Greetings all, I too, am thinking about having a dabble at home brew. I've seen a video of a fella mixing his ingredients purely by weight on his digital scales. Looked easy enough to me, no syringes or counting  drops etc. What is the general opinion of this method please? My apologies if this has been covered extensively, but I'm googled out today, having done a load of research for my son earlier!
Many thanks

It's not for me personally becks, syringes & measuring cups do me just fine . . . but here's a recent discussion on the topic that you might find useful.

Thanks for the link Perpetua, I guessed I wasn't the first to ask about this! It seems the jury is out on this one, I'll  do a bit more research, struggling with the in house search facility at the moment.
Cheers for now.

Also, if you want to break your mixology duck with minimal fuss, try this. For 10 ML of unflavoured juice (yes unflavoured). Assuming you don't have a measured syringe, put 25 drips of 72% eliquid base in. If your base eliquid is different, adjust accordingly, for instance 36% base is half as strong so drip 50 drips. Top up with VG. Give it a good old shake. That's your unflavoured liquid, ready to use, right there. If you have a flavour, for 20% taste, before adding the VG pop in 40 drops of flavouring. For 10%, add 20 drops. And so on. Always leave the VG (or PG if you prefer) till last. If you want to try say, 50/50 PG/VG, put 70 drips of PG in, then top off with VG.

When you get comfy with 10ML, try 30ML, multiplying everything by 3. After a while you can look at ejuicemeup and start experimenting like the rest of us

You can probably see already it's a little faster with a syringe, but to start with, try this one out. Dave Dorn over at VTTV only ever toots these mixes, using 20% Ethyl Maltol, and similarly I make the stuff in 100 ML at a time bottles and it's a great one to have volumes of.

Edit : this will make a 9% strength juice, if you want to make it more poky like 18%, guess what? Adjust the base accordingly. 100 drips of 36% base instead of 50. And so on.

Wow..alot to take in there dave lol. You are telling the person who runs on one brain cell, so finds it very hard to take it all in.

I vape 100% VG 18mg juice and I do have syringes ect.. although even then I make a mess lol. I can't get away with PG mixes at all.

What is VTTV by the way?
