What do you use to create your mix? Syringes with blunt tip needles? Pipettes?

Do you use it, wash and reuse, or chunk it?

My bottles and a scale for anything above a 10mL sample. Starting to use a syringe to fill my tanks but not to measure with. Rinse it out when done.

I use a syringe to draw nic base (that I mix up in large quantity) from a jar, flavoring bottles to drop by weight, an eyedropper for flavors that don't come with a dropper tip. Kind of like JXN does, only clean up I have when mixing by weight, is the syringe and the eye dropper (when needed).

Syringe for vg and nic...pipette to fill tanks and dilute solution.
Syringe for flavors with no drip tops like my TFA that came in 10ml vials.

I just use pipettes and i try and after each use fill them with water and expel it back into the water container between each use. ALWAYS have a separate pipette for nic, and keep it labeled, or in a designated spot, especially if it is a high concentration nic base. Some people use the drop method but i have found with different dropper bottles that each drop is not like the other, so this often leads to inaccurate reproduction.

I watched a video on using a scale, and then an article about specific gravity (SG). Does anyone mess with figuring out the SG on VG, PG and flavors, or just say everything has a SG of 1.0?

Since I'm just getting started, 85% of my 120+ bottles are the small ones. I'm sure someone has the perfect dropper for there small bottles. Suggestions?

Thanks

I use the same weight for all concentrates, but it's a little different for pg/vg (should be in your juice calculator - although not all will measure by weight). I just squeeze directly out of the flavoring bottles, or if they don't have droppers I use some old glass droppers that came in juice bottles! I also use glass droppers for nic, because mine is in pg and it tends to pour out to quickly.
