Dropper Bottles & 20 drops for 1ml

[Super-Shiny]

Weekend is here so i thought time so i just bought some of these: CLICKY

Don't seem that bad for the price considering they are glass and graduated, probably will only use them for flavors.

Also been messing around with the 20 drops per 1ml with e-juice-me-up, is it me or is it way off, tried 20 drops in a 1ml syringe and it just made it past the halfway mark, tried 30 and it was pretty much there.

It got me thinking of the importantance it can be as some flavors are very potent/weak and not getting the correct amount of drops could be fatal in some cases with potent/weak flavors.

Oh well, back too the spree.

I've always worked on 30 drops to a ml Rom . . . although as many will tell you, using a syringe is the truly accurate way for measuring.

However for adding flavouring in small amounts, I find drops the easier option.


Happy Shopping.

Unless you are not that fussed about final results, being able to repeat the mix, etc.... I would always advocate measuring in ml's, use a good syring and never use drops.... Drops are just so variable.

30 drops per ml here too

Nice 'n' easy with no equipment to wash out afterwards.

I do the same for flavoring, just use a dropper, to be honest i use the dropper up to 40 drops anymore than that than i will use a syringe.

Just glad i have been using the 30 drops to a ml as per your posts i have read, just cannot believe how much the 20 drops per 1ml is out.

The problem with using drops is every liquid you add will be different.... Not just Nic, PG, VG, Flavours..... but different flavours can be different viscosity, they may be 30 drops for one flavour and 25 for another....

I would never use drops.... Why would you???

Just bought some of those Glass Pipettes . . . all your fault entirely Rom.

For anything above 5ml yes i use syringes but at the moment i am just making 5ml mixes with experimenting

Because I'm a lazy biddy Frog . . . and mix just for myself in the main.

Just lazy i guess.

Quantities may well be wrong, but if you stick to the same bottles for each ingredient each time at least the will be consistent.

Yeah but you can't, there's no way your flavouring pg and vg and nic all come in bottles with the same size dropper, pg and vg and nic don't even have a dropper, so that means transferring it into other bottles etc

It doesn't matter if the dropper sizes are different so long as i use the same bottle as last time i maintain an acceptable level of consistency & it will taste the same will it not? I don't see mixing up a few flavours for my own personal use as being an exact science

VG i knock back with 10% vodka into a dropper bottle.

My Nic base comes in a 1l bottle & has to be decanted into a smaller bottle anyway, so why not one with a dropper.

I'm not saying my way is the right way but it's easy & it works for me, i vape the fruits of my labour every day with no discernable difference in taste from batch to batch.

I suppose everyone will have their own preferred method of mixing for their own reasons, i don't see anything wrong with that & i never said that what anyone else does is wrong.

Well I suppose that if you do it the same way every time 300 then your results will be consistent, what ever suits I guess, me I measure in ml a lot easier than counting out a 500 drops lol
