I don't use beakers except every now and then, for plain PG and plain VG when I'm doing a batch of eliquid larger than 120mL. Anything 120mL or smaller...I've got marked bottles so I just squirt in the PG and VG to certain marks on the bottles. I never measure my nic base nor my flavorings with them.



I agree...it wouldn't be good at all, especially for those who vape lower finished nic mg. An extra mL or so of 100mg nic base could knock their socks off (give them a not so good buzz and then probably a headache, too).



IIRC, I even marked the outside of the box that my 300 little bottles are in, with decent sized red marker letters, so I wouldn't even have to open the box to see what's in it. Still nowhere to be found. :facepalm:
Mine is marked in black, but, it should stand out like an elephant in my closet!! I may have to get the hubs to check the attic. He was putting a bunch of stuff up around the same time. I have a feeling though it’s going to be like looking for my readers only to find them on top of my head :lol:.In plain site

Care to guess how many times I've gone frantic trying to find my bifocals? Only to find them resting on my nose where they belong. I think sometimes I put them on just so I can see to look for them.:oops:

I use syringes as cylinders to measure. Depending on what I am measuring is what determines whether I use a needle or cap off the syringe. I order only medical syringes so I know they are accurate. I mean, they would not be putting more or less into people would they?

:)

I use syringes as a cylinder to measure flavoring sometimes. Just take the plunger out and put my finger over the end of the needle. Sometimes flavoring comes in tall narrow bottles where the syringe can't reach the bottom, so you have to pour the last few mls out. And sometimes flavoring comes in bottles with a plastic dripping nozzle on top so you can't put a syringe into it at all without removing the nozzle. I used to take the nozzle off until one time I lost my grip on a bottle doing that and sprayed flavoring across the room. Now I just squirt it into a syringe.

I only vape one flavor at a very low percent and never make less than 200 ml in a batch about once a month. I use graduated glass cylinders, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 ml. I enjoy the ritual. The only one I never use is the 10 ml.

I still use a 500mg digital scale once a month to six weeks. PG/VG goes on with condiment bottles. Nic from a pipette, and flavors from the bottle they come in. It all goes in a glass bottle followed by a stir with a milk frother.

I use syringes to fill Kayfun v2 through the filler hole if the juice is still in glass dropper bottles.

Someone just started rolling his/her own coils in here, the picture of your setup thread or the Shinyitis thread.

Thanks, Mowgli. Been trying to get the Beserker setup all day, It has been a few years since I did the rebuilding thing, I can't seem to get it to stop flooding. I am sure I am doing something wrong so I will watch the tuturial.
The trick is to bottom fill it, once I did that no more flooding :) Put something to block the top hole and it works great :)

One of the reviews I watched, said that they only screw the top on just enough to latch, then turned it upside down to completely tighten the top, to get it not to leak with top filling.

Found it!

PS...I've read that you need to rinse and dry out an atty if it leaks, otherwise it continues to leak, even if everything is done correctly. Something about liquid attracts liquid and it'll find the hole again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :)

Wow, sounds exactly like the advice for the N2.

Well I am cleaning up and storing my Kayfuns for now, I seem to like this Berserker now :) I ordered a couple large ones in rainbow too. I may just store the clone incase I need parts LOL

UH HUH! :D

Now you see why I've been talking about them so much since January...encouraging others to at least give them a try. :thumbs:

I never had any leaking with topfilling, the dozen or so times I did it at first. But there was always gurgling and some flooding. Tried the method mentioned above, but still had the gurgling for the first 5-6 draws at least and still some flooding.

Switched then to bottomfilling, and have not had any leaking, nor gurgling, nor flooding at all...since the end of January.
