A Concentrate of French Quality
Made in France by the renowned brand Le Coq Qui Vape, this concentrate reflects expertise and excellence. Developed in Airomia laboratories, it consists of food-grade flavors and propylene glycol, ensuring premium quality for your preparations.
Warning:
This concentrate cannot be vaped directly. It is designed to be diluted in a DIY base to which you can add nicotine boosters if desired.
Dosage:
We recommend using about 10% concentrated flavor when diluting into a neutral base with a 50% PG/VG ratio.
Two methods are possible for measuring flavors:
- By the number of drops.
- By percentage, or in milliliters.
Note: 1 ml of concentrate equals 30 drops. For example, a 5% dilution in a base requires 5 ml per 100 ml, or 0.5 ml (15 drops) per 10 ml.
Maturation:
The recommended steeping time varies depending on the base composition:
- 70 PG/30 VG: 4 days.
- 50 PG/50 VG: 4 days.
- 30 PG/70 VG: 4 to 5 days.
- 100 VG: 6 days.
Characteristics:
- Composition: food-grade flavorings.
- 10 ml bottle with tamper-proof seal, child safety cap, tactile triangle, composition, expiry date, and batch number.
- Origin: made in France.
Storage:
Store between 4 and 16 °C. This aroma can be kept for at least one year in its original packaging. Compliant with Regulation 1334/2008/EC.
Preparing Your E-Liquid:
Necessary Ingredients:
- A ready-to-use base.
- One or more concentrated flavors.
- Optional: an additive (to adjust sweetness, acidity, or add a candy effect, etc.).
Required Equipment:
- A syringe (10-30 ml) for the base.
- A syringe (1 ml) for the flavors.
- Plastic or glass bottles (5 ml, 10 ml, or 30 ml).
- Latex gloves.
- Protective goggles.
Preparation Steps:
- Wash your hands and work on a clean surface, away from children.
- Using a syringe or pipette, fill an empty bottle with the base (e.g., for 10 ml of e-liquid: pour 8 ml of base; the remaining 2 ml will be for the flavor and additive).
- If handling a nicotine base, wear gloves and protective goggles.
- Shake the flavor bottles before use.
- Add the indicated flavor dose (refer to dosage recommendations).
- If necessary, add an additive.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for 10-20 seconds and let it rest to allow the flavors to develop.
- Wash your hands again and clean your equipment and workspace.
- Note your recipe to replicate or share it later.
Maturation:
Steeping allows the flavors to blend fully with the e-liquid base. This process requires:
- At least 15 days, or even several weeks, for tobacco-type flavors.
- At least 48 hours for other types of flavors.
To optimize results, shake the bottle after preparation and daily. Note that the higher the vegetable glycerin content, the longer the steeping time.
Tasting:
Once steeping is complete, your e-liquid is ready to taste. If the flavor is too weak, add a few drops of flavor and let it rest for at least 48 hours. If the flavor is too intense, dilute it with more base.
- Over-flavored: add base to dilute.
- Under-flavored: add a few drops of flavor.
Tips:
- Start with a single flavor before trying mixtures.
- Additives are optional but potent; use sparingly (1-3% of the mix).
- Label your preparations with key information (flavors, dosage, nicotine level, preparation date).
- For new recipes, use 10 ml bottles but reduce volume to 5 ml for easier adjustments.
- Respect the steeping time. To accelerate, you can add a drop of white vinegar or leave the bottle open for a few hours daily, shaking occasionally to facilitate oxidation.
