Mix Your Own E-Liquid – Your First Mix
When you start mixing your own e-liquid, you’ll need flavour concentrates. Good vape shops will usually state the recommended percentage for each concentrate. Start with 10 ml – if you like the result, you can simply mix a larger batch next time.
However, the dosage recommendations listed in shops are only rough guidelines. Everyone’s taste is different, so start at the lower end with your concentrates and, if it’s not intense enough, just add a little more flavour. If you’re new to DIY mixing, try a single-flavour mix first. Remember: your mix needs to steep – as a rule of thumb, wait 10 days and let the e-liquid mature in a warm place. Taste it – too mild? Add more flavour! Something missing? Then you can use the same approach here as with tweaking your liquid – add another concentrate. Want a full, rich vanilla flavour? Prefer it sweet? You can always add sweetness with a sweetener made specifically for e-liquids. But go easy: only two drops per 10 ml. Let it steep, taste it, not sweet enough? Simply add a little more!
And the most important thing if you’re new to mixing: write down the amounts you use. Recreating a mix is harder than quickly noting the quantities of concentrates and sweetener for a 10 ml batch.
