Ditto- If something is sold as 99+% Vg then it really should not vary in weight by any amount we could measure regardless of the vendor.

Its a downloadable one which I really dont wanna deal with the hassle of making it play well with a Linux OS.
EDITED cuz ecf won't let me put the link in here.
google - online e-liquid calculator by weight and it is the first one that comes up.
good luck!

The one thing that a person Might encounter in weighing VG or VG Nicotine Base is a Variation due to Water and Nicotine content.
If Pure Vegetable Glycerin weighs 1.261g/ml but it has been Diluted with Water (1g/ml) then the Diluted solution will weigh Less.
How Much Less? That depends on the Amount the Pure is Diluted by. But the weight would be Bound between 1.261g/ml and 1.000g/ml
I dilute my Pure VG with about 5% Water. So the Diluted VG I use to Mix with is about...
((.95 x 1.261) + (.05 x 1.00))g/ml => 1.25g/ml
I just Round it Off to 1.200g/ml because I am concerned with Levels of Accuracy at the +/- .05g/ml scale for VG. And 1.2mg/ml is an Easier Number to do Mental Math if I want to.
The Other Factor, which we might as well consider, is the Weight of the Nicotine.
If a Person is using 100mg/ml Nicotine Base which is 100% VG they Actual are Not Using 100% by Volume. They are Using 90% VG by Volume. And the Remaining 10% is the Nicotine.
And the Nicotine weighs Less than Pure VG.
So 1ml of 100mg/ml 100% VG Nicotine Base should weigh about 1.2376g/ml
Whereas 1ml of say 18mg/ml 100% VG Nicotine Base should weigh about 1.2563/ml
A Very Small Variation of .0187g/ml. But something that a person should see.

Just checked it out and its awesome. Thanks. It seems it already knows all the initial weights and all I will have to do is plug in the basic recipe info and mix away. Cant ask for easier than that!
I run Linux too, I just made my own simple libreoffice spreadsheet calculator, it calculates in ml then there's another column which make the conversion to gram. That link really helped me: www dot vapingXunderground.com/threads/guide-to-mixing-by-weight.22891
edit: edited link, dont know why ECF censor it, just replace the dot and remove the X

Was a Linux nut in the late 90's then got away from it because of the games were windows platforms (serious warcraft addiction for 6 years) now for last few years been running LinuxMint KDE and only boot into windows when I dont have a choice which is seldom.
Excellent link, thanks for sharing. Didnt know botboy141 mixed by weight. I used a few of his recipes and they was all good.
I thought he was referencing straight VG but see now that he was refering to a Nic. in VG base. My bad.
No Worries.
The concept works for either Pure VG or for Nicotine Base.
Still would like to Know the Numerical Amount of the Variations that Strangbrew is seeing either way.
