The history of vaping is relatively short, although smoking has been a part of human culture for centuries, associated with various cultural and social practices, such as religious ceremonies, social events, and even medical treatments. Smoking habits have evolved throughout history, from traditional inhalation of burning tobacco smoke from pipes, cigars and cigarettes to inhalation of flavoured tobacco smoke through a water pipe commonly known as ‘shisha’, to the relatively new practice of inhaling vaporised solutions. The history and cultural significance of vaping can be traced back to the invention of the e-cigarette by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003. Vaping was initially marketed as a smoking cessation tool, but it has transformed into a subculture with unique aesthetics, terminology, and social norms. Many people have embraced vaping as a form of self-expression, with users customising their devices and experimenting with different e-liquid flavours.
Why People Vape
People vape for a variety of reasons, and these can vary from person to person. One of the most common reasons people start vaping is to quit smoking, as e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to cigarettes because they contain fewer harmful chemicals. Other reasons include the social aspect of vaping, the relaxation and stress-reducing benefits, and the ability to customise the vaping experience with different devices and accessories. Additionally, the variety of flavour options and various nicotine strengths cater to numerous preferences and needs, making vaping accessible to everyone.
Types of Vaping
Several types of vaping devices are available on the market, each with unique features and benefits. Some of the most common types of vaping devices include disposable vapes, vape pens, mods and pod systems. Some devices may be better suited for beginners, while others may be better for experienced vapers or smokers, depending on personal preference. Disposable vapes are a convenient option for people who want to try vaping on an inexpensive device that is simple to use. Vape pens are refillable, so they are a good option for people who want a customisable permanent device that allows for more flavour options. Mods are powerful devices with tanks or rebuildable atomisers (RBA), which enable users to build their coils and customise the vaping experience. Mods are a good option for experienced vapers who want more control over their vaping experience. Pod systems are a relatively new vaping device that uses pre-filled pods instead of tanks. Pods are small and easy to use, so they are a good option for people who want a portable and discreet vaping device.
Vaping Safety
While you should take concerns about the safety of vaping seriously, you should also consider the potential biases and exaggerations in media coverage so you can approach vaping with a balanced and informed perspective. Proper regulation, personal responsibility, and continued research are all crucial factors in ensuring the safety of vaping products. Whatever your vaping preference, choosing high-quality e-liquids and following proper safety precautions when using vaping devices is essential. Decadent Vapours offer a wide range of fully TPD-compliant and tested vape devices, hardware, and e-liquids. We are available to help with friendly and personable staff if you have any questions or need advice. For all your vaping needs, visit our website.
When it comes to vape coils, many options are available, and it can be challenging to know which one will be right for you, especially if you’re a beginner vaper. Read on to find out everything you need to know about coils so that you can make an informed decision.
What are Vape Coils?
Coils, sometimes called atomisers, are part of the vaping device that heats the e-liquid and produces the vapour. A coil comprises a heating element, wicking material, and a casing that holds everything together.
Things to Know when Choosing Vape Coils
Ohms – all coils have an ohm specification, a measure of electrical resistance. The number of ohms is related to the amount of vapour produced. Coils with a low ohm specification will create more vapour and flavour. High ohm specifications produce less vapour and will have a more muted flavour.
Generally, most vapers will opt for coils with a specification between 2.4 and 2.8 ohms, with 2.5 ohms being the most popular choice.
The higher the ohm rating, the slower it will drain your vape pen battery, and this is something to keep in mind when choosing your coil. If you want your battery to last longer, you should try a higher-resistance ohm coil, as they don’t need high wattage settings and don’t drain the battery as much.
Sub-ohm vaping is when a coil with less than 1-ohm specification is used. This type of coil is usually something that experienced vapers use. This type of vaping produces huge vape clouds and will have an intense flavour. To use sub-ohm vaping, you’ll need a mod or battery compatible with low ohms coils.
Vape Coils rated below 1 ohm are also generally for direct-to-lung style vaping. This technique involves drawing vapour through your mouth, directly into the lungs, without holding it in your mouth.
Sub-ohm coils require far more significant amounts of power to create the large vape clouds and, as such, will require larger batteries or batteries to be charged or replaced more frequently. Again, this is important to keep in mind when making your choice.
When to Change my Vape Coils?
You’ll know it’s time to change your coil when your vape clouds become much smaller or if you can’t correctly taste the flavour from your chosen e-liquid. This is usually every two weeks or more frequently if you’re a heavy user of your e-cig.
How do I Replace the Coil?
Replacing vape coils is very simple. Just purchase a packet of replacement coils that are the right type for your e-cigarette make and model, remove the old one, and put the new one in place. To increase the longevity of your coil, we recommend priming your new coil before using it. To prime a new coil, simply fill your tank with e-liquid and leave it to stand for a few minutes before vaping. This will allow the cotton inside your new coil to absorb the e-liquid. At Decadent Vapours, we sell a wide range of different coil options from the best brands, such as Smok, Voopoo, IJoy, and Aspire. In addition, we have many other options, so there’s bound to be something to suit every vaper out there. Click here to shop our range of coils.
Disposables vs mods? There are many different types of vape devices available, and if you are new to vaping it can be challenging to know what device will best suit your needs. Or perhaps you’ve always bought disposables or mods and are uncertain about trying other devices, sticking to what you know rather than what might be best for your circumstances. So, in today’s blog, we look at disposables vs mods and their pros and cons to determine the correct device for you.
Disposables
Disposable vape pens are non-rechargeable devices that come ready-filled with e-liquid and are designed to be thrown away when the vape juice inside them is gone.
One main benefit of Disposables is that they are cheaper to buy than a mod device, making them an attractive option. (Although, over the long run, mods are less expensive).
Another popular benefit is that disposables don’t require any maintenance; they don’t have coils or tanks to change, they don’t need charging, and they don’t need refilling. This makes them ideal for those who want their vaping to be cheap, quick and hassle-free.
Another benefit of disposables is that they are generally smaller than mods, making them easier to carry around in your pocket or handbag.
The most significant disadvantage of disposables is the fact that they are, well, disposable. Disposable vape pens have a massive negative environmental impact. Vape pens designed for single use make up a considerable volume of waste sent to landfills. Some pens can also leak and release metals, battery acid and nicotine into the environment. This waste can contaminate water and animal habitats, making them unsafe for their inhabitants. Plastic pens can take up to 1000 years to decompose, meaning that millions of disposable vape pens will pollute the earth for generations to come. Read more about the effect of disposable vape pens on the environment here.
Mods are a more advanced type of vape device that allows users to personalise their vaping experience, which many people find makes it more enjoyable. Mods enable users to change tanks, alter airflow, change the flavour, decide whether to use shortfills, premixed e-liquid or mix their own, add or remove nicotine, and so much more.
Mods generally have much more power than disposables, so they can produce more vapour, which many users enjoy.
Mods are also much better for the environment than disposables, as they can be recharged and used repeatedly instead of thrown away.
Mods are larger than disposables, so they are more challenging to carry in your pocket or handbag and are less discreet when used.
A disadvantage of mods is that they are far more expensive to buy initially than disposables; however, in the long term, they are more cost-effective, so if you can afford to do so, mods are a better long-term solution than disposables.
Visit our online shop today to view our available disposables and mods. If you know what you need, you can place your order online. If you are still confused about disposables vs mods and you need help or advice about what device is best for you, please give us a ring, as we will be happy to chat. You can phone our Swansea store on +44 (0)1792 897103 between 9 am and 4 pm Monday through Thursday. We offer same-day shipping on orders placed Monday to Thursday before 11.30 am with Royal Mail or DPD, and we also offer free next-day collection from our location in Swansea.
When it comes to cost, there is a clear winner between vaping vs smoking. A person who smokes around 20 cigarettes a day will end up forking out more than £4000 per year for their cigarettes. In comparison, a vaper who vapes the equivalent amount will only spend about £500, saving around £3500!
Although there is an initial outlay of purchasing your vaping equipment, the cost savings, in the long run, will certainly be worth it. We recommend getting started on DIY vape juice with one of our starter kits as a great value-for-money starting point.
With the rising cost of living, switching from smoking to vaping can be an excellent way to save. Why not read our blog post on which e-liquid offers the best value for money to make even more significant savings?
Vaping Vs Smoking – Health
E-cigarettes do not burn tobacco and do not produce tar or carbon dioxide, which are two of the most damaging elements contained in tobacco smoke [source]. E-cigarettes are far less harmful to your health than traditional cigarettes.
The UK heavily regulates e-cigarettes to ensure their safety and quality, and as such, they are far healthier than traditional cigarettes. This is still true even if you use vape juice containing nicotine.
Cancer Research UK states that nicotine “is not responsible for the harmful effects of smoking. Nicotine does not cause cancer, and people have used nicotine replacement therapy safely for many years. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is safe enough to be prescribed by doctors” [source].
For people who are looking to stop smoking traditional cigarettes, the NHS reports that a 2021 review found people who used e-cigarettes as an aid to help them stop smoking, in combination with expert face-to-face support, can be up to twice as likely to succeed as people who used other nicotine replacement products (patches, gum, etc.) [source].
In addition, it’s essential to consider the dangers of second-hand smoke (also known as passive smoking) compared with passive vaping. There are currently no known side effects of passive vaping; however, passive smoking has been proven to be highly hazardous to health. If you smoke traditional cigarettes at home or in places where there are other people, you are damaging your health and theirs too.
If you’ve thought about vaping vs smoking and you’re ready to try e-cigarettes, vape juice or any other items from our online shop, we offer free next-day collection from our Swansea location and provide same-day shipping on orders placed online Monday to Thursday before 2:30 pm. We also offer free delivery in the UK on orders over £20 and free delivery within the EU on orders over £75.
With bills rising and people looking to save money wherever they can, we’re looking at what offers the best value for money for vapers – shortfills, premixed e-liquid or mixing kits.
Shortfills
Shortfill e-liquids are 60ml bottles that contain 50ml of juice and room for you to add up to 10ml of nicotine to reach your desired e-liquid strength. Shortfills are an excellent way for customers to buy more e-liquid at a lower price.
At Decadent Vapours, we give you the option to purchase 50ml alone, or you can add a 1.8% (18mg) nicotine shot (that comes in a separate 10ml bottle) to achieve a 3mg strength when mixed at no extra cost. This offers fantastic value.
Our shortfills are made from the finest ingredients and are all third-party tested to ensure they are clean and free from contaminants. Within our shortfills range, we have a selection of fantastic flavours to suit all tastebuds. We have everything from Blueberry Jam Welsh Cake to Baked Cheesecake and Strawberry Delight.
Premixed e-liquid is the most expensive way to vape, as buying 10ml bottles is far more costly than buying shortfills or mixing your vape juice from scratch. Premixed e-liquid is still popular with many, as it offers a hassle-free way to enjoy vaping and is also excellent for beginners who don’t have the knowledge or experience to mix their own.
Our range of premixed e-liquid comes ready to vape and is available in a nicotine-free variety, right up to 18mg varieties. We also have a range of flavours, such as Amber Blend, Lime Zinger, Menthol and Rainbow Fruit. To guarantee the safety and quality of our premixed e-liquid, we frequently batch-test our products to ensure it’s the best on the market.
Mixing kits are a DIY way to vape, and we offer three mixing kits to get you started on your DIY vape juice journey. DIY vaping also is a great way to control the strength and flavour of your vape juice.
There are two downsides to DIY mixing kits. The first is the initial outlay on supplies and ingredients, which puts many people off, but will save money in the long run. The second is that many people don’t know enough about the ratios of Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin to feel comfortable creating their own vape juice.
For those looking to get started and save money over time, our unique DIY mixing kits provide you with everything you need to get started on your mixing adventure. With these kits, you can customise your e-liquid to your taste, selecting the base, strength, and flavour to suit you. There are thousands of combinations and over 100 different flavours to try.
In summary, pound for pound, our shortfills are the best value. Getting started on DIY vape juice with one of our mixing kits is the best option if you are in for the long term. All of our vape juice offers excellent value for money and great taste! Visit our online shop today for a full breakdown of all the vaping products we offer. If you need further assistance, we are happy to have a chat; alternatively, place your order online for same-day shipping (orders placed Mon-Thursday before 2:30 pm) with Royal Mail or DPD. We also offer free next-day collection from our Swansea location.
What is CBD, and why is there so much hype about it?
CBD stands for Cannabidiol and is a natural substance that comes from the cannabis plant and can be used for many purposes. CBD has been gaining popularity in the UK for several reasons. It can relieve anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Taking CBD may also help improve sleep and ease pain and other symptoms. CBD may provide these benefits without a ‘high’ sensation like Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), as CBD is not psychoactive.
Benefits of CBD Oil
CBD oil is made from the extraction of CBD from a cannabis plant diluted with a carrier oil, such as hemp seed oil or coconut oil. Manufacturers can add CBD oil to gummy sweets, drinks, vapes and much more.
Some of the benefits of CBD oil may include
Treatment for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne
Pain relief, especially for those with chronic pain
Seizure prevention/declination (e.g., for those with epilepsy)
Improved sleep quality
Anxiety and depression relief
Help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder
To alleviate symptoms of ADHD
To help with muscle spasms
To relieve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
To help ease diabetic symptoms
There are many different types of CBD products on the market, with new varieties constantly popping up. These are the most popular.
Gummies and other edibles
Capsules
Oils and tinctures
Lotions
Topicals and serums
Vapes
At Decadent Vapours, we sell a range of gummies and vape products and all the products we sell, are 100% legal in the UK
CBD Gummies available from Decadent Vapours
We have a range of CBD gummies from trusted brands such as CD+FX and Orange County CBD. These come in a range of flavours so that there’s something to suit everyone, with everything from CBD gummy hearts to multivitamin gummies for women and men.
For those who want to enjoy a CBD hit in their vape pens, we sell vape pens from brands such as Graded Green and CBD+FX. They come in many fantastic flavours, including mint, raspberry, mango, lemon sherbet, kiwi and strawberry, menthol, grape, sour apple and many more.
Disposable vape pens are perfect for those who want to enjoy all the benefits of CBD through an easy hit from their vape pen.
The effects of CBD will vary from person to person, so the recommendation is to start by using a small amount to see how your body reacts. You can then build this up to higher levels once you know you don’t have any adverse reactions.
If you are ready to purchase, just pop over to the CBD section of our website to view the range available. Alternatively, if you want to speak to a member of staff, we are more than happy to have a chat! Please visit the contact page of our website, where you will find our phone number, email address, postal address, or a simple contact form.

Our Sweetener Mixer is a perfect choice if you have a sweet tooth. We recommend starting with between one and three drops per 10ml of e-liquid and letting this soften sharp notes and add a rich, comforting sweetness.

Enjoy a smooth, creamy taste with this delicious Cream Mixer. This mixer is ideal for adding a silky smoothness to your concoctions, and we recommend adding two to four drops per 10ml of e-liquid.
This gorgeous Brown Sugar Mixer reminds us of baked, caramelised sugar on the top of apple pie, and just a dash of this in your DIY e-liquid recipe will add a deep, delicious sweetness to your creation. We recommend adding one to three drops per 10ml.
Our Menthol Mixer gives your e-liquids or DIY vape juice concoctions a refreshing, minty taste. With this minty flavour, a little drop of this goes a long way, so we recommend starting with just one drop per 10ml of e-liquid.

Nicotine salt has grown massively in popularity in the last couple of years and is very different to freebase nicotine. Previously, vape users could only use freebase nicotine in their vape juice. Freebase nicotine has a higher pH value which many people find to be harsh in strong doses, so the arrival of nicotine salt has been a massive plus for many.
Let’s look at nicotine salt and freebase nicotine and their pros and cons.
Nicotine Salt
Nicotine salt is a type of nicotine found in leaf tobacco, and nicotine salt e-liquids are an effective way of getting nicotine into your body. Many vapers say they prefer using nicotine salts and find inhaling easier. The bio-compatibility of nicotine salt allows many to use more potent liquids, which means they can ingest more nicotine at a time.
Nicotine salts are absorbed into the bloodstream faster than freebase nicotine and provide a nicotine hit similar to that achieved with a traditional cigarette whilst using less e-liquid, which is attractive to many vapers.
Nicotine salts are generally better for those new to vaping and are still smooth in higher doses, providing a mild throat hit. Users can take several puffs without experiencing throat soreness, producing small puff clouds, making it ideal for discreet vaping. Nicotine salts are also best for use with lower-wattage e-cigarettes for the most effective vaping experience.
Freebase Nicotine
Freebase nicotine is the most common alternative form of nicotine and has been around since the 1960s. Freebase nicotine changes nicotine from the so-called salt form (naturally occurring) to the base form, the purest form. This increases the strength without increasing the dose, which is why it’s popular with many vapers.
For new vape users, freebase nicotine in a high quantity would likely produce a throat hit that would be too harsh and would negatively impact their enjoyment. When this happens, users then reduce the nicotine content of their liquid to have a less severe effect on their throat.
Freebase nicotine is purer than nicotine salt and contains no additives, making it attractive to many. E-liquids containing freebase nicotine contain less nicotine, which can help those who wish to transition from nicotine addiction.
One massive benefit for many freebase nicotine users is that it provides maximum flavour complexity, meaning they can enjoy the full vape flavour without it being impacted by the nicotine.
Freebase nicotine is best used by vapers who don’t require high nicotine hit levels. It also works best with higher power wattage devices for the most effective vaping experience and is ideal for sub-ohm vaping. You can find nicotine salt and freebase nicotine juices in our online shop. If you need any further information on nicotine salts and freebase nicotine and which would be the best option for you, our team are here to help. Contact us by calling 01792 897 103, filling in our online contact form, or emailing [email protected].
Vape Expos, also known as VapeCons, are on the rise as the popularity of vaping increases. There are now vape expos across the globe, from Dublin to Dubai and everywhere in between. Several expos occur within the UK throughout the year, with some taking place over one day and others stretching over whole weekends.
E-cigarette or vaping expos allow existing e-cigarette users and new users to come together and increase their knowledge of vape products. They can learn more about e-cigarettes, vaping, vape strengths, vape flavours and much more. The expos give e-cigarette users the chance to try out new flavours, meet and interact with representatives from vape brands and meet like-minded people.
As well as seeing all the recognised brands, visitors to vape expos will find smaller and lesser-known brands. Visitors can try products from these alternative brands that they might not ordinarily find elsewhere. For small companies, vape expos can be an incredible place to launch their brand, find new customers, get feedback from visitors, and then use this information to improve their brand and products.
Vape expos also allow visitors to see demonstrations and learn about new products before officially launching. At many expos, there are competitions where individuals can win e-cigarette prizes and merchandise, and there are competitions for brands to win recognition and awards.
Vape expos usually attract large crowds. As well as everyday vape users, there will usually be some famous faces too. There is a crowd of vaping YouTubers with large followings who review new hardware, liquid flavours and other e-cigarette products and share these with the many thousands who follow their channels. Vape expos will often invite influencers like these to come to their events and share information, pictures, and videos with their followers. If you’re a fan of any vape influencers or YouTubers, keep your eyes peeled for them and don’t be afraid to ask for a selfie or autograph!
At Decadent Vapours, we have a wide range of e-cigarettes and vapours from leading brands like Geekvape, Aspire, Smok, Voopoo, and much more. We stock the best quality pens and vapes on the market so our customers can rest assured they’re getting devices that are reliable and built to last.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published guidance that will allow NHS England to prescribe medicinally licensed e-cigarette products for tobacco smokers who want to quit traditional smoking and vape instead.
This debate is part of plans by government ministers to cut smoking rates in England and would mean England is the first country in the world that can prescribe medicinally licensed e-cigarettes. The government aims to become smoke-free by 2030 in England and 2034 in Scotland. At present, around 64,000 people die from smoking every year in England and this new announcement was widely welcomed by charities, doctors, medical leaders, and health campaigners.
Medicinally licensed e-cigarettes will have to pass even more rigorous safety checks to be approved. Vape manufacturers can now contact the MHRA and submit their e-cigarette products to go through the same regulatory approvals as all other medicines available on the NHS with a prescription.
Once an e-cigarette passes approval with the MHRA, NHS doctors could then be able to prescribe e-cigarettes to patients to help them quit smoking on a case-by-case basis. E-cigarettes are one of the top things that help people quit smoking and were the most popular aid used to help those trying to quit in England in 2020. The number of e-cigarette users was 3.6 million in England, compared with 6.1 million traditional smokers.
However, there are now concerns that as Big Tobacco firms buy up e-cigarette companies, if their products are approved by MHRA and prescribed on the NHS, the NHS would be subsidising the tobacco industry.
Professor Grigg, chairman of the European Respiratory Society’s Tobacco Control Committee, said, “it’s a complex issue…they [the MHRA] deal with a whole range of companies and will probably have to take equal weight from the tobacco industry in their deliberations, and probably can’t favour one device over another. They’ll deal with whoever submits their products for licensing – and the tobacco industry will be more likely to submit a case for their device to be licensed. There’s no way the NHS can subsidise the tobacco industry, but the way this process works may mean it’s inevitable that this will happen.”
Many other industry experts have expressed their fears that the regulatory hurdles required for an e-cigarette to be licensed will be massive and that independent e-cigarette manufacturers simply won’t have the resources, money, and staffing to meet these requirements, whereas manufacturers in the tobacco industry will.
Robert West, Professor of Health Psychology at University College London, said, “this could very easily lead to a situation where tobacco company e-cigarettes with limited effectiveness can be prescribed while much better ones cannot. In my view, no healthcare provider should prescribe an e-cigarette produced by a tobacco company”.
The reality is that, at present, there is no definitive proof of what impact the NHS prescribing e-cigarettes to patients will have in the long run. One in three smokers in the UK say that they have never tried a vaping device, so this move could be a great one in that it will move far more people from traditional tobacco smoking to safer e-cigarette devices which are proven to be better for health. We will be observing the situation ourselves to see how things unfold.
Are you new to vaping and not sure how to buy vape juice online or what the right choice is for you? In the last few years, there has been an explosion of choice when it comes to buying vape juice, which can make it difficult for beginners to know where to start. This quick guide will take you through everything you need to know about buying vape juice online.
Terminology
Depending on where you visit online (or in-person), you may see different terminology used. Vape juice, vape liquid, e-juice and mod juice are all different terms describing e-liquid. E-liquids are what goes into e-cigarettes to inhale as vape.
Vape juice or e-liquid contains three basic ingredients – Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, and flavourings. In addition to this, vape juice can contain nicotine in strengths of 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg and 18mg.
Get Your Nicotine Strength Right
Getting the right nicotine strength is crucial, especially for those attempting to switch from traditional smoking to vaping. In general, people find that the more cigarettes they smoke/d, the higher the nicotine level they’ll want in their e-liquid.
Typically, for a smoker who used to have 20 or more cigarettes a day, they’ll want to opt for the 18mg options and for those who used to smoke less than five a day, 3mg of nicotine is usually the right amount in their vape juice.
Premixed e-liquid – These can come with or without nicotine and come in 10ml sizes. As the name suggests, they’re completely ready for use, so all you have to do is fill your device and begin vaping
Shortfills –These are nicotine-free; however, they have space for a 3mg nicotine shot. All our shortfills come with a free nicotine shot for those who want it
Shake and vape –This is a beginning mixing kit for those who know a bit about the ratios of Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin they’d like. It comes with everything to make 30ml of vape juice, and there are more than 100 flavours available
Choose Your Flavour
Everyone’s tastebuds are different, so we recommend experimenting with a few different flavours to find one (or a few!) that you love. For those switching from traditional cigarettes to vaping, we recommend choosing a tobacco flavour to start.

Millions of people have stopped smoking traditional cigarettes and have begun using vape pens as a safer alternative to smoking. The positive impact on health is clear as vape pens do not produce two of the most harmful products found in tobacco smoke: tar and carbon monoxide.
So, whilst vape pens are much better for people and their health than smoking tobacco, what is the impact of vaping on the environment?
Disposable Vape Pens
Disposable vape pens are non-rechargeable devices that come ready-filled with e-liquid. On average, a disposable vape pen will provide around 300 puffs, similar to a packet of 20 traditional cigarettes. For a pack-a-day smoker, that is, simply put, one pen a day, or 365 pens every year! For someone using just one disposable vape pen per week, 52 devices will still be binned throughout one year, causing a massive amount of waste.
Vape pens designed for single use make up a considerable volume of waste sent to landfills. Some pens can also leak and release metals, battery acid and nicotine into the environment. This waste can contaminate water and animal habitats, making them unsafe for their inhabitants.
Plastic can also take up to 1000 years to decompose, meaning that millions of disposable vape pens will be polluting the earth for generations to come. The plastic crisis is one of the biggest challenges the world has seen, and every single year more than 14 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans, causing damage to habitats, wildlife, and water. [source].
Make the Switch to Reusable, Re-chargeable Vape Pens
By making the switch from disposable vape pens to reusable, re-chargeable vape pens, you’ll make a positive reduction in non-recyclable material ending up in landfill.
On average, reusable vape pens will last over two years before they need replacing. This means the average smoker will dispose of one reusable vape pen roughly every other year, compared with anywhere from 52 to 365 disposable vape pens in a single year! This is a dramatic reduction in waste and will drastically cut down on the adverse environmental effects from the disposal of disposable vape pens.
Dispose of Vape Pens and Components Properly
To further minimise the impact of vape pens on the environment, it’s vital to dispose of them properly once their lifespan has come to an end. Be sure to check the rules and regulations in your area for proper disposal of plastic and batteries and recycle the components you can. Correctly disposing of these products is your responsibility as a consumer.
At Decadent Vapours, we have a wide range of reusable vape pens from leading brands such as Smok, Geekvape, Aspire, Voopoo and more. We stock only the best pens and vapes on the market so that our customers can be sure they’re getting reliable, high-performing devices that will last. As well as this, our iconic e-liquid flavours are known worldwide and have won numerous awards for their delicious flavours.

The vaping world is constantly evolving and the range of devices available to us has exploded, making it very confusing for a first time vaper to understand the differences between them.
Even on our site, we label vaping kits as either starter MTL kits or sub-ohm DTL kits, and to a beginner vaper, they may look the same, but there are important differences.
In this blog post, we will quickly clear up the differences between sub-ohm devices, MTL devices, and newer hybrid devices, so you can be confident that the device you’re buying is right for you. Buying the wrong device is the biggest setback to those looking to switch from smoking to vaping.
If you are completely new to vaping, you may want to start with our Quick Guide to Vaping, which covers everything a beginner needs to know and some popular terminology.
What does direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping mean? DTL stands for direct-to-lung. With DTL vaping, you slowly and smoothly inhale the vapour directly to your lungs, as though you are ‘breathing’ the vapour in, then exhale a magnificent cloud. You don’t necessarily have to fill your lungs like the cloud-chasers do, but can take smaller inhales if you prefer.
What does mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping mean? MTL stands for mouth-to-lung. Considered much more similar to cigarette smoking than the aforementioned inhale, MTL inhales follow the principle of drawing the vapour into the mouth first and then inhaling to the lungs, before exhaling a smaller volume of vapour.
Is it better to inhale DTL or MTL when vaping? There is no right way or wrong way to inhale, it’s down to personal preference. However, if you want to blow the biggest clouds then inhaling DTL using a sub-ohm device is the way to go. You are also unlikely to vape MTL on a sub-ohm device that combines high power and increased airflow in the tank, as it’ll probably make you cough from the amount of vapour.
It is important to note that not all sub-ohm devices are vaped in a DTL way, nor are all MTL devices are vaped in an MTL way. This is down to personal vaping preference, but in most cases, sub-ohm devices are vaped with a DTL inhale.
Sub-Ohm Devices Explained
What is Sub-Ohm Vaping? Sub-ohm vaping is a style of vaping that produces big clouds of vapour and intense flavour.
This is achieved through using a sub-ohm device, which pairs low resistance coils that are less than 1ohm (eg. a 0.5ohm coil) with a battery that can output a high wattage (a lot of power! eg. 150W).
In fact, ‘sub-ohm’ literally means ‘below 1ohm of resistance’.
Nowadays, you can get hybrid devices that can power both sub-ohm coils and MTL coils, such as the Smok Nord 4, which is a 5W to 80W device that can power 0.15Ω to 2.5Ω coils.
However, these hybrid devices provide a “restricted” DTL vaping experience. Advanced vapers looking to have the full DTL experience, should choose a dedicated sub-ohm kit such as the Geekvape Aegis Legend 2. Dedicated sub-ohm kits include powerful batteries and a tank or pod with large airflow openings, which work well with sub-ohm coils to produce large clouds of vapour.
Sub-ohm devices aren’t usually the best option for new vapers; their low resistance coils (<1 ohm) need a lot more power and produce more vapour than MTL devices, which is great for flavour intensity, but not so great when you want to vape higher strength (>0.6mg) as it will be harsh and may even give you a headache if you vape too much. Sub-ohm devices are also more likely to make a new vaper cough and be put off from vaping altogether.
Sub-ohm coils require more power to vape than coils above 1ohm. A 0.2ohm coil requires a wattage of 30-150W, but this range varies between types (the coil will say on it what wattage is best).
Why Do People Sub-Ohm Vape?
Vapers use sub-ohm devices because they deliver more flavour and produce thick clouds of vapour. These are the devices vapers use to perform vape tricks or ‘cloud chase’.
What Are the Different Types of Sub-Ohm Tanks?
Sub-Ohm Tank (with disposable coil)
Perfect for those new to sub-ohming. These tanks are traditional in style (similar to an MTL tank), with a chamber to store e-liquid and a coil of under 1ohm that can be easily disposed of and replaced. Sub-Ohm tanks tend to have a 510 connector, making them compatible with a wide range of mods. An example of this is the Freemax Fireluke 3.
Sub-Ohm Pod (with disposable coil)
Over the past year pod systems that cater to sub-ohm vapers have emerged. These are usually paired with smaller, pocket-sized devices for a more convenient sub-ohm vape. Unlike tanks which can be completely disassembled, the only part of a pod that can be changed is the coil. Pods are usually only compatible with the device or brand they’re made for, but pods that fit a 510 adaptor have been released. An example of these are pods available with the new Voopoo Drag X Pro Kit.
Rebuildable Tank Atomiser (RTA)
These tanks have a chamber to store e-liquid, but lets you build your own coil to your desired resistance on the deck/base. Some RTA’s can be built with more than one coil which provides a thicker vape. An example of this is the popular Dead Rabbit RTA.
Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser (RDA)
This tank also has a deck on which you build your own coil but there is no chamber for your e-liquid to be stored, instead you ‘drip’ the e-liquid straight onto the coil until it is saturated, pop the top back on and puff. You usually can have two or three puffs before needing to ‘drip’ the atomiser once more. Without a chamber, there is less distance for the vapour to travel, this coupled with increased airflow and a large surface area on the coil, means RDA’s produce the biggest clouds and the most flavour. An example of this is the Hellvape Rebirth RDA.
Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomiser (RDTA)
An RDTA is a type of RTA that features a tank that stores e-liquid into which the deck sits above and wicks hang into. This is less popular than the other tanks.
Types of Sub-Ohm Tanks 2021
It is extremely important to have a thorough understanding of ohms law before you build your own coils.
What E-Liquid Should I Use With My Sub-Ohm Device?
Typically those who vape with a sub-ohm device prefer juice with higher vegetable glycerin (VG) to propylene glycol (PG) ratio because it produces more vapour and has less of a throat hit which enables a longer DTL inhale.
Those using a sub-ohm device will prefer a lower strength e-liquid, typically no higher than 6mg/ml as more nicotine is delivered through the larger intake of vapour, and higher strengths will be too harsh with a sub-ohm coil.
Here at Decadent Vapours, we have crafted a range of shortfills with a higher VG base that works well with sub-ohm coils and devices. These shortfills are 0mg but come with an optional free nic shot, which makes the e-liquid 3mg when added to the bottle.
Is Sub-Ohm Vaping Dangerous?
For those sticking to regular pre-built coils and using regulated devices such as those found in our range of sub-ohm kits, then it is just as safe as regular vaping devices.
If you are wanting to use a RDA or RTA to build your own coils, make sure are confident in your knowledge of ohm’s law and how different coil resistances and wattage work together. Watch tutorials, read up on them, and make sure you have the correct testing equipment and tools.
There have been cases in the past where the mod batteries, typically tube mods, used for sub-ohming have exploded due to poor care or ignorance. The FDA has put together this handy pamphlet to avoid battery explosion, which you may find useful.
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Devices Explained
What is an MTL Vaping device? These are the traditional vaping devices that output less power than a sub-ohm device. The coils used are usually above 1ohm, and the tank or pod has a tighter airflow, allowing the draw to feel similar to that of a cigarette.
There is less vapour production with an MTL device, making it a more discreet vape and perfect for those who have just made the switch to vaping.
What E-Liquid Should I Use With My MTL Device?
A good ratio is about 50VG/50PG as this provides a smooth vape with plenty of flavour. Too higher a VG ratio will clog up the coil quickly as it is more viscous and MTL coils have smaller wicking holes, so avoid e-liquids with a VG content higher than 60%.
On the other end of the spectrum; too high a Higher PG ratio will make the vape harsher.
Our premixed e-liquid range is suitable for all MTL devices and features a range of complex flavours to suit all tastes. Our nicotine is some of the finest in the market – filtered, titrated and diluted from 100% pharmaceutical grade nicotine in our proprietary 13-step process to craft the purest and cleanest nicotine, without any ‘peppery’ taste.

Sub-Ohm Kits Vs. MTL Kits
Conclusion
Sub-Ohm is a style of vaping that produces large clouds of vapour and intense flavour.
Sub-ohm devices typically have a powerful ‘mod’ style battery that heats up a low-resistance coil (less than 1ohm).
Those that use sub-ohm devices tend to inhale DTL and use higher VG e-liquid with a lower nicotine strength than an MTL vaper would use, due to the sheer amount of vapour inhaled.
MTL devices output less power than a sub-ohm device and use a tank paired with a coil that has a resistance higher than 1ohm. This produces a draw similar to that of a cigarette, and less vapour is created.
Beginner vapers usually use MTL or restricted-DTL vaping devices before moving on to more complex sub-ohm devices.
It is down to personal preference what style of vaping you enjoy.

The two most common ingredients in e-liquid are Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG). These form the base of the e-liquid, to which the flavour concentrate and nicotine (optional) is added.
Commonly, e-liquid will be made from a combination of both PG and VG and the ratio is usually stated on the bottle (eg. 70VG/30PG). But what are Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine? In this quick and easy guide, we explain what they are, the differences between them, and the benefits of each, so you can decide which ratio will work best for you.
Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG) form the base of all e-liquids and affect the liquid’s thickness, flavour intensity, throat-hit and vapour production.
Different e-liquids have different PG/VG ratios. The PG/VG ratio you need will be determined by your device and coil setup, as well as your personal preference.
What’s the difference between PG and VG?
What is Propylene Glycol (PG)?
Propylene Glycol is a colourless and odourless synthetic liquid used as a base for e-liquid.
PG produces a much stronger ‘throat-hit’ than VG, mimicking the sensation of smoking. Due to this, you will rarely see an e-liquid with a higher PG ratio of 70% as the vape becomes too harsh.
It has a thinner consistency than VG.
It is often considered a ‘flavour carrier’, as its presence helps boost the flavours added to it.
PG is a common ingredient in many foods and products that you use daily, such as toothpaste, soft drinks, bread and dairy products where it is used as an antioxidant, moisture preserver and stabilizer. It is also used in fog machines to create artificial stage smoke.
Vegetable Glycerine is a colourless and odourless natural, syrup-like liquid extracted from vegetable oils.
VG produces more vapour than PG and has a smoother ‘throat-hit’, making it ideal for ‘cloud-chasing’ with a sub-ohm device.
It has a thicker consistency than PG. Due to this, you will rarely see an e-liquid with a higher VG ratio of 80% as the liquid becomes extremely thick and clogs up coils.
VG has a slightly sweet taste which can have a small effect on the overall taste of the e-liquid.
VG is commonly found in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, as it provides several benefits. For example, VG provides a sweet taste and can stop ice crystals from forming in frozen foods such as ice cream.
The FDA has classified vegetable glycerine as “generally recognised as safe”.
The more VG there is in the e-liquid, the longer it’ll take for it to absorb into the wick. This is because the thicker consistency e-liquid takes longer to absorb into the wicking material inside the coil. Make sure you’ve given it enough time to absorb between puffs, or you risk having a nasty ‘dry hit’.

Common e-liquid PG/VG ratios.
What is the best PG/VG ratio?
The PG/VG ratio you use will depend on what vaping device and coil pairing you have.
Image: Geekvape Aegis Pod
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) devices with coils that have a resistance of above 1ohm (Ω) tend to work best with e-liquids that are made up of 60% VG or less.
Above 60% VG the liquid becomes too thick for these coils, causing them to clog up and stop working. Therefore, e-liquids with ratios such as 50PG/50VG or 40PG/60VG would be the best choice for these devices.
Image: Voopoo Drag 3
Direct-to-Lung (DTL) and Sub-Ohm devices typically have coils that have a resistance of less than 1ohm (Ω) and work best with e-liquids that are made up of 70% VG or more.
These coils are designed to work well with thicker VG heavy e-liquids. The higher VG content, paired with low resistance coils, produces far larger and denser vapour clouds. Shortfills with a high VG ratio would be the best choice.
This is a general rule-of-thumb, but you may find some newer coils designed for MTL vaping can accommodate higher VG e-liquids.
There is a reason why many vapers move towards sub-ohm devices as they become more experienced, and that is flavour (and big clouds!).
Although PG is a ‘flavour carrier’, the flavour intensity of higher-PG e-liquids are hindered by the device and coil used. In comparison, sub-ohm devices paired with higher VG e-liquid, produce double the vapour and thus double the flavour!
Some people find different PG/VG ratios work well with different flavour types. For example, the sweetness and full-bodied thick vape of VG compliment the custardy sweet dessert flavours, whilst PG brings out the best in fruit and tobacco flavours.
How does the PG/VG ratio affect the nicotine strength I need?
You may have noticed that e-liquid with a higher PG ratio is available in higher nicotine strengths, whereas higher VG ratio e-liquids typically only reach 3mg. This is because when you vape using a DTL sub-ohm device that’s suited to VG heavy e-liquids, you tend to inhale more vapour (and more nicotine) than you would with an MTL device. Higher nicotine levels would be too harsh in these circumstances.
What’s the difference between PG and VG nicotine (nic shots)?
Nic shots contain a concentrated amount of nicotine dissolved in PG, VG or a mixture of both. Nic shots are unflavoured and used to increase the strength of shortfills and other nicotine-free e-liquids. However, adding them to e-liquid will dilute the other ingredients and have an impact on the overall PG/VG ratio.
If you’re a beginner, then this isn’t something you need to concern yourself with. The nic shots you get for free with our shortfills contain the perfect PG/VG ratio and level of nicotine to create a 70VG/30PG 3mg shortfill.
However, if you begin to mix your own e-liquid, then the nic shot PG/VG base is something you can play around with. DIY e-liquid mixers usually find nic shots with a PG base easier to work with due to thinner liquid consistency.
Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine have been consumed by humans for decades. Both are considered safe for human consumption by US, European and UK food authorities. In fact, PG and VG are common ingredients in many foods, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
PG can commonly be found in:
Toothpaste
Medical products (oral, topical, rectal, inhalation, injectable and drop (eye, ear, and nose))
Theatrical smoke (stage smoke)
VG can commonly be found in:
Ice cream and other frozen goods
Cakes and other baked goods
Natural sweeteners
When it comes to its safety in e-liquid, it is important to note that e-liquid is tightly regulated, especially here in the UK. The TPD, which came into force in the UK in 2014, requires e-liquid and their ingredients to meet strict safety standards and be tested regularly.
Vaping is not considered completely risk free, but the leading health organisations in the UK, including the Royal College of General Practitioners, British Medical Association and Cancer Research UK agree that vaping is far less harmful than smoking. Based on the currently available evidence, Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians estimate they are at least 95% less harmful than traditional combustible cigarettes.
PG Sensitivity and Allergies
In rare cases, people can have sensitivity or allergies to PG, so they choose to vape pure VG-base e-liquid. If you experience any unusual symptoms or irritations stop vaping immediately and consult your doctor if necessary.
If you have just made the switch to vaping, it is likely vaping e-liquid containing PG will cause a dry mouth and sore throat so it is important to stay hydrated. Some people may experience a cough, which will subside within a few weeks.
Conclusion
Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG) form the base of the e-liquid, to which flavour and nicotine are added.
E-liquid contains a mixture of both PG and VG, with the ratio stated on the bottle.
The PG/VG ratio you need depends on your personal preference and the coil resistance used.
Higher VG liquids work better with lower resistance coils (less than 1ohm), whilst 50/50 e-liquids work well with higher resistance coils (more than 1ohm).
High VG e-liquids produce more vapour and have a smoother throat-hit, but the liquid is thick and can clog up coils quickly.
E-liquids with more PG give more of a throat-hit and a sharper flavour. The liquid is thinner than VG, making it ideal for use with coils above 1ohm.
VG heavy e-liquids usually have a nicotine strength of 3mg or less, as anything above this becomes too harsh.
50/50 e-liquids come premixed with nicotine up to 18mg.
For more of a traditional smoking sensation, use an MTL device with a coil of above 1ohm, paired with 50/50 e-liquid.
For maximum flavour, use a sub-ohm coil and higher VG liquid. You inhale double the vapour, and thus double the flavour!
It’s up to you whether you prefer to vape with an MTL or a Sub-Ohm device. Check out our Guide to DTL, MTL and Sub-Ohm for more information on this!
Looking to make the switch from smoking to vaping but don’t know where to begin? This quick guide will take you through everything a beginner vaper needs to know, including what e-cigarette device in 2021 is best for you, the types of e-liquid available and a brief touch on some of the vaping terminology you may hear.
There are two basic types of vaping styles – mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL).
Mouth-to-lung is where you draw the vapour into your mouth first before inhaling into your lungs, and direct-to-lung, as the name suggests, is where you draw the vapour straight to the lungs.
The majority of people switching to vaping from smoking will probably find the mouth-to-lung style more comfortable, as this will ‘feel’ closer to smoking a cigarette.
Why does this matter? Well, it will determine which e-cigarette device you are best suited to.
Generally speaking, a mouth-to-lung device will feel less airy and have a tighter draw (harder to pull on); which again, provides a similar sensation to smoking.
A direct-to-lung set-up will have more airflow and produce more vapour. Typically, these devices are sub-ohm, meaning the coil inside them has a resistance of less than 1 ohm.
If you are new to vaping, we would recommend avoiding sub-ohm vaping until you become more experienced. You inhale far more vapour with them and need to use lower strength nicotine to counteract this.
Check out our blog post on MTL & DTL Vaping for more detailed information.
2. How does an e-cigarette work?
E-Cigarettes and vaping devices have evolved over the last 10 years from your basic disposables and pen-style to more advanced box mods and innovative pod kits, but fundamentally they work the same way:
A battery heats up a coil, which heats up the e-liquid in the pod/tank to form a vapour which is delivered through the mouthpiece.
Below you can learn about the different components that make up an e-cig. These components may look different depending on the type of vape kit you have.
Battery
Provides the power needed to heat the coil. Batteries are available in different capacities, typically the higher the Milliamps Hour (mAh) the longer the battery life. A battery can either produce a fixed-wattage or a variable-wattage output and can be built-in or removable.
Coils
Coils are responsible for heating up the e-liquid in your tank/pod and vaporizing it. A coil has a metal housing containing a wire wrapped around wicking material such as cotton. Coils come in different resistances, depending on if you want to vape MTL or DTL. Coils wear out over time and need to be replaced, typically between a few days and a couple of weeks.
Tank/Pod
A tank/pod holds your e-liquid and houses the coil. Traditionally, e-cigarettes had tanks that screw onto the battery, but in the last few years pods have emerged which provide the same function but clip onto the battery for a more flush appearance. Typically, tanks are connected by a 510 connector pin meaning they can be used with a range of batteries across multiple brands, but pods usually only fit the device they were made for.
Drip-Tip/Mouthpiece
Where the vapour comes out and where you inhale from. Tank devices usually have a removable drip-tip, whereas in pod devices the mouthpiece is built-in.
Tip: You’ll know when the coil needs replacing when it begins to loose flavour or tastes burnt.
3. Which vaping device should you choose?
With so many different devices on the market, it can be confusing to know which to choose. Here we will quickly breakdown the different types of e-cigarette so you can make a more informed decision when purchasing your first kit.

4. What e-liquid should you choose?
E-Liquid has three basic ingredients; PG (Propylene Glycol), VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and flavourings. Nicotine is optional, as you can get e-liquid without nicotine, but 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg and 18mg strengths are available.
Nicotine
Beginner vapers are likely to use nicotine to help curb cigarette cravings, but the nicotine level can be reduced over time should they wish. Typically, the strength you will need depends on previous smoking habits and the device used.
The below table is a handy guide, but be aware that higher-powered box-mods with lower resistance coils (<1ohm AKA sub-ohm) are best paired with lower nicotine e-liquids, such as a 3mg strength, as you inhale far more vapour and this can be harsh with higher nicotine strengths.
E-Liquid Strength
Cigarettes Per Day
3mg
1-5 cigarettes daily
6mg
Up to 10 cigarettes daily
12mg
Up to 20 cigarettes daily
18mg
20+ cigarettes daily
E-Liquid Strength Based Off How Many Cigarettes Smoked
PG/VG Ratio
The ratio of PG/VG varies between e-liquids. PG is thought of as a ‘flavour carrier, whereas VG produces clouds and is smoother to vape. You can read more on this in our dedicated PG vs. VG blog post.
In short:
The higher the VG content, the thicker the juice will be. High VG e-liquids typically clog-up MTL coils with a resistance of more than 1ohm but work well for sub-ohm coils with larger holes.
The higher the PG content, the thinner the juice will be and more flavourful, but can be harsh to vape at higher levels, especially with a <1ohm (sub-ohm) coil
Types of E-Liquid
Premixed e-liquids contain nicotine (optionally) at the point of sale and only come in 10ml due to TPD regulations. They are ready to use and all you have to do is open it, fill your device and vape!
Shortfills are a newer product that took off after the TPD restricted the sale of e-liquids containing nicotine to 10ml. Shortfills are nicotine-free e-liquid which are usually filled to around 80% of the bottle’s capacity so that it has room for a nic shot which will make it 3mg.
All our shortfills come with a free optional nic shot. Just add the nic shot to the shortfill to result in a 3mg strength e-liquid!
Shake & Vape is a beginner mixing kit for when you get a bit more knowledgeable about the PG/VG ratio and flavours you like. The kit comes with everything you need to make 30ml of juice, and there are over 100 flavours to choose from!
A note on Flavour Concentrates: If you are a beginner then this is something you shouldn’t worry about for now. Flavour concentrates are used by people who DIY their e-liquid at home; that is, purchase nicotine, diluent and flavour separately and mix it together. It allows for more customisation of the e-liquid.
Tip: All our vape kits come with an e-liquid best suited to the device and coil it comes with.
5. Which e-liquid flavour should you choose?
Those who are looking to switch from traditional cigarettes to vaping may benefit from vaping a tobacco flavour, to begin with. For a realistic tobacco flavour, try our Virginia or Tobacco e-liquid or for menthol fans, our strong Menthol flavour is for you.
However, a lot of vapers will move on to tasty flavours like sweet and fruit which further prevents them from wanting to go back to smoking. A recent study by ASH revealed that more vapers use fruit flavoured e-liquid than any other flavour.
Below you will find some of the most common vaping terminologies used today:
AG: Aqueous Glycerine. Similar to VG diluent but has distilled water making it thinner. Used by DIY mixing enthusiasts.
All-Day-Vape: An e-liquid that is ideal for vaping throughout the day
Atomiser: Another word for a coil
Cartomizer: The ‘tip’ of a cig-a-like that holds the e-liquid.
Cloud Chasing: Term used to describe vapers who like to use sub-ohm devices to blow big clouds of vapour
Coil: Coils are responsible for heating up the e-liquid in your tank/pod and vaporizing it.
Diluent: The liquid used to dilute the flavourings in e-liquid. Can be PG, VG or AG.
Dry hit: What you experience when the coil burns out or you accidentally forget to top-up the e-liquid. Unpleasant taste.
DTL: Direct-to-Lung. A vaping style in which the user inhales the vapour directly into the lungs.
Flooding: When the e-liquid gets inside the coil and ‘floods’ it, causing gurgling and spitting.
mAh: Stands for milliamps Hour which measures the capacity of a battery. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last.
Mod: A mod refers to a vaping device that provides options for you to customise your vape. This could include things such as Variable Wattage, Temprature Control and Puff Count.
MTL: Mouth-to-Lung. A vaping style in which the user takes the vapour into the mouth before inhaling it into the lungs
Ohms: unit of electrical resistance used to measure the coil resistance. The lower the ohm, the looser the vape draw and the more vapour created.
Passthrough: If a device has passthrough technology, it can be charged and used at the same time.
PG: Propylene Glycol. Referred to as the ‘flavour carrier’, it is a diluent and one of the main ingredients in e-liquid. It has more of a ‘throat hit’ than VG. In some rare cases, people can be allergic to PG and so opt to vape an AG/VG e-liquid.
Priming: You should prime a coil before using it, meaning you allow it time for the e-liquid to soak into the wicking material inside the coil. This reduces the chance of a ‘Dry Hit’
RBA: Rebuildable atomiser. Not something you need to know as a beginner.
RDA: Rebuildable dripping atomiser. Not something you need to know as a beginner.
Resistance: Refers to the coil resistance. The lower the resistance, the lower the ohm.
RTA: Rebuildable tank atomiser. Similar to an RDA but has a tank to hold e-liquid. Not something you need to know as a beginner.
Sub-Ohm: Term used to describe coils that have a resistance of less than one ohm.
TC (Temperature Control): Some devices have a TC feature that enables you to set a temperature that you want to keep the coil at, rather than adjusting the wattage.
Throat-hit: The feeling in the throat when you inhale vapour or smoke. Too much of a throat-hit can be deemed ‘harsh’.
Vape Juice: Another word for e-liquid.
Vaper: A person who vapes.
Vaper’s Tongue: A strange phenomenon whereby if you continue to vape the same flavour, it begins to lose taste because you’ve gotten used to it.
VG: Vegetable Glycerine. A diluent and one of the main ingredients in e-liquid. Has a thick consistency and a slightly sweet taste.
VW (Variable Wattage): Some devices have a VW feature that enables you to adjust the wattage and directly control the power output of your device. Different resistance coils need to be vaped at different wattages.
Wick: Refers to the cotton/wicking material inside a coil that absorbs the e-liquid.

Decadent Vapours, an industry leader in premium e-liquid manufacturing is excited to announce a collaboration with nzo, a global brand in the vaping industry who will provide a new generation pod system filled with Decadent Vapours e-liquid.
The nzo device and flavour pods were launched at The Vaper Expo at the London Olympia last Friday (14/02/2020) and have already been flying off the shelves, with feedback from vapers being highly positive, especially by those looking for a simple alternative to smoking.
The new nzo pod system is designed with ease-of-use in mind. No mess, no hassle, simply choose a flavour and slot the pre-filled pod into the device and inhale. The device is compact in size, lightweight and has a long battery life making it perfect for when you are on the go.
Not only does the device have superior performance, but the design has been inspired by the lightweight feel and smooth lines of Italian supercars; sleek in its looks, light and tactile in the hand.
nzo disposable pods have been designed with airflow and a fuller, smoother flavour in mind. Each pod contains 1.7ml of e-liquid – up to 2 times more than most other pod systems on the market – without the additional cost. Pods are also available in nicotine ranges from 0mg to 20mg, supporting smokers in reducing their nicotine exposure to nil. When the pod is empty, just replace with a full pod – there is no need to refill.
Decadent Vapours will be supplying three of their top flavours to be incorporated into the nzo closed pod system.
American Red: a comforting and familiar tobacco flavour with a soft nutty sweetness and smooth smokey overtones.
Frostbite: an energizing vape of icy menthol and cool, clean peppermint.
Walter Malone: an incredibly refreshing vape of sun-kissed juicy watermelon
Each nzo pod starter kit contains a nzo device, three pre-filled pods in the flavour of your choice and an innovative USB magnetic charging cable.
This is the best pod kit for those looking for convenience and superior performance, or for those making the switch from ‘traditional;’ cigarettes, with each nzo pod lasting twice as long as a pack of 20 cigarettes.
Each device comes with one-year limited warranty, so in the unlikely event you run into problems, simply get in touch and we will replace the device.
Currently, pods are available in 18mg Decadent flavours and 20mg Red Liquid salt flavour as this is the ideal strength for most smokers looking to make the switch. In the next few weeks, we will be releasing 6mg and 12mg, and other nic salt flavours from Red Liquids and Pacha Mama.
Once you’ve been vaping a while, you may want to move into creating your own e-liquid at home. This may seem a daunting task to begin with but once you understand the fundamentals of DIY e-liquid mixing you’ll easily be able to mix up a big batch of e-liquid crafted to your individual taste.
DIY E-Liquid Mixing is what a lot of vapers do to cut down on costs and tailor flavours to their own individual tastes. You buy your choice of flavour concentrates, diluent (PG/VG) and optionally mixer and nicotine. You can mix different flavours together and develop your own e-liquid recipes that are unique and of your own choosing; it can also be a lot of fun! It’s simple to begin and we will walk you through everything you need to know in this guide.
6 Benefits of DIY E-Liquid Mixing
There are numerous benefits to making your own liquid which we have detailed below:
Cost-saving through bulk purchases. Great value for money. It can be expensive to keep buying 10ml or 60ml bottles of your favourite vape juice, but DIY e-liquid mixing allows you to buy larger quantities of flavour concentrates leading to a lower cost in the long-run. For example, a 10ml bottle of e-liquid could cost you £5 but when buying bulk ingredients you can bring the cost for a 10ml bottle down to just £1.69 (based off purchasing 100ml of diluent, flavour concentrates and nicotine).
Craft the taste to suit you. Perhaps you like a particular flavour but wish it was a bit less sweet? When you mix your own e-liquid you can control how much sweetness (or creaminess) you would want, by only adding a small amount of mixer or omitting it altogether. Mixers include brown sugar, cream, icicle drops, menthol, sour and sweetener.
Create your own unique flavours. Ever been looking for a vape juice flavour that doesn’t exist? With DIY e-liquid mixing, you can take matters into your own hands and create that unique flavour yourself from a combination of multiple e-liquid flavour concentrates.
Control the nicotine content. With premixed e-liquid’s you typically have the choice of nicotine strengths of 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg or 18mg. When you mix your own DIY e-liquid you are able to control this level of nicotine more precisely, so in theory could make an 8mg strength nicotine, which would be perfect if you find 12mg too high and 6mg too low.
Choose the right PG/VG ratio for you. Vapers have different PG/VG ratio preferences based on their own personal taste or the types of device you are using. Some people may also be sensitive or have an allergy to PG so need a completely VG based e-liquid. When you mix your own e-liquid you have the option to tailor the PG/VG ratio to you.
Prevent ‘Vapers Tongue’. Vapers tongue occurs when you’ve been vaping the same flavour for a long time and you begin to get used to the flavour and you can’t taste it as much anymore. When you mix your own e-liquid, you can change up the recipe between batches to keep your taste buds active.
What Do I Need to Make My Own E-Liquid?
E-Liquid Flavour Concentrates.E-Liquid concentrates are what give your juice flavour. You can either use one single flavour or experiment by mixing together different flavours to come up with your own unique taste. We stock over 100 different flavours, that can make thousands of different flavour combinations; so you’ll never get bored.
DiluentDiluents are liquids that are used to dilute your e-liquid mix. This is essential as the nicotine and flavourings are highly concentrated, and the diluent helps “carry” the flavour. The most common diluent is propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), but Aqueous Glycerine (AG) is also available. AG is similar to VG, but with the added benefits of it being easier to pour and less likely to gunk up your coils due to the presence of distilled water. You can read more about the difference between these diluent bases and find out which would suit you better in our blog post: PG vs VG.
Nicotine – Nic Shot (optional).Nic shots are diluted with a base before bottling, you can choose the PG/VG ratio that corresponds to your chosen diluent. One thing to remember, is that nicotine has a taste of it’s own, so adding more to a e-liquid mix can alter the flavour of the juice. Ensure you give the nic shot a good shake before use.
Mixer (optional).Another optional add on. Mixers are very concentrated forms of flavourings such as brown sugar, cream, icicle drops, menthol, sour and sweetener. You only need a few drops of these in your e-liquid mix for it to radically alter the taste. Start by adding just 1-3 drops per 10ml of juice.
Bottles.You’ll need some clean bottles or containers to mix the juice in and store it. We find squeezable plastic bottles the easiest to use. Bottles with tinted glass/plastic are also useful for protecting the liquid from breaking down in the light.
Labels.Keep track of which e-liquid is in each bottle and the mix you used by using stick-on labels.
Syringe or scale that measures up to 2 decimal places.A syringe or scale helps you easily measure and dispense the ingredients.
Gloves.Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin so it’s best to wear latex gloves when mixing your e-liquid just in case there are any spillages.
What Strength Nicotine Do I Need for DIY E-Liquid Making?
The formula to know how much of a nicotine liquid to add to the e-liquid mixture is:
Target Strength / Starting Strength * Total Liquid Amount
An example would be that you want 30mls of 0.6% (6ml) strength juice and you have 1.8% (18mg) nicotine liquid. So, 0.6 / 1.8 * 30 = 10ml. You would need 10ml of 1.8% (18mg) nicotine liquid to make 30ml’s of a 0.6% (6mg) strength juice.
If we stick to the 30ml total liquid amount example:
For a final strength of 0.6% (6mg) you would need 10ml of 1.8% (18mg) nicotine liquid with 10ml diluent and 10ml flavour concentrate.
A final strength of 0.3% (3mg) you would need 10ml of 0.9% (9mg) nicotine liquid with 10ml of diluent and 10ml flavour concentrate.

How Do I Mix My Own E-Liquid?
There are only two or three main ingredients you need to create an e-liquid. The first is diluent to which you add a flavour concentrate or a selection of flavour concentrates. Nicotine is optional and so is a mixer (such as a sweetener).
PG/VG ratio is a personal preference and depends on the device you are using. If you are vaping sub-ohm, you should be able to use e-liquid with a higher VG ratio.
Before Beginning:
Calculate the percentages of each ingredient you will need. If mixing nicotine you can follow our guide above to work out how much you need or you may find it helpful to use a DIY e-liquid calculator.
We recommend putting on gloves before beginning to mix your own e-liquid to prevent cross-contamination and prevent nicotine liquid from coming in contact with the skin.
Gather everything you need to mix your e-liquid as mentioned above and have an empty container or bottle ready. Ensure the area you are working in is sterile and always thoroughly clean instruments and bottles after use.
Mixing DIY E-Liquid Steps:
Base.
Using the syringe or scales measure out your diluent and place into the empty bottle or container.
Nicotine (Optional).
If you are adding nicotine then shake the bottle, measure your required amount, and add to the base. It’s best to add too little than too much nicotine, so start small. Nicotine can also affect the flavour of the final mixture.
Flavours.
Add the flavour concentrates you want to the mixture. If you are following an e-liquid recipe which states you need 3% strawberry, this means 3% of the total mixture must be strawberry flavour concentrate. For example, if you are making 30ml of liquid you would require 1.2ml of strawberry flavouring (0.03*30=1.2).
SHAKE!
Make sure the bottle or container is sealed shut and then shake the mixture vigorously to combine all ingredients.
Steep.
You have the option to steep the mixture to let the flavours mature over time. Decadent Vapours flavour concentrates do not require you to steep, but like a fine wine, they do get better with age.
Vape!
Test out your creation! There will be a lot of trial and error when you first start out. With practice, you will begin to craft your very own delicious e-liquid recipes and save money in the long-run.
If you are confused about where to start, we recommend purchasing a Shake & Vape Kit which contains everything you need to get started. You simply mix together the three 10ml bottles in the 30ml empty bottle provided in the kit, shake and vape! There is no need to steep, so if you can’t wait to try your creation, you can vape it straight away.
Do I Need to Steep My DIY E-Liquid Mixture?
This depends on where you purchase your concentrates and ingredients. Certain ingredients may require you to steep the juice for at least 5 days before it can be used, whereas with our concentrates, you can vape the mixture straight away but the flavour profile will still develop over time.
Certain mixtures will need to steep for some time to let the flavours mix, settle and become more pronounced. Typically creamy dessert based mixtures take longer to steep than fruity flavours but this varies with every mix.
Where Should I Store My E-Liquid?
Keep your e-liquid mixture in a child-proof sealed bottle or container and store out of the reach of children and pets. Ideally, keep the e-liquid in a cool dark place out of the way of direct sunlight which can break down your mixture. It’s normal for your e-liquid to change colour over time.
How Long Will My DIY E-Liquid Last?
This will depend on a number of factors such as where you stored it and its exposure to oxygen. If the e-liquid has been in sunlight or heat, the compounds begin to break down and affect flavour and nicotine strength. If stored correctly, e-liquid can last up to two years but this is an estimation and your e-liquid may deteriorate before this.
You can tell if your e-liquid has expired by checking to see if it has separated. Over time the denser elements of the e-liquid will sink and the lighter elements will come to the top, if they don’t mix together again after a shake then it may be time to dispose of the mixture.
Smell and taste will also change over time, so if this becomes unpleasant then dispose of the mixture.
Important Things to Note When Mixing Your Own E-Liquid
Ensure you mix in a clean and sterile environment
Use clean bottles and instruments
Wear latex gloves
Wash your hands before and after mixing
Wear appropriate clothing which you wouldn’t mind getting some juice on
For extra safety wear an eye mask and face mask
There’s a whole new world of e-liquid flavours just waiting to be unlocked through DIY e-liquid. The mixing process doesn’t take long at all and the process of crafting your own flavours over time can be very rewarding. Have fun with the wonderful world of DIY e-liquid mixing!
Frequently, you will find the media blow things out of proportion with their scaremongering news and negative press around vaping.
Cigarettes are attributed to 16% of all deaths in the UK, and whilst millions of people have already made the switch to vaping, some are deterred due to scaremongering news and negative press which focuses on a small number of people with a loose link to e-cigarettes, which in many cases is just false information.
Want to make the switch to vaping this Stoptober but worried about the quality of your e-liquid? Discover how to find the safest e-liquid on the market.
Here at Decadent Vapours – we have always given vapers the chance to purchase our e-liquids in 0% or nicotine-free variants. You can choose from over 30 different nicotine-free e-liquid flavours, ranging from comforting desserts, to powerful and revitalising menthols.
It’s very common for vapers over the years to gradually drop their nicotine strengths; with the move to 0% or zero nicotine being a natural progression – while some switch to 0% the moment they make the switch from smoking.
Many smokers making the switch to vaping will need nicotine in their e-liquid to curb their cravings. And that’s why here at DV we offer a full variety of e-liquids with nicotine, from 0.3% all the way up to the legal limit of 1.8%. We also offer our nicotine boosts, to allow DIY enthusiasts to buy nicotine separately, in order to mix to their own specification.
Here at DV we all love a good vape, and as it turns out, so did our ancestors! The Ancient Egyptians were known to ‘vape’ herbs and oils by using hot stones and the well-known shisha has been widely used in India for thousands of years, before making its way into Western hands. There, a fine Victorian fellow by the name of Dr Nelson invented the ‘Nelson inhaler’ in 1865 to treat various respiratory ailments through the inhalation of drugs and other, remedial substances.
For vaping beginners, the thought of actually mixing your own flavours may seem a bit daunting, but once tried, it can be an incredibly fun and extremely rewarding pastime.
One of the many advantages of vaping, beyond the obvious health benefits, is the variety it offers. Smokers tend to find a cigarette they like and stick with it, but with vaping, as with a cup of your favourite hot beverage, you really can have it exactly how you want it.
Thanks to the sterling support of DV’s customers, we’re delighted to report that we were victorious at the 2015 ECIGCLICK awards, winning in five categories!
To thank you for helping us a achieve a victory sweeter than Welsh Taffi mixed with Candyfloss, we’ll be announcing our biggest give away yet in the very near future.
Last Friday, 3 of the DV team set sail in their new DV ‘Steam machine’ for a very long journey. With a maximum speed of 55mph you can see why it took them 6 hours to get from Warwickshire to the ECE Expo in Harrogate, Yorkshire (a car would have got you there in 2.5 hours).
