you can always measure the VG in a small medicine measuring cup or pour it into something else and use a syringe without a needle

I hate washing up 

[lairey]

I don't use any kind of mixing bowl... pu all ingredients directly into the bottle, lid on, give it a good shake, job's a good 'un

More expensive than Boots but pre mixed with water

I've only just started mixing, i just put it all in a bottle only started with 5ml bottles.

Just a quickie to all when syringing pg,vg,nic base and flavour is it ok to use same syringe and blunt needle or should I have seperate ones for them???

[xs2man]

Personally, I just use the same one. But I flush it out with warm water a few times after each use.

For example, if I'm making 6 different flavours, I'll mix up 6 bases first. So all the nic base in each individual bottle, then wash out syringe, then all PG, then wash, then all VG then wash. Then I add flavouring. Depending on the quantity I generally try to use a 1ml syringe for the concentrate, as I find that each concentrate bottle drop to be different between bottles, so a syringe keeps things a little more consistent.

I just have two small cups of water and I syringe water through into cup if I'm using the same needle with different fluids.

With the VG I use 30ml a syringe, pull out the plunger and pour the VG into the syringe without the needle on. I just rest the nib on my thumb and pour and stop when it reaches the correct ml line, keeping my thumb on the nib I insert the plunger, (just enough to hold it in place) then squirt the VG into the juice bottle. With VG there is no danger with the liquid, but very little gets left on my thumb and I just wipe clean with a paper towel. I have tried all different methods with VG decanting, but find this works the best for me. I never add water or Vodka.

30ml syringe here

That's the same VG that I use clivealive1 - I purchased 1ltr as it works out not so expenive.  Couldn't be bothered going to boots as I rarely go to town and parking fees / stress do my head in lol.

I don't dilute it. A little hard to syringe with needle, but decant in to measuring cup and then to syringe without needle, no problem.

I usually mix 50/50 or 60/40 with no problem.

That's what I do at 60/40, no problems with it, though does need a good shake.

I only flush syringes after flavours.

Do nic base, pg, VG, flavour1, flush, flavour 2, flush.....

[babs]

I do similar to Fred only vg pg nic with 10ml syringes then flavours with 1 or 2 ml syringes using different ones as I have so many (they are really cheap on ebay). Wash them all after finishing flushing them out as well

[babs]

Oh and I mix straight into the bottle.
