How to Mix E-Liquid Yourself Using Eirhorse Products

Mixing your own e-liquid allows you to customize your vaping experience, tailoring it to your preferred flavors, nicotine strength, and VG/PG ratio. Eirhorse offers a variety of ingredients and tools to help you craft your perfect vape juice. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to mix e-liquid using their products, followed by five example recipes to get you started.

Step-by-Step Guide to Mixing E-Liquid

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

• VG/PG Base: VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol) form the base of your e-liquid. VG gives a smoother throat hit and larger vapor clouds, while PG provides a stronger throat hit and carries flavor better. Eirhorse offers VG and PG in various ratios.
  • VG (70%) / PG (30%) – Popular for cloud chasers and smooth hits.
  • VG (50%) / PG (50%) – Balanced mix, suitable for both flavor and vapor production.
• Flavors: Eirhorse provides a wide range of e-liquid concentrates, which come in different flavor profiles such as fruits, desserts, tobacco, menthol, and more. These concentrated flavors are highly concentrated, so only a small amount is needed.
• Nicotine (optional): If you wish to add nicotine, Eirhorse offers nicotine shots, typically in 18mg/ml strength, which can be diluted down to your desired strength.

2. Calculate the Ratio:

Determine the ratio of VG, PG, flavor, and nicotine based on your preferences. For example, if you want a 60ml bottle of e-liquid with 3mg/ml nicotine strength, you would need to calculate how much nicotine liquid to add. Here's a quick formula:

• Desired Nicotine Strength: 3mg/ml
• Nicotine Shot Strength: 18mg/ml
• Volume of E-liquid: 60ml
• Use a nicotine calculator to determine how many milliliters of nicotine shot are needed. For this example, you'll need 10ml of nicotine shot to achieve a 3mg/ml strength in your 60ml mix.

3. Mixing Process:

• Step 1: Decide your VG/PG ratio. If you're using a 50/50 VG/PG mix, combine equal parts of VG and PG.
• Step 2: Add your chosen flavors to the base. A typical mix is around 10-20% flavoring, depending on the concentration of the flavor and your taste preferences. Start on the lower end if you're new to mixing.
• Step 3: Add nicotine if desired. Based on your preferred strength, mix in the required amount of nicotine shot.
• Step 4: Mix everything together thoroughly. Ensure that the nicotine and flavors are evenly distributed throughout the e-liquid.
• Step 5: Shake the bottle for a few minutes to ensure everything is fully mixed.

4. Steeping:

After mixing, it's a good idea to let your e-liquid "steep" for a few days. This allows the flavors to blend and intensify. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. Shake it once a day, and try it out after a few days. Some flavors might require longer steeping times.

Common Mistakes Made by Beginners and How to Avoid Them

1. Using Too Much Flavoring:

   • Mistake: Adding too much flavor concentrate can make the e-liquid taste too strong or artificial, sometimes even causing a harsh throat hit.
   • Solution: Stick to recommended flavoring percentages (usually 10-20%) and test with lower amounts. You can always add more if needed.

2. Not Steeping the E-Liquid:

   • Mistake: Using e-liquid right after mixing can result in underdeveloped flavors.
   • Solution: Allow your e-liquid to steep for a few days to enhance the flavor. Make sure to shake the bottle regularly to keep everything well-mixed.

3. Incorrect VG/PG Ratio:

   • Mistake: Choosing the wrong VG/PG ratio can lead to undesirable vaping experiences. A high VG ratio produces thicker vapor, while a high PG ratio offers a stronger throat hit.
   • Solution: Choose the right VG/PG ratio based on your preference for vapor production vs. throat hit. If unsure, start with a 50/50 mix.

4. Not Mixing Thoroughly:

   • Mistake: If your e-liquid isn't mixed thoroughly, the nicotine and flavors won’t be evenly distributed.
   • Solution: Shake the bottle well after adding the ingredients to ensure a consistent mixture.

5. Overlooking Nicotine Calculations:

   • Mistake: Incorrectly calculating the amount of nicotine shot needed can result in too much or too little nicotine.
   • Solution: Use a nicotine calculator or double-check the measurements to ensure the correct nicotine strength.
