I want to mix about 1 part VG and 2 parts PG to make some 24mg out of some 36mg I ordered. When I had previously attempted this I just measured it out in a graduated cylinder and mixed them together.

I was wondering if there was a better way to combine the liquids to make sure it is evenly mixed. This is probably a beginner question for most, but I want to make my next mixture the best it could be and appreciate any help you can give.

I don't know what volume of liquid your talking about, but other than the obvious stirring or shaking, if you have an appropriately-sized pipette you can repeatedly squeeze it while moving it up, down, and around.

P.S. Probably better to add 1 part PG, then 1 part VG, then 1 part PG again on top - so it'll start out sort of self-mixed.

I use a syringe to pull up the various liquids, then pull in some air, put my finger over the needle tip (its a blunt needle) and shake. Then either use that to fill carts or squirt it into a dropper bottle. You can also just pour it from the grad cyl into a dropper bottle and shake that up.

I picked up a blunt (plastic) medication syringe at walmart. It came with a little tiny cup that measures up to 5ml as well.

I pour into the cup to measure, and then suck it into the syringe. I used to shake the syringe with some air in it to mix it, but now I just squeeze it into a bottle making sure there is room to shake, then shake it up!
