    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    I just use 1.03 for all flavors. We figured it out once and that was really close to most flavors. But the thing is, since we work in percentages, as long as we use the same weight each time, the mix will come out consistent.

    Need a DIY starter kit... suggestions?

    Kits are almost always a bad idea. Some stuff you will use and some stuff you pay for and they collect dust. You don't need a lot of things to get started so just buy what you need as you go along. I strongly recommend mixing by weight ( Mixing By Weight: Basics 101 ) for which you need very...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    For a few of my highly used flavors that don't have dripper caps, I transfer some in to 60ml plastic bottles with yorker caps. I just put in enough for what I'll go through in a few weeks and not for long term storage. It is an extra step but I can free hand the pour so no washing of funnel...

    For those of us that speak English, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    need help with diy juice

    Personally, I would introduce it to the kitchen sink. We are talking about what, $2 tops in materials? But if you want to throw more good money at bad, Cotton Candy increases sweetness and kind of mask flavors a little. Might make it edible.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    I use to do the rubber band thing and reuse but eventually it got messy. Then I China ordered a pile of inexpensive ones and just consider the .8 cents part of the price of doing things.

    I have a friend who I mix for who sqonks and he uses the regular banana that I mix for him with no problem but I wouldn't even try the ripe.

    I'm fairly certain that Ripe Banana would take rust off of chrome rims. That stuff is a mean bunny rabbit.

    From what I can tell, any citrus has the potential to be a tank cracker.

    I spilled a few drops of concentrate on my scale one time and didn't clean it up. It ate a nice little trench in the top of my scale.

    Very new to DIY and need help

    I have rarely if ever heard of a juice made 100%PG. Are you sure that the juice you are trying to mimic isn't 100% VG ? This is more common. It would also account for the lack of vapor and some other things.

    Easy Question

    Keep in cool dark place. Just put it in a light tight box and place it in the coolest part of the house. I keep mine in a Tupperware tub in the basement. VG and PG can last several years but as stated above, no need to stock pile as it should be available post deemings via other markets.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Just knowing that I will never have to wash out another syringe was enough for me! ( BTW, the large readout is one of the main reasons I like the 500g x 0.01g High Precision Digital Scale SF-400D2 Counting w/ USB Wall Adapter scale. ) I have said it a hundred times before and I will say it...

    Yea, but what about the bottle in your hand? Did you add it yet or were about to add it when the phone rang. :p
