What happens when you play vape scientist?
Every now and then, a customer leans over the counter and asks me, “Can I mix two juices together?” And my answer is always the same: Absolutely — as long as you know what you’re doing.
Mixing e-liquids isn’t just allowed — it can be a brilliant way to customise your vape experience. Want to turn your basic strawberry into a tropical masterpiece? Add a splash of mango. Wish your menthol hit harder? Try blending it with an icy burst.
But there are a few things you should know before you start chucking different flavours into your tank like it’s a smoothie bar.
Let’s break it down, beginner-style.
✅ Can You Mix E-Liquids?
Yes — you can mix e-liquids, and many vapers do. In fact, a lot of commercial flavours are blends of multiple base flavours anyway. That fruity twist you love in your favourite bottle? Someone’s already done some DIY behind the scenes.
Whether you’re:
- Finishing up two half-used bottles
- Wanting to create something unique
- Trying to stretch your juice stash...
…mixing can be a fun and tasty experiment.
🧪 How to Mix E-Liquids the Right Way
Here’s how to do it without turning your vape into a flavour disaster.
1. Stick to Similar Ratios
Don’t mix a 70/30 high-VG cloud chaser with a 50/50 nic salt unless you know how it’ll behave. Different PG/VG ratios affect:
- Wicking (can lead to dry hits)
- Vapour production
- Throat hit
If you’re using a pod kit, best to stick to 50/50 blends. For sub-ohm, high-VG is fine — but mixing the two might gunk up your coil or mess with performance.
2. Match Nicotine Types and Strengths
If you mix a 20mg nic salt with a 3mg freebase, things could get weird — not just in taste, but in how your body reacts.
Best practice:
- Only mix nic salts with other nic salts
- Only mix freebase with freebase
- If you do mix strengths, calculate the new total (e.g., 10ml of 20mg + 10ml of 10mg = 15mg overall)
Don’t just guess — you don’t want to overdo it.
3. Start Small
You don’t need a lab setup — just a clean 10ml bottle will do.
- Start with 50/50 proportions of each flavour
- Shake well
- Let it sit (steep) for 10–30 minutes
- Test a small amount in your tank or pod
If it tastes good, great. If not… at least you didn’t waste your whole bottle!
4. Keep a Mixing Log
Trust me — the amount of times I’ve heard “What did I mix last week? It was banging, but I can’t remember what it was…”
Jot down:
- Flavours used
- Ratios
- PG/VG
- Nic strength
- Your thoughts
Yes, you’ll feel like a vape nerd. But when you discover a winning combo, it’s worth it.
💡 Flavour Combo Ideas to Try
If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few shop-favourite blends:
- Strawberry + Watermelon = Summer sweet
- Mango + Menthol = Exotic chill
- Vanilla Custard + Tobacco = Creamy smooth
- Lemonade + Blueberry = Fizzy berry twist
- Cola + Cherry = Classic drink vibes
Avoid mixing overly complex flavours (like “Unicorn Blood” and “Rainbow Candy”) unless you’re ready for flavour chaos.
⚠️ What Not to Mix
- Don’t mix salt nic with high-VG freebase
- Don’t mix expired or oxidised juice (brown or funky-smelling)
- Don’t mix three or more flavours until you’ve mastered two
And for the love of your coil, don’t mix anything that contains CBD or nicotine pouches into e-liquid. E-liquid is a specific formula — not a catch-all for random substances.
Final Thoughts from the Shop Floor
Mixing your own e-liquid flavours can be a fun little side project — a great way to learn more about your taste and get even more out of your kit. You don’t need to be a vape chemist — just start small, keep it simple, and don’t be afraid to experiment.
