Yes, because I'm a lazy mixer Chris . . . for me the pleasure is in the creative/flavour part of the process, not twiddling about
with syringes. 

I measure very little, though I am now trying to write the number of drops I use of Flavourings down, as I'm annoying myself in not
being able to re-create some of my brews that I've enjoyed.

But that's just my way of working, I'd like to be more disciplined ideally.

That would be gutting, Like finding the holy grail then forgetting where you put it down

It is Neil . . . and it's got to stop.  :-[

Interesting what you say about drops being a bit inaccurate - I mixed my first barch last night, and using two identical bottles from DV the drop size was markedly different - small ones from the Caramel bottle, and much larger ones from the DY3 bottle.
I might do what you suggest, dripping into a receptacle and then drawing it up into a syringe to measure how many drops in a ml.
I used the ejuicemeup doobrie and it seems to have worked, plus I have saved the recipe just in case it sorks out nicely after a couple of weeks of steeping!

Like you perpetua I find mixing relaxing, I've got all my vg, pg, nic and flavours ready in dropper bottles. When I try something new I just input all the ingredients into breaktru, use the 30 drops per ml method and then save incase I like it. I do make allowances for drop sizes though, I use a recipe for 70/30 17mg mix which, because of the thick drops from the vg bottle, gives me roughly what I'm looking for, a 60/40 15mg liquid. If I'm using flavourings with a small nozzle like TW Gold I'll add an extra drop per ml. I know this may sound chaotic to some people but I can easily tweak or repeat any recipe without any problems.

Something I learnt tonight, when making 30ml of liquid counting drops don't watch the lottery draws.

So im trying out making my first mix wondering if anyome Has tryed mixing this with some caramel ? I've mixed some vc 20% and 4% french vanilla both Capella but then I realized I don't have any sweetener then I thought wonder what this bottle of tpa caremel would be like with it instead

[maccafan]

I've decided to stay away from TPA FV deluxe..Not keen on the contents..

I know CVC probably has some of the same stuff in it, but want to keep it to a minimum cause it's delish..

[Perpetua]

TPA's French Vanilla instead is an option Macca . . . that doesn't have the custard notes in it, it'll help add some creaminess if you
feel your mix needs it that is. Or Vanillin Crystals.


You could add some Caramel Stitch, but I'd let it steep and see if you like it unsweetened first.

[maccafan]

Good thinking..Will get some from LF and see what happens..My mix is growing on me though..It's not half bad, just missing a bit of depth in flavour..

[Perpetua]

Of course if you let it steep Sir, it would be better again, au naturale. 

[maccafan]

I guess so but my two Terminator-C's beg to differ..

No such luck, it just made me lose count six times.

[Perpetua]

Pity, I was hoping the Vanilla Custards were on you Krueger.

Lovely to hear Eggie, glad you're enjoying it. It will get better as well given time . . . if you've any left that is.
