Some people who take up vaping like to be hands-on and choose a mod device to customise it to their tastes and preferences fully. Making vape juice is a relatively simple thing to do, and you will need a few essential ingredients and some equipment. Once you have everything you need, you can create flavour concoctions at home and take an active role in helping yourself to quit smoking for good. Below are some pointers on how you make your vape juice to help you get started.
The Ingredients & Equipment You Will Need
The list of ingredients to make your tasty e-juice at home is relatively short, and everything is readily available online or at specialist health food stores. The ingredients you will need are as follows:
- Propylene Glycol (PG)
- Vegetable Glycerine (VG)
- Liquid Nicotine
- Flavourings
As well as the ingredients, you will also need some essential equipment, and these are also simple to purchase with many online retailers stocking what you will need. The equipment you will want to buy includes:
- Storage Bottles
- E-Liquid Bottles
- Pipettes
- Gloves
- A Mixing Container
- A Funnel
Once you have everything you need, you are all set to start making your unique vape juice blend at home.
Begin Making Your Vape Juice
You will need to decide on the PG/VG ratio you want to make and to start, and it is often best to do a 50/50 split. Measure out equal amounts of PG and VG and add these to the mixing container. You will then need to measure out the liquid nicotine, and there are many calculators online you can use to help you get the level correct. The final step is adding the flavours to your e-liquid, and the amount to add will depend on what flavour profiles you are using and your personal preference.
Once the liquid is mixed well, you can then take your funnel, put it in the vape juice container, and fill it up. Fill all your containers until the mixture is finished, and then seal each bottle tightly, ensuring there is space at the top for the vape juice to breathe. You can use the e-liquid straight away, but it is best to store it in a cool dark place for around one week before trying it in your vaping device. Giving it time to settle and mix thoroughly will help to enhance the flavour and ensure you create a high-quality e-liquid at home that you will be happy to vape. Before using for the first time, ensure that you shake the bottle thoroughly to mix well and you are ready to start vaping.
All The Flavours Under The Sun
Once you have experience making vape juice, you can scale up your operation and start making larger quantities. You can also experiment with flavours and create profiles you want to try that you cannot buy anywhere else. You can also refine your favourite flavours and improve on them, so they match your preferences, and you create a vape juice that is tasty and enjoyable.
