b.m., thank you for the detailed reply, I do appreciate it!
Currently, I have 9 syringes, 3 of each of the volumes 1, 3, and 10ml. So I think I'm doing OK with syringes given that I'm making few small batches for tests, to begin. I have 3 needles of both gauges 14 and ... 18, I think, and WL threw in a free in-between gauge needle. I really should be doing OK, I just don't want to cross-contaminate anything, and test a few flavors each sitting. I guess I just need learn to use what I've got, efficiently.
The tip about wicking with silica is very smart, I'll have to see how that works. I'm not used to using silica, nor rinsing an RDA without the intention to let it dry for a considerable period of time (or am I just yanking the silica out, and re-threading after it's been rinsed?).
Mixing is just a whole new world, that requires foreign thinking, for me. For example, I make my living teaching and tutoring math. But when it came to doing the "100 drop sample mix", I couldn't figure out how many drops of 100mg/ml nicotine would get me to, say, 18mg/ml. But then Bill pointed out the right way to think about it: as diluting the nicotine with flavorings, PG, ad VG!
So much of math is just learning to think about things the right way, as in nicotine dilution for the 100 drop sample. Hopefully I'll start picking up the right thought patterns for DIY liquid here soon!
