DIY E-juice without the hassle

  It’s safe to say that I love to vape. I write a blog, host a YouTube channel, and Tweet about vaping all the time, but the thing that I love the most is interacting with the vaping community. I now carry five or six bottles of juice on me at times, just to show people I run into, what is out there in there world of vaping. Time and time again I get asked the same question. “Why don’t you make your own juice?” I think it would be fun to do, but there are many reasons why I don’t.

   One of the main reasons I don’t make my own juice is the lack of space for a clean room. While I don’t expect a DYIer to have a clean room the caliber of Mister E-liquids or Stella Blues Vapor, but there should be some level of safety. The tobacco in a cigarette is the most dangerous part, it’s all the filler and other material that makes its way into a cigarette. The same applies for making e-liquid in an unclean room. I can’t stress enough the importance of having a good sterile environment to make your juice and remember Nicotine is a poison. Treat it with the caution it deserves.

   The cost of starting up can be expensive. While none of it individually is going to break the bank. The number of items you need will add up very quickly. You’ll need to buy PG, VG, maybe Nicotine, two or more flavors, bottles, safety gear, etc. It adds up and if you’re going to make a juice to share with your friends you don’t want to buy the cheapest flavors out there. Their horrible and it’s sad to say, but some small vape shops use them. You can usually tell because the vape has a weird aftertaste.

   Time is another huge issue. While it might not be an issue for everybody, it is for me. I work 50 hours a week, take 12 credit hours a semester majoring in Chemical Engineering, (4.0 GPA baby), do reviews, and I’m married with three kids. That doesn’t allow me time to create my own juices.

   That all being said, I do have ideas for juices from time to time. The thought of creating something new excites me. So I found a new obsession. Come up with an idea and have a vape shop make it for you. Several companies have a DIY feature on their websites, CnA Vapor is a great one, and I encourage everybody to try it at least once. I absolutely love it. You get a few flavors that pop into your head, go to the website and fill out the form and Bang, before you know it a juice you created will be at your door. It’s a blast to do and it’s slowly becoming my newest obsession. The one drawback for somebody like myself is that you HAVE to let it steep. When you get your juice it might be three days old. At that point it’s not even worth doing a sample drip. I would recommend at least two weeks to let the flavors steep properly. If you do that you’ll be rewarded with the potential for a great new one of a kind vape.

   Give it a try sometime and see where it takes you. You never know it might be so good your friends will be jealous and you’ll be the talk of your town. Crazier things have happened. Until next time love what you vape,

Fruit Flavor of the Year Finalists.

   Fruit is the one category of liquid that I vape every day. The juice makers have a field day creating new and interesting ways to utilize fruit into some of the best tasting vapes on the market. After hundreds of bottles I have narrowed down the field to the five finalists.  Here are the five finalist for the Fruit Flavor of the Year.

   #1 CnA Vapor Berry Delight – Take a bowl full of fresh fruit and mix in a heavenly dose of cream and you get CnA Vapor’s Berry Delight. The berries are very natural tasting and you feel like you picked them yourself, but the thing that sets this liquid off is the cream. It’s the best cream flavor on the market. A true delight to vape.

   #2Derby City Flavor Raspberry Linzer Macaroon – Derby City makes great liquids, but this is my favorite vape they make. The raspberry pops with flavor without going over the top. This is the definition of a great all day vape. Much like the dessert that it’s named after Derby City’s Raspberry Linzer Macaroon is a Louisville original that isn’t made anywhere else in the world.

   #3Drip Clouds Strawberry Dreams – Drip Clouds is the eighth wonder of the world. A max VG vape with a ton of flavor. The strawberry flavor tastes fresh, sweet, and natural. The cream wrapped around the strawberry is a sweet kiss of heaven. Ever since the first time I vaped Strawberry Dreams, it has been a favorite of mine.

   #4Mister E-liquids Pure Michigan – This is one of the most pure tasting vapes I’ve ever tried. After a good steep the flavor notes blend together so well yet are able to stand on their own. The strawberries and apples are so fresh tasting you would think they were picked and squeezed into the bottle. Every time I vape Pure Michigan it makes me think of the summers of my youth having fun in the warm Michigan sun.

   #5Stella Blues Vapor Twisted Fruit – If you ever want to play a game of guess that fruit, pick up a bottle of Twisted Fruit. The sheer amount fruits used in this vape is amazing. My personal best is identifying five different fruit flavors in a single vape. It has Mango, Tangerine, Strawberries, Pear, Peach and more. All this without ever getting muddled, a work of art.

   Looking forward to the award shows on the 28th of Dec. and until next time Love what You Vape.

Candy Flavor of the Year Finalist

When it comes to the amount of flavors in a category, there are few that rival the size of the Candy category. I can’t think of a single candy bar or bag of candy that hasn’t been copied. I recently vaped a really nice Swedish Fish e-liquid. With all this competition, I had a hard time narrowing it down to the final five, but I did it and here is the list. So here they are:

#1 CnAVapor Skittles – This was one of the first flavors that I tried from CnA and it’s still great. When you vape this you can actually taste each individual color. The flavors are strong, but not overwhelming. A nice balance that makes for an enjoyable vape.

#2 GRE-liquid Ziggy Starburst – Ground Control to Major Flavor. I love the pink Starburst and that is exactly what this vape tastes like. This is my favorite vape from GR E-liquid and a great addition to this list.

#3 GRVape OPP – You down with OPP. Orange Push Pop, how can you go wrong with that flavor? I’ve tried several different companies version of Orange Push Pop and I have to say this is my favorite. GR Vape has perfected the ratio of Orange to Cream to nail the taste of my favorite Ice Cream Truck treat.

#4 JoostVapor Swagger – This juice contains a lot of fruit flavors and is fun to vape. After vaping it all day I still would consider it more of a candy than a fruit. I always have a bottle of Swagger on standby just in case the mood hits me.

#5 Vapejoose Peach Ring – Who doesn’t love that gas station favorite Peach Rings in the 2 for $1 bag. I’ve consumed more than my fair share of them as a kid and when I tried the Peach Rings from Vapejoose I was immediately transported back to those happy days of my youth. It’s a great memory for me and a great all day juice.
