Why Create Your Own E Liquid Recipes?

Creating your own e liquid recipes gives you total control over flavour intensity, nicotine strength, and VG/PG ratio. Whether you’re chasing huge clouds or a smooth throat hit, DIY e-liquid mixing allows you to tailor every element of your vape experience. It’s also a cost-effective and creative way to explore new combinations that aren’t available in store-bought e-liquids.

Home mixing can also help you better understand how different flavour concentrates interact, for example, how sweeteners or cooling agents like WS-23 can subtly enhance fruit blends or menthol mixes.

E Liquid Recipe Categories

Cakey & Dessert Recipes:

Perfect for those who enjoy bakery-style vapes. Think creamy vanilla custard, cheesecake swirls, and rich chocolate fudge combinations. These e liquid recipes tend to use flavour concentrates such as Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Graham Cracker, and Sweet Cream to create a warm, indulgent profile.

Fruit Recipes:

Fruit-based e liquids are always popular due to their freshness and sweetness. From simple strawberry blends to complex tropical medleys featuring mango, pineapple, and lychee — these recipes are bright, juicy, and perfect for all-day vaping.

Menthol & Ice Recipes:

If you like a cool hit, menthol and ice recipes bring a refreshing chill. Menthol e liquid recipes often use concentrates like Peppermint, Polar Ice, or WS-23 to achieve varying levels of coolness, making them ideal for summer vapes or palate cleansers.

Tobacco Recipes:

For ex-smokers and those who enjoy a more grounded flavour, tobacco e liquid recipes combine authentic tobacco bases with subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, or nut. These recipes aim to replicate the warmth and satisfaction of traditional cigarettes, with a smoother edge.

What You’ll Need to Start Mixing

Before you dive into your first e liquid recipe, you’ll need a few essentials:

  • Base liquids: Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG)
  • Nicotine (optional): Choose your preferred strength and handle safely
  • Flavour concentrates: The key to every unique recipe
  • Mixing tools: Syringes, pipettes, and digital scales for precision
  • Empty bottles: To store your finished vape juice

Always use clean equipment, mix in a well-ventilated area, and label your bottles clearly with recipe details and mix dates.

Expert Tips for Crafting Perfect E Liquid Recipes

  • Start small: Mix small batches (10ml–30ml) until you perfect the flavour balance.
  • Steeping matters: Some recipes (especially desserts and tobaccos) taste better after steeping for 1–2 weeks.
  • Take notes: Document your exact measurements so you can reproduce successful mixes.
  • Balance your VG/PG ratio: Higher VG = thicker clouds and smoother hits; higher PG = stronger flavour and throat hit.
  • Experiment with layering: Combine base notes (custard, cream), mid notes (fruits), and top notes (menthol, sweetener) for depth.

Frequently Asked Questions About E Liquid Recipes

❓ What are e liquid recipes?

E liquid recipes are detailed guides showing how to mix your own vape juice using base liquids (VG/PG), nicotine (optional), and flavour concentrates. Each recipe lists ingredient ratios and mixing instructions so you can create your own unique vape flavours at home.

❓ Is it safe to make your own e liquid?

Yes - as long as you use high-quality ingredients and follow proper safety guidelines. Always handle nicotine carefully (wear gloves and eye protection), measure accurately, and mix in a clean, ventilated space. Avoid using non-vaping flavourings or unverified ingredients.

❓ What do I need to start making e liquid recipes?

You’ll need:

  • Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG)
  • Nicotine (optional, depending on preference)
  • Flavour concentrates
  • Mixing tools (syringes, pipettes, or digital scales)
  • Empty bottles for storage

Most DIY mixers also keep labels, gloves, and a notebook for tracking recipes.

❓ How long should I steep e liquid after mixing?

Steeping time depends on the flavour type:

  • Fruit or menthol recipes: 1–3 days
  • Dessert or tobacco recipes: 1–2 weeks (sometimes longer)

Steeping allows the flavours to blend and mellow, giving a smoother and more balanced vape.

❓ What is the best VG/PG ratio for e liquid recipes?

This depends on your device and vaping style:

  • 70VG/30PG: Best for sub-ohm vaping, smooth and cloudy
  • 50VG/50PG: Balanced flavour and throat hit
  • 60PG/40VG: Strong flavour for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vapers

Adjust the ratio based on whether you prefer bigger clouds or stronger flavour delivery.

❓ Can I make nicotine-free e liquid recipes?

Absolutely. Many vapers mix zero-nicotine e liquids simply for flavour enjoyment. Just skip the nicotine step and adjust the VG/PG ratio to maintain consistency.

❓ What are the most popular flavour concentrates for DIY e liquid recipes?

Some of the most-loved flavour bases include:

  • Fruits: Strawberry, Mango, Blueberry, Watermelon
  • Desserts: Vanilla Custard, Cheesecake, Donut
  • Menthol: Peppermint, WS-23, Coolada
  • Tobacco: RY4, Burley, Virginia

Brands like Capella, FlavourArt, The Flavor Apprentice (TFA), and Inawera are well-known among DIY mixers.

❓ Where can I find new e liquid recipes to try?

Right here! Our community e liquid recipe hub is constantly growing with user-submitted recipes, flavour guides, and new blends. You can browse by flavour type, VG/PG ratio, or difficulty - and soon, submit your own creations through our recipe submission form.

❓ Can I recreate commercial vape flavours at home?

Many DIY enthusiasts enjoy “clone recipes” that mimic popular commercial e liquids. While exact duplication can be tricky, experimenting with similar flavour bases (e.g., strawberry custard, blue slush, tobacco caramel) can get you remarkably close.

❓ Do e liquid recipes expire?

E liquids generally last up to two years if stored properly — in a cool, dark place away from sunlight. Nicotine may oxidize and darken over time, but that’s normal. Always check for unusual odours or separation before use.

✅ Pro Tip: Keep notes of your successful mixes; name, date, ingredients, and steeping time. This builds your own personalised recipe book and helps you tweak future batches to perfection.
