The reason I bring all this in light is because so many folks just don't have a damn clue. Look at some of the much praised copyrighted programs, LOL... Not really a joking matter!

A Clue about What?

---

You Lost me on the Copyrighted Programs. What does this have to do with Nicotine Volumes in Nicotine Base?

Run this thru your juice progam...
Base = 100mg. 70% PG 30 % VG
Target = 15mg. 85% PG 15 % VG (no flavor)
55 ml total

Correct is :
Nicotine base = 8.25 (.825 ml. is Nicotine, 5.1975 ml. is PG, 2.2275 ml. is VG)
Add 40.8513 PG
Add 5.8988 VG
Amount of required PG = 46.04875 total
Amount of required VG = 8.12625 total

Some programs take the Nicotice and coonvert it into the prcentage of PG/VG.

Yeah... Many Do.

So what is the Relative Error when they do for say an 18mg/ml Flavored e-Liquid?

And is this type of Error something that should keep DIY-ers Up at Night?

I have questioned a program as to why the nicotine was converted into a percentage of PG/VG. Many just push me off as to why such little would matter! Well Hail, damn me for even think a little would matter!

To some it Matters. To Many it Doesn't. But once Again, it is Kinda a Word Thing.

It Matters to me that People Put Blind Faith in a piece of Software and do Not Question whether the Results are Correct. And it Matters to me that a Coder can't not make a Better piece of Code.

And it Really Matters to Me if Someone Can Not do the Math with a Pencil, a piece of Paper, and a Hand Held Calculator and Find the Correct Answer to a Math Problem like this.

But It Doesn't Matter to me if the e-Liquid I am Hitting on is Exactly 18mg/ml when in Actuality it is 17.8mg/ml.

Because there is a Threshold where Higher Levels of Accuracy to Arbitrary Numbers of mg/ml Can Not be Detected.

So what is the Relative Error in a 18mg/ml if the Volume of the Nicotine is Not Accounted for.

Seems like if we are going to talk about things like Errors or Being Off, we should At Least Quantify it.


Error in 18mg/ml related to what? Related to a program that is deemed correct yet isn't?
