Can someone please help with the DIY calculators?

[Northkings Fan]

I have:

PG-based nic (60mg/60ml) (Target=18)
Bottle of PG (Target=60%)*
Bottle of VG (Target=40%)
Bottle of flavoring (0% nic) (Target=10%)

Based on what I have, can someone tell me how to
enter these values correctly in a calculator? *Do I need PG if
it's already in the nic?

The calculators don't exactly spell it out for me.
Or perhaps, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
In either case, would someone mind holding my hand with this?

I'm so close to vaping, I can't even stand it.

Bueller? Bueller?

how much ml are you making. and is the flavoring pg base?

How about a e-juice calculator to help you out Here

Works great

I found that it just takes awhile to get used to the calculators. Here's a bunch, maybe you'll find an easy one to use.

Some folks find it wise to add the nic last in case you don't like your mix. If you have absolutely nothing to vape, you can just use straight VG.

Tundra...

Thank you for replying.

I thought I would start out with 15 ml.
The flavoring is 50/50.
Overall, I'm looking for a 65%/35% Pg/VG mix.

Which juice calculator are you trying to use?

 

[Northkings Fan]

Wendall,

Appreciate your help.
Like I mentioned, all the calc's are basically the same.
I'm just not smart enough to know where the numbers go.
I've seen this one before. But because it doesn't have
a "dummy" version. So, I'm pretty much lost until someone
explains it to me.

I've got years of drafting, algebra, & trig under my belt.
But this just escapes me. Go figure!

Hi Fringe.

No particular one in mind.
I'm pretty sure I've seen them all.

Just seems like none of them fit the list of ingredients I have.
As I mentioned before, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Thanks for your help.
I'm just trying to understand them.
The form fields don't exactly fit my list of ingredients,
or not like I think they should.

The calculators aren't the problem.
I'm the problem.

Give me about 5 minutes to whip up a little photo tutorial on the 'ejuice me up' calculator, okay?

Take as much time as you need.

 

[Fringeoflunacy]

Okay, that did take more time than I expected, but I think this should help a lot. I plugged in the numbers you provided to make it easier to understand.





Let me know if you need any more help, good luck!

 

[Fringeoflunacy]

Damn, even if you click on it that image is tiny, let me see if I can fix that.


EDIT: Fixed it, if you click the image it should take you to ImageShack and you can zoom in there.

 

[Fringeoflunacy]

By the way, I forgot to circle it in the photo, but the 'Water/Vodka/PGA' line is only used if you're adding distilled water or some sort of alcohol to thin a juice (usually only needed if you're working with very high VG percentages like 75% or more).

That's nice enuf to make a sticky out of!

Northkings: Not many people try to DIY this soon into vaping, but it's just that it's new to you- I doubt that you're not smart enuf.

FIY- there's a section under TOOLS for easy NIC mixing.

Fabulous job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make that possible.

I copied the pic from imageshack, and imported it into CorelDraw.
And it's big.

When I'm mixed, you'll be the first to know.

A good night to all of those that participated!

You're welcome!

And in case you didn't know, there is a whole DIY forum here:

Lots of really helpful people there that have waaaaaay more experience than I do.

thanks for that image. i needed a refresher. i tried my hand at DIY a few months back and remember the ejuicemeup program giving me a bit of a problem. i ended up figuring it out, but i know for sure that i will have to start at square one once i get mixing again.
