Manual ratio calculation?

[EmeraldLeo1982]

Just looking for the exact math solution for figuring out my ratio of PG/VG/flavoring. I've made an excellent bottle of Madagascar Vanilla that I want to be able to repeat.

Right now there's:
2.5ml of 48mg PG Nic
2.75ml of VG
88 Drops FW Madagascar Vanilla

And the bottle is right at 7ml full.

My nic I believe is around 18mg. I'm not sure how many ml of flavoring is in it though because I added it by drops and increased until I hit the sweet spot. So basically I need to figure out what percentage of the formula the flavor is, and then figure out what the total blend of PG/VG is.

I'm not sure how to figure out percentages in reverse lol I know that's sad.

EDIT: Found a percentage calculator and I'm using 25% flavoring which is right about 1.75ml of flavor. So if my thinking is right I'd add that to the PG amount to find the PG/VG ratio correct? If so then my blend is 60PG/40VG +/-1%. Can anybody else confirm just to be double sure?

EDIT: Ok so I also did 2.5*48 to get my total nic then divided by 7, and my overall Nic content is 17mg/ml correct? (2.5*48)/7=17.1

Well, 88 drops seems a lot for only 1.75ml, but I suppose it could be right. I'd verify how many drops from the flavoring bottle equals 1ml, though.

Anyway, yes, you're close.

2.5ml PG + 1.75ml Flavoring = 4.25ml PG

4.25 / 7 = 0.607 (60.7%)

So, it should be 60.7/39.3 PG/VG, as long as the 7ml total is correct.

It's a rough guesstimate based on how full the bottle is. I don't have any measured bottle just 10ml ones. I suppose I could squirt it all out into a measured syringe I have and move it to another bottle measuring along the way.

You have a Recipe that can be Repeated. All you need to do is to use the Same Sized Dropper for your Vanilla Flavoring.

Or Measure Out 88 drops of the Flavoring to figure out How Many ml 88 Drops is for that Dropper and that Liquid.

BTW - Have you let the Flavor Steep? Because e-liquids tend to change after a Few Days.

Why don't you take the Plunger out of a CLEAN Syringe and Drop 88 of Flavoring into it? That would tell you the ml's that 88 drops is.

And when your done, Squirt the Flavoring back into it's bottle.

Yeah gonna do that zoiDman. As far as steeping goes I ran them through the coffee pot method about 4 times and let them air out overnight. Enough to develop them a bit but not to a full steep obviously. I don't have the backstock of juice to just let bottles sit for a few weeks yet.

The main Reason I asked about the Steeping is 88 Drops sounds like a Lot of Flavoring.

But I have Never Used that flavoring so I have No Idea how Strong it is? Or how Strong you like your e-Liquids?

 

[EmeraldLeo1982]

It's a really weak flavor, and I like my stuff a bit on the strong side. It is flavorwest afterall and they recommend using their flavors at 25 to 50% so I'm right at about 25%

Gotcha. Like I said, I've never used FW Flavoring.
