Agreed the actual time saved isn't much, just like with using scales the cleanup doesn't take that much time, but still imho just makes for a much more enjoyable and effortless mixing session. No matter how you mix, big or small, many or few recipes, then you continually have to weigh/measure out the PG, VG and nic before/after coming to the actual flavoring stage, and it's here this approach makes you cut corners and advance directly towards the flavoring stage and simply top-off the bottle, or weigh/measure the premix and add it, instead of needing fine-tuning 3 ingredients in total "extra". When I mix flavored liquids to my 2 vaping relatives, then I weigh and add the flavors and simply top-off the bottle with the premixed base I have in the fridge in a liter bottle already, and which also is my personal ADV all by itself which I just top-off my 100ml dripper "vape" bottle with, continually also.
It's definitely not precise, agreed, but precision isn't needed imho for this part of the process in my specific circumstances, as I only make recipes with max 6% total flavoring and varying from 2-6% in total, and if I was using e.g. between 2% and 30% flavoring, then I probably wouldn't do it this way I must admit. Well scratch that, I probably would still, as it's still just a small/acceptable deviation from the end-result and still pretty much un-noticable blindly or just extremely mildly and neglible, as it's flavoring that's the important part and not PG/VG/nic ratio/amount in small skews imho.
Just like with VG, then some vendors product is much more watery and thin than others and which also would "skew" the result slightly. Additionally then different nic vendors are often varying in the exact nic content also, and many vendors also add varying amounts of DW to VG-nic(from 3 to 15'ish percent!), which again "skews".
