So, I decided to try making my own cola ice vape juice. I’ve always loved the taste of cola, and with the hot weather, a cool, refreshing vape sounded perfect.
First, I gathered all my stuff. I needed some VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (propylene glycol), nicotine (the liquid kind, not the stuff from cigarettes), cola flavoring, and some menthol or koolada for that icy kick. I already had a bunch of empty bottles, syringes, and labels from my other DIY experiments.
I started by mixing the base. I went for a 70/30 VG/PG mix because I like thicker clouds. I measured out 70ml of VG and 30ml of PG into a clean bottle. I used a syringe to get the measurements just right. Then, I added my nicotine. I like a mild strength, so I put in about 3mg/ml. It’s important to be super careful with nicotine and wear gloves.
Next up was the flavoring. I found a cola flavor from a brand called “Dinner Lady” that a lot of people recommend online. I added about 15% of the total volume in cola flavoring. That’s 15ml for a 100ml bottle. It smelled exactly like a freshly opened can of cola – pretty exciting.
For the icy part, I had some koolada. It doesn’t have a minty taste, just a cooling effect. I added a tiny bit, around 2%, because this stuff is strong. You can always add more later, but you can’t take it out.
Once everything was in the bottle, I screwed the cap on tight and shook it like crazy. I mean, I really gave it a good shake for a few minutes to make sure everything was mixed well. Then, I labeled the bottle with the date and what’s inside, so I wouldn’t forget.
Now comes the hard part – steeping. Steeping is basically letting the juice sit for a while so the flavors can blend together. Some people say you don’t need to steep, but in my experience, it makes a big difference. I put the bottle in a dark, cool place and waited. I checked online, and it seems like the best cola vape juice need at least a few days to steep, but some people recommend a week or two for the best results.
- Day 1: I couldn’t resist and tried a little bit. It tasted okay, but the cola flavor was kind of weak, and the icy sensation was barely there.
- Day 3: The cola flavor was starting to come through more, and the cooling effect was a bit stronger. It was getting better, but not quite there yet.
- Day 7: Okay, now we’re talking! The cola flavor was rich and sweet, just like the real thing. The koolada gave it a nice, refreshing chill without being overpowering. It was like vaping an ice-cold glass of cola.
After a week of steeping, I was really happy with how it turned out. It’s one of the best DIY vape juices I’ve made so far. I’ve been vaping it all day, and it’s perfect for this hot weather. It was super satisfying, and I’ll definitely be making more of this cola ice vape juice in the future.
If you’re thinking about trying to make your own vape juice, I say go for it. There are tons of resources online, like forums and videos, that can help you get started. Just remember to be careful with nicotine, start with small batches, and be patient with the steeping process. Who knows, you might just come up with your new favorite all-day vape! And, honestly, there’s something really cool about vaping something you made yourself.
