DIY Tips
1. Do not attempt to use high-purity nicotine solutions.
2. Take protective measures to prevent the solution from entering your mouth, eyes, or coming into contact with your skin.
3. Keep DIY materials away from children and pets, and away from fire.
4. Do not attempt to mix e-liquid with unknown liquids, such as alcohol, spirits, or beverages, as their safety cannot be guaranteed.
5. Use food-grade VG, PG, and professional tobacco flavorings.
What materials are needed?
VG (Vegetable Glycerin), PG (Propylene Glycol), flavoring, and nicotine solution
What is the VG/PG ratio?
VG mainly provides vapor, while PG dissolves flavoring; the ratio is up to you to decide.
Common ratios include: 80PG/20VG, 70PG/30VG, 60PG/40VG, 50VG/50PG, 40VG/60PG, 30VG/70PG.
About flavoring
Flavoring is the soul of e-liquid; it determines the flavor of the e-liquid. The combination and proportion of different flavorings decide the flavor profile of an e-liquid. Generally, the flavoring usage ratio is 10%. Since everyone has different tastes, DIY e-liquid should be adjusted according to personal preference.
About nicotine solution concentration
Generally, using a base liquid of 36mg/ml is sufficient to complete the DIY e-liquid process
(Adding nicotine is not recommended for beginners)
What is e-liquid concentration?
E-liquid concentration refers to the nicotine content per milliliter of e-liquid; generally, 6mg/l and 12mg/l fully meet the needs of ordinary users.
Some e-liquid additives
? Throat hit agent: It makes the e-liquid smoother and protects the throat.
? Sweetener: Dissolved in PG or alcohol, added to fruit-flavored e-liquids to enhance aroma and sweetness, commonly found in fruit beverages.
? Tobacco aroma oil: Natural tobacco extracts added to tobacco e-liquids to enhance the simulation of tobacco flavor.
? Cooling agent: For those who like a cooling sensation but don’t want the mint flavor to overpower, this can be added to cooling-flavored e-liquids.
? Food coloring: Seeing colorful e-liquids does not reflect their natural state; food coloring can be added, which is also a personal choice.
How much should beginners mix?
When starting DIY e-liquid, it is not recommended to mix too much at once. Generally, it is advised to mix 10ml.
About steeping e-liquid
Steeping e-liquid enhances its flavor during use. Exposing e-liquid to air for a longer period (2-8 weeks) allows for slow oxidation.
