We’re starting to see reputable vape stores, like Digital Imports, offer custom options of high-quality brands such as Vibe, Slice, Dispo Drip, BlackJet, and This Bru MFG. By offering this amount of customizability to the vape market, vapers are able to save money, find the perfect puff, gradually reduce their nicotine intake, and find the best suitable juice for their device and coils. Let’s explore how.

Cost-Effectiveness

With how the Vape Tax has hit the market, vapers are looking for more ways to save money. To better understand the math, the vape tax can be broken down like this:

First 10ml of juice in the bottle costs $1.12 per 2ml; and
After the first 10mL, the juice will cost $1.12 per 10ml

This calculates to the following:

30mL bottles will cost about $7.84 in additional taxes;
60mL bottles will cost about $11.20 in additional taxes; and
120mL bottles will cost about $17.92 in additional taxes;

Customizable e-juice is cost-effective because it allows vapers to choose the amount of liquid they want. This opens up your options to bulk-sized bottles, allowing you to get more liquid at a reduced cost. For example, a 60ml bottle of salt-nic e-juice averages about $51 per bottle - compared to a 120ml custom bottle at about $99, you’re paying the same tax costs but receive twice as much juice.

The customizable size also helps with letting you try new juices without committing to a large bottle. This reduces the likelihood you will be stuck with a juice you don’t like while choosing options to make your vape experience more satisfying.

A Perfect Amount of Nicotine Per Puff

Standard bottles of freebase typically come in 0mg, 3mg, and 6mg options for nicotine strength. Salt-nic will generally come in 12mg or 20mg (in Canada). Custom e-liquids allow you to fine tune your nicotine strengths to provide a better experience by influencing the following factors.

Throat-Hit

Higher nicotine levels are generally harsher on the throat. Salt-nic helps smooth out the nicotine for higher levels but can also feel heavy in the throat. The custom bottles of Slice, This Bru MFG, Vibe, Slice, and Dispo Drip custom bottles come in increments of 0.5mg, from 0mg up to 20mg, so you can find the nicotine level that works best for you.

Nicotine Satisfaction

If you feel like 12mg isn’t enough, but 20mg is a little too much, custom juices let you pick the sweet spot in between so you can enjoy every puff. Some brands also allow you to choose your nicotine strength down to 0.5mg. Custom e-juice is also beneficial if you’re looking for a little bit more nicotine, but find the standard level-jump feels too heavy and harsh.

They Help Gradually Reduce Nicotine Intake for Quitting

With more intricate nicotine levels, custom e-juice is the perfect tool to help people gradually reduce their nicotine. Many vapers struggle with quitting due to the gap between nicotine levels. When dropping from 20mg to 10mg, most people end up going through juice faster and vaping more to satisfy their nicotine cravings, which is counter-intuitive if you’re trying to quit. By gradually reducing your nicotine, you can slowly reduce your intake while still getting the satisfaction from each puff.

It Helps Find The Best Juice For Your Particular Device

Custom e-liquids also help vapers find the right juice that will work with their device. E-liquids have different VG/PG ratios that determine the thickness of the juice and how well the flavours and nicotine bind to the oils. They will typically come in either 70/30 or 50/50, with the latter being more runny. Some juices work better with certain coils than others; a general rule of thumb is that nic-salts are typically 50/50 to accommodate the smaller wick channels of coils and pods. Custom e-juice benefits this by letting you use the ratio that works best with your coil which results in a reduced amount of leaking, spitback, and dry hits.

Switching to custom e-liquids solves a lot of the problems vapers may face. If you’re short on time, here’s a quick breakdown of the benefits of custom e-juice.
