I can't bring myself to try the geometric dilution or whatever it's called. I've seen it done on video, but they used a white powder and a red powder and ended up with a pinkish powder. That's cool but what about when you have 2 white powders? And even if I were to get the mixing part right. The way my capsule machine works how would I ensure that each capsule has the same amount of powder? Do I tamp it down? Do I not tamp it down? Do I weigh the empty capsule and then the full capsule to ensure it's consistent. I've weighed empty capsules and they vary by 5 or so mg within the same batch of caps. Not enough to make a huge difference but enough to drive me crazy.
The way I cap it's tedious but I feel more comfortable doing it this way. And know that it's fairly accurate or at least accurate enough to not bother me.
I have these little antistatic measuring spoons, they hold anywhere from 8mg to 12mg of material depending on the size of the powder. I take my raws I scoop up a little(usually 2 scoops I usually aim for 20mg caps) I throw it into a .001 scale to just visually see what 20 to 25mg looks like. Once I have a decent enough idea what it looks like I load up my capsule machine and just scoop the desired amount. Now like I said, it's tedious but I feel like it works for me. I then fill it with whatever (creatine mostly) tamp it down fill it some more then put then together. I made about 144 var (machine loads 24 caps at a time, so six go arounds) caps the other day. Took a couple hours, but that's for 8 weeks of var.
Now the caps may be off slightly. I may accidently grab what would be considered a "heaping" spoonful vs a leveled spoonful, or I might have some raws that are sitting on the long part of the spoon and not the actual scoop part. But I can't imagine it being off by more than 5 or 10mg if that.
If I were making it for my girl lets say, if probably just go the solution route and use 100% Everclear, and as little raws as I can get to dissolve. Just got accuracy sake. But for me. If I'm accidentally taking 25mg of var instead of 20, or 17mg instead of 20 I don't think it'll make or break me.
