Lab Set up?!

[SailCat]

It's not to late for you, StirredStill. Get out, save yourself while you can!

I jest, of course, but you'll find DIY will lure you with the promise of saving you money over buying liquids, then dazzle you with delicious sounding recipes (that actually are so) and myriad flavorings that sound sooo good (and most of which are just that). You'll start with organizing just a few flavors and minimal equipment, then ask a few innocent, well-meaning questions on a forum (oops, it's already taken you this far, eh?) then, in addition to the irresistible e-liquid additions, you'll need a little more storage, then more flavorings and find that making your own liquids adds a facet to vaping that is nearly as pleasurable as that natural human function, the fate of which is not worse than death but the mention of which is disallowed in company as polite as that which is present.

How do I Know all this? I'm in deep and in the process of converting a spare room, the greater part of which will be devoted to crafting my own juice. And whaddaya know, I call it The Lab. I think of it as a 'clean room' because the cat isn't allowed.

Pics to follow; it's nearly done. Making and enjoying one's own e-liquid creations is sublimely rewarding.

Should we also refrain from providing the url with spaces??

If so, sorry. I was the one giving *bad* advise on how to repost the link.

I usually dance over 95% of what I find using that feature, but I did find a cereal, and strawberry cheesecake juice that I enjoyed a lot... Like you said though, 5-star reviews or nothing

I followed a few five star reviews on the below page , my results actually turned out good which is extremely rare for me .

Trying something new with no ratings is chancy but i bet there are some real gems in there yet to be tried.

I'll bet when you started you were just going to use one side of that top cabinet. And now your pots & pans live in the stove!

Pffft. Lab? What lab? I mix in front of the notebook on the dining room table.

This is how I go about it:

True for the first part -- this is how it started:

But, that counter is only 1/4th of my total counter/cabinet space, so my pots and pans are still residing in their cabinet on the other side of the kitchen. What I *did* have to move were the sharp knives; they used to live in that drawer on the end, but had to be relocated.

For the under-cabinets... at first I just used the one at the end, but had to dig a lot of useless crap out so my vape gear could expand. Goodwill loves me.

For the top cabinet, I had to re-position all my various bowls and plasticware, to make room for that carousel o'flavors. Now if my relatives would stop GIVING me crap like that, I'd be fine.

I wouldn't take mine as any kind of example -- I'm completely disorganized, a/k/a a slob. Other people could probably store twice as much with half the mess. I swear, I tidy up that countertop every week, and before the week is out, it's back like that again!

I have 1,3 and 5ml syringes from CanVape and a 50ml turkey baster from Loblaws. Liters of 100mg mic from BC, PG and VG from Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart and glass Boston Amber bottles from Amazon.ca. Also, plastic funnels from the Dollar Store and some plastic 10/30ml bottles also from CanVape.

I use Steam Engine for my juice calculator and take a screen shot of my good recipes to save as images.

My juice tastes great and I don't own a scale (not for juice anyways!), graduated cylinders, anything ultrasonic, etc.

And this is what time does to the best of us...

My lab is literally growing by the day... Pretty sure the people at the liquidation centre are going to report me soon... Must think I have a .... lad... Doesn't help my case that the only syringes they sell have needles on them.... [emoji57]

Ha! Just cut or grind the points off.

 

[StirredStill]

I took a wire cutter to the ends... It was just a little awkward at the cash when I had to ask for them...

Think of it was being none of their business. If they say anything tell them you have sensitive skin & make your own lotions & soaps if you don't want mention vaping. I, personally don't care what they think. Ugly minds will ugly.

 

[AndriaD]

Or, you can buy syringes thru amazon; good prices on multi-packs. Since you already have needles, syringes are really all you need.

Putting a strip of tape over the syringe's markings will greatly extend their usable life....

I like the way you think.
Thank you for this.

Great tip! (no pun intended) I am going to do that right now for a matter of fact!
Thank you!
