Welcome to our September 2026 Picks Of The Month!
With the new UK vape tax getting closer, this month we are taking a look at a few standout products that could be worth adding to your next order and stocking up on while current prices still apply.
From customer favourites, to picks from the Make My Vape team, we have selected a mix of products worth checking out.
Let’s dive into this month’s Picks of the Month.
Taking the number one spot this month is our very own Make My Vape VGPG Mix.
VG and PG are two of the essential ingredients used when making your own e-liquid and our VGPG Mix makes the process even easier by combining both in one bottle. It is already a firm favourite with thousands of Make My Vape customers. Choose from 50VG/50PG, 70VG/30PG or 30VG/70PG ratios depending on your preferred mix. Available in 500ml, 1 litre and 2 litre bottles, it is a simple way to get your base ready for your next recipe. With the new vape duty arriving from 1st October, larger volume products like VG and PG will be some of the most financially affected. If you regularly mix your own e-liquid, now is a sensible time to stock up on the VG and PG you know you will use.
Coming in at number two is one of our most popular products, the 18mg PG Nicotine Shot. Just like our first pick, nicotine shots are a key part of DIY e liquid mixing. Each 10ml bottle contains 18mg nicotine per ml in a PG base and makes it quick and simple to increase the nicotine strength of your finished e liquid.
For example:
• Add 1 x 10ml nicotine shot to 50ml of flavoured base to make 60ml of 3mg e liquid
• Add 2 x 10ml nicotine shots to 40ml of flavoured base to make 60ml of 6mg e liquid
With the upcoming vape duty applying to e liquids from 1 October, nicotine shots are another product worth considering when planning what you regularly use. This product has been emissions tested and notified in compliance with TPD requirements.

Taking the number three spot is the hugely popular Extreme Ice by Flavor West. This is a seriously strong icy menthol flavour that delivers a crisp cooling hit. It works brilliantly on its own at around 5% if you enjoy a bold minty vape but it is also a favourite for adding an icy finish to other flavours.
Try mixing it with Sweet Strawberry, Cotton Candy or Watermelon to add a cool and refreshing edge to your recipe.
Available in 10ml, 50ml, 100ml, 250ml and 500ml bottles, Extreme Ice is a great one to have in your DIY collection if you like your flavours seriously cold.
Coming in at number four is a fan favourite from Drip Hacks, Forbidden Fruits. This bold fruit blend brings together blackberries, raspberries, blackcurrants and blueberries for a deep juicy flavour packed with wild berry character. It is smooth, naturally sweet and finishes with a rich fruity taste that keeps you coming back for more. Forbidden Fruits comes as a 250ml Bottle Shot containing 50ml of flavour concentrate, leaving plenty of room for you to add your VG, PG and nicotine.
You can build the rest of the recipe yourself using our e-liquid calculator or choose one of our nicotine shot bundles to make mixing even easier. Bottle Shots are a brilliant option for DIY vapers looking to make larger quantities of e liquid while getting better value than buying multiple smaller bottles.
If rich berry flavours are your thing, Forbidden Fruits is definitely one to add to your stock up list.
And finally at number five is the world renowned Vampire Vape with one of its most iconic flavour concentrates, Pinkman. Available in both 10ml and 30ml bottles, Pinkman is a PG based flavour concentrate packed with a bold mix of fruity flavours. Vampire Vape recommends mixing at 10% to 20%, depending on how strong you like your flavour. Vampire Vape says: “A flavour that will have all you fruity vapers wondering why we didn’t make this sooner. A mouth watering fruit explosion on your taste buds is about to erupt!”
Thank you for checking out our Picks of the Month! We hope you’ve found something new and exciting to try. See you again next month with even more great picks!
