Alright, let me tell you about this little project of mine – making strawberry cheesecake vape juice. You know, sometimes you just get that craving for something sweet and specific. For me, it was that rich, creamy New York-style cheesecake with juicy strawberries on top. But I wanted it in vape form. So, I thought, why not try to make it myself?
First off, I had to figure out what kind of cheesecake I was dealing with. Turns out, there are two main types: baked and unbaked. The baked ones, like the New York style, are denser and richer because they’re cooked in the oven. The unbaked ones are lighter and set in the fridge. I decided to go with the baked cheesecake vibe for my vape juice because I wanted that deep, rich flavor.
Next, I gathered my ingredients. I needed a good cheesecake flavor concentrate, something that really captured that creamy, tangy taste. Then, of course, I needed a strawberry flavor – not just any strawberry, but a sweet, syrupy one that would remind me of a real strawberry topping. I also got some nicotine (gotta have that throat hit), propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG). These last two are the base of any vape juice, and the ratio between them affects the throat hit and vapor production. I went for a 70/30 VG/PG mix because I wanted more vapor and a smoother hit.
Now, the mixing part. I started with the cheesecake base. I added the cheesecake concentrate to the VG/PG mix. This took some trial and error. I’d mix a small batch, try it out, and adjust. It was all about getting that perfect cheesecake flavor without it being overpowering.
- Added cheesecake concentrate to VG/PG mix
- Tested and adjusted the concentration
Once I was happy with the cheesecake part, I moved on to the strawberry. I wanted it to be like a sweet strawberry syrup drizzled over the cheesecake. So, I added the strawberry concentrate to the mix, again starting small and testing as I went. This part was a bit easier, as strawberry is a pretty forgiving flavor.
- Mixed in strawberry concentrate
- Adjusted for sweetness and flavor intensity
After getting the flavors right, I added the nicotine. I’m not a heavy vaper, so I went with a low nicotine strength. Mixed it all up, making sure everything was well combined.
- Added nicotine at a low concentration
- Ensured thorough mixing
The last step was steeping. This is where you let the juice sit for a while to let the flavors fully blend and mature. I know some people vape it right away, but I’ve found that steeping makes a big difference. I let my concoction sit for about a week, giving it a good shake every day.
- Steeped the juice for one week
- Shook daily to blend flavors
Finally, the moment of truth. I filled up my tank and took a puff. And you know what? It was pretty damn close to what I imagined. The creamy, rich cheesecake flavor was there, and the sweet strawberry added that perfect fruity note on top. It wasn’t exactly like eating a slice of strawberry cheesecake, but as a vape juice, it was spot on.
What I Learned
This whole experiment taught me a few things. First, making vape juice is an art. It’s not just about throwing flavors together; it’s about balancing them, understanding how they interact, and knowing how to adjust to get the taste you want. Second, patience is key. Steeping might seem like a drag, but it really does make a difference in the flavor. And lastly, it’s just fun to experiment and create something yourself. If you’re into vaping and have a specific flavor in mind, I’d say give it a shot. Who knows, you might just come up with your next favorite all-day vape.
