PG/VG Base Solution for DIY E-Liquids (Ireland)
Base solutions consist of pharmaceutical-grade Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG), or pre-mixed PG/VG ratios used as the foundation for DIY e-liquid preparation. These bases are nicotine-free unless otherwise specified and are designed for controlled mixing with flavour concentrates and optional nicotine shots. Products supplied in Ireland are intended strictly for adult users (18+).
The Base Solution
Base Composition Options
DIY base solutions are available in various configurations depending on intended device type and desired vapour characteristics.
- 100% VG – Higher vapour density, smoother throat feel.
- 100% PG – Thinner viscosity, stronger flavour carry.
- 50VG / 50PG – Balanced option for MTL pod systems.
- 70VG / 30PG – Common ratio for sub-ohm and DTL devices.
Technical Specification Matrix
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Nicotine Content | 0mg (unless nicotine base specified) |
| Available Ratios | 100VG, 100PG, 50/50, 70/30 |
| Viscosity | Device dependent (MTL or DTL) |
| Mixing Compatibility | For use with flavour concentrates and nicotine shots |
| Storage Recommendation | Cool, dark environment in sealed container |
Basic Mixing Example: To prepare 100ml of 70VG/30PG e-liquid at 3mg/ml, combine 70ml VG, 20ml PG, and 2 × 10ml (18mg/ml) nicotine shots. Adjust flavour concentrate percentage separately according to manufacturer guidance.
Price & Value Context
Purchasing base solutions separately allows precise control over final VG/PG ratios and can reduce overall cost per ml when preparing larger DIY batches. Value efficiency depends on mixing accuracy and ingredient quality.

Safety & Regulatory Context (Ireland)
Nicotine-free base solutions are not restricted in volume; however, nicotine-containing bases or boosters are limited to 10ml bottles with a maximum nicotine concentration of 20mg/ml under Irish TPD regulations. Proper handling and accurate measurement are essential during DIY preparation. Products are intended strictly for adult users (18+).
