Laura’s Introduction to Vaping
Her and her husband, James, walked past the only shop in their small town. It is a quaint “ma and pa” so they decided to give it a try. Leaving with MTL (mouth to lung) pens and some incredibly high levels of nicotine in their vape juice, they marched home and gave it a shot. Soon after, it was apparent that they wanted something with higher wattage and, in turn, less nicotine.
The Leap Into DIY Mixing
It was roughly 6 months into vaping when she started to mix her own juice. Her and her husband had made the switch from MTL to DL. The wattages were high and so was the amount of money being spent on juice. The price tag on commercial juice was hard on the pocketbook. Once she researched a little bit, she discovered that DIY was exponentially cheaper. So with determination, she dove right in!
She describes the first months as a whirlwind of flavors and little patience for results. But this changed when she found e-liquid-recipes.com. Tons of research and a lot of trial and error yielded phenomenal results. Laura developed a passion that includes lots of love for the art of DIY’ing her own vape juice. She found a company she liked and two years later, hasn’t really explored other companies.
Laura’s Suggestions For Those That Want to Get Into DIY But Are Intimidated or Unsure
“Keep a notebook handy and write everything you find relevant to your own personal experience with recipe/flavors. Be patient, some juices need time to settle. Creams are a given for steep time. But in some cases, mixing fruits have a more diverse flavor if you can contain yourself and wait.” Don’t get her wrong, “shake and vape is still possible, but only in a pinch. Always freeze your nicotine! Take a small amount out that you will need in the immediate future. I didn’t do this and had to throw out some nicotine, a costly mistake! Keep everything in a cool, dark place and don’t forget your labels and dates! READ, READ, READ! Devour every piece of information you can. It will be worth it!”
Vape Community Involvement
Mixer Laura primarily uses the ELR forum which is where you will find her recipes, flavor stash, and forum information. It’s also a great resource to get help and talk about different aspects of vaping.
What is The Best Way For People to Advocate for Vaping?
Vaping is very misunderstood, especially in the USA. Laura takes it upon herself to give people the facts on vaping, if it comes up. Whether it is a doctor, a friend, family member, ect., she constantly works to aid friends that are interested in vaping. In doing so, it can ease them into vaping with the hope that they experience the benefits and quit smoking cigarettes.
“Its all about exposure in the vaping industry. If you see a story that scares you regarding vaping, really research the facts and make your own opinion. There is lots of controversial information out there. Take it upon yourself to learn about the topic. Take it upon yourself to see what wonderful benefits vaping has!”
