A basekit is a solution for self-mixing e-liquid, where you compose the finished liquid for your e-cigarette yourself. Many vapers choose basekits because it offers greater flexibility regarding flavour, nicotine strength, and mixing ratios between PG and VG. Instead of buying a pre-mixed e-liquid, you can use a basekit to customise the liquid according to your own preferences and the type of e-cigarette you use.

A basekit typically consists of a base liquid, which is composed of PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin). These two ingredients function as the foundation in the e-liquid and each have their own properties. Additionally, there is usually space in the bottle for adding aroma and possibly nicotine shots, so the finished liquid can be adjusted for both flavour and strength.

The base itself usually does not contain flavour. Therefore, aroma is added separately to give the e-liquid the desired flavour profile. Many choose self-mixing because it allows for the combination of different aromas and the creation of a more personal vaping experience. Some prefer fruity variants, while others go for more classic, fresh, or sweet flavours.

PG and VG play a significant role in how e-liquid is experienced in practice. PG is a thin liquid that helps transport the flavour and create a more noticeable throat hit. VG is thicker and primarily used to create more vapour and a smoother inhalation. The ratio between PG and VG therefore affects both flavour, vapour production, and how the liquid works in different types of e-cigarettes.

A 50/50 PG/VG ratio is often used in smaller pod systems and starter kits, as the liquid is more fluid and can more easily penetrate smaller coils. Higher VG content such as 70/30 VG/PG is often used in larger tanks and more powerful e-cigarettes, where the focus is on greater vapour production and a smoother experience.

Many base kits are developed so that it is easy to add nicotine shots directly into the bottle. Nicotine shots are used to adjust the nicotine strength in the finished e-liquid and allow choosing exactly the strength that suits the individual user. This provides a high degree of flexibility compared to traditional pre-mixed e-liquids.

When aroma and any nicotine are added to the base kit, the liquid should be shaken thoroughly so the ingredients mix correctly. Many then choose to let the liquid steep for a period. This process is often called steeping and is used to give the aroma time to develop and blend properly with the base. Some aromas require only a short time, while other flavours develop best over several days.

A base kit is often used by vapers who want:

• More control over their e-liquid
• The option to choose nicotine strength themselves
• Flexibility in choosing PG/VG ratio
• A wider range of aromas and flavour combinations
• The ability to customise e-liquid for specific e-cigarettes

Self-mixing has become popular among both new and experienced users because it allows for a more precise customisation of the vaping experience. At the same time, base kits make it easier to experiment with different mixes and find the combination that best suits one's preferences.

With us, you will find base kits in several different sizes, strengths, and mixing ratios. We offer solutions for both smaller pod systems and larger e-cigarettes, so you can find a base kit that suits your specific needs.
