http://www.ecigexpress.com/ejuice-calculator.php Wow then drops are not accurate. This is what this calculator states. All drops are not equal.
EDit: you will have to put in your measures. I thought it would transfer but apparently not. :) I am using the syringe method from now on.

Sd, you may have forgotten to change the drops per ml in that calculator? Maybe left it at the default of 20 drops per ml?

I just saw linnx say that he is going to get most of the 140 tobacco flavors available from China. That will keep the bacco lovers busy for awhile lol
That will keep me too busy. LOL Oh another thing is never trust those droppers. I just had 5ml of liquid pop out of a bottle. It decided it did not like how I squeezed it. I am going to transfer to glass bottles from now on. The samples I am making I am putting in plastic but I hate the tips...argggg. I am going to buy more vials as well to store the flavoring.

It all depends how big your dropper is as well. I have a assortment of droppers. Some of them are big drops. :) It is easier to just use % in a syringe.

I was only referring to the concentrate bottles themselves. That's the only case where I try to cheat by using drops. With the VZ flavoring bottles, 2 or 3 folks went through the trouble of more or less calibrating the bottles by dripping from them and measuring the number of drops from the flavoring bottle to make up 1ml. It turned out to be about 47, give or take one or two drops. The lazy among us have been using this as close enough for government work when only mixing small batches.

True, it would seem that the drop sizes would differ depending on how hard the bottle was squeezed. Probably still pretty close for making small batches though.

I know :( I do wish that linnx offered his flavors in glass. I would even pay a bit more for them. It is a PITA to transfer them IMO

Oh, I say we elect LM to do the test:) but yes it also depend on hard hard one will squeeze the bottle to get a full drop.

Flavour Art RY4 = holding 10ml Flavour Art RY4 RY4 bottle straight down over Borosilicate glass 5ml cylinder for me it was 30 drops to 1 ml .
This flavoring is clear i like to add unlike the the Oryental Flavour Art RY4 and the Tobacco Express RY4.

Yes, but don't you have to use more of the FA than the TE?

I like clear flavors too but if I am going to use the darker with the carto clogging caramel coloring, I would rather use a more concentrated so that I could use less.

ETA- FA is also pretty concentrated so maybe you don't have to use much more.

LOL, I'm not even in the 'lazy among us category'. I,ve taken it to a new level. Every single drop for every flavor I use from here on out will be referred to (by me & for me) as 0.5%. But when posting amounts used on the forums, I will post the number of drops used in 5ml test to get the flavor the way I like it. Its just easier/faster for me, and I'm easy, so its all good.
