Could some of you folks give me an idea of how many drops per ml you are using on your ejuice me up calculator? I am assuming between 20 and 30. I would be using pippet drops.

I use 36 because more than one of my different droppers are in that range. If I need to make a new recipe and it's critical for exact measurements I use a glass one mil pipette with a pump.
From what I have read the easiest way to get the most precise measurment is using a syringe with a blunt tip needle. The only thing that you really need to take into consideration is that VG is thicker than most anything else you are going to be using in your mix and you should get a larger gauge needle to compensate, say a 14 gauge instead of a 16 or 18.
A syringe is very difficult to use as a dropper. There's a knack for using pressure on the plunger to get a consistent drop each time.
I've measured the volumes of my standard 30ml juice bottles---both the standard plastic with snap-on dropper tops or the glass Boston bottles that have a screw-on dropper---and they all test out at 20 drops per ml. Sometimes I also use the smaller screw-on dropper from a one-dram (3.7ml) glass bottle, and it's about 36 drops per ml.
Ya'll are making this a lot more complicated than necessary.
Fill a 1ml syringe with your joose component from the original dripper container, one drop at a time (PG/VG/Flav/nic)
Note the number of drops per ml for that container and label the container with a perm marker
For smaller (5 - 30ml) mixes, I use only syringes (no needles needed). Any mix above that volume, graduated cylinders fer moi.
The pumps are from One Stop DIY Pipette Pump - One Stop DIY Shop Store
and the glass pipettes you can get on eBay or plastic here Polystyrene Pipette - One Stop DIY Shop Store
These are for when you need to be super accurate. You can use syringes but they aren't consistent enough IMHO.

Point one ml works fer me, as with a 1ml syringe. Anything less, I'll go to da drops as I mentioned above.
Oh, BTW, I hate pipettes!
Yeah, it is an acquired taste using them. They can be very clumsy to use. It's only worth the bother when you need to be exact.

Snip the top off a 1ml disposable pipette just below the bulb. Fits perfectly tight on the end of a 1 ml syringe. Precise measurements that don't require looking at the pipette markings (which are usually in the bottle) and syringe markings that you can see because they're out of the bottle. A 100 unit (1ml) insulin syringe with the needle removed is graduated in 0.02ml, but I've also got a few that have 0.01ml markings. Easy to clean the pipette, too.
My poor man's pipette pump.
