Accurate Flavour Weight Measurements

Weighing liquid is too accurate for me. I like some natural random variation.

You only wave your flavours across the surface anyway

Really. How do you get on with repeatability then? Could be a bit snookered if you want to make a duplicate juice yet you don't know what you put in it in the first place.

Mixing oneshots it makes no difference. I whack that in first, note the net weight & adjust the rest of the components as required. All oneshot bottles I've used are overfilled so just adjust PG to allow. At the end of the day would anybody be able to detect a variance to 2 decimal places anyway. Flavours are likely produced within a tolerance so one batch could be heavier than the next so measuring current stock will be no use if the next bottle comes from a different batch.
Too much overthinking a problem that isn't there maybe

If your using one shots and shortfills then weight doesn't come into the equation.

Why not? More accurate to weigh the Nic, VG & PG than guess if I filled a measuring jug correctly, or over filled & then syringe the excess out. One flavour or half a dozen flavours weighing is quicker, easier & less messy.

If your DIY mixing then weight measurements is easier and more accurate.
From your previous message I thought you was adding Nic to a Shortfill bottle. Sorry if I misunderstood

LOL no first post stated oneshots not shortfill. No different to mixing with multiple flavours but as I'm a lazy fecker I let someone else do the hard work. And mixing 500ml-1ltr at a time I ain't going to be messing with concentrates to 2 decimal places as I defy anyone to taste the difference if out by 0.01grm.

I can’t think of a reason i’d want to duplicate a liquid. I can easily make a close approximation, which is much more desirable.

A fleeting glance.

Your exactly right. You'd never differentiate between that small amount. The original thread was talking about discrepancies between calculators and wether the calculators had the right specific gravity figures for the ingredients.

Everyone to their own but to me that's a ridiculous statement. If your mixing a complex juice and love the outcome, you would want to make more. If you didn't know the ratios of what you did in the first place you would not be able to replicate it.
