Hey everyone, I have been doing some reading on the DIY site here and decided that I should give it a go. I bought everything I need to get started:
- 10ml LDPE Cylinder Bottles and caps x45
- 5ml LDPE bottles x10
- 3ml LDPE bottles x10
- 50ml Low Beaker x3
- Glass Mixing Rods x3
- 50mm Funnel x3
- 10ml Measuring Cylinder x3
- 10cc Luer Syringe x5
- 14ga 1 1/2" blunt tip needles x5
- 60ml of 100mg flavorless VG based Nicotine
- 32oz VG
- 32oz PG
- Assorted flavorings from FA
I have a few questions regarding my first 3ml test batch. I am using EJuiceMeUp application to make a recipe and I told it to do exactly 5ml bottle. Attached is my ecard for my recipe if you all use EJMU.
1) I bought 10 3ml bottles, but they all seem to actually hold 6ml...what gives? Why are they holding twice what was stated? Maybe they just gave me the wrong ones? I also got 5ml bottles and those seem to hold about 5ml.
2) I used ejuice Me Up to make a custom recipe called Strawberry BubbleGum and with 6mg nicotine strength, for 5ml, but when I made it it barely filled up 3ml...where did the rest go? I used a beaker to mix, but i sucked up all the juice that I could....
3) Even though I told it 5ml, it was less, so I repeated the recipe into the same bottle and filled it up....when I went to vape it it is very strong in terms of nicotine feeling....why would that be?
4) It is so tedious to count drop by drop, how do you guys/gals make your liquid without spending all day making one bottle?? I tried measuring by mL but recipies are calling for like 1.3mL, so that is close to impossible to measure in a syringe...
5) Do you mix in a beaker before hand or do you just straight fill into bottles directly?
6) I read that fruity juices don't need a long steeping time, how long do you all steep your fruity flavors for?
Thanks for any feedback you can all provide. I do appreciate it!
