OMG.. Don't OD dude!

Some people use syringes like these to measure:

I make larger batches so I use these little cups:

You could also use internet to calculate mls. to teaspoon/tablespoons or whatever tiny measuring devices you have on hand. Next time you go near pharmacy area in store look in kids medicine section ;)

I never count by drops because different sized bottle make different sized drops plus... it's just slow for bigger batches lol.

Good luck, stay safe. Holler if you need help. Off to meetup but back late tonight hopefully ;)

Okay seriously... I've learned that smokers have no freaking taste buds...seriously. I THOUGHT I was tasting shit for 25 years lol.

After you vape for awhile - your sense of smell/taste will return. Everything you like to vape will probably change.

Also...some folks make very elaborate recipes with sweeteners or stuff in it while others just toss in some flavoring and go (like myself). There is definitely some playing around to try and find what keeps you from smoking and sadly - that will change as your taste comes back.

Most flavorings don't need to go above 15% but I have seen a few that folks use some flavorings at 20%. I like to stick with 5-15% depending on the flavoring.

I use pipettes like these http://www.onestopdiyshop.com/products/ ... ette-.html 3ml for adding nic base, PG and VG, one ml for adding flavoring. A better way to add flavoring is to use a 2ml pipette pump http://www.onestopdiyshop.com/products/ ... -Pump.html with 1ml polystyrene pipettes http://www.onestopdiyshop.com/products/ ... pette.html. They are incredibly accurate but do cost more. Concerning your flavoring not being adequate at 15%, it really depends on which flavor and brand. I'm not familiar with TW's stuff but I'll say it again (until I'm blue in the face) Capella's flavors are excellent. You can't go wrong at 15% with them and if you get the multi-pack special they are quite reasonable.

lolol - well I admit I've made some awful mixes myself. Course then I try to save it by adding something else or whatever :( stinks. Hey... it keeps you busy fiddling and less likely to go seeking a smoke :)
