My simple take on DIY mixing, with an introduction.

I've seen loads of videos where people don't take even the slightest safety measures when teaching others how to mix. I'm not a crazy experienced mixer like many of you here, but I wanted to make a video that correctly displays how easy it is to mix, and be safe at the same time. As said in the video, you can be even safer than what you'll see, but a vast majority of people starting out aren't going to go out of their way to do so. I wanted to cover the very basic essentials of mixing safely and believe I've done so properly. Keep in mind, everyone has their own opinion on mixing, different juices, calculators, etc. So I'm sure some people may not agree with my video.
It should help the newbies, and I hope it can be found easily on youtube instead of the videos that say "Oh I just use the same syringe for nicotine, just pump is out a bit and put your flavor it."

In a perfect world, I'd recommend and use different syringes for each flavor, I wouldn't ever re-use a bottle, I'd strictly use glass bottles. But I cannot currently do this, and neither can many other people who are short on budget.
I'd like to add, I've been to vape shops that mix in front of you, while this is neat, they literally just grabbed their tubes of nicotine, pg/vg etc, and eye'd it into the bottle. That's the last thing other than the youtube videos to push me into making this one.




Have a good day friends!

I just mixed 45ml (3 x 15ml bottles) I mix each individually using 100mg/ml base. I was sitting there thinking all the videos I see and vape shops eye it up. I get really ocd with my measurements in syringes. I always test at least one for nicotine level to be sure I didn't goof. At small quantities a minor mishap makes a big difference. I am glad I am not nuts for being particular.

I use 1ml syringe for each flavor and ever if they are over a 1ml need I still use it. Each flavor has its own syringe which is a pain but never get an accidental mix. I use one syringe for nicotine and one for pg and vg as these aren't terribly critical to flavor in slightly different mixes.

I vape 45 to 60 ml a week. So I mix one to two times a week. I will not call myself a pro but I'm also not a noob. I was gonna do a quick tutorial but no one wants to see my ugly mug lol.

I wear gloves when handling nicotine because I did have an overdose once by simply handling the lid and the bottle with drops on them. Everything else I do without.

Good video glad to see I'm not alone.
