Thanks for that! Is this your calculator and did you just add it or was it already there?
Trust me, the results you're getting from a $10 scale are way more accurate than using a syringe or counting drops
I've been testing this scale next to a scale at the lab and it's surprisingly accurate and consistent and like zoiDman already said; what level of accuracy do we need? Adding 1/8th of a drop isn't an option
I have been working with another poster in this thread for a couple of days now to add the feature. Note that you will need to go into the options of the calculator "Tools->Options" and enable the display of grams, I figured that most folks don't use grams (yet) so I defaulted it to not show the grams.
Thanks a million!
Hopefully this feature will help other people to convert to this method as well.

Don't get me Wrong.
The Quest for Higher and Higher Levels of Accuracy and Precision is a Good thing. And if a Person thinks that their e-Liquid is Going to be Better using a $1,000 Scale, well then by All Means, Go For it.
But there does come a Point where a Person is Just Throwing Money at something and Getting Little or No Improvement to the Finish Product.
It's kinda like using a Laser Interferometer to measure the Lengths of Fence Posts for a New Fence. I don't think the Fence is Going to Look any Better than if the Person used a $10 Tape Measure.
How's this look? added a section 8 for the drops and g/ml control. Then added areas for g/ml based on desired ml...

Ok, the link to v14 is now live with g/ml calculations. The link to it is in my sig...
Let me know if there is any problems.

Dan,
a few comments on section 8:
I would make it look as follows
PG 1.04 g/ml
VG 1.26 g/ml
PGA 0.8 g/ml
Vodka 0.94 g/ml
Water 1 g/ml
Flavors 1 g/ml
I think you mistakenly interpreted my "nicotine 1.01 g/ml" for a PG mix while it's actually the weight of pure nicotine so you can leave that out.
I'm not sure what you mean with the 3rd ingredient line...
If you use the above 6 ingredient lines everything should be covered.
These values shouldn't be user editable because they're written in stone except for the Flavors.
You can use the PG and VG weights for both "with" and "without" nicotine. The difference is negligible.
I've also averaged out the weight for the flavors to make it simpler.

yo han, the third ingredient is Pure Grain Alcohol. I got stumped by it too, a while back.
I didn't mean my 3rd line but the one in the calculator screenshot: "Water/Vodka/PGA based on VG"
Not anymore Danny: Look at how easy it is with the latest calculators.
I've made a blog entry of a revised version of this post.
Which calculator is that?
I'm much more comfortable working in weights for DIY and the conversions of ml to g are getting tiresome.

I use weighing exclusively and love it. I wrote a spreadsheet based off the ejuice me up tool. No more material waste. Quick and easy. Make a batch of my favorite stuff in 5 minutes and no cleanup. Simple, just how I like it.

Question - I have this little AWS-100 scale that reads to 100g. and reads to hundredths .00 - has a 2-1/2 X 3" plate on it
Don't know if any one here may have used this one before.
Do you think this scale has the ability to detect single drops properly. I mix 5 ml. bottles and some ingredients call for a tiny amount

I think the Best Thing to do I to do some Testing with your scale.
Try doing 5 and 10 Drops of Water and write down what you get. Then pour out the Water, Re-Zero and do it over again a couple of times.
Ok - now I have done that procedure about fifty times all dif. kind of ways.. seems to be drops are moving the scale 1 drop at a time pretty darn close in indiv. weight measure and totals.
Now - how can I screw up a design blend with this method ?? I just made two bottles in 1/4 of the time as my newbie .... allowed me to do before, but now I don't have to find in a bright light to see those tiny hash marks on the 1 ml syringes any more, and rinsing out is faster.
I got a few glass droppers from some 50ml. bottles I ordered from WL. they seem to work fantastical.
Thanks for this thread and the other with Hot Rods calculator..
