1ml of 60mg/ml pg60 nic base, about 0.3ml of a given flavoring, 4 drops of bb, and a couple of ml of distilled water were used each time, total liquid volume was 3.8 - 4ml each time, after mixing and before adding acid.
I'm pretty comfortable that I had an accurate volume of the nic base; as 10 ml of it weighed 10.4g, I added 1.04g to the empty, clean, dry, cylinder, and did an eyeball. The small scale has a nominal accuracy of .02g, I find it simpler to weigh things as I add drops than to keep trying to eyeball the meniscus.
The variability in total volume prior to adding acid, which was due to variance in the quantity of distilled water, should be acceptable, as I weighed the solution prior to adding the acid, and then again at the end. I converted the acid weight to ml based on the acid density, determined by having weighed 10ml of it.
Hopefully this represents an acceptable adjustment to using the kit. It helps minimize the eyeball estimate error in reading the meniscus by reading the meniscus on 10ml volumes rather than on smaller amounts.
I did checks on just the pg nic base, no flavorings, just distilled water added, at the start and near the end of the series, to seek consistency on when I would call the change in color complete. Ideal case would be that I would also do multiple checks on each flavor; I only did that on the strawberry, a second test, results came out close enough.
The bavarian cream, the one that seemed to be neutral, was done in the middle of the set of flavors. I had no a priori expectation on whether it would be neutral vs acidic, and since to the best of my knowledge I called the color change no differently than for the flavorings that seemed to be acidic, it gives me a degree of comfort that the ones I tested as acidic probably really are.
I'd like to see if others try things and get the same, or different, results. The final change point is subjective, others may well have better color discrimination than me.
