Making small amounts...how small can I go?

[Dazzyst]

Hi All,

I'm new to making my own juice and want some advice please.

I'd rather not make up multiple 30ml samples to only find out I hate the taste. It's wasteful and expensive. Is there a minimal amount I can make, say 10ml, that's scalable if I like the flavour?

Cheers
Dazz

Hi All,

I'm new to DIY juice making and with the many brands of flavour concentrates available in the UK wanted to know which brand I should start with. Any advice really appreciated.

Hi @Dazzyst and welcome to the planet.

Might be a good idea to say hi here first in the new user section https://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/forums/new-users-corner/new-user-introductions/

yes, 10ml is the best way to go to save on waste.
what sort of kit are you using to measure. scales or syringes.
scales are the simplest way and using an online calculator makes it a whole lot easier.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I'm using syringes but could easily get a small digital scale if that would be better.

Ive not mixed in almost 3 years.
started out buying 50 single concentrates, scales, syringes,pippetes and litres of vg and pg (dont buy ready mixed vg/pg).
results not great. vapable but not great.
then turned to one shots where the flavours are all pre mixed for you. much easier and all thats needed to be added is vg/pg/nic. plenty of suppliers on my list that sell them like darkstar,vapable,cheffs,blues bros,drip hacks,nom noms and many more.

I'm also trying to save money too. I did look at those one shots but they're a potentially expensive way of making juice but give me a few weeks and I might end up agreeing with you!

Start simple and use jewellers scales, i.e. accurate to x.xx

Just ordered one on Amazon. 0.01g accuracy and weighs up to 500g. Not bad value at £9.00!

when you need help walking you through the online calculators just post up and someone will be around to advise.
