First WEIGHED diy

[Steelgirl]

Hi, I broke down and bought a little kitchen scale that some folks here recommended. Admittedly, my first diy using weight was unflavored with a hint of... (Kettle Corn in this case) But still, I can see this being a quick, easy way for when I do make an actual recipe. There was virtually no clean up - YEAH !!! Except for the turkey baster I had to use to get VG from it's original container into a squirt bottle. I couldn't find my funnel.. I found it after I was finished and didn't need it anymore - naturally.

Tasty stuff that unflavored 70vg/30pg with a hint of kettle corn. Just a smidgen of 24 nicotine base also.

I just wish the juice Me Up calculator had a way to convert MLs to grams.

Take care all...

Deb

The lack of a Sink Full of stuff to wash is a Huge Plus to Me.

And makes using a Scale Totally Doable.

Way to go Deb.

Yep, gotta love the easy clean-up, congrats.

Also, the version of "ejuice juice me up" that I use does do grams, (15.4.1).

Thank you for that tip. I'll check it out.

I've said it before, some day we are going to look back and say "Remember when people use to DIY using syringes and graduated cylinders, what a drag that was."

I believe you have to enter the specific gravity of your ingredients, otherwise it won't output weights.

Yeah you do have to enter the weights for each ingredient (ie pg, vg, flavor, nic) there is a window for that.

I have an older version of ejuice juice me up, to update do I need to delete the old version first? I've saved my recipes to another drive, so that won't be a problem if necessary.

I installed over the old version, without deleting. Current version is 15.4.3.0
I don't have any saved recipes, so not sure how that would work.

 

[oplholik]

I just downloaded 15.6.1.

 

[JimDrock]

I haven't upgraded since I got my version, so I'm not sure how that would work, tho it would be a safe move to make a backup of your recipe folder before doing anything.

 

[sketchness]

I upgraded and it saved all my recipes. Though we know that sometimes Windows doesn't play well with others.....

I have yet to open the saved Juice Me Up recipes.
I get the message, "Windows cannot open this file", & then a choice of using the "web service" to find an appropriate program or selecting a program from a list.
Neither route seem to work. Is it because I'm still using Windows XP?

PS To keep this thread on track-- I just started DIY using a scale thanks to the advice on this forum. I give thanks to those who blazed the trail.

Have you tried using the "Open With" feature by Right Clicking on a File?

Then selecting the Juice Me Up program from the list.

Yes, but none of the listed files open it.
Do you know what program Juice Me Up uses?

 

[EverPresentNoob]

I open them from inside the Ejuice me up app. File/open.... but if I use windows explorer to navigate to the saved folder they wont open that way. I believe it has to be done from inside the app.

Thanks, I'll play that area.

edit- Tried it & got the same list of program choices that failed earlier.

 

[JimDrock]

Yeah same here, the only way i have opened a recipe is within the program itself <file> <open>.

JimDrock--It worked! Thank You
& Thanks to EverPresentNoob & zoiDman.

Cool. Sounds like you Back in Business.

BTW - I keep my Recipes on my Computer also. But I have a Hard-Copy Backup of my All Time Favorites. Just incase something goes Completely South computer-wise.
