right nicotine strength depends on your tobacco consumption and habits. The aim is to achieve a comfortable throat hit, without irritation or cravings.
| Profile | Consumption | Suggested strength | Throat hit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Occasional smoker | Fewer than 5 cigarettes / day | 0 to 3 mg/ml | ●○○○ Light |
| Moderate smoker | 5 to 10 cigarettes / day | 6 mg/ml | ●●○○ Moderate |
| Regular smoker | 10 to 20 cigarettes / day | 12 mg/ml | ●●●○ Pronounced |
| Heavy smoker | More than 20 cigarettes / day | 16 to 20 mg/ml | ●●●● Intense |
These guidelines are indicative: your preferences, the equipment used and your inhalation style may lead you to adjust your strength. The higher the vaping power, the stronger the throat hit: high strengths are best vaped mouth-to-lung (MTL). For high strengths, nicotine salts offer a smoother throat hit. The strengths available for this e-liquid are shown in the product-page selector.
Plant-based e-liquids can be used with versatile equipment, in MTL or RDL; however, they are not well suited to very airy sub-ohm equipment. Here are the most suitable equipment categories and a few examples available at Le Vapoteur Discount:
| Equipment | Key points | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| E-cigarettes | Complete kits (battery + clearomiser), with simple or adjustable settings depending on the model. | Kit Q16 Pro – Justfog Kit PockeX Pocket AIO – Aspire Kit Coolfire Z80 Zenith 2 – Innokin |
| Pods | Compact format, refillable cartridges, use without complex settings. | Kit Luxe XR Max 2 – Vaporesso Kit Kiwi 2 – Kiwi Vapor Kit Pixo Max – Aspire |
| Clearomisers | Choose MTL or RDL models, compatible with 0.4 to 1.2 Ω coils. | Zenith 2 – Innokin Q16 Pro Plus – Justfog GOZ+ – Innokin Z Nano 3 – GeekVape |
The coil resistance and power determine the type of draw. With a vegetable-based e-liquid, the following guidelines provide a consistent vape:
| Coil resistance | Type of draw | Recommended power | Suitable nicotine strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 to 1.2 Ω | MTL – tight draw, similar to a cigarette | 10 to 18 W | All strengths |
| 0.6 to 0.9 Ω | MTL to RDL – intermediate draw | 15 to 25 W | Up to 12 mg/ml |
| 0.4 to 0.5 Ω | RDL – semi-airy draw | 25 to 30 W | 0 to 6 mg/ml |
Ideally, stay between 0.4 and 1.2 Ω and do not exceed 30 W to preserve flavour and extend coil life. As for the drip tip, a 510 mouthpiece is suitable for most uses.
Remember to recycle: empty bottles should be taken to appropriate collection points.

An e-liquid (or electronic cigarette liquid) is the product that generates vapour when heated by the coil of an electronic cigarette. Unlike traditional cigarettes, there is no combustion. The e-liquid is composed of a base (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine), flavourings, and optionally nicotine. It determines the taste, throat sensation, cloud production, and overall vaping experience.
An e-liquid generally contains four elements:
Some formulas also use alternative vegetable bases (Végétol) for extra smoothness.
An e-liquid with nicotine is intended for vapers who wish to replace traditional cigarettes. Nicotine acts on the sensation of satisfaction and reduces cravings. Nicotine-free e-liquids are used either at the end of a cessation programme or purely for the enjoyment of vaping, although it is not recommended to vape if you are not a smoker. The choice of nicotine strength is essential to avoid a poor experience (irritation or cravings). The nicotine dosage depends on your previous cigarette consumption. A light smoker will not have the same needs as a heavy smoker. A level that is too low can lead to frustration and relapse, while a level that is too high can cause throat discomfort. The goal is to find a balance between hit, sensation, and vaping comfort, adjusting gradually if needed. A low dosage of 0, 3, or 6 mg/ml of nicotine is generally recommended for light or occasional smokers (fewer than 7 cigarettes per day), and a high dosage of 20 mg/ml of nicotine salt for heavy smokers (a pack of cigarettes or more). However, this dosage can be adjusted depending on your electronic cigarette and your vaping style.
Nicotine salt is a more stable form of nicotine that is gentler to inhale. It provides rapid absorption with a less harsh throat hit, even at high concentrations. Nicotine salt e-liquids are particularly suited to beginner vapers, former heavy smokers, and low-wattage MTL kits. Various nicotine salt strengths are available. The best-known and most effective is 20 mg/ml, which is well suited to heavy smokers. However, a 10 mg/ml strength can be perfectly suitable for a regular or occasional smoker.
A nicotine booster is a nicotine-concentrated bottle designed to be added to a large-format e-liquid. It allows you to adjust the final nicotine strength according to the quantity added. Flexible and cost-effective, this solution allows you to boost your large-format e-liquid to 3 or 6 mg/ml of nicotine. For a 50 ml e-liquid, adding one nicotine booster will give you 3 mg/ml; adding two nicotine boosters will bring your e-liquid to 6 mg/ml.
The propylene glycol / vegetable glycerine ratio has a strong influence on the vaping experience.
The choice therefore depends on the wattage and compatibility with your electronic cigarette. If in doubt, the most common ratio remains 50/50 PG/VG. Balanced, it allows versatile use across MTL, RDL, and light DTL electronic cigarette models (approximately between 15 and 40 watts).
E-liquids with a vegetable base or containing Végétol replace traditional propylene glycol. They are often gentler on the throat, better tolerated by vapers who are sensitive to PG, and offer a smoother vaping experience without compromising on flavour. However, they should be used in MTL mode at low wattage (minimum 30 watts) to avoid the risk of leaks and preserve the quality of the product.
Yes, CBD e-liquids are designed for vaping and generally do not contain nicotine. They offer a different sensation, focused on relaxation, with no addictive effect. They should be used at moderate wattage to preserve the quality of the product. We recommend using them with a tight-draw MTL electronic cigarette.
E-liquids are considered a much healthier alternative to smoked tobacco. They are formulated from ingredients certified as safe for health, unlike the 7,000 harmful substances found in traditional cigarettes. Nevertheless, to choose a safe e-liquid, a few precautions should be taken, such as purchasing your e-liquid from a recognised retailer such as Le Vapoteur Discount, or checking the composition and origin by favouring reputable and regulated brands.
An e-liquid manufactured in France meets strict requirements and European directives regarding traceability, quality control, and safety. As a guarantee of quality and transparency for the consumer, French and European brands generally have their own laboratory for developing their e-liquid formula and are required to have this formulation studied by an independent laboratory before bringing it to market. These steps ensure that e-liquids are safe for vapers. These French and European quality standards prohibit undesirable substances and provide a more secure framework for vaping.
To keep your e-liquid for as long as possible and preserve its quality, taste, and colour, you should store it in its original bottle, ideally away from light, heat, and air. Despite these precautions, the e-liquid may sometimes take on a slightly brown tint. This is safe and fit for consumption — the colour is caused by the oxidation of nicotine and may also depend on the flavouring used in the e-liquid. It is generally recommended not to leave the same e-liquid in your clearomiser or pod cartridge for more than 5 days if you are not using it, to avoid leaks and excessive oxidation.
The DLUO (Date Limite d'Utilisation Optimale) or BBD (Best Before Date) is an indicative date. Once the e-liquid's date has passed, it may lose its taste qualities and appearance (colour, fluidity). An e-liquid fresh from the factory will have a BBD of approximately 2 years. Even past the BBD, the e-liquid remains suitable for vaporisation and will not be harmful to health.
