One of the good things about vaping is that vape juice is highly customisable.
A trip to a speciality vape shop can give you many options.
Before you can begin mixing your own vape juice, you should understand how vape juice is made.
Here are some ideas on how to customise your vape juice to meet your needs.
Vape juice for beginners
Vape juice is made up of four main parts — Propylene Glycol (PG), vegetable Glycerine (VG), nicotine, and flavour.
Each part can be customised to work better in your device, give you a smoother or harsher draw, give better flavour, more or less nicotine, and the size of vapour clouds it creates.
PG is typically found in food and medicine. It is ideal for vape devices that have smaller wicking ports.
High PG levels can give you a stronger feeling in the throat.
VG is created with different vegetables and is used in a large amount of food products.
It is syrupy and produces large vapour clouds when heated and creates a smoother throat sensation
Most vape juices have a higher VG level than PG levels.
Determining your nicotine needs
When it comes to customising your vape juice, there are so many possibilities out there.
You can change the flavour from sweet to strong, change the levels of freebase nicotine from 3 mg to 18 mg, and change how each draw affects your throat.
To determine nicotine levels, you should first consider what levels are best for you based on how many cigarettes a day you would smoke.
The way that nicotine is released into your body while vaping depends on the type and level in your vape juice.
A freebase nicotine is the typical type you will find on the market, it releases nicotine into your bloodstream slowly, it can also have a harsher draw.
For a smoother draw and a faster delivery of nicotine into your bloodstream, you can use nicotine salt.
If you are a one pack a day cigarette smoker, starting with a 12 mg freebase nicotine level is recommended — the more you smoked, the higher the level.
Combination ideas
There are thousands of food grade vape juice flavours on the market, meaning that there are unlimited unique flavour combinations to be had.
You could start with something simple, like combining a strawberry and mint flavour.
The flavour you choose to make is only limited by your imagination.
Here are a few recipes to get you started.
To make a simple custard flavour, put together 2% caramel and cheesecake, 0.5% vanilla, and 5% vanilla custard.
For a less sweet and creamy flavour, try 6% lemon, 3% kiwi, and 2% ultra menthol for a lemon kiwi flavour.
Mixing your own vape juices can give you the option to make the perfect flavour and nicotine combination.
Mixing the juices can be just like making your favourite dish at home, using vape flavours as ingredients.
Whether you want to play around to find your perfect mix, or you just need to get the ingredients for your favourite, a trip to a speciality vape shop will get you everything you need.
