How to Make Vape Juice
Posted on
These days, more people are getting into vaping, with many
switching from smoking traditional cigarettes to vaping. Also, there are many
people who simply pick up vaping because it is an enjoyable pastime. However,
buying vape juice at the store can be quite expensive. Thankfully, it isn't all
that hard for you to make your own vape juice. This is especially true if you
are using one of our DIY e-juice kits. Read on to learn more about making your
own vape juice.
Easiest Way to Make Vape Juice
While making vape juice can be an involved process, there is a way to make vape juice more efficiently. This way may be a little messier and might result in a smaller quantity of vape juice when you’re finished. Also, the vape juice might not have as good of a taste or the exact nicotine level you intended. However, if you just want to give making your own vape juice a quick try, this is how you do it.
First, you can go to the Vape Mall website and get a bottle of pre-mixed VG and PG e-liquid. If you're just starting out, you may want to get as little as 100 milliliters of each. You should also get a couple of 50 milliliters plastic bottles and a couple of plastic pipettes from The Vape Mall.
We have many different vape juice flavor concentrates that
you can try out. When you get these items from The Vape Mall, you want to start
by using the pipettes to drip around 15 drops of flavor into one of the empty
bottles. Next, fill the bottle halfway up with PG and then fill the second half
of the bottle up with VG. Then, shake the liquid vigorously and let it sit for
a few hours. Once you’ve done this, you are ready to try your own vape juice.
If you take a little bit more time, however, you may produce something a little
tastier. But if you simply want to get started vaping as quickly as possible,
this is the way to go.
How to Mix Vape Juice
Possibly the most important choice that you have to make when making your own vape juice is how you mix it. There are two main ways that you can mix vape juice: by weight or by volume.
Most vape juice DIY kits include a set of syringes so that you can mix it by volume. This is usually considered as an easier way to mix vape juice.
Mixing vape juice by weight requires a special scale. No
matter which way you want to mix your vape juice, you're going to need to use a
vape juice calculator to make sure you get the percentages right.
Ingredients You Need for Vape Juice
There are several ingredients that you will need no matter what kind of vape juice you're making. First of all, you need to get the base liquid. This base liquid consists of a mixture of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol (these ingredients were already mentioned earlier in the article as PG and VG e-liquid.)
You will also need storage bottles for the juice. You can actually get pre-mixed base liquid for added convenience. Of course, you will need some sort of flavor, which you can find at The Vape Mall’s online store.
Most people want to include nicotine in their vape juice, although this is optional. You can find many different strengths of nicotine liquid that fit your needs.
You will also need storage bottles and smaller bottles for
mixing. Additionally, you should get labels and gloves to make sure everything
is as neat as possible.
Ingredients That You Shouldn't Put in Vape Juice
There are several ingredients that you should definitely not
put in your vape juice. First, you absolutely do not want to use any sort of
flavoring that's not made specifically for vape juice. You also do not want to
use essential oils or any other type of oil because inhaling these chemicals is
potentially harmful. Finally, you should avoid using high-strength nicotine if
you’re new to vaping. When it comes down to it, you want to only use products
that are made specifically for DIY vape juice.
Convenient DIY Kits for Vape Juice
Many suppliers, such as The Vape Mall, offer DIY vape juice
kits. These vape juice kits make the entire process easier. They will include
everything you need to make your own vape juice. This way, you will not need to
worry about buying the vape juice separately. You might even be able to save
some money by buying a kit rather than buying individual components separately.
Using E-Juice Calculators
If you really want to mix your vape juice accurately, you
need an e-juice calculator. Thankfully, there are several free calculators
available on the internet. There are also some free vape juice calculating apps
which you can download onto your smartphone or tablet. Many of these free options
also have premium options that include additional features. However, you will
likely not need the premium options unless you are planning to make a large
batch for your own vape business or if you wish to use non-standard
ingredients. This is not recommended for beginners.
Best Post-Mixing Procedures
There are several different procedures that you should follow after you've mixed vape juice. First of all, you want to make sure to label your vape juice mixes. This will help you to avoid grabbing a bottle of vape juice that has the wrong level of nicotine or the wrong flavor.
Also, if you have mixed different flavors, you are going to need to let it steep, which is, in essence, a fancy word for “blend.” Simple fruit mixes might not need to steep for any length of time, but very complicated dessert mixes may need to steep for up to a month. Many recipes will have a recommended steeping time to make things easier.
Of course, you will also need to test your e-juice after you
make it to ensure that it is the right strength and flavor profile. And be sure
to store your vape juice in a cool, dark place that is out of the reach of pets
and children.
