why couldn't you just put that in message 17 ? huh...those are the type of answers i was looking for

Because that's not the answer. Real world example right here, right now. Because, I just tested it for you with my measuring equipment. One bottle of one thing dripped at 20 drops per ml. The other bottle dripped at 30 drops per ml. This is all that people were trying to tell you, but you wouldn't listen. Nobody can tell you that number because nobody knows what your dripper is going to do.

denali_41, you are the the most unappreciative and combative person in all my time here . People are trying to help you . You get surly. May I ask why? Apparently , you don't want to do any work here . Wow.

Drops are not a universal measure .Drops in a ML of any liquid is dependant on liquid viscosity and the size of the dropper You use . If you are not willing to count 1ml of "drops", no one ,repeat NO ONE can give you an accurate answer . You should stick to pre-made juice . Now go ahead and attack me too. I can handle it.

OK, that was a fun read. LOL. now, on topic. OP, the bottom line is every dropper used by flavor makers is different. in being different each drop from bottle to bottle is not the same. one maker may use a 20 drop per ml and another may use a 10 drop per ml. there is no standard when it comes to the drip size. people on here are correct in telling you to make small batches because while not exactly like cooking/baking it is similar. you cant just double a recipe and expect it to come out just like the original. sometimes everything does work out just fine by just doubling or tripling or whatever but other times it doesnt. get yourself a graduated cylinder and do it the right way. you can find them just about anywhere including your local restaurant supply store you might even find them somewhere like "bed bath and beyond" in the cooking supply isle. the fact is, say you make 30ml with 20 drops of flavoring, if you move up to 300 ml of juice 2000 drops may make it to strong. then you are playing the "lets thin it out" game. gues what happens then? you add PG or VG and now the flavor is to weak, SO you add more flavoring and again its to strong. its a vicious circle. posters here are just trying to help you out and save you from the headache that can come with DIY mixing. now, another option is, if the flavoring maker makes the exact juice you want to make, you can email them and ask how many drops from there dropper would they use to make the size batch you want to make. i hope this makes sense and helps you out a little.

I'm waiting for the OP to come back and blame all of y'all for their juice being ruined because he used 10 drops per ml as gospel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL Well, to give him some credit, 10 drops per ml is most likely going to be on the low side. In reality, he's probably going to have to add more. Thing is, he wont know how much more to add at that volume. I just don't understand why someone would make one juice in so much volume, unless they're selling it and don't want to keep mixing the same stuff one after another. As for myself, I only mix 3 to 5ml's at a time. I mix for usage. At that small of an amount, the flavor gets mixed throughout pretty quickly. Sure, I have to do it every couple of days, but it only takes a few minutes.

I mix up large-ish batches of my favorite (60 ml). I have small kids and I keep the nicotine base locked up, so it's kind of a hassle to get it out every other day and wash all the measuring syringes and stuff.

Of course, I have a recipe that I tested at smaller volumes first and scaled up to 60 ml with some tweaking.

^^ So, you mix a month's worth of juice at one time. You know what your doing too, that makes a difference. It's kind of hard to make one batch worth at least three months when you don't have measuring equipment, or even know how much concentration of flavor is going to taste good.

Yep! Measuring equipment is fairly essential, lol. I hate to waste nicotine, so if I messed up 200 mls I would be pretty upset with myself.

Jeeeze, I'm feeling a bit odd here. Sunday I mixed 570ml and I expect it to last about 2 weeks until I have to mix again. Only 45ml of it was experiements in the final stages which is about my average weekly consumption. (The rest goes to cousins, siblings, an offspring, and a friend.)

I cannot even imagine sitting down and kicking out less than 90ml...
