The Vapoteur Discount guide to your DIY flavouring

The benefits of a concentrated flavouring for DIY

The concentrated DIY flavouring gives you the freedom to create your own blends at a great value for money. By mixing your own e-liquid, you can achieve personalised flavours tailored to your tastes, while controlling the nicotine dosage.

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

For demanding vaping enthusiasts, DIY is therefore a cost-effective experience.

Required equipment

In order 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 to transport your blends;
• A pipette or a graduated bottle;
• Latex gloves and protective goggles if you need to handle nicotine.

Before any handling, make sure to 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%.

Concretely, in 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 (flavour enhancer), we recommend you reduce the dosage of your flavouring (from 15 to a minimum of 12%).

In a 30/70 base:

If your neutral base contains more vegetable glycerin (which mutes flavours), we recommend you add 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 to allow the flavours to develop fully. Some flavourings require more steeping time than others:

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

After the steeping period, test your liquid. You can adjust the flavour by adding base to tone it down or adding flavouring to strengthen it, if necessary.

Storage

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.
