Okay, let’s talk about making raspberry vape juice, people. I have always wanted to have a try on making my own vape juice, and yesterday I finally did it. I mean, why not? DIY is always fun, and you can adjust everything to your own taste. I’ve always been a huge fan of raspberry flavor, so I decided to start with that. Plus, I got a raspberry tree in my backyard!
Get everything ready
First things first, I needed to gather all the stuff I needed. I already had some basic vape juice without any flavor from my last purchase, which I used as the base. The most important thing was the fresh raspberries. I picked a bunch from my garden. They were so ripe and juicy, and I couldn’t resist eating a few while picking. I also grabbed some sweeteners and a bottle to mix everything in.
Start the process
I washed the raspberries thoroughly and then mashed them up using a fork. Man, the smell was amazing! After that, I put the mashed raspberries in a bottle and mixed them with the flavorless vape juice. I shook the bottle like crazy to make sure everything was mixed well. It looked a bit messy, but I knew it was going to be worth it.
- Mixing: I used about one part mashed raspberries to three parts base vape juice. I figured it was a good starting point, and I could always adjust it later.
- Steeping: This part is where you need patience. I stored the bottle in a dark, cool place. The longer you let it steep, the better the flavor gets. I decided to let it sit for about a week. I know, waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s important.
- Testing: After a week, I couldn’t wait any longer. I filled up my vape tank and took the first puff. It’s a little bit sour at first, and then sweet. Wow, it was incredible! The raspberry flavor was so fresh and vibrant. It felt like vaping the essence of my garden.
Adjust
I did a few taste tests and decided to add a little bit more sweetener. I used a few drops of a sweetener I had, but you can use whatever you like. After adding the sweetener, I shook the bottle again and let it sit for another day. The next day, I tried it again, and it was perfect! Just the right balance of sweet and tangy.
Nicotine Strength
Since I used a nicotine-free base, I wanted to add a bit of nicotine. Usually, I prefer a mild hit, so I added just enough to give me 3mg strength. If you like a stronger hit, you can add more, up to 6mg or 12mg. But be careful, too much nicotine can be harsh. I learned this last time when I tried a 12mg nicotine vape juice. It was too strong for me, and I coughed a lot. So, 3mg is my sweet spot.
Final thoughts
Making my own raspberry vape juice was such a cool experience. It was a bit of work, but the result was totally worth it. Plus, knowing that I made it myself from scratch makes it even more satisfying. If you’re into vaping and love DIY projects, you should definitely give this a try. You can experiment with different flavors and strengths until you find your perfect mix. It’s like being a mad scientist, but with delicious results! This whole process really made me feel like I achieved something. I might try making other flavors next. Maybe strawberry or blueberry? The possibilities are endless!
