Never Forget Your DIY E-Liquid Recipes With This New App

Most vapers don’t mix their own e-liquids because it’s too much of a hassle and there’s little reason to when there are so many different brands and flavors of e-liquid already on the market for vapers to choose from, but there are some that do. Among those that do mix their own custom vape juice concoctions, there is a need for an easy way to recall recipes without forgetting their ingredients and the proportions of those ingredients. This is where a new app from the UK vape store VapeKit (formerly known as Vapester) comes into play.

VapeKit’s new app takes the guesswork out of the equation, making sure that vapers remember exactly how to recreate their custom e-liquid flavors. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not exactly an innovative concept, it’s basically just a recipe book for e-liquid mixers. But that doesn’t mean it’s not useful because it absolutely is if you’re someone who mixes their own e-juice at home.

Here’s How It Works

The DIY e-liquid mixer’s recipes app by the company formerly known as Vapester.

First, you download the app from the Google Play Store and install it on the Android device that you want to use it on. Once you have it installed, you load it up and from the main screen, you select the “new recipe” option to add your first recipe. Once you’ve added all of the ingredients that go in the recipe and selected the amounts of each one, you give the recipe a name and save it. That’s it. Now the recipe is saved so that you’ll never forget it. Any time you want to remake the e-liquid, you just open the app, click the recipe, and you have the formula right in front of you, making it as easy as eating pie to recreate. Well, maybe not that easy but you get the point.

VapeKit calls this new app the Custom E-Liquid Recipes App For DIY Mixing and it’s rated M for mature on the Google Play Store. The rating shouldn’t be surprising given that the app is intended for use by adults who vape.

Making Your Own E-Liquid Is Easy

A lot of vapers assume that making e-liquid is a complicated process and while it can be, it doesn’t always have to be. Sure, there are top e-liquid manufacturers that make their e-juices inside of high-tech labs using sophisticated equipment that you probably don’t have access to, but you don’t necessarily need all that to make your own vape juice. All you really need is the ingredients, containers to store your finished product in, and tools to measure and move the ingredients. There are actually DIY e-liquid kits available for purchase at various vape stores that come with everything needed to make e-juice at home.

As it stands, a lot of vapers already make adjustments to their e-juices, they just don’t make it all from scratch. For example, some vapers take e-liquids that they’ve purchased and mix them together, creating new flavors from existing flavors. Others, like many vapers in the United Kingdom, take the e-liquid that they buy from a store and add nicotine shots to it, which allows them to increase the nicotine strength beyond what the UK government allows retailers to sell. So as you can see it’s really not that hard to do and making your own e-juice really isn’t too different.

How To Make Your Own E-Juice

First, you’re going to need your DIY e-liquid mixing supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

Plastic bottles with childproof lids to hold the e-juice
A syringe with measurements to inject precise amounts
Liquid nicotine (either freebase or salt)
Flavoring
Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
Propylene Glycol (PG)
Distilled water

You don’t actually need all of these ingredients, as all it really takes is VG/PG and flavoring. The rest is basically optional. But to make a good e-liquid that you’ll enjoy later, there’s a chance you’ll want the rest of these ingredients as well. You may also want eye protection and a pair of gloves, especially if you’re working with nicotine.
