How to Make E-Juice


Have you ever wondered what people actually vaporize when they use an electronic cigarette? The simple and cheap solution is referred to as Electronic Cigarette Juice or E-Juice for short. E-Cigs are designed to vaporize this liquid in order to deliver the nicotine in a cleaner and healthier way. E-juice is sold across many stores in different flavors and nicotine strengths in order to accommodate the preferences of many people. The common nicotine strength in stores today are 0 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg, and 36 mg. Although it is not recommended, you shouldn’t exceed 24 mg as this suits most people’s nicotine needs. If you don’t like the flavors or strengths available to you for purchase, you could always make your own e-juice! It’s relatively easy and cheap to make. E-juice consists of 4 main ingredients that you’ll need to start:

A: Propylene Glycol and/or Vegetable Glycerin (VG provides more vapor in juices while PG gives you a bigger throat hit similar to ones in cigarettes.)  

B: Nicotine (only if you want it in your juice)

C: Flavoring

D: Water (Distilled water preferred)

Along with these things, it is suggested that you also get these tools to help the process be more precise and easy:

E: Oral Syringe (Multiple; 2 or more preferred)

F: Dropper Bottles (To store and mix juices, 250 ml bottle for this example)
 

With all that being said let’s get started.

1: Depending on what types of e-juice you want to make and your preferences, you can start out by using PG or VG. You only have to use one but if you want to have both the throat hit and more vapor, you can always mix different ratios of these two ingredients. Different recipes have different ratios, so always do research before starting to make juice. My preference is to use VG since I want more vapor. If you want to follow this recipe, go ahead and add 140 ml of VG into your 250 ml dropper bottle via oral syringe.

2: Next add 30 ml of distilled water into the dropper bottle via oral syringe as well. The reason I add water to this mixture is because VG has a high viscosity and needs to be mixed with water in order to use it in an electronic cigarette. After the water is added, cap the mixture and shake vigorously until well mixed.

3: If you’re going to use nicotine add it now. For the sake of this recipe, I’m not going to add any since I don’t want it. Be extremely careful handling this as this can poison you if not used properly. Always do research on a recipe containing nicotine to see how much to add exactly.

4: Lastly add about 30 ml of your choice of flavoring to the mixture and shake vigorously again. Water based flavorings are suggested as they mix better with this mixture and as a result give you a better taste.   
After that you’re e-juice is ready to vape, although it is recommended you let the mixture sit in the dark for a week or two so the flavor can really come out. Trust me this always makes or breaks a juice. If you vape it early on, it won’t taste as good.  With that being said, that’s how you make e-juice. All of the ingredients used here are really easy to find and they are relatively cheap, with the exception of the separate nicotine mixture that you have to buy at a specialty shop. Anyways, if you enjoyed this, go out and try to make your own, and remember always do research
