Okay, guys, so I decided to try and make my own “Watermelon Bubblegum” vape juice. Here’s how it all went down, from start to finish:
First, I gathered all my stuff. I already had some Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG) from previous DIY experiments. Also needed, of course, was nicotine, but that’s optional if you want a nicotine-free vape.
Mixing Time
For flavoring, I picked up some concentrated watermelon and bubblegum flavorings. Gotta be careful with these – a little goes a long way!
Then, I grabbed a few empty bottles, some syringes for accurate measuring, and my trusty scale. Cleanliness is key, folks, so I made sure everything was sterilized before I started.
Next, I did some quick calculations. I was aiming for a 70/30 VG/PG ratio, which usually gives a good balance of clouds and flavor. For nicotine, I went with a 3mg strength. For the flavoring, I figured I’d start with around 5% watermelon and 3% bubblegum – you can always add more later, but you can’t take it out!
- I start mixed VG and PG together.
- I added the nicotine, shaking it well to make sure it was evenly distributed.
- I put watermelon and bubblegum flavorings.
I gave the bottle a really good, long shake. Then, I let it sit in a cool, dark place for about a week. This is called “steeping,” and it helps the flavors blend and develop.
Test and Tweak!
After a week of patiently waiting, it was time to test it out! I filled up my tank and took a puff… Not bad! The watermelon was definitely there, and the bubblegum gave it a nice sweetness. It was a bit light on the flavor, though, so I added another 1% of each flavoring.
Another few days of steeping, and another test… Much better! It was still a little weak, so I added just a tiny bit more watermelon. Perfect! It was finally that sweet, summery vape I was going for.
So, that’s it! It took a bit of trial and error, but I ended up with a pretty tasty watermelon bubblegum vape juice. It’s not exactly like the store-bought stuff, but it’s my own creation, and that’s pretty cool. If you’re thinking of trying it yourself, just remember to be patient, take good notes, and don’t be afraid to experiment!
