HELP! How many drops

[Pur3Rush]

I have a bunch of lorann oil flavors, and some TFA's. I have 50pg/50pg premixed 24mg juice.

I'm new to diy, but not vaping. I just need to know HOW MANY DROPS.
eg. 10 or 15ml test batch, how many drops? Lets say I use 1 flavor, and I like the juice strong.

All of the calculator's have way too many variables that I'm not using. I'm not using water, alcohol, or diluting the juice. I've already created some juice's and one really good one that I can't duplicate since I didn't follow the suggestion and write down the mix. aargh.

so since it says 5-20%, how many drops. My test batch I had about 5 to 6 drops in a 10ml mix, and it was good. Some of these calcs have you putting 1ml of flavoring into a 10ml juice batch?? Is that right? What in the world am I not getting??

If I could get a link to a calc that just lets me enter the ml of premixed juice and select 1-3 flavors, and tells me ONLY the number of drops to add, that would be a blessing.

Anybody out there with some help would be appreciated. After buying juice for some time, and failing to rescue about 15ml of juice, I don't want to waste anymore.

Use E-Juice Me Up calculator. Make sure you type in the correct inputs. Do you have a syringe that you can use since drops aren't the most accurate for mixing?

The Tod Muller calculator gives measurements in ml or drops. Cool_K is correct though, drops aren't an accurate unit of measure. The size of the aperture, or hole you're dripping out of, influences drop size. Thicker liquids will give a larger drop size than thinner ones. Cooler liquids will also produce a larger drop than warm ones. This is especially true of VG which can be quite thick at 60 degrees, but fairly thin at 90 degrees. A syringe, on the other hand, simply measures volume which elimates these vairiables.

If you want to "wing it", 1 drop per ml often works decently well. Esp. if you're just trying to see what the general taste mgiht be like. Of course, when experimenting, don't use nicotine yet, just straight pg/vg mix.....otherwise you are wsting nic juice.

If you want to use any measurements other than drops, then you need to know how many drops per ml in your dropper. If you have a syringe, measure 1 or 2 ml and put it into the syringe. Count drops and calculate drops per ml. Put the drop number in the calculator and go from there.
My dropper has 38 drops/ml, so I round it off to 40. If you use only a dropper, then that doesn't matter. 19 drops base and 1 drop flavoring equals a 5% mixture. 18 drops base and 2 drops flavoring equals a 10% solution.etc.

You don't need to use water/alcohol if you don't want to. That is an option on the calculators. I use a children's medicine dropper for my nic, pg/vg adds. I still measure most out by drops unless I make a larger batch, then I use pipettes or a syringe.

I felt confused in the beginning too, but once you mix a couple of batches, it gets easier.

There we go. Good solid info on this one. Yeah, I'm winging it for a bit. I just want to test out a lot of the flavors I have in small 5ml batches.
