1 question on DIY %

[Absinte]

Someone help me, I've completely forgotten how to calculate these kind of recipes. For e.g,

Flavor #1 30%
Flavor #2 50%
Flavor #3 20%

Final % = 15%

I think I know what you mean...and you'd multiply the percentages.
If you want ALL flavoring to add up to 15% of your mix, and half of that to be Flavor #2, then flavor #2 is .5x.15= 7.5% of your volume.

BUT - I HIGHLY recommend using a recipe calculator for this!
It let's you handle odd mixtures, and also takes into account how changes will effect your VG/PG and nicotine strength easily...

If you use a PC, this one is great: EJuiceMeUp.
It has built-in recipes, and let's you "Save As" your recipe to re-use or fix up a little next time.

Agree with Train2. Use a recipe calc..
Hint:
You have a 3,5 and 2 ratio to hold. Just maintain that ratio to add up to 15% of flavor.
Not sure what your trying to do?
TIV. ?
Hopes this helps.

I think I'm one of the few DIY juicers that does it the way you mentioned...

I DO use a calculator like mentioned above. But, I use it for my total flavor %, nic strength and base amount.

i.e.
30ML total at 20% flavor = 6ML flavoring
Flavor #1 30% = 1.8ML (30% of 6= 1.8)
Flavor #2 50% = 3 ML (50% of 6= 3)
Flavor #3 20% = 1.2ML (20% of 6 = 1.2)


The only reason I do it that way: 1. That's how I started and old habits die hard haha. And I don't feel like going through and converting all my recipes to the Total % By Volume math. 2. It makes it easier IMO to adjust the total flavoring % down as desired, rather than dialing each percentage back individually by flavor.

Nicely Answered Train!!

There is a section in the ejuice me up calc under tools that has to do with flavor %.

Ah is there? When I started I just used a calculator and one of the simple web based ejuice calcs, and it stuck for a while. I have eJuice me up installed as well as JuiceCalculator. I started trying to use JuiceCalc, but for some reason everytime I close it, it clears out my inventory, so I've shyed away from them.

And I somehow missed train's first reply. Sorry! wasn't trying to thread jack!
