E-Liquid

Premium bottes of e-liquid typically start from £2.95 RRP for a standard 10ml bottle, as the volume increases as does the price. However, often if purchasing higher volumes e.g. Shortfills, the cost per ml will reduce.

Another of the ingredients used is nicotine, this is the most well known chemical found in tobacco and is added to e-liquid at a variety of strengths.

The majority of vapers will opt to vape with nicotine, with the most popular e-liquids being either a 3mg or 6mg strength. However, strengths up to 20mg are available which is the maximum legal limit within the UK.

Choosing the right nic strength is an important decision when buying e-liquid for the first time. To choose the right strength, you need to consider your smoking habit.

• Light smokers who only have a few cigarettes a day should go for a 3mg or 6mg strength.
• Moderate smokers who get through up to a pack a day should start at a 12mg level.
• Heavy smokers going through a pack a day and over should look at 18-20mg strengths.

Nicotine found within the vape liquid is available in two forms; freebase and salt based.

Conventional (freebase) is what you would typically find in your standard e-liquid, it is nicotine in it's purest form making it more potent when heated.

Nic Salts not only contain nicotine but various other organic components, such as Benzoic acid. The addition of benzoic acid reduces the pH level, which means when vaping the liquid is less harsh and in turn allows you to vape at higher strengths.

Vaping nicotine free liquids does not make them less or more safe.

If you're an ex-smoker that is looking to start to vaping, therefore likely still requiring nicotine, we would recommend you begin with an eliquid that does contain nicotine. Otherwise, due to you not receiving your hit you are at risk of smoking traditional cigarettes to get your fix.

Start with nicotine containing liquids, you can then gradually lower the strength over time.

There is a huge array of mouth-watering flavours available to accomodate for the varying tastes of vapers. Finding your all time favourite flavour is one of the best and most exciting parts of vaping. There are a huge variety of vape liquids available in flavours ranging from tobacco to menthol and fruity to dessert flavours. Ultimately which is the best flavour is down to personal preference, a flavour that someone may enjoy might not necessarily be enjoyed by someone else.

Whilst you may begin with a tobacco or menthol vape flavour, as these will be a closer taste to what you’re used to, you can now really branch out and try some unique flavour blends. E-liquids will generally fall into one of these flavour groups; Tobacco, Menthol, Fruit, Dessert or Sweet/Candy. Once you’re more experienced, you can also mix your own complimentary flavours to find the perfect flavour for your taste.

For maximum flavour and to ensure the longevity of your e-liquid, store in a cool, dark place. Keeping the bottles away from direct sunlight and heat. Likewise, don't go too cold. However for long-term storage some vapers store their e-liquids in the fridge.

Providing the bottle is stored correctly and the lid is tight, once opened the liquid can last up to two years.

Always keep the bottle sealed and away from children or pets.

All e-liquids sold in the UK must comply with TPD regulations, and are required to be submitted to the MHRA for approval. Discover what TPD compliance is and how we comply.
