Okay Got My Scale In... Now What?

P.S. For thick VG [bought in bulk] I use a plastic squeeze bottle made in LDPE.
All are not equally suitable for this task [VG]. Some are nice, with a twist cap, and
work well with PG, but the opening is limited to what it is.
I prefer the Vestil brand with the snap on/off red tip cap, found easily on Amazon.
If you need a faster flow, you can use your pocket knife to trim the tip back for
a larger, faster flow. In 6oz or 8oz size they are easy to handle and easily refillable.

I haven’t even started mixing yet! [my first big order is on it’s way, been watching the tracking order all day :smiley: ] - But I already know how to use a scales [That I have yet to order] after watching both the video posted above and the one from New Amsterdam vape

I second that opinion

I have the AWS Blade scale that I love using and also purchased off of Amazon my scale only reads to the tenths and has 2 AAA batteries and I do not have a option to plug it in unfortunately. But nun the less I still love it maybe one day I will purchase a scale the reads to the hundredths.

Cool, nice reminder of when I began to mix. Just a few days after my comment above. And I did get a scales, use it all the time. So handy

time to weigh in. lmao.

Actually time to start a more precise mixing method.

I want to make just concord grape with stevia. any ideas? I got my scale today. Now I have to figure out how to use it. listed singularly its in %'s not weights. Ugh.

maybe this will help on how to use the scale. You want the % https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFJ_YFe-8bw

@SessionDrummer If you go under the flavor itself, it tells you how what the minimum usage / median usage / max usage has been for the single flavor. That’s in %'s. The only way I know how to figure out grams from %'s is to preform a spreadsheet and calculate the ml of juice I’m going to make by the specific weight of the flavor.

its under %tages in recipes

That way I have the weight for each 1/4 % converted into grams.

Have you used the recipe side to create/add any recipes yet? ml, grams, %…

@anon70102222 I’ve looked at. I can’t find a specific recipe for the single flavor I want to use. I only want 1 flavor. I saw the preferred single flavor mix % but I’d have to work up to that level. That would have to be based on %'s not g or mg. It makes no sense to use a scale if I’m doing %'s.

let the calc do all this work for u unless u dont trust the spec. gravities in the database. Switch your drops to mg in the user setting in case u did while not having a scale and rock. Gl to u!

Sorry, but that’s my thoughts on your reply. I don’t understand what you are trying to say.

I can do a spreadsheet that will take the specific weight of a flavor for the bottle size (- the pg/vg) and work up a % chart that way but that’s not going to be fun.

If it’s been provided by the manufacturer, it’s usually listed. As in the second screenshot above.

That’s called tare, as I assume you know.

I don’t mean to. I just don’t quite comprehend the situation I suppose.

I trust it. I guess I have to figure out how to switch the preferred single flavor mix% to g? it offers weight in grams per ml. is that where you use put the grams of liquid you use? or do you add your % and it configures where it says weight in grams per ml?

this wouldn’t be the final figure. It’s working the flavor up so you can begin to taste it and move forward until you can taste the full flavor (in case I mess it up).
