Liquids & ingredients
Shake and vape
Shake and vape describes a format in which the designated components are combined in the retail bottle and dispersed by shaking. The product information alone specifies which components are required and whether a waiting period is intended.
01
Classification
Shake and vape describes a liquid format – the way a product is bottled, dosed or finished before use. Format and container size are directly linked to labelling obligations and the permitted nicotine strength. In the editorial structure of this glossary, Shake and vape is one of 76 entries under Liquids & ingredients, described there deliberately without any purchase recommendation.
02
Practical relevance
When buying, Shake and vape decides how much preparation is required and how long a product can sensibly be stored. The format also determines how precisely a desired nicotine strength can be reached at all. The practical value of Shake and vape shows less at purchase than afterwards – with spare parts, warranty questions and eventual return.
03
Handling it safely
Always store products in Shake and vape form sealed, out of children's reach and away from food. Decanting into unlabelled containers is a common cause of mix-ups and must be avoided. When in doubt about Shake and vape, take the conservative option: better to interrupt use than to accept a risk.

Not to be confused with
Product copy often puts Shake and vape and High-VG liquid in the same sentence, while Base liquid describes a different level and must not be equated with them. In case of doubt, it is not common usage that decides but what the manufacturer and – particularly important within Liquids & ingredients – the applicable rules stipulate.
