First time DIYer

[Brandontf8o8]

So I placed my order for my first batch of DIY juice along with needed supplies and they should be arriving within the week.

Here's a question. Is there any general/best practices when I get my supplies such as boiling to sterilize any droppers or bottles I get and how do I go about cleanup when I'm done mixing?

Do I just rinse them out or do I need to boil them? Getting mixed info here on some sites I've visited.

Any help would be great

I rinse everything with hot water, then let it soak in a big bowl full of hot, soapy water (Dawn dish soap) Then I rinse everything thoroughly in hot water and lay it on paper towels to air dry.

Some go through a "sterilization" process with alcohol, boiling, pure grain alcohol soaks, etc, and that's fine. But I treat my "vape dishes" just like I do my kitchen dishes and I'm not dead yet. Lol! I put my glass bottles in the dishwasher.

Hmm
Ive only been doing this a month or so.

I use a scale so no dropper or nothing. All I have is my bottles. I reuse the same bottle for the same flavor usually, but will rinse it out with some water.
I have a funnel that I use to poor the stuff from the bigger bottles into the smaller bottles. I rinse that out with just water and a paper towel.

How much and how you "sterilize" the stuff you use it up to you. Just depends on how germaphobic and paranoid you are.

That's exactly what I do!

yep yep... was a bit more crazy the first week... (got over it ;p) do about the same for tanks and such when they first get here and to clean em up .. I skip the dawn for the cotton tho haha.. only other thing is for tanks a little bit of 'touch' qtip or toothbrush .. to help with any oily film.

I just rinse everything with water in the bathroom sink after use then dry it with paper towels.
For used bottles, I leave them opened and in a wire basket to dry out.

While mixing, I use a cup of water for my syringes. Suck and squirt water from them a few times between flavors.
Nicotine is added last so the sink rinse is right after.

Not to germaphobic so I guess that makes it easier haha

another couple cool things - use the same syringe / pipette (if u use those) for your nicotine .. i keep a dedicated syringe just for the nic -- and always shake your flavors well b4 you mix.

always shake your flavors well b4 you mix.

And your nic, too.

I do what Teresa and Amanda do. I mix for just myself and my boyfriend.

first do a happy dance, then mix a little juice, and finally vape yourself into a nic coma.

I open them all and smell em when I get flavors in the mail.
