OK.

I want to make my first batch tonight.

Here is my main issue.

I usually make 5ml testers. At the nic level I want and with the amount I want to make, it requires .25 of flavor.

I have syringes and beakers. I am not sure either is accurate enough.

I still have trouble with the "drop" thing. Do I need to get a dropper and use it for all the ingredients? Does drops literally mean drops from the bottle? Those will not be the same as whatever I use for the other stuff.

I am a person who if you give me a recipe I follow it exactly. This is why I am stuck.

Just add 5 drops of flavor (from the flavor bottle) for 5ml of premixed pg/vg/nic. That will be a good starting point

So here is what I do - I use the Vz super concentrate rule that is 1 Drop per ml right from the Bottle! At 10ml I go 12 Drops right from the Bottle but at this point you can better notch out 2.5% so for Very small mixes the easiest way to mix is the 1 Drop per 1 ml rule and this straight from the Vz Bottle.

5ml tester should get 5 Drops - 6 is fine but 7 too much, 4 is fine but 5 just right!

OB, what flavor are you making and what pg/vg ratio will you be using?

The answer is 1 drop per 10ml is .25% Yes, straight from the VZ flavor bottle.

sturner6 I agree with you on the caramel as it is just wierd, but oddly enough it works well with other flavors. I've mixed it with several things and it adds a nice note, but must be used sparingly. I bet it would work well with the banana you have maybe at a 5 to 1 ratio (banana/caramel). If I get a little time this week I may just play with that mix myself.
I vaped a 10ml bottle of caramel at 2.5% and like it! its deep strong and tobacco=ish at that high level but its the last time I will do that!

I am going to start with the raspberry.

I am using the following.
36 mg nic base
9mg nic target
5 ml total
70 PG
30 VG
2.5% flavor I guess.

Not sure what e-juice calculator your using, is that .25 you are refering to a ml measurment. If so, .25ml in a 5ml batch is 5% and probably too high. Just use the dropper bottle the flavoring came in and add 6 drops to your 5ml.
