Rather than mixing flavours can you mix single flavours in the tank instead to achieve same results?

I want to make single flavours and not sure if combination of flavours can turn out nasty, can or will just mixing them in the tank by putting half half in atomiser achieve same results?

Yes, I do that.

Since a lot of flavors run 1 - 10 %, it'd be difficult to accurately measure in that low of quantity.
Smallest batches I mix are 10ml.

EDIT -- Never mind, evidently it isn't as difficult as I'd thought.

No I mean, make them separately using right ratios, and then once made just add half of each from the single flavours you've made

ohhhhh, I misunderstood.
No reason you couldn't successfully do that.
Forget I even replied earlier.
I already have.

Sure, you can do this, and I do it often as well.
But I wouldn't rely on it as a regular "recipe" method. There's only so much mixing you can do rolling and tipping in the tank compared to in a bottle.
And of course there's no time for blending and melding (we don't actually "steep" anything)... so it's best left for "shake and vape" combos.

Or rather... because I want to combine combos, or flavors, I already have mixed and ready to go. But there'll still be "hot spots" in the tank, pretty much no matter what.

No biggie... like Neapolitan ice cream, or some such. :D

So lets say flavour A was mature and flavour B was also matured up, we put half of each to the tank. If as you say it doesn't blend as well as shaking in a recipe how does the smoke possibly go compared to if it was mixed together from the start? will you get some pulls tasting like flavour A and some like B and maybe some mixture or?

Option C... some mixture of. No, wait... all of the above. :p

With any appreciable percentage of thick VG... it takes quite a bit of rolling (better than just shaking IMO) to fully mix the flavor concentrate throughout the VG.
And that's in a bottle.

You really can't do that in a mounted tank, so there'll still be spots that aren't fully mixed.

But that's half the fun of doing it. :D

eta: Of the 100 or 150 retail and DIY flavors I've vaped... I'm damned hard pressed to recall any that I didn't at some point try mixed in the tank with something else.

Nope... nothing comes to mind.
As long as it's a potentially workable combo (I'm not an animal :rolleyes: )... go for it. :p
