It's beakers I need, I think, since I'll be mixing by weight.
Or any pyrex. Same company that makes the beakers for labs makes the glass measuring cups for your kitchen. If you do order beakers, try to get “education” grade, they’re thicker and a little harder to break. A Pyrex measuring cup from Dollar Tree or Walmart will be less expensive and work the same. Plus, measuring cups stack, beakers don’t.

Yeah, I'll just use my one-cup Pyrex. Good. I won't have to figure out where to store beakers. (I'm already worrying about where the heck I'm going to stash the flavors.)
If you're going to be mixing by weight you can mix directly into your eliquid bottles. No need for anything extra to have to clean out when you're finished :)
I was thinking I needed a separate container so I could use my little mixer, but I see it comes with a stick attachment that would fit in my bottles, so maybe I won't have to bother even with my Pyrex measuring cup. Again, good. The less liquid I have to transfer from one receptacle to another, the better, since pouring is fraught with peril in this household.

I’m a mess waiting to happen, so I mix in the bottle. Ok, I’m a little cheap and impatient too :rolleyes:
I just started mixing by weight, sooo easy and no cleanup! I use these for flavor storage, bought at the recommendation of several people on here. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Organizer-Adjustable-Manicure-Compartments/dp/B0769H1NZ1

    My stash is starting to get low so mixed more of —

    HIC’s Heart Delight
    Brulee Donut
    Cinnamon Survivor
    Graham Cracker Custard
    RedDead RY4 Double

    The only new one I mixed is Fran’s Cheesy Rhubarb.

    I still have a few more that I need to mix.
    Could I get the Graham Cracker Custard please and would like to see what you did with the Creme Brulee also:):)

    I stuck one of those in my cart when it came up here a while ago, but storing it would be a problem. I'll likely end up chucking my flavors in a cupboard and doing a lot of cursing as I rifle through them looking for what I want.

    Now to free up some cupboard space . . .

    I love my cases. I have 2 different kinds and I think the nail polish spaces are a tad bigger

    I have two similar to Fran's and have two more stack on brand cases that they sell at Lowes. I like the nail polish containers much better. It's easier to find flavors in them than the stack on cases that just have eight or ten compartments.

    Had to stock the wood pile today so I haven't got a dang thing done. Haven't made much of a dent in my mixed juice either. Might be time to haul out one of my bigger tanks........

    You need to find a neighbor kid to do that for you.

    I don't do it much anymore cause I get too much help. I wanted to do it today for the exercise. My Gd wanted to send her husband up after work and I told her I was all set for today:)

    Sounds like you should add a couple more nail polish cases and find a different use for your stack on cases??
