Is it necessary to ripen composite liquids? Here are all the clarifications on this topic
If you have heard of compressed liquids for electronic cigarettes and are unsure how to use them, it is only natural that you are trying to find out more about them.
If you do not have the correct information, you may end up using the liquids in the wrong way, resulting in an unpleasant smoking experience.
Bottle with special-tasting e-cigarette liquid for vaping
In this article, we will talk about the maturing of composted liquids, particularly explaining whether it is necessary, why it is necessary, and how long it should take.
Here is everything you should know before using split vape liquids.
How to use split liquids?
The maturing of composted liquids puts many new vapers in a quandary, as they are not quite sure how to use these products.
Before we go any further, it should be made clear that these particular liquids consist mainly of flavoured propylene glycol.
They are usually packaged in 60 ml bottles containing only 20 ml of this mixture. The rest of the space is devoted to adding the other ingredients, i.e. vegetable glycerine or e-liquid base and possibly liquid nicotine.
Split liquids are not ready-to-use products but concentrates that require dilution.
How are they used?
The procedure is very simple. Once you have chosen the split liquid, you open the bottle containing 20 ml of the product and, if you want to obtain a nicotine-free e-liquid, you add only 40 ml of vegetable glycerine.
If you want to make an e-cigarette liquid with nicotine, you should add 30 ml of vegetable glycerine and 10 ml of nicotine base.
In both cases, if the bottle is transparent, you will see that the ingredients remain separate. To mix them, then, all that remains is to shake the whole thing vigorously for a while.
At this point, you are probably wondering whether the doses we have discussed are standard or whether 20 ml of the split liquid can be diluted with more significant amounts of vegetable glycerine.
Diluting the split liquids too many results in a final product in which the vape flavours are too light and almost imperceptible. Therefore, it is best to follow the manufacturers’ guidelines, considering that there are also bottles of split liquids that contain 10 ml, 15 ml, or 25 ml of product.

Split liquids: How long to wait after mixing?
After vigorously shaking the diluted composite liquid with the other ingredients, you have to ensure that the resulting mixture has a homogeneous appearance.
But can the liquid be used immediately, or does it have to be allowed to mature?
Yes, it is theoretically possible to use freshly diluted split liquids, although each brand of e-liquid gives its instructions. However, you should bear in mind that liquid glycerine is a very dense substance, so it takes some time to homogenise perfectly with the aroma.
Therefore, it is advisable to wait at least a few hours before vaping them, or you can let the mixture rest for up to two or three days, taking care to shake it daily, at least once and for a few minutes.
So the maturation period for split liquids is concise?
Yes, it is unnecessary to wait for weeks or a month before using them; on the contrary, waiting too long is not recommended because the aromas may alter and become unpleasant.
What is the difference between split liquids and concentrated flavourings?
Before concluding, to clarify the ideas of confused vapers, we would like to point out the differences between compressed liquids and concentrated flavourings for electronic cigarettes.
Blended liquids consist of flavourings diluted in propylene glycol, which, once mixed with the rest of the ingredients, need a short maturation period. They are usually sold in 60 ml packs containing only 20 ml of the product to be diluted.
Concentrated e-cigarette flavours, on the other hand, require a longer maturation time (up to several weeks). Therefore, they are usually sold in 10 ml bottles, from which, depending on the concentration of the flavourings, you can obtain from 50 ml to 200 ml of e-liquid through dilution.

To conclude
As we have seen, split liquids do not need to be matured, but rather a little time to homogenise them properly.
Preparing them is simple. All you need is a measuring cup with the other ingredients, and you’re done!
