I'm sure that any questions I might have when going to weight mixing will be answered here. Everyone is so helpful here!

I measured by volume with syringes for a long time and worked just fine.
Only recently started using a scale, but just for flavorings.
Think mixing is actually easier now.
Except for that dang FA Fuji that won't seem to register on my scale:D.

Edited:
As a note, I was stubborn & determined not to use a scale either, for a long time.
But after seeing so many others here using them, and swearing by them...
I finally gave in and decided to try one.
"Can't knock it if you haven't tried it", so to speak.
So I learned something, as it would seem the general consensus had shown it may be easier,
and the combined knowledge of all the mixers here was correct, as usual.
And it does seem to be easier now.
But whatever works best for you, or whatever your most comfortable with, will work fine too.

Use a nickel after you've tared out the scale (or 2). They weigh 5 grams, and that way you can measure just one drop :)

Thanks, good tip.
Is that to pre-load the scale first?
I've had the same issue with a few other flavors too.

Put the bottle on the scale, tare, then add the weight. Then, say you have 2 nickels on there, you'll start with the scale at 10 gram, so you can see when it goes to 10.03 grams!

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. I'll keep all this in mind once I get my scales.
