Random DIY mixing and More

Can you link him a couple scales?

Yeah. Give me a minute.

Cool, I'm reading the mixing by weight 101 thread.

Cool, I'm reading the mixing by weight 101 thread.

I think most mixers here go by weight.

Here’s an example. What you want is a .01 gram scale with a 500 gram capacity. You decide on battery vs corded vs both and any other features you prefer. Just stick to the .01 increment, 500 Gr spec.

I can see the appeal now, squirt bottles and a scale. Easy. He also links to a $22 scale that looks pretty good.

I would link you to my scale which happens to be one of the more popular scales among DIYers but they’re out of them. But there are many other options just as good.

Look em over and decide what features you like or can use in your life. Read a few reviews. Shop for some squeeze bottles too. Try and get one with a wider hole for the VG.

I think I already have what I need except for a scale and maybe some bottles, and I am going to get those.

Got my knife back from Benchmade, practically brand new, and all it cost me was shipping to benchmade. Coworker absolutely massacred it this fall by grinding me a new edge without asking.

As a former knifemaker, nice Benchmade… and I'd kill that co-worker.

I take it your coworker wasn’t familiar with a solid knife. I too would have been tempted to commit murder. “Hey buddy I took your couple hundred dollar knife and jammed it into the disc grinder”...”you can thank me later”...I hate them co-workers. Had one when I used to frame houses who never knew what to do, only there because his parents were friends with the boss. Came up my ladder to “help out” while I was framing a scuttle hole in the garage ceiling and proceeded to bash my hand with his hammer. I never asked for help nor wanted it. I walked away so I wouldn’t kill him then on break he tells the crew how my dumb ... had my hand in the way of his hammer. I started to get up as I was about to murder him, literally, and the boss quickly grabbed him and walked him out the house to send on some errand so I could cool off. Came back saying “I know, I know” before I could say anything, “he’s gone for the day” “sorry”. He kept his distance for the next few days but that made me blow my stack, I swear steam was coming out my ears when he said that and I probably would have hit him with my hammer or a 2x4 so glad the boss intervened so I didn’t go to prison for murdering the dip$hit.

You hit the nail on the head
He likes to think himself as an expert knife sharpener. He's always grinding dressing and fillet knives.. while we use whetstones and steels.
I lost my knife one day, I set it down and forgot where I set it down. Coworker found it a week later, and noticed it was dull.. he thought he did me a huge favor by grinding me a new edge! I couldn't even get it sharp with a steel. I thought he would have better sense to mess with an expensive knife.. grinding a knife should be the last resort. Even then, I would use something like a 400 grit whetstone to repair an edge. He was so proud and happy that he found my knife and "sharpened" it for me, I just didn't have the heart to ream him a new one.
Benchmade's are expensive, but that lifetime sharpening, cleaning, oiling, repairing for free, and the quality alone of the blades, is worth it.

I wish the ecig market wasn't so volatile and we had a lifetime warranty service for mods and RDAs, RTAs. I mean.. we had that with provari..
