How much do you make in advance?

You mean you made it yourself from the raw ingredients or dilute from a 10% base?
I never mix more than 25ml flavor mix at once. I like doing it and don't see the need of having more than that amount of 1 flavor.
I have 3 ADV which I make up 60ml at a time. These last about 2 weeks. Smaller batch's of 15ml of mixes I don't vape daily. I have not ran out in quite a long time of any mix really.
PG/VG/nic pre mixed to 17mg/ml. I didn't "make the nic" if that's what you are asking. I make a base so I can add flavor simply on demand.
Usually only 10ml now. If I vape that, mix it again and vape that, then I'll make a 30ml bottle. I was also making juice for my son, and there were a couple of them he liked, so I mixed up 120ml bottles for him. Then he didn't like them so much anymore, so there they sit.
Good plan. I have only made one batch of 30 ml after trying a small batch of a mix I thought I really liked. Same story. Never finished it. Vaping two ten ml batches completely is a good rule to live by before going larger. Tooooo many times I started out liking something and never went back to it.
I recently made a 120mL batch of my ADV (RY4 with AP). My previous 30mL batches never made it past a two week steep before being consumed. All others are 15mL or less.
I make 300 ml of base liquid - that lasts my wife and i about 2 months - maybe more. From that we each flavour it differently. It's at 18 mg and then less after adding whatever she/i like.
It's a system that works well, avoids wasting my time and we both get what we like at the end of it.

If it is an ADV I make 50ml, if I am on the fence on the flavor 30, experiments are 15ml but I have some 5ml bottles coming in from a co-op so that will be my test size from now on.
A few guys from work buy my juice since I sell it to them $5.00/30ml, it costs me half that so I have been lucky enough to basically vape for free with the exception of a few flavors I have not been able to duplicate.
I found that for some reason if I make a 236ml bottle (flavored) something gets lost, even after a good steeping, so I guess I will stick to 50ml.

I'm new to DIY, but I have a few I use as ADVs. I've been making 3 or 4 10ml bottles of stuff I know I like, and if I'm not in a hurry, I'll make a few 6ml sample bottles of a new recipe or a tweak of one of the regulars.
THAT! I'm vaping my way through a 30 ml bottle of pralines and cream at the moment and it's good, just not my favorite. But I'm bound and determined to vape up over 100 ml of juices before making anything else. I'm going to start limiting my larger mixes to just a couple of my favorites and these change of pace vapes to 10 ml at a time.
I like to have at least about 200ml of DIY juice and another 200ml of pre-mixed around. Since nearly all of it is Tobacco related, I just want to be sure they are well steeped by the time I need them, plus an extra 2 weeks supply to account for vapemail etc.
As long as I have all the supplies, I mix up 480 ml base at a time (500 ml bottle with a little breathing room). I mix up 60 ml of my ADV at a time. Others I just add a little flavoring to my base when I'm in the mood to experiment.
I am new to DIY and keep it small and simple. I buy the premix base. I first make a 5 ml bottle of a new flavor,if I like it,will make a 15ml bottle. I don't have a ADV,but so far I like the USA blend,black licorice,red hots,555. I have to keep this in quantity. I tweak the other flavors,as I vape on,trying to make the perfect vape, of that flavor
Ah, I get it. But you do know that, depending on the amount of flavor you're adding, your nic density isn't consistent that way?
I mix about 300ml of base at 60/40/8mg. My favorite ADV is mixed in 60ml batches and my secondary ADV is mixed in 30ml batches. There's always a full bottle of each steeping since they're both tobacco flavors. I mix a "confection" flavor at 30ml and only have one bottle of each flavor I like since they, generally, don't need steeping. I test mix at 5ml batches (left over flavor bottles from WL), enough for dripping and if I like it, to try in a T3, CE3 or whatever for a longer term test.
I use the Same PG to VG ratio and like to use the Same Nicotine Level for all my Flavored e-Liquids. I also find that the Totally Percentage of Flavoring and Sweetener is right around 15% when I Mix a Recipe.
So I make "Pre-Mix" which is Unflavored Nicotine Base at 15% Less PG than the Final Flavored e-Liquid. And 15% More Nicotine than the Final Flavored e-Liquid.
So that when I Add my Flavorings/Sweeteners, via Drops, that the PG Ratio goes Up. And the Nicotine goes Down. And it all End Up around what I want to Vape.
I say around because One Flavor maybe .3 mg More than my Desired Target. And another maybe .2 mg Less. I don't really Care though. I can't tell the Difference in Nicotine in such Small Deviations anyway.
Exactly. My mixes are simple, I know I will lose 8-12% nic. I plan for it, and less than 1mg/ml difference means nothing to me.
At first, I made my base with the right percentages to account for 20% flavoring in PG base. But, I found I rarely go over 10%. So, that's what I allow for now.
It's a good medium level. So a little more or less flavoring still leaves me in the general area of nic and PG/VG percentages I want.
