I was planning on purchasing a micropipette for mixing/experimenting with flavors but I'm glad I waited for my DIY Kit from DIYflavorsack to arrive.

Upon looking at the contents, I noticed a tiny scoop. I though it would make a great testing cup for liquids. It can hold enough liquid for a tastetest and a vapetest. mix the liquids, dab your pinky finger and taste it. Like the taste, dump the rest in your atty for a vapetest. Dont like it, at least you only wasted a few drops worth of liquid.

What you are seeing below is a tiny scoop that came with the kit. It can hold four drops from the 3ml dropper bottle next to it.

Pardon the pic quality. I only have a cellphone cam :(

What you are seeing below is the content of the scoop drawn in a disposable micropipette tip(I had to trim the base) mounted on the 1mL syringe that came with the kit. I'm guessing the pipette tip can hold 100µL when full. It took 14 drops to fill the scoop to the rim. doing just 10 drops good for mixing by drop ratio. Just take good notes to keep track on how many drops and you'll be saving a lot of liquid.

i got one of those with my menthol crystal order. didn't really think about using it for testing juice, which is a cool idea... but i seem to have issues with being able to change flavors easily or something... i use about 2-3 ml to really get to know a flavor anyways...

but this idea is Great for when you're doing something crazy like putting cola flavoring with.... anything else while trying to not end up with cough syrup flavoring. haha
