Can anyone recommend some beaker or measuring stuff

[BradersN]

Putting an order in so can mix my own juice later this week.

So far on my list got the syringes, pg and vg, eliquid bottles and all that.

Was originally going with mixing by ml but it seems near impossible to get it right so will go by weight what else do I need.

Sorry for silly question just looking for some reccomendations to get started

Have a look here for your beakers and measuring jugs etc, great place used by a lot of mixers. I presume you have scales?

Yes mate, go by weight, mixing by volume is a complete PITA! Grab some scales like these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-preci...8&qid=1499933760&sr=8-4&keywords=scales+0.01g

I use pyrex beakers and a pyrex stirrer and that's about it really. You can pour out of relatively large mouth bottles for the bulk of the PG and VG and I then have a 30ml dropper of each I use to top up to the final amounts. Nic in a dropper bottle and the concentrates usually come in droppers too.

Those scales will measure up to 500g so by the time you have taken the beaker into account you won't realistically make more than 300ml in one go unless you split each part out into separate beakers. So if you want to make 500ml juice then you would need to put the concentrates (20% = 100ml = roughly 100g) into a 100 or 200ml beaker and then put the PG and VG into a big 500 or 750ml beaker and then pour the concentrate in. Pour the concentrate into the PG / VG mix as the VG makes it gloopier and you get more residue left behind

A couple of pyrex rods here:

Loads of pyrex beakers on Amazon and Ebay so hunt around and get what size works for you and the shipping / total price is the keenest:

Got some scales already. Looking into making 50ml mixes

In that case @BradersN just mix straight into the bottles, much less cleaning up afterwards [emoji1]

I've got the ones @junglist suggested....

I also use gorilla bottles and mix straight into the bottles.

Kingscientific are good for beakers, measuring cylinders and the like.

If you really want beakers, then ibottles are hard to beat on price for plastic one's but the postage can be high so you need to put in a reasonable order to make it worth while.
Lucemill are also good. That's where I get my 150/200ml bottle's from. If you are only doing 50ml at a time though, mix straight into the bottle and just use a small funnel if you want.

Yes will only be looking to make 50ml juices to start with. So will look into getting 3 beakers so can weigh the vg, pg and favouring separate then funnel into the bottle. Thank you all for the replies and hope this thread helps other starters
