1 Finally, it’s time to start mixing; so pull on your gloves! Then, you will want to clear yourself an area and grab your tools and ingredients. For this recipe, we have gone with a 50PG 50VG mix with 3mg nicotine and a flavour combination of banana and strawberry. We will make 10ml of e-liquid in total. 3 2 Start off by adding 3.1ml of Propylene Glycol and 5ml of Vegetable Glycerine into your mixing cup using a syringe. HINT: If you are struggling to get the syringe inside the bottle, empty your PG and VG into seperate cups. 4 Now add 0.7 ml of TFA Ripe Banana and 0.8ml of Capella Sweet Strawberry into your mixing cup. These flavours can be purchased from the Make My Vape online store. Let’s add our nicotine. You may not want nicotine, in which case, just add 0.4ml more PG. If you do want nicotine however, then measure out 0.4ml, and add it to the mix. HINT: Either clean or use seperate syringes to make sure you don’t contaminate your flavours. Note that nicotine comes in various strengths and can also be carried in VG; For this mix, I have used 72mg strength nicotine, carried in PG. 5 Now that all your ingredients have been added, mix them around using your syringe and transfer the contents into your 10ml bottle. Screw the cap onto your bottle and give it a good shake to make sure the heavier liquids aren’t sitting at the bottom. 6 There is one final step in mixing called steeping. This allows the liquids to settle and combine with one another to create a full flavour profile. Place your bottle inside a cool, dark area such as a cupboard and let it sit; I recommend allowing your liquid to steep overnight. Once you’re done steeping, add the e-liquid to your device and vape on! CHECK OUT MAKEMYVAPE.CO.UK FOR MIXING GUIDES, SUPPLIES AND RECIPES! VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE AUGUST 2015 63
