With the cost of living increasing significantly over the last six months, you may be keen to do everything you can to save money, including saving money on your vaping supplies. One way you can do this is by making your vape juice at home, which you can do in bulk and significantly save on how much you spend on your e-liquids. It is simple to do, and you can get some excellent vape juice recipes by clicking here, and you do not need too much equipment to make your vape juice yourself at home. Below are the things you will need to make your vape juice so you can save yourself some money while still enjoying delicious vaping flavours.
Shopping For What You Need
You will need to go shopping for some supplies to enable you to make your vape juice at home, and you can get everything you need by shopping online. The things you will need are as follows:
- Propylene Glycol
- Vegetable Glycerine
- Liquid Nicotine
- Flavourings
- A Mixing Jig
- Measuring Pipettes
- Empty E-Liquid Bottles
- Rubber Gloves
- A Funnel
Plenty of online retailers are selling everything you need, and all the ingredients are found within the food industry and are readily available. Once you have everything required for the recipe, you can start making your vape juice at home.
Mixing The Ingredients
You will want to start by measuring out the propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine into your mixing bowl, following the measurements in your recipe. Next, you will want to put your rubber gloves on, measure out a suitable amount of liquid nicotine, and add this to the mixture. The gloves will protect your skin from getting covered in the liquid nicotine, which your body can absorb and can cause you to overdose on it. The next step is to add the flavourings to your mixture, following the recipe guidelines or putting together your own concoction. You will now need to mix your homemade e-cig juice thoroughly and ensure you stir it, so the ingredients are mixed. Once this stage is complete, you must move on to bottling your vape juice before storing it.
Bottling Your Vape Juice
You must ensure that the e-liquid bottles you use are clean, or they could taint your homemade vape juice. Take your funnel and pour the vape juice into each bottle before sealing it, ensuring no air can get inside. You can use the vape juice immediately, but for the best flavour, you will want to let the mixture rest for around seven days before using it. You will need to store the homemade vape juice somewhere that it is cool and dark, which will prevent the mixture from separating. There are three things which affect e-liquids, which are UV light, oxygen, and heat, so you want to avoid keeping them in direct sunlight and somewhere where it is too warm. After around seven days, your homemade vape juice should be ready for you to start using, and it will save you a lot of money from buying your e-liquid at a shop.
