I am having trouble with my understanding some of the calc.If I have a 50/50 VG/PG base, how do I do the drops for the PG less than the VG drops?Like the calc calls for.
No Just don't understand the calc. it has you put in the PG/VG base and nic all as one.Then tells you to put in the 3 seperate at the bottom ie:the recipe.I am guessing because the flavor is PG based it is cutting the PG down to keep the 50/50But the base I have is 50/PG 50/VG no way to reduce the drops for PG
Did not catch the PDF, see it now will study it some.I had planned on useing the ml for anything over the 5ml test mixBut still don't get how to change the amount when the PG/VG is together.IN the PDF it has .83ml PG or 17 drops 70% and 1.5ml VG or 30 drops 30%Guess I need to find a calc. that does the bases as one or buy the VG/PG not mixedThanks for the help
The calc wants different amounts of the PG & VG if they are together how can you put a lower amount of PG?
Not Yet LOLMaybe I am not on the same page.Is the base and the nic 2 different things or does all the base have nic in them.I am thinking you put X amount of PG and X amount of VG and X amount of Nic.Not sure how to Explain....at the bottom under Ingredient on the PDF it has PG 70% - 0.83ml - 17drops - 16.6% of Total andVG 30% - 1.5ml - 30drops - 30% of Total2 diff. amounts but the base I have is 50/50 PG/VG mixed together then I have 48mg niccan not reduce the PG with it aready mixed at 50/50
What do you mean.....I can't use it in the calc or I can't use it at all?
So I think I may have it Are you talking about playing with the PG/VG % at the bottom under Ingredient?
Hello, I have no idea if this is the correct way to post here. Just joined and cannot find the post button on top or bottom of screen as the help file indicates should be there so I will give this a shot. My question is about the calculator. I am going to be using 100mg 100%pg. When I start my recipe I am not sure what to put on the top for the first three questions. Can someone please help me? Feel free to email me or post here but I probably might not be able to get back here. lol Have a blessed day.
Hello and thank you very much. So since I will be using 100pg nic In the three boxes I would put 100pg 0vg and 100mg nic. Correct??
I think I understand it correctly now but . . to be sure:If I had a higher beginning Nic solution - then my problems would be resolved? Is that right? I started with a PG based bot of Nic 36 ml. Then I added equal % of VG thinking that would make mixing easier, but I still have the original (some left without VG mixed in), and when I input that data in the top line (Nic strength) with the corresponding strength adjusted back to 36 instead of 18 - I still find the same problem? It doesn't make any difference which solution I place in the top line or "Nic Strength" ?
A thought: If I add now an "equal" amount of PG to the nic base which I diluted with an equal portion of VG which resulted in a 50/50 PG/VG solution, then I'd end up with a Nic base of 66.6% PG/ 33.3 VG - right? I originally mixed 60 ml's each of the PG based Nic with 60 ml of VG. If I now add 60 more ml of PG - then I'd have the 66/33 mix as stated. Now - would that help with my recipee's?
Yes I put 75 nic - 84 PG/VG - 40 flavI am going to use ml but I don't have a way to masure that way yet....So I thought I would do a small mix with drops
First I want to say: I'm sorry if I've interrupted a discussion with a question of my own. I can't find the "new message" tab either on top of the forum or the bottom so that is my first question?? But, I'm having trouble with the calculator myself - always needing to add more PG after the "warning" box appears once I click "calculate" I've described as I know best below. Again, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the middle of a thread?I am attempting for the first time to mix my own ejuice using the e-juice me up calculator. I have 36 ml. PG nic which I cut in half by mixing it with the exact same amount of VG. So, now I have a nic base which is 50/50 PG - VG. I put that data in the top line of the calc. and in doing so, rather than typing in the original strength of 36 - I cut it in half since I cut the nic base in half till I ended up with a nic base of 18, which I put in the last box on the top line. I then established I wanted to end up with a nic level of 12 ml. Then I added my flavors: Blueberry -16%, and sweetener - 4%. (both are 100% PG). Then I type in the "target box" = 45% PG, 55% VG. I then hit calculate and like so many other recipees I've tried, I get the message warning that I don't have enough PG??? I have a equal mix of PG/VG in my Nic base, and then all the other additives are PG, and then I choose to end up with the mix being 55% VG and YET - I get the warning there's not enough PG??? I don't understand? To correct it I need to reduce the VG level down till it is 46% instead of the 55% which I want? It just doesn't add up to me??? I'm adding more PG than VG in the batch and yet the program demands I add more PG? The program does instruct I add more VG = 22 drops I guess to counter the 20 ml of PG Flavors in order to get to the 55 VG level, but shouldn't it just require I add less VG to balance the mix? I've played with the settings some and the only way I can get a 55% VG is to make my NIC level = 10 ml.. What can I do perhaps to the NIC BASE to make my recipees come out right? Should I add more PG or VG to it? Help me to make sense of this please!
(sorry if this has been asked or explained before)Just curious why one cannot open recipe files as one would any other file type (that I'm aware of) by double clickin'; i.e., how come you can only do so from within the software itself? Not sure 'bout anyone else, but since I started DIY 4 months ago, I most always have a bunch of recipes open at a time and go back and forth between them, so it is a li'l cumbersome to open them this way.I know it takes a minimal amount of time, but unfortunately, one of my pet peeves is wasting time on anything, so 's just been buggin' me and thought I'd finally do some research and see if I could figure out a solution/workaround. Any thoughts/input appreciated!
Guess I'm a Dumb Dumb.. ? http://breaktru.com/smf/Smileys/aaron/scared.gifNic Base is 100%vg 50mg Flavs are (ALC) no VG/PG.. planing on letting it breathe to remove the Alcohol.I assume I'll need to add a small amount of distilled water to thin it ? 1% water..my end result will be 100% VG there is no PG nor do i want it in my recipe.. I think the VG should be 99% + my 1% water ?It showing -Neg PG
