Hi all,

Being the dork that I am, I've developed a software application for creating and storing e-juice recipes. It's nothing fancy, just something I put together in my spare time. It will make amount calculations based on what percentage of each ingredient you want in your recipe. You can use 2 nicotine liquids and up to 3 flavorings currently (I may open it up and make it more flexible in the future.. but this is a 1.0 product haha). It will also print out the recipe (personally I think it looks better than a spread sheet. The screen shot below shows what it will look like.) and you can give it your own color scheme if you so choose haha

I got frustrated with all the excel spread sheets floating around because I don't have excel installed at home and open office only works SOMETIMES haha. This application doesn't require anything except the Windows operating system and it's a pretty small app. Sorry Mac users, it's unlikely it will work for you, but you can try it if you have windows emulation of some sort. Below are some screen shots of the interface. I tried to keep it simple and relatively self explanatory but there's a help menu with basic instructions if you need it. It's geared more toward the person that's just getting into DIY mixing or someone that want's to keep track of bunches of recipes vs. some hard core commercial mixing operation.

I've tested this on XP and Vista and it's working great, but from my experience as a developer, you tend to look for certain things and the programmer doesn't necessarily make the best tester, so PLEASE let me know if you have any issues with the installation or use. I would appreciate any feedback you give me. For now I'm considering this a beta release, but you shouldn't have any major issues.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, it is downloadable from this link:

Easy E-Juice Recipe Creator

Please remember that this is a BETA release and may have a bug or two that I'm hoping you all can flush out for me haha...

This looks really interesting and I just bought some LoriAnn's flavors. I know zip about all this(s).

I'll send you an PM.

OK, I'm sure I'm asking an obvious question, but what is the vodka for...to kill bacteria?

The vodka serves 2 purposes actually..it increases throat hit a bit and it helps to thin VG. if your not using VG you probably don't need vodka. It's always an optional thing, just like water. I never use water but some people do. If you're like me and you don't use PG at all (other than the Nicotine liquid) sometimes it needs to be thinned out a bit to get the right viscosity.

Wow, I've gotten more of a response than I thought I would (I was only expecting VIP folks) so I'm going to see if I can find some place to host the file for download by the end of the day (assuming I can get a freebee somewhere haha). If I can find something, I'll post the link in here for anyone that's interested. If not, I'll have to fall back on my original plan of emailing it to people, so, if you're someone that wants this please include an email address when you request the app!
