Accurate Flavour Weight Measurements

[Richard Winter]

We can, aye.

Exactly my point.
When it's written down there can be no confusion.

Surely you don’t write down every casual conversation you have @Richard Winter , to ensure accuracy and avoid confusion?

I suspect he was referring his recipe mixes.

I suspect he was referring his recipe mixes.

Hopefully he’ll let us know once he’s consulted his records.

I was referring to my mixes but I suspect you knew that already.
I can see that I will have to bring pen to paper when dicussing a topic with you in future just in case you throw another curve ball into the equation.

I've watched this thread with more than a little amusement.
As some have said, it's an argument of semantics. Or is it?
The only liquid that weighs 1g per ml, is common or garden water. Absolutely any other liquid has a different weight per ml. Indeed the truth is, little of our water actually weighs that.

so, if a recipe has been made using weight, the only way to repeat that recipe, is to make up up by weight. The same rule is true of mixes, originally made by volume measurements. Only volume measurement will give an accurate rendition.

I read here someone state their scales are "accurate", to .1g. The real truth is that these scales are 'graduated' in .1g increments. Their accuracy will be way way above +/- .1g, in truth. Which need ps to be kept in mind.

if you are weighing something, try to ensure the ambient temp is consistent, where you do the weighing. If it isn't, even the worlds best scales will err. Same goes for volume measurements, it just effects less things.

now we can all run off and find the specific gravity of each of our concentrates. Do the maths to find it's mass then convert that to Grams. Or you can do the whole thing by volume and only worry about the ambient temp.

now I freely admit my knowledge is not from making Vape juice. It comes from making up Photo chemicals, almost 40 years ago. I've changed in that time. The rules governing mass and volume, haven't.

Richard, as a relatively new user of this site I don’t know you or @zouzounaki particularly well if at all, I certainly don’t have anything like 1,000+ that both of you do, and yet even I can see that there was no particular curve ball thrown in this discussion. Quite the contrary, @zouzounaki may be objectionable in some other way, in some other threads (again I can’t say as I haven’t seen that) but he has been consistent in this discussion about the approach he employs and appears, to me at least, to have shared that approach with honesty and humility. He has apparently got under your skin though as your responses are pretty humourless to my mind. Starting a sentence with a term like “people can do this whatever way they like it’s fine by me” doesn’t inoculate the part of that sentence after the inevitable “but” from appearing fairly binary. Which in itself is fine as long as your argument is relevant and backed up properly. You may not mean to have done so but you have simply espoused the virtues of what I called the “scientific” approach while denigrating the “artistic” one zouz shared. Replicability is not the objective of artistic creation, indeed it is it’s antithesis.

Again it seems to me (someone, I hasten to add, that is new to this and not very good at mixing yet) that, while they may not suit everyone, both approaches have their merits.

PS - I did not claim @zouzounaki was pulling your chain. I surfaced the possibility (whilst acknowledging that I could not possibly know) and you claimed it was so.

Right - can we all be friends now please?

Although I'm still very new to mixing, one thing I do know is, whoever is making a recipe, it's their juice and they're the one who is going to be vaping it so really it's their right to decide how they want to go about it. I'm sure I'd still feel the same even if I'd been doing this for donkeys.

Perhaps it may best to leave things there. I'm sure it won't benefit anyone to have a potential fall out over something so minor.

Good luck on your mixing journey.

Thank you Richard Winter.
