Random DIY mixing and More

[Myk]

Convince me I need to use syringes.

Two words, chopstick, OK, one word.
Syringes don't turn off in the middle of mixing or need batteries.

You probably don't. You have your way and are happy with it.
The squeeze bottle I have used, I cut the tip off so I could put a needle in it. That's what I'm used to.
I deal with a scale reloading, it seems like it would be frustrating trickling liquid weights (it is trickling dry stuff that can easily be taken back out of the pan, and that's using a drop measure to start with a correct volume), I'd have to learn how much is acceptable to be off or I'd be dumping recipes.

Or Wally World if you're impatient

If you get one, DO consider cutting off the tip - mine was super sharp!!

Although I rarely use it. I do use 3 and 5 ml syringes sans needles to measure out flavorings. Finger tip over the outlet, plunger out, of course, drip in the flavor. Place over beaker, cylinder or what ever you mix in, remove finger and let drain in.

Oh gee. Looky see,another sale email from ECX. May have to get that FE Lemon. IF I can find anything else.Well WS23 is on sale and I have that on my BCF wishlist......................

FE lemon is delicious but it is a candyish lemon.

VG is just slow, regardless of what you use. I would give it maybe 30 points on the MR scale, and that means it can live alone or care for itself, OR speak. LOL.

VG is grunts only and by that I mean mine when I deal with it.

I don't use syringes in mixing at all. I use pipettes once in a great while for those INW flavors from VapersTek that come in glass bottles with no drip tip. Convince me I need to use syringes.

On the VTA Sugar Cane, I have some but have not used it as a sweetener. I am not even sure why I bought it - one of those "just in case" things I guess. I will try it in something as a sweetener and compare the results to using SugarDaddy, which I really do like. Haven't touched the CAP Super Sweet or the TFA Sweetener since the SugarDaddy came into my mixing life.

I've read nothing but good about SugarDaddy.

FE lemon is delicious but it is a candyish lemon.

Taste buds are funny things. I don't get candy from FE Lemon. It is, to me, the most natural lemon flavor I tested. I find it lightly sweet and lightly tart - not sour like a real lemon but fairly realistic to me. I guess it goes back to @IDJoel 's comment about all lemon flavors being somewhat sweet. I might try adding citric acid to get a bit sourer.

 

[classwife]

imagine if the color red had a flavor?

To me, red does have a flavor - ick !

Two words, chopstick, OK, one word.

Re-purposing...
I look at your chopsticks and see hair toys ! Would be great for holding a bun up

Well, if you want to send me your mailing addy...I'll pop either a new 25mL or a 50mL medical & scientific grade plastic beaker in the mail for you...if you want to try using it to measure out your VG. I just happen to have a few of those 2 sizes. No charge!

Thanks @JCinFLA , that is super sweet of you

I got a nice surprise when I got home. My ammit rda clone had arrived. It wasn’t in original packaging but looks like the real deal. Anyway, I’m going to taste test some flavors later and give it a try.

My 60ml syringe isn't marked in tenths, it's milliliters. But so is my 20ml syringe so it's still my new favorite because these Inawera flavor percentages are causing me to need more than 20ml of VG.

Recieved a second 64 space nail polish case for my ever expanding flavor concentrates. As soon as I get the LATEST delivery I’ll be reorganizing all the flavors AGAIN. no more double up. Well for now anyways

 

[Fidola13]

I mix by weight and only use a syringe for drawing the nicotine. It’s so easy to mix like this and cleanups a snap.

Off to watch fireworks, unfortunately there will be no margaritas involved. Have a good night everybody.

Well I don't need a candy lemon,that's for sure.

Due to such varying opinions I think I'll just stick with the Lemon Sicily cause I just got a 30ml bottle that will last me forever.

@IDJoel You suggested I pick a flavor I'm familiar with. I have a problem with picking a flavor because all my usual flavors are used in mixes. Suggestion?

 

[FranC]

Tried my 3rd remix of Boozy Tea and finally got one that's not too sweet. It's a plus that I like it too.

I managed to mix a couple tobacco blends today.Got a pretty good chance of liking those. Also decided I need a bigger bottle of VT Scotch Whiskey. I like that quite a bit.

Syringes I use 3ml for flavors, they go to .1ml, I split the difference for .05ml.
I use 6ml and 20ml for nicotine and VG. Sometimes 12ml.

I bought a box of 100 of the 3ml because of rubber killing flavorings. They're the ones I can go through most often. The rest I pick up a few when I'm at TSC as I need them.

I use 18ga for flavors. 14ga for VG (could use bigger but I haven't seen any).

I use graduated cylinders for most of my measuring. I just mix 250 bottles of base, then use syringes for measuring the flavorings in smaller bottles.
