Any recipe sites that break down based on my flavors?

[Skoad]

I did some googling but had no luck. Probably doesnt exist but figures I would ask.

Basically I am wondering if there are any e-liquid recipe sites that will let me select the flavors I have (or want to use) and it would show me a list of recipes I can make.

If there isnt one, I hope one comes along a sit would be a great addition. I keep finding things that sound great, but once I view it I see I dont have many of the flavors required. I have about 10 different flavors but can hardly find anything that have my flavors (and I have common flavors). Would just make things a lot easier lol.

Sort of......there is this site: Flavors - e-Liquid Calculator

Ahh thats pretty much what I was looking for.. Just not put together too well. Thanks!

Do you have the free e-juice Calculator app installed from Breaktru.com? When you install the app, you also get a lot of recipes, but you can also create your own and they are all saved in the same folder with a .rec extension.

Now here is a cool add on to help you find recipes that include your ingredients. Download an online tool called Harddisk Search and Stats Freeware software (Search engine for your harddisk. Freeware, searches text-based files.), add your ingredients and it will search your e-juice folder for all recipes that include those flavors.

For a better explanation and screenshots, visit the Breaktru How To Page at eJuice Calculator - HOW TO and scroll almost to the bottom of that forum page. Look for the message from Breaktru Admin entitled "Search for Flavoring" (May 13, 2012).

I love this e-Juice Calculator, the ability to store my own recipes, and this groovy search ability from HD Search.

Good luck and happy mixing!

I have been fiddling with the eJuicemeup calc.. I also knew their website had a few recipes.

I didnt know about the HD search though and I can definitely see that coming in handy. Will give it a try. Thanks!

I could probably build something like this if there's enough interest. Ya'll would have to populate the recipes though, as I'm brand-damn-new

 

[Skoad]

Im pretty sure if something nice like this popped up.. People would contribute.

Thanks!! Very interesting site.

A buddy and I wanted to build a site that would do that, still might happen but we got lazy and he's been buying premade stuff lately, if anyone wants my ideas i'd be glad to share.

 

[daddysmurf]

I've begun building a recipe dictionary. It should be at least somewhat functional in a day or two (maybe by the end of the weekend). Once that is done, it should be pretty easy to write a few simple reports which will allow you to search by ingredients, etc. I'll keep ya'll updated.

 

[daddysmurf]

I can't impress upon you how much this is in development/alpha/beta/whatever you want to call it -- I call it a proof of concept on its way to being in development. Ya'll let me know what you think. I'm open to hear anything from design to calculation formulas, etc. It doesn't currently do most of what you would expect, so the first thing I need is an explanation of the general formula for this stuff (please don't point me to an excel document unless I can open it in ViM). I've tried to pick apart a number of these calculators, but I just can't seem to predict their outcome reliably.

If it sees enough traffic, I'll be getting it its own domain and unobtrusive ads to help with upkeep (adwords and the like)

 

[daddysmurf]

Sorry ya'll, I've been pretty busy at work the past week. I'm going to put some work in on this tonight

 

[daddysmurf]

Ok, there's a calculator -- the most difficult change I had in mind (yes, this was difficult for me, oddly enough). Next I'll be normalizing the flavors and flavor manufacturers. I reckon we'll see how this goes.

 

[SeaBrz]

Great start, daddysmurf! I like the way your logic is going.

I am sure this is taking a lot of time to develop so thanks so much for a tool that I am sure we will all love.

 

[daddysmurf]

Well, thank ya much! To be honest, if I thought more people were/were going to use it, I would probably put more heart in it. You have definitely given encouragement to push through the next steps!

 

[daddysmurf]

Well, I lied. The beer overcame the encouragement. I will give ya'll a taste, though. I did get the manufacturer's creation/edit page functional tonight, but it's not ready for (pseudo) production yet.

(Immediate) plan:
Normalize db to handle a mfr->flavor and flavor <-> recipe concept.
Report to filter recipes based on 1 or more (based on "and" association -- i.e. "I have these flavors. Whatcha got?") flavors
Report to filter recipes based on 1 or more (based on "or" association -- i.e. "I have these flavors. What should I buy?") flavors

(Distant) plan:
<user feedback>
Google AdWords (eh... maybe it'll pay?)
User authentication (it's about half built, half not. I don't like the user concept, so we'll see how this works)

Love where this is going and I am pretty sure that once its completed or near completion, it will start to catch on. With nothing else like this around, I can see every DIYer checking it out.

 

[ianferrell]

Lol, hadn't checked this thread in a while, but it inspired me to start working again. Been a little busy to devote much time to it, if we can get a little more work done we'll show it off here shortly.

 

[daddysmurf]

Alright, ya'll, it's ready for some fun. The Manufacturers and Flavors are now normalized. Before adding a recipe, you will need to make sure all necessary flavors are in the system. Before adding a flavor, you will need to make sure its manufacturer is in the system.

Now it's time for the easy part of making it all searchable

Oh this excites me. Thank you, Daddysmurf, for working on this!
