Making eliquid from scratch

[monty]

Anybody got hints about making eliquid starting with your own fruit? Is there a problem with sugar? Or will the fruit ferment and will apple end up as cider?

Don't really know TBH, made my own jam years ago & the only thing stopping going off or starting to ferment was the boiling of the fruit then keeping it in an airtight container.

All natural products, grain & fruit pick up natural wild yeast spores as they grow so they are inherent in whatever you'd be using. Think the only way to stop any fermentation taking place besides heat treatment to kill off the spores, would be add a stabiliser same as is used in any alcohol brewing, but I still wouldn't have any idea on how you would stop it going off, think you would still need some kind of preservative sorry

Interesting to try, but it sounds tricky. I'd avoid putting it in a plastic clearo. You may need to reduce the fruit juice. I don't know whether fermentation matters - a little alcohol in the juice is fine. Try it and see I guess. You could stop it by killing the yeast with potasium sorbate and metasulfite but god knows whether they are safe to vape.
