DIY Apple Ice E-Liquid Recipe (30/70 PG/VG, 6mg Nic)

This is a simple, crisp apple blend with a cool menthol finish. Nothing fancy—just a solid all-day vape.

What you’ll need (makes 10ml final mix):

Ingredient ml grams % of total
72mg nicotine base (100% VG) 0.83 1.05 8.33%
PG 1.0 1.04 10%
VG 6.17 7.79 61.67%
Base total 8.0 9.88 80%
TFA Apple 1.6 1.66 16%
TFA Marshmallow 0.1 0.10 1%
TFA Menthol 0.3 0.31 3%
Total 10.0 11.95 100%

Quick facts:

  • Final nicotine strength: 6 mg
  • PG/VG ratio: 30 / 70
  • Total flavoring: 20% (2ml / 2.07g)

A few real-world notes:

  1. That 16% TFA Apple might look high, but it works. TFA Apple isn’t the strongest concentrate—this percentage gives you a clean, slightly sweet green apple taste without turning into candy.
  2. Marshmallow (just 1%) smooths out the sharp edges. You won’t taste it directly, but it adds a soft mouthfeel.
  3. Menthol at 3% gives you a chill on the exhale, not a freezer blast. If you want more kick, bump it to 4–5%—just know it’ll start muting the apple.
  4. The nic is VG-based, so if you prefer a thinner mix, switch to a PG-based nic and adjust your PG/VG numbers accordingly.

Steep time? Shake well and vape. This one doesn’t need a steep—apple flavor and menthol play nice right away. After 2–3 days the apple settles down a bit, but it’s perfectly fine as a shake-and-vape.

One last thing: The original recipe calls for 0ml of water/vodka, so this is a straight PG/VG/nic/flavor mix. No thinning agents needed at 70% VG—it should wick fine in most sub-ohm tanks and RDAs.

Happy mixing.
