If you are new to DIY e-liquid mixing it can feel like you are stepping into a lab rather than a vape shop. It does not have to be complicated. With one straightforward Make My Vape kit and a little guidance you can easily start crafting your own e liquid blends at home.
At Make My Vape we have the ultimate DIY Mixing Kits ready to go that include everything you need from VG PG Mix Bases, flavour concentrates, bottles and accessories. In this blog we will guide you through what a DIY mixing kit is, why you might want one, what you will typically find inside the kits, the different kits available and which one might make sense for you.
What is a DIY Mixing Kit?
A Make My Vape DIY mixing kit bundle have the core components you need to start creating e-liquids yourself. Instead of picking each item one by one and not knowing where to start, we have kits available that simplifies everything into one package.
Benefits include
Cost effectiveness. Buying in a kit often saves compared to buying each part separately.
Simplicity. For a beginner you do not have to guess what accessories you need. The kit covers everything.
Flexibility. Choose which kit is right for you from Medium to XXL. You also have the option to choose which e-liquid flavour concentrates you would like to buy.
Learning opportunity. You build understanding of how creating e-liquid works, including bases, flavour concentrates and PG VG ratios.
What is inside the kits and what do you need?
Here is a breakdown of Mixing Kit contents, so you know what to expect.
Base liquids. Vegetable Glycerine VG and Propylene Glycol PG in one or more ratio mixes. These make up the bulk of your e liquid. If it is your first time we advise not to buy the premixed PG VG. Buying straight PG and VG makes it easier to calculate the ratios of nicotine to concentrate to PG VG.
Flavour concentrates. Three to ten e-liquid concentrate flavours of your choice depending on which bundle size you choose.
Accessories. Example of XXL Mixing Kit. 1x 1ml syringe, 1x 5ml syringe, 1x 10ml syringe, 1x needle, x3 10ml PET bottles with child safety and tamper proof caps, 1x 60ml plastic bottles, x3 adhesive labels, 1x pair of mixing gloves, 1x 10ml cylinder and 100ml mixing beaker.
E-liquid Calculator tools. Our e-liquid Calculator is used by thousands of DIY vaping enthusiasts around the world.
Optional accessories. We have optional extras available for example weighing scales and extra accessories to add to your order.
When you purchase a Mixing Kit we need to make you aware that nicotine is sold separately.
