I am mixing my vape juice at home. The ingredients are always the same and chemically quite straight forward:
Vegetable Glycerine (VG)
Propylene Glycol (PG)
These are usually mixed 50-50 and give you the juice / liquid base. You can buy those pre-mixed but AFAIK that is not good for long term storage.
You then add Nicotine (optional) and for flavor any regular food aromas.
Vape shops should be able to supply you with these things in bulk sizes. Make sure they are in proper containers for long term storage. I think I heard that Nicotine is not chemically stable but I might be wrong.
- LinuxBender 4y agoIs the Nicotine diluted? I believe 1 drop would be about 50mg if it were pure Nicotine?
- feet 4y agoFlavoring should not be used in vape juice. There is none approved for inhalation and it is what causes most issues. If you want to make your own, just use VG/PG and nicotine. Gotta ask, is this really for harm reduction moving from cigarettes? Those were not flavored and we use them for the nicotine. So why should people add flavor to vape juice if it doesn't do anything besides increase risk of harm?
- doktorhladnjak 4y agoSame reason tobacco companies made menthol and clove cigarettes. It provides a way to differentiate the product in order to bring in more customers.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoNah, menthol is added to make the smoke easier on the throat so it’s easier to start smoking. Menthol is also a kappa-opioid agonist which means it causes dysphoria (the opposite of euphoria) for a longer time than the nicotine-MAOI combination causes euphoria, leading users to get another fix.
