I find it takes less time and patience to get the last bit out than it does using some syringes to suck it up in the first place, that being said I have 50ml syringes that work ok but it still need a little time to fill it.
I also us these www.poundland.co.uk/clear-shot-glasses-12-pack approx 50ml makes sucking it up less of a chore, it all depends on my mood at the time which I use.

And what goes in the shot glasses ? JD? Vodka? Sambuca? Hahahaha

Either, or all of the above!... makes mixing sooooo much easier!       


or, alternatively it can be easier to suck up VG and other ingredients from a shot glass rather than directly from a bottle.

Yes, that's part of what I'm asking.... but also what strength are your nicotine liquids?

For your 50/50 6mg/ml mix:
 

And if you can confirm whether you mean 70PG/30VG or the other way around, I can calculate for it too.

Thank you soo much postmodern and I feel so stupid now I just want to go to bed. It was 70vg/30pg (Can anyone vape the other way round?)
The recipe tells me how much vg and pg in ml but its already pre mixed. Do I just add them together? Is there any way of weighing them?

Yes you can get 100%pg liquids and the first I bought nearly three years ago were all 20vg/80pg. It was very common then as the attys of the day couldn't handle thicker liquids

[Postmodern Smoking]

Do you mean that you have premixed VG & PG without nicotine @tomo ? .... much more versatile having separate VG & PG !
Yes PG and VG are both dilutents.... so you can add them together above 3.4 + 4.17 = 7.57ml i.e. about 7.6ml of premixed PG&VG use your 50/50

[Postmodern Smoking]

For your 3mg e-liquid @tomo :



That's 1.4 + 6.58 = 8ml of your lower PG/VG dilutent (i.e. 30PG/70VG)

I'm getting there and apologies for me not using the right words. I bought 2L of 70vg/30pg and 2L OF 50/50 AND 250ml of 72mg nic in vg. Bought some scales and will try tomorrow I think. The bottle of wine is winking at me. Thanks for your help

No problem.... it's a steep learning curve! Enjoy your vino @tomo
Also usually in ratio's PG is quoted first i.e. PG/VG.... or even better to specify, as you have done in your last post, so that it is clear.

Personally I don't mix by weight..... but many swear by it. Note that PG, VG and nicotine all have different densities (specific gravities) which complicates things!

[ETA]:
----------------------------------
specific gravity of 72mg/ml nic in VG is about 1.198

specific gravity of 72mg/ml nic in PG is about 1.038

specific gravity of Plain PG is about 1.032

specific gravity of Plain VG is about 1.264

specific gravity of plain 50PG/50VG is about 1.148

specific gravity of plain 30PG/70VG is about 1.194

specific gravity of flavours... assume same as PG; 1.032


Multiple the number of mililitres required by the relevant specific gravity to obtain the mg weight.

c1booth your choice I would do Buffalo Trace or Bulitt right now and another for VG.

Also a warm water bath for the VG bottle helps....

Yes. Very much this. Although when you say "warm", I use water in the bath as hot as I can tolerate with my bare hands. Stand your VG container in the bath for a while (5 - 15 minutes) and your VG will pour almost as well as water.

Grats on your first mix up!

Or I zap my VG in the micro for a few seconds  . . . . . it never has nor will go near a needle.

Congratulations on your first mix c1booth!


There'll be no stopping you now . . . . . .
