FAQ – E-Liquids at Viweedy
What exactly is an e-liquid?
An e-liquid is the liquid that is vaporized in e-cigarettes. It typically consists of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavoring, and optionally nicotine. The composition affects vapor production, flavor, and throat hit.
What types of e-liquids are there?
A distinction is made between:
-With nicotine (e.g. 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, 20 mg NicSalt)
-Non-nicotine (pure aroma experience)
-Nicotine salt liquids (NicSalts) : milder on the throat, ideal for pod systems
-Freebase Liquids : classic nicotine, stronger throat hit
Which nicotine strength is right for me?
For guidance:
-3–6 mg: for light to moderate smokers
-12–18 mg: for heavy smokers
-20 mg NicSalt: for maximum saturation with low vapor production
It is also possible to do without nicotine – for example, to reduce nicotine intake or for pure enjoyment.
Are there e-liquids without nicotine?
Yes – many e-liquids are available nicotine-free. They offer full flavor without the addictive potential. Ideal for those switching from traditional cigarettes or occasional vapers.
How long does an e-liquid last?
Depending on the drawing style and device, 10 ml is approximately sufficient for:
- MTL (mouth-to-lung): 4–7 days
- DL (Direct-to-Lung): 2–4 days
Those who vape a lot need more frequent refills.
How much does e-liquid cost in Switzerland?
Prices vary depending on the brand, nicotine content, and quantity. Typical prices are:
- 10 ml NicSalt Liquid: CHF 5.90 – 9.90
- 50 ml Shortfill (without nicotine): CHF 12.90 – 19.90
How do you store e-liquid correctly?
Store in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and keep the bottle tightly closed. Consume opened liquids within 6 months.
How long does e-liquid last?
Unopened, it usually lasts 1–2 years from the production date. Opened bottles should not be left open for months – the taste and effect deteriorate.
What is the difference between base and liquid?
A base is the nicotine-free foundation (PG/VG) to which flavoring and, if desired, nicotine shots are later added. E-liquids are pre-mixed products – ready to vape.
Can I mix my own e-liquids?
Yes, with the right base, flavoring, and optionally nicotine shots, you can create your own custom e-liquid. Ideal for experienced vapers – or those looking to save money.
How can I recognize high-quality e-liquids?
- Clear declaration of all ingredients
- Production in certified laboratories (e.g. EU/CH)
- No unnecessary additives
- Fresh taste and stable vapor production
How do I find my favorite e-liquid?
By experimenting! Start with well-known brands or classic fruit flavors, then vary the aroma, nicotine content, or VG/PG ratio.
Are e-liquids safe for health?
Significantly less risky than tobacco cigarettes – but that's no free pass. Vaping is not harmless and is not suitable for non-smokers, young people, or pregnant women.
