Our recommendations to help you:

The steep time:

It’s the key part of DIY e-liquid making. The steep time is the length of time during which your e-liquid sits. It allows the flavors to develop and express themselves. The longer the maturation period, the more flavors develop.

For an optimal steep time, the necessary length is:

• 15 days minimum, or several weeks for tobacco and sweet/tasty concentrates
• 48 hours minimum for fruity and/or mentholated concentrates

Tip for an optimal result: shake the bottle of your preparation a bit every day so the flavors correctly diffuse.

According to the PG/VG ratio of your base, the steep time may be longer. The higher the vegetable glycerin (VG) proportion, the longer the steep time.

The tasting:

Once the steep time is over, your e-liquid is ready-to-be-used. It might need some adjustments.

If you find the flavor rendering too light, you can add some drops of concentrates and let it sit for an additional 48 hours.

On the contrary, if your e-liquid is too strong, you can dilute it by adding base.

To help you:

• If your preparation is too intense, you have to dilute it. Then, add some base.
• If your preparation is not strong enough, add some drops of concentrate
• If you’re a beginner: start with one concentrate before thinking about mixing it with other concentrates.
• For the additives (optional), stick to proportions of 1 to 3% of your base liquid + flavor concentrate(s) mix, as additives are generally highly concentrated.
• Precisely label your preparations with the date, the dosage, and the concentrates used
• Put your new recipes in 10ml bottles but in low amounts (5ml for example) to allow you readjustments of concentrate or base.
