How to make your own weed vape ejuice?

As the popularity of vaping and using cannabis has grown, many people have been looking for ways to combine the two. One popular method is to make your own weed vape e-juice, which can provide a discreet and convenient way to consume cannabis. In this essay, I will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make your own weed vape e-juice.

Before we get started, it's important to note that making your own e-juice involves working with potentially dangerous ingredients and equipment. So, you must proceed with caution, and always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask. Additionally, you should never attempt to make e-juice if you have no prior experience in chemistry since you'd be dealing with chemical compounds that can be hazardous if handled inappropriately. Also, checks with your laws regarding the use of cannabis as weed is still illegal in many places around the world.

1. Materials and tools needed

Before you begin, make sure that you have all of the necessary materials and tools. You will need:

- Cannabis concentrate

- Propylene Glycol (PG)

- Vegetable Glycerin (VG)

- A dropper bottle

- A beaker or measuring cup

- A stirring rod

- An electronic scale

- A syringe

- A cooking pot

- A stove or hotplate

- Empty vape cartridges

- A heat-resistant container

- A heating source like a hot plate

2. Choose your cannabis concentrate

The first step is to choose the cannabis concentrate you want to use. You can use the leftover product of any cannabis strain, but it's better to ask your local dispensary or supplier for recommendations. Remember that the potency of your e-juice will depend on the quality and strength of your concentrate, so pick carefully, keeping in mind that different strains may have varying effects on you.

3. Decarboxylate the cannabis concentrate

Now it's time to decarboxylate the cannabis concentrate. To activate the active compounds, you need to heat the concentrate at a low temperature for about 40-60 minutes. Preheat your oven at 240-270°F or 115-130°C. Place your concentrate in a heat-resistant container and put it in the oven. It's essential to cover your container and make sure that heat doesn't deform your container either. When done, you should allow the concentrate to cool down to room temperature.

4. Mix PG and VG

Once your cannabis concentrate is decarboxylated, it's time to combine your PG and VG. VG produces more vapor and has a sweeter taste than PG, but PG is less viscous and provides less throat irritation. A balanced mix between PG and VG is usually advised for a great tasting and vaping experience. Remember that VG is often thicker than PG and can clog the small wick holes in your vape tank. Choose your preferred ratio, but most vapers would consider 50:50, to start with. You can adjust this in the future once you have perfected your mixture.

5. Melt the cannabis concentrate

In a cooking pot, pour a small amount of water (to stabilize the heat level) and place your heat-resistant container with the cannabis concentrate in the pot. Heat the pot on the stove or hot plate while stirring the concentrate. You need to mix it until it turns into a liquid form, and make sure that the heat level is not too high to prevent burning or boiling. Once done, turn off the heat and let the concentrate cool down.

6. Blend the cannabis concentrate with the PG/VG mixture

After the Cannabis concentrate has melted, add your PG/VG mixture using your dropper bottle and stirring rod until it is thoroughly combined. Make sure that the concentrate is evenly distributed in the e-juice. If you find it difficult to mix, gently heat the e-juice with a heat source like a hotplate at a very low setting to maximize the viscosity and loosen up any remnants.

7. Fill your vape cartridges

Using your syringe, fill your vape cartridges with the e-juice mix. Make sure to fill the cartridge not more than three-quarters full, leaving enough space for air compression. This controlled space ensures that you get better vaping by allowing enough air to pass through the wick hole and eventually to the coil.

8. Store the e-juice

Keep your e-juice in a dark, cool place and avoid direct sunlight. Store your e-juice in a safe place from the children or pets. One easy hack to store leftover vaping cartridges is by removing the top cover, which then exposes the e-juice and keeping the remainder in a cool, dry area for future use.

Making your own weed vape e-juice requires a degree of technicality and careful consideration. Safety is key as these are hazardous substances that require careful handling to produce the desired outcome. Making your own vape juice with cannabis concentrate can be done with the right materials and equipment, but it can be daunting if you're not familiar with vaporization chemistry. If done properly, it can be an exciting and fun new way to consume cannabis. Now that you know the steps, have fun making your own weed e-juice!
