Mixing a recipe

[chrisjw]

Can i just determine that when I create a mix, I measure out & mix all the ingredients up in a dropper bottle, shake & then leave to steep. I will be measuring, using ml's from a syringe & not by drops.

By this, I mean I don't need to mix it in one bottle & then transfer to a different one.

That's the one Chris.

Because I'm doing my own made up recipes, I line up what I need, then go from one end of my line to other, putting each item away as I've used it. Once it's all in the bottle I give it a good shake with the top on.. then remove the top and leave it in the dark cupboard to steep.

I do the same as dee but just put the tops on as I go along, no mistakes that way if you get called away

That's the way I do it too, line up all the ingredients and by using a syringe and gloves. then do the shake n vac dance for about 2 minutes. then leave to steep. Don't watch it steep, its like watching paint dry, just be patient

I found that mixing the base and flavours at the same time involved too many bottles and syringes. I pre-mix about 100 ml of base (nic/pg/vg)and add the flavours later.

That's a pity Vic as you'd probably find them even more enjoyable if you did, the majority of flavours benefit from at least 3/4 days infusing time.

I have 4 mixes steeping on my mantle above my log burner which is alight as we speak
