Some experiences with DIY e-liquid

Do many e-cigarette users find it difficult to find their favorite e-liquid? Or maybe you are curious about what will happen after mixing some flavors. In that case, making your own e-liquid is perfect for you.

Maybe you are still worried about the safety of e-liquid. After all, it is something that is inhaled into the lungs for a long time. Safety really needs to be the first priority. However, the e-liquid on the market often contains a variety of chemicals and additives. May have negative effects on the human body. Therefore, many e-cigarette enthusiasts have begun to try to make their own e-liquid in pursuit of a healthier and more personalized smoking experience.

1. Basic composition of e-liquid

E-liquid is a special liquid. It is relatively simple to just physically mix PG, VG, and flavors. If necessary, nicotine and cooling agents can be added. Therefore, DIY e-liquid is very simple. The difficult thing is to prepare an e-liquid that satisfies you.

2. Steps and techniques for DIY e-liquid

Choose raw materials:

Since you are using it yourself, you must use the best. Anyway, if you DIY and use imported PG and VG from big brands, the cost is actually not high. PG and VG from big brands are not only safer, but they also improve the taste. The impact will also be relatively small.

The most important thing is that the fragrance suits you. You should have no problem choosing a regular manufacturer anyway. Personal preferences cannot be satisfied by big brands. Just find a few fragrance factories and let them send you samples. Usually you only need to pay Just postage.

The choice of nicotine is very simple. For high-power e-cigarettes, just use nicotine, and for low-power e-cigarettes, just choose nicotine salt.

You should choose a suitable cooling agent, and don’t just choose one with a high cooling effect. It is important whether the cooling agent will interfere with the original taste. Some cooling agents have a very short-lived cooling effect, and there is no cooling sensation as soon as you finish smoking. There are also some cooling agents that have a very delayed cooling effect. It is not very cold when you smoke it, but after you smoke it a few times, the cold feeling left in your body is unbearable. Be sure to try several different cooling agents, and then choose the cooling agent that suits you best.

How to get started:

Prepare tools first. Gloves, straws, and e-liquid bottles are necessary. If there is nicotine, you can also wear goggles.

You may think that there are many mixed flavors on the market that are very good, and then you prepare the mixed e-liquid yourself from the beginning. Never do this. Mixed e-liquids on the market are usually made after dozens or even hundreds of times. It is a highly difficult blend and is not suitable for novices. Beginners should start by blending a single flavor first, and then adjust the ratio of e-liquid raw materials until they are satisfied with it.

In addition to taste preferences, you also need to pay attention to the nicotine ratio. Perhaps your common nicotine concentration label is in MG, which is the amount of nicotine added in milligrams per milliliter. However, this is not possible with ordinary test tubes. With such precision, it is more appropriate to convert it into a ratio. Start with a low concentration of nicotine and test it for more than ten puffs. As long as there is no dizziness or nausea, it will be fine.

3. Personal suggestions

Don’t blindly pursue imitation of an e-liquid. Unless there is a relevant formula online, it is very difficult to imitate e-liquid. Even if you know the formula, you may not be able to prepare it because the flavor gap between different brands is huge. As an individual, a It is not practical to purchase multiple flavors of flavors.

If you feel dissatisfied with the prepared e-liquid, don’t rush to use it yet. Leave it for a while and then try it again. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Be sure to take notes when DIYing e-liquid, otherwise when you mix an e-liquid, you won’t know the relevant proportions.
