Default Ejucie calculator (added quantity calculations)

Hey everyone!
Ok so there I was trying to calculate how much VG I needed to add to my PG 36mg nic juice to make 13mg nic juice. I had 473ml and was trying to figure out how much VG was needed to get to 13mg total. And how much would be produced. After my head started to hurt, LOL I added this simple calculation to the ejuice excel file. Thought it might come in handy. But if you just want the formula here it is.

X = 36mg starting nic %
Y = 13mg Target nic %
X1 = Quantity of nic juice
Y1 = Needed quantity of plain VG or PG

Y1 = ((X / Y) * X1) - X1

Total quantity to be made = X1 + Y1

Or you can just plug your number in on the calculator

Here it is -----> New Ejuice Calculator Updated link to v3 <-------

Well I thought it might come in handy for someone.

Oh yeah here is a screenie:


Enjoy!
Dan

So basically if you had 40ml of 18mg and 50ml of 24mg and were wanting to make 60 ml of 12mg how much of each would you need to add along with the plain PG, correct?

Not really...

X = 1st nic level 24
Y = 2nd nic level 18
Z = target nic level 12

Z1 = unknown nic modifier

Z1 = ((X + Y) / 2) / Z ...... 1.75 = ((24 + 18) / 2) / 12

30ml to be made would be 30 / 1.75 = 17.14ml nic juice needed
so 30 - 17.14 = 12.85 needed plain PG/VG

So you would use the same amount of X and Y and then add in the unknown PG based on the Z1 modifier to get Z.

Capice?

Default Ejuice calculator version 3

Ok,
VaporX here is what I did, I added a new section the allows you to enter two different nicotine jucie quantites and mg strengths, and it calculates the new mg strength based on the # of ml and mg%.

Now you can take that number and use it as your base number in the original section and set up the target nic level and it will give you the appropriate recipie.

I hope this will help you

Here is a screenie:


I hope it illustrates what you are trying to accomplish.

Here is the latest version ejuice_calculatorV4

I added some visual cues to help people undersand the third block of calculations. This will help with people buying 54mg ejuice and wanting to convert it to say 12mg. It will tell you the bulk PG/VG required based on the ml on hand. And as always only the "White" blocks is where you enter your data.
Here is a screenie:


Enjoy,
Dan

Default Oh my....

Now I remember why I flunked Algebra!! Is there anyway you could give a simple gal a simple method Scubabatdan? I want to buy a 36ml menthol ejuice and separate it into 3 bottles to make 12ml juice. How much PG or VG would I add to each bottle? I admire your ejuice calculator greatly, but can't get a clue from it. Hats off to those of you who "get this". I sure wish I did so then I wouldn't have to feel so dumb.
