As a general rule donât F with any of the Females on this site. They need no rescue from us Men Folks âŚau contraire mon frère 
On the origins of the word âsteepingâ⌠E-juice DIY is similar to other home-brew âhobbiesâ and as such shares many Brewing Enthusiasts and their more ancient lexicon. Raise your hand if you have made your own âbeerâ at home.
So to help welcome @VPC âŚBrewers historically referred to the âsteepingâ of the primary recipe of solids and liquids âŚa process that involved patient (and precise!) mixing and then waiting on extraction and fermentation as key success factors.
Clarity: when you make a cup of tea you are steeping.
when you put a whisky in a barrel you are aging.
Technically YOU ARE CORRECT, but you must also consider Modern DIY Juicemakers are cheating by using flavoring extracts, so we get to skip any actual steeping. There is Cultural resistance to give up âThe Steepâ as this has been the life-long hard-won secret science which separates the Men from the Monks (Trappist).
We can get a little competitive, but we exercise restraint to enjoy the benefits of sharing âŚso welcome aboard âŚand refer to it as steeping moving forward hahha

4weeks or more. Well Iâm more at 8. That way I can let my mixes sit 4-6. I mix every two weeks. But sometimes I wait to the 3rd week.

If you get a new scale, will you be looking to sell the old one? Let me know if you do!

It might cost her more to ship it than you could buy yourself. The 100 gram .01mg scales are very inexpensive âŚlike under 10 bucks I think. Iâm trying to think of a place you could purchase locally âŚmaybe someone else could advise. Home Brew beer supply store? Usually sold as âJewelry Scalesâ âŚmaybe even Walmart âŚprobably in the Craft Dept

Good to know!! Thank you!! I could probably get on on Amazon with Prime and have it shipped free. I wasnât really thinking about how much the shipping would cost. But more of, âhey, if she is going to sell her scale, and I need oneâŚâ

there are some pitfalls with scales and reasons theyâre cheap. Battery powered scales can auto power off after 30 seconds etc⌠You also want a scale that can measure down to .01 âŚNOT just .1 especially if youâre planning to get a 100gram scale to save $$ Hereâs one (Prime) I think most people like AWS brand scales âŚI have one (500g)

When I first started I had maybe three or four 30ml bottles of juice on handâŚnow itâs more like a liter at any given time. As far as vaping goes, everything has increased ten-fold since I first started.
Iâve got issues

I have a digital postal scale somewhere around here. It plugs in. I have to find it and see what options it has. It may actually be just what I need. I forgot that I had it!

Thank you!! Like I just mentioned, I might have a scale that will work. I need to pull it out and see how it works and the options it offers. Thank you again! Actually @VapeyMama wanted one that weighs more than 100 grams. I donât mix very large batches yet.

Nope, just plugged in my scale. It measure in grams, but only 1 gram and higher, no decimals. It goes up to Kilograms.

This looks like a great deal. Thank you! I am not in a rush. Would you all say that going by weight is much faster than volume?
Sorry go get off the topic of this post!!

I love mixing by weight. For me, clean up is the biggest reason for mixing by weight. When I mixed by volume, I usually didnât make more than three recipes because of the clean up. Although I am a slow mixer and easily distracted, I find that mixing by volume is quicker. Today I mixed 8 recipes by weight in about the same time it took me to mix 3 by volume and clean up.
Amazon Prime is your friend. Get yourself a good scale that can weigh at least up to 500 grams at 0.01g increments. You might not make big batches yet, but you probably will at some point and then end up buying another scale if you get a smaller capacity one.

Very fine advice friend. I guess Iâll give my small unused scale to the Mexican drug cartel lol

What kind of scale is it. How much would you like for it?

Thank you, great advice. I found a thread about this that I was reading. It seems that as long as I dont mix under 10ml, which I donât, I will do well with a scale. @VapeyMama told me this a few days ago too!
