Okay, so, I’ve been trying to figure out this whole vape juice thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I saw some stuff online about making vape juice with water, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, how hard could it be, right? Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as just mixing stuff together. I wanted to try it because I heard it makes the vapor smoother, and who doesn’t want a smooth vape?
First things first, I had to gather some supplies. Now, the internet was a bit confusing, but I figured I needed some PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin), and some flavorings. It’s like baking, but instead of a cake, you’re making something you inhale. Weird, I know.
I started by trying to mix the water with the VG. I read somewhere that you could use household glycerin, so I thought, “Great, I have some of that!” But let me tell you, it was a mess. The water and VG didn’t really want to mix well. It was like trying to get oil and water to be friends – not happening. I tried stirring and stirring, but it just wasn’t working out. I ended up with this weird, separated mixture that looked nothing like the vape juice I see in stores. I even got a plastic bottle, thinking that would help, but nope. Still a disaster.
Then I did a bit more digging, and I realized that maybe water wasn’t such a great idea after all. Most sources were saying that PG and VG are pretty much non-negotiable. They’re like the bread and butter of vape juice. You can’t make a sandwich without them. I felt a bit silly for not realizing this sooner, but hey, live and learn, right?
- Tried mixing water and glycerin.
- Failed miserably.
- Realized PG and VG are essential.
So, I decided to try again, this time sticking to the basics. I got myself some proper PG and VG. I figured I’d start with a simple 50/50 mix, just to get the hang of it. I carefully measured out the PG and VG, added a few drops of flavoring, and mixed it all together. This time, things were looking much better. The mixture was smooth and consistent, just like it should be. I even tried vaping it, and it actually worked! It wasn’t perfect, but it was a huge improvement from my first attempt.
It’s definitely a learning process. There’s a lot of trial and error involved, but it’s kind of fun experimenting with different flavors and ratios. I’m still not sure if adding water is a good idea or not. Some people say it can help dilute the juice, but others say it can mess up your device. I’m going to stick to just PG and VG for now, but who knows, maybe I’ll try experimenting with water again in the future. For now, I’m just happy I finally made something that’s actually vapable!
It turns out this is super important: water can mess up your vape mod. These things are made for those special e-liquids with PG, VG, flavor stuff, and sometimes nicotine. Water just doesn’t vape right, and it can totally ruin your device. Not cool!
I also discovered you can’t really make vape juice without PG and VG. They’re like, the most important parts. Without them, you just don’t get that vape juice consistency.
My takeaway from this whole experience?
Do your research, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and don’t put water in your vape unless you are absolutely certain what you are doing. Oh, and have fun with it! It’s like being a mad scientist, but instead of creating monsters, you’re creating tasty clouds. Just be careful, and don’t blow anything up! And definitely don’t go putting random stuff in your vape. Stick to the stuff that’s actually meant for vaping. It’s just safer that way, and you’ll have a much better time.
Anyways, that’s my little adventure in vape juice making. Hope you found it somewhat entertaining or helpful. If you’ve tried making your own vape juice, let me know how it went! Maybe we can swap some tips or recipes. Alright, that’s all for now. Catch ya later!
