Tara9 I might also suggest another method. Check out Flvfan.Com and read through her process. This is a very good way go about using mf flavors. The difference is mf is stronger than flv so use 14 or 15 ml testers instead of 10. @anon84779643

I still see no reason to dilute, more reason to get yourself something like this

It wouldnât help you as you would still need to figure out how to put half a drop into the mix 
I donât have any medicine flower, but I do have some flavorah flavours that I only use at 0.10% or less, and in order to actually use them, especially for 10ml testers, there is no other option than to dilute them first.

My limited MF experiences⌠I have only had a few bottles. I used the same process as what I use with FLVâŚ
10ml bottles. 1-2 drops and increase drops when needed. If it is too strong for a 10ml, I suggest a 30ml bottle and again, count your drops needed. 
@anon28032772⌠absolutely! I do use a few different scales but I always make sure they read at least .01g and my ohous scales (.001g) I bought from my lab. There are cheap options out there, but make sure they come with weights to calibrate your scales when needed.

That is indeed a bit of a problem, but the problem with the average 0.01g scale is that even a whole drop doesnât always register on the scale. Most scales actually only start registering after a 0.05g weight.
A much more accurate scale will not improve how you put your drops in the mix but it will give you a more accurate reading and it will help a huge amount for potent flavors.
I donât use 10ml testers anymore for a variety of reasons. Usually my tests are 20-30ml so thatâs another way of having to deal less with those minuscule flavor increments.

Initially I did 10ml tests with the MF. Problem was that 1 or 2 drops was max saturation for my palate before the body of most flavors began to deteriorate. Now the top flavor note is really forgiving and you may not notice the deterioration happening down below. So I had to go to 15ml testers. I think I should stop here cuz the rest wouldnât be helpful to the OP.

Sure, that is also a problem. I have however noticed that as long as you donât tara the weight, it reacts immediately to a single drop, whereas you only get that âstickinessâ if you use the tara button, at least that is how it works on my (cheap Chinese) weight.

You know how you squeeze a bottle or push the syringe and watch that drop form at the tip⌠once you have a full drop, it falls.
If you have about half a drop ⌠just hold the tip so that the liquid touches the inside of your bottle and there you have it, half a drop dispensed

I do agree @xxanalogxxâŚ
I love to go big on my mixing, when mixing so low.
I just do not believe in dilutions. Too many chances for error, especially if not using weight.
Back on topic!

Using a 1ml syringe, you can eliminate both of these problems. A 1ml syringe allows accuracy down to 0.01ml if so desired.

I agee, itâs best not to dilute them,⌠and keep them on the fridge! because you really donât want to risk them spoiling at that price.
But, givn that youâre quite new to mixing, given that that MF extracts do represent a pretty big investment, I suggest buying them pre-diluted in VG from Vapour Depot in the UK . That works out much cheaper per flavour, to try them out. . And their International shipping rates are good.
The only serious drawback is that theyâre presently taking bloody ages to get around to re-stocking!
For further info, do a search on âBotanic Elixirâ . Thatâs the stuff. Theyâre 10% dilutions, so- as others have said- you need to multiply the usual MF percentages by 10 (or move that decimal point ) when you mix with it. And, sadly, iâve found that - insofar as Iâve been able to compare- they still take just as long to steep as the undiluted MF.
