How to Make Vape Juice
July 05, 2018People new to vaping often look to save money by learning how to make their own vape juice. It is not very difficult. There are basically four ingredients to vape juice, and they are all readily available in many places online.
- Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
- Propylene Glycol (PG)
- Nicotine
- Flavoring
The trick to making your own e-liquid is finding the best ingredients, deciding which ratios work best for you and your mod and tank set up, then having the right equipment for measuring, mixing, and steeping. Naturally, you want to be safe and keep all the ingredients clean from contamination. Also, be very careful when handling liquid nicotine as it is potentially toxic in high concentrations, even to the touch. Always wear gloves when handling nicotine.
The other danger, aside from toxicity, is improper measurement. Make sure you have the right concentration of nicotine based on many online formulas. Usually, people want anything from 0mg nic all the way up to 24mg (very high level, not advised for dripping). Those concentrations are milligrams of nicotine per milliliter of liquid. Sometimes you'll see these represented as 0.3% instead of 3mg for example.
Not all vape juice requires steeping, but some steeping will certainly enhance the flavor. It all depends on the ingredients. Some people steep by storing the vape juice in wooden barrel containers. Others shake and expose it to air and light. Again, this is subjective. You can experiment and find your best way to make vape juice.
Most important as far as vape juice flavor goes is the quality of your flavoring. If you skimp on flavoring costs, you'll probably wind up unhappy. Buy the highest quality you can find, then experiment with different combinations and strengths. You can find many vape juice recipes online. Search and try.
