Ruffie about to start mixing Q&A thread

[ausfost]

<<runs in at full speed after just seeing my name tagged>>

What? What's going on??

Oh right - new mixers club, yeah - like the idea!

I've got lots of 1ml syringes, a few 2.5ml syringes, and a couple of larger ones for when I find a good mix so I can make more of it, some 5ml bottles (unused), 10ml bottles & larger bottles.

I don't do the "30 drips/20 drips" thing - far far easier to just suck up the 3.33ml into a syringe (approx) and squirt it into a bottle, repeat repeat repeat.

One of the nice things is with strong colours like Red Astaire & Absinthe, they sit on top of the Nic Base, PG & VG, then you put the top on the bottle & give it a damn good shake & THERE IT IS! Just waiting to be tried

Very important to get labels to write what you've made, so if you make a few flavours and leave them to 'steep', you can work out what's what in your cupboard.

What I am going to find out soon is that the 2.5ml syringes won't reach into the lower levels of PG, VG & Nic Base, so I'll have to transfer them to shallower bottles, I think.

What else .... ummmmm ..... hang on - that lot will have to do for now until I think of something else, or someone who actually knows what they're doing adds their bit.

Above all - have a HUGE amount of fun mixing stuff to see what it's like!!

I am trying to get the recipe for Spider Venom, because I have no idea how they do that one & what they use.

ENJOY!

Here is a pic of what I mixed on my night shifts.

From left to right:

Pineapple & Champagne - Absinthe & Red Astaire - Fire & Ice & Lemonade - Jack the Ripple & Champagne - Anise, Fire & Ice & Lemonade - Absinthe & Lemon Sherbert - Menthol Artic & Anise - Red Astaire & Lemon Sherbert



Just got loads more concentrates from Chefs Vapour, so I'll start on them soon

[geordie_vaper]

dont use drops just go by ml, and to save a headace round up or down so 14.4ml just use 14, and if 14.6 go to 15ml

works fine for me

[ruffdog]

Thanks guys, I is pissed so speak tomorrow.
Grrrrrrrr ruff.

[wibble]

How's the head ruffdog ?

[MarkS]

Just to make clear I only use drops when making 5 or 10ml. Its simple and less faff than using syringes, beakers etc. with such a small amount the difference in volumes due to viscosity and dropper tops is minimal.

Just remember that with mixing just like anything else with vaping just do what works for you. No one is going to die if you use drops for small amounts.

[ruffdog]

Hi guys, wibble. I've felt better TBH!!!!!
Day of coffee fizzy juice and oven junk food lol.
Oh and paracetamol lol.

Must do a mix later.
Anyone have an idea how long peanut butter would take to steep?

[CaptainChaos]

Probably, yes, Q but a smaller amount than you would have used mint maybe?
