***IMPORTANT*** Anything I write should be considered an opinion, NOT a suggestion. I am not a chemist, nor have I had any official schooling on this subject. These opinions are derived simply from scouting the interent for relevant info and my personal experiments. I have not experienced any negative effects from the use of this recipe, though if you attempt this and something happens, DO NOT SUE ME, I am NOT liable for your choices.
I have not found a single site describing this technique. Every DIY (do it yourself) site only explains how to "cut" the e-liquid you buy premixed with either PG or VG or both. This does not help with the cost as much as most people think and is not easier.
I was a smoker and a dipper for quite a while. I've tried a ton of different "tobacco flavored" e-liquids that just didn't do it for me. I've found there are a lot of people out there that feel the same. After investigating how to create my own, I bought all the supplies I needed and am very happy with the results so far. Also, it doesn't make sense for someone who is trying to save money on e-juice to buy the nicotine blend when you could make your own for sooooooo much cheaper. Of course, the drawback from my backwoods home juice is that I can't tell what the mg content of nicotine is. The below recipe tastes like a 15-20mg blend (I expect it to get stronger the longer the pouches soak).
For those interested, here is a breakdown of what I bought:
>6oz Pure Glycerin USP (CVS brand) $5
(you could use Propylene Glycol as well. see bottom of this post for differences)
>1 can (includes 14 pouches) Copenhagen Pouches Original Flavor $6
>2oz Food Grade Flavor Extracts-set of 4 (faerie'sfinest.com) $14 + ship
>1oz Amber Glass Dropper Bottles-set of 6 (abundanthealth4u.com) $4 + ship
(I did buy a bunch of other things, but these are the essentials for what I am doing here)
Total came to roughly $40 after shipping
With only these supplies, I will be able to make a base amount of just over 6oz (180ml) of e-juice. If purchased online, this would cost anywhere between $60-$100+. You do the math. In addition, for just under $12, I will be able to make another 6oz every time I run out of the 6oz I just made (until the initial 8oz of flavors runs out or forever if I don't want to add any flavor) and I won't have to wait for it to come in the mail.
Here's what I did:
I put 2 pouches in a 1oz dropper bottle and filled it with the VG. Let it sit, shake occasionally. In a 5ml plastic dropper bottle (recycled from previous e-juice) I mixed the Copenhagen/VG blend (75%) with a flavor (25%).
END RESULT: Great flavor of tobacco, Great throat hit, I can't really taste the added flavor (will soon be creating a PG/VG blend to see if I can balance the properties of both).
Propylene Glycol (PG) typically will give you a better base if you are looking to enhance the flavor you use in your e-liquid.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is expected to enhance the amount of vapor and "throat hit" you experience.
I hope this was informative for anyone who read it.
