 +=== Propylene Glycol (PG) ===
  
 PG Has a really thin consistency, like water. It adds minimal throat hit, and it produces minimal clouds. More PG content works great in atomizers that doesn't wick well as this base is relative thin in the consistency. Adding some PG can potentially increase the throat hit by a touch. Some users may experience an irritations using too much PG as a "thickly" feeling in the throat. PG Has a really thin consistency, like water.

 Nicotine is the main base that will satisfy your throat hit. Increase or decrease depending on your preferred throat hit. They are available in PG base, VG base, and in a mix also called "VPG". It's recommended to purchase your nicotine base in PG because it's easier to shake it before use. Always shake the nicotine base so the PG/VG base and the nicotine blends well together. Nicotine is the main base that will satisfy your throat hit.

 Distilled Water can be an alternative replacement for PG.

 These are great for your PG/VG base, since they are easily available in 250ml and 500ml with your preferred nozzle. Nozzles that you can cut to your preferred depth is recommended as you can choose how fast of a stream you want. This is a neat trick to pour your thick VG base faster and still be accurate for bottles with a narrow neck. They usually come in either 24mm or 28mm neck, and "Boston bottles" are more narrow than "regular bottles" for a better grip, but also taller. These are great for your PG/VG base, since they are easily available in 250ml and 500ml with your preferred nozzle.

 These are great for transferring nicotine and concentrates that doesn't have a nozzle to your E-liquid bottle. They are fairly inexpensive, and you can toss them after use without feeling guilt, and the benefit is no cleaning compared to syringes. You will be able to find 100x for around €5 the 3ml version. These are great for transferring nicotine and concentrates that doesn't have a nozzle to your E-liquid bottle.

-==== Scale ====+=== Scale ===
 A Digital jewelry scale is recommended for mixing E-liquid. For extra precision your scale should measure down to .01g and support up to 250-500g. The "tare" feature is also recommended so you can reset the numbers when changing base/concentrates. A Digital jewelry scale is recommended for mixing E-liquid.

-===== Nicotine base =====+
 Store your nicotine base inside glass bottles with a proper cap so the air cannot escape. Air will degradly ruin your nicotine base over time, and it's recommended that you store your nicotine in 50-100ml bottles. Do not store your nicotine base in large bottles since this will trap a lot of air inside a bottle over a long period of time. You should store your nicotine in a cool and dark room. Good way to store your nicotine base is inside fridge or a freezer since it's cool and dark. Your nicotine base will not freeze. Store your nicotine base inside glass bottles with a proper cap so the air cannot escape.
