Ejuice calculator (added quantity calculations)

[StephensVap]

Since the industry went belly up the site where I purchased my e juice from is no longer offering my juice or DYI supplies

SO I'm trying to figure out how to make my own.

I purchased 36mg nicotine in 100%PG
I purchased both VG and PG and some flavorings

I like a 50/50 mix on the PG/VG with a target of 24mg and sometimes 18mg nic

Its very confusing trying to calc 36mg nicotine @ 100%PG into a 50/50 mix with a target of 24mg nic (and sometimes 18mg) ,

I don't know how to enter the proper %'s in the fields and for some reason I cant get any calculator to stop giving me negative number errors with either the VG or the PG

Any suggestions?
If I can just see how to do it once, I should be OK afterwards

Um, half of 36mg/ml is 18mg/ml, so a 50/50 mix is only possible if you make 18 mg/ml with no flavor. (flavorings are usually PG just like your 36mg/ml nic)

I would recommend getting at least 100mg nic juice, that way you can play with 50/50 VG/PG without neg numbers.

Thanks for the reply
Ive been away for a while since I asked the question.

I should have got the 100mg (next time) but I have a bottle of 36mg nic in 100%pg

I want to make a 50/50 mix (with a nic range of approx 18 to 24mg)
Do I just cut the bottle of nic in half (at whatever size that bottle is) and add 50%VG to it to get 18mg?

For example
If was to make a 30ml bottle, what I'm not sure of is how much nic @ 36mg 100% PG I would need to add to the 30ml bottle to get the nic to a strength range of approx 18 to 24mg

That's what the calc is made for ya' know

You fill the bottle half up i.e. 15ml of 36mg pg. If you add 15ml 0mg VG, so the bottle is full now, then you have a 18mg 50/50 PG/VG mixture. You've essentially diluted your nic by cutting it in half hence half strength.

How am I supposed to use this? Its just a .xls file. Where is the calculator with all the options and inventory stuff at?

 

[mhertz]

It's a DIY-calc spreadsheet in XLS format, meaning to be opened/used from an XLS reader, like e.g. MS-excel, open/libre-office or online from google-docs etc.

oh... I see. So where is the calculator program that used to be available on this forum? Is it no more?

EDIT: sorry, i found it.

Extremely helpful. I’m brand new at mixing. I think I’m putting too much flavor in, since most of the recipes appear to be 10.00 and I’m using 16.00 which has been a tad too much on the mixes I’ve done the last 2 Days. I was basically copying off of another recipe.

Quick question, 1ml of water is 1 gram, how do I measure juice? Just wondering since most everyone on this forum, that I have seen, agrees that weight is easier than volume.

Again, thank you for the spreadsheet. It will be a huge help.

Hi mate,
I use the values below:

PG: 1.038 grams per ml (I round to 1.0)
VG: 1.26 grams per ml

Pure Nicotine: 1.01 grams per ml
100mg in PG base: 1.0352 grams per ml
100mg in VG base: 1.235 grams per ml

For PG based flavour: 1.0 grams per ml
Have fun
I

 

[Bayou14]

Thank you! That is awesome.

 

[Bayou14]

One last question, what percent of flavor do you use? I’m aware that it will vary depending on the flavor and probably the brand, but I have been using 16% as a general rule. Is this too much, not enough, a good starting point?

Hello, i am a noob when it comes to diy mixing and
quite thick when it comes to calculating stuff. I spent much
time making sense of it. I vape Inawera
VPG PLUS 12 consisting of VG/PG 48%:43%, 5% demi water
en 3% ethyl maltol. Since i'm a purist and uncomfortable with
vaping a sweetener and heard it tastes ok to vape just vg, pg and
nicotine. Also to soften the throat hit a little, have a little less
PG in there.

Would someone be so kind, to check if the VG/PG percentages
and nicotine levels are right, with the used volumes?

i have:

- bottle of strictly VG/PG 70%:30% with 18 mg/ml nicotine
- bottle of pure PG
- bottle of demi water

• 70/30 18 mg/ml base: 21ml
• ADD pure PG up to: 25.5ml
• ADD demi water up to: 28.5ml

VG/PG: 51.882352942%:38.117647058%
nicotine: 13.263157895 mg/ml

This VG/PG ratio and nicotine strength looks nice.
I hope it's all correct.

Much appreciated...

I don't use this particular calculator, and didn't want to run off-topic in this thread, so I replied in a more appropriate thread here: New Calculator to try

does this calculator work on a mac?

Yup! it works on any platform as only needs a spreadsheet-type app to use. It works fine also with a browser and google docs, the free online office-pack.

Hi, all.
I've personally used New recipe :: e-Liquid Calculator 's calculating, and have been extremely happy with it !
I can add multiple flavors, water/vodka/whatever, pg/vg/nic..... it all works out very nicely.
Not to detract from Dan's awesome .xls calculator, but I've found this New recipe :: e-Liquid Calculator to be very very helpful.
I'm now searching the thread for the latest version of Dan's calculator to try that out, just tried version 4.0 .
All the best ! I can see people have gotten a LOT of help here, that's awesome !
Now to search for the latest calculator of yours....

EDIT: Found it, v14. In Dan's signature. Thanks.
