For unflavored, I've tried wizard and mfs. Personally prefer mfs both for taste and responsible packaging. Mfs tastes better naked as well rolled in cinnamon or dipped in strawberry cheesecake lol.

HRH goes to the hairdresser because she likes having her hair shampooed, since the (obviously gay) bloke there does a good scalp massage. Since i am bald i fail to see the benefit of going there and if my dentist keeps beating me up the way he is, there will soon be no need to go there anymore.
It's a sad state of affairs when walking from the dentist with the same number of teeth as when you entered passes as a triumph! buy some Breaking Bad videos for your daughter.

Glass syringes are the chit! Well worth the investment if you mix with the syringe. Yea i never use gloves when working with my 100mg/ml nic. I guess I like to live on the edge...i do wear glasses though. And i'm never too far from the sink to wash off if some gets on me.

I buy 100mg/ml when it is on sale and keep it in a lock box in a spare fridge in the basement.
The 100mg/ml I have bought from Wizard Labs and from RTS were both clear and I titrated a sample of each and they were (as close as I could tell by the color change) spot on.
It does require respect, but it is not so concentrated that following simple precautions makes it dangerous like 99% does which requires proper venting etc.
I only mix it down about once a month or so and then mix flavors with the lowered nic base as wanted/needed.
I always have a box of nitrile gloves under the sink for coloring the wife's hair.
(Yes I color her hair, it is a lot cheaper than the beauty shop!)
I do keep a pair of chemical goggles downstairs just for the 100mg/ml mixing.
I need to break down and get some glass syringes sometime since some of the high citrus concentrated flavors swell a regular syringe plunger on contact.
My daughter (grown) just shook her head when she saw me with the gloves, chemical goggles, and an apron on mixing and mumbled something about a m*th lab.
Instead of glass syringes, I went with a 10ml pipette pump. Handy and accurate. Downside to them is vg clings to the pipette wall. Not so much on the 2ml tubes though.
i just use weighing scales and don't use syringes at all. Every place you buy liquid from cannot give away those plastic pipettes fast enough, but the main parts of you liquid are pg/vg and you can just pour it in.
Which leaves my borosilicate glass beakers rather lonely and unused, so i drink from them now and HRH is happy thinking i only drink 100ml at a time!

My pipettes are glass. They are a bit long and cumbersome but prefer them for mixing flavors, easy to clean by drawing up some everclear then water between flavors.
I use 10 ml syringes ( one for pg, one for my nic, and a big graduated beaker. I dump in my vg, the syringe in everything else, stir with a glass stirrer than pour into my container

But my method throws all the ingredients straight into the final container from the start, and especially if you use unflavoured it cannot be simpler - after all you have what? 3 ingredients?

OK, so y'all remember that critically important, groundbreaking, nay earthshattering labor of love o' mine . .. . . . . . . . .?
the "disposable" contact?
1/2" works as well as 3/8" . . . . .. just more screwing.
(the 8/32 brass machine screw, that is)

i rewicked the atty today, so tomorrow i'll clean the Dibi and think about disposable screw contacts.
Don't want to overdo it on a day off.
I do have a small niggling question though. If silver is so good (and i'm sure it is) and lack of cleaning is my priority (and it is) then isn't the ideal scenario silver coatings top and bottom of the points of contact to the battery?
All replies treated in the same casual fashion!

Pretty sure I'm going to look into silver plating. Either a brush kit or check with local jewelry places for the job. I'm not big on cleaning or maintenance, suppose you could say I'm lazy lol
I'm thinking gold plating actually. I know silver is more conductive but after Mundy did his calculations I see what matters is keeping your contacts clean and not the material you use. And gold is the only one that doesn't tarnish. At least until the brass or copper surfaces at some point.

Well cleaning anything around the house is alien to me. After all you don't have a dog and bark yourself.
What's worse is recommendations to clean this and that with a pencil eraser - come on!! i have within reach a soldering iron, dremel, 14 mods, 20 batteries, liquid, magnifying glass and blood pressure pills. Oh my bad - forgot to buy the 'back to school kit'!
What about this?

Don't know anything about that, this is what I was looking at: Plug N' Plate® Silver Electroplating Kit:Amazon:Automotive
I have other things I could use it for too so the price isn't horrible for playing.
Gold plating is not used for contacts that carry any appreciable current.
Gold plating vaporizes easier than silver plating does, and silver sulfide (tarnish) vaporizes before silver does.
Pure silver is good to about 20A, however, due to silvers softness most "silver" contacts are an alloy of silver and another metal.
60% silver and 40% palladium is common.
High amperage contacts are often Silver Cadmium Oxide.
where does the silver plating fall into all this. Does it behave like pure silver in terms of withstanding high current?
