Tropical Bliss E-Liquid Recipe
Ingredients (for 30mL of e-liquid):
- Base (VG/PG Mix):
- Vegetable Glycerin (VG): 70%
- Propylene Glycol (PG): 30%
- Flavor Concentrates:
- Sweet Mango: 6% (1.8mL)
- Pineapple: 4% (1.2mL)
- Passionfruit: 3% (0.9mL)
- Strawberry Ripe: 2% (0.6mL)
- Coconut: 1% (0.3mL)
- Nicotine (Optional): Adjust to your preferred strength. For example, 3mg/mL would require 0.9mL of 100mg/mL nicotine solution.
- Sweetener (Optional): 1% (0.3mL) of sucralose or ethyl maltol, if desired.
Mixing Instructions:
- Safety First: Use gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when handling nicotine.
- Use a syringe to measure and add the ingredients to a clean bottle in this order: nicotine (if used), flavor concentrates, PG, and finally VG.
- Cap the bottle and shake vigorously for 2–3 minutes to blend.
- Allow the mixture to steep for 3–7 days to allow flavors to meld. Shake the bottle daily during steeping.
- Test the e-liquid after steeping and adjust flavors if necessary (e.g., add more sweetener or a hint of a specific fruit).
Customization Tips:
- Add Coolness: Add 1% Koolada or WS-23 for a refreshing icy finish.
- Balance Acidity: A drop of citric acid solution can brighten the fruit flavors.
- Experiment with Ratios: Adjust VG/PG levels to suit your device and vapor production preference.
