Not hard to do at all, althout you do jeed to measure accurately and there's a learning curve like everything else. E-juice has 4 main components: propylene glycol or PG, vegetable glycerin or VG, nicotine (if you use it) in some kind of carrier fluid, usually PG, VG or a mixture; and flavorings in a similar carrier, and also if you use it. PG does throat hit, provides miscability, and is an excellent carrier of flavorings. It is normally used in 20-60% ratios. VG provides vapor in white clouds, is easy on the throat, and has a slightly sweet flavor of its own. VG is hard to mix, hard to wick and does not carry flavor all that well. It comprises 40-80% of most e-juices. Nicotine is self explanatory, and flavors have to be worked out like spices in a recipe. The important decisions you have to make are PG/VG ratio to give you the balance of throat hit and cloud you like, plus nicotine level. After that, it's mostly trial and error to get the right combination of flavorings to suit your taste, plus re balancing the PG/VG ratio since most flavors come in a PG base. The rest of it is measuring and mixing. You'll bfind a lot more info over in the DIY section.

Furthmore if it's your first time making make just a small batches first to test it out you wouldnt want to make something fairly large to find out the taste is weird.

Go to the DIY E-Liquid sub-forum. You'll find a ton of information there and plenty of people who will be happy to help.

As far as measuring, I just bought a great kit from RTS Vapes. They have several to choose from for all your measuring needs.

Good choice to look into DIY. It's really very simple, you won't regret it.

Great advice from everyone. I will just add that since you are already vaping then you know what flavors appeal to you. Start with that and look at e-juice calculator and find a recipe or 2 that you like and only buy flavors for those recipes. It will keep the cost down and get you started. Also start out with 5 ml batches until you get your recipe perfected then make a big batch.

I just go to MasterMix Premium E-liquid E-juice because I'm too lazy to do it myself lolz

Hoosier's blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives.

Boletus's blog's concentrate on formulation of nicotine bases regarding proper calculations methods for figuring Nicotine concentration as well as safety.

Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid" delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.

I recommend viewing VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety and bookmark it for future reference. It explains safety in all aspects of DYI.

The "stickies" pinned at the top of the DIY E-Liquid Forum page will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

you find an E tree, pick the E's from it and let them ripen, once ripe you squeeze the juice from them

how do you guys measure the accurately?

Amy number of ways. A good one for small batches is to use 10mL syringes. Other people use a cylindrical graduate. I use Mohr's pipettes for small batches and graduates for big ones.

 

[Wizkidvaper]

Lots of very useful info here - think it's time for me to give it a go!!

 

[derju]

just don't give up too fast, it may take some time and trial & error to get the flavour right.

But once you're there is a lot cheaper and a lot of fun to try new stuff
