Mixing PG/VG Vape Flavours

Step-by-Step Recipe for Mixing PG/VG Vape Flavours

1. Gather Your Ingredients and Equipment

2. Prepare Your Workspace

  • Clean and sanitise your work area.
  • Wash your hands and wear gloves.
  • Ensure all equipment is clean and dry.

3. Calculate Your Recipe

  • Decide on your total batch size (e.g., 100ml).
  • Choose your PG/VG ratio (e.g., 70% VG / 30% PG for sub-ohm vaping, 50/50 for mouth-to-lung).
  • Select your flavour percentage (typically 10% is a good starting point).
  • If using nicotine, calculate the required amount for your desired strength.

Example for a 100ml batch at 10% flavour:

  • Flavour concentrate: 10ml
  • PG: 30ml (if using 70/30 VG/PG)
  • VG: 60ml
  • Nicotine: as calculated for your preferred strength

4. Mixing Process

  1. Add Flavour Concentrate: Measure and pour the flavour concentrate into your bottle.
  2. Add Nicotine (if using): Measure carefully and add to the bottle.
  3. Add PG and VG: Measure and add the PG and VG according to your chosen ratio.
  4. Cap and Shake: Secure the cap and shake vigorously for 1–2 minutes to mix thoroughly.

5. Steeping

  • Label your bottle with the date, flavour, and ratios.
  • Store in a cool, dark place.
  • Allow to steep for 1–2 weeks for best flavour development, shaking the bottle daily.

6. Test and Adjust

  • After steeping, test a small amount in your device.
  • Adjust flavour, PG/VG ratio, or nicotine strength if needed for future batches.
  • Record your recipe and any changes for reference.

Safety Reminders

  • Only use vape-specific, food-grade concentrates.
  • Never use essential oils, general food flavourings, or tap water.
  • Handle nicotine with care—wear gloves and avoid skin contact.
  • Store all ingredients and finished liquids away from children and pets.
