How to Create Your Own Mushroom Vape Pen?

Creating your mushroom vape pen can be a rewarding and innovative project for enthusiasts of both mycology and vaping technology. By combining natural ingredients with modern vaping equipment, you can produce a unique product that offers a potentially novel experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create your mushroom vape pen:

Materials Needed:

• Dried Mushrooms: Choose edible mushrooms known for their flavor and potential therapeutic properties, such as reishi or lion’s mane.
• Propylene Glycol (PG) or Vegetable Glycerin (VG): These are commonly used as bases for vape liquids to dilute the mushroom extract and create vapor.
• Vape Pen Kit: Purchase a basic vape pen kit that includes a battery, heating element (atomizer), and a tank or cartridge.
• Fine Mesh Strainer or Cheesecloth: To filter out the mushroom particles from the liquid extract for mushroom vape.
• Small Glass Jar: For mixing and steeping the mushroom extract.
• Syringe or Pipette: For accurate measurement and transferring of liquids.

Steps to Create Your Mushroom Vape Pen

Step 1: Prepare the Mushroom Extract

• Grind the Mushrooms: Start by grinding your dried mushrooms into a fine powder using a blender or a coffee grinder.
• Extract the Mushrooms: Place the powdered mushrooms into a small glass jar and cover them with either propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG). Use approximately 1 gram of mushroom powder per 10 milliliters of PG or VG.
• Steep the Mixture: Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks, shaking it gently every day to ensure thorough mixing and extraction.
• Strain the Extract: After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining mushroom particles, leaving you with a clear mushroom-infused liquid.

Step 2: Mix with Vape Liquid Base

Combine with PG/VG: Depending on your preference and the strength of the extract, mix the strained mushroom-infused liquid with additional PG or VG to achieve your desired concentration.

Step 3: Fill the Vape Cartridge

Prepare the Vape Pen: Follow the instructions provided with your vape pen kit to assemble the cartridge and fill it with your mushroom-infused vape liquid.

Step 4: Vape and Enjoy

Start Vaping: Once the cartridge is filled and securely attached to the battery, activate your vape pen according to its instructions and enjoy your homemade mushroom vape.

Safety Considerations:

• Research and Dilution: Ensure you research the mushroom species thoroughly for safety and proper dosage. Always dilute the mushroom extract adequately to avoid adverse effects.
• Quality Control: Use only high-quality, food-grade materials and equipment for extraction and vaping.
