Guess im Confused I tried to calculate for a 5ml bottle for my first juice I got no where near the 5ml bottle size? What did I do wrong. I calculated for 5 ml but still came out way short of it...

Do you mean there is enough head space in the bottle to allow shaking to actually mix things? (If so, this would be very normal.)

Normally a bottle advertised as 5ml is 7 ml. A bottle advertised as 10ml is 12ml. Not sure why they are like this. I just usually measure using water and a syringe when i order new bottles to find out what ml they actually hold then base my recipe off that (ie the higher - like 7 instead of 5).

Yep, I got a 10 ml graduated cylinder and its right on the mark but when transferred to the bottle theres at least 2 ml of space. You want that in there anyway so you can shake it well.

Are you using a syringe or counting drops? Drops sizes vary greatly from liquid to liquid. If you are counting drops and using the default 20 drops per ml, your final mixture will be way off the desired amount.
