Choosing the right eLiquid depends on your personal preference. For example, Smokers looking to quit may prefer a nicotine salt eLiquid at a higher strength to help curb cravings.

eLiquid generally consists of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavourings, and nicotine (optional). PG and VG are used as base liquids, flavourings provide taste, and nicotine (if present) provides the desired nicotine hit.

Yes, shaking your eLiquid bottle before use helps to evenly distribute ingredients that may have settled over time. This ensures a consistent flavour and nicotine delivery with each use, especially important after prolonged storage.

Always check the expiry date on the bottle. Other tell-tale signs that your eLiquid may have gone off is - a change in taste, particularly to a sour, harsh flavour. Cloudiness in eLiquid can sometimes indicate that it has gone bad or that ingredients have separated. While not all cloudy eLiquid is necessarily harmful, it's advisable to avoid using it if you notice cloudiness, as it may affect the quality and safety of your vaping experience.

Vaping eLiquids come in various types, including freebase nicotine eLiquids like Steam Punk'D, nicotine salt e-liquids (nic salts) eLiquids like INFZN and Joost. Each type offers unique characteristics e.g nicotine salt eLiquid may be preferred by Smokers and ex-Smokers as it can deliver a nicotine hit faster than freebase eLiquid.

Nicotine strength is important. eLiquids range typically from 0mg/mL (nicotine-free) to 28.5mg/mL (high nicotine concentration). Choosing the right nicotine strength depends on your smoking / vaping habits and desired throat hit.

Check the compatibility of your eLiquid with your device's coil resistance and wattage range. Some eLiquids are specifically designed for low power output devices. Ask us instore for help or email us at customerservice@vapemerchant.nz
