Build Your Own E-Liquid Base and Control Every Mix
Create your own vape base exactly how you want it. PG and VG solutions form the foundation of every DIY e-liquid, allowing you to control vapour, throat hit and flavour performance.
Choose between pure Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG) or pre-mixed ratios depending on your device and preferred vaping style. Ideal for use with flavour concentrates and optional nicotine shots.
Why it matters: the right base ratio directly affects flavour clarity, vapour output and coil performance in pod systems and sub-ohm devices.
All products supplied in Ireland are intended strictly for adult users (18+).
The Base Solution
How Base Liquids Behave in Real Use
In practical use, base liquids behave differently depending on device type, coil resistance and temperature conditions. These factors directly affect wicking speed, flavour stability and overall consistency.
Ireland note: in colder environments, higher VG liquids become thicker, which may slow down wicking in pod systems and reduce flavour consistency.

| Parameter | Specification | Usage Context | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wicking Speed | Fast (PG) → Slow (VG) | Pod / tank systems | High VG may struggle in small pods |
| Temperature Effect | Viscosity increases in cold | Outdoor use in Ireland | 50/50 improves stability |
| Flavour Stability | More consistent in balanced ratios | MTL setups | Too thick = muted flavour |
| Leak Resistance | Higher with thicker liquids | Pod systems | Too thin = potential leaking |
Device Matching and Setup Optimisation
| Device Type | Recommended Behaviour | Usage Context | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pod Systems (MTL) | Stable flow required | Daily use | Avoid overly thick mixes |
| Sub-ohm Devices | Higher vapour output | High power use | Handles thicker liquids |
| Coil Behaviour | Residue depends on mix | Sweet recipes | Higher VG may increase buildup |
| Power Adjustment | Lower = more stable | MTL | Reduces coil stress |
