Do you want nicotine content? DIY is pretty easy you buy PG or VG with nicotine, I buy 100mg then cut it down with PG or VG with no nicotine I cut mine down to about 12mg, if you don't flavor you can skip buying flavorings.
D.I.Y & Mixing - VG & PG Base Not sure if any of the nicotine suppliers I use will ship to Europe so can't reccomend anyone for that but Liberty Flights also ships out of the UK.

Welcome to the forum! You're going to want to go here : DIY e-liquid

Tons of information and it's a little overwelming at first, but it can become a fun hobby

Propylene glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are the main ingredients in E liquid besides nicotine and flavorings the PG gives the throat hit and VG add's some sweetness and makes vapor. the most common ratio is about 70/30 PG to VG but if you just want to puff and make vapor 100% VG would work fine. You can buy straight food grade VG in some craft and bakery supply stores with pure VG you'll want to water it down a little bit 100% VG is bit thick in its consistency, in my mixes I make it 90% VG and 10% Vodka but you can use distilled water or pure grain alcohol.

Why not start out telling us what kind of unit you are using louiselbest so we can better assist you?
DIY is not something to jump into willy-nilly and from the sounds of it you would be better off buying no nicotine flavor juice to vape and the juice itself is much cheaper than buying pre-filled cartridges.

maybe you can test it first : for example , 50%VG +50PG , how to that ? you can buy 1 pc 5ml e-liquid ( PG ) , and buy 1 pc 5ml e-liquid ( VG ) , Then you can use a empty bottle ( 10ml ) , mix the 2 types e-liquid .

Why not?
DIY is easy - and fun. And it costs me about 37 cents for 5ml as opposed to $2.50........no nic would be even cheaper.

I have to agree with Nightseer. After doing a little reading about the basics, DIY is pretty easy. If you're mixing up 0 nic juice, it's just that much easier because (JMO here) you don't have to be as precise about it.

By saying willy-nilly, I am pretty much saying doing the research and learning is required

OP has/had 3 posts altogether and has expressed little knowledge of common terms.
I guess my reaction of just telling people to do this and do that made by well experienced folks albeit made with the best intentions, seems to be done too quickly without all the facts, at times.

What kind of e-cig is louise using? Can she even do DIY with it?
She's also in Paris, so what vendors are available to her?

just saying.....
