50ml vs 10ml E-Liquid: Which One to Choose?

The Fundamental Difference

In France, regulations require:

  • 10ml Bottle: mandatory if the e-liquid contains nicotine. Strength from 0 to 20 mg/ml.
  • 50ml Bottle: nicotine-free (0 mg/ml). Packaged in a 60ml bottle filled to 50ml to leave room for 1 or 2 boosters.

When to Choose 10ml?

  • You want to try a new flavor without spending 20€
  • You need a nicotine strength above 6 mg/ml
  • You use a small pod or MTL clearomizer (low consumption)
  • You're traveling (compact size)

When to Choose 50ml?

  • You've found your favorite flavor and want to stock up
  • You vape sub-ohm (higher consumption)
  • You want to save money in the long run
  • You're into DIY and add your own boosters

Tip: Turn a 50ml into a Nicotine E-Liquid

Buy a 50ml bottle + 1 or 2 20mg nicotine boosters. Add the booster(s) to the bottle, shake, let sit for 24 hours. You get a 60ml e-liquid at 3mg or 6mg for under 20€.
