What are DIY e-liquids?

DIY e-liquids, short for "do-it-yourself" e-liquids, involve crafting your own vape juice blends at home. This practice has gained popularity among vape enthusiasts in the UK due to the flexibility it offers in terms of flavour customisation and cost-effectiveness.

Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own e-liquid:

Gather Ingredients and Equipment:

Collect the necessary ingredients and equipment (available from Vampire Vape)

• including propylene glycol (PG)
• vegetable glycerin (VG)
• nicotine concentrate (if desired)
• flavour concentrates
• syringes or pipettes for accurate measurement
• empty bottles for mixing
• gloves, and safety goggles

Calculate Ratios:

Decide on the desired PG/VG ratio and nicotine strength for your e-liquid. Typical ratios range from 50/50 to 70/30 VG/PG, while nicotine strength can vary based on personal preference and nicotine tolerance. Use our Advanced Mixing Calculator online.

Measure Ingredients:

Using syringes or pipettes, carefully measure out the desired amounts of PG, VG, nicotine concentrate (if using), and flavour concentrates according to your chosen recipe or flavour profile.

Mix Ingredients:

Combine the measured ingredients in an empty mixing bottle. Start by adding the nicotine concentrate (if using) to the bottle first, followed by the PG, VG, and flavour concentrates. Ensure thorough mixing by shaking the bottle vigorously for several minutes.

Steep the E-Liquid (Optional):

Some e-liquids benefit from a steeping period to allow the flavours to fully develop and meld together. This involves storing the mixed e-liquid in a cool, dark place for a few days to several weeks, occasionally shaking the bottle during this time.

Test and Adjust:

Once steeping is complete (if applicable), test the e-liquid to assess its flavour, throat hit, and nicotine strength. Adjust the recipe as needed by adding more flavouring, and nicotine, or adjusting the PG/VG ratio to achieve your desired vape experience.

Label and Store:

Label the bottle with the flavour name, nicotine strength, PG/VG ratio, and the date it was made. Store the e-liquid in a cool, dark place away from children and pets.

Enjoy:

Your homemade e-liquid is now ready to be enjoyed in your favourite vape device. Experiment with different flavour combinations and recipes to find your perfect vape experience.

In summary

DIY e-liquids involve crafting your vape juice blends at home, providing flexibility in flavour customisation and cost-effectiveness. By following a step-by-step guide and carefully measuring ingredients, vapers in the UK can create personalised e-liquids tailored to their preferences.
