    So when are you gonna buy some blue aquarium foam?;)
    I still use aquarium fluff for my Spheroids. Not exactly the same but sometimes the 'old ways' are the best ways... Absolutely will not leak ever!

    I'm going to have to try this in my Origen 16 and see how it turns out. Might have to use a little Ekowool inside the mesh for better wicking.

    I just bought some 400 mesh last week to play around with. I don't have a gennie tank, but I saw videos using mesh in reg. RTAs. You have any experience with that??? I can't understand how it doesn't flood all over the place... but I still don't understand how metal can be used as a wick... people rave about the flavor of mesh so I wanted to give it a try. Was wondering if anyone had any luck or tips with it used that way to cut my ejuice losses..

    After all of the back and forth and after my third spill today (cap popped off as I was adding drops) I'm wondering if syringes are the way to go. At least I can control it better!

    If I were only making 10-30ml at a time, I could see where a scale would be much more accurate in *dialing in* a new mix. With the 100-200ml that is my norm, syringes work just fine. ;) Besides, I often end up adding a little of this or that to a mix (NET tobacco's) just to change things up a bit.

    I'll admit, it's much easier figuring out .83 ml or whatever on a scale. I almost always make 30 ml or less, as I'm still trying out different recipes. I have a handful that I love but I have enough flavors for hundreds of juices, so why not try as many as you want!

    Here is a tip, go a head and pre-make a few bottles of unflavored ejuice, and when you get ready to make a 10ml sample, over half the work is done for you.

    To be young and adventurous instead of old and boring. Oh wait, I was boring when I was young too. Never mind. :lol:

    As long as there is a method to your madness or is it a madness to your method? LOL

    I mixed up lots of eliquid when I first started and ended up with a lot of them never being vaped. I either lost interest in that particular flavor or there was one I liked better, so I would say 'next time' and next time never came. Those flavors will not go bad. I still have some from when I started and they are fine. Will I ever use all of them. Haven't got the slightest idea. But if I see a recipe I think I may like, odds are I already have the flavor for it.

    Just mix whatever way you are more comfortable with. Maybe one time you will want to measure by volume and the next by weight. Maybe a combo of the two? Most important part is not to let it upset you. Just have fun.

    :)

    Now you've definitely got me stumped! Since I'm naive, I'm assuming that's a joke, or do people actually use that?

    If I had a minicig, I would buy blue foam! Lol

    Okay, you guys have to enlighten me. What do you mean?

    Not that I have done it, but in the vaping chromagnon era, aquarium blue filter material was used as a juice support media around the coil. Or at least, that's what I understand of that.
