How to USE (enter info) Ejuice Me up calculator

[Red_Bird]

Heres how to enter info into ejuice ME UP:



Top line (nic Strength e juice)= ENTER pg/vg ratio of ur nic and MG strength (aka...the nic u bought)
Second line (Target Strength)= ENTER the MG strength of eliquid u are making
Third line (Amount to Make)= ENTER amount you are making, __mil
Water/Vodka/PGA (Adding any additives? Enter the percentage here if so__%

Flavor #1.....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor #2....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor #3.....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor 4......= ENTER the % u are using

BOTTOM SECTION= change 50% PG 50% VG to the ratio u are creating (if its not a 50/50 mix ur making)



----> hit bottom right TAB "Calculate"

*****the exact amounts u need to the tenth of a millileter will now be revealed ( the amount of nic, pg, vg and each individual flavoring )

 

[Red_Bird]

No need to count drops or guess at percentages....^^

I have been using this calculator for almost two years. Breaktru has a great product and continually works on it to make it even better. For those reading this thread who do not have it yet here ya go:

Thanks Red Ive just gotten into diy and looked at this for a bit and dismissed it. Glad I got pointed here as I think it will be a valuble tool to create save and create small to big batches of liquids Ive created.

 

[Red_Bird]

Yes, I use it to double check myself still. It uses very little system resources either, its a small handy little app.

 

[Complexed]

Im not too worried about system resources I have a custom made power house. Its 3 years old and still stomping ....

This pc needs a new cpu/mobo soon. Its a 3 yr old Intel quadcore i7 860 @ 3.3 Ghz, 8 gigs of ram, Sapphire 7970 OC Edition video card, Seasonic Gold Edition 750 watt psu, Rosewill Thor V2 case......Built it in August but yanked the cpu/mobo out of a 3 yr old pc I built.

Ginormous HSF on it, I've overclocked since 2001, lol.

 

[wandawag]

thanks everyone...you are all so helpful and knowledgeable. i have not yet ordered supplies. what should my shopping list look like?

 

[Red_Bird]

SIX one ml syringes.(for flavorings).....4-6 eighteen gauge blunt tip needles for the ONE MIL syringes (flavorings)

THREE ten mil syringes.....
THREE twenty mil syringes.... SIX fourteen gauge blunt tip needles....(use these bigger syringes and 14 gauge tips for NIC, PG, and VG)

Gallon or 2 of distilled water (Walmart sells it 88 cents)

Liquid nic in PG/VG ratio and MG strength u want
PG
VG

Pick out flavorings that sound good to you, if you want to know if its a good flavor from the BRAND of flavoring u are buying ASK SOMEONE or u can pm me.

EMPTY glass/ and or plastic bottles

maybe 3-4 ten mil bottles
maybe 3-4 thirty mil bottles

You can dispense the syringes into the eliquid bottle you are housing it all in. Rinse out SYRINGES in distilled water 4-5 times each after using a flavor concentrate!

Rinse out BIG SYRINGES (for pg, nic, vg) two times each with distilled water...

Distilled water is your friend, you don't wanna cross contaminate flavorings...pg, vg and nic.

Stay sanitary, safe and have fun.

Red Bird I've been using the E-Juice Me Up to DIY.
Today, I decided to check out the "20" drops per ml that's on there automatically.
Going by drops, using the bottles that I drop from ... I got PG at 23 drop per ml, VG at 14 per, and the flavoring at 32 per.
I'm surprised I haven't poisoned myself ... other than it went the other way and cut the nic way down, also the flavoring. (thought it was my taste buds still outta whack)
So, I can use syringes to measure ... but... how do I use the calculator now.
I'm wondering if I have to plug in each count separately , take a reading for each PG?VG?flavoring .
I could print out one for the PG count to start with, change the "count per ml" amount for the VG , and then do it again for the flavoring. I could then cross out the wrong count on the original for each. ....
How do you guys do it when the counts per ml are all different ???
Thanks for any info

Don't drop. Syringe only. More consistent batch to batch. Not saying you can't make juice you like with drops. Some folks swear by drops. I can't use them. Not and get the same flavor every batch. Drops are too random by nature. I don't even know my drop counts for anything but a 14ga blunt.

That still doesn't tell me how to fill in the "drops per ml" section of the calculator.
If I put the PG count in (23) then it's wrong for the VG drops per ml count (14) and the flavoring at (32) drops per ml.
So I guess I have to run each recipe 3 times, changing the counts to get the correct recipe amounts
Right ?????

If you want to use drops. Yes. You have to change count each different dropper. If you are using a syringe and measuring by it and mls on it only then the drops don't matter.

I know a few mixers in real life. NONE count drops...its not accurate enough.

You IGNORE the part about drops totally.

 

[psycheval]

The only drops I use are when I stand my syringe up in the bottom of the bottle with plunger out and use a dropper to put in the desired mls. I then put in plunger and push liquid. Pull out plunger in now empty syringe and add next liquid just like the first. This has become my preferred method. No mess except the end of the plunger and syringe. I never lift the syringe out till I'm through. Just lift up to get air to remove plunger.

OK, so I'm assuming the "drops per ml" section of the calculator are there for people who use drops only to measure and it won't make a difference for those of us using the syringe ???
Just like you said Red ... ignore it ??

And a big thanks to you guys for your replys ....
I've been asking all over the place

When I look at any eliquid calc if it's not in the ml or % rows I can't even see it. Know what I mean.

I hear ya

Big Thanks

I've been using E-Juice Me Up since 2010 and I love it. The only thing that makes me sad is that there isn't an android app.

If you really want to make a batch of liquid so small that it requires drops it CAN be done, but learning how to work a dropper/pipette takes some practice. Holding it at different angles with different liquids will give you different sized drops and thus allow you to work from the same drops per ml count. Best to practice in a graduated cylinder first though until you have it down before actually trying to mix that way. Personally, I'm syringe all the way for the most part, but I have made a few 5 ml test batches this way.
