You off work tomorrow? I predict you'll be up all night.
@Jackson5 I'm going to a different one tonight.. I usually go Wednesday's, but i was at work too late. I'm sure this one will be nice as well. & no, Huckleberried I'm always at work.. My only day off is Sunday :) work about 9-10 hours a day, so I'm here more than I'm at home lol. Maybe I'll just start mixing here at work haha

LOL, no. It's just that @BigNasty's misfortune was a good reminder. You do need to shake your nic before you mix to make sure your nic is evenly distributed. You don't wanna hit "hot spots" of stronger nic. Also, a really good idea to shake your flavorings before you mix.
Have to agree big time. I use
ac42fbab69bafa94adb5659da9013639.jpg
these to hold my base and have to make sure I shake it really good or I get "nicspike" hotspots

So my scale is off by 0.02.. And all my empty bottles read a little differently.. 4.86, 4.97, 4.84.. I thought they'd be the same? It weighs a dollar at 0.98 & a nickel at 4.98 or less for some.. Also how in the hell am I supposed to mix into these bottles exactly??

Maybe that's what happened with my bottle I bought.. Because this 3mg bottle is crazy strong!

Trial and error. I also Mix on a wooden table so if I make a mess the vg makes the table shine better then woodwax can

Your flavor bottles have dropper tops, right? You put drops in til your desired weight is achieved. You should be able to zero out your scale. Which one did you get?

But the openings for my base bottles is huge and my juice bottles are tiny.. No one told me I'd need a certain cap.. Using a funnel will throw off the weight, no? If I can even find a funnel that small..

OK, did you get any syringes at all? Or, do you have a tiny medicine cup like the kind that comes with nyquil or something? You can also get the kind of bottle that @itsmenotyou posted at a craft store. Or even those ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles from a grocery.

Got any empty ejuice bottles in a large-ish size? Wash one out and use that temporarily for your bases. Anything small and easy to handle will do.

They can be found. If you do get a funnel, after you put it on the empty bottle on the scale, press "tare". Your scale will go back to zero.

Any almost empty mustard containers in the fridge?

I know that lol. I guess I'll need syringes either way to transfer the bases into the bottles is what I mean.

You can use a dripper from an old bottle, depending on how big the batch your cooking up is

My base is a gallon of vg my nic is kept away from vg in the toolbox of flavors.
I mix as needed since I blow through 15-30 ml a day I mix as I go. I just did not think the vg was as cool as it was and super thick, normally I mix in my glass dripper bottles and run it under warm faucet water to thin it down for mixing.

It was a spike alright but not a hot spot.

I go threw ~25 mls a day and usually drip flavorless straight from the big bottle alot. Hell was completely full yesterday morning and it holds 350mls

25 mls a day sounds like quite a bit!..
I guess on a heavy day (off from work) I might use 4 mls tops..if that!

Just for the record, I am jealous of you all that diy.
It's easy! We'll sort of. Once you get one that's really good, THEN it gets fun. But it can be really frustrating too. Can't tell you how much drain cleaner I've mixed. But I do have a few "customers" (aka friends) that buy from me so I must be doing something right. It's an investment though.
