I'm a moron. Just wasted 800mL
submitted over 7 years ago by DNags

So I got a new order in today, and mixed up 800mL of 8 new juices I've been excited to try. After a couple hours, I added the nic and was glad to be finished. Then I realized I think I grabbed a dirty graduated cylinder off my desk - last night I had used it measure out a bunch of different chemical solutions doing a project for my chem class.

I just dumped all 800mL down the drain, as I'm not trying to vape potassium iodate or manganese sulfate. I think I might cry.

Should have vaped it anyway. Apparently some people take manganese for osteoporosis? You could have had an unbreakable skeleton, and instead you freaked out. You ruined your one chance for a lab accident that was going to give you superpowers. Enjoy your mediocrity, pleb.

I think you're onto something. Mutagenicity = superpowers

Is it just the nic that's strictly forbidden?

The real question is, why are you using a graduated cylinder to mix juice?

by Dag613over 7 years ago

That's what I'm wondering. Grab a scale bud will save you so much headache and time.

Realer question: why was a dirty graduated cylinder left overnight?

I only recently got into using a scale. Mixed by volume for about 2 years before that and in that time gathered a huge collection of syringes, cylinders, measuring cups, etc.

Mixing by weight IS way better and easier but sometimes people just stick with what they know.

I think my biggest question in this thread is why you would use the same labware for mixing diy juice that you use for lab projects with dangerous chemicals.

Well I obviously didn't intend to. Picked up a new cylinder for this chem project, but absent-mindedly picked it up instead of my DIY one cuz I'm an idiot.

by DNagsover 7 years ago

I've just always done it that way. I'm a semi-broke college student, looked at the scale as something I want, but didn't absolutely need. I recoup money spent on DIY by selling to some friends. How much time does mixing by weight save if you had to estimate?

6 points
 
by Grorcoover 7 years ago

It saves you almost the full time spent mixing by volume. It's rediculously fast to do with 0 clean up. Takes me longer to find the flavors I'm looking for than anything.

I started out mixing by weight (which is what everyone should do). But just imagine using a scale and mixing straight into the bottle. Then you are done.

by DNagsover 7 years ago

Hmmmm so do you just TARE back to zero after each ingredient? Shit that sounds easy... guess I should try it, especially since I have 8 juices I gotta remake. Can you recommend a scale < $40-50?

by strangeaover 7 years ago

Like literally all the time. Cut my mixing from 10-15m using volume to like 2-3m by weight. The majority of that 2-3m is prep and cleanup.

If you start mixing by weight you wouldn’t need a graduated cylinder. A nominal $30 investment

Word of advice before you get started, make sure you have a lot of pipettes or all of your flavors are in bottles with dropper tops.

Yeh I’ll second this... easily found on Amazon as well. Last time I ordered 500+ I think and it was so cheap I don’t even remember how much they cost.

by padishar123over 7 years ago

Buy a box of 1 ml pipettes and another of 3 ml. They are dirt cheap on Amazon. I also keep vg and pg in a 30 ml dropper bottle for adding small amounts. I also keep vg in a large squeeze bottle for large amounts. I only use pipettes for individual flavors or flavor bases.

In terms of accuracy follow the calibration directs each time you mix. Ie let the scale warm up for several minutes before calibration. I hold a 0.03 tolerance on flavors and allow a 0.2 tolerance on vg and pg for speed reasons.

Yikes, better lost 800ml than risking neuro damage.

Nnnnooooo, well hey at least you caught it before and not halfway through the batch. Better safe than poisoned. Make another one!

Dang man that sucks but I’m glad you realized what happened before you started vaping that juice.

by strangeaover 7 years ago

Why 100mL on juices you don't know if you like? What if they sucked? I always mix a 30mL first to try.

Why would you mix 100ml of a new juice you've never tried before? And why would you do it 8 times?

6 points
 
by DNagsover 7 years ago

They were all popular mixes I hadn't tried yet like ID10-T's cinnamon roll apple danish and piña colada, Best Damn Pink Lemonade, Dinner Lady Lemon Tart, etc. Stuff that I'd wager I'll like. And if I don't like something, plenty of friends would happily buy 100mL of whatever for a few bucks. I don't have a ton of free time to mix, so when I do I make a lot.

I did the same thing when I first started DIY. Just picked 3 of the top rated mixes in 3 of my favorite flavor profiles and mixed up 100s of em. I figured if I didn’t like it I could sell it to a friend or just save em for a rainy day when I was out of juice and needed SOMETHING.

But all the top rated mixes I have ever mixed up I like or LOVE. I mean fuck, I’m gonna love any type of caramel mix.

I left 250ml of The Glazed Doughnut By Brin Nutz for 2 months because I couldn't stand the yeasty flavour from the FA Joy. When I came back to it the yeasty flavour was mostly gone, and I added some TPA Banana Cream... It's one of my new favourite recipes.

Happy accidents.

Oh no not the pina colada! :( You could have sent that to me instead of pouring it out, I don't mind a little mutagen

I really need to mix this, I mixed something based off yours as my first mix, but messed up that flavor order. I have all the flavors now, actually I'm going to mix it right now. I got a brand new 30ml uni with it's name on it :)

Edit: Noooooo! I was wrong I thought I had ordered what I was missing 😫

What kind of chemistry projects do you have where you're mixing at home?

by DNagsover 7 years ago

Briggs–Rauscher reaction. Extra credit project to do something like this on your own. I just started the class last week but I had the stuff for it from a chem set I got as a gift like 10 years ago. So I figured fuck it, I'll definitely need the points down the road.

Oooohhh. Send me that recipe please!

I did the same with a banana cream recipe I found. Shake and vape and the first week that thing tastes like OVERPOWERED banana smarty. Left it for a month and came back and the creams took over more and mellowed it all out. One of my favorite ADV now.
