It is said that DIY e-liquid is simple and really simple, I think it is enough to mix several materials, but it is difficult and indeed difficult, that is, the taste of your casually mixed e-liquid is difficult to satisfy . If you want to adjust an e-liquid that you are satisfied with, you must have patience.

The essence of DIY is patience and understanding, don't believe what other people say about exclusive secret recipes, other people's secret recipes may not be suitable for you of.

First of all, we must first understand the necessary substances for the preparation of e-liquid: propylene glycol, glycerin, and essence are all necessary materials for the preparation of an e-liquid. Note that when purchasing the above materials, you must ensure that they are food grade.

1. Propylene glycol is the substance marked as PG on the e-liquid bottle. Propylene glycol is a general solvent for e-liquid. It plays a role in dissolving the essence. Without it or the ratio, your essence will not be able to To dissolve the fault phenomenon.

The proportion of propylene glycol added is based on the ability to completely dissolve the essence, and then it is formulated according to the proportion of essence and glycerin:

2. Glycerin, that is, the substance marked as VG by e-liquid. Glycerin is the substance that e-liquid plays as a smog. Usually, the more the proportion of glycerin, the greater the smog.

The proportion of glycerin added needs to be determined according to the smoking equipment. The proportion of glycerin in high-power vapes is generally about 60%-80%, and the proportion of glycerin in some e-liquids used for fancy cigarettes can reach more than 90%. At present, the proportion of glycerin in the popular small vape e-liquidd is about 50%. If the proportion of glycerin in e-liquid used in small vapes is too high, the phenomenon of smearing will easily occur, and if there is too much glycerin, the consumption of e-liquid will be relatively high.

An excellent e-liquid has to go through a lot of hard work.

The proportion of essence of e-liquid used in high-power vapes is generally relatively low, and the proportion of essence of some cheap e-liquids may only be about 1%. The e-liquid essence used in low-power vapes needs a lot more, generally controlled by about 10%-30%. If you DIY it yourself, you may increase or decrease it according to your own preferences.

Followed by non-essential common materials: nicotine, cooling agents, sweeteners, etc.:

1. Nicotine is a highly toxic substance. After purchasing nicotine, you must use and store it carefully. If you can’t buy it, it is recommended not to buy it. The nicotine content of high-power vapes is about 0.1%-0.6%. It may be marked with higher nicotine e-liquid, but in fact most of them are false, and 1% of domestic users is basically enough. For small vapes, e-liquid is recommended to use nicotine salt, and the proportion should be controlled at about 2%-5%. Too high nicotine can easily cause dizziness and vomiting.

2. The cooling agent may not be clear to many people. It is a substance that makes e-liquid feel cold. Many people think that it is mint, and mint is a kind of flavor. Although it also has a cold feeling, its cold feeling is very weak. The cooling agent has a great impact on the taste of e-liquid. It is recommended not to save money when buying cooling agents, and try to buy high-quality cooling agents. Their effects are very different.

3. Sweeteners can enhance the sweetness of e-liquid. When you DIY e-liquid by yourself, you can add them according to your own needs. It is recommended to add them little by little. Too much sweetener can easily produce a greasy feeling.
