Prepare Your E-Liquid:
Required Ingredients:
- A ready-to-use base
- One or several concentrated flavors
- Optional: an additive (to adjust sweetness, acidity, or add candy effect, etc.)
Required Equipment:
- 10 to 30 ml syringe for the base
- 1 ml syringe for flavors
- Plastic or glass bottles of 5 ml, 10 ml, or 30 ml
- Latex gloves
- Eye protection
Preparation Steps:
- Wash your hands and set up a clean workspace out of reach of children.
- Using a syringe or pipette, fill an empty bottle with the ready-to-use base (e.g., for 10 ml of e-liquid: pour 8 ml of base, the remaining 2 ml will be for the flavor and additive).
- To handle a base containing nicotine, use gloves and eye protection.
- Shake flavor bottles before use.
- Add the indicated flavor dose (refer to dosage recommendations).
- If necessary, add an additive.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds and let it rest to allow flavors to develop.
- Wash your hands again and clean your equipment and workspace.
- Note your recipe for reproduction or sharing.
Maturation:
Maturation allows flavors to fully diffuse into the e-liquid base. This process requires:
- A minimum of 15 days, even several weeks for tobacco-like flavors.
- A minimum of 48 hours for other types of flavors.
To optimize the result, shake the bottle once preparation is finished, and then daily. Note that the higher the vegetable glycerin content, the longer the maturation time.
Tasting:
Once maturation is complete, your e-liquid is ready to taste. If the flavor is too weak, add a few more drops of flavor and let it rest for at least 48 hours. If the flavor is too strong, you can dilute it with a bit more base.
- Over-dosed: add more base to dilute
- Under-dosed: add a few drops of flavor
Tips:
- Start by using a single flavor before mixing.
- Optional additives are potent; use them sparingly (between 1% and 3% of the mix).
- Label your preparations with essential information (flavors, dosage, nicotine level, manufacture date).
- For new recipes, use 10 ml bottles but with a reduced volume (5 ml) to facilitate adjustments.
- Respect maturation time. To speed it up, you can add a drop of white vinegar or leave the bottle open for a few hours daily, stirring occasionally to aid oxidation.
