is it really that simple to make it?

Any graduated cylinder/pipette etc. is less accurate than weight based measurement. My scale goes to .01 grams. That is 1/3 of an average drop.

I have one, too. My problem is I usually make so much juice at a time, it runs over the top limit.

Some people just use the Scale to Measure the Flavoring/Sweetener.

And then Use a Lower Accuracy Technique such as a Graduated Cylinder to Measure their Nicotine Base, PG, VG, or "Premix"

Don't Really need +/- .01 gram Accuracy when diluting Nicotine Base down to Vapable Levels. Or when you Measure Out 100ml of "Premix".

Can't really do DIY without Looking the Part. And Nothing Screams chemistry like a Erlenmeyer Flask.

LOL

Lol, in my state, merely owning an Erlenmeyer flask requires permission from the cops. I am stuck with miserable beakers :) That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but then, law usually doesn't. They think they're combating .... cookers, but that flask isn't what they use; the .... guys are using the triple-necked one with the ground glass connectors. Naturally, the legislature doesn't know this, so they just banned all of them :)

So you have been drawing and measuring your VG up through a pippette? Hmmmmm. If you are doing that then I would think splitting the batch in half and using your current scale would still be a lot easier than trying to lung hit VG.

Get yourself a scale that goes high enough. I'm liking this one a lot and it has a 500g top out, no cut off and a cord. 500g x 0 01g High Precision Digital Scale SF 400D2 Counting w USB Wall Adapter | eBay

That being said, I've done it the weigh flavors measure VG/pv way before I had a bigger scale.

No, the VG and PG are in large enough quantities I can use a graduated cylinder. I only use the pipettes for nic juice and flavors. I do have some 25ml pipettes, but it's a pain for the PG for sure.

Whenever I hear stuff like this, I kinda Smile and think Back to a this Steely Dan song...



"Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in Jail.
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get-them-All-Out-a-Here!
Is there gas in the car?
Yes, There's Gas in the Car!
I think the people down the hall
Know who you are."


LOL
