Do you mix in a beaker or in the bottle

[kermit]

seen it done both ways but what's the general consensus on the best way to do it?

100ml measuring cup.

+1 me too.

I've always done it in the bottle but thinking the measuring cup idea would be more stable and easier.

Same here, dont why i havent thought of doing it before lol

Was mixing into a 50ml bottle the other day started to squeeze a syringe full of VG in like a dope and it just pissed all over the place haha. Beaker it is from now on

Straight to bottle for me. With scales and ketchup style bottles for PG/VG/Nic it just saves time and mess.

Absolutely with you on this one, bottle straight on the scales, only 1 syringe for the nic to wash up, no need to prise all the lids of the concentrate bottles trying to get a syringe in there, just so much quicker and easier.

I'm preparing for my first go at mixing, so using scales seem a little advanced for me at the moment

Nothing advanced about it @kermit , just a lot easier and quicker.
To keep weighing as easy as possible I treat flavourings, PG and nic as 1ml = 1gm. I weigh a sample of each batch of VG to get that figure right, Classikool's is consistently about 1.3gm/ml

It depends on the quantity for me ... 10-100mls straight in the bottle, any more and I use a pyrex jug from the kitchen.
Like @Mr Numpty , I use squeezy sauce bottles for VG and PG, a glass bottle for nic which has a dedicated syringe and drawing needle. I don't use the syringe for measuring, just for drawing and dosing.

The most work I have to do after a mix is put the pyrex jug and blender attachment in the dishwasher.
