Do one mix at a time and when completed move it away. Don't be like me and have 4 e juice calculators up at one time. It got very confusing that day when I had all the bottles lined up and proceeded doing all the nicotine first and so on. One mixed at a time until you are comfortable and have received a accreditation by a fellow vaper.

Good luck MixerKev

THANX BUD

I have wrote my mixes down so i dont have to get the calculator up whilst im in the kitchen mixing

i am only doing 3 mixes for 3 people so 9 botlles in total of which 6 will be = amounts as same mg pg vg

Have to say though my new method if i am making various mixes is i do all the nic base first in each bottle and then the PG in each bottle and then the VG in each bottle so it just leaves me to do the flavors, i find this way much faster.

But this is based on making more than one flavor.

I do what Rom does essentially Kev . . . although I use the same syringe for Nic Base/VG, then a different one for flavours.

If it's only a small amount of flavouring I'm adding, then I do that by drops straight from the bottle, working on 30 drops to a ml. Saves on the washing up and if it's only me I'm mixing for then I don't get hung up on a drop here or there, extra or less.

i will deffo stick yo correct measurements by syring as i can never count the bleedin drops..im the one that fllods a 306 by putting almost half a bottle in

Best stick with a syringe then Kev.


I also use a small glass pipette for tiddly amounts of flavouring, depends how faffy I feel.

[millerkev]

i think 0.2 ml is the lowest flavouring amount to my planned mixes Perpetua im guessing that will be easy enuff to pick up on the syringe measurements ??
i havnt opened the packaging as yet and have never used a syringe before ..but it cant be that hard can it

i have watched a few vids on youtube ands have sorta got a plan in my head

just fingers crossed now that my juice turns out vape-able

[Perpetua]

Not hard at all using a syringe Kev, have a practice with your plain VG/PG first maybe to get the feel for drawing liquid up, before you go on to the more costly nic base.

Hardest part when you first start mixing is having some patience to let your mixes infuse . . . and one of the most common ' mistakes ' is then adding too much extra flavouring to compensate for the lack of steepage time.

[millerkev]

is there a basic steeping time thread
ie for fruits deserts mints ...multiple flavourings etc etc ?

[Perpetua]

Well this is my quick guide Kev, I'm sure others will chip in with what they do . . . in reality though it's 4 weeks or more before I use anything I've made. A once a month regular mixing session makes sure I've always got enough mixed up ready to use straight away.

Menthols/Mints/Tjuice Concentrates/Aniseed - almost immediately/a day

Fruits/Coffee - 1 day/a week

Dessert/Candy - 2 weeks

Custard/Chocolate - 3-4 weeks

thanks Perpetua

I do my labels before I start mixing and stick them on the empty bottle (sorry only handwritten Rom).

I write on each label the juice name, the date I'm making it, the nic strength and how many mls each of vg/pg/nic and flavourings will be in it. If I need to add anything else to it at a later date I also write that on the label first.
