    Thanks. I looked at beakers, but I measure such small amounts that I prefer cylinders as they seem to be more accurate. Good point about the markings wearing off. I had a feeling that might be the case.

    Good afternoon DIY'ers :)

    It's hit 60 here! Carli dog and I were out playing frisbee and walking around at some of our favorite places for much of the early part of the day. She was sooooo happy, me too! :D
    Weather says we have chance of seeing 60 on Thursday. I will believe when I see.

    Morning, Mixers.

    I saw those graduated cylinders at Liquid Barn. I could use a couple for quick dilutions of my nic base, VG, PG, etc., not for recipes. They come in 10 and 25 mls. Or should I get more expensive glass ones from Amazon? Thanks.

    Graduated Cylinders

    IMO the plastic will do fine, although maybe a 50ml one also? Might be useful for, say, a 30ml batch?

    IF the numbers on whatever you get are not raised, put a layer of clear tape over the tube, covering them. Helps them last longer :)

    You might want to check Wizard Labs price on the 10mL and 25mL plastic ones...as the last time I bought a few for new DIYers...they were quite a bit less from them.

    Also, if you ever think you might use a 500mL one...give me a holler. I have a few of them. :D Also have some plastic beakers in 25mL - 2000mL. Bought lots of things in quantity from a plastics manufacturer who mainly deals with scientific and educational laboratories, medical use supplies, etc. It was amazing the prices I got on a bunch of stuff.

    Good afternoon, all. I hope everyone is having a good day.

    But I use rechargeable batteries and it’s no big deal.
    Rechargeable is the way to go. The initial cost is lower and the quality is so much better nowadays.

    They don't have a 50 ml one--10 and 25 ml only. I looked. Maybe I'll start with plastic and see how it goes. Thanks, David! :wub:
    I tried using the graduated cylinders when I first started DIY. I didn't care for them as the liquids clung to the sides too much. That's why I use syringes, don't have to worry about it.

    Thanks, not a must have right now. I just happened on those cylinders while I was looking for CNT nicotine.:D I have a few glass measuring cups and a large beaker (300 ml). Just window shopping. I don't think those will be banned any time soon. :)

    Good to know. I hate syringes, though. :lol: Too much cleaning afterwards. :facepalm:

    Well, I just scored a good haul. I brought my dog outside for her to do her duty and noticed a neighbor had put some lumber out to his curb. I got about a half dozen 2x4s and a few 1x4s, good pine lumber. I just need to sand and then paint them. I'm going to use them to make a cat tree. I already have a sheet of plywood for the base and shelves. Now, all I have to do is sit down and draw up the plans. I have it pictured in my mind.
