I am lost i dont know if this is for me

[sc00terx]

i dont know if i  have  the  stuff i need to mix  so far not gone well 

is it my scales they  dont work out right  and  keep shuting off  ahhh


the  bottles i use are so small  at the top its hard to   put anything into them 

and  so  i keep  making bad mistakes  with my mix 



i dont know if its my lack of understanding or my lack of concentration that is making this hard to do

I got some 100ml bottles from FT for mixing, but they do 30 and 50 too www.fasttech.com/category/3021/e-liquid-bottles?sort=r& I don't use scales so can't really help with that.

sc00terx, consider what could be done to make life easier. for example, how about mixing in a beaker and then using a small funnel or pipette to fill the little bottles?

also, how about a set of scales that don't shut off? or use syringes until you get the hang of it?

I use these syringes www.juicecabin.com/sterile-syringes/51-sterile-syringes.html which come in sizes from 1ml to 150ml and these 11g needles www.juicecabin.com/sterile-syringes/101-stainless-steel-blunt-dispensing-needles-15inches-long-11g.html which are wide bore so are great for using with VG. They also sell glass Lab Reagent bottles in a wide range of sizes which have a measuring scale up the sides and a range of different mixing tubes.

I use these scales
www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Modes-Pocket-Scale-MZ-600/dp/B006XKO3RW

They do shut off automatically but only if you don't use them for 3 and a half minutes.

Those ones have a 60 second shut off according to the link you posted.
They also only weigh up to 100g

The ones i use weigh up to 600g and i timed the shut off on mine at 3 and half minutes.

I cheat
I use single shot concentrate that's supposed to be mixed at 20% that I buy in 10 mill bottles
I mix 50 mill at a time meaning I only have to measure the nic juice

so I do the nic 1st in to 50 mill bottle then whack in the 10 mill of concentrate and top of with vg

I don't think the druggy scales you get for about £10 dont work well when trying to mix liquids (I have been busted in BnQ using their paint scales lol)

Firstly take a deep breath sc00terx . . . . like most things there's a little trial and error until you get the hang of things.

Lots of sound advice on your thread already, I do especially like pipeman01 's - with perhaps using syringes until you get to grips with the process. I never use needles incidentally with syringes as I find them a pain and prefer instead to decant a small amount into a beaker/shot glass then draw up from there.

So my mixing routine goes something like this . . . .

Decant some Nic base into a beaker - draw up the required amount and add to my bottles.

Add my flavours ( pop the dripper top off first ) - with a needless 1ml syringe as that's fine enough to go down the neck of the bottle.

Lastly as I only use VG heavy - decant some of that, draw up .  . . . and add enough into the bottle until it looks about right. You may want to be more accurate than that!

Scales didn't really suit my style of mixing as I only make small volumes of anything, however that's just me and we're different in what suits.



You'll get there, just give yourself some time and practice . . . . .

This is basically what I do too, though I make a bigger batch of 100ml, I could probably get away with 50Ml. I never really use syringes with needles now.

Think I had one go, back when I very first started mixing joeten . . . . . thought bugga this for a faff and haven't bothered since.

It obviously works for you also - mixing isn't just about creating an enjoyable eliquid but also about developing your own style ( and confidence ) to my way of thinking.

[joeten]

Agree, of course if it's a fiddly amount of pg at the bottom of a bottle a needle can help suck it up which is about all I would use one for now.

Make up less than the others and that's per day

For beakers - plastic shot glasses have served a few of us well for a while - try poundshops? Discount stores

Lots of syringes. No needles. I started 5 years ago with full body armour (plastic apron and gloves) - now I don't bother!

Simple one shot mixes at first (I never got any further than that LOL) - hope that helps
