Match VG/PG + nicotine to coil

Match VG/PG ratio to coil resistance always. Sub-ohm coils need high VG (70%+ VG) shortfills + nicotine shortfills + freebase nicotine usually 0-6mg/ml. MTL coils need 50/50 PG/VG with nic salts (10mg or 20mg/ml UK max). RDL coils (around 0.6-0.8Ω) flexible with 50/50 or 70/30. Wrong combinations cause issues high VG in MTL = dry hits + burnt; 50/50 in sub-ohm = leaking. Match nicotine strength to vaping style sub-ohm with 0-6mg/ml freebase (high mg in sub-ohm too harsh); MTL with 10-20mg/ml nic salts (smoother delivery enables higher nicotine). Heavy smokers transitioning typically start 20mg/ml nic salts then reduce. Light smokers 10mg/ml nic salts. Long-term vapers often reduce to 5mg/ml or 0mg/ml shortfills. UK TPD compliant. UK 18+ age verification. Buy genuine from established UK retailers (UK Companies House + VAT registered + UK Trading Standards monitored). Made in PRC.

UK TPD compliance + counterfeit prevention

UK Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) e-liquid compliance critical. UK TPD limits include nicotine maximum 20mg/ml; e-liquid bottle maximum 10ml (with nicotine); shortfill bottles can be larger (50ml + 100ml + 200ml) because they don't contain nicotine + nic shots added separately; sub-ohm tank maximum 2ml. All ingredients listed on packaging. UK 18+ age verification required. Counterfeit e-liquid common online + significantly cheaper but unsafe ingredients + poor flavour + potential harm. Always buy genuine from established UK retailers (UK Companies House + VAT registered + UK Trading Standards monitored). Genuine e-liquid features official brand packaging + clear ingredient lists + nicotine strength clearly marked + batch number + expiry date. UK consumer rights faulty products = retailer replacement obligation. UK TPD compliant. UK 18+ age verification. Buy genuine from established UK retailers (UK Companies House + VAT registered + UK Trading Standards monitored). Made in PRC.
