mixing amount

Heya guys used an awesome recipe and love it will there be any difference if I make 100ml in one container as apposed to just a 30ml bottle? Thought it might affect the steeping or flavour? Many thanks

A DIY calculator will give you exact measurements Short answer is you're %'s will remain the same but you will be using more flavoring to flavor 100 mls instead of 30.
There are many calculators, but here is a link to the one I use:

Yeah ok thankyou I just thought maybe more nicotine or flavourings together in a tub may overpower one or the other

I don't know if the quantity of finished juice being all together in one place will change how the flavor develops over time. (That is what I thought you were asking about?) In some instances it might, but unfortunately I don't know what these are.

I have read that leaving a lot of room in the bottle in which you mix impacts the curing process (or whatever you want to call it) because of the amount of air--even the same air--exposed to the juice.

Maybe someone more experienced can chime in here. If not, I would check out reddit--which is where I think I came across a discussion of this. Sorry I don't remember where, exactly, other than in the linked sub. Probably it's nothing you should worry very much about in any case, though! Just a possibly interesting chemistry question

No sir. All you have to do is make a larger batch, but make sure that your percentages stay the same. Basically converting from 30 ml to 100, you will be multiplying all of your your ingredients by roughly 3.3 times what you originally used. That's why you will need a calculator to make sure that you know exactly what that will translate to. If you "eyeball it", it won't be the same. %'s must remain constant.

I don't think the quantity will affect anything as long as he sticks to the correct %'s for the recipe. Especially going from 30 ml to 100 ml. I mean it's not THAT much bigger of a bottle when you think about it. I would suggest reading all that you can though. There are many great threads here in the DIY section and Reddit is also a great source of information and different perspectives as well.

Yeah that's what I meant haha was hard to describe I will have to do an experiment! Will mix a 30ml and 100ml and compare will get back to you ;D

I hope it doesn't make a difference but will check it out and get back to you and I know the importance of sticking to recipes and percentages haha

Hmm..well I guess I didn't understand exactly what you were asking..LOL Good luck though. Hope it all turns out great! It's always exciting to find a great new recipe

My guesstimate theory, which comes from reproducing the same recipe in 10 ml testers and 50 ml consumption batches, is that recipes that need a while to steep might need a bit longer in bulk but should otherwise come out the same. Of course, that's considering full bottles put through the same steeping process - change air exposure, time in a heat bath, etc and all bets are off. ..

Yeah I can't remember who suggested it but is was on here and it was 3% custard and 1% blueberry all FA. Awesome recipe every vaper should try this

 

[soulshine]

There ya go OBDave. That's probably the answer he was looking for. I was looking at it as "how do I duplicate a 30 ml into 100ml?"

Awesome i don't mind waiting a bit longer for better juice I used to be so impatient but now I have learned its worth the wait especially as I vape custard 24/7

 

[sketchness]

Based on conversation with Vendors. A larger bottle will take longer to steep.

 

[soulshine]

Well there ya go...I fall into the "impatient/shake and vapers" category! LOL Not much has an opportunity to steep around me...LOL
