Some day we are going to look back and say "Hey, remember when we used to have to draw vg up in a syringe and wash them after every flavor. Boy what a hassle, what were we thinking."
Awesome! Throw away pipettes will be a nice mixing accessory. Cut the tip down on using VG.
Put my VG and PG in condiment containers and everything else in dropper bottles. Zero clean up.
That was the Goal to Me.
I Didn't Care if it took Longer (which it Doesn't), or if it was Harder to do (I find it Easier acually), as long as I Didn't have a Bunch of Labware to Wash/Dry afterwards.
I am using the E juice me up calculator. Is there anyway to convert that to weight measurements. I have a high quality food scale that I never use and would love to give this a try!
The ejuice me up calculator already gives you grams. Just punch in your info on the left and on the right it will give you the recipe in mls, drops and grams. You use the grams for weighing. You have to go to tools and grams set and set the weights. I read somewhere that pg was approx 1.038g, VG 1.26 G and flavouring varied but most use 1g. Not sure of the nicotine. Mine is 50/50 so I might have to weigh it first as well. I use the .................... calculator.

Calculator advice given above.
Your scale should really go to .01 to be percise enough for mixing juice. Some food scales do some don't. If not a decent scale can be had for ~$25 and a cheap pocket type that will still work can be found of <$10 on E-bay
I use 1.06g for nic, 1.08g for pg, and 1.27g for vg. I have the flavor set at 1.03. Any adjustments I make in the recipe I make by adjusting the %'s.
I also use the ejuice me up calc.

The only thing with the ejuicemeup when setting your mixes to grams from mls is you have to save the new grams page as default and redo all your mixes into the new grams default. It wont automatically save your grams setting into your old mixes.
This might help:
Weight of PG: 1.038 grams per ml
Weight of VG: 1.26 grams per ml
Weight of Pure Nicotine: 1.01 grams per ml
Weight of 100mg in PG: 1.0352 grams per ml
Weight of 100mg in VG: 1.235 grams per ml
48mg 50VG/50PG based nicotine solution 1.14 grams per ml.
Flavors range of .93g per ml to 1.07g per ml.
I have the 48nic weight since I cut my 100 into 48 for my own convenience. I run all my flavorings at 1 gram per ml
The full list that I have for reference:
- Weight of PG: 1.038 grams per ml
- Weight of VG: 1.26 grams per ml
- Weight of Pure Nicotine: 1.01 grams per ml
- Weight of 100mg in PG: 1.035 grams per ml
- Weight of 60mg in PG: 1.03632 grams per ml
- Weight of 50mg in PG: 1.0366 grams per ml
- Weight of 48mg in PG: 1.036656 grams per ml
- Weight of 36mg in PG: 1.036992 grams per ml
- Weight of 24mg in PG: 1.037328 grams per ml
- Weight of 100mg in VG: 1.235 grams per ml
- Weight of 60mg in VG: 1.245 grams per ml
- Weight of 50mg in VG: 1.2475 grams per ml
- Weight of 48mg in VG: 1.248 grams per ml
- Weight of 36mg in VG: 1.251 grams per ml
- Weight of 24mg in VG: 1.254 grams per ml
JuiceCalculator is a great calc for weight mixing, as it's already set up for it out of the box. You'll never need to enter a sg for anything, unless you want to use exact sg for flavorings (it defaults to 1 g = 1 ml for flavors). You can also set a default for all flavorings, such as 1.03. If you follow a lot of other people's recipes, or post a lot of recipes, I'd highly recommend using 1=1 for flavorings.
In recipes, it shows amounts in %, drops, grams, and mls.
You can import all your old recipes from EJuiceMeUp.

It's easy to caluclate your nicbase weight yourself also, e.g. my currently used isn't in the "standard charts", so to calculate a 72mg/ml nicbase in VG with 20% added water(nicobrand standard base):
In 100ml we have 7.2ml nic and 20ml water and rest(72.8ml) VG, so...
Nic: (7.2 * 1.01) = 7.272
VG: (72.8 * 1.26) = 91.728
Water (20*1) = 20
(7.272 + 91.728 + 20) / 100 = 1.19 g/ml
Normally we don't really need to factor in added water as usually only 5 or maybe max 10%, but with my now used base with pretty much water I decided to factor it in...

OK guys and Gals, I'm sold....one more piece of vape gear (scale) will be ok I guess.
I must admit I always saw the logic in this method, just was reluctant to change.

I agree, I use a digital powder scale and accurate to 1/10th of a grain. Not the greatest but it gets the job done. I've had this scale for well over 10 years, long before I started vaping but it still works great. All you do is calibrate with the 30 and 50 gram weight to set up and you're good to go. It also has a 'zero cleaning' button to bring it back to zero quick (quicker than the calibration process). I "zero" with with either a 50ML beaker or a 100ML flask. After the batch is made, it sits on top of a magnetic stirrer for about 12-24 hours. I had first started mixing by volume but once I got into mixing by weight I'll never go back. I did a video on this if any is interested:
