Alright, guys, let’s talk about my latest adventure – trying to make my own mixed berry vape juice. I’ve always been a fan of those fruity flavors, and I thought, “How hard could it be to just mix them myself?” Turns out, it’s a bit of a ride.
First off, I gathered all my stuff. I ordered some flavor concentrates online – you know, the usual suspects like strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and I threw in some blackcurrant just for kicks. And, of course, you need your base – I got some VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol), along with some nicotine, because, well, you know. Then we are gonna need some empty bottles, syringes, and labels – gotta keep things organized, right?
Then came the fun part – mixing. Now, I’m no chemist, but I did some reading, and I figured I’d start with a simple mix. I used a ratio of 70% VG to 30% PG, which I heard gives a good balance of flavor and clouds. For the nicotine, I went with a low strength, just to keep it smooth. As for the flavors, here’s where I got a bit experimental.
- Strawberry: I added this as my main flavor, about 6% of the total mix. It’s sweet and always a good base.
- Blueberry: This one I used a bit less, around 4%. It’s got that nice, rounded sweetness.
- Raspberry: Just a touch, about 3%. It adds a little tartness, which I like.
- Blackcurrant: Only 2%, ’cause this one’s strong and I didn’t want it to overpower the others.
I carefully measured everything out with my syringes, mixed it all up in the bottle, and gave it a good shake. Then came the hard part – waiting. They say you gotta let it steep, which is basically just letting it sit there so the flavors can blend. I tried to be patient, I really did. I hid the bottle in a dark cupboard and tried to forget about it.
After a week or so, I couldn’t wait any longer. I filled up my tank, took a deep breath, and vaped. And you know what? It wasn’t half bad! It was fruity, a bit sweet, a bit tart – just like I wanted. The strawberry was definitely there, but the blueberry and raspberry were doing their thing too. The blackcurrant was subtle, but it added a nice little kick at the end.
My takeaway?
Making your own vape juice is pretty fun. It’s like cooking, but for your vape. You can tweak things, try different combos, and really make it your own. Sure, it takes a bit of time and patience, but it’s worth it. Plus, it’s kinda cool to say you made your own juice, right?
So, if you’re thinking about giving it a go, I say do it! Just do your research, be careful with the nicotine, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Who knows, you might just come up with your new favorite flavor. And hey, if I can do it, anyone can.
That’s all for now, folks. Happy vaping!
