After lurking here for a bit and slowly assembling my lab I finally sat down and mixed for the first time. The first thing I noticed is my scale is sensitive! Of course I was all excited and didn’t realize I should have slowed down and went drop by drop when I got close to my target weight so I went .04g heavy on the strawberry in my Tiger’s Blood mix but hopefully it won’t affect the mix too much. On my second mix, a Campfire clone I took my time and got it right. I also learned that each pipette drop of PG weighs .02g and each drop of VG weighs .04g so I was able to count out my weight and then wait for the scale to settle it’s reading. I must admit I let out a little “mad scientist” laugh when the scale settled exactly where it should. Anyway, both mixes are stirring and hopefully will be vapable. I’m psyched to find out!
Welcome and congrats. But you should be aware you can’t show chips unless you have enough for everyone.
Good Luck
I have the same scale it is very sensitive it even senses the air blown by my ceiling fan I go over weight by 0. 03 / 0.04 g some times and it doesn’t seem that critical where that made a noticeable difference
We’ve all been there. Several times even. 
Enjoy!
Been sortin out my lab a little bit this mornin…lookin way tidier than it was after yesterdays mixing session 
Something worth mentioning is… WOW!
Many of us started (and most still do) with far less advanced equipment and understanding of technique. To see you doing your first mix by weight, and with not one, but two magnetic stirrers at your station - dude that is just awesome. Not only does it show how effective ELR is for both novice and advanced DIYers, but too that you’ve done a lot of reading, listening to sage advice, and bypassed a lot of the BS most of us had to endure before getting there.
So congrats to you on your first mix, and hats off to ELR community for making it so easy for new mixers to get off on the right foot. I’m just all swole up with pride this morning!!
Well said sir 
🖒
How are you mixing? I just ordered my scale too! I’m excited to start mixing by weight too! I mixed about five recipes with the syringes and its so time consuming that I caved and bought a scale and some bottles for my vg & pg.
Wow! Thats an awesome mixing station!!!
You forgot to mention chips. Mixing gives ya the munchies.
Love your paper towel holder lol, not a single space has gone to waste in this wonderful station! 
yeah it’s actually a safety wire from a stage light lol…waste not want not …
I’m looking into buying an electronic mixer. I found one on amazon. Is it a good idea to use one? Its 57 bucks free shipping for prime.
yeah magmixers are awesome, I don’t always use mine it depends how much time I have but I am mixing a special batch I will, and that price you have there is pretty good 
as long as it’s powerful enough to mix high VG liquids, @ozo is the man to talk to with regards to magmixers, he’s somewhat of an expert on the subject
Where is Ozo?
I don’t honestly know, it’s been a while actually…
He texted me at 1:50AM a few Sunday mornings ago. A nice Led Zepplin lyric.
He was on Facebook 13hrs ago he’s fine
