People always say you can simply pour ingredients into the mix bottle. Theoretically, you can. But there’s no way I can accurately stop pouring vg from a gallon jug. Or nic from a 240 ml Boston. Maybe some people can, but I’m not one of them.

If my flavors are small bottles with dropper tops, I’m accurate enough with those. The pg, vg, flavors in 120 ml bottles, and nic I still need to use some sort of measuring device, whether it’s a syringe or graduated cylinder or whatever. I’m not getting out of washing up, at any rate.

It’s somewhat faster and I usually get good consistency. Otherwise it is no more simple or in any way better that I can see. I think it’s very much down to personal preference. Folks should give it a try, especially if they struggle by volume. But one method is not better than the other.
Ack! Pouring from a gallon bottle of VG to mix a 50ml e-liquid would be nigh on impossible for me too. I use ketchup dispenser bottles for PG and VG, and fill them up when empty from gallon jugs. Nic goes into a 50ml needle tip squeeze bottle for dispensing. These steps make mixing much easier.

I drive with a mod between my legs anytime I get in the car. I haven't dropped it yet but now that I said that... :danger:

Years ago when I was working I was driving the truck and vaping. My buddy made a jocular comment, what if something happens and your airbag goes off. That thing will turn into a vape rocket and blast straight through your brain at 600 miles an hour. Still makes me shiver thinking about it. I wait for quiet traffic moments to vape. Never vape going through traffic light junctions. And if I'm just holding the vape I hold it to the side so it would shoot past me rather than through me.

The first PG and VG I ever got were in liter bottles. I still have those bottles. I fill them from the gallon jugs. That way when I'm mixing base I only have to pour from the liter bottles into the big measuring cylinder.

Me too. Those Essential Depot liter bottles are what I use to break down gallons of PG and VG. I use another to mix a nice big batch of unflavored base. I find it's pretty easy to pour directly from those liters into 120ml bottles I use for filling smaller ones.

I'm still looking around for sales on vape hardware that I like and use. That's usually Pico 75W and the like. I have ordered several more Pico 75W mods and about to order 3 or 4 more just in case.

I'm hoping that the Dems don't get their way and lock down hardware sales. Trump seems to realize that vaping is a cure for smoking, but Dems seem to be adamant about vetoing anything with his stamp of approval on it. I get the flavor bans to keep kids from purchasing, but placing a federal 21 age lower limit on sales would be a better control measure.

Their flavors are pretty strong. You could cut it with some vg, add nic if desired and stretch it even further. Just an idea.
So I picked up dinner lady cornflake tart, blackberry crumble, apple pie, berry tart, and strawberry custard. Most in 6 mg so I can cut it to 3 mg with vg per your suggestion. One is 0 nic so I can add my vg nic. I also picked up the one lemon crumble from beard vape. Coupon code steal 5% worked. Saved me a whopping 59 cents. Thanks for letting us know. Been wanting to try dinner lady for quite some time.

I just ordered two more Pico 75W mods from VaporL. I tried to order three, but at checkout they only allowed 2. Silver is the only color in stock and apparently I got the last two. Lucky me!

Out of curiosity, how much were they (if you don't mind me asking)?
Just checked and they aren't showing a price since they're out of stock.

I ended up with 3 of the lemon crumble, to spread the shipping cost out. I've been enjoying The One Apple Cinnamon, blended with another apple eliquid that I have.

I ended up switching my FT order of the Armour Pro silicone covers to 3, to catch a discount. I'm confident I can find a home for the third one if I end up wanting to keep only 2.

I too use an old liter bottle for breaking down my gallon jugs.
Me three! I picked up a half dozen from Heartland for not much more than a buck each and got both caps and yorker spouts... Don't ask me why I got that many, I have no clue... I only need 3, one for PG, 1 for VG, and 1 for the final product, but I already had some old ones from times that I bought 1 liter bottles of PG. I think I was afraid the yorker caps might not fit those bottles.
