General E-Liquid Advice
General Advice
- A Vape-Liquid is a combination (a mixture) of a number of components, all our e-liquids will contain Flavourings, Propylene Glycol, Aqueous Vegetable Glycerine, (in varying degrees depending on flavours and ratios).

- All our Vape-liquids are made in small batches, to stringent controls, in our own cleanroom.
- We advise that when you receive them you allow enough time for the flavours to marry, develop and mature before vaping, this is called steeping and it allows the flavour of the Vape-liquid to reach its optimum. a good indication is the bottle date, if its been bottled 2 weeks or more, its considered ready in most cases, custards, creams and dessert based liquids can take slightly longer to reach their full potential, while some fruit flavours may be ready sooner.

Disclaimers
Be advised that some flavours may not be suitable for use in polycarbonate tanks as they may cause cracks in the plastic.
We will not be held responsible for damaged equipment, you use the Vape-liquids in your vape equipment at your own risk.
The use of E-Liquids and ‘Vaping’ is a relatively new concept, time trials and medical studies are few and far between, quantified results and information about any potential risks therefore are hard to find.
There is much speculation about the safety concerns of using E-Liquid and the components that are used to make it.
We advise that you carry out your own research on the subject, and make up your own mind.
If you decide to use our E-Liquid, you agree that you do so at your own risk.
