• Soda flavoring. The simplest and most affordable option, for the preparation of which a few drops of aroma oil are added to the soda. After this, the entire composition is mixed, and the container is covered with a lid with small holes.
• Diffusers with sticks. A diffuser is a beautiful glass container that is filled with a liquid with a pleasant smell. Tall incense sticks for the home, made of porous bamboo, are placed in it. Gradually they will become saturated with essential oil and spread the aroma throughout the room.
• Aroma lamps. The classic version is made of glass, ceramics, metal or stone and is a hybrid of a candlestick and a vase. A small bowl is filled with water or essential oil, and a candle should be placed at the bottom. When heated, the liquid spreads fragrances throughout the room.
• Gel option. It looks like jelly, which consists of gelatin, juice, glycerin and essential oil. After hardening, the mixture is applied in small pieces, which are placed in a jar, bowl or other convenient container.
• Aroma stones. Consists of flour, salt, essential oils and some other components that are mixed into one mass. After drying, they are laid out throughout the house in random order.

• You can make a sachet and fill such a bag with any dried fragrant herbs and flowers, or other dry filler, onto which you should apply a few drops of aromatic oil.

Water

They are less widespread due to the fact that they are inconvenient to use. To get the desired effect, the flavored solution must be heated each time. To obtain the product, add water to one of the following components and then bring to a boil:

• ginger;
• needles;
• carnation;
• orange;
• rosemary;
• cinnamon;
• lemon.

How to make home fragrance with your own hands

To make dry or liquid flavors for your home yourself, the main thing is to decide on the appropriate option. Some of them will become an interior component of a particular room, for example, aroma stones or diffusers. Even if you are not an ardent fan of aromatherapy, then linen bags and sachets with odorous contents will not be superfluous in your closet with clothes - they will not only give your wardrobe a fresh smell, but will also ward off moths and other insects. For self-made The following options are great:

• diffuser;
• sachet;
• aroma stones;
• humidifier;
• coffee flavoring.

This version of the aroma accessory is one of the most fashionable, because... with its help you can not only freshen the air, but also decorate the interior. It is ideal for aromatizing residential premises, especially small ones. In most cases, the diffuser container is made of glass, which is then filled with aromatic liquid. Special sticks are placed in the latter. To make your own diffuser with sticks you will need:

• a beautiful and heavy earthenware or glass bottle with a narrow neck;
• aromatic and essential oils;
• a light base oil (jojoba, fractionated coconut, almond or safflower) or dipropylene glycol (DPG).
• sticks made of wood, rattan, or bamboo skewers/skewers, or dry plant stems.

Finding the described components is not so problematic. The process of preparing a diffuser with sticks is even simpler:

1. Create a mixture using DPG/base oil (choose one) - the base should be 70%, and the essential oil or mixture of several oils should be 30%. If the smell is not as strong as you would like, then increase the proportion of esters. Sometimes a few teaspoons of alcohol are simply added to the essential oil mixture.
2. Try the resulting mixture in a small amount in an aroma lamp. If necessary, adjust the recipe, then repeat it in an aroma diffuser in accordance with the proportion.
3. Then insert the previously prepared sticks into the neck of the bottle. After a few hours, turn them over to the other side. It is recommended to turn the sticks over on different sides every few days.
4. Over time, the mixture in the diffuser will run out, and the wooden sticks will stop absorbing and transmitting the aroma oil. In this case, you will need to make a new diffuser.

Sachet

When you decide to make natural flavors for your home, pay attention to the sachets, which have not lost their relevance to this day. You can fill such a bag with dry citrus peels (tangerine, lemon, grapefruit), dried fragrant herbs and flowers (wormwood, mint, lemon balm). Even cotton wool is suitable as a filler - you just need to drip a little pink or rosemary aroma oil onto it.

Various spices will be added to the sachet: anise, cloves, vanilla pods, star anise, etc. Please note that the share of their weight in the total weight of the homemade flavoring in the bag should be relatively small. The fact is that they have an intense and sometimes pungent odor. Manufacturing stages:

1. First you need to prepare the bag. You can sew a sachet from any material, but choose natural fabrics, such as linen, burlap, etc. The dimensions should be relatively small - often 10x8 or 12x13 cm.
2. The cut bag needs to be sewn on three sides. Once it is filled with aromatic contents, tie it or sew it up completely.
3. If you plan to hang such a fragrance, be sure to sew a small loop to it. It would be nice to decorate the bag with lace, ribbons, embroidery or beads.
4. The sachet can be used as an air flavoring for a relatively short time - about 3 months, depending on the contents. After this period, the old filler should be replaced with a new one.

Aroma stones

In an original way decorate a house or apartment and at the same time neutralize unpleasant odors, is the production of “stone” flavoring – aroma stones. They are not difficult to make, and the ingredients required to create them can be found in any housewife’s kitchen. The aroma stone itself is a small figurine that can have any shape. For production, porous materials are often used, for example, dough, clay, gypsum. It is very important that the material is environmentally friendly and absorbs aromatic oils well. To make stones, prepare:

• any flour – 600 g;
• salt – 1 kg;
• hot water– 200 ml;
• corn or potato starch - 5 tbsp. spoon;
• various essential oils - a few drops;
• creative paints (you can use gouache) or food coloring.

In most cases, aroma stones are made small, because they are often used to aromatize small rooms. For this reason, you can carry such a pebble with you in your bag or pocket. Manufacturing technology:

1. Pour salt, starch and flour into a deep bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Dissolve the dye in water, then mix with the rest of the ingredients and knead into a stiff dough.
3. Divide the resulting dough into several small portions, from which the semblance of pebbles will be formed. Or roll out the entire mass into a flat cake 1 cm thick and use molds or a sharp knife to cut out various figures from the dough.
4. Apply 2-3 drops of any essential oil to each resulting pebble, then leave until completely dry.
5. Once the incense stones are dry, place them around the house in random order. Arrange them one by one or in groups of several pieces, forming interesting compositions.
6. Over time, the aroma stones will no longer produce pleasant odors, but do not throw them away. To make them smell fragrant again, drop a little essential oil on them again.

Humidifier

An interesting option An air humidifier will become a home air freshener. To make it, prepare a container of approximately 200 ml, water (150 ml), 1-3 drops of vanilla extract and essential oils. You will need lemon and rosemary in a ratio of 15:5. Cooking process:

1. Add vanilla extract and aromatic oils to the water. Mix the entire composition thoroughly.
2. Pour the resulting liquid into a suitable container (bowl or jar), which should be placed on the radiator.

Coffee flavor

An alternative to aromatic perfumes, chalky fragrances or special fresheners can be coffee. This natural perfume is suitable for any apartment or house. There are two ways to create a coffee freshener:

• Fill beautiful boxes, dishes or small vases with fried grains and place them throughout your living space.
• Sew a bag or buy a ready-made one, then pour freshly ground natural coffee into it and tie it with a string. Then hang or place the finished fragrance in a suitable place.

In addition to propylene glycol, glycerin and nicotine, the structure of liquids for electronic cigarettes contains flavorings. These are the ingredients responsible for creating taste. It is not necessary to buy fragrances in the store. How to make a flavor for electronic cigarettes is easy to understand and learn.

What types of flavorings are there?

The classification includes the following types of components:

If speak about taste qualities, we can highlight:

• Tobacco flavorings. These are fillers that imitate real cigarettes and types of tobacco. They have a similar name and are characterized by a tart, bitter taste.
• Fruit and berry. The lightest and most common flavors. The expressiveness of fruit and berry liquids is not for everyone. Citrus and lemon mixtures easily cover others. Because of this, when changing the liquid, you have to change the wick.
• Drinks and baked goods. An exclusive category includes flavors of creams, pies, ice cream, hot and cold drinks. The taste of such liquids is dense, rich and, in most cases, warming. The best option for vaping in the winter season.

Preparing artificial fragrance at home is problematic. To do this, you will need laboratory instruments, equipment and highly specialized chemical mixtures. Natural flavors can be obtained without breaking the bank.

How to make a coffee-flavored aroma?

Before making a flavor for an electronic cigarette, you should prepare 1.5-2 liters of drinking water and natural coffee.
It is better to take milk, which will add tenderness to the taste and make the flavor soft and creamy.

The cooking process begins with preparing water, which is boiled for 2-3 hours. This will help get rid of any excess components. It is better to use distilled water.

IN boiled water Ground coffee is added, after which the composition is poured into a glass jar. The container is left for 12-16 hours in the refrigerator. The resulting infusion is filtered, after which the natural flavor is ready.

We must not forget that natural fragrances are not as rich as artificial ones and are also not as thick.

How are citrus flavors prepared?

The simplest recipe for citrus flavor consists of lemon, orange and vodka. You will need no more than 200 grams of liquid, so a small container will suffice.

Lemon and orange are peeled and filled with vodka. This zest is infused for at least 24 hours. The result is a powerful and bright taste, but non-alcoholic. Vodka practically dissolves in the zest.

It is worth remembering that adding citrus flavors to the liquid base costs a minimal amount. Otherwise, the lemon or orange will cover up any other component. Typically, citrus fruits are mixed from one component.

Should you make alcoholic flavorings?

With the advent of serviceable electronic cigarettes, vapers began to look for ways to create an alcoholic liquid. Such experiments are fraught with risks. There are no pure alcoholic liquids: only aromatics are sold that replicate the taste of rum, whiskey, cocktails and other drinks.

Many people try to replace propylene glycol with ethylene glycol in order to make an unusual flavor for electronic cigarettes with their own hands. This is strictly forbidden. Ethylene glycol is a toxic substance used to prepare technical fluids in cars. Internal use of such a component is fraught with poisoning.

The same applies to natural flavors. High alcohol content will make vaping unbearable and dangerous. In addition, the toxic liquid negatively affects the condition of the vape parts.

Why are artificial flavors better?

Making natural aromas is accessible to everyone, but when vaping, such ingredients will never give an effect similar to artificial ones. A number of factors speak in favor of this:

How to make an artificial frame?

The easiest way to create a safe and thick scent is to blend essential oils. They are easy to find on sale. The essential substance is characterized by a light structure and minimal fat content.

Essential compounds are mixed with plant compounds. So, you can combine apricot oil and essential concentrate: after several days of tincture you will get a soft and delicate base.

There is no need to be afraid of essential oils. It is known that such compositions are used in medicine, and for inhalation, which is in principle similar to the vaping process. The main thing is to first calculate the proportions and correctly distribute the percentage of oils.

You can achieve good evaporation using distilled water, which is added to the ready-made self-mix. A minimal amount of liquid will be needed to prevent the formation of anhydrous glycerin.

Another way is to add spices. Cinnamon sits well in e-mails. True, in order to steam liquid with spice particles, you will need a powerful coil capable of heating and “steaming” foreign components.

In contact with

One of the warmest winter scents. Many people make fragrant “hedgehogs” from oranges or tangerines and cloves. This flavor works great for a week. The version with a can is longer-lasting.

Cut the orange into slices, add a few cinnamon sticks, 8-10 cloves and a few anise stars. The ratio can be changed depending on which scent you like best.

Fill the jar with water. In order for the mixture to release its aroma, it must be heated (an important rule for all flavorings on water based). To do this, you can use a fondue pot, USB drink warmers, teapot stands with candles, or just a radiator.

Cut the lemon into slices or slices and place in a jar. Add 3-4 sprigs of rosemary and a couple of drops of vanilla extract. Fill with water and place in the heater.

Cut the lime into slices, add a couple of sprigs of thyme, a few drops of vanilla extract and mint. Fill everything with water and heat it up.

You can use either mint essence or dry mint for tea. The same goes for thyme: if you don’t have fresh thyme, you can add a pinch of dry thyme.

Cut the orange into slices and place in a jar. Add ginger there: fresh (then it also needs to be cut into slices) or powdered - and fill with water. A few drops of almond essence will complement the aroma. Nuts, unfortunately, do not provide a rich aroma.

Don’t forget to put the finished flavoring in a warm place.

This time you don't need to fill anything with water. Just put fir branches and a few bay leaves in a jar. To make them smell right away, it’s better to break them. Add a couple of whole and a couple of grated nutmegs: their aroma is stronger and more persistent than that of powder.

Rinse and dry small glass jars. Make holes in the center of the lids and cover them with tissue paper: odors will easily pass through it.

Boil a glass of water and dissolve 2-3 bags of gelatin in it. Add a tablespoon of salt and pour a glass cold water. Add 30 drops of your favorite essential oil and a couple of drops of dye. Mix everything thoroughly and pour into jars. Let set (preferably overnight) and place around the house.

7. Baking soda flavoring

Baking soda is very sensitive to odors. It will not only give off the aroma of the essential oil with which it is soaked, but also absorb unpleasant odors.

Cut in the lid glass jar round hole. Cover it with scrapbooking paper and poke a lot of holes in it with a needle. You can also use a thin cotton cloth or go simpler and just pierce the metal lid with an awl in several places.

Fill a clean, dry jar about halfway, add 8-12 drops of essential oil and shake. If the aroma does not seem intense enough, add another 5-10 drops and shake again.

An excellent solution not only for home, but also for the office. Dried flowers not only exude a pleasant, subtle aroma, but also look very aesthetically pleasing inside a glass jar.

Dried flowers and herbs can be bought at pharmacies and stores or dried yourself. If you choose the second route, simply tie a small bouquet with thread and hang it in a sunny and well-ventilated place.

Place the plants in a jar and add a couple of drops of an essential oil that suits the aroma. So, if you have dried roses or rose hips, use rose oil. If you have lavender in your jar, enhance its natural aroma with lavender oil.
