dot1ml - online eliquid calculator

[Screamin Eagle]

PS - for a sneak preview of how the learning mode is going to be integrated try clicking on the gold stars next to some recipe names.

It won't let me click on the stars.
Oh! You ment once I clicked on the recipe!! Got it now. NICE! Will be very helpful.

Expert:
Has both PG and VG bases. Has nicotine in both PG and VG bases. Has flavorings in both PG and VG bases. Has the knowledge and experience to minipulate the ingredients (with their different bases) to achieve their desired final ratio (PG/VG).

Novice:
Has one base (maybe both). Has one bottle of nicotine (normaly in PG base). Uses whatever flavorings they can get when they order from somewhere (normaly in PG based). Uses the ingredients they have on hand to make mixes in whatever final ratio gets them close.

Having a floating "final ratio" and taking out the fixed "target ratio" will work for both.
An expert will be able to look at it as they go and make adjustments so this final ratio is right where they want it to be. They already know what ratio they want to achive.
The novice can insert what ingrediants they have on hand and let the calculator tell them what the final ratio will be.
This should eliminate the negitive numbers comming up and confusing the novice.
The only "target raitos" should be the nic. and total volume. These should never change as you calculate the mix. The final ratio can be flexable and should be allowed to change.

Now "in my mind" the perfect calculator would allow me to enter what volume I wish to mix (3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 15ml ...), the end nicotine ratio I wish to achieve (both volume and nic ratio would be constants), the bases I'm working with (100% vg base (or 100% PG, or 50/50 or whatever)),base nic. (PG or VG), base flavoring (PG or VG), water (also considered PG by vertue of it's vicosity).
The calculator would take all this into consideration as I enter my persentages. It would recognise that, if I'm using a 100% VG base, I am not using a PG base , that I'm only adding PG by vertue of the ingerdients and adjust the VG level as the values are entered.
If I use a different base (say 50/50) the calculator would recognise that I have some PG as a base and adjust that level acordingly).

As long as I have PG in my base liquid, and are adding PG based ingredients, it should take the same amount away from my PG base ratio. Once the base ratio hits 0 that calculator should recognise this and start taking volume from the VG side because you can't have more then 100% of your target volume. Even though your total "ratio" will float, your total "volume" should remain a constant.

For the most part, in recipes, many of the ingredients can't (or won't) change. The only flexable percentages are your bace liquids (PG or VG). These are what you have to take away from in order to allow the rest of the ingrediants to be added.

I think the amount of text in your post (and my previous ones!) is testament to how complicated & potentially confusing the whole "how it works" can become.

Some changes are already in the pipeline - they might not make everything work exactly how you're describing it but hopefully should make things clearer and easier to figure out. Will post updates back here as and when.

Nice, I Just posted one up there to test it out. Very good job. Nice that it works on my Droid phone as well..

Wow - I'm impressed you're using it on your phone! Although planned from the onset I still haven't done any work on mobile compatibility. Aren't things a little squished?

Looks good on my phone. Maybe cause I have a big screen lol
Thanks for doing all of this. I am new to diy juice and this is far the easiest to use and understand for me.

Thanks for the screenshots - Not sure if much will need changing in landscape mode but the portrait mode could definitely do with a bit of attention!

BTW Nick, great job on this. works wonderful

NickIcon, BTW, just got my new Kindle Fire 7" HD today and it works great on there too. No more need to lug out the laptop outside to brew some juices...

That's good to hear - thanks! With all the different internet-enabled devices out there nowadays it's getting harder and harder to ensure websites work on all of them.

Oh no doubt. But it's becoming clearer. Your doing a great job on it Nick. It's becoming a great calculator. I've already got a few recipes in there and I'm working on putting a few more in. It's a nice place to make AND store them.

not sure if this has been covered but why the 5ml increment,
Common bottle sizes for Test batches are 1ml/3ml

- I am thrilled to use this and have registered...but atm i have 10 3ml batches need a mixin ;p

Pleased to hear it - exactly what I've been aiming for.

Yes - this has been raised before so I already had a solution in mind. I've just updated the code that manages all the +/- adjustments to accomodate sub 5ml recipes. Please do give it a try and let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the quick response, but I'm still only able to do 5ml and up =/
Working for anyone else?

Your browser will have the updated file cached - a good old page refresh or two should sort you out.

Nice


The mac users should be trilled to have a online calculator.

Even tried it this morning after a pc restart and everything, im gonna delete all history and try again, still just a 5ml min for me.
*edit - A helpful tip for chrome users, clear ur browsing data and it should work !
got it working thank you!

Phew!

If you don't want to clear all your browsing data you can usually do a "hard" refresh to clear any cached files: CTRL+F5 for most PC browsers.
