You can go without a scale, but for small volumes you would then need 1 ml syringes. The ejuice calculator will take into account that the concentrates are PG based. If you use the readymix your final juice will no longer be 50/50. Maybe buy a 40PG/60VG readymix to get closer to 50/50 after you have added the concentrates, but you will not be able to get exactly 50/50 most times, but should be good enough.Is a scale a necessity though? As I see they are about R350, would probably buy that in the future. But starting out and making small 10ml bottles, is it necessary? Can I not just use a syringe to measure or would that be inaccurate? Also one more question. Since the flavour has a PG base and I want to end up with a final 50/50 flavour. The ejuice calculator tells me to add 45 PG and 55 VG, but I want to purchase a 50/50 PG/VG readymix from valley vapour. So how would I do this? Would it be an issue? Thanks for your input!
For instance for a 10ml bottle the ejuice calculator will tell me 4ml PG and 5ml VG, but its a readymix so I don't see how that is probable.
At quantities that small I usually don't care 100% about accuracy. When testing up new batches I have a bottle of 70/30 or 80/20 premix ready to go. I usually start off with 5% testing of any new flavor I get on its own, I know where the mark is on my 5ml glass bottles. In the end its not exactly 70/30 anymore, a little bit off, but I don't mind all that much. Its just for tasting after all. Saves me some time.For instance for a 10ml bottle the ejuice calculator will tell me 4ml PG and 5ml VG, but its a readymix so I don't see how that is probable.
If I am correct the calculation takes into account that the concentrates are pg based thus if aiming for 10% flavouring in a 50/50 mix yes it would be 4 ml pg and 5 ml pg as the 10% flavour is already 100%pg thus totalling 10mlFor instance for a 10ml bottle the ejuice calculator will tell me 4ml PG and 5ml VG, but its a readymix so I don't see how that is probable.

Hot damn I didn't even know experilab still existed. Loved that place as a kid. I might need to pay them a visitGenerally, using 10 % (PG-based) flavour with 90% premix will end up at 55:45 PG:VG. 20 % flavour will give you 60:40... etc. It still is fine for experimenting, especially if you dont know yet whether you will stick with DIY in the long run. In that same vein, while using a scale makes your life ten times easier, starting with volume-based measurements will give you a better understanding of what you are doing without overwhelming you.
For volume based mixing, you will need:
Bottles (such as old and rinsed e-juice bottles)
A 10 ml syringe for pg/vg additions (make sure that it fits the pg/vg bottle)
A few 1 ml syringes for flavour additions
Nitrile gloves (at least in the beginning, for safety).
Alternatively, you can mix into a flask, and you can use volumetric cylinders (measuring cylinders) to measure your pg/vg. It will make for more dishwashing though.
You can find most of this at Dischem. Alternatively,you can buy a lot of lab-grade equipment from kids' science shops, such as the wonderful www.experilab.co.za (in PTA) area. This way you dont have to bother with potential wholesale issues with glassware suppliers.
If you are going for DIY in the long run, investing in a scale,a few syringes and separated VG, PG and nicotine is defintely worthwhile.
The starter kits provided by Skyblue Vaping is really not a bad choice for a no-fuss start.

I know how u feel @Viper_SA I just bought raspberry 100ml from VV and waiting for blckvapour to bring in the other flavours so I can mix up rhodonite,can only wait nowSeeing as VV doesn't have stock of all the ingredients, I was wondering if one of the diy guys with stock might mix up a 100ml Rhodonite for me? For a small fee and shipping of course.
Agg sorry, I'm our of Fuji, Raspberry...Seeing as VV doesn't have stock of all the ingredients, I was wondering if one of the diy guys with stock might mix up a 100ml Rhodonite for me? For a small fee and shipping of course.
You think that is depressing? I have well over 100 concentrates and just spent over 2k on concentrates and PG VG but I also have quite a few flavours missing for Rhodonite.Seeing as VV doesn't have stock of all the ingredients, I was wondering if one of the diy guys with stock might mix up a 100ml Rhodonite for me?

Anyone able to clone torus? Or have a sour worms recipe?
