Vampire Vape is one of the most iconic UK e-liquid brands, famous for flavours like Heisenberg, Pinkman, Black Ice, and classic fruity blends. While most vapers buy them pre-mixed, a growing DIY community re-create their own unique blends of Vampire Vape flavours using concentrates, base liquids, and custom recipes.
Across vaping forums and DIY recipe sites, mixers frequently share their experiments, recommended percentages, steeping times, and troubleshooting tips - making it easier than ever to create your own Vampire Vape-inspired blends.
Understanding Vampire Vape Concentrates
Vampire Vape concentrates are typically one-shot flavour blends, meaning they’re already layered with multiple flavour notes. Most DIY guides recommend mixing them at 15–20% flavour concentrate, then topping up with PG/VG base and nicotine if desired.
Because these are complex flavour blends, mixers generally recommend steeping for at least 7 days to allow the flavour to mellow and fully develop.
Example Base Recipe (30ml - 70VG / 30PG - 3mg Nicotine)
A commonly shared DIY ratio for Vampire Vape-style liquids looks like this:
-
Flavour Concentrate: 15% (4.5ml)
-
Nicotine Shot: ~16.7% (5ml at 18mg VG nic)
-
VG: ~58% (17.5ml)
-
PG: ~10% (3ml)
This provides a smooth, cloud-friendly vape while keeping flavour intensity strong
