I started keeping the droppers after I broke like 5 bottles while cleaning and figured I’d hang on to the droppers for dropperless bottles. I’ve got tons of empty bottles laying around. I find that dropper bottles are fastest for me, but barring that I like to use recycled droppers: What you use is totally up to you, and what works best for you. As a side note, WizardLabs does sell dropper caps that fit their flavoring vials. You could use syringes for this (in fact I do for some things), but that is probably going to slow down your mixing process.ĭisposable pipettes are pretty cheap, but you can also get droppers cheaply. Some flavor vendors sell small sizes of flavoring in squeeze bottles which is super convenient when mixing by weight, but others (I’m looking at you WizardLabs) use small glass vials that come without dropper caps. This makes droppers or pipettes almost a necessity. When mixing by volume I recommend syringes for dispensing liquids due to their accuracy, but when mixing by weight the scale takes care of accuracy. The scale I suggested is rated for a 500g capacity at 0.01g resolution (often noted as 500g x 0.01g), and I would not place over about 450g on the scale. I don’t even like to get really close to max capacity on a digital scale. These instruments are very sensitive, and it is important that you not drop them or exceed their rated capacity. No matter the scale you choose, you’re going to need a (possibly a set of) calibration weight (the one I suggested comes with). There are plenty of other scales out there, many cheaper, but in my opinion this is the best bang for your buck. My recommendation for a starter balance is this guy. The first scale I used had a 60 second inactivity auto shutoff, and after the second or third time I had to dump a mix because it powered off while I was adding an ingredient, I had to replace it. If you can’t find one without auto shutoff (in your price range or whatever), at minimum the auto shutoff (if it is not possible to disable it) should be after more than 5 minutes of inactivity. That last one is very important, as if you are in the midst of adding an ingredient and the scale powers off, you will likely need to dump the bottle and start over. Relatively quick register of small weight changes.

Large enough capacity to accommodate the weight of the bottle size and liquid capacity you will be mixing.Resolution of not less than 0.01 grams.A scale for DIY mixing should meet the following requirements: You really don’t want to use just any scale either. The most important piece of equipment needed to mix by weight is a digital balance (scale). Mixing by weight requires some specific equipment that mixing by volume does not (though there is some cross over, so don’t worry about having wasted money on equipment if you started mixing by volume). In this post I am going to try to cover everything you need to get started mixing by weight. While this is the most accurate way to mix eLiquid, it is also a bit more complex than mixing by volume. In DIY 101 I outlined the general process of mixing DIY eLiquid, but intentionally left out mixing by weight.
