I came to realize my weights are out, making the batch way to strong. For example,

The first flavor, 25 drops weigh about 70gram

I did check my scale, i did make 1 drop = to one gram

I dont have a calibration weight so i took a smurf and i get 43.57g

This site https://batterybro.com/blogs/18650-...e-batteries-part-2-inspecting-the-samsung-25r gets 43.56g

So what am i doing wrong?

I get the same weights in ejuice me up and JuiceCalculator
 
25 drops weighing 70 grams seems well off, if I remember correctly a drop weighs in the region if 0.02 grams depending on the size of the dropper so that calculation seems correct.

Check those weights, 70 grams is around a 60ml bottle. You must be reading it wrong unless you have helluva big drops.
 
The calculator weights are right, it's around 20 drops to a gram. The only thing I can think of is that you inadvertently set the scale to measure in some smaller unit than grams. But your figures don't tally, even if the scale is measuring in grains or carats.

Sure it isn't 0.7g?

"I did check my scale, i did make 1 drop = to one gram"
It should be 1ml = ±1g for pg/flavouring

The recipe is also a total of 26% flavouring which is quite high.
 
Yeah agreed, you have to be reading it wrong. A smurf can't weigh just over half 20 drops :--P
 
Did you mix in a glass bottle. That 70g might be the weight of the bottle?

I spoke wrong sorry. they are set to1 gram=1ml. I use to have them at 0.96 but i also get the grams to high

Its the only one that I know. I have your recipe calculated on it and it all looks good. I just dont know how to copy and paste it to you.
 
From the usual VV and BV 10 ml bottles I have measured out to about 60 drops per ml.
