Hey guys, I apologise in the first instance. Had a hellish couple of hours which has left me super pi$$ed off with myself and I need to vent! Start from the beginning. My order of more concentrates turned up this morning from 28vapeslater and so I decided to have a mixing session now the kids are finally in bed. Order comprised of FW Graham Cracker, FW Dutch Apple Pie, and TPA Apple. End desire was to make 100ml of Romelee's Dutch Apple Pie. He sent me a sample a week or so ago and this is why I dove in at the deep end with this particular mix. So, two 50ml bottles alongside each other and away we go.. Was going great to begin with, Nc base, Pg and Vg was a breeze. Started on the flavours and the dog started barking for no reason. Got the first few flavours in until it got to the point where he was barking almost constantly, so I went to see what was up. Bloody fly hovering around his bed!!! I get back, and all I have left to mix in is the Graham Cracker (which I had been waiting ages to come into stock), the Dutch Apple Pie, and the Sweetener. Sweetener, done. No issues there. This is where it went horribly wrong... Dog started again, went out the kitchen, came back, and picked up the wrong bottle... There's me thinking that I've got the Apple Pie in my hand I syringe 5ml into the first bottle... NNNNOOOOOO!!! that was the Graham Cracker!! I then proceeded to knock over the little bottle containing the rest of the concentrate ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! B*LL*X! After 10 minutes of ooohing and aaahing, I tipped the messed up mix down the sink regretting every little drop!! There was probably something I could have done by bulking everything else up but that didn't cross my mind until it was too late!! So now I have one 50ml mix of Dutch apple pie with no Graham Cracker, and another 50ml bottle completely empty waiting for me to order more supplies! Yes, maybe I should have done 10 x 10ml bottles but I thought 2 x 50ml bottles made more sense... How much I regret taking the easy route you will never understand!! Stressed.com Has this happened to anyone else? please tell me I'm not the only one who's gone into mixing meltdown!!!!

I think we've probably all suffered mixing meltdown at one point or another. I've certainly experienced putting the wrong flavour in or getting the quantities arse about face. As you say though, it's worth holding back from chucking it down the sink until you have the chance to work out whether it can be salvaged!
On a serious note, we should never mix when pets or children are around. If it was the nic base you'd spilled on the floor and your pooch had licked it up, you might be telling us a much sadder story!

There would be no chance of him coming in the kitchen as he was in his cage.. Would never put him or the kids at risk!! That my biggest regret! Should have just put the lid on and had a vape for an hour to calm down before tipping it away.. Live and learn as they say!

Yeah I've lost concentration before and forgot what bottle I was supposed to be mixing next, never spilt it all over the floor though, chin up mate could be worse, not quite sure how though

Ah well at least you will have something to vape on whilst clearing up the mess lol And yeah small bottles are the way to go, unless you are are proficient, bloody hell that's a bit intellectual for me, especially after this many beers, at making the mix

Not to mention the various 10-12ml bottles I have laying around should I need a change...

I usually buy it from Grant himself, but he's gone away which is why he sold some stock to Pink Mule and Cloud9... It's my main vape at the minute and I have three custards steeping as we speak to try...

I have no idea!! LOL
I've mixed up three forum favourites to begin with which have been steeping for 6 days now, but they have another 5 weeks of natural steeping before I'lll know how close to GVC they are...
I also have a few other recipes to try at a later date including the original recipe which Grant let slip before he decided to sell it...
They smell scrumptious already but taste will be the deciding factor!

I tend to do one bottle at a time even if making multiple bottles of the same juice, I know I would get confused and end up putting too much concentrate in one bottle and none in another.

I never mix larger volumes than 30ml either . . . and that's only on a handful of favourites, 10ml or 20ml at a time of a flavour is enough for me.
