When I am experimenting and making small batches (100 drop tests) I will use drops, but make sure all the drops are the same. When making a final recipe (10 ml or more) I use syringes. Maybe a pipette for vg (mls, not drops). I know many swear by weight, i just haven't gotten that serious with it yet. And it is just for me, so super exact measurements are not critical at this point.

I usually mix 60-120ml at a time per flavor so a "pinch" isn't that much. I keep swearing I'll try more complicated recipes but I never do. At least I'm happy with what I make and think that's what counts for everyone. I should add, part of my lack of enthusiasm for new flavors is having severe food allergies and with labeling standards on flavors, a mistake could cost a couple thousand dollars or my life. Simple Simon in this case is pure self preservation. But I love hearing about other people's adventures in mixing. 
Everyone talking about diy flavorings One I found, if you guys have not tried it, to be a great flavor to mix with others is Natures Flavors Vanilla Cream. I love it so much. It really helps make a hazelnut mix really nice.

I use the drop method for flavorings as well on small batches. These days I pretty much just vape hazelnut and only make 20ml at a time, and where I do not use much flavoring I use drop method on it too (20 drops of hazelnut and 10 drops of vanilla cream).
I like to make 120ml of 40PG/60VG 3mg, 4mg, or 5mg at a time, and then I make 20ml of my hazelnut at a time.

I use graduated cylinders for all of my diy. But nearly everything I make is either 30ml or 4oz/125ml batches. For testing I do 3ml batches and use syringes for that.
Just got some DIY WTA, very thick. Going to be working with that this weekend. Probably going to take a little playing around with to get it to wick with my normal 50/50 PG/VG mixes. Probably going to try thinning with distilled water and another batch by adjusting the PG/VG ratio.

I do the 100 drop test to test.
Currently making 100mls at a time got four 100ml bottles on the go.
Use syringes and needles for the 100 drop.
Only do it once to see how it is then decide if any changes are needed, some people I think fine tune it with many tests before full scale.

Good luck with it!! and where did you get your diy wta? Mentioned this to my SIL earlier, would like to see if I can get her to try it
well, saw ya in the hangout before I got this posted, but like I said, you'll get the hang of it. when the bottle gets lower, you'll need to squonk a bit longer. It just a bit easier with a fuller bottle. Did you cut the inverted V in the bottom of the tube?
Just don't use button top samsung 25r in the reo. The wood might be a bit taller so the flat top should be fine, but the button tops would likely squish the spring too much, and that is your fail safe.
I know some FA flavorings are concentrated and some aren't. Some use 3% some 10-15%
vapenw had the glass ones with the metal sleeve for 3.99 but just checked and they finally ran out. I loved these and used em a long time til I tried the nautilus, then moved on to a Reo I too am expecting provape to end up moving elsewhere.
Sounds like it's time to get a squonker
The 7 Leaves is stronger at 10%, 24 hr steep. It's about right on the flavor strength. Will let it sit a week and try it. Should have enough left for two good tanks so maybe another test at 2 weeks.
The flavor is more spice than tobacco to me. Reminds me of Backston from Nite Lite but they really aren't similar in taste, they just seem spicy rather than tobacco. Not a bad vape though. Probably better with some of these additives people use.
Well I'm tired and have a lot of recycling cans to dump tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep.
Thanks for the help.

Yep cut the V - Lurking around the Reo forums I saw it mentioned.
20 drops per ml might be the default setting in one or more of the joose-mixing programs, but I believe you can change it to however many drops per ml you want.
I was using nothing but MBV flavorings in the 15 ml dropper-top bottles for a while, and for those particular bottles with that particular density of contents, it took 37 drops to equal one ml.
I don't much care for using drops as a measurement. No criticism intended of those who find mixing by drops easy and convenient. It really only becomes an issue when you've just created the best joose ever made and want to make a much larger quantity in exactly the same proportions. For small quantities I use this 10 ml graduated cylinder, and it's great. It has embossed marks (can't rub off!) every 0.2 ml.

Regardless of the measuring container used, measure to the meniscus of the liquid being measured. That's the lowest point in the middle of the concave surface of the liquid, which is more of a pronounced difference with thick liquids than with thin.
That is a heck of a thing to be dealing with, and makes me realize the importance for manufacturers to have complete and accurate disclosure of ingredients.I usually mix 60-120ml at a time per flavor so a "pinch" isn't that much.

Somebody here actually makes their own WTA. I think I might remember who it is but instead of guessing wrong I'll just hope she (I think) says something about it.
I am so happy not to have the above-normal number of taste buds that super-tasters have! I know what tastes really good but it is really nice not to be very aware of what tastes really bad!*
*One of a small number of exceptions that proves the rule: Do not, repeat DO NOT, use FA Coffee Espresso at anywhere NEAR 3%. That's WAY too much. I've now had to turn a 100 ml batch into a 250 ml batch to reduce the 3% of FA Coffee Espresso I used, and it may well turn into a 500 ml batch before the percentage is reduced sufficiently to be palatable, even to relatively tasteless me!
Other flavorings which I like and use but which I will always use at 1% or less: TFA Tobacco Absolute (Pure), Vaping Zone Superconcentrated Klondike Tobacco, TFA Absinthe and TFA Jalapeno.

Mornin Dave! We've been wonderin bout you........haven't seen you around much. Hope all is going well for ya
Ooooo Kay.....
You are all thumbs.
I got it from www.aromajuice.com. It's the VS DIY WTA. Kinda pricy, but if it works well worth it. Didn't get to mess with it at all last night, ended up with a house full of grandkiddos, and well, they come first.
I didn't have any kids* in order to give me more time for my grandkiddos. Miscalculated somehow, working on what went awry.
URL didn't work so I guessed correctly that it needed another "e" in it.

Now tell the truth, Deb. You wonder about me when you DO see me around much too!
It's all good. Wondering about= caring about. Y'all are a wunnerful bunch!
Dang it. Sadly I typed that wrong while looking at the web site. Not smart enough to copy/paste.
The Grandkiddos are a lot more fun that the kiddos. Get to spoil them and send them home.
MFS order came a day early.
How is everybody doing?
It's Friday!

Do you have pictures of the device you plan to use to lift Mike, you know, just in case the contractor should find the procedure necessary?
I think there must be some essential difference there, but not sure of what it is. I mean, burial involves the use of real estate that is owned by the funeral home, right? Also, give it time... the refusal to bury the terrorist is too recent to know if any legal action will take place. Also, another funeral home has now agreed to take the body. I have no idea whether that frees the originally selected funeral home from the possibility of legal action.
Maybe my contentiousness is a result of my absolute refusal to believe that the world is going to pot. I often feel that too many of get wrapped up in believing that it is.
Don't need smarts, just need know-how. If you use Android or Apple, there are videos for how to copy and paste URLs for those systems as well.
