I imagine it'd be perfect for that... kinda like a dripper that doesn't leak all in your pocket!
Little tanks are cool, even with limited capacity. The Kabuki holds 2.5 mls. Barely. On a good day, when there's zero humidity
. There are some folks - one of whom might be the maker - who insist it holds 3 mls, but I'm pretty sure the lines have worn off their syringes!
I don't post much on this side, but I have to relate this story, as it is Vape related. Yours truly pulled a really dum dum move day before yesterday. I carry around a 30ml bottle of juice in my purse wrapped in a paper towel. Dumb doraput it back in her purse Sunday and neglected to tighten the cap on the bottle. Get back to the apartment after work, feel the purse is wet, open it up and BAM..........the whole bottle has leaked all over the purse. The paper towel caught most of it, but I've had my purse drying out for two days. It smells like strawberry.
Yup. Been there; done that. 'Cept I didn't think of wrapping it in a paper towel...
At least it was strawberry, and not some somethin that smells like a cocktail! 
How are ya doin?
I'm hanging in there. Lots of stupid changes going on at work. Can't go to the Odyssey. Trying to keep my head up....... I'll be all right.Yup. Been there; done that. 'Cept I didn't think of wrapping it in a paper towel...
How are ya doin?
oh wow I've done things like that. Not with ejuice......but I did get a tank dumped in my lap, also strawberry! hmmmm that strawberry juice might be treacherous. Was taking the tank off my mod..... forgot to hold the bottom as I unscrewed it..... ended up unscrewing just the tank from the base. I considered it my vaping baptism!! And boy did I smell purdy!!
So wish ya could come! ((((((((roto)))))))))
Sounds like a zip lock for a backup barrier is in order! My Kayfun holds 4.5ml, so I just fill it before I leave the house. I only carry extra juice if I know I'll be out for the whole day.
Never had juice leak in my purse...
I seldom go anywhere without two devices, and, if I think it's going to be a long day, both with full KFs and fresh batteries. As a dyed in the wool tootler, 9 mls will get me through any single day, and I get two flavors as well as "insurance."

Question for you kind folks. I'm about ready to start gathering some DIY supplies. I'm not worrying about stockpiling with this order. I just want to experiment and learn. Is there any reason I shouldn't order the nic in 50/50 PG/VG? I know there's a thought that nic does better in the freezer if it's 100 percent PG, and I'll keep that in mind when I order enough to stockpile.
Right now I'm looking at either 250ml or 500ml of nic, pg and vg from Nude Nic. Probably 500. I presently vape at 70vg/30pg but am looking to at least experiment with close to 50/50 when I make my own. Seems it would simplify things to start at 50/50 in the Nic.
Since the base will already be mixed, and since I am planning on using several 10, 12, 30 and 50ml bottles I already have, it seems all I really need for mixing in those small containers is a syringe. I have a 10ml on hand. Am I missing something?
I do know I still need flavorings, and I plan to order small bottles while learning there also. I'm sure I'll be asking for advice about that soon.

Mike, are you talking about the pre-mixed Nic/vg/pg from Nude Nic? If so, they ask what strength flavoring you plan to add (e.g., up to 20%, as I recall) and make the base accordingly. I got the one that ends up 30/70 assuming 20% flavoring and liked it a lot.
I have to tell them the strength of the flavoring before I know what the flavors are? I'm fairly certain I won't want to go more than 10-15 percent on most flavors, but I'm sure there are some recipes where the cumulative amounts are more than that. So you are vaping 70 pg, is that how it works?
I dumped a K1 glasso full of the last of my CLR in my lap once. I was on my way to a b&m to get more CLR. I'd been vaping about 6 months. I smelled delicious! Hasn't happened since!.I'm sorry you can't go, Roto. Me, either. It's so hard when real life gets in the way! We'll commiserate together, along with @Kenna, and anyone else who had planned to attend.
Come to think of it, strawberry juice is what leaked on me, too. Perhaps Debadoodles is on to something...
I need to get motivated to mix some juice. Want to try a honeydew/cucumber/mint/menthol. I've been thinking about how to combine those since before I started diy. Maybe a touch of key lime or mojito, too. Now my eyes are crossing....
You'll need a 1ml syringe. Some amounts are too small to accurately measure easily in a larger syringe. You can get tiny sample sizes of most flavors at Wizard. I don't know of anyone else that offers them. I used those when I first started & still do when it's a flavor I'm not sure about.

Thanks Kenna and LittleBird. Seems it might be simpler to go back to Plan A and get the nic in 100-percent PG and go from there. And, Wizard is where I plan to buy flavorings in sample sizes. I know they also have syringes and other things.
I know I'll need lots of advice about flavorings and such, but just one quick question: I know I like caramels, creams, banana, orange and probably most fruit tastes. Strawberry is my favorite right now in several different combinations. Is there a particular flavoring from Wizard that you guys like in the tastes that I mentioned?

You need to consider the nic level of what you're buying too. How much pg/vg & flavoring will need to be added to get to your desired nic level.
Let's see, we have LittleBird, Roto, Kenna, and Dancing left behind. Who else? We need to have a commiseration party! Might as well make the most of it.
