Okay, so I decided to try and make this “Secret Handshake” vape juice I saw online. Figured it’d be fun, you know? I like messing around with DIY stuff.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to gather all the ingredients and tools. This is what my list looked like:
- Flavor Concentrates: I grabbed the specific ones mentioned for Secret Handshake, like the fruit flavors and that creamy one.
- PG/VG Base: I already had a big bottle of premixed PG/VG, which made things easier. I went with a 70/30 mix, ’cause that’s what I usually prefer.
- Nicotine: Got my usual nicotine solution. Gotta be careful with this stuff!
- Bottles: Clean, empty bottles for mixing and storing.
- Syringes: For measuring everything accurately. Don’t wanna mess up the ratios!
- Gloves: ‘Cause nicotine can be nasty on your skin.
- Labels: So I don’t forget what I made!
The Mixing Process
I put on my gloves, laid everything out, and got to work. The recipe had percentages for each flavor, so I used the syringes to measure out each one and squirt it into the bottle. It’s kind of like following a cooking recipe, but, like, way more precise.
After the flavors, I added the nicotine, being super careful to get the right amount. Then, I topped it off with my PG/VG base, filling the bottle almost to the top. Left a little room for shaking.
Shaking and Steeping
I screwed the cap on tight and shook the bottle like crazy. Really mixed everything up. Then, I labeled it with the name and the date.
Now, this is the boring part: steeping. Basically, you gotta let the juice sit for a while so the flavors can blend together. I tucked the bottle away in a dark, cool cupboard. I have had steeping for a week or two. Some folks say it takes even longer for the best flavor, it could be patient.
The Final Product
Alright, after impatiently waiting, I finally tried the vape juice! The taste? It’s pretty darn close to what I was imagined! It’s got this fruity, creamy thing going on, just like the description said. It’s smooth and doesn’t have any weird chemical taste, which is a win.
Honestly, I am feeling pretty good about my DIY skills! It’s way cheaper than buying premade juice, and it’s kinda cool to vape something I made myself. Will I make it again? Definitely!
