Other DIY E-liquid Tools and Supplies
Everything you need to make your own e-liquid is available at Vapestore, but you’ll probably find it helpful to have the following tools an d supplies to hand.
- Mixing container -
You'll need a clean container to mix your e-liquid in. Glass or plastic beakers, graduated cylinders, or mixing bottles are all good options. Just make sure they are clean and free of any residues from previous mixes. - Empty bottles -
Once your e-liquid is mixed, you'll need to transfer it to a bottle for storage and use. There are many types of bottles available, including glass, plastic, and chubby gorilla bottles. Make sure the bottle is clean and labelled with the recipe, date mixed, and any other relevant information. - Syringes or pipettes –
Mixing syringes can be used to accurately measure out the ingredients, especially when dealing with small volumes or when trying to be precise with the ratios. Make sure to use a separate syringe for each ingredient to avoid cross-contamination. - Kitchen Scale –
You can choose to measure your ingredients by Volume with the aid of syringes or pipettes, or by Weight, for which you’ll need a set of simple kitchen scales that measures from 0.01 to 200g. - Labels -
It's important to label your e-liquid bottles with the recipe, date mixed, nicotine strength (if applicable), and any other relevant information. This will help you keep track of your mixes and avoid confusion later on. - Disposable Gloves –
While the ingredients involved in mixing DIY e-liquids are not harmful upon contact with skin, with the exception of nicotine suspended in e-liquid which can cause a reaction in a few cases, we recommend disposable gloves to protect yourself in the event of any spillages. - Funnel -
A small funnel can be helpful for transferring liquids into the bottle without spilling or making a mess.
Mixing E-Liquid with Vampire Vape Flavour Concentrates
The first step is towards making your own Vampire Vape Vape Juice is to determine your desired flavour intensity. Vampire Vape recommends starting with a 15% flavour concentrate to 85% base ratio, but you can adjust this based on your personal preference. For example, if you prefer a stronger flavour, you could increase the ratio of flavour concentrate.
Here's an approximate example recipe for a 30ml bottle of 70VG/30PG e-liquid with a 3mg Nicotine Strength and 15% flavour concentrate ratios:
Ingredient: PG
ML: 3.00
Percentage: 10
Ingredient: VG
ML: 17.50
Percentage: 58.33
Ingredient: Nicotine
ML: 5.00
Percentage: 16.67
Ingredient: Flavour Concentrate
ML: 4.50
Percentage: 15.00
TOTAL
ML: 30.00
Percentage: 100.00
Measure out these ingredients either by Volume using measuring syringes, or by Weight using kitchen scales.
Mix these ingredients in a clean container and shake well for at least a minute to ensure everything is fully mixed.

Storing and Steeping E-Liquid
Once you've mixed your e-liquid, you'll need to store it in a cool, dark place away from heat and light. This will help prevent oxidation and keep your e-liquid fresh for longer.
Steeping is the process of allowing your e-liquid to develop its full flavour. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the flavour and recipe. You can speed up the steeping process by unsealing the bottle and squeezing a little air into it or placing your e-liquid in a warm water bath.
Final Tips
- Keep it Simple:
Keep your initial batches small, about one bottle or so. Large batches can be wasteful if your e-liquid spoils from being in storage for too long. - Take Notes:
Recording your steps and quantities will help you replicate the flavours as well as tweak them for different outcomes. - Temper your Expectations:
Pre-mixed, bottled e-liquid are manufactured according to carefully tested procedures and recipes in ISO-certified cleanrooms and labs to ensure their consistent quality for consumers, so don’t expect your creations to exactly match the pre-mixed branded versions. Once you know what you’re doing, and get creative with flavours, who knows: you might actually improve upon them!
Making your own E-liquid
Before you start mixing, you'll need a few basic ingredients: propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), nicotine (optional), and Vampire Vape flavour concentrate.
It's important to handle these ingredients with care and take appropriate safety precautions. We recommend wearing gloves and protective eyewear when handling these components.
Propylene Glycol (PG)
PG is a clear, odourless liquid that is commonly used as a food additive and in various products such as cosmetics, medications, and eliquids. It is a key ingredient in e-liquids because it helps to carry the flavour and provides a stronger, more tactile throat hit. It is also thinner than VG, making it easier to wick and less prone to clogging coils. However, some people may be sensitive to PG and experience throat irritation or other adverse reactions.
Vampire Vape PG (Propylene Glycol) 250ml
This premium, UK-made Propylene Glycol (PG) is an essential component of e-liquid and is colourless, odourless and provides the throat hit and intensity of flavour that makes vaping so satisfying. This Propylene Glycol is USP/EP pharmaceutical grade and is intended for use with DIY E-liquid production, Vegetable Glycerin, Nicotine Shots (if required) and Flavour Concentrates.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
VG is a clear, sweet, and viscous liquid that is derived from vegetable oils such as palm or coconut oil. Like PG, it is commonly used in food and cosmetic products. VG is used in e-liquids to produce thick and dense vapour clouds and to provide a smoother vape experience. However, it can be slower to wick and can gunk up coils more easily than PG.
Vampire Vape VG (Vegetable Glycerin) 250ml
This premium, UK-made Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is an essential component of e-liquid and is colourless, odourless and provides the rich, dense clouds and a more comfortable throat hit than higher quantities of Propylene Glycol (PG). This Propylene Glycol is USP/EP pharmaceutical grade and is intended for use with DIY E-liquid production, Propylene Glycol, Nicotine Shots (if required) and Flavour Concentrates.
Nicotine (Optional)
Nicotine is an addictive stimulant that is naturally present in tobacco plants. It is often added to e-liquids in varying concentrations (usually measured in milligrams per millilitre or mg/ml) in the form of Nic Shots to provide a satisfying throat hit and nicotine fix. However, while nicotine is relatively harmless in very small doses, and in the doses commonly found in e-liquids and tobacco, it's important to remember that batch nicotine is a potent toxin and should be managed with care.
Vampire Vape NicIt Up 70/30 Nic Shot 10ml 18mg
NicIt Up nic shots let you tailor the nicotine content of your favourite 50ml and 100ml 0mg shortfill e-liquids so you can enjoy just the right amount of nicotine satisfaction in a long-lasting bottle of e-liquid. They come in a variety of PG/VG ratios and include Nicotine Salt and Menthol formulations and are ideal for adding to Shortfills as well as mixing with DIY e-liquids. Adding this 18mg nic shot to a 50ml bottle of 0mg e-liquid will produce 60ml of 3mg strength e-liquid.
Flavour Concentrate
Flavour concentrates are essentially flavouring extracts that are specially designed for use in eliquids. They are made from a combination of natural and artificial flavourings and are often very concentrated. Depending on the recipe, they may make up anywhere from 5-20% of the total e-liquid volume. The quality and taste of flavour concentrates can vary greatly depending on the brand and type, so it's important to choose a reputable supplier and experiment with different flavours to find the ones you like best. Vampire Vape flavours are known for their high-quality and unique flavour profiles, which is why they are a popular choice for DIY vapers.
Vampire Vape Watermelon Flavour Concentrate 30ml
Subtly sweet and refreshing, add the fresh, fruity taste of Watermelon to any DIY e-liquid with this flavour concentrate from Vampire Vape. Add to VG/PG DIY e-liquid Base Mix for optimum flavour. All Vampire Vape flavour concentrates are 100% PG based.
It's important to handle these ingredients with care and take appropriate safety precautions. We recommend wearing gloves and protective eyewear when handling these components.
Conclusion
Making your own vampire vape liquids using Vampire Vape flavour concentrates is a fun and cost-effective way to customize your vape experience. With a little experimentation and creativity, you can create your own unique flavour combinations and share them with the other vapers in your life, or even the wider vaping community.
