E-liquid types - page 3
In the world of electronic cigarettes, there are as many needs as there are vapers. The fuel that goes in your e-cigarette, i.e. e-liquid, can also vary depending on what effect you're after.
This is why manufacturers and the vaping market as a whole continuously strive to offer various e-liquid formats, so that every vaper can find the right juice for his particular needs.
As a reminder, e-liquids are made from a mixture of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin which, when heated by the e-cig's coil, produces a certain amount of vapour. If your goal is to quit smoking with the help of an electronic cigarette, it's important to choose your e-liquid wisely.
With or without nicotine, flavoured, with nicotine salts, in small or large bottles, with CBD, the choice is yours! Discover all the options available to you for quitting tobacco in an efficient and pleasant manner!
Choosing your type of e-liquid
As you'll see throughout this guide, there are several kinds of electronic cigarette e-liquids. Each one of them has different properties so that you can find the perfect juice for your daily vape.
It's important to clearly define your specific needs before you choose an e-liquid, especially in regards to the nicotine dosage and the volume.
Indeed, if you use a powerful device that vaporises a large amount of e-liquid with each puff, it can be a good idea to go for a large bottle with a low nicotine dosage.
Also, you'll need to ask yourself whether you want to use nicotine salts or traditional nicotine before you pick an e-liquid, depending on your particular preferences and nicotinic needs.
Maybe you're looking for the relaxing effects CBD can offer? Know that electronic cigarettes are one of the best tools for consuming this molecule. You'll also find a wide variety of e-liquid types on our webshop.
Finally, it can be a good idea to choose an e-liquid from a renowned brand to start off with, so as to avoid any unpleasant surprises. At A&L, we strive to offer the best e-liquids from the best manufacturers, all at an affordable price, just for you!
Nicotine salt e-liquids:
In order to offer an alternative solution to vapers who are quitting smoking or nicotine altogether, e-cigarette manufacturers now produce e-liquids with nicotine salts in them.
Thanks to a different extraction process, they can produce a nicotine molecule that's closer to the one found in nature. When inhaling nicotine salts, the nicotine is very rapidly absorbed by the body, so you get a similar feeling to that of a classic cigarette, which is very interesting when you're quitting smoking.
However, this it at the expense of the throat hit (the muscle contraction you feel in your throat when the vapour passes through), which will be softer than with a normal e-liquid. This may bother some vapers. Indeed, the hit is an important effect for smokers, and electronic cigarettes are able to replicate it provided you use a tight draw and a sufficient nicotine dosage. Thus, nicotine salts may not be suitable for everyone, but they can still help many vapers with their withdrawal process:
- Heavy smokers often prefer them to 'normal' e-liquids with high nicotine dosages, which can sometimes be a problem for them.
- Beginner vapers who want the same rapid nicotine absorption than with traditional cigarettes.
- Vapers for whom the e-liquid hit is too strong and bothersome can also use nicotine salts to increase their nicotine level without feeling this inconvenience.
- If you're unable to vape as often as you need to feel satisfied, because of your job for example, then nicotine salts can also come in handy because of their absorption speed.
If you're one of these cases, or if you simply want to try nicotine salts as part of your nicotine withdrawal, you can find a large choice of liquids on our webshop. The best products on the market are just a click away!

CBD e-liquids
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid that's naturally found in the cannabis plant. It's very different from THC, as it isn't a psychoactive molecule (meaning it has no effect on the brain). Its relaxing and anxiolytic properties are used in many e-liquids.
Its bioavailability rate reaches 20% when inhaled, whereas it's only 10% when swallowed. So, you get much better results in e-liquid form, which is what makes electronic cigarettes so great for consuming CBD.
However, in France at least, the sale of this molecule is tightly regulated, which is why we make sure to offer you only the products that meet the criteria and standards imposed by French law.
Our website's selection of quality CBD e-liquids from the most renowned manufacturers will allow you to discover this molecule in the best conditions.

10ml e-liquids
If this is the most common e-liquid format on the market, it's because it's the only one that's legally allowed to have nicotine in it.
Indeed, since the European Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) has been enforced, 10ml e-liquids are the only ones that can contain nicotine. The law states that the maximum capacity for a liquid with nicotine in it is limited to 10ml, and with a maximum content of 20 mg/ml. This is why you'll see this 10ml format called 'TPD Ready' sometimes.
Therefore, you can't turn to the big bottles of old anymore. If you want a large amount of e-liquid with nicotine in it, there's another solution.
Shortfill e-liquids
Here is the solution manufacturers have come up with. It's an effective way of getting around the law while respecting it, and it allows you to acquire large quantities of e-liquid in one go.
Known as 'shortfill' or 'longfill' e-liquids, they come in large bottles that are filled up to a certain point so that you can pour 'nicotine boosters' in them. The most popular bottle sizes are 60 and 120ml. You can even find some 1L bottles sometimes.
These e-liquids don't contain any nicotine, therefore you have to add the nicotine yourself, using one or more 'boosters', each with a 20mg/ml nicotine content. Pouring these into the e-liquid bottle will increase its nicotine dosage until you achieve the desired level for your specific needs.
