First time making e juice i need help!!!

[papercrow]

I read somewhere about putting clear nail polish over the numbers. Did it last week and it works like a charm!

Since I used all my clear nail polish I like the idea of clear packing tape!

kamasu, I was just thinking... perhaps the calculator is allowing self-calibration of your drops. For example, lets say you are using a dropper that does smaller drops than the average (my blunt tip needles sometimes have much smaller drops than usual) so you can count how many drops per ml and put that number in.

Personally, I would ignore counting drops except for flavorings, and then only if I'm mixing a 5 ml test juice. For nic base, I use a 1 ml syringe for small amounts, and a 5 ml syringe for making 30 ml bottles.

go to walmart pharmacy for 8 cent syringes/ i chatted their ear off yesterday, they were very interested in what i was using them for....not suspicious though, i initiated the conversation by telling them i was making eliquid and they had questions.....the one guy said his brother just started vaping so he picked my brain a little.....fun times...but yea syringes the way to go....need dropper for vg though too thick

Yeah, I like to use syringes too. I was just answering his question (i.e. why his particular calculator had that option).

26mg/ml base...what an odd number

Try to get some 48 mg/ml next time...probably same price and you can quadruple your volume without headaches to end up with 12 mg/ml.

My way:

4ml of 48VG base+4ml PG+2 drops of main flavor+1 drop of secondary flavor+0.5ml of sweetener=roughly 10ml of awesomness of 20 something mg/ml

That must be the ejuicemeup calculator. It's fine to count drops if one knows what their dropper is calibrated to. I don't trust counting when it comes to nic base, especially if I'm using 100 mg nic base. Syringes do a much better job. Just making sure the OP understands that!

Probably meant 36 mg, a typo, maybe?

Size the syringe to your application to limit the amount of draw/fills for a given recipe.
Use a 1ml and 3ml luer syringes with 20g blunt needle for best control of thin material addition such as concentrated flavorings or pure PG.
Use 3ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml luer syringes for PG, VG and Nic base liquid transfer. 14g for VG or quick transfers, 16g and 18g for PG/VG mixes.
