DIY E-liquids

DIY Flavour Concentrates for Making Your Own E-Liquid

DIY flavour concentrates allow you to customise the flavour of an e-liquid for e-cigarettes. Unlike ready-to-vape e-liquids, these concentrates must be diluted in a suitable base before use. They are available in many flavour categories, including fruity, dessert, tobacco, menthol and cooling flavours.

At RoyalCig, explore our selection of concentrates for making homemade e-liquids, along with PG/VG bases, nicotine boosters and DIY accessories. Every preparation must follow the manufacturer's instructions, particularly the recommended dilution percentage and steeping time.

Which DIY Flavour Concentrates Should You Choose?

Fruity Flavour Concentrates

Fruity concentrates offer flavour profiles featuring red berries, citrus fruits, exotic fruits or more complex blends. Some recipes combine several fruits, while others focus on a single dominant flavour.

Dessert Flavour Concentrates

Dessert flavour concentrates are inspired by recipes featuring vanilla, caramel, biscuits, creams and desserts. Their formulations may require a different steeping period from fruity recipes.

Tobacco Flavour Concentrates

Tobacco concentrates offer profiles inspired by light tobacco, dark tobacco or more elaborate flavour blends. Some formulations combine woody, roasted, vanilla or dessert notes.

Menthol and Cooling Flavour Concentrates

Menthol and cooling concentrates may offer a mint flavour, a refreshing sensation or a combination with fruity flavours. Intensity varies according to the recipe and recommended mixing percentage.

How to Make DIY E-Liquid

DIY e-liquid preparation mainly involves three ingredients: a PG/VG base, a flavour concentrate and, optionally, a suitable nicotine booster. The amount of each ingredient must be calculated according to the desired final volume.

Choosing Your PG/VG Base

Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) affect the viscosity of the mixture and how it performs in an e-cigarette. A 50/50 PG/VG base is one of the formulations used for DIY mixing, but the choice also depends on the flavour manufacturer's recommendations and the vaping equipment.

Following the Recommended Concentrate Percentage

The mixing percentage of a flavour concentrate is generally expressed as a percentage of the final volume. There is no universal mixing percentage: two concentrates from different brands may require very different proportions.

For example, to prepare 100 ml of e-liquid with 10% flavour concentrate, use 10 ml of concentrate and add 90 ml of other compatible ingredients. This example only illustrates the calculation and is not a recommended mixing percentage for all concentrates.

Always consult the product information for your chosen concentrate before preparing your mixture.

Optionally Adding a Nicotine Booster

For preparations intended for adult smokers who use nicotine, nicotine boosters can be added to the mixture. The amount must be calculated according to the booster concentration, the desired final nicotine strength and the total volume.

Nicotine is addictive. Handling it requires special precautions, and nicotine-containing preparations must be kept out of reach of children and pets.

How Long Should DIY E-Liquid Steep?

Steeping time is the recommended resting period after preparing a DIY e-liquid. It allows the different flavour components to distribute throughout the mixture.

The duration varies depending on the manufacturer, formulation and recipe. Some concentrates may need only a short steeping period, while others require longer. It is therefore preferable to follow the specific instructions for each concentrate rather than applying a general steeping time.

Useful DIY E-Liquid Accessories

To prepare e-liquid accurately, use suitable bottles, reliable measuring equipment and clean tools. Label each mixture with its composition, any nicotine concentration and its preparation date.

Follow hygiene instructions and ingredient handling precautions. A flavour concentrate must never be vaped undiluted, and ordinary food flavourings must not be used for vaping unless their suitability for this purpose is explicitly confirmed.

RoyalCig and Music Juice Flavour Concentrates

RoyalCig offers various DIY flavour concentrates, including Music Juice concentrates. This range features recipes inspired by musical styles, available in bottle sizes suitable for making e-liquids.

For each concentrate, consult the information on its product page: flavour profile, bottle size, recommended mixing percentage, composition and steeping time. These details are essential for preparing a mixture in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
