Overdilution of E-liquids

DIY experts, ready-to-smoke e-liquids or vape enthusiasts, you've all come across a bland, flavorless e-liquid. Whose fault was it? Lack of steep time? Perhaps. Wrong dosage of the PG/VG/Aroma ratio? Perhaps. Or simply OVERDILUTION of the liquid due to the addition of too many nicotine boosters? Certainly!

We're talking about the overdilution of your e-liquids. Indeed, since the law written by the Tobacco Products Directive dated May 19, 2016 and applicable since January 1, 2017, it is forbidden to sell bottles of nicotined e-liquid of more than 10ml. When you buy your e-liquids in 50ml or more, you therefore order your nicotine boosters that you need to add to the bottle.

You receive your 50 ml flavored base or ready-to-smoke e liquid in a 60 ml or even 70 ml bottle, to make room for a nicotine booster. You are then advised to add your nicotine booster for vaping in 3mg/ml or your two nicotine boosters for vaping in 6mg/ml. If, however, you are vaping at a higher nicotine level, the e-commerce site or specialist store will advise you to buy a larger bottle in order to fit all the nicotine boosters you need.

What you don't know in this process is that, by adding nicotine to your bottle, you dilute your liquid and therefore the aroma that makes it up, so each time you add a booster, it loses some of its flavor.

Goodbye to flavors and vape pleasure

Diagram explaining the overdilution of e-liquids:

To illustrate this phenomenon of overdilution, let's take the example of Ricard or grenadine syrup.

It works the same way for e-liquid flavors. The more nicotine boosters you add, the more you dilute the flavor and end up with a tasteless e-liquid.

The most alarming aspect of all this is that this recommendation is made by almost all the major specialist stores and online shops, such as Le Petit Vapoteur®, Eliquidandco, Cigusto, CigaretteElec...

These four e-shops all recommend adding up to 5 nicotine boosters to a 50ml ready-to-use e-liquid. They therefore recommend overdiluting your e-liquid to 100%. You'll end up with a bland, flavorless product.

Taklope.com and Lepetitfumeur.fr advise their customers to add up to 2 nicotine boosters. In any case, they suggest overdiluting your juice by 40%. As a result, you won't be enjoying a liquid with optimal taste quality.
