Look at what I mean, it says 36.31 grams but that does not fit at all in the bottle lol. and if I measure in ml the content of the bottle it gives me 35ml. There is something strange here…
Is your VG thinned with distilled water? VG weighs in at 1.261 g/ml, but if it’s aqueous VG it will be much lighter, and your mix is going to be off…

Nope , not thinned at all. Well, I personaly do not thin it, could I buy it already thinned ?? I only have Coop Coco 99.5% at home, dont know if they do…

If you’re going to be mixing by weight, the grams should always have a higher total than the ml of the bottle. This is primarily caused by the weight of the VG. You shouldn’t be worried about that. I will say though, the final amount should always fit in the bottle amount specified.
I’m going to go on a limb here and say that the reason your final amount is not fitting into the bottle specified is because you do not have a scale that has an accuracy to the hundredth of a gram (0.01g). On a scale that has accuracy to the tenth of a gram (0.1g), it will use rounding to round up or down to the nearest tenth of a gram. Therefore it creates a problem with how accurate you can get with each flavoring. Maybe a little more of a flavor or a little less than should actually be in it.
Although, I can’t say I see it contributing enough to not be able to fit in the bottle.

I’m not saying they do, but asking if they do hehehe. They are a good company, I don’t think it would be good for business.

Possibly but you wouldn’t think so since one tenth of a gram is very little. Possibly missed it but was it mentioned that the scale was calibrated? If not maybe we should suggest that…
Yeah, after thinking about it for a few hours. The amount of accuracy being off with a hundredth of a gram shouldn’t be close to the amount needed not to fit in the bottle. At this point, like you said @ringling the only other possibility at this point is to make sure the scale is calibrated. Ever since I’ve mixed by weight, I can’t recall a time my final amount never fit into the bottle I was mixing for.
@Madvape Did your scale come with the calibration weights?

No but I did buy some off Amazon also, and it’s spot on.
Not quite sure what it could be then, I know if I fill my glass 15ml bottles with 15ml of liquid that it is hard for me to put the dropper in the bottle and actually close it. I mix my 15ml glass mainly for test flavors now and around 10ml. More air in the bottle also helps the steeping process.
I would recommend getting the other scale though for sure.
Hmmm, well sounds like all the bases are covered. Heck I’m sitting here thinking of weird situations now. Are you mixing high in the mountain, perhaps below sea level. Dude, you got me stumped, UNLESS…
The two last items you see here. Are yours set as mine in your profile. If they are then I have no more ideas unless someone is shorting you on bottle space…

All settings are the same man, I’m outta ideas. Receiving new scale tomorow, 500g with 0.01gr accuracy. I’ll make a recipe from scratch and post video or pics of every step, maybe you guys will find what the heck I am doing wrong.

Make sure you calibrate that one too, it comes with 2x 200g weights to do so. The manual says how to calibrate it.
Post a small 5-6 minute video of you mixing a bottle from start to finished product.
Who knows, you could get the other scale, mix a bottle and not even have the same problem

I have a question, are you absolutely SURE you hit TARE (Zero out Scale) before each ingredient is added? Especially after you put the bottle on the scale. Here’s my process…
Place bottle on scale - Zero out scale
Add VG - Zero out scale
Add PG - Zero out scale
Add Flavor - Zero out scale
Repeat add flavor for multiple flavors and repeat zero scale afterward for each
Add Nicotine
Remove bottle, you’re finished !!!
I actually syringe Nic since I blend for a shop. Can’t take the chance of going over accidently. Is this your procedure above?

Another question, Have you weighed finished product and bottle minus bottle? In other words does it truly weigh 36.31 grams (or at least very close) ? Do this since you can not fit the juice in the bottle…

Go to hobby lobby and get a pack of these (150ml). Weigh a empty bottle before you start. Mix your recipe. Then weigh finished juice and bottle. Subtract bottle weight. If that weight is correct then the bottles you are using are not 30ml bottles. Solved. If the weight is incorrect then we need to continue to look elsewhere…

Bottles like this are also great for pg or vg when using a scale. I did upgrade to a larger bottle for vg.
I use these to mix juice batches. Yes much bigger for VG and PG. Heck a good portion of my flavor bottles are larger then these too…

Ho dear…no lol.
I placed the bottle on the scale then turn it on, it’s at zero then add everything up…Ill try it your way.

You would think this would be fine as long as it is at zero. Just trying to cover all bases…
