So, I wanted to make my own vape juice. I looked it up online, and it seemed pretty straightforward. Here’s how I did it.
First, I gathered all the stuff I needed. Basically, there are four main things: propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavor concentrates, and nicotine, but I decided to skip the nicotine for now. I got these online ’cause, well, where else would I find them?

Next, I started mixing. I poured some PG and VG into a clean bottle. I read somewhere that the ratio of PG to VG affects the throat hit and vapor, so I went with a 50/50 mix to start. Seemed like a safe bet.
- Mixing the Base: I used a syringe to measure out the PG and VG. It was kinda like a science experiment.
- Adding Flavors: This was the fun part. I picked a couple of flavors that sounded good—strawberry and vanilla. I added a few drops of each, maybe around 5% of the total volume, but I just eyeballed it, honestly.
- Shaking It Up: After putting the cap on, I shook the bottle like crazy. I wanted to make sure everything was mixed well.
After mixing, I let the juice steep for a few days. I heard that this helps the flavors blend better. It was tough to wait, but I managed.
Finally, the moment of truth. I filled up my vape tank with my homemade juice and took a puff. It wasn’t bad! The flavor was a bit weak, so next time I’ll probably add more flavor concentrate. But hey, it was my own creation, and that’s pretty cool.
I also found out there’s a whole community of DIY vapers out there. They share recipes and tips, which is awesome. I might check that out to get some new ideas.
Making my own vape juice was a fun little project. It’s cool to customize the flavors and know exactly what’s going into my vape. Plus, I think I saved some money, which is always a bonus.
This was my first time making it, and this article just shares my experience and some steps I took. It’s not perfect, and I’m still learning, but it was a good start.
Later on, I’ll try making some more complex, multi-layered flavors once I get the hang of it. It is not a big deal for me since I have lots of fun.
Anyway, if you’re thinking about making your own vape juice, just go for it. It’s a fun experience to make it by yourself. Just make sure you get good-quality ingredients and follow some basic safety guidelines, and you should be good to go.
