Hi folks. I'm just getting into some DIY and have been doing some research. What type of process do you follow for handling bulk material? Say 1000ml of 50/50 6mg. For day to day working purposes, do you distribute into smaller bottles, maybe two 500's or four 250's, leave in one large bottle, etc.?

What seems to work best for you? Thanks!

I have some short wide mouth 240 ml amber bottles that are labelled and refilled as needed with nic in one, PG in one and VG in one. I do not mix down the nic or bases together until I am mixing an actual recipe. If I have a recipe with 20% flavor and another with 3% flavor I want the same final ratio to be 40p/60v 3mg - there isnt really an easy way to premix the bases to work across the board with extremely varied recipes.

If I had 50/50 6mg base + 20% flavor your final ratio would be 60p/40v and 4.8mg nic

( for some the variant is not a problem - for me anything over 50% pg drives me batty so I prefer to know all my nics and ratios are precisely where I want them )

Check your math on the nic concentration; it should not increase for a dilution. I get 2.4 mg/ml for that.

Figure out what you need to work with for 3 months and freeze the rest.

I've found it easiest to mix up several 60ml glass bottles of PG/VG/nic base at a time, and to keep these on hand to use as needed. Larger bottles bugged me because I had a hard time measuring from them with a syringe.



Have fun, OP! DIY is awesome.
