Can someone help me with this recipe?

[ChelsB]

I'd like to make 30 ml of 12mg of this but the percentages are so small. I don't have a scale, so I think I need the amounts in drops.
Also, some sites say 35 drops per ml, while another says 20. Which is the case?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide [emoji4]

Have you input it into any eliquid calculator yet? I'd do that first, along with the starting info required for your nic base, your final PG/VG ratio you want, nic mg you want, etc....and see what pops up.

EDIT: I'd think you could come close to what you need of each flavoring if you used a 1mL syringe. It'll let you measure out pretty close to what you need of each flavoring, except for the pear, which I'd do in drops (@20=1mL).

Since everyone uses their own versions of droppers, ie. syringes, dropper bottles, etc. the best thing to do is measure what you use by taking some water and counting the drips. If you have something that has ml written on it, count the numbers of waters drops using your method of measure to see how many drops your dripper is in ml. I never use drops straight from the flavor bottles because of the inconsistencies in sizes.

Also, do you have any syringes? If not, they can be picked up at any place such as Tractor supply in their animal dept. Only a few dollars for most sizes. And of course, from many vendors online.

Try using this calculator. it is free and gives you drops also.

Thanks for all the replies. I used a calculator and it had one of the ingredients listed as .08 another as .23. I have 3 ml syringes and up, so I didn't know how I could get so accurate . I'll try your recommendations[emoji4]

Tractor Supply doesn't carry 1mL syringes, here anyway, but they do carry 3mL, 5mL, and larger.

I input your flavoring % into an eliquid calculator, and this is what popped up for them based on a 30mL recipe being made, and using 20drops = 1mL:

0.5% = .15mL or 3 drops (based on 20 drops=1mL)
0.25% = .075mL or 1.5 drops
0.75% = .225mL or 4.5 drops
1.5% = .45mL or 9 drops
3.5% = 1.05mL or 21 drops

You're the best, JC, thank you a mil!

I know you have pipettes, so I'd just do drops and use them. For the ones that are 1.5 drops and 4.5 drops...I'd try 1 drop instead of 1.5, and 4 drops instead of 4.5 first. Test vape it, and see what you think. If it needs a touch more of each...then just add 1 more drop of each of those.

None of your flavorings are SO strong, that .5 drop difference won't make it horrible or way too strong, IMO.

Ok, will do! I'm mixing now!

50pk at amazon is a good deal and you'll need plenty of them. I buy them by the 100pk

Decent deals on ebay for 100pks

I like this kit better

Not a knock on ones already posted, but this is a more complete kit that includes blunt tip needles and stoppers

FYI - My local pharmacies (Kroger, CVS) would give me 2 or 3 1mL syringes, for the asking. I would have bought them, but they're pretty friendly-folksy around here, and I got the impression they had hundreds of them behind the counter, probably for mixing children's medicine. They weren't luer-lock, but you could press-fit a blunt needle on the end. Good in a pinch.

Ahem. While you're on Amazon...

I didn't realize scales could be had for so cheap!

Drops vary both on the dropper and the substance. For most PG based flavors and droppers I use 40-50 drops per ml (.02-.025 ml each or one drop/ml is 2-2.5%). When I have counted the drops from a pipette slightly angled, their measurement (such as it is) agrees, or sometimes there are even more drops, and that's a blunt dropper. The highest I've heard someone measure them from a bottle was 55 drops/ml . I mostly use drops now, as low as one per 25 ml. Precision over accuracy.
