Since I only vape 6 mg., I only get 24-36 mg. VG base. I'm so lazy, I don't glove up, I mix my syringes sometimes and I just wipe any spills with a towel. I do all of this on the bathroom sink, then all the DIY supplies go back into the big box. I know you have cats Roonies, but just gather up your supplies for a batch and lock yourself in the bathroom. Then put it all away for next time.
Oh and BEFORE I do all of this, I figure out the exact recipe on my juice calculator. That way I know which supplies to get out and exactly how much to put in the bottle (I mix directly into the bottle, no need for beakers and stirrers and all that jazz.) I get my plastic syringes from Walgreens (the pharmacist hands them to me free.) I use a 1 ml, a 5 ml. and a 10 ml. syringe. I just eyeball as closely to the tenth ml. on the syringe - I don't mess with drops and stuff, lol. Works for me! Keep it simple (unless you WANT to be an alchemist!)
