How To Make Own E-liquid

Some Definitions First:

PG - Propylene Glycol (Stronger Throat Hit)

VG - Vegetable Glycerin (Creates More Vapor)

Nicotine Liquid (Nicotine juice) - Comes in PG, VG, or a percentage of both PG and VG and in Different Strengths of Nicotine.

These are the main Ingredients in E-Liquid. Add Flavor, Maybe Distilled Water, Vodka, or PGA-(Pure Grain Alcohol) (Explained later) and you have E-liquid (E-Juice). You can use PG, VG or a mixture of both and you can make it without the nicotine if you want (Less Throat Hit).

The mg of nicotine is the amount of nicotine per ml. Don't Confuse % and mg, 100mg Nicotine Liquid equals 10% Nicotine. I recomend Purchasing no more than 100mg (10%) Nicotine Liquid anything Above That is Extremely Dangerous (Even 100mg Nicotine Liquid is Dangerous).

(mg = milligram)

(ml = milliliter)

Approximate Nicotine Levels to make your Recipe Target Nicotine Level. (I am not an expert on this). These are the Approximate Nicotine Levels that I have found most Pre-Mixed E-Liquids to be at. I started at 24mg and Gradually Lowered the Nicotine Level.

• 0mg to 10mg = Low

• 11mg to 16mg = Medium

• 17mg to 24mg = High

• 25mg to 36mg = Extra High

You Should Never Exceed 36mg (Dangerous, I Recommend 24mg or Less).

Amount of Flavor to Use:

With Most Flavors you will need Approximately 5% to 20% (EXCEPTION some Tobacco Flavors you only need 1% to 3%). When using more than one flavor this would be the total of all flavors combined.

I Recommend Starting with a Lower Percentage of flavor and adding more to suit your taste (Some flavors take a couple of days to develop - Steep time). I Recommend Making Small Amounts in till you get a flavor you like. You should save your recipes so you can make more when you come up with a good flavor.

Where to Buy Supplies

OK, Say you want to make 10ml of E-liquid with 18 mg of nicotine per ml, 50%PG 50%VG, with 10% Flavoring and you have Unflavored Nicotine Liquid that is 36mg 50%PG 50%VG. You will need to mix (Put in Bottle and Shake Well).

• 1ml of your flavor (Assuming your flavor is 50%PG 50%VG, Most are 100%PG)

• 2ml of PG and 2ml of VG (Or 4ml of 50%PG 50%VG mixed Liquid)

• 5ml of 36mg 50%PG 50%VG Unflavored Nicotine Liquid.

1ml is 10% of 10ml (The Flavor), 2ml of PG and 2ml VG (To dilute the nicotine down to 18mg and keep the 50%PG 50%VG), The total of the Flavor, PG, and VG is 5ml. This diluted the 5ml of nicotine to half it's strength (From 36mg to 18mg).

Examples of mix above in E-Liquid Calculators:

Example in Simple E-Liquid Recipe Mixing Calculator

Example in E-Liquid Recipe Mixing Calculator with Ten Flavors

Example in E-Liquid Recipe Mixing Calculator Ten Flavors plus PG/VG Percent Adjusting

I never add Water, Vodka, or PGA-(Pure Grain Alcohol). They can be used to dilute the E-Liquid (Make it Thinner), May be necessary if you are using 100% VG as it is very thick (Use approximately 1% to 5% Distilled Water, Vodka, or PGA), Alcohol will also give a Stronger Throat Hit.

This was a simple example for a more complex mix. The E-Liquid Calculators on this site are very useful for determining how much of each ingredient you need in your recipe. You can also Save your Recipes in the E-Liquid Calculators, By Book marking (Add to Favorites) the Calculator After you have Calculated your Recipe. Also you can get a Free Web Page with all Your Recipes on it. Public, Private and Deleted recipes. (Users Public Recipes) Much more information on mixing e-liquid can be found in the e-cigarette forums. (Lots of Information Here ECF diy-e-liquid).

A Little on the Measuring Tools for Mixing:

• One ml (milliliter) = one cc (cubic centimeter) - They are equivalent.

I use 10ml Syringes with no needle for the Nicotine Liquid and PG/VG. I have a Different 1ml Syringe with a Needle, I use for each Flavor. I Labeled each Syringe with a Number and Assigned the Corresponding Number to each Flavor. I store the Syringes with the Needle Cap on and put them all in a Tupperware Container. You can use Drops for Measuring your Flavors, But if you do you should Count How Many Drops from your Dropper Equals 1ml for Each Ingredient and Set that Number in the E-Liquid Calculator, As all Droppers are Different and the Viscosity of the Liquid makes a difference.

I use 5ml, 10ml, and 30ml Plastic Bottles with Dropper Tips to Mix In.
