Hi All!
Newb to mixing, measuring, and steeping in attendance...
How do you accurately mix and measure flavorings into unflavored PG/VG/Nic base? (think small batches 10 mL or so)
and if you are making bulk (100mL) unflavored nic base from PG/VG/Nic base, how long do you need to steep it/ how do you mix it to make sure that all the bases are thoroughly mixed?
Here's my idea: make 10% to 25% concentrated solutions of a flavoring... let it steep, then dilute the concentrated solutions into desired percent solutions (i.e. 5%, 10%, 1%, etc...) So, if I were to make 10mL a 20% concentrated solution how do you measure 2mL of flavorings into 8mL of unflavored base? I see a lot of recipes that say use 40 drops of this or that, and it just doesn't sit right with my inner chemist. heh. Am I being overly OCD?
what methods or tools do you use to measure, mix, and steep?
