Mixing by weight

[pancser]

Thanks to make that clear I thought diff brands have diff weights
Now I am going to buy a scale and some concentrates

Thanks everyone for the inputs

Or, you could do it the really simple way. A graduated chemical cylinder, cost me about a one pound note for two, and you're done.

I have just run off a few recipes on ELR and all the concentrates are the same weight ie 1ml = 1 gram is this as close as it gets? Surely some concentrates must weigh more than others or is the difference so miniscule that it does not really matter.

I don't mix by weight, but I would have thought that most concentrates would have a specific gravity/density closer to that of PG (1.037g/ml), than water (1.00g/ml). The difference however is small and the error will be across all the concentrates that you use, so I suspect the error will be unnoticeable in practice.

Thanks so much for the info

I have ordered the scale from here:

ourweigh.co.uk

It comes with 3years of warranty

Bought scales, still mixing by volume, it's what I know best. Never really got to grips with mixing by weight.

I did a quick Mixing by Weight video a while back for someone.......

2 things

1. Your link has been hijacked and takes you off to  affiliatefuture (whoever they are), to use the required url you need to highlight, copy then paste.

2. Generally it is recommended to get scales accurate to 0.01g, when you are measuring very small amounts there is a lot of scope between 0.1 -0.2g

Enjoy yourself, mixing by weight was the best thing I have done, I can do a mix in seconds now, and no washing up

It is strange I did "copy then paste" when posted that link 
I tried again and I had the same result 

I do not planning to make complicated recipes (I wish I have the patience for that) I just use single flavors or one shots at the moment

It's a company selling affiliate links whose tech leaves something to be desired.
Let's say they won't be getting too much repeat business.
