Type diy eliquid into youtube and watch away plenty of good informative videos on there

I have tried pipettes and failed - maybe I got the wrong ones but I thought they would be good, not so.
Syringes with no needles (some use blunt, I use nothing on the end, end drilled out slightly to 2.5mm to shove over needle top bottle).
Or measuring cups / beakers / cylinders.
Or some people use accurate scales.

I am syringe and measuring cups personally.

Pippettes imo are a waste of time for the sort of mixing we do. If you want to do it the long hard way get a 1ml, a 5ml and a 10ml syringe.
If you want to do it quickly with less fuss and mess get yourself a 500gram jewellery scale which reads to 2 decimal places.
Like these -

It doesn't have to be these but it must have a tare function

cool thanx people i have ordered some blunt needles will use them for my first mix or two then get a decent set of scales and start doing some bigger batches. just a quick question, how long do you think a blackjack flavour would need steeping for?

 

[johnr7]

I used to love Black Jack - went off it (as you do with ADV after time).
My memory says it was shake and vape, pretty much like fruit.
It will get better with a bit of steep but I don't recall it being something I would mix for later.
Give it a try at different times and see what you think.

@johnr7 whats ADV? is it bad i dont know that? yer ill try it out straight away and again a few days later then.

 

[slugster]

Adv is all day vape, scales are definitely the way forward I've just started using these and they are brilliant

 

[stephenjallsop]

ahhh get it now. yer deffo once i get an idea of what im doing i can see myself getting scales.

Stephen, can I ask where you got the Blackjack flavoring please? Just hunting round now for some but not sure which one to go for??

Cheers,
