Whether you’re just starting out and need guidance or looking to refine your home set up, the right tools make all the difference. Let’s dive in and explore what you’ll need to mix like a pro.

1. Empty Bottles

First on the list are empty e-liquid bottles. These bottles are the backbone of any DIY e-liquid setup. Whether you're mixing a small 10ml test batch or creating a large batch of your favourite blend, having the right bottle size is essential. At Make My Vape, we stock a wide range of bottles, including the world renowned Chubby Gorilla bottles. These bottles make your mixing process clean, convenient and consistent. Our range includes sizes from 10ml, 30ml, 60ml, 100ml, 120ml, 500ml, all the way up to 1 litre. Most bottles are clear, with the exception of our brand-new black 100ml Chubby Gorilla bottles (available in a 3-pack).

2. E-liquid Weighing scale

Next up on our list is the digital weighing scale and this is a must have for DIY mixers for safe and accurate e-liquid mixing. Mixing by weight has its advantages against using syringes, as using scales can be a faster to use also far more precise.
Our Make My Vape digital scales are a high-quality and features, LCD display with 0.1g accuracy ensuring your ingredients are measured to perfection every time, giving you consistent results with every mix.

MMV Tip: Always use a flat, stable surface when weighing for best results.

3. Syringes

4. Cylinder and Mixing Beaker

The measuring cylinder is perfect for small, accurate volume measurements, while the beaker is ideal for mixing and combining your ingredients with minimal mess. Our Make My Vape set includes a 10ml measuring cylinder and a 100ml mixing beaker. Each piece features moulded gradations that won’t smudge or wear off when exposed to e-liquid ingredients.

5. Label / Notepad

Keeping track of your mixes are very important. Using labels on your bottle and using a notepad helps you record exactly what you have created. By keeping record of flavour percentages, nicotine strength, VG/PG ratios and steeping notes ensures you won’t mix them up later or forget what you have done.

6. Mixing Kits

7. Nicotine, VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and PG (Propylene Glycol)

The most crucial part to creating your e-liquid recipe is the Nicotine, VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol).

Whether you prefer pure PG, VG, or a custom PG/VG blend, we offer a diverse selection to cater to your preferences. Our base liquids are designed to be effortless to use, allowing you to effortlessly craft your perfect e-liquid blend with ease. For further insights into PG and VG and their impact on your vaping experience, delve into our informative guide on 'E-liquid ingredients - What is VG & PG?'.

1. Gloves

Using gloves is an essential when mixing your own e-liquid. When handling nicotine or concentrated ingredients, it's important to protect your skin from accidental contact.  Whether you're mixing a small batch of e-liquid or working with higher nicotine strengths, gloves help keep your workspace clean and your hands protected.

2. Glasses

Wearing safety glasses is a smart move when mixing your own e-liquid especially when working with nicotine. Safety glasses help protect your eyes from accidental contact with liquids and give you peace of mind while you focus on creating your perfect mix. DIY mixing can sometimes get messy and it’s easy for liquids to splatter when you're handling syringes, bottles, or pouring ingredients and this can be dangerous, so glasses are great for precaution.

3. Paper Towels

Mixing e-liquid can get messy and spillages can happen to the best of us, so having paper towels and surface cleaner by your side is necessary to keep your workspace clean and hygienic. Even using the paper towels on your work surface for your mixing kits to sit on is advised.
